Saul and his brother did an excellent job installing an electrical outlet in the ceiling of my home for use with an island hood vent. From the moment I contacted them, to them coming over to perform the installation, they were both extremely professional in how they conducted their business.
In the middle of the installation, I had a few questions about the placement of the outlet and they were more than happy to pause and answer my questions. After the installation was completed, they walked me through all the work they had done and ensured that everything had been cleaned up both inside the kitchen as well as outside around the house.
I cannot recommend Saul enough for all your electrical needs. Saul is extremely responsive as well and a true master at his craft.

I asked them to change a total of three ballasts for two light fixtures. They said they will give a discount if I pay cash so I did. It was $300. When they left they said it was fixed. I just need to buy a new bulb for it. I took their words for it, but when I bought the new bulbs one of the lights still didn't work. I called and texted them. They will try to come out when they are in the area. It has been three weeks and as of last week they said they won't be able another two weeks. They said if I want them to come out I have to pay an additional $150.
What a scam. They didn't fix the problem and I shouldn't have paid them more. But once they got the money they ran away and never looked back. Now I have to hire someone else to come fix the problem. Please don't use them. They are not honest people. They just want your money. And please don't pay cash.
Great service. We needed an outdoor outlet installed and we got a response immediately.
They came next day and finished the job within 30mins. Very happy with the service and would recommend.
Saul and his brother did an excellent job extending an electrical GFCI outlet in 2 bathrooms for bidet installation. They even drilled through the tile in the bathroom and aligned to outlet perfectly!
Quick, responsive and great value!

This started off ok. Made appointment they did not fulfill agreement. Did not reply to text or calls and needed to reschedule.
I used to be in service and I'm aware off family emergencies. There is always a way to reach out to your customer if there is an emergency. Saul and no one from his company did this in a timely manner. He changed the time after I called him. He then changed the time again to 11:30a after missing the 8-9a window and never showed up.
He later texted asked can he change the date from Saturday after I rearranged my schedule for his new time on Saturday of 11:30a to Monday.
I then let him know this wasn't acceptable and I was also lucky to find a better electrician. Don't go here I do feel if I wasn't who I am and possibly white he would e taken this more seriously in terms of respect and communication. That's the reality

Saul and his brother helped my family with a nema 14/50 outlet 240v on a 50amp circ breaker for my Tesla Model 3 using the Mobile connector. This increased my charging speed to 30-32 miles per hour which is awesome! I'm very happy with working with Saul he was on time, respectful, courteous and a pleasure to work with. Ive attached some photos of the nema install in my garage, the wire was run across my attic to the electric panel on the other side of my home. Him and his brother did this quickly and were in an out! I'd call them again for any future electrical additions. Thank you again Saul and brother.
Beware company does not have a license or insurance and they do not even have a business license. The real owner of Bay Area Electric is
Lee Simpson in San Mateo and this fraudulent company owned by Saul is using his name.
We reported Saul to the Contractors State
License Board for advertising without a license and contracting without a license.
We also notified the city of Daly City building
Dept that they are contacting without a license.

This is the first time ever where I experienced a company not taking ownership and accountability of work completed by its own service reps.
I legitimately question if Bay Area Electric is a true business, or just a lead routing service to a network of contractors. PLEASE USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
1. My service rep ghosted me and left the job incomplete after I've paid for the work done
2. The initial installation burnt all my low voltage lights because the rep didn't know the basics around installing a transformer
3. The work was not done to code, and was a fire hazard if not remediated.
All of the above could have been easily fixed if Bay Area Electric sent another electrician to complete the job and resolve any open concerns. This leads me to my final and most concerning complaint that made me question the legitimacy of this company.
4. Saul assigned this electrician Jose to my home, but after the rep disappeared, he did NOT take ownership for the rep's failure and nonresponse. Although he quoted the job, assigned the rep, and worked out details around implementation, he now states that he recommended another electrician to me. Since I paid this electrician and not Saul, Bay Area Electric takes no accountability over that electrician's failure. Saul insists that he is now just a translator for this rep, who couldn't communicate directly with me in English.
I would have NEVER accepted Bay Area's Electric's bid and quote for this job if I knew that it wasn't completed by Bay Area Electric. Nowhere in any previous communication did he mention that he was referring someone outside of Bay Area Electric to work with me. He referred to the rep as my electrician ; I've attached proof within the screenshots of our communications.
In the end, I had to redo the job with another service. The new electrician ripped out the previous work and completed everything within 5 hours. The rep assigned by Bay Area Electric spent 3 days and left me with a pile of mess, exposed wires, and a potential fire hazard.
Saul did a really amazing job! He was prompt and fixed the problem very quickly! I can't give this company enough accolades. We really needed to replace the breakers for our house after a check by at&t. We are really grateful to them! He did extra checks by listening for sounds that would signify something wrong with the circuit. They reminded us to check all the affected outlets. They said their work was guaranteed and would come back to fix any issues if that didn't solve the issue. Really professional and thorough service. I was really impressed. Many thanks for doing a super wonderful job!
We have been looking at ways to save money for our small 7 unit condo association. Now we have new LEDs in most of the residential areas of our building which will help cut energy costs for us.
We contacted Bay Area Electric to work on replacing our old halogen bulb lights with LED lights in the hallways and deck, and installing outlets in our building lobby and storage closet.
They were very patient and helpful as they worked with us to get the work completed to our satisfaction.
I truly recommend Bay Area Electric to all who are looking for great electricians. Saul is a professional and I am very happy with the work he provided. If you need a team you can trust. Contact this company.
Very good experience. Responded promptly, gave a reasonable quote. Came on time, did the job well. Would definitely recommend
I had a small electrical job for a malfunctioning under cabinet LED light. Saul with Bay Area Electric was quick to respond to my request and I was able to get service quickly. They fixed the problem at a reasonable cost. I am very pleased with the work performed by Bay Area Electric.
Great service! They installed my Tesla home charger in my garage. Very nice, polite, and professional people!

