Best Kitchen Light Fixure Installation in San Francisco CA
Great work by German and his team! We had overhead lights installed in our home and they did a superb job. It was easy to organize everything from getting an estimate to getting the work complete using Yelp messages and texting. The work itself was done in a timely manner and they left the area so tidy. Everything was done so professionally and completely. He even ran out to get paint that matched my ceiling since I didn't have the right color.

I have been using Fearghal for my electrical work for the past few years. He is very fast, reasonably priced, and also a super friendly, helpful guy. On one visit, I swear he knocked about 7 items off of my to-do list in about an hour, from hanging a heavy chandelier single-handedly to figuring out why a light, doorbell, etc didn't work and fixing them. And the last time I saw him, I spotted a leak, and he diagnosed it and was able to get a tile guy to my house ASAP and fix it over a holiday weekend -- not usually in an electrician's job description, but that's the kind of guy he is. Total lifesaver.

John is always prompt, professional and competent. He does the job efficiently, and his charges are fair. John is a good problem solver. Not only does he keep the lights on in the house, but he upgrades the smoke and CO detectors. When I have an electrical issue, John is the person I call. He's most reliable.

Electrical work can be a bit scary. I usually try to do simple projects myself, but when it's not a switch or plug, I start getting nervous. Such was the case with a Sense energy monitor I began to install in my main panel last week. After doing some of the preliminary work, I realized that I was a bit out of my depth.
Based on Yelp reviews, I began to look for electricians in the area. Natalie's page stood out as having good reviews on the value of her work and communication. Both of which, especially the latter, is very important to me.
We scheduled for this morning. Natalie was on time and settled in, wrapping things up pretty quickly. She was friendly, familiar with the installation, and texted me to let me know the project was complete. We tested the sensor, which worked as expected.
I don't love spending money on electrical repairs, but I'm kind of excited to hire Natalie for a future project. Would definitely recommend.

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.

I highly recommend the team at Fitch Electric and Martin Greer! I had a small job where another electrician quoted $500 and seem excessively high for the job. I called the team at Fitch and was quoted a much lower range and ended up being $350. Martin Greer was our technician and was prompt, quick, and transparent with the work that needed to be done. Thank you Martin and the team at Fitch Electric!

Jaime was terrific, very happy with his service and I will definitely call him again for my next home project. Thank you, Jamie!!
A couple of months after moving into our new home my wife and I had a list of electrical items we needed help with. We had two ceiling fans to be installed, one where there was existing but damaged wiring and another where new wiring had to be installed altogether. We had exterior lights that ran 24/7, there was no wall switch to control them and we could not figure out how to adjust the light sensor to turn them off during the day (previous owners said they let them run all the time). Lastly there was a motion sensor light in the garage that I installed and now it would not turn off.
Jaime showed up on time and was very polite. We went over the scope of the work and made sure he had access to the attic and everywhere he needed to finish the projects.
Jaime went right to work and completed everything in less than a full day, we are very happy with the work he did. I was able to install one ceiling fan myself but the other two were beyond my skill (apparently so was the garage motion sensor). We are grateful for the work Jaime did and now we have a local electrician we will call for all our electrical home projects!

