Jinnat IslamSeptember 17, 2026.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Iraj first came to give me an estimate to install 20 recess lights in my house. He was professional, very knowledgeable and his price was very reasonable compared to other quotes I have received. We then scheduled the work. He and his partner did the work over 2 days. He also changed my existing lights to day settings, changed a few switches out to dimmer switch. The finished outcome was beautiful. I’m very happy with the work they did. I will reach out to him for any future electrical work I need. Would definitely recommend them for any electrical services. AbhinavJuly 21, 2026.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hired emelco to get recessed lighting and flush fans installed in my house and also to fix several electric deficiencies/violations from home inspection report (grounding, loose wires, wrong placement of exhaust). Both Iraj and Emin finished the job timely, thoroughly and professionally. They also co-ordinated well with another attic crew as i had overlapping work scheduled due to time crunch. They also took care of final city inspection and ensured we were able to use a early slot that became available. Am also glad i took Iraj's advise to get fans also installed and schedule painter last. Will definitely give them a call whenever I need other electric upgrade or repairs. Hang PhamJuly 14, 2026.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very satisfy with the service. Iraj came on the same day after we talked on the phone. He was punctual, fast and did a great job on installing an electrical outlet for us. His price was fair for the excellent service provided. Highly recommend this company. Lawrence TanJuly 11, 2026.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Today, Emelco Electric came to install a doorbell for my house. There was no electric wire for a doorbell and we did not want to install a battery powered doorbell that would require continual recharging. I was expecting that the job would take about 3 hours and that a new line would need to be run under the roofline from the front door to the service panel in the back. Instead, Iraj took a look at my house and said that he could connect the doorbell to the power being run to the living room light switch. The whole job took less than 2 hrs, and Emelco installed the interior chime, the outside ringer, and left no cosmetic damage anywhere. They politely laid down a tarp for their work and even vacuumed them they were done. My wife and I are very happy with their work! I highly recommend Emelco Electric. They are professional electricians! Mathew ChackoJune 24, 2026.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had Emelco install a L2 charger at my house. They are very courteous, efficient and did a great job at a very competitive price. I would highly recommend them. Milan DesaiApril 20, 2026.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Iraj for several electrical projects in our new home, including replacing light fixtures, new outlets, and an EV charging station. He also helped with getting an existing EV charging station at a different property permitted. Iraj is very professional and responsive, comes on time, and charges a fair price. I plan to use him for all electrical work in the future. Piao ChingMarch 15, 2026.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the second time Iraj installed my 3 ceiling fans. In addition, he installed my EV wall charger in the garage. He completed the job in about 3 hours. He is very flexible and able to come on a Saturday to do the job. I would highly recommend Iraj! Pourya EmsakiFebruary 8, 2026.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a really great experience with Emelco Electric. Iraj and his colleague helped me troubleshoot an issue with my main electrical panel and took the time to explain what was going on in a way that actually made sense. They didn’t rush through anything and were very patient walking me through the full panel replacement process, including what needed to be done, why it was necessary, and what to expect next. What I appreciated most was how transparent and straightforward they were. Electrical work can feel overwhelming, but they made the entire situation feel manageable and stress-free. They were professional, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to, which made a big difference. I felt confident moving forward after speaking with them and would absolutely recommend Emelco Electric to anyone needing reliable electrical work in South bay area. Stacey RubinavaDecember 18, 2025.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had LED lights installed and couldn’t be happier. Super prompt, professional, and fast — showed up on time, worked efficiently, and the results look fantastic. Clean work, great communication, and everything was done right the first time. Highly recommend. Brian CraneDecember 2, 2025.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found Iraj and his team to be very professional and was very happy with the work they did for my house in terms of grounding outlets and installing bathroom fans!
EXCELLENT Based on 77 reviews Rochelle F.2026-08-24 One more time, Yelp Reviews save the day - I really appreciate how quickly and efficiently Emelco Electric is. I reached out on a Monday, maybe? by Thursday they were over performing the work. I needed an attic fan - he gave me some solid advice when choosing what kind. He said electric is way to go, more efficient and will work better during the winter months if needed. They came and went above and beyond in installing and creating a switch to make it more convenient if I ever want/need to turn it off. Pricing was extremely reasonable and I just felt like I was getting a team that had the knowledge and skills. Work was done in less than 2 hours! Milan D.2026-04-20 We used Iraj for several electrical projects in our new home, including replacing light fixtures, new outlets, and an EV charging station.

Their price is simply awesome and they are the only ones I call when I need something electrical installed at my home. Their quality of work is great when they cover up all the furniture and make sure its clean and tidy when leaving. william r.2025-10-02 Professional electrical work - thorough and detailed I hired Iraj for several electrical projects in my attic: installing lighting, a GFCI outlet, and repairing damaged cable where rodents had chewed through the sheathing. Iraj did excellent work. He was thorough and professional, spending the time needed to do the job right. For the cable repair, he properly installed multiple junction boxes, replaced the damaged sections, and even added protective blue conduit to prevent future rodent damage - a nice proactive touch I appreciated. The work appears code-compliant and well-executed. All junction boxes are properly mounted and accessible. The pricing was fair for the San Jose area and reasonable for the quality of work provided. I'm confident in the electrical safety of my attic now, which was important since I had ductwork and insulation installation scheduled right after. Everything is ready to go. Would recommend Iraj for electrical work in the South Bay area. kim t.2025-09-17 Iraj is just amazing to work with. He's professional, straightforward, fast, reasonable, and very knowledgeable about electricals. Iraj and his team routed the electrical from our panel to our garage for a new heat pump water heater installation. In addition, he taught me how to fill out the electrical load calculations to pull the permit! I really appreciated his help! My parents were without hot water for over two weeks, and even though Iraj's schedule was very busy, he made time to complete his electrical work and came back to the house exactly on the day the heat pump was installed so my parents could have hot water that night. Iraj is prompt, very helpful, and has excellent communication. The project was completed fast and smoothly despite a few hurdles not related to the electrical work because he was fast, skilled at his job, and communicated well. I would definitely contact Iraj again for any electrical related work and recommend him to all my friends and family. Dr. Alexander M.2025-02-16 After calling Emelco to replace 3 external lights plus the front door lockset with new ones I had purchased that were totally different for my new home, they were able to arrive at my place in less than 1 hour. I witnessed their quality work all the way, and they completed all replacements quickly in about an hour. I am very impressed with their excellent service and highly recommend them for all electrical work including the wiring and installation of electric vehicle charger that they did for me in a previous service call. They are also able to take care of certain mechanical services such as vent and smoke detector relocation. I paid $350 for their labor this time which considering how quickly they arrived and completed the job is definitely worth it. Thank you Emelco for your excellent service. Ricki H.2025-02-06 Emelco is my go-to for any electrical work. Iraj does great work and is extremely quick. Larry M.2024-11-26 After bad experiences with 2 other electricians, I got really lucky. Fixed my issue in 10 minutes for a great price. Definitely a great experience Terri R.2024-04-24 Excellent service. I've used them for several years. These guys are prompt and friendly. Chardchai W.2024-01-17 Back in August 2023, I had 2 gentlemen who visited my property and performed installation of the 240 volt outlet NEMA 14-50 50 amp and the breaker for my garage. The process didn't take more than an hour for them. They did a thorough job and used a multimeter to double check that the outlet worked. I was happy with the work that they performed.
