One day recently around 9 PM, I had the main breaker shut off at my house due to some electrical short, and it would not flip back on (it was stuck in the off position). I had no electricity at all, and plenty of work I needed to complete over the next couple of days. I called 11 electricians that night, hoping someone might have a 24-hour service and could charge me to come out and fix it. Only one person answered: Eddie from A 24 Electric. Not only did he answer, but he talked me through the process to reset my stuck breaker, spending 30 minutes on the phone with me, patiently, and talking me through this whole situation. The most incredible part of this call was that he was on vacation overseas, eating breakfast in another country, when he answered. When I found out he was on the call I tried to apologize and excuse myself but he really wanted to help me fix the problem before I hung up. By the end of the call, my power was restored and he did not ask for a dollar for his time. Few companies would ever provide this level of service, even for a fee. The fact that he was so helpful, after hours, and on his VACATION no less, speaks volumes about his character and business. I will always recommend this company in the future due to this level of service. Thank you again for the help! read more

He picked up immediately and was very nice and asked for photos and explanation. He charges $360 to come out and $720 if it is after hours.

Fast weekend service to diagnose an issue with PG&E. Helped us navigate the process to get them to service us same day.

Eddie was able to troubleshoot an electrical outage we were experiencing and he was able to root cause the issue without even stepping a foot in the house. I think that speaks to his skill set. Thanks Eddie read more

Communication with this business has been disappointing. I reached out for an estimate, and while there was an initial response, the follow-through stopped entirely. Reliable communication should be a minimum when considering a business for future work. read more

Eddie is a fantastic electrician to work with! He helped my teenage son fix a faulty daisy chain smoke alarm that wouldn't stop chirping. He is kind and honest and my son and I can't recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Eddie!! read more

Eddie was great - we talked through our electrical issue on an evening call and he was able to quickly diagnose it and tell us how to fix it (for free!). Friendly and great service! read more

I am so thankful i found Eddie! A truck hit the power line connected to my house and knocked out my home's electricity. PG&E told me i had to find an electrician. Eddie to the rescue! He upgraded my service (one of my long-term goals), did a flawless installation, and worked with the City and PG&E to get my electricity up and running!!! I don't know what i would have done without him! And the house is now ready for ev charging! Thank you, Eddie, for taking care of everything every step of the way and saving my sanity! read more

Eddie is a very gracious and expert electrician. I had eight fire alarms replaced in my house. He was prompt, efficient, and changed all of the alarms. When one alarm started beeping a month or two later, he changed it without charging any fees. I would strongly recommend his services. read more

Can't say enough good things about Eddie at A 24. My electricity went out in my living room and I went downstairs to look at the power panel I really couldn't tell what was wrong. So I called A24 on a Sunday in the morning. Eddie not only answered the phone, he helped figure out what was wrong. Photo of the panel and text it to him, had me go upstairs and check some stuff, back downstairs and then he finally figured out what switch needed to be turned back on. And get this - he didn't even charge me. I recommend this electrician. read more

Best and most efficient electrician we have ever used here in SF, really helped us out of a very tough situation. Very clean and professional work, highly recommend! read more

Nice guy. Responds fast, but I didn't use his services. We spoke on the phone, he explained what could be the cause of the problem, and quoted a troubleshooting fee for coming to the house. Yes, the other reviews are correct in that he's on the expensive side. You can find other electricians that are more than half the price with just as many years of experience. Hope your emergency doesn't occur on a holiday because he'll charge extra for that too. Maybe the quality and expertise justifies the price, but at the end of the day, most people who aren't millionaires just cares about the power being back on. read more

I called the electrician on a late Saturday morning when we partially lost power in the kitchen due to a blown circuit breaker. Eddie answered the phone. He arrived on time, i.e., within the timeframe he set, which was about two hours later. He replaced two circuit breakers, the one broken and one failing, and cleaned corrosion from the circuit box. He gave important heads-up information for potential future issues and worked very efficiently, finishing in about an hour. I'd give him ten stars if I could. read more

Superb customer service at a very reasonable price. We had two pendant lights installed and the tech nailed the work - thorough and done with precision. We were very pleased. read more

So kind and helpful! Quickly and efficiently walked me through fixing a simple problem over the phone rather than charging me money and taking time. I could not be more grateful. If I need help in the future, I will for sure go to him - he is clearly knowledgeable and has great ethics. read more

Eddie is the best. He explained everything I needed to know so clearly. He could teach a course on electricity. Prompt, fast, prepared, I absolutely appreciate how professional and respectful he is. read more

