This was our second time hiring Dave at Blue Line Electric, and once again, he did a fantastic job. Dave is knowledgeable, punctual, polite, tidy, and incredibly efficient. He helped us tackle a variety of electrical projects around our home, and we were very happy with the result of every one. He works quickly without cutting corners, communicates clearly, and leaves everything clean when he's finished. It's great to have an electrician we know we can rely on, and we'll absolutely call Dave again for future projects. Highly recommend. Thanks, Dave! read more

Professional, thorough, timely service, polite, fair pricing . Would definitely use again

Dave was very responsive, gave me a quote, scheduled the time and did the inspection with good feedback, took his time explaining things. Then came back to do the outlet replacements. I'm happy with his work and will call on him again for other jobs. read more

The last time Dave came was to check out the electrical feed to our well. The pump wasn't working and I suspected it might need replacing (last serviced in 2008). Dave came and checked out the electrical supply box and said he thought the problem might be a defective capacitor, but he couldn't verify it in situ. He said he would take it back to his shop to check it out. He called the next day to say he was bringing a new capacitor to replace the old dead capacitor. The cost of the capacitor was only a couple dollars and his time charge was minimal.... He is a San Leandro gem...call him for any electrical needs. read more

Very satisfied with Blue Line Electric's work. Dave is very knowledgeable and is fast, efficient and precise in his work. Dave is personable and explains his work and the options available in a clear and succinct manner. Oh, don't let me forget - Blue Line's prices are unusually reasonable. I am a repeat customer and will continue to be. Thanks Dave for fixing so many electrical issues we had so quickly. read more

Dave came out and fixed a simple outdoor plug and looked at upgrading my fuse box. Very nolidgible and gave all the info I needed to make a decision Nothing to fancy but a great help and nice guy Would use him again read more

I've used Dave on two separate occasions, he was always on time, professional and reasonably priced.

Be prepared to pay cash or check as the preferred payment method. read more

If I have an electrical project, Dave's my guy. So far, I've hired him a couple of times and my experience has been great. He's installed my security doorbell and put in a new electrical outlet in my garage. My house was built in the '40's and due to that these type of projects are never simple. Dave's extremely competent and knows what he's doing. I trust him. He's also very responsive and reliable. An added bonus, he's a cool guy that's fun to chat with. read more

I called Dave with Blue Line Electric yesterday, and he was able to come out the next day and resolve the electrical problem. He addressed all my questions clearly and concisely. Very professional; the price point was in line with other local electricians. I'm both relieved and happy I found a local, knowledgeable, honest electrician. If you look on the Nextdoor app, you will see all of the neighbor's reviews are positive. read more

I am so impressed with Dave's work. I forgot to tell him before he left, but he is definitely our guy for all things electrical. First response was quick, easy to get him what he needed for quote. The quote was super reasonable . The job: He installed a new outlet and conduit for a wired outlet from the 70s. He showed up right on the dot of the appointment time, had such a great attitude (which helps when you are super stressed about house work,) The job was done beautifully and matched the quote. All in all, super impressed and will definitely be calling him and Blue Line in the future for our house electrical needs. read more

I needed to update my electrical panel since my house was built in the 50s. I received several estimates from local contractors before my wife and I decided to select Blue Line. They were extremely professional and laid out the options and timeline very clearly. They also were able to coordinate with PG&E and the city of Oakland permits. I was very pleased with the work and the price. They were not the least expensive but they performed excellent In line with the estimated cost and timelines. I strongly recommend Blue Line Electric for anyone who has minor or major electrical projects. read more

I had an issue with what I thought was my circuit overloading. I spoke with Dave on the phone and provided preliminary details. He had an assumption that it was an issue w/ my circuit breaker and not an overloading issue. He swung by a few days later to diagnose the situation and his assumption was correct. He went to home depot to get the right circuit breaker and the my electricity has not gone out since. I highly recommend Dave for any job you might need. He was very knowledgeable and even taught me a thing or two. He is a one man show so he may not pick up the phone right away. But if you shoot him a text he'll definitely get back to you. Not only did he quickly diagnose the issue but he was also very friendly! read more