I wanted a relatively simple EV charger (NEMA 14-50 outlet) install in a shared garage. I gathered a large set of quotes and was shocked at the wide range -- between $1200 to more like $6000 from start to finish. Discussions with individual electricians ranged from wildly overblown builds, to unclear reasoning, and more. Worse, scheduling and planning was a pain to turn around quickly and easily.
I ended up picking one that fell through last minute, but they recommended BV Electric as a trusted partner to use instead.
From the first to last interaction, the team at BV Electric was on top of all aspects of the install, a total breath of fresh air. The appointment for the quote was on time on the dot (low bar, but rare and appreciated!) and Jaime walked me around the space explaining what he thought made the most sense. That included talking me through the components he'd add, explaining some potentially confusing aspects of the quote itself, and explaining the nuance of EV Charging wiring and outlets.
The scheduling back-office with Dusan was as easy as I could ask for. Clear emails, a very easy and usable portal with HousecallPro, and prompt phonecalls at all times. It took me over a month to sort details with my HOA, and BV kept on top of the project and was responsive to inquiries. Especially, they were willing to supply all the necessary insurance and licensing documents required quickly and easily. I've had to drag that out of other contractors before.
Finally we got to the day of install and the team showed up, even called ahead to see if they could start early. The install was fast and effective, very clean result, and they walked me through everything. We did a last minute check with the actual charger I had, which caught a quirk of Tesla chargers (they're upside down from normal!) and we fixed it in 3 minutes.
The whole process was excellent and I'd work with BV (or recommend you use them) in a heartbeat. I've had some true nightmare contractors and even just some perfectly mediocre ones, but BV was pretty much perfect scores,a cross the board.

I spoke and texted with Mario on Monday, explaining what I wanted done. I sent him some pictures. We agreed that he would show up on Thursday at 3pm. He showed up with a smile and the exact parts we needed. He converted an outlet to be able to plug in my car charger, and also converted another outlet to a 20 amp outlet. He did both in an hour and charged a very reasonable fee. I will be calling him to for more projects in the coming weeks.
By the way, he has decades of experience and knows exactly what he is doing.

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!

Edward was great. He came on time was a great communicator to let me know that he is on his way. Edward came to diagnose and replace one of the breakers. After he left, I realized that the power to the other room is gone. I called right away and Edward came back to fix the problem. Great guy and great service!

I received two separate referrals to Boyes from friends of mine, so I contacted them to upgrade my service and install a new electrical panel.
The whole process has been flawless and executed very professionally - the person I was in contact with, Sal, answered all my questions, provided me with information to make decisions, handed me an easy to follow quote, and was super friendly as well as knowledgable. They did not try to upsell me on anything (I was initially inquiring about a much larger panel than I need and they told me straight up it's not a good use of my money and unnecessary for my house). Everything happened on the timeline they provided me with, at they dates they said it would. The work is high quality - they know what they're doing. They also made sure to keep everything nice and clean, like they weren't even here.
Would absolutely be using them again for future electrical projects. Thank you Sal and the rest of the Boyes team!

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.

Where should I start. Been looking for someone to mount my tv and do some electrical upgrades on my new home. Was on the hunt to hire someone specialized on doing these upgrades but couldn't find no one good around Tracy ca. so I heard about him through instagram saw his work and what hes specialized on. Really great guy he knows what he's doing he's been doing this for a while. I've tried doing this by myself but it wouldn't came out as perfect as his work. Better to be safe than sorry. If you guys looking for anyone with knowledge don't look further his the guy to go with. I've recommend him to several friends already. Thanks again

We are so appreciative of Ross and Trisha! Ross came out and wired our house for our generator, and we couldn't be happier! He was always on time, kind, kept a clean work environment, and did an outstanding job. We really appreciate our new set up, and take great comfort in knowing it was done well. We will continue to highly recommend them!
San Francisco, CA
Showed up at scheduled time! Professional with quick responses. Found my problem which was an easy fix... instead of charging me more to fix it told me how to do it myself. I will definitely be using watts electrical services in the future.

Noah is a great guy and had us electric car ready in no time! He was fast to respond to a request for quote, and wanted to stop by to be sure the estimate was accurate and there was no confusion regarding the work to be done. He was always on time, and got the work done quickly. He was also very honest with the entire process (including inspection). We passed with flying colors and we couldn't be happier with our plug for our Tesla 3! We'll definitely be contacting him in the future for other jobs!
San Francisco, CA
In and out in under 20 mins to fix my flickering light switch. Turns out my panel has some bad whatchacallit that were frying the circuit breaker. They noticed a few other breakers were also showing signs of distress/burning so replaced and move the circuit breakers to other parts of my panel. Fast and efficient!

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.
