Earle and his team are great!! Because of the extensive work I had done on 1904 Sacramento, I had to bring the electrical service up to code. This meant moving the electric meters away from the gas meters and installing new circuit panels. Making this change required coordination with the city of Berkeley and PG&E. Because Earle is so well known and respected at PG&E and the City of Berkeley building department, he coordinated the whole project seamlessly. The switch over to the new panels and meters was done on time and on budget. What really impressed me was Earle's expertise in figuring out the logistics of how to make the switch over in a way that minimize the power outage to the building. He was able to have power back on 30 minutes after PG&E cut power to bring in the new service line. So I would use Earle's Lo-cost Electric in a heartbeat - I highly recommend them.
