What Oakland Customers Say About Us
I called East Bay Electrician Services, and they were at my house in 2 hours. I spoke with Matt, who was very knowledgeable and had replaced a bad NEMA outlet in less than an hour. Matt has very good customer service, and he answered all my questions in a very detailed and easy to understand way. I can now charge my car at home thanks to Matt's great service.
I reached out to Matt for a rough estimate on an electrical panel that I needed to upgrade. He was very responsive and quickly provided me with an estimate based on our conversation and the photos I sent him. Matt arrived on time with his assistant, Carl, and explained the work involved in detail. Both of them were friendly and professional. If you need electrical work, I highly recommend contacting Matt. He follows through on his promises and sticks to the estimate he provided.
We had just moved into a home with an older electrical panel that definitely needed to be replaced. I called a few licensed electricians for estimates, and I couldn't have made a better choice than East Bay Electrician Services. Matt was always ready to answer any questions we had and consistently provided detailed responses throughout the whole process. Matt and Tyler did a great job, and our new electrical panel looks nice. They also left everything clean when they were done.

Real electrical work for Oakland homeowners
Electrical Panel Upgrade
This 1950s Rockridge home had a 100-amp panel that couldn't handle modern appliances. The homeowners wanted to add an EV charger but didn't have the capacity. We upgraded to a 200-amp panel, bringing the electrical system up to current code and creating room for future expansion.
Level 2 EV Charger Installation
The homeowner purchased a new electric vehicle and needed faster charging at home. We installed a Level 2 charging station in their garage, running new wiring from the panel and mounting the charger for convenient overnight charging. Permits handled, inspections passed.
Whole Home Rewiring
This 1940s Montclair home still had original knob-and-tube wiring that was unsafe and couldn't handle today's electrical loads. We completed a full rewire, replacing all outdated wiring with modern copper wiring throughout the home. The work included new outlets, switches, and bringing everything up to current electrical code.
