RIP OFF! Stay away!

Charged $300 for changing ONE breaker. Approx. 30 mins of work.

Edit: no rate was confirmed.

We had several electrical outlets that lost power. Anthony came out and diagnosed the problem quickly and gave a reasonable estimate for repair. He was able to finish the job about an hour after he came out. Thanks again

Nor-Cal Painting was the go-to painters and handy-work crew my realtor recommended, and it was easy to see why.  We hired Vinh and his team to do exterior painting, interior painting, and installing lighting fixtures and other handywork.  And it was great that Vinh was very methodical in planning his work around our very tight schedule that included other contractors for flooring and kitchen appliance installation.  

While Vinh was mostly managed by our realtor, I wanted to know everything and Vinh was very easy to talk to and very clear about his recommendations and what we was going to do, before his team came in.  

What I liked most about Vinh and his team was their very good work and attention to detail, so I would highly recommend Nor-Cal Painting and will surely use them again when the time comes again!

We found them very friendly, honest and felt the company is well-managed from the top. Jay was prompt, easy to work with, and extremely customer service oriented. Happy to recommend them to anyone in need of electrical work.

Dan and team do great preventative maintenance on our Generac--totally reasonable and responsive!

Lawrence did an excellent job figuring out the problem and then fixing it. He was very professional and patient with me.  He took the time to explain the problem and assured me that the situation will be resolved. Very nice gentleman. Thank bunch for your help!

Finding an electrician or a specialist for networking gear can be challenging.  Luckily for me, I was able to connect with Felipe from Almighty Electric, Inc.  From our first conversation, I knew I was dealing with someone that was honest, fair, and very professional.

My project entailed installing indoor access points, and one outdoors.  Cutting into sheetrock, running CAT6 cable in-wall, and in my attic is no easy feat.  I knew that selecting the right company/installer would be critical to not only my wireless network but also the overall aesthetics of my home.

After discussing all the logistics of the installation with Felipe, he provided me with a very competitive quote as well as a detailed list of the materials needed.  We agreed on a date and time to kick things off, and the rest is history!  Felipe and his crew arrived on time, executed their plan, and got my network up and running.  They work efficiently and very meticulously.  They covered all of their work areas to make sure my floors were protected at all times.  If you are looking for an honest electrician that does great work, give AEI a call.

I called Jay when smoke started coming out from my cabinet when the oven was turned on.  He showed up on a rainy Sunday, two days before Christmas and fixed the problem. Jay was very professional and the service was wonderful. His prices were reasonable and I would definitely use him again and recommend him to anyone who needs work done.

Very professional with reasonable price. Tim came on time and did extra inspections to make sure the job is done correctly. Highly recommended.

I was looking around for some quotes for a 240V installation (planning on installing an EV Charger) and some other electrical work. Of those, BV Electric was the most suitable option for me. They were super responsive via e-mail and were open with availability. Rico and John took a few hours to route a conduit to my garage and install the 240V and also worked on another electrical issue. They noted that a fixture needed to be replaced, which I ended up picking up. I contacted them again and Rico came by to get that resolved. He also went above and beyond to review the EV Charger installation and noted really tight wiring between the 240V and the EV Charger, which he ended up remediating by moving the frame a few inches closer to the 240V.

I definitely appreciate their service and look forward to contacting BV Electric should I run into any future problems. Thanks!!

I needed to check my electric panel because of an expansion of a home flight simulator project. I called SJ Rios Electric and Sonny came to my house and clearly explained to me my options in plain English so I could  make an informed decision.

He provided a detailed explanation of what he would be doing to add a new circuit to my existing panel and avoid messing with my current electric design. I really felt he was willing to embrace the most cost-effective action rather than the most costly one. I really appreciate honesty and what I consider a fair cost for the entire project.

He showed up on time and even played with my crazy dog LOL.
I'll be a loyal customer of SJ Rios Electric from now on.

Great consultation, service, communication, pricing - all work has been done on budget and on time. Apart from installing over a dozen on can lights the team also patched up the ceiling with well matched paint - have not found any other electricians who have done both installation and post patching job/ all others said they would need to hire 3rd party contractors but this team owned the job from beginning to the end. They also installed outside lights in some challenging to reach spaces outside garage/backyard and that completely transformed the look of the house. Highly recommend them!

Khalif helped with installation of a 220V. Did a great and neat job! Will go with Khalif for future electrical needs.
Thanks!

This review is long overdue.  My brother and I have done a lot of business with Todor over the last 6 months as we resurrected an old Victorian in the Haight Ashbury.  

When it comes to electricity (or plumbing), you don't take the cheap handyman route.  It can be flat out dangerous!  

We had originally hired someone with many fantastic reviews that were clearly from people who were happy just for responsiveness, but likely did not have the expertise to know if anything had been done properly.  This person had installed a bunch of electric heaters, every single one of them was done incorrectly.  Further, several electrical sockets were installed, also done incorrectly.  And when I say incorrectly, we could feel voltage coming off one of them and there were  no less than 3 potential fire hazards.  It was money down the drain, requiring a complete redo of the work, and would have been a potential future lawsuit, had we not had the expertise to understand the fire hazards that resulted from this work.

Then we hired Todor.  And we hired him again - and again.  Yes, he is busy, but he found a way to squeeze in each job.  He knows SF electrical code inside and out.  His crew is highly trained, extremely professional and treated with respect. Each job is done on time and perfectly.  

This is one of those professionals, where I had no regrets with any piece of work that was done.  Every time I wrote a check, it felt good, because I knew our home was safe not only for us today, but for the future owners once we are able to sell it.

Integrity seems to be in short supply or seemingly really hard to find these days - at a fair price.  Well, I found it here and I am grateful.

We bought a new oven and realized the old one was hard wired to the house.  This meant we had to have an outlet installed first.  Matt and Matt squeezed us in right away.  Upon pulling out the old oven we found that the wiring was a big unsafe mess.  The guys at Cambrian fixed it all same day, so we would be safe, at a very reasonable price.  They also sorted out and labeled our previously unlabeled circuit breaker.  They made sure our fridge stayed plugged in and accessible, and that we were comfortable.  These guys ROCK!!!

LHWIRE has provided excellent service with a major remodeling project  in Berkeley as well as a brand new construction in San Carlos.
Reza, the owner and CEO of the company is so professional in terms of estimating, communicating, problem solving, customer service, etc
All technicians are highly skilled and helpful, Working with LHWire has been a great experience and we hope to continue our business in our future projects.

Our home had the old nob and tube wiring and we wanted to update it.  We knew it would be a big job and so we really wanted to find someone we could trust.  After interviewing several electrical companies we went with 110/220 Electric.  We are so pleased with this decision.  The owner came out and gave us a very comprehensive inspection.  He was here for nearly one hour.  He crawled under the house, up in the attic and up and down ladders. His proposal and estimate arrived by email less than 24 hours later.  This was quite different from the quick inspections the other companies performed.  One company took nearly a week to get back to me with an estimate and was quite a bit more.  Bart Speccia, the owner, set up a schedule and he stuck to the schedule exactly.  He showed up on time each morning.  He left my home neat and clean which I really appreciated as I have two dogs and didn't want them getting into anything.  The job was completed with very little intrusion.  I highly recommend 110/220 Electrics personal reliable service for any job you may have - large or small.
