Best Fluorescent Light Repair in San Francisco CA

The first call I made to Eleney Electric was when I was having a housewarming party for my first home in SF and when I came home from last minute shopping noticed that my light switch was not working and out of all places the living room!!!! He came on such a short notice and hooked me up so my party of 40 would have not been like camping for adults indoors! What a business and what a guy, Fearghal came so swiftly to help in my home. I would call no other the best like I brag about Eleney Electric! Just call and you will be relieved to know he is no rookie and will gladly and safely get your needs taken care of. Appreciate you Fearghal, many blessings to your business!!!

Needed smoke alarms to be installed - the same day service! And learned that now devices are good for for ten year, no batteries needed to be changed, which is great. Thanks a million!

I know - another 5-star review for Valencia Electric - is this for real?  Yes, it's for real!  Natalie is as good as it gets!

I hired Natalie for what initially started as a small project but morphed into a large one. Natalie did the following:
- swapped out can lights in my dining room, entryway and hallway
- replaced the dining room light w a fixture
- replaced my entryway light w a pendant
- replaced my hallway light w a recessed light
- installed bar pendants
- installed recessed lighting in my kitchen (and removed the existing track lighting).  

Less glamorous, but greatly appreciated, she also updated:
- all my outlets and light switches w new plates/covers
- installed a timer on my outside light
- installed a programmable wall thermostat for my baseboard heater which was originally controlled by an on-unit dial with no temperature settings.

Service:
Natalie was extremely patient and obliging when I kept adding things to the list of items I wanted updated.  She never once hesitated to come out to give me updated estimates, all at my convenience on the weekends.

She was punctual and extremely polite.  She is quick to respond to emails and address any questions you may have.  Since I have extremely limited experience doing electrical upgrades and repairs, her responsiveness and transparency made my experience really awesome.  

One of the most amazing things about hiring Natalie is that she clearly takes pride in her work and her service.  

**My place was spotless everyday when I came home!!!**

I expected my place to be dusty and messy for a week.  I even told my housekeeper that she should plan on spending extra time on my place at the end of the week bc I was having work done.  

Work:
The work Natalie did was done with care, and she did a really quality job.  She conferred w me more than once to double check the length I wanted my pendants, the placement of the recessed lighting, and the job took just a little while longer bc she didn't like the recessed lights she originally thought would work.  For whatever reason, they buzzed and so she tried several different ones so I wouldn't have the buzzing.  

She managed to put fewer holes in my ceiling and walls than she initially planned bc she found alternate access options.  She clearly thought about what she was doing so as to make it a better experience for me, rather than just plowing forward with the simplest option.

Overall:
I can't recommend Valencia Electric enough!

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.

Fitch Electric is the best! Joshua came to quote for the first. He is very friendly and considerate. After receiving several quotes from other providers, Fitch electric is definitely the most professional. We then decide to have them to install the charging station for our EV. Apparently, Joshua has done a great job. We are pretty happy with the work that he has completed for us. A++++++

Five stars is not nearly enough.  I requested estimates from seven electricians on Yelp. I sent pictures and described what I wanted done.  I said I would like the work completed sometime over the next three days and asked for estimates.  

Four electricians wanted to set up appointments to provide an estimate and then schedule the actual work. Two electricians provided tentative rates or estimates that to my mind seemed excessive.

Jaime was the only one who provided a firm and exceedingly reasonable estimate based on the pictures and description of work.  He was available to do the work the next morning.  He showed up and immediately began working.  It took a little over an hour to complete the repair.

The before and after pictures speak for themselves.  He cleaned up a massively out of control set wires in a junction box in the garage and ran a new wire to a new outlet closer to the garage door opener eliminating the need for an extension cord.  

Jaime's English is a bit limited but we were able communicate okay.  He could see exactly what needed to be done so communication really wasn't an issue.

In terms of results, the finished project is above and beyond what I had expected.

Highly Recommend...

I found B.V. on YELP and I am glad I did. On Saturday evening, a series of lights on different floors in our home decide to stop working for no apparent reason. After attempting to troubleshoot the usual quick fixes, I called B.V. in the hope that they could send someone over on Sunday. This was important since guests would be  staying with us for a few days beginning Monday and the lack of lights near and over stairs could be a bit dangerous at night. (or require everyone to walk around with their cell phones as flashlights) B.V. indicated that someone would be there on Sunday morning at 9:00am. Miro, arrived on-time, was able to troubleshoot our unique problem and resolve this issue in a timely manner. Overall, Miro did a very professional job and I would definitely use B.V. again.

