Willow Glen Electric - San Jose, California

Willow Glen electric was fantastic! They provided an estimate, coordinated around my tenant’s schedule and space, and even installed my new EV plug without me ever needing to be onsite. WG Electric installed the plug with ease and took my esthetic requests into consideration; meeting them with full satisfaction. They also handled and coordinated local permits and inspections. Full service by my book. I would highly recommend them. Thank you WG electric!

Willow Glen installed electric car chargers in our home. They were absolutely professional and knew the code book back to front. I am so impressed with their quality and expertise. They are well worth the cost if you have a big project and want it done right.

Can't say enough nice things about Willow Glen Electric. First, I chose them to install my EV wall connector. After checking out a few different qualified electricians (all from the manufacturer's approved list), it became clear they were professional and the most interested in making sure my project fit what I was looking for, without doing things I didn't need, and all at a very fair price - lower than others who suggested alternatives that were less effective! So I had no hesitation to ask them to come back and do my next project (upgrading my sub-panel for a kitchen remodel). Ray and Armando were super professional and courteous, and went above and beyond the call of duty. I'd recommend Willow Glen Electric to anyone, and am already recommending them to family members. Thank you, thank you!!

Willow Glen Electric installed my EV Wall Charger. They are very prompt, curious and professional. Reasonably priced. Comprehensive. Easy to work with. I highly recommend Willow Glen Electric (and their EV Wall Charger brand EVXperts) for your at home car charging needs.

Context

I was put in touch with Willow Glen to set up Tesla Powersharing for my new Cybertruck. I already had 2 wall connectors and a backup generator so the Tesla Gateway had to be put upstream of the generator's transfer switch and an older Wall Connector had to be replaced with a Universal Wall Connector. There were a few communication glitches with Willow Glen that took quite a while to resolve, and when they tried to pull the wire for the Wall Connector (because a control wire has to be added) out they didn't initially consider that the previous electrician might have taped the 3 wires together. Overall it took several months.

Work

Once these issues were resolved, however, Willow Glen was very professional and efficient. They had provided the county with detail connection diagrams, and when the inspector came out he and I were very impressed with how clearly the Willow Glen electrician explained what they had done and with his level of knowledge of the system and what it was designed to handle.

Summary

All in all I found Willow Glen to be very communicative, responsive, professional, and capable.

I had a NEMA 14-50 outlet installed for my EV. These guys are a little pricey especially after you throw in their costs for the city permit process, but they are very professional. Also, they gave a discount for MLK Day, which brought down the costs somewhat. The installation was very smooth, and I could operate the charger right away even as they pursued the permit process. They handled the permit inspection very easily. To adhere to code requirements, a GFCI-protected circuit breaker had to be installed. Their estimate warned that GFCI breakers are prone to nuisance tripping. Sure enough, the breaker kept tripping the first time I tried charging my EV. However, they came back and promptly replaced the breaker with a different brand. It has been working flawlessly since.

Also, they suggested a different location for the outlet, which turned out to be a much better choice than my initial request.

They know what they are doing. I highly recommend them!

The people at Willow Glen Electric are fantastic!! They put in a Tesla Charger 15 months ago which has worked perfectly.

This time I turned off the House Power at the MAIN BREAKER which was 44 years old and it would not reset or come back on. (I broke the breaker by using it!!!)

I called Willow Glen Electric and talked to Sylvia who walked me through some basic possible solutions to get the breaker to work again. None of the basic solutions worked so Sylvia forwarded me over to Sandra, Scheduling Manager Special Projects.

Sandra stepped me through the basics again then tried to catch an electrician who could come out. They had all left for the day so I got scheduled for 8:30AM the following morning.

Jake & Zeek showed up at 8:20AM and checked all the possibilities for why my MAIN BREAKER wouldn't reengage and ultimately changed out the breaker, turned on the power and everything was fixed. Great relieve.

I had mentioned to Sandra that I was in BIG TROUBLE with my wife. When everything was set scheduling wise, Sandra called me back and suggested I should take my wife out to a nice diner. The wife said "Let's go out to Opa for dinner" which was a perfect solution just like Sandra suggested.

Many thanks to my neighbor for letting me plug in my 100' extension cord to power a couple lights and eventually the hair dryer and WiFi Router to get her zooming for a morning meeting.

Thanks Willow Glen Electric and all the people who helped me out of this jam.

I recently had the Cybertruck Powershare and Tesla Gateway installation done by Willow Glen Electric, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From start to finish, their team was professional, efficient, and extremely knowledgeable. The installation was completed flawlessly, and the support during the permit inspection was outstanding, ensuring everything was in perfect order. Thanks to the entire team for making this a smooth and stress-free experience!
