A 24 Electric

One day recently around 9 PM, I had the main breaker shut off at my house due to some electrical short, and it would not flip back on (it was stuck in the off position). I had no electricity at all, and plenty of work I needed to complete over the next couple of days. I called 11 electricians that night, hoping someone might have a 24-hour service and could charge me to come out and fix it. Only one person answered: Eddie from A 24 Electric. Not only did he answer, but he talked me through the process to reset my stuck breaker, spending 30 minutes on the phone with me, patiently, and talking me through this whole situation. The most incredible part of this call was that he was on vacation overseas, eating breakfast in another country, when he answered. When I found out he was on the call I tried to apologize and excuse myself but he really wanted to help me fix the problem before I hung up.

By the end of the call, my power was restored and he did not ask for a dollar for his time. Few companies would ever provide this level of service, even for a fee. The fact that he was so helpful, after hours, and on his VACATION no less, speaks volumes about his character and business. I will always recommend this company in the future due to this level of service. Thank you again for the help!

I asked Eddie for a quote to wire a kitchen. He let me it would cost somewhere between $15-25K. I put Eddie in the expensive category when it comes to electricians. I don't like to spend money I don't have to, so I'm going with someone else.

That said, he is very polite. I do believe his work is solid. You often get what you pay for. Quality work can come at a very steep premium in SF.

Wow, is Eddie a nice person.  Our refrigerator stopped working over Memorial Day Weekend right before a big event at our house.  Eddie walked us through how to reset a tricky set of fuses over the phone saving us hundreds of dollars.  Thank you, Eddie!!

This electrician is EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. He charged $1,800 for a 1 hour and half service for installing the new light fixtures that I bought on my own.  I feel completely ripped off. I DO NOT recommend this electrician.

Eddie is fantastic!

A long winded, short story.

I searched google for doorbell repair, called and Eddie answered.

kept searching, different number, Eddie answered again. yikes! He knows I am shopping around.

I sent a photo, he told me his price, I questioned, he told me he would be  be out and  fix it.and he was true to his word.

At first, I thought this guy is either arrogant or confident! I went with confident.

I sent photos, we went with a window, he called the day of to let me know he was early, we started and hour early and done before the window started.

Eddie is meticulous, as his card says, clean shaven,  respectful, well dressed,  has a few good stories, beyond efficient as he has what he needs to complete the job.

Do not have a doubt about this master, he is quick, knows his craft and this is a review about a door bell!

I would hire Eddie for any electrical need.

Much appreciation, Eddie!

Eddie is very reliable, professional yet very friendly. I called him to inquire if he can help me with the repair of the wiring of my intercom. He responded promptly and before I know it he was at my apartment assessing the issue, offering me options and pricing. I called him on Thursday and he finished the work on Saturday. I am happy and grateful that my Intercom is working again! Thanks to Eddie!

We had our kitchen counter outlets replaced and rewired by A24 after new countertop installation. We were very happy with the speed and quality of work. It's really good to know those outlets are grounded and it looks great. Sorry I took a while to review, I thought I had published but it was only in drafts

Eddie was so responsive when we had an early morning, weekend emergency! He helped us fix the problem over the phone and with a sense of humor which was so appreciated! I would recommend Eddie for anyone needing fast help and I will definitely be calling him again in the event of any electrical problem in need of fixing! Thank you, Eddie!

Had a electric switch in garage that was audibly making a sizzling noise when turning on or off so i quickly went to yelp and looked for an electrician and luckily found Eddie/A 24 Electric!
I explained the problem to Eddie and sent a picture of the switch that needed replacement. He stated that he could be there between 4-5 pm which was fine with me but awhile later i got a call from Eddie stating that he could be there by 2 pm! He promptly arrived 15 min early and quickly went about replacing the switch quickly and efficiently.
I will be calling A 24 Electric back for some other work that i have been waiting on til i found a reliable and experienced electrician.

Multiple lighting issues resolved within one hour including the installation of two new fixtures!

Eddy with A24 Electric is excellent! He was willing to fit our jobs in and acame over promptly and took care of business.  If we could do a bonus sixth star we would for his awesome advice and recommendations on piano instructors for our son!

