Fuata Electric

Fuata Electric is who you want to go with. Dave (the owner) squeezed me into his schedule and made quick work of my problem after another person came by and couldn't figure it out. His diagnosis of the issue was calculated, he seemed incredibly knowledgeable, and made sure to run a few tests to confirm what caused the issue to begin with. He provided tips including some lighting suggestions to help with the electricity costs.

It's hard to find honest people these days and I wouldn't hesistate to use them again. Don't get gauged by some of the other electricians out there.

Dave and Tony are awesome! We had our electricity wires done by Dave's team and they did an awesome job, very patient and honest guys, good quality work and explained everything very well. Pricing was also very competitive. I would recommend them.

If you are reading my review, read it and then go back to the main search.
If I can leave a negative start I would.

I call the office on Friday 10/21 to schedule us for monday (10/24) at 9-10am eta.

I called and followed up in the morning and they said they will call prior to their arrival.
It's now 10:00am and I have not heard back from the office or technician. I probably called about 5-6 times within 10-11am and heard no response.
I left two emails to try and contact someone for an update. The first email was an opportunity for them to respond and the second was to confirm that I took their lack of response as a form of cancellation.

I expressed the urgency of our repair and how we needed for our business operations. It was a simple short in a j box.

They are not considerate of your time or needs as a business. At least call and say you can take the job or make up a lie saying you can't.

Waste of my time.. don't even bother. Go elsewhere.

Dave came and gave me an estimate, then his electricians rewired the whole house, adding outlets where needed to be up to code.  Sebastian and the other men were professional, friendly and efficient.  they even added in other things I realized I needed.  The total was less than the estimate.  Highly recommended!!

They were great: professional, responsive, and friendly. Got the job done quickly and perfectly. We would definitely use them again!

This review is sincerely written to the bottom of my families heart.

Let me start that this business is top notch. I have about 3/4 of my house out of electricity. Usually we just have to reset everything and boom, it goes back. This time, nothing happens. So I called a lot of electricians and Fuata Electric caught my attention the most. Jennifer pick up and started asking me questions about my problem. To make the story short, she suggested to call PGE&E first and have them do some kind of inspection and call her back afterwards. So PGE came and said they have replaced some wires with copper and they gave us a good source of power that will last a long time. However, after some more checking and resetting , our power still will not come back. So the lead guy, there are three of them working by the way said, we have done everything we could have done and I suggest to have an electrician see this.

So, I called Jennifer back but she was not able to send somebody because of the holidays. This is happens on Dec 29. She suggested that she could make me an appt on Monday Jan 3. That day Monday, I called Jennifer that Monday morning and she said she will send somebody between 11-12 am. Jennifer is such a very helpful human being, very professional on the phone and I did not sense any rudeness because I am being desperate and pushy about my dilemma.

At around 1:30, a man by the name of David came ( by the way Jennifer called me that the technician will be late which is another show of professionalism for informing the customer). A very nice man and I later found out that he is the owner of the company. He greeted me nicely and I show him where the panel is. David looked and do some inspection and testing and said you have these breaker broken and I need to replace this. I can restore you power temporarily with 60 Amps and I will come back to get the parts and you should be fine and the only thing that will not be working right now is your washer and drier. I was so happy and just like that he restored the power for like 90% of the house. So, I asked him how much do I owe you? David said this part will only cost possibly $100 plus my labor. He did not asked for any payment at that time and said I will have Jennifer call you.

The day after early morning, two nice guys came and replace the breaker and clean the panel and restore my power completely. Again I asked how much is my bill. They said you will get an invoice and I was floored, what fixes everything and did not make me pay.

This company Electric Fuata is my go to guy forever now. There are so many electricians I spoke to prior to Jennifer and all of them seems to be just interested in making money, sorry guys I will not mention your names anyway. As a matter of fact two company did not even came and suggested me a price that I will not even mention.

This company is 1000% percent recommended and if you happen to have electrical issues, you know whom to call. To David, Jennifer and to the two electricians who came over, I salute you guys and I wish you happy new year and stay safe.