I reached out to this team to get some info and pricing on an EV charger installation, and ultimately chose to hire them for the job.
Saul was very RESPONSIVE to ALL my phone and text inquiries and even passed by my house to check out the electrical panel and garage a month before we decided to move forward with the job at no extra cost. Saul and his partner Daniel arrived ON TIME, were very polite, well-prepared with all the materials on-hand and knowledgeable about the work to be done, and worked very quickly and efficiently.
After they completed the work, they cleaned up any mess they made; something we can truly appreciate because contractors we've hired in the past have left a big mess for US to clean up after. The fee for the job was a great price for the work.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Bay Area Electric for their electric services and would definitely hire them again for future electrical work. Saul & Daniel provide HONEST, HARD & EXCELLENT work! Thank you fellas!
My switch controlled electrical outlet stop working. I need to get it fix as soon as possible because it provides power to an aquarium. Saul from Smart sf Electric responded with text messages. He was trying to save me money by teaching me how to fix it over the phone. Since the outlet is dirty and old, the wires are not color coded, I couldn't get it fixed. He then showed up my door the next day morning. He was able to fix it within 20 minutes. It seems to me he was a very busy and hardworking man. He checked the clock few times while working on my receptacle.
Thank you very much Saul for fixing my outlet so quickly. I am glad I found a reliable electrician. Saul is very knowledgeable/professional, and with good communication/personality. I will recommend Saul to my friends and relatives.

Saul was super quick and responsive to my request. He came within 15 mins after I made a call. He helped me diagnose the issue and provided some suggestions to resolve the issue. I would definitely reach out to him again.

Do you want super friendly nice people to come help you with the dangerous electrical problems You face?
Are you sick of dealing with misogynistic boomers who treat you poorly and man's plain everything.?
Are you just trying to get something fixed and want to deal with honest, punctual, and polite people.
Finally, do you just want to pay someone to do a thing on an appointed day with no hassles?
Then look no further!!! These two brothers are exceptional! They are nice, honest and don't over charge or treat you like an idiot.
I have called these guys twice and I will %100 say they are now my go to for any electrical issue I have with my woman owned business.
They offer solutions to any problems that may come up. They installed 4 lights for me and I am super happy with their services. They are punctual, personable and go above and beyond any other electricians I have dealt with.
Thanks guys!!
Not very respectful of schedules and other people's time. Here's his confirmed time slot and while I'm waiting for him he sends me a note that he's going to show up at 3 - 4 pm instead.

Needed a new outlet put in. Saul and team were quick to respond and come over. Even though it ended up being a bit more challenging to run the wire through some studs, they got it done for the same (reasonable) price. Definitely would recommend for electrical jobs!
Saul and Daniel came on time and finished the job faster than expected. They ran a line for my wife's EV charger. After the install, they showed me the voltage readings at the drop which were on point.
After testing the wall charger, we read 48amps which is also on point with a 50amp breaker.
Everything was perfect and professionally installed.
Daniel also made the extra effort to sweep up the work area and make sure there were no screws or sharp objects left behind.
I would definitely hire these two again. Pricing was also best compared to other quotes I received.
Great communication from the start
Gave accurate arrival time
Finished faster than quoted install window
Clean professional work and cleanup
Great service. I got them to replace 3 recessed lights in my apartment.
* Quick to respond on Yelp Messaging.
* One of the only electricians that gave me a quote beforehand.
* Quote was competitive.
* finished the job very quickly.
* cleaned up after themselves
Would be happy to get service from them again.