I had a chance to see Valery's work at my job before hiring him to rewire my house.  One of the things that impressed me was, asked to replicate wiring done by a different electrician on a different floor of a building, he politely refused, stating that the work wasn't up to code and would give us problems down the line.  Everything was done at the house so cleanly you wouldn't know it. He worked within my budget, gave me information and options along the way, and was completely reliable.  I also felt fine leaving him & his partner alone in my house while I was at work -- in fact during the afternoon earthquake recently I thought, Oh no, the dogs! Oh, wait, they'll be fine, the electricians are there.

Mario installed an outdoor outlet to a new irrigation timer for us. He was easy to communicate with, arrived on time, and explained all the options we had for how the work could be done. I highly recommend.

Even ten stars wouldn't be enough to describe how professional, courteous, and on point Bay Electric is. In an electrical jam? Kevin is DEFINITELY your man. From his honest, thorough bid to the way he treats his crew to how on time he was to how well he explained what was wrong with my electrical to both me and my boss to how fast he fixed it...I could go on and on. Kevin troubleshot a very large system for me and fixed everything he promised and more. In other words, PLEASE HIRE BAY ELECTRIC for your job!! You won't regret it!!

Good communication. Arrived as promised. Assessed the problem accurately. Will definitely call him again should I need an electrician.

We have an old house with mostly knob and tube wiring. Many electricians don't want to deal with it, but once we called Borin we knew we made the right decision. Borin was amazing and super communicative every step of the way. He listens, provides great suggestions, and was always on time. We can't wait to work with him again as we make updates to the rest of our house.

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.

Michael fixed a faulty outlet for me the same day I contacted him.  Recently a socket in my house sparked when I put a plug in it.  My regular maintenance person (Richard Peltzman of RMS Maintenance Services) who has helped me enormously over the years, recommended the electrician, Michael Fairholm, with whom he's had excellent experiences in the past.  Michael was easy to reach!!  He uses both phone and email and I sent him an email.  He responded promptly (within less than one hour of sending the email) and even took the time to tell me in a phone message that he'd responded by email.  As it turned out, his response had gone into my spam, so it was good that he let me know about his email.  He came by and fixed the outlet later that the same day, so I didn't have to worry about a faulty outlet in my home.  He explained everything as he was fixing it, and gave a very fair price for the work. He provided a clear estimate before doing the work, and emailed a receipt for the work before he left.  He was very efficient, knowledgeable and capable.  I would certainly hire him again for any electrical work and highly recommend him.

He was super quick and responsive. I contacted a lot of folks, and he was on it! I thought I had an electrical issue but I didn't see my GFI light and just had to reset it. So I cancelled the appointment m, but he was still nice and helpful, so I still felt that his customer service response should be appreciated!

We have used CJ Bradley Electric several times and Ross Perlee (Owner Operator) has always been a great communicator. Timely and efficient with his time and a true professional of the trade. We have also referred Ross to others and they have always thanked us for sending him over for additions, installations and trouble shooting problems.

I messaged them and they were out the next day to install a new 220 outlet so that we could change our Tesla. After looking at the outlet that we had, he showed how to just lower the amperage on the Tesla app and explained that I didn't need a new outlet. I appreciate their honesty and not charging me for something that I didn't need and they said no charge. I appreciated them saving money and bought them some lunch. Thank you!!

This company is very professional and does a great job!  Communication is very important to me. I want to know how things are going to be done and what are the options . They really listen to my questions and explain in detail what they would be doing. They cleaned up after the job was done. I had lights replaced, rings installed, smoke detectors and co2 detector. The crew worked together very well and got the job done  No Issues, No stress thanks guys

We had great success working with Phils Electric Co. The communication was quick straight from the initial Yelp project creation. Phil came the next day to review our old San Francisco 1957 home with a messed-up electric situation.
Phil is a very experienced engineer who has ideas and solutions for pretty much any problem you could have in your garage. He also knows the code and the local permit regulations well to offer the best strategy to finish the project quickly.
We had a non-trivial layout in the garage. Our water hose faucet was just 5 inches away from the panel. Phil and his partner Anthony were limited in the ways where the panel could be moved. So they offered a thinking out of the box solution to move the faucet away from the panel instead (it should be 36 away per code). Phil has plumbing skills as well and he quickly built a copper pipe extension and installed a new faucet in no time. As a result, our home was upgraded to have 125 amp service (new wire in the existing conduit), the proper grounding implemented (two 8 feet rods), the aux panel added for the future expansion, and the Tesla Wall Charger was installed. All this for less than two days.
As a homeowner who is curious about how things work and has the will to maintain my property, I was fascinated with Phil's wisdom and great experience. He gave me all the expertise on electrical, common risks, and general perspectives. So not only the work was done, but I feel confident that I can do some minor electrical improvements myself now as well.

I have hired Mike three times and he's simply the best handyman in SF.  Super nice, professional, and offers very reasonable pricing.