I had decided to add some lights to a room that didn't come with any. In doing so I was able to wire everything up but the switch. I found Blue line through reference on Nextdoor and am very thankful I did. Nothing but professional and punctual. Dave made himself available quickly and was able to take care of everything with relative ease in the same day. He was also very fair in terms of pricing. You get what you pay for and with Dave that's quality. Very satisfied with the work and will definitely be reaching out to him again on future projects. read more

I just bought a condo but the bedrooms, living and dining rooms had no hardwired lights. Dave met with my dad, who really liked him off the bat -- he had good ideas and told us not to bother with a few things, or wait and see and we can add it later. He was super reasonable with his pricing as compared to everyone else we got bids from. He did really great work, was fast and conscientious about cleaning up. Great experience and will use in the future. read more

We recently contracted with Dave for a job that required wiring an in-ground trampoline and outdoor Jacuzzi. Additionally, we needed to enhance our capacity to be able to handle things like air conditioning and for potential future projects, such as preparing the way for an electric vehicle. We would highly recommend Dave for any electrical needs you may need or be interested in. His dedication to getting the job done regardless of the circumstances was remarkable. Things we loved about Dave was that: 1. Though clearly knowledgeable about all things electrical, he consulted with other trusted electricians to conceive of the best possible solution. We witnessed first-hand his process for problem solving, as he asked another electrician to come to the work site and help him troubleshoot and narrow down solutions in a situation where there may be many alternatives. 2. To wire the Jacuzzi and hot tub, it required that he go through 25 or 30 feet of solid bedrock for underground wiring. We spoke with other electricians who felt that this would make the job too difficult. Dave was not only able to complete the job, but the solution was elegant, and continues to work without a hitch. 3. Delivered ahead of schedule - we watched as Dave committed to working days, sometimes in scorching heat, to finish earlier than expected. 4. When working within our home to do some odd jobs, such as adding additional electric sockets and dimmer lights, Dave was able to identify where other electricians may have wired things incorrectly and/or sub optimally and after explaining the situation, simply corrected the problems as a matter of course while completing projects we assigned. We very much appreciated his willingness to do this and not charge as a separate project, but simply took care of things where needed. Because of Dave's attention to detail, dedication, efficiency, and willingness to roll up his sleeves to solve problems, we highly recommend Dave to help with your electrical needs. With something as serious and dangerous as electricity, it is important to have someone in your corner who is serious and knows what they are doing. Dave fits that description perfectly. read more

It's hard for me to say enough good things about working with Dave. He has done everything from tricky and delicate chandelier installs above our table (looks beautiful and perfectly installed) to running a fresh 50amp wire through our garage up to the kitchen for a new appliance. He's become our go-to for any electric project around the house. He is prompt, responsive, communicative, fair and exceptionally knowledgeable. He is quick to understand problems and help find solutions. He's always thorough. And he's an incredibly nice guy. His attention to detail is unmatched and I'd recommend him without hesitation for any electrical job. read more

We have used Blue Line twice now. Both times Dave responded promptly, and did the work professionally. Our house was built in 1939 and has a few quirks and issues. Next up: lighting in the kitchen. It is really important to have an electrician you can trust, and I feel we have found that person with Dave at Blue Line. read more

I knew he was all business as soon as he came back into the house with his tool bags and headlight on. Dave was quick to find the problem, and solved my it in less than 3hours. Other electricians wanted to add and up sell me. This was definitely not the case, I'm very happy with the results. Thank you Dave!! From 281 read more

Dave was responsive, showed up on time, quickly diagnosed the problem, and was clear and communicative throughout. He fixed three receptacles in around an hour and a half, for a reasonable price, and he left us with a better understanding of our house's electrical system. Much appreciated, and we'd definitely call him again! read more

Pretty simple and straightforward job of installing an exterior NEMA outlet with a locking cover for a level 2 EV charger on our ADU, utilizing a pre-existing (and unused) dryer outlet on the interior. Dave was on time for the initial examination and estimate and was very professional. He arrived within the time window allotted to do the actual work and did a great job. He was referred to me by my neighbor across the street and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for your electrical needs. read more