Saul and Daniel were able to solve our tripping microwave and refrigerator issue quickly and inexpensively after multiple other electricians either gave up or offered us costly estimates. They were great and we'll use them again for future electrician services.
I made a service appointment that was confirmed with them by text. They did not show up or call. I could have met with another electrician to provide the service I requested.
Saul and his partner did an awesome job installing light sconces outside our garage. First, I'd like to mention how great they are at communication - they were quick to respond to my inquiry on Yelp and via text messages. They also sent a reminder text the day prior to confirm the appointment and texted me the morning of. They were punctual - showed up right on the dot of our appointment time. The installation process was very quick and clean. The price I was charged was fair. I highly recommend these guys and I will reach out to them again for future work. Thanks, Bay Area Electric!
Very quick & efficient response. Arrived punctually and did the job quickly, efficiently, and professionally. And, above all, their charges were reasonable. I recommend Saul highly, and will definitely be using them in the future.
Had very good customer service with Alejandro. They coordinated on text messaging which was msg preferred way of communication, gave me the earliest appointment, responded promptly, arrived on time and finished the job quickly with good quality work.
Very reasonable and highly recommended.
Bay Area Electric was super responsive, well knowledgeable and very quick to getting the job done without skipping any detail. I was looking to get my Tesla charger set up for the house and because the location from the garage to the main breaker was far, the job seemed like it would be more complicated than I thought. However Bay Area Electric were able to find the crawl space from the garage and worked tirelessly to get it done. If you can see from the picture, you can notice the attention to detail with the wiring. I'd definitely use them again for any electric services. Thank you!

I recently got an EV and needed a home charger installed, with a caveat being I don't have a garage. So Saul dug out and backfilled my cement and installed a post with the charger on it, and replaced my breaker panel to accommodate the eV charger. All inclusive job and it was by far the most reasonable price after I'd shopped around. He even returned to troubleshoot a problem I had, which ended up being an issue on my end (and not with the job). Nice guys and will use again.
Needed someone to come out to check my electrical panel. Had outlets on the south side of my house not working. Electrician must be licensed and bonded.
Saul from Bay Area Electric, licensed and bonded was responsive, timely, and answered all my questions before having him out to check the panel today. He reviewed the inside panel and the outside meter. He understood what the problem was and relayed the problem in layman's terms. Much appreciated. He was not able to do any repairs as it was an outside wiring problem that is PG&E's realm. Groan...on that last point.
Because Saul could not do any repairs, I was not charged for the visit. Thank you!
I would definitely call Saul at Bay Area Electric for any electrical issues now that I have someone to call.
Saul and his team were incredible to work with. My home was dealing with issues with intermittent power outages, which ultimately required PG&E's assistance to fix, but in that time, Saul replaced and grounded all the electrical outlets in my home, as well as ran new lines to high usage outlets.
I can't stress, how honest and dilligent Saul was in completing our job.

Saul and his brother did a fantastic job installing our new pendant lighting. They were on-time, reasonable and super friendly to work with. They even accommodated resetting and rotating the light when we changed our mind mid-way through. We will be using them for future electrical work.
First yelp review -- Saul was absolutely professional very friendly and clean even took off his shoes when working .
Fixed all lights and ceiling fan-- everything working perfectly now

Had a great experience with these guys! I needed to run a new 30amp 240v outlet from the subpanel in my garage to my water heater. Bay Area Electric:
-Responded right away
-Came out to see the site in less than a day
-Quoted a very reasonable price
-When I asked them to move forward, they came the very next day; and
-Completed the job quickly and professionally, in just a few hours
On top of that, they were really friendly and respectful of our space. It's likely I'll need more electrical work done in the next year for my furnace, and I definitely intend to hire Bay Area Electric again.
These guys are the best! I was having an issue with my walk-in closet light. They responded within 5 minutes or less and came out the very next morning. They completed the task in less than an hour and now I have a new beautiful working light in my closet! Saul and his brother were polite, hardworking and informed. Pricing was extremely reasonable, too! I cannot recommend these guys enough.

