Source One Electrical

My Electric went out on New Years Eve (yesterday) and I waited around for my Home Warranty to solve the problem… then realized… Um no. Those idiots left a message for a company that was closed for the holiday and the weekend. When i woke up freezing on New Year’s Day I called a million numbers with no answers on this very badly timed loss of power… nobody answered. Then I remembered my friend said our mutual realtor had recommended Somone (Source one Electrical) to her. Our realtor recommends them to all of her clients and my bestie actually had her entire breaker box and wiring done by them. So I texted her and she replied with the info on Unilocal and called the number.
The office phone went straight to Nick North’s cell and he answered quickly… Five stars for answering on a Holiday, right? haha Seriously though, top notch service came with this Holiday service call. He said he could come out about an hour and a half later. Then he did. Within a few short minutes he determined we had a bad breaker box, then he went to lowes and bought a new one and replaced it. He was very quick, precise and wasted no time. I usually hate dealing with hourly services because I worry about getting ripped on labor, but i tell you now that Nick runs and honest company and does quality timely work. If you’re on the fence, I tell ya… just go for it with Source One Electrical! :) I’m nice and warm writing this review ON NEW YEARS DAY because Nick made the time to help me out when nobody else would. AND didn’t raise the price on me knowing i was in a bind. Even if I don’t get a reimbursement through my Home Warranty Company that kept me on the phone for about 5 hours today giving me the run around, Nick’s pricing was amazing he was very up front the whole time.
THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES AGAIN NICK!

I’m a little late getting to this review but felt that the work Source One performed deserved taking the time to write one. I called Source One to get a quote on upgrading my main service panel, Nick was able to come out quickly and give me a quote for the upgrade along potential issues moving from a 100 amp to 200 amp panel. After starting the project SDG&E informed us that the main line from the street was not in conduit and was undersized. Being on a budget I decided to cut the concrete and trench from the street to the panel myself, Nick and the guys worked with my schedule and also provided suggestions so the upgrade would go smoothly. After SDG&E signed off on the trench Source One installed the conduit and I back filled and compacted the trench, after that was complete and signed off by SDG&E it was Source One team’s turn, they were very professional and accommodating to my special requests and completed the upgrade on schedule. If I have any future needs I would not hesitate contacting Nick and his team at Source One. Thanks for working with me!

Nick and his crew at Source One have provided our family fairly-​priced and good quality work on several residential electrical projects, including several repairs and three panel upgrades. They are easy to deal with and honest, and the employees are polite and professional.

This has been a frustrating experience.
When the electrician, Dan, was here and completed the work, he wrote on the service contract that he had worked for 2 ¼ hours at $ 85 at the site. I did not realize when I signed the service contract that the 1 hour at $ 125 per hour of driving was on top of this, I thought it was included in the 2 ¼ hours, since he was here for such a short time. I should have questioned him more and had him spell it out on the form, since it is a very confusing form.
When I received the invoice for the work it said 4 hours at $ 85. When I called the shop to ask them to explain the invoice, Hunter said that they do not charge for ¼ hours only ½ hours, so I will automatically have to pay more because the worker had made an error in filling out the form. «But not to worry because they fired the guy because he kept making errors like this.» Hunters general attitude was «whatever»; just pay it, because we are right.
We have used this firm before and when Chris, the owner, was the electrician everything was handled beautifully. However now that the company has expanded, they do not seem to care about the client.
The work was done satisfactory, but I would go over the service contract carefully and maybe even call the head office to go over it before the electrician leaves just to make sure they do not change things later.

I met Nick in 2013 to get an estimate on replacing track lighting in my kitchen with recessed LED lights, and patch up ceiling holes. His estimate was quite reasonable for the electrical work, but not so much with the ceiling patch. Ever since then, I’ve been calling on Source One for all electrical work in my house. I’ve had Mike, Gunther, Billy, Dan and others work on different electrical jobs from replacing/​installing light fixtures in the bathroom, door bell, ceiling fans and carbon monoxide/​smoke alarm. The last few times, I’ve had Dan over to install motion sensor to an existing exterior lighting system to enhance our outdoor surveillance cameras at night. There was a glitch after a week; the motion sensor wasn’t working. I called to report it, and Dan came back to check, and replaced a defective motion sensor. Dan is very patient and meticulous with his work. He was here to check on an outdoor electrical outlet that wasn’t working. Dan is an electrical detective, and gets the job done. When I call Source One, I ask for Dan because I know he’ll get it done. I’m happy to have found Source One Electrical. Their customer service is excellent for repeat customer, like myself. No drama! I highly recommend them.