I am planning to upgrade my panel to 200 amps because of our plan to purchase electric vehicle but the is in the near future. Now I know the people I will call for my future project.

Sincerely,
Robert and Emma

Very responsive and friendly. EV charger/outlet install. Got everything done as scheduled. Would use again for other services.

Fast service, just one day after a holiday. Professional and got the job done.

Professional, proficient and extremely knowledgeable.  Dave and his company deserve the best rating.  They did several things at my rental property in Burlingame and I would higher this company again and I have used several different ones over the years. They are at the top.  Recommend!

Great guy! He showed up on time, friendly, resourceful. He gave me lots of useful information and we will definitely work in the near future. Thanks and see you soon!

We needed some electrical upgrades to support a new water heater and electric car charging outlet. Top-notch experience with Fuata, from quote through to timely completion of high quality work. Their team was excellent, friendly and highly professional, clearly explaining scope and options throughout.

Highly recommend. They came out first gave us quote. We decided to use them and they did all the work they quoted quickly and professionally and the bill came in under their quote. Both Mario and Jessie were awesome. I'm very happy with their work and I can now use my dryer, all my lighting in house work. I'm a happy customer.

honest, dependable and on time. had a faulty light switch replaced. kudos to jennifer and jessie for their outstanding communication and work.

Hired them to replace our Exit signs. They install new one in a different spot a few inches away. Doesn't make sense and looks odd to say the least.
Weird!

Jessie was expert, efficient and friendly in replacing a pendant light with an antique chandelier. Thank you.

I have used Fuata Electric for all electrical work over the past ten years or so. Recessed lights, kitchen lights, upgraded kitchen electrical work, upgraded circuit breakers, etc. They are dependable and efficient.

I had an electrical issue late at night the other day. I messaged a few electricians on yelp and that I knew and Dave got right back to me via Yelp and scheduled a crew to come out first thing in the morning since he was concerned the issue could have been unsafe. The two electricians who came to my home were professional and super thorough, checking every wire, outlet, etc. They seemed extremely knowledgeable and took photos of items that could be improved if I want to make these improvements to stop further future issues from happening. I would highly recommend this company for any of your electrical needs.

Fuata Electric came as a recommendation from a friend and we're glad to have worked with them! Dave, Mario, and Justin took care of all our electrical needs (making sure everything is to code) at the cafe, and then some. They got things done when they said they would even in freezing and rainy days. Incredibly professional and reliable!

Unlike many commercial contractors we've bumped into, Dave and team work fast, gives you advice on how to save on costs, and easy to talk to! I think they have fair pricing and great service. Hope to work with them again when we open our next shop :)

David came out  to help us with our remodel, he was on time, friendly and very knowledgeable. With his suggestions he recommended a few changes that probably saved us over $2000 than what our designer drew. He is worth every penny and my wife and I highly recommend!!!!!

If you need an electrician - don't go anywhere else.  Dave & his team are professional, efficient, knowledgable and fun to talk with.  He quickly evaluated the issue we had, answered all my novice questions & even fit in an add-on light change.  They really go out of there way to do quality & customer-centered work .. and even squeezed me in on a short notice. They also noticed the small things like we don't wear shoes indoors & wore shoe covers or removed their shoes. They finished quickly, fixed existing wiring issues and left me with a new and improved laundry room.

Definitely call Fuata Electric!

Referred to us by our real estate agent. Once we scheduled him in for a consultation/quote, he met us, on time, gave a seemingly helpful info about his plan and suggestions. However, he never responded to our subsequent requests for a written quote. Not sure what happened but was actually looking forward to working with him...

I've been trying to get an electrician to come out for a small job (my lights were flickering). After calling 3 highly rated electricians from yelp and only 1 responding saying the job was too small, I got recommendation for David. He was very responsive and sent his very knowledgeable guys out the same day. Turned out to be a big issue that I needed PG&E for!

So glad David & his guys took the time - thank you!

