Fredric's Electric

This company literally saved our lives. Our housecleaner discovered that the dishwasher plug under the sink was blackened. I called Frederic and he responded immediately. Within 24 hours, Julio (the most charming tradesman I've worked with in 37 years in Berkeley) came, installed a new GFI outlet and dishwasher plug. Our house could have burned down. And the price was very reasonable. Highly, highly recommended!

I called Fredric when I triggered the electrical breakers due to using too many appliances at the same time. At the time I was new in the US and had no experience with US breakers. Fredric was very helpful and guided me on how to reset the breakers. That saved me paying for the electrician to come by and fix it in person (he didn't charge me for the over the phone service). I plan to hire Fredric for a bigger electrical job as I was impressed by his competence and thoughtfulness.

Fredrick was amazingly helpful. I had questions about installing a tankless electric water heater. He walked me through a complicated process, reviewed pictures of my electrical panel/main breaker and helped me make an informed decision. Ultimately I went the tank route which didn’t require extensive rewiring. Oh, did I mention he didn’t charge me for all the advice? I’ll use him every time I need work done…I owe him.

I called Fredric's Electric for a second opinion after a big company told me that I needed to spend around $10,000 to replace the entire outdoor electrical panel. Fredric was great to work with - extremely responsive and was able to fit me in right away. He is both an expert in his field and a great communicator. He explained in detail exactly what the situation was and determined that there were repairs he could do -- the entire panel did not need to be replaced at this time. The repairs he did were effective and cost less then 1/20th the price of installing a new panel. Hassle free! I will call Fredric for all of my future electrical work.

We needed an emergency fix as our house power was out. Called Fredric's first thing in the morning, and they delayed going to their scheduled job in order to help us. Julio came around quickly and determined our 200amp circuit breaker needed replacement. He and Fredric (by phone) worked together to see if a replacement part could be procured, and as it turned out, the parts supplier had one in stock, so Julio drove to pick it up and returned to make the replacement. We are very happy with the professionalism, friendliness and responsiveness of Fredric's Electric and highly recommend them.
