The switch to our garbage disposal stopped working suddenly (though the garbage disposal itself worked fine). They determined that the breaker had gone bad and replaced everything within 20 minutes.

Super responsive, quick, and very very good work! I called on a Tuesday afternoon with an urgent job and he came out Wednesday morning first thing.

I have used Fast Handy before and have know Edwin a long time and have never been disappointed in his work, but very disappointed to pay 485.00 to change out a GFI. I'm in the service business as well and get time and materials, but come on!! Giving 3 stars because I know Edwin, the responsiveness, and the tech, Cliff. 2 stars off for price level. Really need to reconsider what's in included, within reason in your service call!

Edwin is the man. He answered the phone quickly when I called and he was able to fit me in his busy schedule. He fixed my issue and also showed me how to DIY so I wouldn't have to call him for something simple. Great service and he was in and out in 30 minutes. I highly recommend Fast Handy Electric.

Today, Edwin and his brother upgraded my sub panel to a new one with tons more space. They arrived on time and quickly got the project started.

The old panel was removed, wiring cleaned up, drywall opened, and new panel installed. The installation was done proper, to code and looks CLEAN!

I also requested adding a breaker+wire conduit for a future Tesla EV charger, which was no problem for Edwin and bro.

Fast Handy Electric is the best, and I highly highly recommend them for your electrical needs. Okay, so next Review Update will be when we install solar in 2021!

They were fast to come and fixed a circuit issue that caused lightbulbs to die very frequently. Tried one of their competitors and the problem still existed so I gave them a chance. They did such an amazing job!

I had an electrical issue on a Saturday. After calling several electricians, I found this company. They came out quickly and resolved the electrical problem. I was very relieved that I didn't have to wait until Monday for an electrician to come out. I would have been without heat/AC which wouldn't have been ideal if there were any weather extremes. I am happy that they fixed the issue promptly.

We had the pleasure of working with Fast Handy when we bought our new house last November, and basically had to rewire the whole thing to remove old knob and tube wiring. They were very professional and very fast. They were good about working with us to decide what we need, and very flexible adjusting and updating things as the project evolved. Their work was high quality, and the very few times something was installed slightly off, they were very prompt in repairing the issue once it was noticed. They deserve some special thanks, because they put in some extra hours towards the end of the project, to try and make sure they wrap up near the originally estimated date, when it was clear from the onset that the estimations were just that, uncertain estimations.

We'll definitely work with them again in the future for all our electrical needs.

Our place of business developed an electrical fault which killed power to almost half of our studio. Despite my years of experience with telephone company electrical power systems I was unable to locate the fault in this old buildings wiring. Enter Edwin Sanchez, CEO of Fast Handy Electric. After a short evaluation of the problem he decided it would be best to return near our close of business so that he could remove all power and locate the exact location of the fault. Within 30 minutes he had the problem located and repaired! Amazing skills, work ethics, and quality! Edwin brings many years of electrical experience which shows in his work. His father taught him well and his schooling only made him that much better. I have always been very hard to please. Edwin not only pleased me but impressed me immensely! I can't recommend Edwin and Fast Handy Electric highly enough. We are even having them do work at our home that my health issues have put off for about 5 years because I didn't trust anyone but myself to do the kind of quality work that I demand and expect!

I found FHE on yelp. Very fast to respond. Very friendly when they arrived. My job was to simply install 2 20amp runs from front of house to the rear.

Guy left and said he would get me a quote within the next day or so.

Quote came next day. Reasonable price. I didn't use them but very professional and knowledgeable. Giving good review on service alone

When the company name has fast on it...the service was definitely FAST! Edwin was great, super friendly and easy to talk to. Of course the price was very affordable & reasonable.

I will definitely bring Edwin back to install things for me.

Literally just like the name says - fast and handy. They were the first to respond to my inquiry, came out the same day, and fixed the majority of my problems within an hour.

I'm a new homeowner and I've never called an electrician before. I'm pretty DIY and started taking apart all the outlets to replace in my house. When i broke a copper wire i knew i needed help.

Ariel came and looked at the situation and said this was common in older homes which made me feel good he's seen this before. I really appreciated his approach to show me what he was doing, why he was doing it, and what not to do. I highly recommend him!

Called this morning and Clifford immediately came out to diagnose and fix an issue we were having where one of our bedrooms lost power. He implemented a quick fix and went to the store immediately to get parts for a permanent fix. I found fast handy electric on Yelp and am so glad I went with them due to the great reviews. We were able to get our issue resolved professionally and quickly. Clifford also walked us through all of the steps and options. Our puppy also loved him. Can't recommend this local business enough - they also have a 24/7 emergency service too and are insured and bonded!

Also appreciated that he called and texted and arrived within the time window we discussed. He also followed safe covid protocol and was very polite and brought shoe coverings.

At around 10:30pm on New Year's Eve we tripped the main at our house and couldn't figure out how to get the lights back on. We had company, including a whole gaggle of kids, so we were in a bit of a panic. I called over to Fast Handy Electric and they had me connected to Kelly within ten minutes!!

Kelly was going to head to our place, but while we talked on the phone my husband was able to get the lights back on. Even so, Kelly stayed on the phone for a while and explained everything, which was reassuring because we know nothing about electric and I was nervous about safety.

In summary, Kelly and the people at Fast Handy Electric are amazing human beings and the latest additions to my speed dial!

I hired Fast Handy Electric to help me reconfigure my Sense smart electricity monitor to observe my home's energy usage via the 400A split service main panel. The Sense monitor can only read two sets of sensor leads at a time, but my panel is more of a 200-100-100 split, so I could only monitor two of the three subpanels at any one time.

The support team at Sense recommended that, if it were legal to do so, I could place only one set of sensor leads at the power mains in my panel, which resides on the non-serviceable meter side of my main panel. That side is not only marked as CONTAINS NO SERVICEABLE PARTS but also has a twisted wire through the bolt securing the panel that serves as a tamper indicator.

Though I am perfectly cable of opening that side of the panel myself, I was not prepared to accept any liability for having done so. Hence, I hired an electrician, more for the licensure/insurance than for the help.

Edwin (the business owner) was properly masked and very friendly, and we discussed my options after he had had a look at the panel configuration. As I feared, PG&E can fine someone for tampering with the meter side of an electrical panel, so getting permission beforehand would be the safest way to proceed if we were to do that. However, Edwin has installed several Sense monitors before mine, and he had a better idea.