I have no idea why Raul never show up. We had a great conversation yesterday and he was able to give a quote and agreed to come to my home to do the work between 9-10am today. So this morning I texted him at 9am. No response. So I called him at 10:30am. He picked up and said there is some traffic between SF and Redwood City and will be at my home in about 20 minutes. So we waited again. 1hour later still didn't show up. So we called again (3 times) and no response. Now it is 1:30pm, no clue what happened. I hope He is doing just fine but I am real mad and disappointed about the service. Good job Raul.

Saul and his brother were completely professional. They were very prompt in all of their communication and showed up on time. They cleaned up spotlessly and although not the cheapest were not the most expensive either. I would gladly use them again for any electrical needs. I highly recommend them.

Called Saul to come out to do a job. Should be great, right? 5 Stars all the way, quick to respond..... Well, the receiving end found something completely different. Contact him 4/17 for an immediate job. Few cancellations and no shows and now May 9th.... We scheduled for him to come between 7:30-8:30. 10:30 he messages us that he needs to cancel. What a waste of time..... If you are too busy or do not want the job, just say so. Jeez....

I had 3 quotes for my Tesla charger, I choose Bay Area Electric. The first time they came, they checked our panel and where to mount the charger. Next day they came to do the job on time. Saul & Daniel the (duo brother) did a good job, Saul was so understanding because my sister was interested watching in what they are doing (she loves to be a handy woman sometimes) He patiently explained some things where and why. My sister asked if we can add another job to do, our garage sensor light & he agreed without hesitation, knowing they haven't eaten their lunch. They love what they do not just because it's a job. They are respectful, knowledgeable, helpful (removed our boxes on top of our cabinets) professional, and lastly reasonable price and We highly recommend Saul & Daniel. 5 Stars to Yelp!!
Responsive, quick, honest. Highly recommended. Came w/in 24 hours to fix an issue we had. Saul and his brother quickly diagnosed the issue and solved it fast. Thank you!
I needed a 240v plug for an EV charger, so I reached out to Saul. He got back to me very quickly and he and Danny showed up the next day to do an estimate, which took just a few minutes. Then, they came back the following day to install (which took just a few hours). It was a small job, but the guys were professional and quick and left us with a well-place plug for the charger. Everything works and I am happy with Bay Area Electric!
I had the power go out for my entire office and adjoining bedroom out of the blue. Then power would flicker on and off, clearly showing something was wrong with the wiring or the outlets. And yet the circuit breaker panel was still showing ON for all breakers.
Marco and his partner were able to come out within 24 hours.
Marco quickly diagnosed the cause - a dangerous wire-burning outlet that had exposed wire and was shorting - that was not wired to code.
He and his team replaced 8 outlets within a few hours, bringing them up to code and giving me peace of mind that I won't be having any electrical fires in the future.
I thought the pricing was reasonable as well.
The best part of the experience was Marco's professionalism and patience in explaining all the options helpfully.

Saul & Daniel were very quick to assess my electrical issues. They ran numerous tests to ensure that the work being done was necessary. I assumed the price for upgrading my electrical panel was going to be costly (panel need to be replace due to corrosion from water intrusion). To my surprise it was very affordable! Great value for excellent work. No more flickering lights or appliances randomly turning on and off. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing electrical work done on their home.

Amazing work done by Saul and his team! We needed to install an outlet for our smart Toto toilet. They provided a well priced quote and came by within a day to install it. Very knowledgeable and fast. They did it so clean too! No holes in the wall to patch up. Very happy with the service and I highly recommend them!

Saul responded to my project request super fast. I lagged a bit on sending the required pictures of the job but once I did he responded immediately and set up a same day appointment!! They showed up on time, installed my light fixture in record time and everything was clean as if it never happened!! Great experience and highly recommend
The GFCI outlet powering our garbage disposal suddenly stopped working. We found Saul on Yelp and he was able to quickly replace the faulty receptacle which restored power to the garbage disposal. Unfortunately, the garbage disposal itself wasn't working at this point but Saul went the extra mile to clear and reset the disposal to get things working. We'll definitely reach out to Saul for electrical work in the future.
Saul and his team did a great job helping us replace a light fixture that we couldn't find the power for. They troubleshooted and fixed everything in 20 min. They showed up when they said they would too (which is a huge plus!). We're super happy with their service. Fair pricing as well!
Saul and his brother set the bar for customer service. They are honest, hard working, polite, very responsive, competent and fairly priced. I would highly recommend them for your electrical needs.
We needed help to fix a kitchen outlet that we tried installing ourselves but ran into trouble. We were able to quickly schedule Daniel from Bay Area Electric to come check and correct the outlet. He was thorough and answered all the questions I had about installing new outlets, which were a lot (I like knowing how things work so I can do it myself). Thank you Bay Area Electric!

