Best Ceiling Light Installation in San Francisco CA
German and his team were awesome. I needed to install a relatively heavy pendant lamp in the ceiling. This required installing proper load bearing electrical outlet in the ceiling, routing wire through ceiling joists and dry wall to the nearest switch board. The switchboard needed to be cut out to accommodate the new dimmer. Overall it was quite a surgery. German was the first to respond back on Yelp and look at the project. He not only had one of the lowest price quotes but also gave a fair quote to patch and paint the areas that would be affected. His team was super friendly and accommodating. The first day the electrical work was completed and the painter also collected paint sample from the wall. The next day the painter showed up with paint. What was nice was that the painter noticed that the paint shop had not done a good job of matching the paint. I was willing to accept the slight mismatch but he on his own went back to the paint shop and corrected the issue. That blew my mind. Overall, the job was done to a quality that was well beyond my expectation and at a price well agreeable to my wallet.

I needed a last minute electrician to install wiring in conjunction with concrete work (as our prior electrician bailed). Fearghal responded quickly and came by same day to check out the site and provide an estimate, then installed the panel next day. The concrete timing was unpredictable due to rain, but the second the ground was ready for the piping they came by to set up, so concrete could be poured the next morning. Everything went perfectly with no issues.

I needed an electrician on a Saturday within a tight window for my airbnb flat. John was able to be there, get it done, and i'll be forever grateful!

Natalie was available quickly for a quote, was very professional and seems knowledgeable. It was a larger job, which led to 2 negatives (minus 1-star for each):
1) She's an independent electrician with no team, so the job would have taken more time start to finish
2) Her quote, compared to 3 other similarly reviewed - 5-star - electrician firms was more than double (several thousand $$). Obviously, people are welcome to charge what they want, but it may be worth getting a 2nd quote just in case.

It always feels good to support local businesses, but it's especially rewarding to support ones that are just getting started. When I went on Yelp looking for an electrician, Estiben and Brains Automation Homes didn't even have any reviews yet! It's always a little risky to go with a business with no reviews, but something told me Estiben knew what he was doing, and I can definitely say I made a good choice in selecting him for my home project.
I had been wanting to replace the old and ugly outlets and switches in my home, and decided to get a few quotes just to see what I would be getting myself into. Brains Automation Homes offered a competitive estimate and got the job done exactly as I had requested and quickly (I was able to schedule an appointment the same week I started looking for an electrician). It turns out Estiben is a one-man show breaking out on his own and trying to build up his business (hence, not many reviews). He's licensed, competent, and friendly. He knew exactly what I was talking about when I mentioned I might want to replace an outlet with one that had USB ports. As the business name indicates, Brains Automation Homes has experience with hooking up smart homes, so you know Estiben is knowledgeable about some of the latest tech.
For my project, Estiben arrived on time, was very polite, got the job done well, and cleaned up after himself. In all, he replaced two regular outlets, two outlet-switch combinations with GFCI, two double light switches, two single light switches, and a three-switch contraption in the bathroom that connects to the light, the fan, and a heater. The bathroom switch was a late add-on (I thought it might be too complicated), but Estiben had all the necessary parts, so he was able to take care of it then and there.
I have a few more electrical projects in mind, and I won't hesitate to contact Brains Automation Homes when the time comes.

Josh from Fitch Electric was extremely knowledgeable. While I didn't proceed with the service, I'd still highly recommend Fitch Electric based on their know-how and customer service!

I thought I had three outlets that did not work; it turned out to be four. I suspect that they had been out for quite a while. I thought the problem was with my blow dryers, so I just let my hair dry on its own. I never expected it could be my wiring. I went to several outlets and decided to call an electrician when none worked. The referral my neighbor gave me for a company he uses could only come out for a few days. I checked Yelp for electricians near me and Jamie's Power was top on the list. He had great reviews, although none from anyone I know. I read the other reviews these people wrote and they seemed like honest reviews.
Jamie came out the next day and replaced a GFCI, outlet and then the others worked. I was excited and I tried all the other formally dead outlets, they worked. but the prongs on the plugs came out hot. I called Jamie back and he came out and replaced them
This company is knowledgeable, reasonably priced, prompt, and friendly. He does not take credit cards, English is not easy for him. Neither of these will keep me from calling him again.

Great work on our kitchen lighting... friendly & professional service. Highly recommend Reyff Electric for your electrical work.

This company is absolutely AMAZING. They were the ONLY one out of 20 companies I tried to reach, who picked up the phone, were EXTREMELY polite, punctual and FAIR. They provided a service next day and did an impeccable job installing a chandelier and switching the light switch to make it dimmable. He proposed and adjusted the height to make it functional and cleaned after himself without leaving a single dirt. This is the company that everyone should use and I will keep their phone number for EVER.