Would definitely call him again for any electric projects that go beyond changing a light bulb in our house.

We realized the refrigerator in the garage was not working and tried to troubleshoot it. We have a lot of extra food in the freezer so needed to move fast. It turned out the outlet was dead so we tried to reset it and flipped the breaker. Nothing worked so we called Eddie who requested a photo of the main panel. He called me back a little while later and walked me through a series of steps and voilà, the light turned green and the refrigerator started humming again! All of this free of charge! It's really nice to know that there are still good people out there that will try to help out of the kindness of their heart. Eddie seemed like a genuinely nice guy and we are so appreciative. We absolutely will call them first for any electrical needs!

I wish I had read more reviews before hiring Eddie. Unfortunately I didn't get to the ones about him overcharging.  I hired him to provide and replace 2 outside motion sensor lights, repair an outdoor junction box and replace a dimmer switch in one of the bedrooms. All simple stuff. He was there for 1 hour and 45 minutes and charged $1680. That includes $95 dollars for a dimmer switch and $45 for an LED lightbulb. He didn't list the price of the the outside lights on the invoice but assuming they were $80 each that is $1360 for labor - or about $700 an hour. He charged $295 to show up (and $65 for travel) and then $295 for each thing he did, no matter how small eg  replace a dimmer switch.

I was so stunned I paid him, but then I began to feel very ripped off.  I texted him and told him that and he called. He reduced the price to $1000 and said he would send me a check. The check never arrived. I texted him again. This time he sent me the $680 via Venmo. I still ended up paying $1000 for a job that should have cost far less. It also caused me a lot of unnecessary stress. Not recommended.

Our wired smoke alarms - started going off at 8 pm, despite having the right batteries and a ladder to get to them all (vaulted ceiling) nothing worked. Eddie walked me through safety steps remotely to turn off power and remove them to stop the beeping. Outstanding service and advice, and saved me and my spouses sanity.   Exceptional service, and caring!

Can't say enough good things about Eddie! :) He was prompt, calm (which was good because I was in a panic), and solved our issue in under an hour. More than that, he clearly explained the problem to me, was upfront about the cost, and walked me through every step to make sure I understood what was he was doing. Will absolutely call him again with any other electrical issue. Thank you so much, Eddie!!

He was able to resolve the issue. However, he  will add costs wherever he can such as a $40 processing fee. for using a credit card.

I just saw the response to my above comment. The concerns are much greater than I previously  expressed.

Helped me out tremendously, early on a Sunday morning. Based on my description, my new friend at A 24 Electric determined the only thing wrong was a tripped circuit breaker, and helped me sort it out over the phone. We'll definitely be calling A 24 the next time anything goes wrong. Thanks!

5 stars for A1. Eddie solved my problem with a surprise dimming sconce in no time flat. I'll be calling him next time I have an issue.

I had a very good experience with them. He's responsive, did the work promptly, and answered my follow-up questions.

If there was a 20 start review, I'd give it to Eddie and his business. Electricity went haywire at my house. Anything with a motor stopped working. The washer turned on and all power in the living room went off, plus I smelled burnt wire. It was scary.

I had one electrician come out, nice guy, but it was clear he wasn't sure what the problem was. So he just suggested changing a bunch of stuff and gave me a pretty high estimate.

I contacted four others, NO ONE answered their phone, and as I write this NONE has yet responded to my call.

Then I found Eddie here on Yelp and called because of the reviews.

Oh, my God! Answered the phone. Inside of 5 minutes - over the phone - Eddie diagnosed the problem! Within two hours, the issue was fixed.

(btw, none of the things the first electrician was going to do would have resolved the issue)

On top of all that, Eddie is not a money grabber. He is more than fair, he is kind.

Thank you Eddie. Never calling another electrician again.

Eddie is awesome. My go-to electrician. He was able to quickly diagnose and fix my issue, saving me some money!

