AJ Electric

Highly recommend!  Jamie took my call and our schedules would not work immediately but I requested a call if an earlier time would work.  There was a cancel same day I called and Jamie arrived within 2 hours, diagnosed issue, picked up required parts and job was complete within the hour.  The work was explained for an electrical novice. As a result of the great service I plan to use Jamie for our future EV installation.

Jamie did a cross-section of work for us.  Quick and good.  This was our third project with her--all came out perfectly.

Couldn't have been happier with my experience with Jamie at AJ Electric.  She saved me so much on my job!  So happy to now have an experienced electrician I can trust.  

I needed 3 electric wall heaters and 2 thermostats installed, with me supplying the replacements.  I got quotes from ~10 electricians in San Francisco and AJ was by far the most competitive.  When Jamie was here she figured out that the only one of the heaters and both thermostats needed replacing.  So I was able to return the two heaters I didn't use.  I also asked her about a lighting fixture that was giving me issues.  This wasn't part of my original ask, but she had the parts needed in her tool belt and fixed it on the spot!  She could have easily charged me for my initial quote and more for the lighting fixture replacement, but since the job took less time, she charged me less! She also explained everything to me :) Thank you Jamie!  

Would high recommend AJ Electric!  This is exactly the kind of family owned San Francisco business you want to support!

Had the best experience with AJ Electric and highly recommend them for your electrical services! Andrew the proprietor was absolutely fantastic. He was able to help me diagnose an issue that I've paid a couple other electricians to fix problem, just for the same issue to come back. Andrew however knew quickly what the issue was and fixed it!  Not just for the time being but for good! Haven't had an issue again.
Since, I have called him on a few other items in my house, and has been nothing but professional and fair with each service.
I've paid less, but every time, I got less.

Just found out he does both residential and commercial. My business is about to add an addition and AJ Electric is absolutely who I'm going with. Not making the same mistake I did at home using other companies that may bid a little less. I'm going with Andrew because not only are his quotes fair every time, but the work is right every time! Had to pass this along. Definitely worth giving Andrew a call.

I have communicated with John through Yelp messaging to come for an estimate.  We have agreed upon the time and I have sent him the address in a text message.  He confirmed receiving it.  And then he disappeared.  He did not return my text message or phone call, and he did not show up at the appointed time.  My time was wasted.  It was very important that I get an electrician for that particular time.  If John would cancel in advance, I could have secured someone else.  However, he does not mind wasting people's time.

Best electrician in the city. PERIOD
In less than one day, they came over identified the issue and solved it faster than it took me to create a yelp account to make this review.

11/10

Customer service is amazing with AJ Electric. She answered my call first try and was able to come fix a blown fuse within a few hours of when I called. Will definitely be calling AJ Electric for all our electrical needs in the future.

I had a small electrical job that many electricians in San Francisco wouldn't have bothered to come out for (or so I was told by one, cue eye roll), so I was thrilled when Jamie said she could help. We scheduled her visit for one week out (this was not emergent or pressing, which I conveyed to her), and she texted the day of to confirm and give me an ETA which I *so* appreciated. Beyond doing a great job, she was friendly to me and my toddler who was very curious about the work she was doing. And gave me a lower price than what she'd quoted on the phone because it was an easy job! I am thrilled to have a go-to electrician now and would happily recommend AJ Electric to anyone.

I have used AJ Electric for over 20 years.  They are reliable and do great work.  Best of all, their customer service is excellent.

Great experience... Jamie showed up on time....fixed all the electrical issues (previous wiring was incorrect) and also recommended the appropriate switches to ensure I could control my lights through a wireless app.....highly recommended!!

I had a minor issue at the house, which was to figure out why the doorbell from the outside wasn't working in one flat, but it worked for the other.  John came by on relatively short notice (which I greatly appreciated) and figured out the problem that another electrician couldn't (over the course of three hours!).  He not only identified the issue, he finished inside an hour and a half, and that included a quick run to get a part he didn't have.  Nice guy.  He's actually from San Francisco (rare), comes from a family of electricians, and definitely knows his stuff.  Would absolutely use him in the future and his rates are very reasonable.  

I saw a one star review and couldn't imagine John and his team leaving a mess or being unprofessional.  He absolutely knew what he was doing and explained what was going on well.  

As of this review, he only had ten reviews, but don't let the lack of review volume deter you from at least reaching out and getting an estimate from him!

This is a review on a job completed by AJ Electric this past year for an eight unit building.  AJ Electric replaced the PGE closet for the electrical service for the building.  

Out of all of the estimates I received for this job, the  solution from AJ Electric was the best for the building.  All the other electrical contractors suggested the easiest redesign.  The job was completed on time and at an honest bid.  This is a company that knows how to do business and does the job right.

Needed help on fixing an electric outlet that stopped working.  Got the job done on a timely manner and was a great experience to schedule/communicate with.

John is great.  I have worked with him off and on over the past 9 years.  

He installed 220 in my garage for my dryer back in 2007, track lighting in my kitchen in 2008, and some recessed lighting in my downstairs in 2010.  He has also troubleshot and repaired some issues I had with my electrical to my furnace over the past couple years, saving me a bunch of money.  He is super responsive and a great worker.  I highly recommend John for any of your electrical needs.