Mr. Wong came to fix a sparking breaker box in my linen closet, caused by a light in my kitchen falling down. He is awesome!

Really great work from Mario who installed a regular 120V outlet and a 14-50 outlet for my EV in my garage. The work was done super fast and efficiently. He was communicative and up front about pricing throughout the whole process. I will call him again if I need more work done.

I love Kevin! I own a spa called In-Symmetry Wellness Spa and completely takes care of all of our electrical needs. He always answers the phone and he explains everything really well. He is also a great price. Basically I don't use anyone else. Call them because you will not be sorry!

I moved into an old house and needed to upgrade the sub panel and install an EV charger, among some other things. Due to the age of the house, I knew the scope of work may be bigger.
I requested quotes from multiple electricians but Edward (Split owner) stood out by far. Extremely responsive and punctual, he took the time to educate me so that I could make an informed decision on the scope of work. No unnecessary upsells - just a logical assessment on what the best possible solution might be.
Rates are reasonable and he was able to put me on the schedule on short notice. He arrived on time and finished early. The work quality is great, and they even left the place spotless.
Edward is easily my go to electrician from here on out and I'd recommend him to anyone looking for an honest and effective electrician

I had Boyes Electric come in today to install slim LED recessed lights in the living room in the vaulted ceiling. I cannot be more pleased! Borin was professional from the start and communicates clearly.
Once he and Dylan got started they taped off with plastic any areas that could get dirty, did the install and then cleaned up afterwards. I would definitely call these guys again if I have any future needs!

RB Electric is a wonderful family electrical business - hire them!
My husband and I are remodeling our kitchen and we needed all new electrical. Our house is very old, from 1926 so it's cloth and tube.
We spoke with several companies and decided to go with RB Electic. The owner, Rigo, came out and walked us through what we needed. He is a pleasure to work with - clearly an expert at his craft and eager to provide a really good experience for us. We found his prices to be reasonable given the complexity of the work.
Rigo and his crew showed up on time and were ready to get started. Our job took an entire day and he had all of the materials (boxes, switches, etc) ready to go with him. They removed all of the old electrical and replaced it with new wiring and the correct boxes for the oven and fan hood. They worked very hard all day long and ask me a few questions along the way to make sure it was exactly what I wanted.
I've dealt with a lot of contractors over the years. Rigo and his crew are by far the best electricians I've ever worked with and we'll be hiring them again in the future. I highly recommend getting a quote from RB Electric and considering them for your electrical needs.

I had a problem with a GFI Receptacle that I had installed. It did not turn on....I panicked and called Lenny, he walked me through it, and it turned out that I hadn't pressed the reset button hard enough. Now it works.
He is great!!!!

Michael came to my home to give me an estimate on changing out all of the electrical outlets in my home, recess lights, and outside security lights. He was very friendly but more importantly he is professional and knowledgable in his field. These days it is hard to find these three qualities in a person. I am very happy with his work. He also stands by his word. I thought something was wrong with one of the outlets, turns out it was my fault, he had no problem returning and checking out that problem to make sure my home was safe. I will be using Michael as my electrician. Helen Robinson

As I write this review, I'm enjoying the handy work from Cham and his team, listening to the music from the audio system they set up for my place. A few things to note:
1) He is very timely and responsive: I was only two weeks away from moving into my new place, and realized I forgot to get some help with setting up the audio visual system. I found AV Druids on yelp and frantically called them. Cham was able to accommodate my schedule and stopped by the next day to do an assessment. Because some of the wires have to go through the crawl space, he recommended that all the installation be done before I move in so it won't get dusty. His team managed to complete the installation before I moved in.
2) He gives GREAT recommendation on what equipment to use: The previous owners left behind an older set of equipment so Cham recommended me to sell them and replace them with a different system. What a great recommendation. I can now use my phone to control all the music and listen to podcast, radio, and any music I have on my phone in any room.
3) His design element is fantastic. I asked for a clean esthetic and to hide all the equipment and wires, and that's what I got. The audio visual elements feel tucked away and not intrusive and the room feels really clean.
With Cham's help I now feel like I'm living in the 21st Century. :-) Thank you for a fantastic job done!!

We have a partial power outage in our house. Alex came within 30 minutes, and correctly diagnosed the problem. He also came in and installed a part on our roof needed to hold the wires securely. The service was prompt, the prive was reasonable, and communications were clear. Great service and I would recommend Alex to others.

Jerrick has been great from initial contact to completing out project. He is reliable and did a clean job with the installation of new outlets inside and outside our house. Highly recommended!
