Grid Electric

Tim is amazing.
He did a small project at our house — port for EV. Before start Tim gave few great suggestions and made sure it will be in the right location.
Quote was very reasonable and job done pretty fast and neat.
I highly recommend Tim as a great professional.

Tim just finished the panel upgrade, outlet grounding and a few other small upgrade inside. He is a very dedicated electrical contractor and is very responsive. I’m very satisfied with his nice and neat work.
I will definitely be keeping Tim’s contact info for future upgrade. I really would recommend Grid Electric & Tim to my friends.

Wow! Tim and Daniel just finished rewiring 3 bedrooms for me and did a fantastic job! We have had problems with the original aluminum wiring in our house and have been slowing replacing it with copper in phases. Seeing the difference between how Tim has done the rewire and how another electrician has done the same assignment, has been night and day. Tim and Daniel ran the new wires from the panel under the house and down from the attic, compared with the other electrician that just removed sheet rock all the way around the room. The previous electrician (not Grid) left a huge sheet rock mess and it took over a week and a half of additional repairs from another contractor for sheet rock, tape, mud, float, texture and then painting (and more $$$).
Tim’s prices were competitive and he returned/​answered my phone calls. Tim and Daniel were professional, friendly and seem like nice guys. I usually hate having strangers working in my house, but these two were very easy to work with and seem trustworthy. I am pretty sure they do not smoke (not judging smokers, but we have asthma and are very sensitive to smokers). They carpool, so it was nice not having a lot of extra cars at my house. The work sites were cleaned up every day. Tim gave me pictures of concerns he noted in my attic that the previous electrician did wrong, and not trying to upsell me, he encouraged me to contact the previous electrician to have it resolved.
I will definitely be keeping Tim’s contact info for the future and would recommend him to anyone that wants safe (up to code), quality electrical work done.

I can understand that «no job too small» (some kitchen rewiring) might not be part of the offered services, but having made four unanswered calls over the course of the past week, I don’t see how Grid is any different from trying to get the attention of any other busy contractor.

Tim was super helpful and offered a ton of advice to help me upgrade my main breaker panel to 200A. I connected with Tim early in the process and he helped outline the steps needed to work with PGE and the local city inspection office to help get the job done. I opted to handle the permits and PGE assessments and when they were ready, asked Tim to step in with the electrical work. He ran a new ground, took off the old panel, cleaned up a bunch of lines coming from the old panel and consolidated it into a single junction box up to the new panel for a tidy look. He’s got great attention to detail and I highly recommend him!

Tim just finished a rewire at my house. He also put in new ceiling fans, bathroom fans, outdoor motion lights, new indoor light fixtures, a new panel, all new outlets and switches.
Tim and Daniel were extremely professional and courteous at all times… prices were totally reasonable and they left my house really clean. They are trustworthy and honest, knowledgeable and are excellent to work with! I highly recommend Grid!

Wow, what a great experience dealing with Tim. He upgraded my main panel within days of my initial inquiry. Extremely professional, fast and excellent workmanship. Also, cheaper than most of the competition which is a great plus!

Tim is a very dedicated electrical contractor and has very good gestures. He tries to help in all possible ways. Very reasonably priced and I had my house do the new panel (200 amp) and rewire some of the circuits in kitchen and few outlets. He did a neat job and I was more than satisfied with his clean work.
He and his helper were really dedicated, prompt, very responsive over calls and attends to a problems quickly.
I recently had a quick favor and he came promptly to check if everything was fine.
I really recommend Grid Electric & Tim.

I needed an electrician and read these reviews and thought this guy sounds great! I called and left a detailed message and never even got a call back. So much for quick response! How rude.

Tim at Grid Electric did a panel upgrade to a 200 amp service for my home. I was having a PV system put on the roof and the old panel didn’t have capacity to accommodate it. Tim gave me a quick and competitive quote and everything went pretty much as planned. During the PV installation both the contractor doing the connection and the City inspector were impressed at the quality of the work, both saying «that’s a sign of a good electrician.» Tim’s attention to detail results in clean, professional work.

Reached out to Tim to do a service upgrade on a 200 amp service and install electrical for a solar system.
He went far above the call of duty on this project with overkill being so anal on the project.
When the city came out to inspect it, they even gave him kuddos about how awesome his work was.
Competitively priced, reliable, dependable with class a work, I strongly recommend this firm… awesome job gents, thank you

I needed to have my breaker box replaced as without lights in part of the house. This was an old box with very expensive breakers (40 dollars and more) and that did not fit the bus bar very well. I had already made the decision to replace the box. I saw Grids photos of box replacements for others and I was impressed,
Tim showrd up when he said he would (point one) and provided a possible schedule for how long the job would take. I received the quote and decided to go with Grid. Tim showed up on schedule (point two) completed the work in the scheduled time (point three). Workmanship was the best I’ve ever had for electrical work. The best experience I’ve ever had period with any vendor.