Edwin was able to take the wires from both 100A subpanels (two each) and fit two wires of identical polarity within each sensor clamp, causing Sense to monitor it as a single 200A circuit. The configuration was an extremely tight fit in the box, but it did fit and completely works! No need to worry about PG&E now -- I can fully monitor my home's electricity usage from the serviceable side of the panel.

I would be glad to use Fast Handy Electric for my electrical needs in the future.

Phenomenal service start to finish. Contacted them via the Yelp app and they responded promptly. Busy time of year and understood when they said may have to wait a day or two for an appt. Called and spoke to Kelly and he had a tech ask for a picture of our electrical panel. They contacted me today and had a cancellation. Woo hoo! Owner Edwin and his brother arrived on time. Mask and super respectful. Fixed two faulty outlets and a defective circuit breaker on our panel. Quick diagnosis as he really knows his stuff. Everything fixed in first visit. Delighted with service. Pricing was totally fair and worth every penny for this QUALITY service. Super impressed start to finish. Highly recommended!!

I contacted multiple electricians when I smelled burning smoke from an outlet. Fast Handy was the only one available to send someone out the same day. Their electrician showed up about and 2 hours past the window, which was ok since this was a last minute service call and the office did call me to let me know he was running late.

To make a long story short, the electrician left an hour later without getting to the root of the problem because he was feeling very sick. He told me he would come back the following day to finish the job but he did not show up the following day. I called the office and was told he called in sick and they were not sure when he would return.

I immediately started panicking because the electrician did not wear a mask the entire time he was inside my house. When he arrived at my house he told me he was vaccinated so he didn't need to wear one even though I told him that I have an elderly mom with compromised immune system. He only told me he had a bad headache all day after he spent an hour in my house.

He was a nice guy but I was very upset that he chose not to wear a mask when he wasn't feeling well all day. I was mad at myself for not insisting that he wear one. Luckily I had my mask on the entire time and had my mom stay at my sister's until my covid test results came back negative.

I ended up going with another electrician to finish the job because they could not tell me when they would be able to send someone else out.

I lost power to the all my wall outlets in half the house. Cliff came out from Fast Handy the day of my call and diagnosed and replaced my faulty gfci - problem solved! I also had him replace a dimmer switch that was failing on me and he was able to pull that from the truck. Highly recommended.

Exactly as the name says: Fast and Handy!

The electricity stopped working in the morning of a desperately hot holiday weekend.

We Found this fellow in Yelp, sent a message and included our phone number to shorten the time for communicating our problem.

The guy who arrived a few hours later (a Saturday on a long weekend) was smart, experienced and very quickly determined that a faulty-wired safety socket in the bathroom was closing down everything down the continued line.

Btw A socket like that is not supposed to have any other connections down the line! It's been like that for 22 years!

Anyway once he expertly diagnosed the issue, he took care of it all. Absolutely awesome and we are so grateful he had time for us.

What a pro!!

If EVER you have electrical problems in your residence call Edwin Of Fast Handy and no one else!! Everyone talks the talk but his company delivers!

I had total blackout for a month and I called many a electricians who said work can be done but for me to get the permits and when I do, the work can be scheduled months away. NOT Edwin! He said I do this all the time and he arranged the permits and work to be done on replacing my crippled PG&E smart meter within days!!!

Edwin and his crew ( and even the VP of the company) came out and took care of business and had us up and running!!

Go no where else for your electrical needs....Edwin and his crew walk the walk!!

I sent messages to several electricians on YELP, and Fast Handy responded very quickly, and their rates were the most reasonable. I spoke to Kelley, who does the scheduling and he provided excellent customer service on the phone, and scheduled my install of 9 different lights (dining room, pendant, sconces, and ceiling fans).

He told me that Edwin would do an excellent, professional job, and he did. He was very knowledgeable and efficient, and all my lights were installed perfectly and look great! I'm very pleased with their work and recommend them highly to anyone looking for a good electrician.

We needed additional electrical outlets in our older Santa Clara home... We put this project off for years - even with breakers tripping, RV electrical meltdowns, running on too many extension cords and power strips - what an unsafe mess!

Finally we called around for quotes and selected Fast Handy Electric based on their customer service, time to deliver and a very good price. We were not disappointed...

Kelley, Edwin and Armando (the Guys) came to our rescue...

Our RV now has a dedicated 30 amp outlet, the yard now has an outlet for leaf blower, etc... The appliances in the outdoor kitchen can all be used at the same time and will never again trip the breaker - not to mention our inside kitchen now has additional outlets for safety and on both sides of the room! We also have a new nifty garbage disposal button right on the sink that uses air to start incinerating - didn't even know that existed!

Additional power added to the living room for all of the TV associated gizmos, and safety GFIs in all bathrooms and kitchens. All of this was installed in less than 12 hours over 2 days.

The Guys are knowledgeable in their trades; fast and thorough; clean; polite and also fix related items that are broken, like the dishwasher air gap.

I know we're now the only older Santa Clara home owners that suffer from aged electrical issues. If you're still putting up with the same frustrations we were - it's time to call Fast Electric. If not, we have plenty of unused and unneeded extension cords and power strips if anyone needs one.

We burned out our breaker on the day before Christmas Eve. Called Fast Handy that morning, and they had an electrician come out that same afternoon. When he arrived, he put on foot socks before entering the house due to the rain-soaked sidewalk. Showed him our breaker box and and left him to do his work. The faulty breaker was inspected and replaced in rapid fashion. Definitely fast and handy.

All of the positive reviews are well deserved. I had a problem with my main circuit breaker that knocked the power out of the entire house. They arrived within half hour, and sent text updates of their arrival time while enroute. The technician resolved the issue very quickly, and spent some time assisting me with additional questions regarding my receptacles in an old house. He went above and beyond by not just doing the work but explaining the work to me. It's clear that he's passionate about his work. Such type of service is hard to find these days.

Kristi M.

