Best Electricians in San Francisco, CA

I feel bad leaving a 2 star rating because Rudy seemed like a pretty cool guy, but the communication wasn't there. Rudy came to my house and I showed him all the things I need to get done, the next day he texted me a top level estimate for everything. I told him I'll review with my dad and get back to him, fast forward 2 weeks later I reach out to him via text and ask if we can just have some things done first and how much each item would be, then the rest later, but he didn't reply. I tried texting again and calling to no avail, and he even has his read receipts on his text so it shows that he read my text but chose not to reply. A simple No or reply would have been ok with me rather than leaving me hangin, very unprofessional.

We wanted to post appreciation of Chasov's owner and his referred rep Dmitri Jermoljev. Chasov concentrates on construction jobs, but has resources for residential and homeowners.
They were prompt, good problem solvers, treated us with a well organized approach, presented reasonable solutions and were in the $$ range for professional licensed electricians (versus handyman range, no knock against handypersons).
Initial contact was friendly, professional, low pressure, not distracted, and they were available even though busy elsewhere.

We ended up getting a package from our neighbor's contractor (all crew are on site this month - carpentry, tile, electrical, plumber), for several services we needed last minute. Chasov presented a trustworthy, responsive contact in all our interactions which is why we're posting here.

Main point: Both Chasov and Dmitri were good communicators, presented solutions clearly and were familiar with and had confidence in handling issues any homeowner of a San Francisco has to contend with due to the mix of contractor and vendor skill levels out there.
Check the other positive reviews and consider them.
Thanks Dmitri and Michael Chasov!

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.

Tony is a true professional.  He was prompt in returning my quote request and returning my call.  He is very knowledgeable.  He found my problem quickly and replaced a part that restored power to my device.  Tony is friendly too.  I highly recommend him to do the job right.

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.

I negotiated a contract with Solinsky to repair a parking lot light fixture for my 65 unit condo association. After 10 weeks of doing nothing, footdragging and lame excuses I gave them one more week to execute the work. When that did not happen I fired them. Don't waste your time.

Woke up to no hot water and called Mister Fixit--he sent me a video on how to re-light the pilot and offered to walk me through it via video chat. I ended up not needing the chat but appreciate Mr Fixit's willingness to help me out for free and on the spot! He's a nice guy and now I have hot water, so 5 stars!

Fantastic person to do business with. He fixed a dead outlet and even threw in a new light switch and outlet. Very professional. Will be recommended highly to family and friends
..this guys knows his stuff

I've hired Andrei Smirnov exclusively, ever since I first hired him several years ago to replace my electrical service panel at my house in San Francisco.  When we moved to San Rafael in late 2013, Andrei was kind enough to come up to Marin to replace the old and dangerous electrical panel and sub-panel in the older home we bought, as well as to replace and rewire circuits in the kitchen and bathrooms that were far below code.  

Last month, Andrei installed recessed LED lights throughout our home, as well as two ceiling fans, dimmer switches, and electrical outlets.  He is great to work with, and offered excellent advice, while tracking down fixtures that were considerably less expensive than those proposed by the lighting designer that we had hired to create the lighting plan for the house.

I recommend AVS Electric with no hesitation whatsoever.

We reached out to Art based on his Yelp reviews and are very glad we hired him.  He responded to our request immediately and showed up the very same day to give us a quote to remove and install two ceiling lights.  He quickly assessed the project, identified any potential issues and gave us a very reasonable quote before any other electrician had even returned our calls.  We scheduled the work for a couple days later and he showed up on time with another electrician and got the job done efficiently and professionally.  We appreciated his attention to detail and the care he took while working in our house with two small children. I highly recommend his services!

Pedro did a great job fixing some problems we had in our old electrical house at a very reasonable price. He was also able to come out within a few days after I contacted him, while I had some other electricians tell me they weren't even touching jobs this small. I would definitely hire him for larger jobs too.

Derek installed recess lighting in our main living area, a wine bottle chandelier with a tricky mounting set up, and a bedroom ceiling fan/light.  He was efficient, thorough, and very reasonably priced.  He is very handy, as well, which helped tremendously in mounting the chandelier.  We had a painter working concurrently, and Derek was very flexible with his schedule.  I highly recommend Derek.

First, I just want to say, that I agree with all the wonderful comments about Bart and his two son's commitment to quality and customer service.

Secondly, Bart did large rewire job to replace knob & tube wiring and update a lot of outlets, and add a few more to get up to code, plus add recessed lighting for our home. This also included the installation of a subpanel and repair of existing doorbell. The job was done beautifully, I have zero complaints and only compliments to Bart and his two son's work. 

We also work from home and Bart was great at keeping necessary power on at the end of each day. Each day he'd walk us through what was done, and what the plan was for the next day. This made it easy for us to move around the house and plan where we needed live/work and where to keep the animals (2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 Geckos). The job was done in about 5 days, finishing up early on Friday. We had a Monday morning inspection that passed with flying colors. 

For additional reference, I had 5 electrical contractors walk my job, and out of all them Bart was the most thorough in his job walk, asking a lot of questions and looking at all the detail from top to bottom. He also provided the most comprehensive proposal. 

Thanks Bart, Anthony and Joseph for all the hard work! We miss having you around, but plan on asking you out for some more work in the future!

Friendly staff and professional electricians.  Really good service at a competitive price.

This is a serious store for serious people looking for electric supplies. The selection is enormous, and if you have done your homework *before* coming to the store, then you will understand them and they will understand you. Pricing is excellent, and at least for me, the customer experience was great.

We called Ongaro & Sons to install a new wall heater in an apartment we own in San Rafael.  Overall, we found them to be very professional.  Their prices were competitive, they had great follow-thru and they completed the job in a very timely & orderly manner.  Their office staff was also very friendly and courteous.  We highly recommend them for any HVAC project you may have!

I wrote a review once before, but for some reason it's not appearing. Tim is top notch!  I have a rental in the city and he has done lighting work for me whenever I need assistance. He is willing to go out of his way to help with short notice and whenever he can accommodate.  Tim is a people person and truly cares about his clients. He is professional, curious, knowledgable and someone I know I can always depend on. I highly recommend using Tim for any of any electrical needs.

I was given a list of items I needed for a room project. I called E&E and spoke to Ray. Ray took the time to fill order and have supplies ready for pickup. Ray operated the 2 minute offense like a SuperBowl QB. Ray is the real deal! E&E will yake you to the end zone with your projects. Ray Rocks!

Bad, bad, bad! I suspect that the good reviews here were written by this man's relatives.  I had such a disastrous experience that everything has to be done over by another electrician.  Run for the hills--he may be cheaper but you'll have things that are 1.  not according to code 2. unusable, 3. ruin other parts of your project. 4.  look AWFUL

Just wanted to update my review... almost immediately after posting it, Jaeame contacted me about fixing the stucco on the exterior of the house.  It was done within a few days and they have been very good about calling to let me know when there would be a delay because of weather - and then to follow up on making sure the work was satisfactory.  This was all done without me even directly contacting them.  Thanks for making it right Greenforce!