Amazing service. Super professional, fixed our apartment doorbell buzzer in under 10 minutes with very fair pricing. 10/10 I will be calling them again for any electrical issues in the future! Thank you Saul
We needed an electrical outlet rewired, and Saul and Daniel came out the next day. While they were here, we asked about converting all of our two prong outlets to three prong, and they were able to do that as well! They were communicative and professional - I highly recommend Bay Area Electric!
I contacted Bay Area Electric to request a quote, and they got back to me in 10 mins. They were able to book me the following day. They where so professional and quickly diagnosed the issue and fixed it within 45 mins. Overall, had a great experience with Bay Area Electric.
Saul was helpful in figuring out a number of electrical issues we had and installed a number of lights quickly. He was quick and responsive.
Helpful and friendly pair. Very responsive with good communication via txt messaging to set up the appt time beforehand. They were punctual and troubleshooted and fixed my problem in a timely manner. Would definitely do business with again. Thanks for the help!

I was remodeling my bathroom and needed 2 new circuits run from my breaker box for a new ceiling heater/vent and additional light and outlet. Saul was responsive to my quote request and made it easy to schedule the estimate and the job. He and Daniel arrived earlier than expected and got the job done in a timely manner. I will refer others to them for electrical work.
Saul and Daniel were very responsive to my last second scheduling when my outlets randomly stopped working.
They were able to troubleshoot and quickly find out the root cause and provide an easy fix.
I would schedule with them again.
I had a super simple job - add an outlet to the inside of a closet, there was already an outlet on the outside so easy place to grab power from. I got quotes from ~5 places, Bay Area Electric were the only ones who could come same-day, and they were the best price by a long shot too. They did the job super fast and super clean. 10 outta 10, I'll definitely call them the next time I've got an electrical job.
They were great! I definitely recommend them! They were on time and had a a lot of good problem solving ideas and fixed the issue on time .
Saul and his team did a great job replacing the electrical sub-panel in our townhome. We originally had a circuit breaker go out. Their price and availability to replace the breaker was better than anybody else's. When they arrived I asked about replacing the entire sub-panel since it was very old. We agreed to change the entire panel, but since it was Friday late afternoon, they replaced the broken circuit breaker for free and was able to come back the following week to replace the entire panel. After the panel work was done they showed me that the voltages were correct from the main to the sub and to the outlets. After doing research, their price again was better than everybody else's.
Because they did a great job I asked for additional work for running a new circuit for an electric fireplace. Due to the cement structure in the crawl space under the house, they had to strategize different options for running the circuit. They were adamant about doing it to code so it ended up costing a little bit more, but glad it still worked out. In the end very happy with the work and prices--definitely recommend!
Saul was excellent. I posted a request for a quote to fix an electrical issue we were having in our home and he quickly responded and visited the next day. He solved the problem very quickly and was incredibly professional. We would highly recommend using him for any electrical projects.
Timely and professional service. Would use again.
Saul and his brother showed up a day after I reached out to install 4 outlets in my house. It took them less than 3 hours to do everything. Great quality work. Would recommend.

Saul and Daniel came by on short notice and efficiently diagnosed the problem in a potentially complicated wiring defect. They were very professional, had a great demeanor and were all around nice guys to work with. They even charged less than the initial quote. I would definitely hire them again!!
Really nice and friendly! They responded quickly and came in an hour later to upgrade my electrical sockets
I'm super impressed by how fast and effortless everything turned out, and I'd highly recommend their service
These guys were great. Really friendly and very responsive. Installed my Tesla wall charger and fixed a faulty light switch. Thanks!
Saul was absolutely amazing. Our tenant called us on a Sunday night to advise the recessed lighting was dimming. Saul responded right away and showed up Monday morning at 8am on time. He is so nice, knowledgeable and friendly. He was able to fix the problem and I am forever grateful to him. I'd highly recommend him. Service with a smile !
They were very prompt. Replied within 10 minutes of sending a request for electricians. Replaced a broken dipper with a light switch that they went out and bought. I also pointed out a broken lightbulb and they bought that for me as well without extra charge.
Reasonable price as well.
Overhead lights and an outlet stopped working. Breaker board was normal. Saul and his brother came by and solved the problem, replaced a switch and now all lights and outlets are working again.

Saul and Daniel did a great job at my house. After an appointment with another company fell through I reached out to Bay Area Electric. They were very responsive and actually available that day. I needed two lights worked on. One fixture was going to be replaced in the dining area and was a pretty simple job. The other fixture needed to be relocated and was a bit more complicated. When Saul went into the wall to put in the bathroom light he discovered an electrical box that had been left behind from work done before I even purchased the home. He let me know immediately and asked if he could open up the wall further so that he could correct the botched job at no extra cost. I gave the okay and it turned out that an old electrical box had been left covered with a tin can lid . Saul corrected the mistake and did a beautiful job with the new light fixture. Both Daniel and Saul did a great job with a the work and I would definitely recommend them.