09/05/2020 12:00:00 SA

Wow! Probably the best experience with a service professional EVER! My husband and I were watching tv on a Saturday and smelled a burning electrical smell. And sure enough one of our outlets was melting! Pretty scary to think of what could have happened if left unaddressed! We found Fast Handy Electric through Yelp and they answered our call while out at another job. Within an hour they showed up and fixed the problem. Completely reasonable rates especially considered it's a holiday weekend. Not only did they fix the problem, they were super knowledgeable on why it happened and what other things to potentially look into. The owner on his way out spotted a few other little things and was fixing things that we didn't even ask to be fixed. We will absolutely use them again and spread the word!!! Thank you so much!

If I could give Edwin 10 stars, I would. Our AC went out on the hottest day of the year, when I had family coming into town! I called an HVAC repairman, who came by and said the problem was in the wiring and told me I needed an electrician. It was after 7 PM, but Edwin stopped by my place on his way home and almost immediately was able to diagnose a problem the AC repairman had overlooked. Crisis averted! Edwin's polite, friendly, family oriented and doesn't try to bulls- his way through if he doesn't know an answer. HIGHLY recommend!

Fast Handy did a phenomenal job on our project, which included installing a new panel, and I could not recommend them more. Kelly was responsive, prompt and his whole team was incredibly professional while going above and beyond in their work at a very competitive price. I'll no doubt be using Fast Handy again for any electrical work in the future.

Michael H.

Edwin came out upgraded my federal pacific electric sub panel. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and loved his work! He charged me a very reasonable priced compared to many other companies. And he also did not pressure me to upgrade things that I don't need.
I would highly recommend and would love to have him come back to work on any electrical issues I have.

Clifford helped me with a ceiling fan installation. He was very professional, came on time and installed it very quickly.

Fast handy electric responded to my call over the weekend, and scheduled an appointment the very next day. Overall had a positive experience and would highly recommend them.,

Got a hold of Fast Handy electric to look into replacing an unsafe outdoor outlet that was installed by the previous home owner.

Their quote was competitive, and the fact that they were very responsive to my questions made me go with them. Their work was great, clean and quick and had the patience to answer a bunch of my random questions. I highly recommend them. I'm planning to have them take care of other electrical stuff around my home.

2/18/2021

We called for their service. Their electrician came and fixed one minor issue. But opened main panel for no reason and while closing damaged wire which caused big sparks after some time. It was scary experience, felt like our house will be set on fire.
Had to call them back and also PG&E to sort & fix the issue. Owner himself came and fixed the issue and promised to send report next day.. it is now over week and nothing received yet. They are prompt and but reactive ... definitely not worth $250 per hour. Especially electrician who caused the issue.. started blaming our old panel which never had issue.

Becky M.

3/28/2021

Needed minor work done on our electrical panel. These guys were fast and followed Covid protocol. Guy was wearing a mask and was very careful, clean and considerate. Did a quick and efficient job. We would definitely use these folks again. Very happy to find businesses like this that you can rely on who do good work.

Roger M.

5/14/2020

Edwin and his crew at Fast Handy Electric did a couple of jobs for us. One job was to route new wiring and install a 240 VAC electrical outlet in the back bedroom. The second was to install 2 outdoor outlets and a switch onto a gazebo that we had just installed in our backyard patio.

Fast Handy Electric did a very good job. They are efficient, courteous and knowledgeable. They use high quality materials. Both jobs were performed quickly, within 2 days of the initial quote. Their price is very competitive.
I highly recommend Fast Handy Electric.

Tony G.

6/29/2021

An electrician that answers the phone and actually shows up? Is that a real thing? YES!

I was able to get a same-day appointment to have a burnt out outlet looked at and replaced. Clifford (the NICEST guy!) showed up and got the job done quickly. He was also able to give me an estimate on a panel upgrade that we will definitely be hiring Fast Handy Electric to do for us.

15/10 would recommend again. I've found my new go-to for any electrical work I'm going to need in the future.

Stefan W.

6/18/2021

We worked with Clifford and Kelley. Kelley helped us remotely on our AC unit that saved us a lot of trouble. Clifford came to our house to perform an inspection. The interactions with both were great as far as responsiveness, explaining every step of the way and making sure that our needs were met.

Man I had a great experience with these guys today! These guys are NOT money hungry people. They provide great service at a reasonable price. I live in San Jose in a condominium, my wife and I moved in about 8 months ago still getting familiar with the place. We had an issue with the doorbell box inside, down the hallway where it was making a loud sound all of the sudden today for hours and it never made that sound before!

I typed in electrician in Yelp and saw these guys were 5 star and quick, so I gave them a call. Luckily the GM Kelly answered the phone and helped me out. Instead of charging a couple hundred dollars and sending someone out for no reason, he decided to save me time and money and help me over the phone for FREE!

He could have easily handled this different. Instead he gave me his personal number where I sent him a video of what was going on, he viewed the video and quickly diagnosed. He instructed me what to do over the phone simply and easy within a couple minutes the problem was solved! Free of charge, very professional, and its clear their goal is to help people and help people fast. Of course for a bigger job or something that cant be done easily they'll do the course like any normal company would, but what I really appreciated was they did not try to milk me for cash instead they were practical and legitimately wanted to help me, and at least tried over the phone and it was successful!

If I ever have any needs in the future I'm calling these guys, they are definitely the Good Fellas.

Great experience with this company today. They were able to do a same day visit - with fair pricing. Gabe was helpful, knowledgeable, tidy and friendly.

We asked Fast Handy Electric to come for a free quote. Our home was built in the 60's and needed a lot of electrical work. Kelley came in and was excellent, very knowledgable, friendly, open to all of our questions. We appreciate how he didn't push for specific/additional services (like how some other electrical companies we've spoken with did) and took the time to discuss how we could make our home safer while trying to fit our budget. The estimate was emailed to us by the following day. We loved how everything was itemized and included details for what we've discussed, what Fast Handy specifically can do and cannot do (e.g. they do not do drywall repair, but have companies that they work with). I'm guessing they're very busy since we left voicemails on a Thursday and Friday and didn't hear back until the following Monday, but I still give 5/5 for the great experience with Kelley and since we were in no rush.

In San Jose, last night around 6 pm we discovered our Master Bedroom and Bath were without electricity. The breaker had blown. Wouldn't reset. Looked on Yelp for 24 hr. electrician with 5 stars and found a great electrician who was here by 7 PM. Yes, it was slightly expensive but worth it. He couldn't find problem last night in 2 hours. He narrowed it down. Oh, affected the furnace/AC too.