This guys is NOT an electrician! He is totally incompetent and has no honor or conscience! He is a crook and a scoundrel. He ripped our family off by coming in and charging a stratospheric fee to install 2 basic cameras, a light in the garage, and a simple thermostat. He installed a front door camera incorrectly ruining the appliance and forcing us to spend extra money to replace it. He never connected the cameras so we had to hire someone else and pay separately to replace the broken part and hook the cameras up. He wasn't even capable of installing a thermostat! It was so pathetic! He actually had the nerve to watch YouTube videos for an hour in our presence because he was clueless on how to do it! Even after wasting the whole day, he didn't do the job and the stratospheric fee went to cover an installation of the garage light. read more

Eddie is fantastic! A long winded, short story. I searched google for doorbell repair, called and Eddie answered. kept searching, different number, Eddie answered again. yikes! He knows I am shopping around. I sent a photo, he told me his price, I questioned, he told me he would be be out and fix it.and he was true to his word. At first, I thought this guy is either arrogant or confident! I went with confident. I sent photos, we went with a window, he called the day of to let me know he was early, we started and hour early and done before the window started. Eddie is meticulous, as his card says, clean shaven, respectful, well dressed, has a few good stories, beyond efficient as he has what he needs to complete the job. Do not have a doubt about this master, he is quick, knows his craft and this is a review about a door bell! I would hire Eddie for any electrical need. Much appreciation, Eddie! read more

I asked Eddie for a quote to wire a kitchen. He let me it would cost somewhere between $15-25K. I put Eddie in the "expensive" category when it comes to electricians. I don't like to spend money I don't have to, so I'm going with someone else. That said, he is very polite. I do believe his work is solid. You often get what you pay for. Quality work can come at a very steep premium in SF. read more

This electrician is EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. He charged $1,800 for a 1 hour and half service for installing the new light fixtures that I bought on my own. I feel completely ripped off. I DO NOT recommend this electrician. read more

I write this with hesitation because this guy is an expert in his trade and he was able to solve my problem quickly. I have no problem paying a premium for highly skilled, knowledgeable tradesman. However, like many others here, I feel that I was grossly overcharged, and I wish I had read through these reviews before moving forward. read more

Had a electric switch in garage that was audibly making a sizzling noise when turning on or off so i quickly went to yelp and looked for an electrician and luckily found Eddie/A 24 Electric! I explained the problem to Eddie and sent a picture of the switch that needed replacement. He stated that he could be there between 4-5 pm which was fine with me but awhile later i got a call from Eddie stating that he could be there by 2 pm! He promptly arrived 15 min early and quickly went about replacing the switch quickly and efficiently. I will be calling A 24 Electric back for some other work that i have been waiting on til i found a reliable and experienced electrician. Steve P read more

Eddie did a great job fixing my broken metal gate buzzer today. He was very knowledgeable, skillful, friendly, meticulous, prompt, and professional. He answered all my questions and even taught me some things. Quality work. Would use Eddie again. read more

We had our kitchen counter outlets replaced and rewired by A24 after new countertop installation. We were very happy with the speed and quality of work. It's really good to know those outlets are grounded and it looks great. Sorry I took a while to review, I thought I had published but it was only in drafts read more

When our power went out on a Sunday night, Eddie was quick to answer our call and offer to help us free of charge over the phone. Thankfully the issue we had was simple enough for him to diagnose and give clear instructions to fix. He was also forthcoming about the cost of the alternative (an emergency in home visit which will have cost quite a lot). I'll be using their service again if needed. read more

I wish I had read more reviews before hiring Eddie. Unfortunately I didn't get to the ones about him overcharging. I hired him to provide and replace 2 outside motion sensor lights, repair an outdoor junction box and replace a dimmer switch in one of the bedrooms. All simple stuff. He was there for 1 hour and 45 minutes and charged $1680. That includes $95 dollars for a dimmer switch and $45 for an LED lightbulb. He didn't list the price of the the outside lights on the invoice but assuming they were $80 each that is $1360 for labor - or about $700 an hour. He charged $295 to show up (and $65 for travel) and then $295 for each thing he did, no matter how small eg replace a dimmer switch. I was so stunned I paid him, but then I began to feel very ripped off. I texted him and told him that and he called. He reduced the price to $1000 and said he would send me a check. The check never arrived. I texted him again. This time he sent me the $680 via Venmo. I still ended up paying $1000 for a job that should have cost far less. It also caused me a lot of unnecessary stress. Not recommended. read more

The pluses. Eddie came out on a weeknight with almost no notice. He was very helpful, and did a great job. He fixed an electrical malfunction that could have been serious. He was such a nice guy and I greatly appreciate his promptness and his skill. The minuses. Expensive is an understatement. Just to make a "house call" in the evening was over $600! On top of that, there was a "travel charge." Ironically, the cost of doing the work was less than the house call and travel costs. I was over the proverbial eight ball and had no choice but to have an electrician come out - but wow, the cost of having him come out on a "rush" was shocking. The conclusion. Eddie is great if you need good service, at any hour, and are prepared to pay a huge amount for the service. read more