Eddie is amazing, he gets top marks. I had some temporary power setup on my construction site, and it kept shorting. Eddie walked me through the issue over the phone, saving me a site visit. Sometimes these issues are pretty simple, I just needed thicker gauge extension cords on-site. But electrical issues can be scary for those of us who don't know the ins and outs. Eddie alleviated all of my concerns, talked me through the setup for about 10 minutes, and I haven't had any issues since. Thanks Eddie!

Eddie did an excellent job on my home. Eddie got all the permits taken care of and knew what the inspector would be looking for. A 24 Electric did a big job at my house and completed it in a timely manner, trustworthy fair and fast with service! Would highly recommend to anyone requiring a skilled electrician.

When our power went out on a Sunday night, Eddie was quick to answer our call and offer to help us free of charge over the phone. Thankfully the issue we had was simple enough for him to diagnose and give clear instructions to fix. He was also forthcoming about the cost of the alternative (an emergency in home visit which will have cost quite a lot).

I'll be using their service again if needed.

Eddie is amazing, this guy knows exactly what he's talking about and is very honest and straightforward. He is very personable and gave honest estimates. Even if it's a small jobs he was able to share and help over the phone. I would highly recommend him as he is certified and knows exactly how to diagnose and fix any issues. He's always very reachable and never fails in communication!

The pluses.  Eddie came out on a weeknight with almost no notice.  He was very helpful, and did a great job.  He fixed an electrical malfunction that could have been serious.  He was such a nice guy and I greatly appreciate his promptness and his skill.

The minuses.  Expensive is an understatement.  Just to make a house call in the evening was over $600!  On top of that, there was a travel charge.  Ironically, the cost of doing the work was less than the house call and travel costs.  I was over the proverbial eight ball and had no choice but to have an electrician come out - but wow, the cost of having him come out on a rush was shocking.  

The conclusion.  Eddie is great if you need good service, at any hour, and are prepared to pay a huge amount for the service.

Eddie was truly fantastic. I blew a fuse and thought we needed someone to come out and fix it. But he was so kind and walked me through everything on the phone and fixed the issue. He was very patient and kind and I am so grateful.

I'm so appreciative of Eddie, who immediately answered my panicked phone call to him  today after I shorted some circuit in my house. Eddie was calm and patient with me and, on the phone, helped  me figure out what was wrong and how to reset the circuit breakers  and fix the problem. He looked at photos of my breaker panel and walked me through the process of resetting it, and problem solved AND for this he charged me nothing!!!!  I'm so grateful and highly recommend Eddie for your electrician needs. He's a kind soul and I will use him for any other electrician needs I have. Susan

Eddy goes above and beyond his work. He has so much pride in completing the job in a proper manner. I am thankful he was able to resolve the electrical issue I was encountering. Eddy always answered my calls and responded to my texts. He showed up on time during his visit. Not only is he a knowledgeable electrician, he is just a down-to-earth person to have a conversation with. I would highly recommend A24 Electric for any electrical issue.

Wow! Eddie is truly a master of his craft, not to mention extremely down to earth, patient, and intelligent. Because of his careful explanations, attention to detail, and patience to fix what seemed like a never- ending mix of problems, He was able to resolve the situation quickly, safely and effectively.. even taking the time to share with us important basics in electricity! Not to mention, my problem resulted in needing PG&E and Eddie not only spoke to them on the phone several times, but waited with me for them to show up and explain the situation. I couldn't have gotten thru all of that without him! If you are in a jam, fear not as he knows how to save the day!

Thanks again Eddie!!

Responded so quickly with helpful and clear follow up questions and solutions. Very knowledgeable and personable, super easy and efficient to work with. Really appreciated his service!

Eddie helped us with a problem over the phone on a Saturday morning! Awesome service. Highly recommended.

Eddie helped diagnose and fix an issue with the garbage disposal over the phone, intentionally saving an expensive house visit for what would have been a trivial problem. Eddie was super responsive and patient while walking through steps to address, and we got everything working again in 10-15 min.

A 24 will be my first call for electrical issues in the future.