After initial consultation and install visit, Saul and his team went the extra mile by coming back for a third visit (same day!), weeks after installing new wiring and fixtures, to assess what was ultimately a circuit breaker issue (oops!). Quickly diagnosing the issue, their responsiveness was heartening to see and we fully recommend them for all your odd job electrical projects!

Awesome brother team!!! Saul and Daniel were prompted in responses and have very transparent communications with their quotes. We were able to get 3 additional outlets and Tesla charging unit installed in couple of hours. Along the process, they continued to communicate and consult to ensure you are happy with the work or they will adjust accordingly. Pricings are also very reasonable. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
I'm very happy I hired Bay Area Electric to install a new outlet for our new induction stove. Reasonable price, very responsive and professional workmanship.
Amazing service! My microwave blew out the electric socket and Saul was able to fix it right away. They are honest with pricing, their work is super professional, and they are very responsive! Definitely keeping them on my contact list for future electrical problems/projects!
We needed to install our EV charger in my house and they did an excellent job!
Saul and his brother are very professional, reliable, very good communication skills and did the job with a reasonable price. I will hire them again soon for install security camera. Highly recommend their service if you're in need of an electrician.
They give me a quick response and even arrived on the same day for the service. Helped me with a couple of requests for my outlets. Very friendly and nice people.
Needed a new outlet for a closet where my laundry unit is, they were quick to respond and got to work the next day. I would work with them again!

Used Bay Area Electric today to install 2 bathroom vanity lights. The did a great job and persisted for much longer than originally expected with one installation. Very friendly and responsive. I definitely recommend them and will be using them for other bigger projects. Also, they had the best price among the services that responded on Yelp.

We needed an electrician to install our EV charger, and finding one who is reputable, responsive, and cost-effective is challenging. We went through several bids but ultimately chose Bay Area Electric. They are a small business owned by two brothers, Saul and Daniel. We chose them because they were willing to work with us, and throughout our process of finding the right electrician, they answered our questions and were very responsive, whereas others left us hanging dry. They accommodated our schedule to install the EV charger and kept their work area clean. We had them come out recently to upgrade the EV breaker, and we had the same positive experience. If you need electrical work done or even a second opinion, contact Saul and Daniel.
I would recommend Bay Area Eelective without hesitation. Saul communicated via phone and texting. He quoted a price for service, did the work, and cleaned the area before leaving. This was the 2nd time I used him, and again no complaints. Thank you!
They helped me with my Tesla charger wire setup. Nice and efficient work and their prices are great. They examined my home carefully did a tidy work. I will choose them for other electrical problems in the future.
Super friendly, responsive and reliable. They were able to resolve an outlet problem quickly and provided a recommendation on car charger installation. I definitely plan to use them again.
We were having weird dimming and flickering in our home for a few weeks. Saul responded immediately to my Yelp request and arrived on time. He and his brother found that the fault appeared to be in the neutral power line from the street and asked us to contact PG&E. They came the same day and verified Saul's explanation, replaced the line and fixed our problem. Kudos to Bay Area Electric for their professionalism and expertise.
Saul, Raul and team were great to work with. They provided an accurate estimate using a few photos and the work was wrapped up in 45 min.
10/10 - would recommend.