If there was a 20 start review, I'd give it to Eddie and his business. Electricity went haywire at my house. Anything with a motor stopped working. The washer turned on and all power in the living room went off, plus I smelled burnt wire. It was scary. I had one electrician come out, nice guy, but it was clear he wasn't sure what the problem was. So he just suggested changing a bunch of stuff and gave me a pretty high estimate. I contacted four others, NO ONE answered their phone, and as I write this NONE has yet responded to my call. Then I found Eddie here on Yelp and called because of the reviews. Oh, my God! Answered the phone. Inside of 5 minutes - over the phone - Eddie diagnosed the problem! Within two hours, the issue was fixed. (btw, none of the things the first electrician was going to do would have resolved the issue) On top of all that, Eddie is not a money grabber. He is more than fair, he is kind. Thank you Eddie. Never calling another electrician again. read more

We realized the refrigerator in the garage was not working and tried to troubleshoot it. We have a lot of extra food in the freezer so needed to move fast. It turned out the outlet was dead so we tried to reset it and flipped the breaker. Nothing worked so we called Eddie who requested a photo of the main panel. He called me back a little while later and walked me through a series of steps and voilà, the light turned green and the refrigerator started humming again! All of this free of charge! It's really nice to know that there are still good people out there that will try to help out of the kindness of their heart. Eddie seemed like a genuinely nice guy and we are so appreciative. We absolutely will call them first for any electrical needs! read more

Multiple lighting issues resolved within one hour including the installation of two new fixtures! Eddy with A24 Electric is excellent! He was willing to fit our jobs in and acame over promptly and took care of business. If we could do a bonus sixth star we would for his awesome advice and recommendations on piano instructors for our son! Would definitely call him again for any electric projects that go beyond changing a light bulb in our house. read more

He was able to resolve the issue. However, he will add costs wherever he can such as a $40 processing fee. for using a credit card. I just saw the response to my above comment. The concerns are much greater than I previously expressed. read more

Can't say enough good things about Eddie! :) He was prompt, calm (which was good because I was in a panic), and solved our issue in under an hour. More than that, he clearly explained the problem to me, was upfront about the cost, and walked me through every step to make sure I understood what was he was doing. Will absolutely call him again with any other electrical issue. Thank you so much, Eddie!! read more

Our wired smoke alarms - started going off at 8 pm, despite having the right batteries and a ladder to get to them all (vaulted ceiling) nothing worked. Eddie walked me through safety steps remotely to turn off power and remove them to stop the beeping. Outstanding service and advice, and saved me and my spouses sanity. Exceptional service, and caring! read more

Eddie is very reliable, professional yet very friendly. I called him to inquire if he can help me with the repair of the wiring of my intercom. He responded promptly and before I know it he was at my apartment assessing the issue, offering me options and pricing. I called him on Thursday and he finished the work on Saturday. I am happy and grateful that my Intercom is working again! Thanks to Eddie! read more

Eddie did an excellent job on my home. Eddie got all the permits taken care of and knew what the inspector would be looking for. A 24 Electric did a big job at my house and completed it in a timely manner, trustworthy fair and fast with service! Would highly recommend to anyone requiring a skilled electrician. read more

Eddie is awesome. My go-to electrician. He was able to quickly diagnose and fix my issue, saving me some money!

Eddie is amazing, he gets top marks. I had some temporary power setup on my construction site, and it kept shorting. Eddie walked me through the issue over the phone, saving me a site visit. Sometimes these issues are pretty simple, I just needed thicker gauge extension cords on-site. But electrical issues can be scary for those of us who don't know the ins and outs. Eddie alleviated all of my concerns, talked me through the setup for about 10 minutes, and I haven't had any issues since. Thanks Eddie! read more

Eddie is amazing, this guy knows exactly what he's talking about and is very honest and straightforward. He is very personable and gave honest estimates. Even if it's a small jobs he was able to share and help over the phone. I would highly recommend him as he is certified and knows exactly how to diagnose and fix any issues. He's always very reachable and never fails in communication! read more

Eddie was truly fantastic. I blew a fuse and thought we needed someone to come out and fix it. But he was so kind and walked me through everything on the phone and fixed the issue. He was very patient and kind and I am so grateful. read more

Wow! Eddie is truly a master of his craft, not to mention extremely down to earth, patient, and intelligent. Because of his careful explanations, attention to detail, and patience to fix what seemed like a never- ending mix of problems, He was able to resolve the situation quickly, safely and effectively.. even taking the time to share with us important basics in electricity! Not to mention, my problem resulted in needing PG&E and Eddie not only spoke to them on the phone several times, but waited with me for them to show up and explain the situation. I couldn't have gotten thru all of that without him! If you are in a jam, fear not as he knows how to save the day! Thanks again Eddie!! read more