10 stars out of 5. I made the big mistake of plugging my hair dryer and space heater into the same outlet Friday morning. I normally know better than that, but must have been half asleep. I still had electricity in the bathroom,  but now power to the outlet. I went to the garage to re-set the breakers but it still didn't work. I called A-24 because they are in the neighborhood and received great reviews, all which are 100% on the mark. Eddie answered promptly and helped me over the phone at no charge, and my outlet was working again. I will definitely call A-24 should I ever need service in the future, and highly recommend. Thank you, Eddie!

We blew out our kitchen power this morning and I wasn't able to figure out how to fix it. Eddie was super friendly over the phone and fully helped me fix it myself--for free. We'll definitely use A24 again!

Had an electrical problem after moving in. Due to the holiday weekend my own management company dragged its feet getting someone out for us. We have a young toddler and a fridge out of commission is certainly more stress on top of stress.

Called Eddie. He walked us through what ended up being a simple problem free of charge. Super patient and courteous on the phone. On top of that unless the issue needed him to physically come over (it did not), he did it free of charge!

Though I hope to not call him in the future, I definitely will be calling if other problems arise!

We had a short circuit on a Friday night that meant no bedroom, hallway, bath lights or power and no power to the washer and dryer - a big deal with two small ones in the house. Eddie came the next day and resolved the issue, patiently walking me through his diagnosis. I called Eddie because other electricians I looked at on Yelp were closed for the weekend. Everything was restored in short order. Would recommend very highly.

I needed to get an electrician to install 220V plugs for Level 2 EV chargers.  I called A 24 Electric and got Eddie on the phone right away.  He listened to the description of my job and asked me to take some photos of the area to get a better idea of the particulars.  Once he received the photos he texted me right back and said he needed to come out to check things out to see how the job might go.  (Turns out I sent images of the wrong breaker boxes so he had some more questions.)

He came out the next morning and spent a few minutes checking things out with me and gave me an on the spot estimate for the job.  The next morning he came out and did the install.  He did a great job and creatively worked around some structural obstacles to make the install as unobtrusive as possible.  It looks great.

The whole job was done in a few hours.  It is clear that Eddie is fast because he is experienced and knowledgeable.  His communication is impeccable, he follows through on what he promises and I couldn't be happier with his work.  And I can't believe the job was done a day after my initial phone inquiry.  Plus he is a super nice guy.

To me, this kind of professionalism, reliability, speed, creative problem solving, competence and follow through are worth paying a premium rate.  I'd hire him again in a heartbeat and can't recommend him highly enough.

Eddy is a literal godsend! While other places cost $200 just to send an electrician out on an urgent basis, Eddy walked me through the relatively simple problem with my fuse box- for free! Now the lights are back on and I kept my 200 bucks. I'm definitely saving his number in my phone for excellent and clear instruction next time I'm in an electrical pickle. Thanks Eddy

Exemplary service! Eddie is the top in his field and his work is exceptional! I had peace of mind hiring Eddie to inspect a series of old transformers that run my recess lighting. He even taught me how transformers work and what to look for. Recently, he fixed a few of my malfunctioning exterior electrical outlets. He installed new wiring, outlets and conduits. Eddie is a master at diagnosing complex electrical issues. Always patient answering all my questions while explaining work he completed. You will be happy you hired Eddie for your electrical needs. He's the best!!!

Writing on behalf of my husband. We had an electrical problem at our really old apartment. We are now in search for a new place but it's clear wee need our current place to be ehh useful. :) And we decided to hire A 24 Electric Co. We called Eddie and described the problem. He assured us everything will be fine and that the staff will be as soon as possible. And they did everything great. Can't say good words enough! Thank you so much, guys! You did our day!

Early evening I was having an electrical issue in my kitchen and didn't want my fully stocked fridge sitting overnight without power.
So thankfully Yelp lead me to Eddie @ A 24 Electric. From the initial phone call which he promptly responded back, gave me precise instructions, walked me through, and had the problem resolved within minutes.
The service Eddie provided was above and beyond outstanding and I can't express my gratitude enough.  You deserve a million 's
Thanks again and highly recommend you to all!

