      Caio is an amazing electrician who is very responsive, prompt to his appointments and does a thorough detailed job. He is very humble throughout the process from the first time you call him, assessing the job, giving quote and finishing up the job. He leaves the site in a clean state once done with the job.

      His prices are very reasonable though I got only few quotes, I liked his personality and easy-to-work-with attitude the most which made me go with him. He is very patient and never feels rushed.

      I had him do 3 jobs so far at my place and he did great on all 3 jobs. I wholly recommend him for any electric service!

      Very happy with CS Electric, and they are my go-to for electrical work. I've had them do several repairs involving outlets and switches, as well as having them wire up a 220V service for my EV charger.

      Caio responds quickly to requests, comes out very quickly, and is transparent with pricing. He will quickly send out an electronic quote / estimate so that there's no misunderstanding about price and scope of work. I also appreciate that his work is neat and clean ... clearly takes pride in his work. I highly recommend him.

      They were very quick to respond and provide a quote viewing only pictures. However, I would never hire them based on all the stuff you have to agree to on the contract:

      Caio was pleasant to work with. He came out to measure and plan out the EV charge point install for our place.
      Provided a reasonable quote and came on time. Although we missed their emails / scheduling on some miscommunication medium.
      Prescribed work was done and site cleaned up all within the prescribed time.
      We really appreciate Caio's work.

      I hired CS Electric to install a Level 2 EV charger at my home. Out of the 3-5 places I received quotes for, they were in the ballpark but not the highest. They also took the time to send me a proper estimate after an initial phone call where we went through pictures of my electrical panel setup.

      Ciao and his colleague did a good job with the install, and the EV charger works. Ciao also helped me troubleshoot my AC which had stopped working during a heat wave. Apparently, one of the wires had become loose in my attic (which he reconnected). The AC now works. Thank you Ciao!

      CS installed an EV charger for us. They were everything you want in a contractor - they were prompt, efficient, decently priced and, importantly, their work is clean. We paid extra for them to take care of the permit, which worked seamlessly. They quoted some other work for us that was well-priced based on several other quotes we received. I'll definitely use them again.

      Good work/Okay communication/POOR pricing model

      TLDR: Try other clear cut prociders

      I enjoyed having one of the workers come and install my home charger. He took the time to correct his mistakes and cleaned up relatively well. Kyle was also cool, but I really disliked the pricing model he made up.

      Initially the quote was fantastic for less than 5ft of distance for the charger. Then I decided to scale out to 35ft.

      So from $650 it jumped to $1600.

      Keep in mind there is no fishing behind drywall or anything like that.

      Now that part doesn't bother me too much, let's just argue parts and labor can double from 5 - 35ft somehow, fine. But what bothered me was he mentioned very very last minute in person, while the service was being performed, that taking credit incurs a random 6% charge which destroys the 5% discount for new customers.

      This was absolutely ridiculous as the work was already underway and I didn't want his employee to scratch everything. This was definitely the most expensive installation vs other providers.

      Overall BEWARE! I highly recommend going elsewhere for other providers as they will give you CLEAR estimates and no random surcharges. Believe me adding these credit card fees is a simple scam, you end up paying through the same chase app anyways.

      Here is the breakdown of the inquiry:
      10% deposit due at contract signing
      35% material down payment due on starting day or when material is ordered
      25% due upon completion of rough work
      25% due upon passing rough inspection. If no rough inspection is required, 50% will be due upon completion of rough work
      5% due upon completion of final inspection

      The math does not add up, this is just informal fluff

      I need to get ev charger permit for my solar project. So started my project with Caio because he is pretty responsible and accessible during entire processes including Installation, update and inspection. He took care of all processes needed for permit application and inspection. On Inspection day, Caio came earlier and prepared all things perfectly for city inspection. What a good followup and good experiences with CS electric.

      I got Caio to install a Tesla charger at home.
      My mains has a max amperage rating of 120 amps.
      You are not supposed to use more than 20% of the rating.
      That makes it 24 amps. He left the Charger at the default which is 48A. That caused my mains to trip a couple times.
      A friend pointed out that you could configure the charger to 24 amps. All you need to do is download the app and set the max to 24 amps - so it never goes exceeds the max power. It took me 20 mins to do it.
      If you don't do that you need to remember to set the amperage each time you hook up the car to charge or risk tripping the mains!
      They did not know something as basic as this .