Back this morning and Clifford said that he woke up at 4 AM thinking about where the problem was. He checked every plug in 2 rooms, hallway and bathroom as well as crawl space. Finally found the problem. Very simple to fix once he found it. Was punctual, went the extra mile and was very pleasant.

The company is Fast Handy Electric-888-481-3335.

Work was handled by a different electrician but Handy reached to find out why we went with other business. He was well mannered and wanted to improve his customer service; A wise choice. I explained it all came down to money during Covid income is limited, he understood.

We had a power outage last night and when the powder came back, several of our outlets didn't resume functioning correctly. Fast Handy Electric is the perfect name for this business. Mr. Sanchez was able to come in the same day we called him. He gave us a 30 minute windows and arrived right on time... with a mask on! Big plus! He was kind and effective. He came right in and took care of our problem very fast. He also saw that one of my vents (completely unrelated to the service call) was lose. He asked if I had a stole and even took care of that. After he left my 8 year old said, I like that electrician. He seems like a good man. Kids know! If you are looking for fast and trustworthy service, call Mr. Sanchez. His customer service was also top notch. Thank you, Mr. Sanchez!

Lots of good reasons for a 5 star review - prompt communication, honest billing - he actually billed less than his quote when he realized the work was less than he quoted, showed up on time and did the work quickly and delivered high quality work. Will definitely be a repeat customer.

8/15/2020

Edwin and his team offer a truly 5 star service. They helped set up our home network, with a combination of fiber, copper cabling, and 3 point WiFi, in record time. They also coordinated the trenching needed to pass new conduits and re-wired the garage.

All of this with permits. Highly recommend.

Irene E.

Even though it was the first day of his vacation, Kelley came out to replace my porch light fixture and check another outdoor light fixture to make sure it was safe. He wore a face mask, was extremely courteous and pleasant, and very professional. I wanted a certified electrician for peace-of-mind, to make sure the job was done right, with no concerns about safety. I highly recommend Fast Handy Electric for doing your electrical work, for home or business.

I gave Edwin a call regarding some questions about portable generators in case of an emergency and he was extremely friendly, personable, and helpful over the phone. He was willing to chat with me and answer all my questions, while being direct, open and honest - everything you're looking for when dealing with someone for these types of jobs. I'll be coming back to Edwin for anything if I need him and will absolutely recommend him to friends and family who may be looking for some help in the San Jose area.

8/19/2020

Getting on the schedule was a bit of a challenge, but they were very responsive and once it came time for the appointment the technician (Edwin) showed up following appropriate safety precautions and installed a number of smart switches very quickly. He also fixed some bad wiring that resulted from my own prior attempts to handle it. Price was very fair!

Edward S.

05/03/2020 12:00:00 SA

Edwin is a lifesaver! We called him on Sunday night at 10:15PM and he came out to Fremont to fix our circuit breaker! He was very nice and professional. His price was reasonable, especially when we called him unexpectedly. I recommend Edwin for a service you don't want to pass up!

My parents needed a new exhaust fan installation in their downstairs bathroom and I am SO glad I came across fast handy electric! They were able to drop by the same day for a free quote and installed the day after! The install was a laborious one but these guys tackled it down with ease. My parents were extremely pleased with their quality of work and professionalism that my dad kept bugging me to write them a 5 star review ASAP haha. I would definitely reach out to them in the future for electric needs.

Edwin is a very reliable electrician! My house needed a new switch for our chandelier in our dining room and Edwin and his brother got it done within minutes. The other problem was that part of the house had no power even though the outlets had power going to them. Edwin spent about an hour and half looking into the problem by going under the house, taking out all the outlets etc. Edwin finally had an idea that it was a bad connection coming from a light above our sink. The problem was then fixed! Since our house is over 40 years old, the wiring is different than the modern homes from what Edwin stated. My dad and I were very pleased at the service as Edwin and his brother busted their asses off for us! Overall the price was really reasonable and Edwin will be our main electrician for years to come!

Fast Handy Electric lives up to it's name and more. I had an emergency situation and Edwin, the owne, came out within several hours and diagnosed and fixed the problem. I am impressed with his knowledge. He explained what the problem was and how he would fix it. He is very professional. Polite and efficient in getting the task done timely. In addition his rates are competitive and very reasonable considering this was an emergency. (The air conditioner technician could not figure out why the unit was not working and told me to call an electrician... air temp at that time was high 90's.) Edwin diagnosed the problem accurately. The air conditioning company followed his correct diagnosis.

I reached out to Edwin (owner) at Fast Handy Electric for emergency electric work. He was very responded immediately. He told me it would be $200 for any work. I had many things which needed repair. He arrived at my home right away and did all repairs. In addition, he said he would return the following week to help me with an electric pump for my water fountain. He said he would order the part and return to install at no charge!!! My husband had been looking for a speciality light bulb and couldn't find it anywhere. Edwin said he knew where to find it. Thank you Edwin for going above and beyond. If you need an electrician call Edwin!! I am so grateful and thankful we found him. Can I give ten stars ??? A million thanks!

This was the worst service i have ever received. I got ripped off by spending $425 to fix one outlet. I had multiple issues and The tech that came out spent 3 hours just to give me general advice on what could be wrong ( he didnt even go under the house or attic) and then charged me $250 service call and $175 to fix 1 outlet. Total rip-off and the manager patronized me over the phone when i wanted an explanation. Ugh. So frustrating.

Edwin was amazing! He found the issue, explained the issue, showed me the issue, then fixed it.

We called them on a Sunday, as we had an intermittent issue that had gotten much worse: Everything made the lights flicker and the power drop. They were out within the hour, and fixed it quickly.

Edwin's troubleshooting skills and mindset are top notch: He came up with an initial diagnosis, TESTED his diagnosis, and determined that it was actually a different issue. Many places would have just gone with their first idea, and we would still have been broken, so I'm extremely impressed.

As one might expect, a Sunday service call was more expensive, but it was still a lot cheaper than another company that I called--and very reasonable--and they helped me work through whether or not we could wait. We weren't comfortable waiting, so out they came, and we will sleep better tonight!

fast and efficient service. Edwin showed up and analyzed the situation quickly. he fixed the three way switch quickly and tightened the loose outlet.

he requested $25 more than the quote that i signed because he needed to take part of the drywall apart to pass the cable through.

