Nick M. says, "Bay Electric was outstanding. Vahe arrived a few minutes early to our appointment, looking sharp, energetic, and clearly very knowledgeable. He quickly understood our office remodeling project and immediately began calculating the AMPs, volts, and all technical requirements for each workstation, our kitchen equipment, AC, AV room, and the sub‑panel update. As we walked through the space, Vahe pointed out several important electrical considerations we hadn’t been aware of. He helped us realize that our overall power needs are higher than the power that comes to our space, which means the project is more involved than we originally thought — and we’re grateful he caught it early. Even though this project now needs to be replaced with larger project, and that requires updating the plan internally, we will absolutely be hiring Vahe again to start the job the right way. His professionalism, clarity, and expertise gave us complete confidence."See more

Ruth W. says, "ARC Electrical Services did a good job for me with my outdoor electrical issues. I have 3 outdoor outlets that were not working. Angel and his teammate assessed the issue, explained everything and got to work. It was a little more involved than it initially looked to be. They came promptly each day, worked all day and finished in a timely manner. When I turned on my sprinkler several days later, water started bubbling up. I called ARC to describe the problem and they sent Angel back. There was some damage to a segment of the irrigation line near where the wiring had been placed. Angel got to work to repair it and fixed it quickly, no charge. I would not hesitate to hire ARC again."See more
