SL Electric

Samuel installed an electric line to power my water heater last year and did a fantastic job - it's still working with no issue as expected.

Recently I had an unrelated issue with an GFCI outlet that kept tripping when we ran some household appliances simultaneously. We weren't sure which outlets shared a current or breaker, but after some experimentation we replaced the faulty outlet ourselves as a first pass. I called Samuel for an assessment and he was nice enough to stop by and diagnose.

He helped us do some tests to confirm which outlets were connected to what breakers. The problem stopped happening by itself when he stopped by and didn't end up needing servicing. He also gave some advice on appliance configuration, how to not overload the circuit, and secondary troubleshooting we could do on our own before calling him again.

I appreciate how customer focused, trustworthy, and great communication - he'll definitely be getting more of my business and recommendation to friends!

Easy to communicate with and schedule; handled a lighting upgrade quickly and efficiently - will definitely hire again.

Samuel helped me assess water damage to an electric outlet and safely turn power on in the affected area. He also helped me with changing 3 outlets to GFCI outlets at the same time but called me to confirm my comfort with the work before doing so. Quick response and I appreciated his clear communication on labor, price and options. I would happily work with Samuel again!

A few weeks ago, I hired someone on Yelp to fix my circuit breaker box. Yesterday night, the power started to partially go out and the circuit breaker box started sparking and sizzling. This electrician didn't reply to my text or phone call. In need of immediate help, I made several calls based on Yelp reviews. Samuel called me back right away and had his colleague Josue come ASAP to assess the situation. After further inspection, he noticed that a few connections were loose. He tightened some bolts and tested the box. He was here less than 20 minutes and left with my problem easily solved. Fast, professional and reasonable - I highly recommend SL Electric.

I just bought a condo and I had a lot of electrical upgrades I wanted to do (Tesla Wall Connector, sub panel replacement, additional outlets, additional lighting). Samuel was able to understand my vision and quickly got back to me with an estimate over Yelp. Sam is really responsive to message over Yelp and text messages and was a breeze to work with. Sam and his team did a great job running all the new rough electrical work over 4-5 days, another ~2 days of finishing work, and another ~2 days of inspections over 7 weeks. Sam is a great communicator asking me questions as work is done, provided great knowledge on best placement of the new lights and provided important knowledge to make sure we're up to code. Sam attended all the electrical inspections with the City of San Francisco and provided the electrical load calculations of our residence to satisfy the city's requirements to pass the inspections. Samuel did an excellent job for my house and I hope to hire SL Electric again for my future projects.

Samuel is an incredible communicator, electrician, and person. He spent two weeks doing a complete rewire of our 80+ year old home and made sure that we passed our city inspections bringing each room up to code. In this project, we had multiple requirements involving fixture replacements/additions and several new outlets. He provided accurate estimates, quick communication via email & text, and spent as much time as needed to get our electric work done. I've already had Samuel come back for additional small projects and will continue to use him for my work moving forward. I cannot recommend Samuel enough, he'll do great things for your house!

One of the recessed lights in my office stopped working.  Sam came out and determined the issue was the bulb. I live near one of his suppliers and he went and purchased the correct bulb and installed it. He then helped mov the other recessed lights to improve the lighting on my desk. I finally feel like I have a functioning desk!  He showed me how to work the reset button and clearly explained the problem. He was timely, professional, and contentious.  I would happily hire him again.

We recently worked with Sam and his team to install recessed Lightings in apartment. Sam was really quick to answer our questions. He gave us great feedback when discussing the scope of work, and he provided a reasonable quote. He was extremely accommodating to deal with HOA rules, help us with the permit request, and to be sure that we pass city inspections. Sam and his team are extremely professional. We love our lights and we will be happy to work again with them. After visiting our apartment, our neighbors recently hired Sam and his team for a similar upgrade to their apartment.

Plug for oven didn't work and I couldn't get breaker to reset. Sam responded quickly on Saturday evening and arrived 2 hours later. He solved the problem expertly and we can now cook on our stove and oven again. Thanks Sam for the excellent service.

Samuel is a responsive professional and reasonably priced licensed electrician.   I highly recommend him.  On a project at my rental property, he went over and above when other electricians and contractors wouldn't even respond to my request for a bid.

Sam did an excellent job installing our Tesla car charger. He is very knowledgeable in his field. He is young, but very well experienced, and professional. I'll definitely hire him again with any other electrical service we need.

Samuel and his assistant did an excellent job installing a ceiling fan in my loft.  They were on time, on budget and professional. I will use SL Electric for other projects.