My power went out in my kitchen late in a sunday night and I couldnt seem to resolve the issue in my own. I called Eddie and he asked me a couple questions and offered free help over the phone. He walked me through the issue with ease and was able to help me get my power back running and saved me from having to pay a ton or all my food in fridge going bad. I would definitely  recommend  this company and Eddie if you need any help with any electrical issues. Thank you eddie!

A+++ electrical service - had an emergency of my own making. Called A24 at an odd hour - Eddie picked up immediately and helped me to diagnosis my problem and how to restore electricity overnight on my own before coming over first thing the next morning for an extremely-efficient and quick service. Would highly recommend.

Eddie answered the phone at 8 am on a Saturday and solved our urgent electrical problem without even having to come out or charging us anything.  We learned something new about our circuit breaker in the process!  Looking forward to working with him for future electrical needs.

Eddie really know his stuff.  As many others have noted, he is a fantastic diagnostician, he's a kind of Sherlock Holmes of electrical problems.  It has to be said that he is extraordinarily expensive, more per hour than a pretty good lawyer.  But I can't ding him for that because he doesn't hide it (and anyway, why should a lawyer be more expensive than an electrician?).  He tells you up front that he is expensive; your choice. You want to go cheaper, go cheaper. Your risk

I was dumb and turned my breakers off. When I tried to turn it back on, the power wouldn't turn. I called A24 and he saved the day. I saved money on an electrician and he helped no charge. Thanks Eddie!

Eddie is a LIFESAVER.

8:00 PM, Sunday night, I play fast and loose and run microwave and toaster oven at the same time. BAM...there goes the fuse, Tried resetting the breakers. Still nothing. Now it's panic time!

A called Eddie at A-24. He answered immediately, said to go to breaker box, and he would walk me through what to do. I did as he said and he did walk me through it and now everything's on again!!! Evening saved from disaster.

Not only was he super helpful, but he was super friendly and has a great sense of humor. I can't recommend this company more highly. If I could give 10 stars I would.

Eddie is very responsive, kind, experienced and thorough, but quite expensive.

Several nights ago, as I was just sitting down for dinner, one of my tenants called, frantically reporting that all the power was off in his San Francisco flat.  I first called my real estate partner, who went to the building and determined that all the circuit breakers were in the correct position.  So we decided there must have been a failure in the main circuit breaker.  
  After a quick internet search, I found A24 Electric, and Eddie immediately answered.  His first question was, Is the power out in the entire apartment?  When I said yes, he told me that one out of every three calls he gets for power completely out is because the tenant has failed to pay the bill and PG&E turned the power off.
  I have responsible tenants, so couldn't imagine that they had not paid the bill.  So Eddie said if that was the case, I should text him the address and he would be there in a few minutes.  But of course he would have to charge me if the power was simply turned off for non-payment of the bill.  
  As I was about to text the information, I had second thoughts and called the tenant again.  Sure enough, the roommate who was responsible for paying the bill had been in Europe, and just blew off the bill for how long (?) until the power was finally turned off.
  The episode ended with a call by the tenant to PG&E, with credit card in hand, and the power was immediately turned back on.  Even better, Eddie's quick thinking saved me the cost of a night time service call.
 I have a regular electrician I use, but will certainly look to A24 Electric in future.

Life saver!! Called to ask for an appointment and Eddie solved the issue over the phone in two minutes with no charge. Awesome and so appreciated!

Had one breaker trip and called A 24 Electric Co immediately. Eddie was very quick to answer my call. I sent pictures of the electrical panel via text, then he gave a call to give clear instructions on how to fix it - now I have power again and I did not spend a single penny. Much appreciation for you, Eddie! Thanks a bunch.

Eddie, thank you!

Our power was completely off.
I initially called my landlord who told me we would have to wait until tomorrow morning. I googled electrician in SF and found A24 Electric Co. I called Eddie and he made the difference.

Everything you expect from a real professional who tries to help.
He told me to take pictures of the panel, gave me some tips and it worked! For free...

Very kind, fast and helpful.
I highly recommend!

I had an electrical issue on a Saturday afternoon.  I called Eddie and he was willing to come out that day to take care of my wiring issue.  He was very patient during the  initial call and while he was at my home, he explained what the issue was and what the remedy would be while he worked.  I will call him next time I have an electrical problem.