John the electrician and owner of AJ Electric is very busy. It took some time before I received an official quote. However I did receive a rough estimate via text the day after he came to perform his estimate. He was punctual and on time the day of my appointment. He was very observant and respectful, for example he asked if he should remove his shoes before entering my home. His pricing is reasonable. His work is very thorough. He even patched up all the holes made in the closet. He came with his assistant Mike who was also a pleasure to work with.  I had the following services: (1) an existing pull chain closet light converted to a LED strip light with a designated light switch; (2) a new LED closet light with designated switch was installed in a closet without an existing light source/power supply; and (3) a blown outlet was also replaced which was not even on my list of things to do but he took care of it.

John of A J Electric did a great job on the installation of motion-activated recessed outdoor lights, an Aiphone video intercom system, ethernet to three rooms, and bringing several kitchen outlets up to code with GFCI outlets. He also cleaned up a rats nest of old, dead wire that had been left behind after various telephone system and cable tv changes, plus worked with our DirecTV installer to run the HD cable so that no new holes had to be opened up in our walls or floors. He gave good recommendations on where he felt it was worth it to spend money and where we could find some savings.

I reached John by mistake, after getting a referral to a different AJ Electric in San Francisco from Buildzoom.com. I sent an email listing all of the work that I wanted done, and John pointed out my mistake but expressed interest in the job. He came out to take a look and provide a quote, which was quite reasonable. We'd just purchased our house and were anxious to get certain work complete prior to our move-in date, or as soon after the move-in date as possible. John was was very flexible and accommodating with the scheduling, working around our moving day and working most of the day on a Sunday to get everything done in the timeframe we were looking for. We ended up making some changes to the scope of work while he was here, and he gave us an updated estimate and stayed within that new estimate to get everything finished on budget.

The work was done over three days, with a gap of two days in between the start and finish to accommodate our moving day. At the end of each of the first two days all of the dust and debris were cleaned up and tools stacked neatly so as not to be in our way or in the way of the movers. John neatly labeled the new ethernet cables as well as the existing ethernet cables so that we can easily find the connections on the switch, and he also filled in a couple of missing labels for breakers on our electrical panel.

I will definitely call John again when we're ready to remodel our kitchen, and would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for an electrician who is knowledgeable about both low voltage and high voltage electrical work.

I've had John at A J Electric come out to work on various parts of our 4-unit Victorian several times.  He has always been attentive, gentlemanly, prompt, and reasonably priced.

What really makes him my favorite electrician, though, is his familiarity with antique fixtures, and his ability to get any odd-ball or custom fixture to wire up securely and properly to the ceiling or wall.  I've had other electricians shrug their shoulders helplessly when there was no off-the-shelf standard part available.

John from AJ Electric was great!  With all of this rain, water seeped into an electrical connection outside.  This caused sparking noises and triggered my breaker to switch off.  John came out to turn off the electrical currents to the damaged areas by the next morning.  (We turned off the breaker until he arrived.)  Although he was unable to make the repairs immediately due to his schedule, he provided a quote and a date to get it fixed.  This was two weeks out, but he made it possible to keep everything safe until that time.  John arrived on time with his partner, worked quickly, kept me informed of the progress, and finished in just a little less than the time quoted.  I found John and his partner extremely professional and reasonably priced.  I will definitely keep AJ Electric as my go-to for electrical needs.

John did a small residential job for me adding some security lights.  They were on time and flexible with my schedule, did a great job, and cleaned up afterwards.  They picked out the right fixtures for the job so I didnt have to think about it.

Worst customer service ever waited 5 minutes till I met him and he left. He said I did you a favor and you weren't  at the job site.No I hired you and then you show up do the job then I pay for your service.Thats the way it works.Your not doing me a favor if I've never used your company.Which will never happen.Use that phone in your pocket it's a communication device  for business.

Reliable, professional and very accurate with his job. Extremely qualified as well as knowledgeable in his line of work.

Worst electrician ever. Rude and unpleasant, very unproffesional. They also left a huge mess when they left and sub par job. Beware!!

I've had John work on several projects for me over the last 3 or 4 years. He's always been great. My wife likes him because he leaves our place cleaned and neat, even mid-project. I once had an emergency issue on a weekend night, so I called a 24 hour service come. I asked them to look over another issue for us, to which he said he'd have to come back another time for because it's an all day job for $1,800. When John came he fixed it in 20 minutes and charged $120. Highly competent, honest, and easy to work and communicate with.

AJ Electric is a top notch company.  As a general contractor, I have dealt with John on many of my projects.  He is extremely detailed oriented, reliable and works well with my customers.  I would highly recommend him for all of your electrical needs.

About A&J Electric
I called A&J electric to fix a broken breaker on my main switch box , the one that was getting power to the laundry washer , in the garage. Mike is a fast thinker,  spot the problem in no time, got back to his shop to get the right module, tested thoroughly. Done !   I like that ...

A J Electric did all the electrical work on our building during the condo conversion process with the City.  When we bought our building we knew there was a bunch of electrical work that had been done without a permit and was not up to Code.  For the condo conversion, it would all have to be ripped out, upgraded, and permitted.  What a pain!  John knew the City inspector, which was a great help.  She wanted us to bring down the whole ceiling of our kitchen so she could inspect the unpermitted work.  Since John had worked with her many times before, he was able to negotiate a compromise, and they agreed on a less drastic inspection, with just a few holes punched in the ceiling.   That saved us both time and money.  His work is tight and fairly priced.  He showed up on time, and was honest and easy to work with.   I will certainly use him again and I've already referred him to several friends who needed electrical work.
