Snell Electric Inc.

My husband blew the power to our condo and since it was 9:30 pm, I had to call an after hours electrician which was Snell Electic. Over the phone Tibor quoted me $105 for the trip charge and $60 per 1/2 hour of fixing the problem. When he arrived, he did some troubleshooting and told us that he needed access to the main electrical switch and that it would cost us $300 if he restores the power. What?! So basically he tried to price gauge us when he knew we would be defenseless and needing the power restored. What happened to $60 per 1/2 hour? Really though? $300 to flip a damn switch? We didn't know where the main electrical panel to our community was so we paid the freaking trip charge and sent him on his way!

They arrived nearly 2 hours later than scheduled and charged my 92 year old aunt $450 for replacing her outlet. (He drove back to my aunt two days later to deliver a $30 senior discount on the $450 she paid.). She did not need a new light switch. Her old one worked fine.

As a Realtor, I work with many contractors and service providers, and I highly recommend Snell Electric in San Ramon. Tibor recently installed a new electrical panel at one of my listings, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Tibor is knowledgeable, professional, honest, and takes the time to explain the work being performed. He completed the project efficiently, maintained clear communication throughout the process, and delivered quality workmanship. I appreciate working with professionals I can confidently recommend to my clients, and Tibor has earned that trust. If you're looking for a reliable electrician who is experienced, dependable, and committed to doing the job right, I would not hesitate to recommend Snell Electric. — Gina Bentley Homes