So nice to do business with good business people. Dave was very honest, prompt, and explained everything to me. He and his team were clean and very respectful of my home, they cleaned up after themselves and I am thrilled with the work they did. Definitely going to hire them again next time I need electrical work. read more

I highly recommend Dave of Blue Line Electric Company. This was our 2nd time using him. He was so good the first time, so we called him again. We needed him to investigate and provide an estimate on the entire electrical grid of our house. He arrived 2 minutes early. Very prompt. Had a mask on and everything. I can't say enough about Dave. He's extremely intelligent, resourceful and gave clear explanations for everything. Had great ideas & opinions. We tried to pay him for his time, but he said no. He did the estimate for free. I would not hesitate hiring him every time. read more

Awesome experience. Dave was very responsive via Yelp messenger/quote. He was on time for both the initial quote visit and the actual work. Very professional, knowledgeable, good work, and reasonably priced. Very satisfied with the overall experience. Thank you. read more

Breaker popped wouldn't turned back on. No lights in kitchen, bathroom, living room and washroom outlet, forch porch light out. Called at opening left message returned call right away and came out within hour. Found a short, replaced breaker and checked and replaced several outlets. Explained everything he was doing as he went. Fair price, great work. Will definitely use him again. read more

The most wonderful, honest, knowledgeable and helpful electrician ever! Dave helped us once with our back patio lighting that my husband had started. Dave called back right away to schedule our appt, was on time for arrival and was so knowledgeable to find where we went wrong and fixed our problem right away. Almost a year later, we started having trouble with a back patio outlet. Dave again called right back and came over to assess our problem, and decided this is something we could fix just as easily ourselves and talked my husband through it. Zero charge for the visit or the advice. When we started having problems again with that same outlet, not only did he call us back on a SUNDAY when he's not working (though I did say my husband was trying to do it himself with YouTube), he was again able to talk my husband on the phone through the issue (turned out to just be a kinked wire). You won't find a more honest, knowledgeable and experienced electrician than Blue Line Electric. We are incredibly grateful to have found him! read more

Dave was such a pleasure to work with. It was very easy to communicate with him. He's very thorough and concise with his work. He explained each step of what he was doing. Dave even took the time to explain what materials he used and why. He came in less than 24 hours after I called him. Highly recommend! read more

I used Blue Line electric recently and had a very great experience. Dave was timely in responding to my request and in providing a quote. His rates are reasonable and similar to other quotes I received. Dave was able to schedule me quickly and did a great job installing a couple of new light fixtures in my home (with mask on!). Aside from the professionalism, he is just a really nice/pleasant person. I highly recommend Blue Line Electric! read more

I asked Dave to come by and quote to have a 240v outlet installed in my home. He was very prompt and came by and offered a very reasonable price for the install. We scheduled a date for the install and he arrived on time and finished the job impeccably. read more

Best electrician I've ever worked with. Really thorough, clear, and competent. I would t work with anyone else ever again!!

I called Dave based on the review here on Yelp! Could not be happier with his professionalism and hard work. Had dead outlets and a funky kitchen light. He fixed one outlet that took care of the entire room, and the kitchen lighting could not be any brighter. Educated me more about my new house!! I called him again today, for repeat business. He was up front of what work had to be done, tied it in line with the work that I wanted to get done and put it all in perspective with the current Code. Looking forward to him starting on that job on Monday. Flexible hours. Reasonable prices. Very professional! Dave will continue to get my repeat business and referrals! Thanks Dave! read more

I was just writing a review for a great plumber and it occurred to me that I've never written a review for the best electrician I've ever used. Let me repeat that. The BEST electrician I've ever used. Between the house and the coffee shop I used to own, and remodels done at both, I have interacted with many, many electricians, plumbers, etc. Dave of Blue Line Electric is by far the best electrician we have ever used. He is polite, communicates clearly, has done a spectacular job of figuring out electrical problems quickly and efficiently that other electricians had completely given up on. He does fantastic work and is reasonably priced. read more