I’ve worked with Nick and his team for many years as an HVAC contractor and recently had an opportunity to use him for some work at my residence. As usual Source One provided the exemplary service I’ve come to expect. I hope I can continue to use his services in the future though in my new position the opportunity may be difficult to come by.
I strongly recommend Source One

Nick & his helper Dan are awesome! Needing emergency attention to a blown-​out AC unit on a day that was supposed to hit 100 degrees on Thursday, I looked to Unilocal for some help. Source One Electrical had all 5-​star reviews so I gave them a call. I got owner Nick on the phone, told him what happened and literally within 15 minutes was at our front door. He accessed the situation & told me that he or a helper would have it up & running promptly. Very shortly thereafter Dan arrived to fix the problem & then came today at my bidding to address another issue that had been brewing.
He discovered and fixed a potentially dangerous issue today as well. These guys are the real deal & we’ve already scheduled them to come back and look over our 40+ year old home for any other electrical upgrade suggestions and/​or recommendations that also may need addressing. They are very professional, honest, communicate in layman terms & very fair when it comes to pricing.
We give them a 5 star rating because there isn’t a 6. Highly recommended, don’t even bother calling anyone else!

These guys are great, they helped me remodel my house and put in new lighting all over, inside and outside. Great job and it was very reasonable price. Highly recommend them.

Source One served us very well. Couldn’t be more pleased with their professionalism, knowledge, expediency, work ethic, and friendliness. Of course, to complete this positive message was their quote, which came in lower than the other estimates I received. Other companies on the job also commented on their excellent work. Thank you to Hunter, Nick, and others who worked on the job.

Nick and the whole Source One Electrical team did a fantastic job helping me get power to a few areas in our new home. Everyone was punctual and extremely professional while paying close attention to detail — I’ll definitely be contracting them for further work in the future!

Been working with Nick and Source One Electrical for almost 10 years and they have done multiple jobs for me in two homes. Just completed a task on a place we moved into to ground the outlets for safety, add a couple of fans in the bathrooms, clean up the dangerous garage wiring and a few other items here and there. As you can see from the rest of the reviews, Nick and his team are as good as it gets. Communication is superb. He’ll always lay out all the options/​risks for you, let you know how much each costs and let you decide what works best. Not an ounce of pushy and very focused on doing the right thing.
Had several of Nick’s crew out doing the work and all were punctual, considerate, thorough and did a great job of cleaning up after themselves. Even though Nick and I have been doing business so long, he still came up to check on the job and to make sure I was happy. Nick’s Project Manager, Hunter, also came out a couple of times to ensure the work was on track, being done right, and ensure I knew what was happening with any changes made during the work (most were because of me changing my mind).

Excellent Service. I had Dan as our electrician and he was as patient as it gets. He was able to connect our upper and lower cabinet tape lighting including connecting all of our existing lighting together with dimming capabilities. The staff followed up as vendors should be making sure scheduling was done right and had their staff show up right on time. I would highly recommend their prices and service to anyone

I had Nick and his crew add some outlets and data wiring for an office remodel at my home. Communication was excellent, the work was well done, and pricing was very fair. Nick very nicely suggested some changes to what I had in mind (no pressure at all), and I decided to take his advice. It worked out well — very happy with that. Also, the crew that came in to do the actual work cleaned up after themselves so well I couldn’t even tell they had been there afterwards. And then Nick didn’t even send the bill until he checked in a couple of days later to make sure everything was working the way I liked it. I was so happy with the work in my office that I asked him to put in some exterior lighting on my garage — which also came out super well. Pretty darn happy with the guys at Source One Electrical.

Woke up on a Friday night about midnight to the sound of a electrical sort going on in the wall of our master bathroom. In the morning (on a Saturday) we called Source One and Nick came out to look at the problem. He was able to diagnose the problem and fixed it quickly and did so in a a very friendly and professional manner. He was very knowledgeable and answered all the questions we had for him. If you have any electrical problems I would not hesitate to call Source One.

Outstanding company. Had the pleasure observing Nick and some of his employees doing work in my condo. All four were professional and pleasant. The work was excellent and the price very reasonable.

Source One Electrical is amazing. Nick came to the law firm I work for and gave us a breakdown of exactly what needed to me done. The way he explained everything and put into words I could understand, made me feel at ease. I knew I was not getting taken advantage of, his knowledge was impressive! Not to mention the price for the amount of work being done was very reasonable, especially compared to other quotes we had received from other businesses.
He had one of his employees come to my office to conduct the work. We had some issues on our end with the building security not letting him in to my office. However, the employee was extremely patience and understanding. He came in to make a «dedicated source,» which is not a small job by any means. He had me up and running within two hours. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about what needed to get done.
I love giving the «mom and pop» companies my business and I was 100% satisfied with the work that was completed. I would defiantly use Source One Electrical again.
