I called Jeff on a Sunday evening because we had a bathroom fan with sparks and soot coming out. We were concerned about safety, but it was difficult to find someone on short notice who would be able to come out on a Sunday. Jeff answered his phone right away, was extremely helpful, and offered to come take a look at that evening. He fixed the problem and also took a look around and made some suggestions about improving safety in some of the other places in our house (installing GFIs, fixing loose breakers). We hired him for the second job as well, and everything was completed quickly and well. Overall, it was a great experience working with Jeff. He is personable, skilled, explains everything well, and gives a fair price. I highly recommend him!

Jeff could have come out and charged us to fix a simple problem but instead he talked me through how to do it myself. We appreciate it!

I called Jeff this Sunday afternoon with a partial power outage (heat & most of our major appliances) that appeared to be caused by our breaker panel, gathered in talking with another electrician. Jeff said that it sounded more like a PG&E issue than one internal to our house. I took his advice and got PG&E to come over and the technician spotted loose wires at the utility pole as the cause… Jeff’s expertise saved my family hundreds of dollars in unneeded expenses. Thank you so much, Jeff. I’ll think of calling you when we have an electrical problem that’s not PG&E related.

Jeff was super helpful we called to get some advice on what to do when we had an outlet that wouldn’t work he explained everything that we needed to do. He even had us call back to check up with him to make sure that we had everything working and if we had any more questions. Jeff is very knowledgeable and very kind. We will definitely call Jeff in the future if we have any more electrical problems.

I am a renter with an evil landlord who wants to run the place into the ground to get me out and avoid rent control. It was 1130PM and my power was out because the landlord was screwing around. Jeff was the only electrician that answered his phone and put me at ease, even offering to schedule me a time and help troubleshoot over the phone. Great people, will call again!

Working with Jeff was a pleasure. We needed to install a phone line to a recently renovated apartment in a mix commercial/​residential building with a big mess of existing lines. He was polite and sharp on the phone, came right out to have look at what he was getting into before giving a quote.
The job took a bit longer than he initially estimated which was unfortunate but he was knowledgeable and methodical, taking time to test the line at various stages to make sure there would be no bad surprises at the end requiring much more work.
Overall I would certainly use him again, enjoyed the conversations that we had during his work and everything got done in a nice timely fashion.

What could be worse than an electrical fire in the wall of your apartment? Having it happen on a Sunday between Christmas and New Year’s. The firefighters came out and shut down all the electrical circuits in my place, which meant I had to start calling around to electricians to get the thing fixed. Anyway, I finally got hold of someone, and he actually said he would come out that very afternoon — which he did. Three hours later he had fixed the problem. The guy’s name is Jeff Bloomfield, owner of Eclectic Electric in Berkeley. If you need a good electrician, I heartily recommend him.

Jeff was nice and attentive to us in the beginning (be careful!). In the end, we realized he was just a bait-​and-​switch, wanted to charge us double or triple of a normal electrician would charge for the job. He left us in a very bad situation. We were very upset and disappointed. Dont recommend him at all.

Jeff has helped our clients on numerous occasions. He is a consummate professional and has exceeded our expectations time and time again. He is punctual, thorough, and fair. I would recommend Jeff to all my Bay Area clients.

To summarize:
Fast service
Reliable
Knowledgeable
Very reasonable rate
I called Jeff about a failed breaker (a result of water getting in my electrical panel) which is a simple fix, but I do not deal with electrical problems as I enjoy living. Jeff was able to fit me in the very next day. He also helped me identify the leak coming into my panel. It turned out that PG&E did not install a meter seal when they installed my smart meter, so water was getting behind the meter and running down the pipe into my electrical panel. I would need to call PG&E to come fix this. Not more than 15 minutes after Jeff left, he called me to tell me that he had contacted PG&E, informed them of the problem, and they would be coming to fix it later that day. That is going the extra mile. Great service at a reasonable rate. I’ll be calling Jeff for any future electrical problems.

I called at 3pm on New Year’s Eve because of a humming in the wires I’d been hearing in the walls since 6 am. Jeff called back twenty minutes later, and six minutes after that, he was at my house inspecting the electrical circuits. He worked pro bono, saying that he had been «in the area.» He was also kind to my cat!
I will definitely be calling Jeff if the wiring acts up again.

Jeff worked with me from start to finish on the electrical part of remodeling our kitchen. He’s very knowledgeable, and he had great advice about how to reroute power from one part of the house to the kitchen. He installed our main service panel, then installed a subpanel for our kitchen, then wired up the entire kitchen and laundry room. He works hard, and was available by phone frequently. He saw us through a successful electrical inspection (by the city of Berkeley), and I would definitely recommend Eclectic Electric.
His bid price was very competitive, and I had quite a few bids before hiring him.

I called on a Sunday afternoon and within two rings, Jeff answered. By Monday afternoon we had power. By Tuesday he had visited the house twice, replaced a faulty switch on my old FPE panel, repaired the loose, original (1928) fridge receptacle, and replaced the faulty GFI in the kitchen for under $ 300.
Call Eclectic Electric if you want:
1. Fast service — yes
2. Quality work — yes
3. Genuine know-​how — yes
4. Fair prices — yes
Jeff’s service and honesty are exceptional. He knew I was in a bind and needed urgent help. He made arrangements to get the power on by Monday night and all the details in top shape by Tuesday for a song. I can’t express my gratitude. Thank you, Jeff. I can’t recommend Eclectic Electric enough.

Jeff provided outstanding service. He’s forthright, not pushy in the least, and easy to contact. He replaced and made improvements to my outdoor outlet that was dysfunctional (and also fixed my garage door, gratis). He was efficient, very reasonably priced, and a pleasure to deal with. I intend to continue to use him again in the near future, and most importantly, I’m delighted to know someone I can trust for all my electrical work.

Called this guy because of his Unilocal reviews — very simple telephone wiring job — took 3 weeks to turn up to do the estimate (kinda high) and then wanted to change the appointment yet again — enough was enough.
He is not in Berkeley as his listing states.
I also agree with the other reviewer that stated «weirded me out with some of his questions».
I wouldn’t recommend this guy.

Jeff did a great job for us on short notice. We needed an entire breaker box replaced. When Jeff saw that several breakers had burnt out through arcing, he cleared his schedule and got the job done that day. He came in with a price reasonably close to what PG&E had predicted would be needed after they checked the electrical problems for us the previous evening.
He was easy to work with, continued after dark until the job was done, and everything has worked smoothly. Problem solved!

His quote came in 80% HIGHER than the 2nd quote I received, not kidding.
Did not receive my business, also weirded me out with some of his questions he asked me. Eclectic, sure got that covered, competitive prices, not even close.
The job was completed today by the other company who were fantastic.

I would highly recommend Jeffrey– he was speedy, professional and a great communicator.
I randomly called him after looking on line for an electrician called 2 places and he was $ 50 less than the competitor.
We had to have PG&E come to the house and he handled all the calls for me.
Great job Jeffrey and I will defiantly call again for my electrical needs!

I’d like to recommend Jeff Bloomfield of Eclectic Electric. I am a licensed plumbing, heating and air conditioning contractor (Marc Brenner of Marc Brenner Co. est. 1974) who has employed his
services for many years for both consulting and for installations on my jobs.
When I have found electrical problems in client’s homes or when a client needs an electrician, I do not hesitate to recommend Jeff to my clients. He is prompt, thorough, and has excellent problem analysis skills. He is also personable and clear in his communication with clients.
I call him for anything electrical: repair, remodel, telephone and network wiring.