We have recently moved and had a problem with outdoor lights on a timer. I contacted Dave over last weekend, he promised he would schedule service early in the week.  His guys arrived at 8:15 Tues a.m. after giving me a heads up phone call they were on the way.  They thoroughly explained what was going on, fixed the problem and have come back today to fix another problem I discovered after their visit.  This is a highly professional company, extremely communicative, and thorough in their approach.  As far as I am concerned this is the only company to call in order to solve any electrical issues. I highly recommend them.

We needed to upgrade our main panel, ground 8 outlets and fix issues with the 220v line in our garage. We've got estimates from 6 electricians. Fuata Electric's price was quite competitive, moreover Dave appeared to be very knowledgeable and honest guy. We couldn't be more happier with electrical work  that was done by him and his crew. They were incredibly efficient, the job was done very fast, with great quality, moreover Dave was communicating with PGE on my behalf about fixing issues with the power line.
Highly recommend them

When my grandmother renovated her kitchen we were told we needed to obtain an electrician. A family friend had told me about Fuata Electric and how wonderful their experience had been so we decided to give them a call.  

I have to tell you over the top service.  Professional, quick and very very reliable.  Dave - the owner actually came out himself which was very impressive and put my grandmother at ease.  I think whenever you are remodeling and dealing with contractors this is always an uneasy feeling, but Dave and his team put us all at ease!  His quote was fair and reasonable and he said he could complete all the work in less than a week!  Perfect!!

Thank you Fuata Electric.  I will use you again in the future and recommend you to all my friends and family!

I came across Fuata Electric approximately 4 years ago while working for the current property management company I work for in San Mateo. Our company continues to use them for many of the HOA's we manage in the Bay Area. I've always found Dave and his technicians to be very professional, helpful, and knowledgeable about their craft. Their prices are very competitive with other electricians we do business with. Being that the majority of the HOA's I manage are in San Mateo, it is definitely handy to have a local company such as Fuata Electric available especially in a case of an emergency. One note, obtaining invoices in a timely manner for jobs completed by them was a bit challenging some time ago, possibly due the organization being understaffed so If I could, I'd give them 4.5 stars.

I understand Dave Fuata (Owner) was involved in coaching the local San Mateo American Legion Post 82 team for some time so I can respect and admire a local business supporting the local community.

If you are looking for an electrician that can provide quality service for a reasonable price, I strongly suggest Fuata Electric.

Dave and his crew are the best in the business, they did my house and business. They are honest, fast, reliable, and best of all they get the job done!!
I have dealt with lots of contractors and most start the job but don't finish. Fuata Electric gets my vote.  They are the best, I highly recommend them!!!

Thanks Dave

Dave and his team are great.  I needed some work around the house, Dave was incredibly helpful and replied to my email almost immediately.  The work was done quickly, efficiently and reasonably-priced.
I was told by a friend that I should install a residual-current device, so I emailed Dave asking him to do the work.  Dave's reply was: I'm not sure this is something you need.  You currently have circuit breakers that will detect a ground fault.  If your house had fuses I would say this is something you may need.  I can install this product if you would like but don't think it's necessary.  We don't often meet professionals who prioritize the costumer's needs above their own.

I called Fuata for a broken electrical fixture at a rental property.  Dave managed to squeeze me in to his schedule and come out the next day.  He and his assistant were very professional and repaired the problem quickly.

Dave and his team worked on our kitchen remodel. Electrical is so important for most remodel projects and I'm glad they were a part of ours.  Great to work with. Thanks Dave to you and your team.

We needed an electrician to help with a remodel and looked around and a friend had suggested Fuata Electric, so I called and they were able to come out that same day! It was nice to not have to wait and to be able to get a start on quotes and finding the right person for the job since that is such a hassle with contractors. The guy that came out was friendly, personable, honest (or else a hell of an actor), and was the first and cheapest quote we got. He finished the job ahead of schedule and was able to come out again when we needed to change a spec with no questions or hassle.  I would definitely recommend this company for anyone looking for a electrician in this area.