Called Edwin about electrical problems came out with in 40 minutes after I called. He is friendly and very knowledgeable knows what he is doing. Got PG&E to come out the same day. Edwin came back the next day & Edwin talked to the tech on the phone & he found a burnt wire in inverter box for my solar system. His workers are very friendly & takes their time to check your system. Awesome company. I highly recommend!!

I was scared to call an electrician to fix the wiring in our detached garage so I delayed calling someone for a couple years. We inherited a maze of wires when we bought this house and I could not figure out what was wrong. I finally called Fast Handy Electric and was asked to text my address. Next think I know, they texted that they will show up in 20-25 minutes! Edwin arrived and made the scary process I had in my mind so easy and helpful. You can feel the passion he has for what he does and helping people and making sure everything is safe. He was like an electrical surgeon troubleshooting the issue and fixing it quickly. I can not tell you how happy I am to have found Edwin and Fast Handy Electric! I am so happy and have a peace of mind now that our garage is up and running again! I will definitely reach out again when needed!

I called a couple of top rated companies to quote a set of small tasks. The first said it'd be 5 or so weeks. Fast Handy said, sure, we'll get you taken care of. I felt like I was most valuable customer right from the start. The same day I asked for the quote Kelley came by and did a walk through. Less than an hour later I had a quote in my inbox. I felt it was fair and competitive - especially since I wouldn't be waiting weeks for the work to begin. That is absolutely worth something to me as well. Within 36 hours of accepting the quote, they had one of their finest at my house in the morning to get started. He made sure to understand the intent of each task such that I was confident he could operate unattended. When questions (or suggestions) came up, he brought them to my attention. The work was done efficiently and professionally. Nothing but good things to say about each of the tasks completed - plus the whole job finished a bit faster than I thought it would.

There was a problem I discovered after the electrician left however. All of the power in my downstairs bathrooms was out! I knew it had to do with something that was worked on though those rooms weren't ones that had work done. Thirty minutes after contacting the company the owner himself, Edwin, was in the house troubleshooting. It didn't take long for him to find a loose wire cap in one of the new switch panels down the hall that was causing the problem. This also went far faster than I imagined it would. In addition Kelley followed up with phone calls to be sure things went well through the day.

These guys really care about each job and the quality of their work. They are serious about correcting any issues that arise - in a very timely manner. I definitely recommend them to myself for future work and anyone else that will listen.

I was able to schedule an appointment right away to have additional coax cable installed in two rooms. The cable was run in the crawl space and he was quick and efficient. Very professional and was able to finish before the carpet people we had coming in that morning.I would definitely recommend for any wiring jobs.

I got up last Sunday morning and my all bathroom plugs were not working. I called First Handy Electric and explained my problem. Edwin Sanchez understood my problem and arrived at my home to work on the problem in 25 minutes. Just outstanding for 8:30 am on a Sunday morning. Turns out a GFI plug had gone bad and Edwin replaced it with a new one from his truck. I feel I received EXCELLENT service from First Handy Electric and Edwin Sanchez. I will use him for all my future home electrical needs.

Spoke with David, setup an appt and was hoping he could get the job done at the same time.
I arrived early for the appointment and waited, 20min after our appt time I texted him and he replied that he couldn't make the appt. He didnt even try to reschedule, just said I'm not going to make it. I had to leave work early to make this appointment too!
Be careful w folks who can't meet appt times and responds with no effort.

I had a bunch of electrical things to take care of in my home. Edwin responded to my request immediately and came out really quickly. He was polite and professional. He pays attention to details and makes sure everything is taken care of. He also makes good suggestions and listens to your needs. I would recommend him to anyone who needs any electrical related help.

We called Fast Handy Electric to fix our recessed lights and they scheduled the visit on the next day. Gabe arrived on time and helped us to diagnose the issue and fix the broken switch pretty fast. It only took them 10 min to get everything done. It was a great experience!

Excellent service! My power suddenly went out, switched the breakers, nothing worked. Called Edwin and he came out and fixed the problem! From the time I called him to the time he finished the job, it was less than 45 minutes! Wonderful customer service, would give more than 5 stars if I could!

Edwin & his team are AMAZING!! We needed help running cables for WIFI in our new clinic. But we needed to do it at night so we wouldn't disturb our patients. I talked to Edwin in the morning, he came back the same night at 8pm after we closed and finished the job in less than hour. He was professional, clean, and quick. I couldn't recommend them more! On top of that, Edwin's a super nice guy :-)

I was so disappointed with Fast Handy. I really wanted to like Edwin. He came out to look at the job and I was really hopeful, as he offered me what seemed like really good cost options . We're a very small non-profit so I was grateful. He said he'd return the following Tuesday to take a more extensive look, but never showed up. I sent him a text and he asked if he could get back to me. He never did. So, then I called him and he said he couldn't talk because he was in a staff meeting. I asked him to call me after that, and he didn't. Super unprofessional. Just tell me up front that you don't want the job. I can handle that, but ghosting me? Totally unprofessional.

7/13/2020

We were in a tough situation with a washing machine delivery in the morning and I could not figure out how to put 2 new type plugs in the laundry room correctly. I called around and Edwin was the only one who would respond quickly. He was supper busy but said if I couldn't get anyone he would get by my house on his way home. After a very long day for him, and true to his word he came by (with mask) and fixed our electrical problem promptly. I highly recommend Fast Handy Electric and will work with them in the future with any of our electrical needs!

Lost power due to a circuit break and had to call them immediately. So grateful for you being able to help me and my grandparents! Clearly following COVID regulations! I appreciate it! I have been down here because I am taking care of them and the fact you came out so quick was great. I couldn't be happier! Also, with them being older, the COVID-19 restrictions being followed really made me feel so much better about allowing them into their house today!

STOP searching!! INTEGRITY is the first word that comes to mind with Edwin (Owner). 1000 % impressed with his knowledge, his professionalism, his explanation of the problems, fair pricing. After searching and messaging several Electricians, two of whom never showed up for our appointment, what a breath of fresh air with Edwin. We will most DEFINITELY call Edwin for any future electrical needs. Stop the headache and call Edwin

We were having intermittent problems with the ceiling fan. They came out to look at it. The solution was something we could take care of ourselves, so there was no charge. Very pleasant and personable.

