  Made an appointment to have some lights installed and they were a complete no-show not just once but twice!! Maybe they should change their name to Four or Free Electrical Solutions because they certainly didn't honor their on-time commitment and they didn't return calls to explain what happened or make it right.

  Chris and Issac were fantastic to work with! I got the appointment set up promptly, pricing was fair and the installation was perfectly done. Chris and Issac were courteous and arrived on time. Our ceilings were extra high so they even touched up some paint for us since the area was difficult to reach. They made sure we were completely happy with the installation and cleaned up thoroughly afterwards. I will definitely recommend Five or Free Electrical Solutions to all my friends! Thanks!

  The team at Five or Free did a great job handling our panel replacement and fixture installation! The actual service was great and their handling of all the permitting issues was so helpful. The city of Oakland staff member who came to review the work told me that they have a great reputation and do great work, and I agree! Thank you all so much!

  This review is long overdue. I called Five Or Free Electrical Solutions because my circuit breaker kept tripping a couple of months ago. Eric came out first and tried everything he could to fix the issue, even called someone to help with the problem- very professional, early, great communication, did not rush through the job at all. Unfortunately, the problem was complex and returned. Gilbert came out next- professional, patient, took time to walk me through and trouble shoot the problem, and explained everything along the way. He ended up fixing the issue and gave me advice on next steps should it return. The problem hasn't returned! I would definitely use this company again, and highly recommend it to anyone having electrical issues. Overall- easy to schedule, respectful, on time, professional. I had called a lot of electricians, and this company was one of the only ones that responded professionally.

  Before finding Five or Free, I was struggling to work with another (perhaps *the*) top rated electrician in Oakland. It was like pulling teeth just trying to schedule a visit with those people. Communicating with them over missed phone calls and endless misunderstandings was just too much to bare, so I started looking for other solutions.
  
  Five or Free sent out a technician names Tim very quickly to review the situation. He was punctual, incredibly nice, and very patient and informative when explaining to me how the wiring was set up in my newly purchased home. He presented me with multiple different options for moving forward at different price points, and wasn't pushy at all in going one way or the other.
  
  Then, when Tim came back to do the actual work, some further analysis revealed that some of the scheduled work didn't in fact need to be done. He made me immediately aware of this and reduced the cost of the visit accordingly. Some less honest technicians may have simply said nothing and billed me for work they didn't eve do.
  
  This is all I really need to say. They were quick, punctual, very easy to work/communicate with, and just all around good people. We will definitely be using them exclusively from here on out.
  
  Thanks Tim!