Dave is by far the best of anyone I have hired to work in my home. I hired him for multiple lighting and electrical work, starting over a year ago, and am still happy and beyond satisfied with his work. He is very professional, asking all the right questions about the job, never charged more than his quote/estimate, shows up at scheduled time, explains what he's doing in a friendly way. All of my lights, etc are still beautiful and work perfectly. I would definitely hire Dave at Blue Line again. After the first job and seeing how stress-free it could be hiring an electrician, I targeted the worst lighting situations in my house and updated them. Dave helped me find less-costly stuff that I could order online by writing down the specs I needed (yes, you can get pretty nice lights even chandeliers at amazon and home depot!). One thing I have to admit, I was shocked at his cost (or any electricians cost?) the first time I hired him, however - he does quality work that I found worth every penny! The whole reason anyone hires a professional is because they have the training, tools, experience that the average homeowner is not likely to have, plus he's up on current codes and works very safely. read more

Dave has done work for us at Zocalo Coffeehouse on numerous occasions and recommend him highly. I enjoy working with Dave as I trust his judgement, he's always been more than fair and careful in all his business dealings, and does the job right. He's the only electrician I call. read more

Quick response. Did a great job explaining everything. Receptive to questions. Finished the job quickly. Super prepared. Thanks Dave!!!

Saved me - I couldn't get my garage door open and no manual vault! Trapped He picked up my desperate call at 7AM in the morning. He came when I asked him to and he fixed my problem without any problems. Cheaper than expected. He listened to my crazy talk for 10 min, humored my animated panic and pleas. Then he calmly did what he needed. Tested, fixed, and was out within an 1 hr. He had the right breaker in his van, because our house had an older panel that required special parts that would take days if purchased online. Great attitude, great price, and fast service with flexible timing! Thanks for helping out a girl! read more

I cannot express how lucky we are to have Dave nearby! We bought a home in San Leandro a few months ago and needed an electrician to "ground" our electricity (older home) before our cable company would install the TV and Internet we can't live without. We searched Yelp and found Dave and since then, we called upon Dave again this past week to update the wiring and lamp in our garage, plus install a motion-detector light. Everything looks and runs like a charm! Dave is beyond professional. He: a) has a personality (gave us a great tip on a restaurant to try...which we did! And it's delicious!) b) does impeccable work and cleans the space when he is finished c) sets himself apart by being fair and direct! Example: We asked him to provide an estimate to install a ceiling fan -- he actually asked to look at where we wanted to place it before quoting a price. He checked out the crawl space, if we had enough support to hang it, etc. And in the end, he actually suggested NOT using an electrician for the job and instead considering an attic fan. Without any hesitation, 5 stars. We're already trying to find other projects we need help with! ... I think a timer for the porch light might be next! read more

Needed to find an electrician fast, woke up this morning with a few of our outlets not working, I went on my NextDoor App to find recommendations and found Dave owner of Blue Line Electric, he came out and found our issue, fixed it at a reasonable price, if I could give him 10 stars I would. Thank You Dave and God Bless :-) read more

Ed at Bonafide Plumbing recommended Dave and glad he did. It was a Saturday and we received a message that our gas range being delivered a couple days early which was first thing on Monday morning. I forgot we'd need our 240v from our electric range walked down to 120v. Called Dave on Saturday afternoon and he called back within an hour and said he could be here Monday at 10am, which is what time I told him the range was being delivered. He showed up at 10am SHARP, installed the 120v in our kitchen and even fixed a couple of things that weren't even a part of the job. He didn't mention it, but I knew he was doing some extra stuff for free. He also gave me some advice and explained some electric stuff to me so I'd have a better understanding out how stuff works in my home. Great guy, honest, timely and reasonable rates. As a matter of fact, I have him coming back to do some wiring in the garage. read more

Dave was very responsive, honest and came over half an hour after our phone call. The outlets in one side of my living room and bedroom were not working. Dave identified and fixed the problem outlet, which slowly burned out over time and we didn't know. The other outlets are now working fine. We'd highly recommend Dave and Blue Line Electric! Thank you Dave! read more

The owner, Dave, knows his stuff. He's very responsive, accommodating and easy to deal with. He installed 5 outdoor lights, 2 pendants and 2 chandeliers. Perfect job and no problems months later. Yes, I would gladly use him again. read more
