We've had a number of large jobs done by Five Or Free, but this was a small one - our kitchen light fixture didn't survive the storms, and when we went to replace it there was no electrical box in the ceiling (the old fixture was screwed into the lath). Tim came out the next morning, and in very short order put in a box, installed the new light fixture, cleaned everything up (he even patched the holes from the previous light fixture), and adjusted the light to our preference. There is nothing I can think of that he could have improved, I wish all contractors were this on top of things.

Response from the owner

We're delighted to hear that Tim was able to efficiently address the issue with your kitchen light fixture and exceed your expectations. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we appreciate your continued trust in our services. If you ever have more projects or questions in the future, feel free to reach out. We're here to help! Best regards, FIVE OR FREE ELECTRICAL TEAM!

We had our electricity turned off unexpectedly by PG&E a few days ago because we had a hazardous wiring situation. I called Five or Free Electrical, and they arrived within about an hour to assess the situation. That was already amazing as I had called several other companies who said they couldn't come right away. They then returned early the next day to remove and change our service panel/fuse box to a 200A modern version. They updated the wiring, the riser, and ground rod, and other things, all in one rainy day. And they were very responsive and pro-active to getting the city permit person there on the same day. They called PG&E incessantly throughout the night and morning, and we got our electricity turned back on the following morning by PG&E. I'd say the best characteristic is they seem to really care all the time that the customer is satisfied and fully understands the process which is happening. They also have a long warranty period of 7 years for parts and 17 years for service!

Eric Densmore was great to us. He was very thorough and explained what was going on with my electrical by showing me pictures of what I had vs how it was supposed to look. We had other technicians come out previously and sold us a lot of fear with a high price tag. He showed us what was wrong with our panels and how it would be fixed at a fair price, our next question was how soon can we do this? Working with Eric made it easy to set up quickly and it's like a huge weight has been lifted! Thank you for taking good care of us!

Five or Free’s interactions with me have all been outstanding. They scheduled me quickly, and were very prompt in arriving. Tim was simply terrific: an expert electrician, as well as extremely nice. He answered all my questions, and went out of his way to charge me very reasonably. Just an ideal experience. I’ll definitely be calling Five or Free again, and you should, too!

Carlos Thomas Jerry and Chris had been working on my house for about 3-4weeks and these guy’s were honestly awesome. They were consistent considerate polite and very professional. These guys worked long days in the cold in the rain to make sure we got what we needed. They made sure to clean up after themselves. The way they fixed everything up the outcome of there work we are very much satisfied and will definitely always go with this company in the future again! Thank you so much!

5.0 Cathy Belle November 2023 via Google
This was a large residential job that took about 2 weeks. The work was well done and they were respectful of us and of the property. I was particularly impressed by Evan Ruenz, who supervised. He was knowledgeable and helpful (and treated his crew well). They accidentally broke a sconce and Evan found an attractive replacement immediately. When the job was finished, it was cleaner than when they started. Renovations never go exactly according to plan. It's how a company responds to those situations that tell you whether they are truly customer service oriented. Five or Free is the real deal.

Response from the owner

Catherine! In this cold weather it warms our hearts to have read your review of your experience us! We take immense pride in our craftsmanship and professionalism and are committed to maintaining a high standard of workmanship while respecting both our clients and their properties. We will pass along your kind feedback to Evan. We do appreciate your patience and grace regarding that incident with the light and are glad you like the replacement fixture for the one we broke. Addressing such situations promptly and effectively is crucial to us.. mistakes happen but it's how we respond to those mistakes that matters most. Thank you again for trusting us with your homes electrical needs and for recognizing our commitment to excellence. If there's anything more we can do for you in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃, Your Electrical Team @ 5 or Free