I sent the request on yelp and Edwin (owner) called me in 5 minutes. He came in the same and quickly identified the broken wire and get it to fix. The price he charged is very reasonable as well. He is the best!

We lost power in some of our outlets and found Fast Handy Electric on Yelp. We setup time with Edwin the owner for 5pm but he ended up being able to come earlier than expected! Edwin was a pleasure to work with, professional and quick! He took his shoes off when he got in the house and even came back to double check an outlet for us the next day. Edwin practiced social distancing and wore a mask during his visit to our home. He also made it clear that he would not touch our personal belongings due to COVID-19 regulations, so thoughtful! We will be calling Edwin if we experience electrical issues again and I recommended him to my mother and found out that's her electrician too. Small world! Thanks Edwin

Fast Handy Electric is the real deal. We had a serious troubleshooting problem with some wiring that was not up to code. Half of our kitchen was out. All lights, appliances, and outlets. We had two different electricians come out and could not figure out the problem! Leave it to the team at Fast Handy... Edwin (the owner) came by and found and fixed the problem within an hour and half. He fixed the problem with extreme attention to detail and care. Fast Handy cares about doing your electrical work properly without cutting corners.

The lights in my garage went dark a couple of days ago but turned on again the next morning only to turn off again as the day went on. Other lights on the same circuit breaker, however, continued to work normally. Clifford came within a couple of hours of my calling Fast Handy Electric. After checking the circuit breaker box for any issues, he proceeded to go into the attic space and tighten all the connections in the junction boxes where the problem was occurring. This fixed the problem. (It must have been over 100F in the attic area.) He later explained to me that years of thermal cycling can cause connections to loosen and cause problems. I appreciate his experience, troubleshooting skills and dedication. I can highly recommend Fast Handy Electric and will call them again.

I could write a long story about our emergency, but I will do it short and to the point - it was one of the best services! Why?
#1 - Prompt. Edwin was the only one (comparing to other companies where we had to leave the VM) who picked up a phone and talked to us. He and David came to our house on the same day in the afternoon.
#2 - Professional. The guys quickly assessed the damage and situation, offered the solution and an estimate.
#3 - QUALITY. David and Edwin came the next day in the morning, changed the blown up electric panel to the new one. It's just one sentence, but it means A LOT of work, including cutting the wall for the new dimensions and patching the same wall, so in the end, it looks like nothing ever happened here.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

I am truly pleased with Fast Handy Electric, and they are true to their name. I called for assistance on Sunday evening, and Monday morning Edwin showed up, and solved the problem and had it fixed in 30 minutes. I put this company in a category of a business that you can rely on and that does great work. Added bonus, Edwin loves dogs and my dog Rosie gives her approval too.

A couple weeks delayed on this review, but I have to say Kelley and Edwin are awesome! I called with an urgent ask for some electrical work (light fixture removal, swap and installation) to be completed in a couple days. Initially I was told they were booked out, but they ended up making time to complete the work by the date I wanted! They also came back to install one last light fixture and a few towel racks. I highly recommend Fast Handy Electric! Thank you Kelley and Edwin!!!

Edwin and his brother were great! When I initially called about an iffy switch in my kitchen, he suggested to send him a picture so he could pin-point what could be done. He came by within a few hours and fixed it, and also explained a concern he had about a plug next to the switch. He was completely honest and knowledgeable, having done this work for many years. Edwin is now my new electrician go-to, as he is the kind of guy who would go above and beyond to get the job done right, and safe! Not only is he good, he's available 24/7. Thanks Edwin!! Keep up the good work!!!

5 stars, absolutely. They came recommended by our go-to handy man and we were not disappointed. We needed some electrical work done including the installation of a whole house fan. They were professional, friendly, and efficient. I would hire them again and have recommended them to friends in the area.

So happy to have found Edwin as my go-to electrician! I requested a quote via Yelp - he responded in 10 minutes and was able to come by the next day. His pricing beat others in the area so I went with him and I'm glad I did! He changed the outlets around my house and they look great. He also has a great personality, lol. I'll definitely be using his services again in the future.

Thought this was a great company at first. But after i asked for a functioning RING doorbell.. well everything went down hill. Usually homes have one door bell not two. And asked David to come fix an unfinished project after i fixed the part that we clearly discussed he wasnt going to do which i agreed to. So i fixed that transformer but something still wasnt right. So i was assuming it was something on his end. All i wanted him to do was double check his work! So he wanted to charge me 200 for something that he left unfinished!! He speaks to his customers horribly! And got full payment the day the door bell didnt work! Having a business you are required to answer to your customers. I should figure out how to go the board and go to small claims to get my money back. The text messages say it all thanks david for your help!

Edwin and his team member Kelly did a fantastic job. On a Sunday evening, my sub panel started arking and giving out static currents. Edwin came over, diagnosed the problem and set up the appointment next morning to replace the sub panel which was an old Zinsco sub-panel. Kelly and Edwin worked for 5-6 hours and replaced the sub-panel to quality standards. Very happy with the work. Thank you.

We needed an outdoor outlet installed so we contacted Edwin. He came out to give us an estimate. In addition to the outlet, he noticed an older outdoor outlet that was not up to code and offered to replace that as well. The price was reasonable and he actually did that job that day. He was neat, clean and the job was done really well! It was a pleasure doing business with him. I highly recommend him!

Lost power in two rooms from using a space heater and my dad and I could not figure out where the fried outlet was. David and Edwin were very efficient and knowledgable , they eventually found two fried outlets in different rooms that i didn't think would be related to the bad circuit. I learned a lot watching them. Price was fair and they work late and weekends. I may ask them for quote on a new panel sub panel next.

Some outlets in my kitchen lost power this morning. I found Fast Handy Electric on yelp and called them. They walked through me the problem over the phone and gave me suggestions to right away. It turned out that there is the fix is as simple as turn off the break all the way and turn it back on. I'm very happy that the problem is fixed so quickly and they don't charge me anything! Highly recommended.

Yoga M.

10/19/2020

I don't see how I could have found a better electrician for my subpanel upgrade and outlets troubleshooting and repair. Edwin came the night before the job was scheduled to make sure he'd have everything he needed to do the work. He brought his new employee, a journeyman electrician, and they finished two hours faster than they had originally estimated. They cleaned up after themselves, and I'm very happy with my repaired outlets and new subpanel. I'd recommend Fast Handy Electric to anyone who asks.

