I first liked that they had been around forever. I also appreciate being able to call on a Saturday and get an electrician. They were great.

Roberts Electric did a small job for me installing a 240 outlet in my driveway for charging my new EV. Tom, the electrician they sent, knew his stuff and was very efficient and professional in tapping into my panel, finding a way to use its limited capacity, and wiring the outlet through the crawl space under the house to leave the smallest visible external footprint.

We were having problems with our electrical outlets and needed to find someone to do some troubleshooting. We also wanted to rewire our outdoor patio area. We called Roberts Electric and we were impressed with their service. They were prompt, found the problem easily and fixed it. They finished the rewiring project within the estimated time and we are delighted with the results. I have recommended them to friends who have also been happy with their service.

A large residential estate project in Alameda necessitated replacement of the neighborhood transformer to a location on our site, moving all existing and future feeds underground--an unusual and challenging undertaking that required extensive coordination with the local utility and City. We needed an electrical partner that was savvy, resourceful and patient. Despite a few hiccups, RECO once again delivered. A team without their skills and collaborative sensibility would not have been up to this challenge.

RECO was the electrical contractor on Oakland's Forage Kitchen. We worked closely with general contractor John Solomon, the structural engineer and architect to meet Title 24 requirements. We helped create what owners Iso Rabins and Matt Johansen described as "the best kitchen we’ve ever worked in”.

Highly recommend Roberts Electric. Angela, of the home office, really went the extra mile in setting up the appointment. She even found a ten-dollar overcharge on the bill and refunded me the mistake. I highly recommend these folks!

I had Roberts Electric install a lighting system for a horse-riding arena. They were fantastic, making sure the permits were in place, the breakers were easily identified, and they did a great job adding more lights when we realized there was a dark area on the path to the arena. Great price, quality work and super people to work with. Three years later I am still amazingly happy with the bright arena lights that help us get through winter! This project could have been so difficult, but they made it easy!

I've used Roberts Electric for 2 jobs so far, a ceiling lamp replacement and an upgrade of the outlet for my dryer. Both times the electricians were prompt, friendly and did a quality job. I'll use them again for sure.

Roberts Electric is dedicated to completing a project on time and on budget. As a Designer I can meet with their team onsite during preliminary phases and construction and we work out the nitty-gritty details with the homeowner's in mind. I have been working with them for several years, Very professional!

A neighbor recommended Roberts Electric to me during a family emergency, and I called at 8:30am. The woman who answered the phone was very nice after I explained the situation. The guy came by about 11am and it didn't take too long to finish everything.
I needed them to check the grounds in the living room to make sure it could handle the equipment we where bringing in, and to install two CFGI outlets in the kitchen. The living room was properly grounded but he replaced two outlets anyway and installed one CFGI outlet in the kitchen and put a CFGI safe sticker on the other kitchen outlet. The price was reasonable for them to come to my house and do a proper job.

Excellent experience. Would hire them again for future electrical work. We needed lights installed outside the garage, and on the front porch as well as a sensor light installed over a gate. During the estimate appointment we decided to have 2 outdoor electrical outlets installed and to upgrade the sensor on 2 exterior existing fixtures. The lead electrician, Matt, was meticulous and thoughtful in his work. Matt made a change from the original plan that was better than what we'd initially discussed. Both he and the 2nd electrician did an excellent job. They cleaned up so well after themselves we wouldn't have known they were here. They were respectful, skilled ambassadors of the company. The estimated price was the price we were billed. When I emailed Dan, the owner, with questions and additional scheduling needs (when fixtures arrived), he promptly replied. His recommendation to try Rejuvenation for quality fixtures was excellent. When Matt was caught in traffic he phoned from the road to let me know he'd be later than expected, and wasn't that late in the end. All around good experience.

They're not cheap, but they're good, they're in Oakland, and they're reputable. These things make them my choice for electrical contractors. They've done interior work for me, installing two ceiling fixtures where old gas ones would have been and exterior motion lighting. They've done the wiring for the inside of my garage so I could be legal with the City of Oakland and not have the questionable extension cord that the previous tenants put out there. They wired the garage for a garage door opener. Solid work. All on the up-and-up.

I had Roberts Electric (RECO) do a commercial electric and data project because of a recommendation from a contractor friend. They dealt with the problems of existing wire and legacy systems very well. On the most critical day of the project the had extra people to make sure all went smoothly. They left the site clean and in good order. Also, they quickly responded to follow-up issues.
