Alternative Power and Electric

Jeffrey Sheets, owner, was great! He took my call and after explaining i was up against a deadline he came same day and got right to work. I realize he needed to juggle things to make this happen but i’m grateful for the fast and great service.
Thanks Jeff!

One of the most powerful people in a rather upscale Silicon Valley city sauntered into my house with a clipboard and turned out to be one of the coolest people in the area. Unfortunately, I desperately needed a good electrician who wouldn’t fleece me based on such a small job and the zip code of my humble abode. Luckily, the powerful person recommended Jeffrey Sheets whom I called immediately. He set up an appointment for a day that was open for my schedule. I was totally blown away by his professionalism, promptness, attention to detail, and super reasonable price. The huge plus is that he patiently takes on small jobs as well as the huge ones like those for major corporations and institutions. Another deal is that he was the third electrician whom I’ve had in the house (other two wanted over $ 1k for some simple stuff that I figured out myself) and the only one whom I chose due to his willingness to come in for such a small-​scale job. The job was to fix what a handyman did very poorly and to make a repair to an outlet and panel that would be up to city code. I knew that I should have called an electrician for the job at the beginning, and I’m just relieved now that I have Jeffrey’s number for a ton of other future projects big and small.

Jeff came out late on a Saturday last month after one of the county’s tree’s dropped a very large branch on top of the power line to my house, tearing off the attachment to my roof. With no A/​C and no lights late on a Saturday, I figured I was going to be out of luck and power until Monday, but thankfully found Jeff on Unilocal.He came over 30 minutes later, he then made a run to a store to get a part he needed, he worked around the crew which was clearing away the branch, and he got the power line re-​attached and power restored within a couple of hours that same day — all late on a weekend day when he could have just told me to call him Monday.
I can’t recommend Jeff and his business highly enough — a real life saver and a real professional.

I would give Jeff 10 stars if I could for the fantastic service and quick turn around.
My machines were down and we were all in a panic, so I contacted a local electrician.
They could not fix the problem, I was then referred to Alternative Electric, by another company that I called, they came out within a couple hours and the problem was fixed within the hour. Very professional service
I would and will recommend them to anyone that needs electrical work done.

I was introduced to Alternative Power and Electric by the outstanding team at Almaden Window and Door, who use them to do electrical work associated with window and door work. They were on time and did a great job finding a creative solution for moving an outlet, which kept my door job on track. I subsequently hired them to install under counter lighting in my kitchen and convert a can light on my porch to a pendant.
Again they were on time, efficient and enthusiastic. This was a small job and they made it easy for me by coming prepared to do the work the same day they looked at it. Jeffrey recommended a new LED light tape product that I wouldn’t have known about, and he brought out a sample which I loved and that saved me a trip to the store to pick out lights. He came up with a solution for moving my garbage disposal switch that eliminated having to add a box or expand an existing one.
These guys know what they’re doing, they communicate well and they love what they do. I don’t know who was more excited when we turned on the new lights, Jeffrey or me!

Jeffrey Sheets just left my house. I called yesterday, and he was on time this morning. Fixed a daisy chain issue that affected my dishwasher, garbage disposal and an outlet. He also swapped out the outside light with a new one that I had purchased. Made some suggestions on improving my electrical configuration, and what needed to be done to get it up to current standards. He was clean and professional. Price was very reasonable. I’m planning on upgrading my kitchen lighting and will definitely call him again.

I have been using Alternative Electric for almost 10 years. They do a great job. Really good troubleshooters. They show up when they are supposed to. They are polite, clean & professional. Try them for your electrical needs-​you won’t be disappointed!

I found Jeff through the Nextdoor social network for neighborhoods. He and Jay are really nice guys and polite too. They arrived on time to install my kitchen pendant light and replace the recessed CFL lighting to LEDs. They found an efficient way to replace the CFLs and saved me time and money. They know what they are doing. They put drop cloths in the work area and cleaned up afterwards. I would use them again.

I referred Jeff to my building owner and he had them install a new power supply for some new equipment. The work looked great and they were very clean and professional. It doesn’t get any better.

I found Jeff Sheets and his crew through the recommendation of a co-​worker. Boy, am I happy she told me about them.
I have had them work on my house twice now and each time I have been very happy. The guys are efficient and polite. Jeff and his crew are nice guys who know what they are doing.
I won’t go any where else at this point. A shout out to Jay and Rick as well.

Jeff is timely and very responsive. We have used his service many times.

The right way to get the job done isn’t always the EASY way. I could count on Alternative to do things the RIGHT way, and at a reasonable price for the quality of work