I had a problem with the lights flickering in my home. Called a reputable electrician, who came out to my home and indicated that it was a light fixture in the bathroom. Suggest I buy another light fixture and they would install it. Which they did, I asked if that was the problem and they said yes. WRONG!!!! The flickering lights continued until Finally I called Fast Handy. They came out and immediately found that the problem was in the panel, one of the circuit breakers was hot and loose. No hesitation, problem fixed. Theses guys were awesome, I fact they also installed new smoke alarms in my home.
They are extremely professional and it was a pleasure to have them in my home. I highly recommend this company. They are now in my phone book.

Rae-Anne Y.

7/25/2020

Edwin was very responsive and was able to fix my issue on the same day. He is professional, friendly and does the job as if he's doing it on his own home. The original plan to the issue didn't work out, but he came with a solution! Because my experience was so positive, I asked him to quote me a small project while was there and he made recommendations to my original thought that were very helpful!

I recently moved in with my boyfriend and at his house there is a notorious outlet that never works and everyone has given up hope on it. I consider myself pretty good at home improvements so I thought it would be an easy replace the outlet receptor with another one job but.... When we took off the case and old receptor it was ALL black on the walls/hole... meaning this has caught on fire before. All the wires are toasted and break off if you
Barely touch it. The ground wires and other wires were TWISTED together with no insulation and wire caps, no wonder this had caught on fire! IN my opinion, all the wires were past the point of saving. Anyways I wrap them up with electrical tape and ignore until an electrician can come next week BUT THEN ALL POWER IN THE HOUSE WENT OFF, It was already midnight and I felt so bad for my boyfriends family. although I couldn't understand just HOW I caused this. I try calling every 24 hour electrician on Yelp with no reply, and I have this grave feeling that this outlet is going to cause a fire again in our sleep, finally I call this company and they were here in 15 minutes!! And they gave the price upfront and were super patient with explaining to me what went wrong (if two wires were pushed up again the wall a BLUE SPARK would catch on fire bc the wiring from the old owners was so BAD. He solved everything and showed me the breaker and the panel and not only brought power back to the house but also replaced the outlet and the bad wiring AND safely insulated the old janky wiring with good nugs and overall our house isn't going to catch on fire anymore! Edwin is the best, and is super affordable and reasonable. He literally got out of the shower and was In bed already when I called him but he still showed up!! Super timely. Im going to hire him again

Our range was not working right before the lockdown and after weeks without an working stove finally decide enough is enough reach out to the owner. Super friendly fast response and was able to show up next morning. He was able to provide a quick fix, wearing mask and offer to put on booties. Highly recommended and will definitely doing more business with them

I called Fast Handy Electric through Yelp for repair of bathroom fan. It was a very small project, which most electricians did not want to take giving me the runaround, but Edwin and his brother came out and gladly took care of it. They did not try to oversell new fan or unnecessary projects. They offered honest service and reasonable pricing! I had a great experience working with them and would definitely use their services for any future projects. Thank you guys!

Lisa R.

What a relief! Called Fast Handy Electric and within a short amount of time Edwin and his assistant were at my door to investigate and fix our wiring issues. They were extremely capable, friendly and reasonably priced. My huband was shown the faulty wiring and they were able to fix it right away. No more flickering lights and low power in our bedrooms! I highly recommend Fast Handy Electric. They were absolutely terrific!

Victoria B.

Showed up in an hour and fixed my wiring problem that another guy made. He also fixed my fans and had all my lights up and running. He knew exactly what the other guy did wrong. I wish I had found him first and saved myself the headache and stress.

Alex H.

9/27/2020

we had a follow up issue, I thought it was related to the original issue that Edwin had fixed the week before but wasn't able to address the first time because my daughter was napping in that room. it turned out it was a seperate issue but Edwin came out free of charge, on a Saturday, to check it out. he fixed it quickly and was on his way. He also does everything with a smile and great attitude. Great guy I highly recommend.

I'm a true DIY homeowner, however, I do know my limitations. One of the jobs is electrical installation. That being said, I bought a new milling machine and air compressor that needed 220 installed in my garage. I found Edwin on yelp and gave him a call to come out and give me a bid. Edwin came to my house right away and checked out what I needed. My wife also had some lights and the plug that she wanted installed. Edwin is a fantastic electrician! He is very knowledgeable, personable, actionable and very detail oriented. While he was up in my attic running some wires he noticed that someone had left a bare hot wire exposed. He took care of that at no charge protecting me and my family from a possible attic fire. What an awesome Guy. Not only did he fix the error, he noticed that my machine in my garage didn't have adequate light so he suggested installing LED lights above my work station. So he came back the next day with all the equipment needed to install LED and had the job completed in no time at all. He is a very reasonable Electrician with regards to price. One more thing, when he was in my boys room installing the plug, he noticed one of the baseboards was loose. He came up to me and asked if I would mind if he took his power nail gun and fasten the baseboard. Edwin goes above the job. I have been looking for a good electrician for about a year. Now I'm happy to say that I have my electrician and his name is Edwin! I would highly recommend Edwin to all my family and friends. Furthermore, I will be calling Edwin back to wire my wife's new she shed. Thank you Edwin for all your good work!

I had recently purchased a house and the existing breaker panel was in dire condition and needed replacement. I took this opportunity to upgrade the service to 200A. I called around a few different companies and found Edwin from Fast Handy Electric to be the most responsive. He also gave a competitive price to replace the panel. In all, I hired Edwin to replace the panel, add grounding to numerous outlets, add ceiling lights in the bedrooms, and also installed numerous smart switches. He and his brother were fast and efficient in their work. Would highly recommend and rehire them in the future.

We contacted Edwin to relocated our electric mainline. He gave a reasonable quote and immediately provided the service. His work was clean and timely. We highly recommend him.

Our neighbors tree knocked out our power line at 10 PM on a Friday night. I called FAST Handy electric at 6 AM the next day, and they were at our house in 10 minutes. Edwin and his assistant were great people. They got the job done quickly, they were finished with what needed to be done on our end before PG&E was able to show up and reconnect power. I was very impressed with their service. I will hire them again if I have any other electrical needs.