Saul & Daniel quoted a fair price, were collaborative in finding a good, low impact solution for a new security camera that required new wiring, and worked quickly & efficiently on the installs of a few security camera, a video doorbell, and a new outlet. I will definitely work with them in the future and would recommend them.
Saul Came on time and did excellent work for me even cleaned up after I highly suggest you use the also best price I found on yelp
I had a problem with GCFI outlets and a breaker. I was not able to successfully solve the problem. Saul and his crew were outstanding. They came over and quickly repaired the outlets and fixed the breaker panel.
They do excellent work and have great prices. I give my best possible recommendation. I assure you that you will be pleased with their work.
I am thinking now about adding a line and upgrading the electrical panel and I will call Bay Area Electric to do the job.
Thank you, Saul!!!
Saul was great to work with. He gave me a fixed quote upfront that was very reasonable. He came out right away. When I asked him on the spot for additional work that was a bit tricky, he quickly found an affordable solution for it, and got it all done super fast. I will definitely reach out to him again whenever I have any electrical issues.
From initial contact through project completion, Bay Area Electric was great to work with. They were quick to provide a project quote via text--I provided a few photos of the job site and related fixtures.
On the appointment day, they arrived early and got to work right away. The guys did a beautiful job installing a pendant into my very high (13 ft) ceilings and a sconce onto my kitchen wall. Very happy with the quality of the work! Would definitely work with them again and refer to Bay Area friends in need of electrician work.
These guys were amazing! We had called about an outlet that wasn't working attached to our garbage disposal. They fixed in super quickly, but our garbage disposal still wasn't working. That wasn't their job to fix, but they were so nice. They were leaving and then came back because they thought how they could fix our disposal and they did and didn't charge us for it. They were extremely efficient and awesome at getting more than their job done!
Saul came by for an estimate on the same day that I put in a request for help for an electrician. Very responsive! He figured out what I needed quickly but quickly discovered that I actually didn't need any electrical work done for my desired setup (setting up electrical in a 2nd floor laundry space). He seemed very happy to help out even on an estimate that eventually didn't get him any work. Will definitely reach out to him if I have electrical needs in the future.

Great price and communication. Started replacement of a breaker then also grounded some outlets. These guys are knowledgeable, great communicators and easy to talk to. Highly recommend and will definitely call them for future work.
Saul and Daniel responded to my inquiry right away, gave me a quote from pictures I texted, and got the job done the next day. I had bought a new electric dryer not realizing the old dryer was a gas hook-up. They configured my breaker box, ran the line across the ceiling, and installed a new 220V outlet for the dryer. I have their number saved for the next time I need electrical work.

We needed to replace our old ceiling garage lights with recessed lighting, so I contacted a few professionals. Saul and his brother offered me a free visit to provide a quote and a reasonable estimate on the spot. We decided to do the work with them - they were responsive, fast, and delivered a great lighting setup for my garage. I will definitely call them again in the future.
Saul and his brother are professional, easy to work with, and extremely reliable! They just replaced out bathroom exhaust fan with a smart switch installed and changed the ceiling lights for us. They listened to our ideas, provided us different options & good advices, and their job was fast and clean! I Price is very reasonable. I would recommend his service to anyone who might need an electrician for any job. Highly recommend!
They are very nice, great communication as to estimated price and time of arrival. Efficiently did job and respectful.
They were professional, friendly, quick to respond, showed up quick, and immediately went to work solving problems. They scooped out the issues and gave me great recommendations on the best ways to deal with things, all for a super reasonable price. Super impressed and will use them again for sure!

Fast, friendly and reliable! Thanks for the great work, we were very happy with everything.
They did an excellent job. Their price was fair for my small job and they cleaned up after themselves which I really appreciated. Their communication was excellent with regards to scheduling and all the work seems to be top notch! Thank you very much and I will be using them again for electrical work in the future.
Saul was really helpful and thorough to figure out exactly what was wrong with our outlets! I also appreciated how quick he was to respond and schedule with us!
Saul & his brother arrived quickly and found the issue with our circuit breakers. They were able to test and resolve by replacing the faulty breakers at a fair price. Highly recommend them for any future repairs!

Saul and his crew were super quick to answer my reply and easy to communicate. We scheduled for the next day and I already had the pricing upfront, appreciated the transparency and pricing was more than fair. They did the job quickly and professionally. Would definitely get them again if we need to!

I needed a gfci outlet replaced. They were fast to respond with a reasonable quote, had good communication. Very fast and efficient and cleaned up after the job.
Saul and his brother were friendly and easy to work with. They were knowledgeable and their prices were fair. I will use them again if I have anymore electrical problems.
Saul was absolutely fantastic. He was quick in responding, took my phone calls to discuss the work beforehand and gave an accurate estimate after the walkthrough. He also gave me a work window, and a 30 min heads up before his arrival. He sent picture updates of the finished work via text. He charged fair prices and did great work. Highly recommend!
Saul and his brother installed 2 outlets for us. My father had used them for a past job and I got the recommendation from him. Got a great quote and had the install done within the same hour. Super fast, friendly, and efficient. They were very knowledgeable and explained the best placement for each one. Would totally use them again!
Saul and his team were very responsive and came to give an estimate the day after I reached out. Very informative and patient.

I had a great experience working with Saul and the team at Bay Area Electric. I had several electrical projects for them to work on: 1) upgrade and installation of new circuit panel to handle a new electric dryer, 2) installation of an EV Car Charger, and 3) replacement of an old outlet under my deck. Saul came by and quoted a fair price, provided a timeline for completion, and delivered on both timing and pricing. I was especially pleased that they were able to fit me into their schedule, as I needed the panel upgrade in order to avoid having to go to the laundromat(!). I would recommend them to anyone looking for electricians in the SF Bay Area.

