Best Solar Electric/PV System Installation in San Francisco CA

When I think of Jothi and James from Redwood Electric, I honestly get teary-eyed.  In the middle of a train wreck of a kitchen renovation (due to our handyman/contractor, not Redwood), Jothi was the ONLY good decision we made for a while.  He was incredibly fair in his bid and returned my calls right away. When it came time to actually do the work, Jothi was great about setting up times, showing up ON TIME, and busting his bum off to get the work done.  James--his assistant--is clearly just as knowledgable and worked so, so hard.

When each part of our first inspection failed EXCEPT the electrical, I about kissed Jothi and James' feet.  And from there, they have continued to handle every issue that came our way, worked well with the variety of people we had on board to fix all the other issues our renovation faced, and did so SO calmly and professionally.  Their work was impeccable, they were 100% honest, and seriously caring towards me and my kids.  

Two quick stories to solidify Redwood Electric's greatness: all the original gas plumbing we had done had to be replaced because it wasn't done correctly.  Our (new) contractor told us that it was a VERY good thing we had hired such a good electrician because if there had been any sparks in our home then it would have exploded.  Seriously.  I was so relieved to know that our electrician had our back and everything was done right and safely.

Second story: at one point during the nightmare, we came home to no heat or hot water, without forewarning from our first contractor/handyman.  When Jothi heard about that the next day, after a whole day's work he insisted on sticking around to make sure our heat was indeed working so we didn't have to bundle our children up in sleeping bags and blankets like we had the night before.  It wasn't even CLOSE to his fault that that situation had happened; but he cared about our well-being and showed us the human decency we didn't get from others to ensure we were OK.

We still have to finish our renovation so the job isn't complete quite yet (it's up to my husband and I now); but I can say with complete ease that I KNOW Redwood Electric was the best decision we made and I will use them each and every time anything else arises.

Half of the power went out in our condo and I was hoping to get someone out the next day. T&H Electric were very responsive, courteous, and at my door the following morning right on time. They diagnosed and fixed the issue quickly and I could not be happier. I will absolutely use them in the future for any electrical issues I have.

I was having trouble getting an electrician to deal with some malfunctioning overhead lighting that was bothering my tenants. I spoke with Valery on the phone and he quoted me a (reasonable) hourly rate, describing what he suspected to be the problem. He was able to go and fix the problem the same day, which was greatly appreciated by the tenants! Before starting the repair, he called and gave me the choice of whether to repair or replace one of the lights that was really old, and quoted the cost of the materials.

The bill was itemized and consistent with what I was led to expect. Overall, I really appreciated Valery's clear communication and expertise and would definitely use his services again!

I contacted fuse to help me sort out a problem with a brand-new Bosch range which Bosch was not able to be responsive to a warranty call. Fuse arrived the same day took a look and felt that we should have Bosch do the warranty service. They left without charging me which I appreciated.

Sterling Customer Service

Customer service this fantastic is very rare these days. Even during the estimate phase, Brian, Damon and Tricia were responsive, friendly, and on time. Their bid came in as one of the lowest and we decided to go with them based on what we were reading on Yelp. So glad we did.

Brian re-piped our entire house with copper and while a few things did not go according to plan and the work went longer than we had hoped - some due to our ancient plumbing, faulty fixtures and plaster walls, one or two due to the actual work, and one old issue that we realized and added to the job in the middle of things - he and the whole team worked immediately and tirelessly to make everything right, with zero extra charge or bad attitude, even when the fault was our old house. Plus, Brian is just a really good guy, super punctual, friendly, and a hard worker. Damon and Tricia were on the phone with us, or at our home, immediately when they knew of the slightest issues, and helpful and friendly at every turn.

When they left our house this morning, our very low water pressure problems are gone, the hot water runs hotter (as it should), we have a fancy new kitchen faucet and showerhead (courtesy of them), and a 3-year old problem with crossed lines out of our tankless water heater, that we knew nothing about, is fixed.

Plus, we feel like we have new friends, due to how they treated us so respectfully and generously when things weren't going so well in the middle of the job.

We would not hesitate to hire them again. They are the real deal!

If you need an electrician Jeremy is your man.  Jeremy takes his time and does quality work.  And in my case went beyond the call of duty to get my job done.  If I need more electrical work I will definitely be giving Jeremy a call.  It's my pleasure to give Jeremy 5 stars!!

Ali was awesome!!

Very competent, worked quickly and priced right!

I will be using him again next month and he is going into my file as first to call for electrical work.

Naser and Rey were amazing! If ever you need any type of electrical work done in your home this is the company you can trust.  Their knowledge and work shows how dedicated they are to getting the job done the right way. They really know their stuff and it shows! Not only are they quick to respond but they will get the job done the right way and it is backed by their guarantee. I am amazed! Thank you.

This is the very definition of an honest business. I called with what I thought was an emergency the evening before I was supposed to go on a family trip to Disneyland. Every light in my house had dimmed and started to flicker, and all of the light indicators on my electrical outlets turned red. I didn't have a clue what was going on, but I knew I had to do something fast.

I called Archbold Electric and explained my emergency. Instead of trying to exploit my panic about the situation, the owner told me he wanted to save me some money and ran some FREE trouble-shooting with me over the phone. He then (correctly) diagnosed that the issue was with PG&E, and provided me with their emergency contact number. The issue was promptly resolved by PG&E later that evening.

