Best Outdoor Lighting Installation in San Francisco CA

Had iPowerSF Electric install some recessed cans in our upstairs stair well and an outlet drop in our garage. They were extremely responsive, friendly, courteous and accommodating.

They cleaned up after themselves and were efficient with their time.

Will definitely use them again in the future.

John isolated a lost neutral nearly instantly after I mislead him a few times with my guesses. He had it fixed in no time. He was friendly, prompt, and full of knowledge.

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.

Incredibly responsive with accurate and fair priced quote. The electrician came on time. Did great install and was very flexible even with our indecisiveness.  

Hard to ask for more out of a local business

I have an ADU that lost power due to outdated equipment. I called Jaime who came over the same day for an estimate. He was quickly able to provide an accurate estimate and plan. Within two days Jaime rewired the ADU, installed a new sub panel, and ran new wiring and conduit from the main panel to the adu. Jaime is upfront, honest, reliable and worth every penny. If you're looking for an electrician look no further.

Outstanding, reliable service. Pricing can be a bit high, but worth every penny. They installed an electric car charger in my home, and the work was done on time and expertly. Will use them again for regular work.

I finally found a tech-savvy company, BV Electric. When I called, they asked me to send them email describing what work needed to be done, which was great because I could include a photo of the burned-out outlet and give them the details and photos of some Nest Protect wiring issues. They responded with email saying when they could be there. We exchanged further email about the price estimate, and they've confirmed the arrival date & time in both text and email. Rigoberto Ochoa and another electrician showed up on time and knew exactly what to do. (The installation instructions from Nest Protect were wrong.) They had everything fixed within 30 minutes. I was very impressed, and the next time I need an electrician, I'm calling BV Electric again.

Had Jun (owner) work on my property, referred him to many clients over the last few years. Even connected him with a general contractor who now uses him as his go-to electrician.  Every time I receive a thanks if I refer him. They always have a similar response: he was very easy to work with, personable, professional, and reasonable on cost...and don't let the name fool you, he speaks perfect English. I have no hesitation whenever someone asks: Do you know a good electrician? I tell them I have just the guy and give them Jun's number. I can always trust that he will treat his clients with respect, complete their job quickly, and ensure they are happy with his work!

I've never interacted with anyone like Mario. He's responsive, honest, and a true craftsman. I had Mario do a couple of things, he removed and rewired some old wires in my garage, he did that in an hour.  Later in the week he did some pretty involved work of rewiring my living room which involved multiple trips under the house.

His pricing is very reasonable and he will be my go to electrican from now. If you're looking for a long term electrician, don't hesitate to give Mario a call.

Edward responded very fast and came out the same day to check out my issue.  He was spot on about the cause and also set us up with the electricity for our bathroom renovation.
His communication was great and his work is exemplary.
I'll be calling him any time I have an electrical issue.

These guys were fantastic. Had sub panel replaced, new outlets installed and and recessed lighting installed. They were a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend and will hire them again the next time we need electrical work

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.

Great company and very knowledgeable.  They have done numerous jobs for us such as setting up TV's, Sonos music and various wiring etc.  I highly recommend them.

Phenomenal service, super responsive, beautiful results. Costs ended up about $800 higher than I'd expected but given the collaboration, the great design support and the excellent customer service, I'm happy.

Scheduled next day, Quick replacement of circuit breaker, price reasonable. Problem solved. Light went back on. Thank you