Stop looking for electricians and reach out to Saul and Daniel now! It is a great team! We did a decent size project with them: we rewired some old knob and tubes wiring throughout 80% of our house. They came to scope the work on a Thursday, gave me the quote in the evening and got a the job done the following week from start to finish in 5 days. Communication was easy, they minimized the amount of holes as much as possible and they clean up after them. I will definitely use them again and I already recommended them to a couple people.

Responded quickly and helped us get done what we needed to get done. Thank you Saul and Daniel.
Saul and Daniel are amazing! Our project was not an easy one as this is an old house with eccentric features. It required a certain amount of creativity for them to determine the best way to install the wiring. I watched in admiration as the two of them figured it all out quickly, moved forward efficiently and produced a terrific result. I am so grateful that they are the skilled workers who responded quickly to our electrical needs, priced their work fairly, and did it all with a great deal of warmth and grace. We had been pretty stressed out about our problem and they immediately made us realize we were in good hands. Now we know who to call the next time we have an electrical need!
Saul was quick, responsible, reliable, and affordable. He was able to complete our project the next day and was easy to work with. Thanks Saul!

helped fix a fuse and our hot tub. fast response and good work!
Saul and his brother came quickly to do an estimate, gave a very fair price for their work, and were responsive to my texts. They came the following day to complete the project and everything looked great when they left. I would not hesitate to use them again! Thank you, Saul and Daniel!
I've used Bay Area twice in the last month, and am very pleased. They are extremely responsive, do excellent work, and are quite competitively-priced. I highly recommend them and am likely to use them again.
Saul and his brother Denny (sorry if I misspelled) were great! They responded to my request quickly and were able to fit me into their schedule basically same day. They were meticulous and able to solve a problem a previous electrician missed. They even stayed after they fixed it to make sure they had solved the issue correctly. We have been looking for an electrician for a while and they are now my go to team.

Saul was quick to respond and was able to give me a quote after I took a few photos of the work I needed doing. His prices were definitely cheaper than other folks who I was getting quotes from. Saul and his associate arrived on time and started work immediately (also on a weekend which was a huge plus for me). They estimated the work would be done in ~2h and I am happy to say they completed the job in around ~1h. In addition, they cleaned everything up including vacuuming the area. Saul and associate were very professional and tidy. I would recommend them for another job.
I had a problem with flickering lights and losing electricity. Saul and his assistant came to take a look and gave me a advice and gave me a good quote. They could work right away and replace the bad part of breaker and gave me a dedicated power line for the room. And they also replace my old garage lights. Thank you guys for great work. I appreciate it.
Quick to respond in the morning, and while it was not an emergent fix, they did their best to fit me in the same day.

They did an awesome job with their initial checks prior to getting me an estimate and they delivered their services promptly and professionally
Miguel installed a 220v outlet in my garage. He was responsive, arrived on time, did the work efficiently, and for a reasonable price. Highly recommended!
Very responsive, diagnosed a light switch problem that confused another electrician. Good customer service and fair pricing.
Very responsive and professional service. I asked for help on Yelp with my range's circuit breaker as soon as possible and Bay Area Electric immediately offered me a 7:30am appointment the following morning. I ended up having to change my plans through no fault of theirs but will definitely contact Bay Area Electric again in the future given how well they responded to my initial request.

Saul's employee was great, came in on time, went above and beyond and fixed things that were broken/dangerous that we were not aware of. Really appreciate their professionalism and great price.
Efficient, friendly and knowledgeable. 220 volt dryer outlet had no electricity and they replaced breaker box same day. I messaged Bay Area electric this morning, they were at my place later in the day. Took less than 5 minutes to diagnose, they replaced and also explained. Great service!
Bay Area Electric installed a new pendant light as a replacement for a chandelier in our dining area. Communicated with Saul through text and was able to agree on an estimate- responses were quick. Saul and his associate were early to the appointment, friendly, and efficient. Would recommend and hire again!
I sent quotations to install the Tesla Wall Charger through Yelp and Saul is a few of the electricians that responded right away. Contacted him and provided the pictures of the locations of where I wanted to install and Saul get back to me with the price immediately. I took his offered and arranged the installation in 2 days, which Saul came with his lovely wife on Sunday to installed the charger. What a lovely couple and kind persons they are. I highly and strongly recommends to utilizes their services and will definitely use them for my future electrical needs in my house. Installation is very neat and professionally. Thank you again for your service and keep up the great works...
