Best Businesses in San Francisco, CA

Simply the best.  We wanted to install a heating and air-conditioning system in our home.  The initial estimator (Manolo) did a thorough analysis and came up with a solution that was cost-efficient and practical for our needs.  He did not try and over sell us at all. He did what was best for us. The team (Jose and Tyler) that did the actual installation were fabulous.  They arrived promptly each day and did their work with a minimum of interference. When they left each day, the house was spotless. They were both gentlemen and professionals.  The office support staff also was in the superior category.  Paper work, permits, follow up were all handled efficiently and effectively with absolutely no hassle or delays.  My family started using Ongaro in the 1950s.  Here we are, three generations later.  Why would we ever change?

Michael responded to my call same-day and quickly diagnosed the that the problem we had with our lights flickering and furnace not working was on the PG&E line. This allowed me to get PG&E out quickly and even though they didn't believe me at first, turns out Michael was right! Thanks again!

I appreciate the quick response and friendly service I received to fix several issues. I look forward to working with them on future projects.

Tony just finished a lighting remodel job in our condo and did a superb job. Unconditionally recommend him. Prompt and quality work, good follow up. His crew cleaned up at the end of each day, and left the condo in great shape.

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!

Brad is an awesome person and a superb, responsible electrician.

He's done a bunch of work at our house since we moved in here a couple years ago.

So nice to our kids and us.  A pleasure to have around.

The work is top-notch and he'll take as much time as needed to find the right solution and make things work.

Also has been willing to drop other things and come work at our house in pouring rain on a sort of emergency fix.

Cannot recommend Brad highly enough.  Peace of mind and comfort knowing things will be done right no matter what the issue or challenge.

I am sick to my stomach. I expect that Tim passes everyone off to Neil because it's likely Neil has a bad rating here. My experience was a disaster. He was completely unprofessional, he smelled like a homeless man and I wouldn't have been able to tell him from one on the street. I was scared to have him in my home. He carelessly walks into the backyard where it's completely muddy, steps on the neighbors plants and doesn't think about wiping his dirty shoes off before walking on my beige carpets. He spent 30 minutes trying to solve a problem I didn't ask him to solve before I just didn't care anymore. I expect any positive ratings are from family and friends. He also wouldn't produce a license or business card. Buyer Beware!

Great job fixing the bathroom fan and running out to get spare parts for unexpected issues. Also tolerated the job while our dog barked from the next room over. Professional and would recommend

I called Habib when multiple outlets failed on one side of our bakery.  He told me how to trouble shoot the problem by myself and what do you know?  It worked! When I asked him to charge me for the phone consult, he asked that I donate any amount to a local children's hospital.... so we did! Can you ever hope to find a more wonderful experience with someone?

Andrei was great! Friendly and efficient! He followed all COVID safety protocol. Would definitely use him again. He replaced our broken doorbell in minutes. Two thumbs up!

Worst store ever. I bought $450 worth of supplies for my contractor which turned out to be wrong - based on what they told us at the store. They changed a 15% restocking fee AND a $10 fee to ship back None of this is stated on the return slip which says they will either give store credit or refund with card present.

My mom's doorbell stopped working.  After doing a research on line I saw Art's rating of ALL 5 stars from his customers.  He was running a little late from a previous job and texted me to let me know (which I GREATLY appreciated).  Unfortunately, I could only give him a five star rating.  I WISH I COULD OF GIVEN HIM A 10.  Art was very very professional, took care of the problem and his price VERY VERY REASONABLE.  I can't state enough how great this guy is.  VERY PROFESSIONAL AND VERY REASONABLE.  Thank you Art.

We really liked working with Pedro! He showed up on time, updated some wiring issues, and did a variety of other lighting replacements (exterior and interior); and called the next day to make sure everything was OK! What we most appreciated is that he took time to explain things electrical to us novices, provided the options for us to consider, and made clear what was a safety issue needed fixing and what were optional items. He and his helper were really nice, kept things organized and clean inside, and exhibited safety protocols per Covid-19. SFE is staying in our list for home needs, and we would recommend him to friends and neighbors!

We have worked with Derek on several projects and each time he has been a miracle worker!  His advice on how to appropriately setup the electrical in a new office as well as teasing out and fixing the problems of a previous owner's crappy eletrical patch job were fantastic.  Very reliable and overall nice guy!!

Bart was amazing to work with! He was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. He was able to make it out quickly for a quote and started the job that same week. He was very respectful of our home by making significant electrical upgrades with minimal impact to our existing infrastructure. The extent of our electrical work included grounding existing outlets, installing new outlets, recessed lighting, and an external 240V outlet. Whereas other electricians that we got quotes from indicated that certain items would require significant patchwork or too difficult to do, Bart's team excelled. We would not hesitate to hire Bart for any future electrical work.

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

I called on a Sunday to see if they could come out to fix an power outlet that was not working.  Ken walked us through several steps on the phone to see if we could pin point the problem.  He was very patient and helpful and he told us what to do to test and restart the power.  It was amazing to get this kind of helpful service on the phone.   I would highly recommend AC3 LLC!!
You don't often run across such honest professionals.   Thank you Ken!

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

Aside for the language barrier, I think they cater to professional contractors, because on Saturday mid-day, they apparently had bigger fish to fry.  If you know what you want they may be able to get it, but don't ask these guys for advice on (option A. vs. option B.) as each salesperson will contradict the next, I think that even the store manager has his store's agenda in mind when suggesting what to get, not will work better for the customer. It's a good thing the gulags gave me a thicker skin to simply ignore bad service.

I communicated with Greenforce almost entirely by email, which is extremely convenient for me.  Their response time was very quick and they gave me a quote which I found to be quite reasonable.  I wanted to make a couple of changes which they did and then sent me an updated quote.  

They did let me know a few days prior to my install appointment that they would not install in the rain.  Since rain was in the forecast, they wanted to give me the option to reschedule. I thought it was great that I was given that choice in advance.

The day of the install they were running late and did not let me know until I contacted them.  The install itself was slowed due to some rain that came in, but I didn't need to be home so it really did not impact me. The guys who came out to do the install were very nice and professional and took great care to be careful with areas of the house I was concerned about, like the trim around our front door.

Scheduling take down was just as quick and easy and I look forward to using their service again next year!
