This is a relatvely young company, with a very pleasant and knowledgeable owner. He explained everything he did. Please consider Sunrise Electric for your electrical needs.”
Dena N.Troubleshooting“All I can say about Ian and Adian Is the best electricians I ever known and very young they did all the estimates and fix everything that was on the list to get repaired, which was quite a bit which others have done so poorly on fixing my electricity that I praise these two were taking the time out in this hot, hot weather going on all three openings under the house up to the attic and under the other crawlspace to fix everything that needs to be repaired that was done by others very poorly and I'm happy to have these two to take the time out and checked everything thoroughly and without getting mad of going under knowing the temperatures was in the 90s I really praise them. They never got upset not arguing because it was a tough rough project and all I could say is I really will take those guys and have them as my electricians for life. OK excellent job guys I recommend them to everybody that needs help especially senior citizens like myself, which was very patience and everything like that thank you. Highly recommend them.👍🙏”

We were on a tight timeline to get the pond’s electrical up and running, and they responded immediately, which we truly appreciated. The quick turnaround and quality of work exceeded our expectations. After that great experience, we decided to upgrade the can lighting in our kitchen. They replaced the outdated fixtures with a newer style that looks fantastic and really modernized the space. The team was punctual, professional, and highly detail-oriented. They clearly explained the scope of work and kept the area clean throughout the project. The craftsmanship is evident not only in the improved appearance but also in the safety and reliability of the finished work.

I had two panels replaced, grounding and all my outlets replaced. The electricians Ian and Jimmy were amazing. They communicated great, keeping me updated through out the project. I work from home and they brought extra generators in order to keep my internet and work station up and running the whole time.

We are fortunate to have in Santa Cruz, such a competent and attentive electrical contractor; especially for this new business now in its third year! Techs: Ian is superb, and efficient and Jimmy was also quite the same. Brendan is great in explaining all the details, and setting things up through the office for ease a stressless and enjoyable experience. Without going into detail, one appointment was for a non urgent equipment install, the second for a more urgent matter. Both situations were handled with amazing care, expediency, and thoroughness.

It's nice to experience a down to earth, local company that is so stellar in terms of work, communication, fair pricing, and outstanding customer service! Wonderful!”

Tim M.SoquelTroubleshooting“Sunrise Electrical Contracting handled our list of electrical fixes and updates in an efficient and timely manner at a reasonable cost. Ian came out one day and gave us an estimate we were happy with. The scheduler sent us a date for the following week and then updated it to the next day due to a cancellation. Ian and his assistant Aiden arrived on time and completed the three tasks in a timely manner. Ian checked with us throughout the process to make suggestions that we preferred to our original thoughts and which look better than we hoped. We now have a local Company to handle all of our future electrical work.”

Rick A.Watsonville“We have had Sunrise come out to change all of our 20 y/o can lights to LED, and install other lighting. The owner and technicians are very communicative and professional. Their rates are very reasonable as well. It can often be difficult to find a contractor that will come out for small jobs, so it was appreciated. P.S. they also do more complex work, which we will have done at a later date with them.”

Charles R.Panel + EV charger“Sunrise put in an Charger for my E car. It was not an easy job as they had to crawl under the house in a very small crawlspace to do so. They were very friendly on time and did a great job. I would definitely recommend them.”
Jeff M.EV charger install“Branden and his crew at Sunrise Electrical did a substantial home electrification project for us, including a larger panel, addition of new 220V circuits for efficient appliances, and upgrading exising circuits and hardware. They did an outstanding job! The cost was less that I expected. Branden was quick to reply to communications, and scheduled our work much earlier than I thought would be possible. They specialize in work on existing homes, which is generally more difficult than new construction, and they do a fantastic job at it. Branden and the crew were eager to get our thoughts and feedback, and they were great to be around. It's hard to imagine a better electrical company to do renovations, upgrades or repairs for your home. - John”
John H.La Selva BeachHome electrification: panel + 220V circuits“Very professional. Fast response and high quality work. My thanks to Ian for the work and Branden for his quickresponse.”

They were able to fit me in. Tylor was professional and friendly and got the job done quickly. He called ahead of his arrival, was prompt, did the work, cleaned up, and made sure I was happy with the job before he left.

Lorie R.Watsonville“We recently used Sunrise Electrical Contracting to updrade electrical panels and change out receptical and switch devices in our rental property. Owner Branden was very personable, gave us a bid for work, explained and recommended the best options, coordinated scheduling with our tenants, and his crew completed the work in a high quality manner. Thier crew was extremely friendly in interactions with our tenants. Work was completed as promised. Excellent coordination and communication. We would highly recommend Branden and Sunrise Electrical for any electrical work. Branden operates a quality small business and it was nice to support our local contractor community.”
Barry L.Santa CruzPanel upgrade + device replacement (rental)“I have had Branden come out to my place on a couple of occasions to get quotes for electrical work. He was very helpful and thoughtful about what I wanted to do and why. On the second occasion I accepted the estimate and they came and did the job. I had a couple of days of work done by the team of Ian and Jimmy, who did a fantastic job. Everything happened as scheduled, was finished on the day it was expected, and works and looks great. I couldn't be happier.”
Kevin G.Santa Cruz“Thank you Brandon and the Sunrise electrical crew for the great job you did on my condo. Your kindness and sincere professionalism is appreciated and valued. Thank you Brandon for listening to my horrible experience and correcting a botched job from the previous contractor who took advantage of me. Sunrise Electrical workmanship turned out fantastic. The added outlets to the peninsula and quartz counter backsplash came out amazing. The updated sub panel was much needed the old panel was 50 years old. Adding dedicated circuits to the appliances were much needed to keep the kitchen running smoothly along with fixing a brand new garbage disposal that the previous contractor wired in improperly. The whole experience was smooth, efficient, very clean and very very professional. Thank you for making sure the electrical passed inspection with out any issues. You guys really know your stuff and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I would recommend Brandon and Sunrise Electrical over and over again to anyone looking for electrical work. This company isn't out to over charge and rates are very fair. They care about their customers. Thanks again I am a very happy customer. 😊”