On a scale of 1 – 5 stars, Tim and Grid Electric deserve a 10. Tim installed a new electrical panel and sub-​panel for me. He handled everything — parts, coordination with PG&E and got the city to inspect and sign off on the job. Tim is friendly and knowledgeable. He asked all the right questions to determine what I needed in the panels to support a future kitchen remodel.
Tim let me know when he would arrive, how long the job would take, and followed up throughout the job via phone and text. He is professional in every sense of the word. I can’t say enough good things about the job he did and the way he did it and the city inspector agrees. The work Tim did passed the city inspection with flying colors. When we do our remodel, Tim will be my go-​to electrician.
I have recommended Tim and Grid Electric to several friends and neighbors and am confident that he will give them the same great service I received. I don’t believe you can hire a better electrician in the Santa Clara Valley than Tim. He is truly awesome.

Tim fixed my range top with an amazing professionalism and personality. I half-​heatedly called him late one afternoon. He showed up within an hour and diagnosed the problem very quickly. He didn’t shoot for shortcuts, he rightly told me about the electrical issue and showed me what’s wrong in the circuit breaker. He estimated the time and cost of the work. He showed on as agreed day & time and did the work as promised. One take away for me from the whole experience is that Tim doesn’t shy away from quality work which is what is needed with electrical stuff.
His personality is the bonus for working with him. I’m having his number handy for future electrical needs.

Tim was very knowledgeable and knew what he was doing. We had him work on our electrical light switches as certain outlets in rooms only worked when the switch is in. (Both the top and bottom outlet) Sometimes a pain as in the kitchen the switch controls the light we have in there. In order to use the outlet, the light has to be on. Now we have a dedicated constant power outlet and the other works on the light switch.
I would recommend Tim for electrical work in your house anytime. Very professional !

Tim is very professional and has the best prices around. He has done numerous jobs around our house. Some big and some small. His prices and service are unbeatable.

One of his pictures is from my house!!!

Tim at Grid Electric is awesome — extremely knowledgeable and professional. I would highly recommend Tim and reach out to him for my next project.
Tim did all the electrical work in our house — recessed led lights, wiring for kitchen cabinets, under cabinet lights and pendant light installs.
Tim came up with a detailed and reasonable quote
Followed up in a very professional fashion to complete all the electrical work in time and on schedule
Assisted and provided valuable inputs in selection of under cabinet lights
Overall very clean work, knows the trade and friendly to work with.
A few weeks after the project I reached out to Tim when a main fuse went off and Tim came by, replaced the fuse and got my electricity back, all in goodwill without a fee — that saved my day.
You can trust Tim’s work and have a professional experience.

We needed to replace a very old and potentially dangerous electrical panel. I know several electrical contractors who gave me bids but they couldn’t do the job within my time frame. I then looked up electrical contractors in my area through Unilocal and called four electricians.
Tim Ash from Grid Electric was the first to return my call and asked comprehensive questions to determine the scope this job required — I needed everything new from PG&E’s line down to the box and in to the house. I compared Grid’s electric quote with two other quotes I already had. His quote included all parts, labor and permits; and was less expensive; AND he was willing to come out and look at it right away.
I was not comfortable about the current condition of the panel. Tim from Grid Electric immediately responded to my sense of urgency. He jumped on this job right away, got the permit and all the parts in one day. Then, the next day he was here and installed it all. And what a clean professional job he did!
Unfortunately, when I have work done, I am real picky and literally stand watching every move. I usually have to have things redone to make sure it’s done right. Not with Grid Electric. I am more than happy with the installation and his work habits.
I know it’s done right.
The Inspector came out and signed off on everything the first time. I plan on using Grid Electric again. What a great find. Thank you Unilocalers for your input. Grid Electric is now my go-​to electrician from now on! And I do not hesitate to recommend him.

We hired Tim to do a panel replacement and upgrade. First, he came out to give us a quote on a Sunday. Then, his price was 40−50% less than the other two quotes we got for the job, and it was all-​inclusive for the permit and appointment, where the others would have tacked on additional fees.
He was on time for each appointment we made with him, and completed the work in a single day as promised. Finally, when I discovered at 8:00 the night of the replacement that my stove-​top and oven wouldn’t turn on, he came out at 8:30 pm to figure it out. It turned out that they had been wired incorrectly when they were installed, and although it wasn’t his fault or his responsibility, he switched the wires to correct the problem. I had a functional kitchen by 8:50pm.
Friendly, local professional who deserves a 5 star rating.

Tim is friendly, professional and has unbeatable prices.
Tim came highly recommended and for good reason. He did a great job. He fixed all my bathroom and bedroom electrical problems. He Installed new outlets and switches, grounded everything and brought me up to code and safe. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. He also did not charge me extra for an unseen problem that arose, that he made sure was no longer a problem.
I highly recommend Grid Electric.