For service - 5 stars. Price - 1 star. Hence 3 stars. And because of the other reviews of exorbitant and unreasonable fees minus 1 star to = 2 stars, I have just decided.
Just under $840 for less than 3 hours of work. No material involved.
If money is no issue then this is the guy for you. We got ripped off, but not as bad as some others who were charged $300-400 for a tripped breaker.
These guys charge $295/hr. plus a travel fee. A travel fee? We're in SF, they're in SF. $65 for a travel fee? That is some gall.
And I ask A 24 to explain what the $35 fee is for 'material.' At our place they trouble-shooted an intercom system. Maybe used a few wire nuts and I know they put in 8 wall anchors. They know what they're doing but have some nerve to charge what they do.
If A 24 has any integrity they will reply to this posting explaining the travel fee and more importantly, the 'material' fee. ~ that is the icing on the cake. There really is no excuse for the $295/hr fee either, except that possibly this is SF and everyone is way too busy so they try and get as much as they can. And they do!
Oh, and did I mention that there is a $295 minimum plus the $65 travel fee. There is.
See other reviews. I am not alone. The positive reviews are likely their friends, very rich people, or both.

I can't praise Eddie enough. He came out to install a charging circuit for my new car with just 12 hours notice and in the process literally saved my life.

I've never worked with such a wonderful professional contractor before. Not only does Eddie do what he promises for what he quotes, he goes way beyond. He took the time to explain everything he saw at my home. I thought I just needed a quick cable run to a new 240v socket but Eddie quickly found a major flaw in my homes wiring. While scoping the job he discovered that the lighting circuit for the entire ground floor wasn't wired through a breaker but directly to the bus rails of the panel (something that at least 4 other licensed electrical contractors had ignored over the last 10 years)! Any short could have resulted in a fire, the loss of my home and potentially my life. How do you put a dollar value on that? His work is meticulous. He prides himself in getting the details right and doing what is actually needed, not what is quickest or cheapest. If you want a quick and dirty fix, look elsewhere, Eddie will give you a solution that lasts.

For those who complained about cost I'm reminded that you really do get what you pay for. If a professional comes out to troubleshoot after hours on a 24/7 basis he should be compensated for his dedication and expertise. I feel Eddie charged me a very fair rate for being at my home at 6AM to fit the work in, the impeccable way he executed the job and the amazing level of consideration he gave to not just what I asked for but the well being of me and my loved ones. I will happily turn to him every time I need help with an electrical project in the future.

Punctual: yes. Professional: yes. Extremely expensive? Yes.
I called on a Saturday. He came, could not find the issue, and still charged me $300 for coming.
Never Again.

Of course your house electrical and plumbing always occurs on week-ends. We had a circuit breaker failure at our home and after troubleshooting myself I decided to call for help. This is is when I called Eddie owner of the A Electric Co. I explained to Eddie the problem and everything I did over the phone. He asked me to take some pictures of our electrical panels and text those to him. Eddie figured out the issue and promptly called me back to walk me through for resolving SAFELY the issue remotely. Of course, Eddie has noticed that one of the circuit breaker was not pushed completely to the on position. So he made me turn it off and on. And Problem resolved at no charge and remotely! I am providing that much details because I want to emphasize Eddie's professionalism, promptness to help effectively his customers while thinking at the cost (avoiding to come to our home for resolving a very simple problem).
I highly recommend to use Eddie's electrical services.
Thank you again Eddie!

We called Eddie based on the great reviews here, and we were not disappointed. He did an excellent job, explained everything to us clearly, and we were happy to have worked with him

We live in an older home in the sunset, and our electrical wiring was badly in need of updating--we kept blowing the circuits each time we ran our microwave and toaster together. Eddie did a thorough inspection and gave us a kind of triaged approach to addressing our electrical issues for the safety of our home. We are working in 2 stages to update our system and have complete confidence that we are in expert and capable hands.