Samuel was a pleasure to deal with and was very friendly throughout the process. Looking forward to working with him again!

Sam went above and beyond, running down to the store to get covers and bulbs and switches.  He came over on short notice and was very personable, professional and friendly to our family.  Thanks Sam.  I won't hesitate to reach out to you again for electrical needs.

Added a 14-50r industrial outlet to my garage, was able to do it on short notice. Also fixed a 4-way switch that wasn't wired correctly. Very good communication via text.

Samuel is terrific!  He did more than originally requested without charging a cent more.  It was a small job (the chain to the light on our ceiling fan no longer worked) and he took care of that problem and replaced the fan switch as well.  I was unable to find an electrician that would even call me back and then Samuel gave us a quote on Yelp, showed up on time and quickly got the job done.  He is a very personable and knowledgeable young man and I am thrilled to have found him.

Our light switch broke off about a month ago and I've been delaying fixing it for the entire months not wanting to contact any electricians. But finally after putting a word out there Samuel responded with a flat rate estimate which I was happy with and scheduled a visit the same minute.
He was professional and very kind, fixed the issue in no time and was super nice about everything, definitely recommend this company and Samuel in particular for doing such a fantastic job. Thanks once again Samuel!

Samuel and team are fantastic. Great workmanship, great communication, super fair pricing, and an X factor that you won't find elsewhere, which is Samuel is just a great collaborator/brainstormer/project planner. I had this really messy, complicated situation with an old house renovation in SF that had been partially finished in the 1940s-1960s. Instead of removing the original, incomplete work, we decided to finish it, but that created a lot of complication with installing full modern electric up to code (outlets plus light fixtures) in 2 rooms in this tight basement space, around structural beams, through walls and ceilings constructed with various materials over the years, removing old cloth wiring, etc. As a result, we couldn't find any electrician to take it on in 18 months of looking until we lucked out and found Samuel, and then it was completed in 2 days! With perfect results and at a great price. This project wasn't easy, it required creativity and an appetite for taking on a challenge, and Samuel delivered big time. We are SO grateful to have this work finally done so we can move forward, and Samuel will definitely be our go-to electrician from now on... my only worry is he will become too busy because someone this good is very hard to find!

Samuel was terrific to work with from start to finish. I had a number of different projects I needed to complete upon moving into my new home, which included installation of a Tesla wall charger, light fixtures within my home and a Google Nest Hello Doorbell. Samuel was quick to respond from my first inquiries, offered competitive pricing and was very professional throughout the process. He was diligent with the work, went the extra mile to complete some of the tasks which were a bit more challenging for specific reasons and has continued to make himself available for other smaller projects I have needed. I highly recommend him for any electrical work you may need.

We reached out to SL Electric to put in a new outlet and were hoping to move quickly to have it completed prior to a scheduled paint job.  Sam came out *the next day* and completed the job promptly.  The price was within what he quoted, and he allowed us to make a modification in real time to add one more outlet for a reasonable fee.  To say he worked quickly is an understatement - it was ~20 hours from initial outreach to having 2 new outlets in a closet where there previously were none.  He closed up the walls with minimal damage (basically the least you could expect in this situation) that allowed our painters to spackle, sand, and paint over when they came a few days later.  Friendly, on-time, and quick work - not much more to say except thank you!  Will definitely reach out again when we have future electrical work.

Samuel was great to work with from my first phone calls and text messages to completion of the job. He's straightforward and easy to talk to, responsive to questions, and knows his stuff. He installed an outlet in a wall lacking one in a very reasonable amount of time, and the rate he charged was reasonable as well. Some drilling and sawing was involved, and he cleaned up afterward. You can tell he cares about doing good work and satisfying the customer. I would definitely hire him again, and would recommend him to others.

I used many contractors over the years and Sam is top notch. I've used him for several projects and he always does a great job. He comes up with great solutions and very easy to work with. He's very neat and very careful when working. The quality and precision of his work is apparent. I highly recommend him.

Professional, Quick to respond and come out, kind and knowledgeable! Called Sam frantic when I couldn't get our breaker to turn over. I run catering kitchen and power to our smoker is ver my important. Sam came out literally with in 15min and was ready to help. He knew exactly what the sound it was making was and quickly repaired the problem. Highly recommend Sam and his business to anyone with electrical issues. Thanks Sam, hope you enjoy the BBQ!

We had Samuel over for a somewhat complicated light fixture installation, he  did a great job at a reasonable price and was a really nice guy. Can't think of anything else that you would want in an electrician, so I would recommend!