BriannaPanel replacement + upgrade“I had a very nice PGE person (Ben -- please be nice to him, he still seems to deserve it, even if he cut off my power) knock on my door to let me know that my neighbor's redwood tree had dropped a branch that fell and pulled our power lines away from our juncture box. Branden and his crew (Tylor, Jimmy, and Aidan) fixed me up (replacing the entire box, and making sure the fix passed inspection) asap. AND, they also provided me with power sources so I could continue to work remotely, I didn't lose any perishable food, etc.). I felt 100% taken care of, and informed, throughout the process, and can't imagine being in better hands. Would 100% recommend this crew for whatever electrical issue you're dealing with.”

I've never seen such an orderly and prepared work van as theirs! They initially helped me deal with an emergency outlet fire (they do emergency services!), which led to my hiring them to rewire my old outlets as well as some additional updates and repairs in my 100+ year old house. They informed me in advance about what needed to get done and kept me posted during the process. They presented options to help me deal with my issues and concerns. Sunrise Electrical is easy to contact (Jessica schedules and is the primary contact person) and very responsive to questions and clarifications. They are my go-to business for my electrical needs and I tell my friends to contact them. Wonderful team.”
Flowergirl GardenerEmergency outlet fire + rewire“We've had an exceptional experience with Sunrise Electrical Contracting. In the middle of winter with a 5 week old baby - we found ourselves without power once again in the Santa cruz Mountains. We had already purchased a solar system but hadn't set it up. My husband called Sunrise Electrical Contracting and connected with Branden who came on an emergency call on short notice. He was able to set up our solar system in a few hours and took a lot of time to explain things to my husband who asks a lot of questions and give him advice on the system. Branden was professional and friendly, as well as extremely knowledgeable and friendly while he met at our home. He got us out of a bind and now we can keep our house warm. The rate was great and out of the companies we called, they were the most responsive. We definitely trust this company with our electrical needs moving forward and recommend them to anyone who needs work.”

Deven S.Fan install“Branden and Sunrise Electric did a whole house rewire and complete lighting upgrade for us after we bought a home with a very antiquated electrical system in fall 2022. Of the four bide sought, they were the lowest, but also included the most work; they handled all the city permitting, inspections, and PG&E coordination. When we asked how soon they could start, he said, "is next week alright?"! This all happened during the 2022/3 winter storms and they were great about working with us while doing plenty of emergency repair work around town…. Throughout the process Branden and crew were transparent, responsive, and very accommodating To our needs especially with regard to outlet placement, switches, and other wiring. They did a fantastic job of being surgical with their holes and drilling for wiring; thus minimizing wall damage so we did not have very much sheet rock to replace after they had done their rough work. Our home electrical system is bomb-proof and future-proof now, and our lighting inside is gorgeous. They were able to bring this 1950's house modern amenities without taking anything away from its charm. We would (and have!) recommend them to anyone for electrical work, large or small.”
Ryan G.Santa CruzWhole-house rewire + lighting upgrade“We just used Sunrise Electric to upgrade our old 100 amp panel to a new 200 amp one. Brandon showed up on time for both the estimate meeting and to do the actual work. Communication and workmanship was both great. He and his crew were friendly and worked hard to get the job done to code and in a timely manner. If I need any more electrical projects done in the future. He will be the first one that I call.”

Amy H.Scotts ValleyWater heater circuit repair“Brandon and his team were fantastic to work with! We had a lot of questions and a steep learning curve going into trying to understand our options for upgrading the wiring in our 50 year old home and Brandon was able to walk us through all of our options in a way that did not require us to have an electrical engineering degree (which was very much appreciated compared to the other electricians we spoke with!). We were kept in the loop while we waited for the permit from PG&E to be approved and when it came time to get the work down, the team was quick to get us into their schedule and they were able to get all of the work done quickly and smoothly! 10/10 Recommend!!”

We called Brandon at Sunrise Electric on New Years Day and he was willing to come out right then but we said the next morning would work. He communicated with me when he left and arrived. His level of professionalism was top notch. He was respectful, knowledgeable and calmly explained everything to me. When he was done there was not a trace from him! He was very thorough and took away all old parts and vacuumed where he had removed the heaters! He was an absolute pleasure to have in my home! I highly recommend Sunrise Electric for all of your residential electrical needs! Jacqueline Kain- Ben Lomond”