Professional, competitive prices and respectful service. I placed a request for a bid. Within the hour they responded and after I gave them some details of the job we had arranged a day and time to fix it (same day! No begging or pleading!). They kept in contact with me before they arrived and fixed my problem without a fuss. I have to admit that I enjoyed their sense of humor as well. Put my mind at ease over the problem. Good job and they are my permanent electricians from now on.

Edwin and David are professional, responsive, friendly and honest. They take pride in their work, and follow through on all their promises. Their prices are also extremely fair. They replaced our sub-panel and fixed some issues caused by our kitchen installers. They had to make several visits to our house, and every time they were friendly and informative. Working with these guys was a pleasure.

Working with Fast Handy Electric to get the charging station installed in my home was the best decision I could've made. I got several quotes from a variety of other services but A's was the most reasonable. In terms of the total cost of installation along with getting the permit from the city, A had the lowest between the three different companies I was considering. The other companies asked for detailed photographs and a lot of additional information, but A kept the entire process simple, streamlined, and convenient for me. Would 100% recommend!

WOW Edwin came on a Saturday the same day I called. Was very knowledgeable, clean, polite and a very fair price. I will definitely will be calling Fast and Handy for any electrical work and telling family and friends.

We had an excellent experience with Fast Handy Electric. We had a partial outage and they arrived at the promised time. At the same time, PG&E was also there checking if the problem was on their end. Within a few minutes the two were able to detect the problem source. They told us that PG&E will fix the issue and if we still have a problem after that to call them as they were available on call.

I work in a school that is very old and needs a lot of TLC while upgrading and repairing the existing electrical and network infrastructures. Edwin and Martin have been there for us when we needed quality, safe work, and they are my go-to crew. I have been using Martin for a number of years for both low-voltage and mains wiring projects, and his work is always first-rate. Edwin came to work on a major remodel we had to do this Summer, and between the two of them they handled everything I could throw at them, even fixing the shoddy work of previous contractors. I would not hesitate to recommend them for clean, safe, quality electrical work done the right way!

Edwin did a fantastic job putting in a ceiling fan in my husbands home office. We have sloped ceilings and he installed it perfectly! We also needed a few new outlets. All of the work was done efficiently, quickly and with precision and at a good price. Edwin always retuned our phone calls on time and showed up to the appointments when he said he would. He was also respectful of our home and was very clean. We will definitely use Edwin again for any electrical needs as well as refer him to family and friends! Thank you Edwin!

Wow! Edwin was very professional, knowledgable, and reliable. We called him about a seemingly difficult project in our backhouse, and he was able to come out the same week and fix it in just a day! And he went above and beyond what we had asked him to do and gave us a great price for it. We will definitely be using him for all of our electrical needs in the future!

We had an electrical emergency late Friday night. I couldn't find an electrician that would come that late at night. Our regular electricians were closed and I could only leave voicemails. They opened at 7 AM in the morning. However, our refrigerator had no power and I wanted to get it fixed right away I called Fast Handy Electric and Edwin picked up the phone immediately. I explained my emergency and he told me the price. I agreed to the price and Edwin said he was on his way. AlI I had to do was text him our address. He arrived within 20 to 30 minutes,was very friendly and knowledgeable. He checked the different plug-ins that had no power and then went out to the panel. He found the problem and fixed it. He explained what had happened to us. He even reduced the price. I was extremely happy with the service and the efficiency and the kindness. I would recommend this company to anyone that needs electrical work

Needed to have some electrical lines rerouted quickly due to construction scheduling changes. I called and they gave me a preliminary quote over the phone. Once they came, they told me it would actually be cheaper to do. Work was done as explained, and I will be using them again

I had several electrical wiring problems and was readying my house for inspection and sale. I needed some competent electrical services immediately and texted Fast Handy Electric early in the morning. David Escobar and Edwin Sanchez arrived in their fully equipped service van within an hour. They quickly diagnosed and repaired several issues. I told them I was preparing for an inspection and they walked through my house, checking everything. They fixed a number of problems, that required installation of conduit and replacement of all exterior GFIs as well as a hidden junction box that had a broken ground wire. They were FAST and professional and capable.

On a Friday night I needed an electrician and after calling a number of 24 hour companies that went directly to voice mails I called Fast Handy and Edwin answered. We discussed my problem on the phone and he said he would be at my home in 45 minutes. Right on time he arrived. An hour and half later he had identified and fixed the problem. He was extremely professional and his demeanor could not have been better. He was upbeat, friendly, and kept me informed of each step he was taking. I have NEVER had such a positive experience with a contractor in my 60 years. I will use Edwin again and I will recommend my friends and family without hesitation. Lastly, if there was a way to give 10 stars I would do it in a flash. He was that good.

Edwin came to fix two old fluorescent lights in our kitchen and entryway and did a very neat and clean job of it. He also took the time to wash, re-hang and fasten our loose porch lights..I would say that Edwin of Fast handy Electric deserves alot more reviews than he has been getting since 2016. We would hire him again.

I have been working with Edwin since he started his business. Edwin bases his business on quality work and 100% customer satisfaction. Unlike other contractors (namely electricians), he came out to my house, gave me a few options and priced out what I asked. I like detailed bids as it shows me where my money is going. Since Edwin is an honest guy, he has no problem showing you exactly what you are spending your money on and why. Also, he gives you a very fair price for his work so you feel like he values your business. Lastly, Edwin is a man of integrity and stands behind his work. Recently, some work that his team had done wasn't quite what I had wanted. Even though Fast Handy had already been paid, Edwin came out personally and made sure that the work was done to what I had requested.

Thank you Edwin for running a great business and I hope this review helps you to continue to succeed!

Edwin Sanchez worked fast, clean and efficiently to finish the job on time! He met my price and showed me his license and insurance. I will refer him to my friends and Family and I recommend him to our Yelp readers.

Edwin came to check everything out, repaired everything the same day, and charged a very affordable price. He is very honest and I will definitely use him for my future needs. I'm recommending him to my neighbors and friends.

For anyone who is afraid of getting ripped off by technicians (as I am) - I would definitely recommend you call Edwin!! You should also check out his reviews on Yahoo. For some reason he doesn't have as many on Yelp.

Edwin arrived on time and completed the task as requested professional. I would call him again for any electrical repairs.
