Fantastic service

April 6, 2023 by Dennis

Dan Charles and charles electric are fantastic.We recently had heavy rains, and I wanted to connect my portable generator up to my sump pump. My generator would not work. I called Charles electric on Sunday and Dan answered the phone. Dan told me to bring the generator to his home on a Sunday and he had the generator repaired the following day. Thank God because we got a big storm that night. If Dan didn\u2019t fix my generator, the house was flooded. We really owe it to Charles electric. I would not hesitate one moment to call Charles electric for your back up. Power needs, Dennis.

Dan and his team installed a GENERAC standby generator . They did an outstanding job and taught me how to use it. He is a professional in every way that you can trust to follow through on a successful project.

Call for service

December 4, 2022 by Mimi

We have a 15-year-old generator in. Charles Electric showed up and was able to not only pinpoint the problem, but they actually have the parts on their van.. Dan said they like to work on all kinds of generators not just Generacc and I will definitely let my Neighbors know appear on the mountain where to get their generator serviced. Thanks again down and have a great holiday. You guys rock.. Mimi

Holiday love

Thank you to Charles electric. They showed up right before Thanksgiving and since we haven\u2019t had our generator and serviced over four years, they were a lot of things that needed attention. Dan had all the parts on his van to get us running again and now I see why we need to do our yearly service or every 200 hours.. thanks guys

Thank good for Charles Electric

July 2, 2022 by Michael

agree with all the positive Yelp reviews on DanCharles! My one-year old Honeywell (Generac)generator was working fine, but the transfer switchwas not. I contacted a few electricians prior tofinding out about Dan Charles and none werequalified to work on it. I finally contacted Generacand Charles Electric was one of the authorizedtechnicians they recommended. Despite his busyschedule, Dan fit me in and couldn't have beennicer, more communicative or more qualified towork on my system. Dan and his assistant Jamisonshowed up a couple of days after I contacted him,as promised, serviced my generator and figured outmy switch problem. Not only did he diagnose theproblem but he had the specific circuit board Ineeded with him in his truck. All in all the servicecall was a complete pleasure and everything isworking again - thanks

Too much oil!

July 1, 2022 by Laura

We Called Charles electric our local Generac dealer only to find out person that was servicing our generator before Dan and his team overfill the oil and it almost caused the engine to meltdown. Dan showed us there was oil that in the air filter box.not good! Dan really drove home the point that you never overfill your generator and if anything he says he\u2019d rather have you put no oil in than too much. Our generator is working properly now and thank God the fire season is here and it\u2019s hot and dry where we live.can\u2019t live with out Genny. Call Charles Electric for all your generator needs Dan responded on a Friday afternoon going into a holiday weekend. Thanks again guys.

Mobil link

June 30, 2022 by Bill

Dan came highly recommended and Install my Mobile Link Wi-Fi and minutes. In the process he diagnose they needed a new battery and was very knowledgeable and showing me everything from the generator to the Transfer Switch how everything should work. I high recommend Charles electric for your Generoc service repairs. Bill

Fire season savior

June 25, 2022 by Burton

Hello: As we all know here in California utility power is always being turned off for many reasons. We got sick and tired of not being able to rely on our PG&E. now that were teaching our kids at home because pandemic and working at home there\u2019s never been more of a crucial for redundant consistent backup power. We are also referred to Charles Electric from Our Neighbor oh had a whole back up system installed and couldn\u2019t be happier especially now since the power\u2018s going out every day in the summer heat. Call Dan Charles with electric he\u2019s honest amd knowledgeable and has generators in stock. Thank you. Burt with back up power!

Saved our bacon

June 11, 2022 by Ann

My name is Ann. Dan recently serviced our older liquid cooled generator and where most people wanted us to just buy a new generator Dan was able to fix what was broken and that\u2019s what we did. The money we saved from not buying a new generator we were able to actually take a family vacation. Thank you Dan, without your honesty and knowledge I don\u2019t know what we would\u2019ve done: we highly recommend Dan and his team for service and repairs for all your generator needs. Ann A.

Thank god for Dan

January 25, 2022 by Duane

Thank God for dan. We have new liquid cooled unit installed from somebody other than Charles Electric. it never really worked right. Dan came down right away and when I found out he was a local Generac technician right in my backyard I couldn\u2019t believe it, we\u2019ve been looking for years for somebody. Dan and Matt then showed up eagerly and excited to help us understand what we had. After an hour Dan made us understand how are Generator should work and why we were having me issues we were having. We would definitely recommend Charles Electric for any generator repairs. And did I mention he\u2019s local! Duane.

Local Generac service Dealer thank God.

December 30, 2021 by Tim

When I got my generator installed the installer just handed it to us and said good luck. What I didn\u2019t know was I needed a working relationship with a service provider so that if something went wrong or just when the generator needed yearly service Dan and his team from Charles Electric were there. Nobody told us our generator needed yearly service. Dan one and his team showed up and educated us our confidence went way up in our back up generator system. Now I understand what\u2019s happening and how to verify that the generator is ready to go. Dan signed us up on Mobile Link so now were electronically tethered to the generator so we don\u2019t have to walk down to the backyard or it\u2019s very difficult for us to get to. Charles Electric is one of the only Generac dealer and certified technicians in the bay area and give Dan a call. Thank God for a local generac technician.

Son in law

December 4, 2021 by Lucky

When Dan showed up we were desperate. We had a generator installed two years previously and the person who installed it never even told us that had oil or a battery in it. Dan educated us not only on the generator but he showed us how the transfer switch works individually what to look for so you know the status of your generator whether it\u2019s on utility or back up. I personally feel having a teammate like Dan show up once a year is just what is needed to maintain this investment. We were going to try to do with the service ourselves and then we were told that Nolan voids the seven year warranty. We don\u2019t have to worry anymore Dans the man. Thank you Charles electric our local generac support team.

Love my Generac

November 17, 2021 by Judy

When it came time to have preventive maintenance done on my Generac, I called the installer and they recommended Charles Electric for maintenance and service. Dan is great! He had me watch as he cleaned everything and at the same time, he explained the operation of the generator and electrical panel. He provided troubleshooting tips and had me try some of them myself. He told me what to watch out for and gave me a set of keys for the housing, something the installers neglected to do. I recommend Dan without hesitation. He is a great teacher as well as a diligent service provider.

Extremely pleased and confident.

November 11, 2021 by Clive

We just had our 18 KW GeneracGenerator installed today by CharlesElectric, and we couldn't be morepleased with the professionalism andquality of work performed.
