Local, Licensed, Available When You Need Us

First Choice Electricians serves South San Jose and the surrounding Santa Clara County area from a base on Monterey Rd. We handle the full range of residential electrical: panel upgrades, EV charger installs, lighting, outlets, troubleshooting, and 24-hour emergency work.

Our customers tell us the same thing in their reviews: we show up on time, explain what we are doing in plain English, and leave the job site cleaner than we found it. We are not the biggest shop in San Jose, and that is the point. You get the same electrician on the call, the estimate, and the install.

Our process: phone consultation, on-site assessment, written estimate, scheduled install, inspection support if needed.

Yes. We carry general liability and workers compensation, and we pull permits whenever the job requires one. Ask for our license number and we will share it before any work starts.

Do you offer free estimates?

Can you handle electrical emergencies?

Do you pull permits?

For panel upgrades, new circuits, EV charger installs, and any work that requires inspection, we pull the permit and handle the city scheduling. You do not deal with the paperwork.