I very much appreciated Archbold's honesty and integrity. The next time I have a situation requiring an expert electrician, I know who I am calling.

the electrician solve the problem right away thanks a lot

Electric Heroes was fantastic. They had excellent communication. Their quote was extremely reasonable. They are very honest as well. When they had to exceed the quote, they explained why very well and even told us that we didn't really need to install a separate line because attaching to the original line was just as safe. So they weren't trying to make additional money off us. The only thing that wasn't perfect is that the person who came out apparently tried one area first to install the outlet, and then abandoned that and put it somewhere else, leave several holes in the plaster. Other than that, great experience!

I blew out my wall outlet using a space heater in my son's room. Less than 24 hours later it was fixed thanks to the speedy and competent work of Williams electric. They responded to the automated yelp message I sent quickly, were easy to set up the appointment over the phone, reasonable pricing, he was on time and professional, did great work. Nothing to complain about, I wish working with skilled workers was always this easy.

FANTASTIC!!!
I was in need of an electrician ASAP. Did a search on yelp, read reviews for several electricians and after reading reading reviews about Pete's professionalism and costumer satisfaction...I was convinced he was the person I needed to reach out..and he was!
Pete answered his phone, with a pleasant and professional disposition. I explained my needs to have a 110 outlet installed next to the existing 220 so I could have a new washer and drier for my very first tenant, who is scheduled to moving in on Dec 1st.
My 2 in 1 stacked unit broke down on my last day at my condo and opted to replace it with a stackable/independent units, however needed this other outlet. I did not want to buy the units until I was sure to have a working 110 outlet for the new duet to be properly installed.
Pete stated he was scheduled to go out of town the following day, but managed to squeeze me in before his departure,
He arrived much earlier than scheduled, he assessed the work required; he stated he could not complete it that afternoon as he had hoped to, however, he could send an associate to assist on his behalf in order to accommodate my urgent needs.
Pete rendered the solution, a quote for the job and informed me whom would be calling the following day.
I received a call the same evening from Christian to further schedule the job and the work was completed on time, Christian did an amazing job!
Pete, thank you so much for accommodating my needs on the fly, your professionalism, and your passion for what your do to serve a community!
Christian thank you for your prompt assistance and amazing work.
I have added you both to my contacts and will certainly reach out to you in the future and refer my friends/relations to you guys!

Super professional service. We had a kitchen outlet installed by a fly-by-night electrician. Needless to say, it never worked. A friend recommended Five of Free as they had done a great job rewiring his entire house so we gave them a call. Jon was fast to schedule an assessment, and Sal was a consummate professional and all around good guy, quickly evaluating the problem and clearly explaining my options. He even showed me how to reset the GFI that had popped under my sink and stopped the garbage disposal from working. He also arranged a discount for our friend's referral. Jon quickly scheduled the work and Chris and Al got it done super fast. They were polite and professional and left the kitchen spotless when they were done. Class act.

Alex from World Electric replaced our old sub panel with a new one and we are very happy with his work.  The cost was very competitive and Alex was professional, reliable, and very hard working.  We will use World Electric again for our future electrical work.  Thanks very much Alex!

We were finishing a half done job upgrading kitchen electric including circuits, lighting and the external supply and panels. Jason was able to easily understand the situation, provide complete materials list and costs and work through the job.

The finished product passed inspection with flying colors - not a single bad mark - as home owners we were very happy!

We will certainly be going back to Anderholm Electric for the next phase of the rewire of our old Bay Area home.

Called this company because my AC kept tripping breaker, causing fan to shut off, it was Labor Day weekend and this is the only company that was available. Jayson/technician came out, checked voltage of breakers (did not check anything else) and said everything was fine and to contact AC company, so I paid 400+ since it was off hours for him to basically to do nothing. Company called me back to try and schedule  another appointment  to change whole panel out and quoted me 4000+. I told them I do not need the whole panel changed I just need the AC breaker and they refused to do it.

Had a different electric company come out today, actually TOOK BREAKER OUT to see if there was any issues, breaker was really bad and had some corrosion on it, which actually slightly melted the bus, WHICH WAS CAUSING BREAKER TO TRIP.

Wouldn't recommend this place

Ps
They also quoted me 400+ for the breaker to be changed, other company did it for 250.

I had some trouble shooting the wiring and power to the motor of my hottub.  The tech was extremely helpful. I would definitely call back for further work

Super experience. Kevin attacked the problem in an organized manner and determined problem area and then had to repair the messy job. I was really worried this was going to be a very expensive ordeal but it was over pretty fast and reasonable. Kevin must have had special tracing tools? It seemed to be a big problem as so many things not working. Lights and outlets  in one whole area of house. Nice to have everything back now that it is dark all day!

At first, they seemed to be all right.  The man who came out identified a bad GFI and said they would have to order one, which should arrive in a day or two, at which time they'd call me.  I never got a call back and had to keep calling the main office, which said they hadn't heard anything yet from the man working on my job, who hadn't been reporting in, but they'd call me when they heard something.  Later, they told me he'd been sick, which I'm not sure if I believe.  After more calls and complaints, I got them to come out and replace the GFI about a week after the initial call.