I noticed that some thought Eddie was too expensive, but we felt that he took the time to do the job right, and explained everything to us clearly. He obviously has a depth of knowledge and expertise from all of his years of hands on electrical work.
Really, we sleep better at night knowing our wiring is safe. We definitely recommend Eddie.

Not the cheapest, but really the best.

I made an mid-week, evening emergency call to Eddie, who arrived within an hour to help.  Within 15 minutes he had diagnosed the problem in my apartment, even warned me of a few electrical fire hazards that I wasn't aware of.  What I really liked was that he took the extra time to explain everything to me.

Eddie is everything you could want in an electrician - knowledgeable, friendly and professional.

they showed up on time (on short notice) and did the job efficiently and effectively.  Very good service.

We needed some pretty major electrical upgrading to our older San Francisco home.  Eddie came to our house at the scheduled time and provided us a quote and contract.  He was the utmost professional through the whole process.  He had to spend a good 3 full days at our house and always arrived on-time.  I felt comfortable leaving him alone on the property, including one full day in our kitchen, while we were away at work.    Eddie took care of arranging the time with the city inspector and was on-site to meet with them.  His work passed inspection with flying colors.  He also made the initial calls to PG&E to start their piece of the project.  The quality of his work is top-notch, and he even cleaned up after himself!!!  Eddie couldn't have made the process any easier for us.  I will be using Eddie for any future licensed electricion needs, and highly recommend that you do the same.

THIS MAN IS A CROOK.  Do not believe his positive reviews, they are phony.  The circuit breaker flipped from an overload.  My tenants did not know how to flip the switch.  He came spent less than 10 minutes, flipped the switch and charged $295.00.  To top it off, he charged $45.00 for travel fee even though he is about 12 blocks from my house.  My tenants paid so I was on the hook to reimburse them.  When I called to get an explanation from him of exactly what he did he gave me a lot of double talk about explaining the process  to my tenant.  After several vague answers I said, I think you just flipped the switch.  Is that what you did?  His response, In theory, yes  And what about the travel fee? He said he charged from where he is at the time.  I do not calculate from my bed  It doesn't matter where I sleep.  He may have knowledge, but he is a crook.

I hurt my leg and had to go for surgery. I needed a door buzzer for my recuperation--I live up many stairs. I called Edde on a Sunday morning, he showed up Monday, I gave him a key, and left for surgery and overnight at the hospital. Meanwhile, he put in a great video door buzzer system for my gate and front door (no visible wires). He finished at 4:30 on Tuesday. Hospital was slow in discharging me and HE WAITED FOR ME FOR TWO HOURS at my house until I returned home at 6:30!  He was very kind and showed me how it worked and then called to check in. He came back to adjust something and, at no additional charge, replaced one of the lock mechanisms for me!  This man is very skilled, but more important, he is honest and truly dependable.  I recommend him most highly!

I called Eddie around 11am and he came the same day before 1pm.  He is very knowledgable, as well as friendly, quick, and funny. He even helped with an additional electrical problem I had, and gave me advice on how best to manage it.   I would definitely use Eddie again.

Just as an FYI, he prefers cash or check.

My old door chime short-circuited and wouldn't stop ringing.  This is not a pleasant sound.  Imagine a fire alarm blaring at close range in your ears.  I called Eddie after hours and he arrived quickly.  Thanks to his prompt service and efficiency, the doorbell has been repaired so we can sleep peacefully tonight.  I would use his services again.

Love this guy !  Professional. very nice, fair, speedy - really top-notch.
Highly recommend his services.  (I was referred by my also excellent plumber, Master Plumbing).
  Now, I am one of the rare few who has both an electrician and a plumber that I can trust.  And love.

Eddie is expertly knowledgable, prompt, polite, and takes the time to educate you about your electrical situation and how to solve it most efficiently. He also cares about satisfying his customers. I highly recommend him for your residential contracting needs.

Wonderful service!  Edward came same day and fixed multiple problems in a very old and difficultly wired house.  He is very nice, and he explained everything and gave lots of good advice.

I had a power issue in my apartment for quite sometime and once the property manager gave the go ahead to get it fixded Eddie contacted me immediately.  He was at my apartment in no time and did his diagnostic checks while walking me through the whole process.  His analysis was spot on and he was able to pinpoint the issue, which was amazing seeing that the switch boxes had been plastered over previously in a remodeling.  Eddie was professional the whole time and found numerous hazards which could have led to signifcant damages down the road.  I would hire Eddie again immediately if I ever came across something electrical I needed taken care of, he was top notch!

My circuit breaker was fried on a Sunday night. Eddie came promptly, did his job promptly, and went above and beyond in explaining to me the source of my problem. Very friendly, personable, and smart. I highly recommend him.

The price that Eddie charges demands a high standard. He delivers it and more. I was initially disappointed. We had a problem that couldn't be resolved. Frustrated that I had paid and not had my problem resolved, I had commented about my dissatisfaction on this board. He came back a few days later, went through the problem and got the whole thing resolved! He had to come back not only once but twice! Thanks, Eddie. Great service!

If you have serious electrical problems or concerns you must hire this guy! Don't go for a cheap hourly wage or discounted offers. Eddie has experience, is professional, and will walk you through and verbalize what he is doing and thinking at every step of the way.

We recently had a terrifying experience - smoke from an outlet. After calling Eddie at A24 Electric Company, he was willing to come out a few hours after we spoke on a Saturday. After spending over an hour investigating the problem, the source was not detected.

He next informed us that if the problem arises again, to call him immediately leaving his card and numerous phone numbers.

It returned 24 hours later and Eddie was back. This time, he spent nearly 3 hours performing a detailed, extensive, and labor intensive process of elimination until the problem was found and remedied. We now sleep at ease without fear of fire!

Although there may be cheaper electricians out there, there is no doubt that his 30 years of experience, intelligence, and thorough professionalism is well worth it. Truth be told, he spent nearly 5 hours in total and removed every fixture, testing every outlet, and then found the culprit - the smoking gun was a badly wired dimmer switch that few electricians would have considered investigating.

Skip the guys that charge an hourly rate for sub-par work and head straight for Eddie. You can also review his experience and licensing info at the State of California website on electricians and contractors.

We are so grateful for the service Eddie provided and when I asked him if the whole circuit needed re-wiring, he was honest enough to suggest that such a job would cost thousands of dollars and is not necessary as long as we don't overwhelm the circuit. Wow! A mindful electrician not seeking work to make some extra cash.

Its really a no-brainer. Go with A24!

5 stars from all over reviews does not surprise me.......you want to pay for the BEST? It is this guy. No ohhhhh yeah well maybe next week kinda deal. Straight up. If he HAS TIME.......he is going to be there in 20 minutes or at least his next spare time frame the SAME DAY. I was so impressed.
YELP is the BEST by the way or we would not have found him.......so, I call in a panic and literally Eddy is at our doorstep 3 hours later........HOLIDAY TIME...omg. We almost kissed his feet. Very hard to find a repairman so close to Christmas.
Eddie saved the day.........and actually........LITERALLY gave us our power back to light our Xmas tree........and have the best Xmas ever when it could have been a very cold and light less few days . Very thankful as we had a house full of guests.

Well........there is one in San Fran and not only will he fix your problem but he is probably the best guy in the area. He is pricey but worth it if you want the job done. No more.........calling in another guy later. He takes pride in his work...........that was very clear to me.

We were VERY grateful this 2011 Xmas , had the twinkling Xmas tree DUE TO EDDIE and .......stayed warm........DUE TO EDDIE.......,,,mmmmmm last minute in an emergency EDDIE was there for us. So if you want a guy who gets the job done the right way the FIRST TIME.........you call Eddie.

Cause he is the BEST IN OUR AREA.  period.
5 stars straight up.

Had an emergency at our very busy coffee roasting business, some years back, leaving us without power to the roaster. A 24 Hour Electric came across to the East Bay within a half hour and was able to get the roaster up and operating. We had minimal downtime and all of our orders were out the same day.  I was so impressed that we used them the entire time we owned the business and  they continue to  do all  work on my home as well.  Extremely competent,and skilled. Has my highest recommendation.
