Like many with a 100-year old house, we needed to update our electrical and have our knob and tube wiring removed. Boyes was the third quote we got, and the amount was fair and accurately estimated the cost for the job at hand. Sal, who was our account person, came out to the house and gave it a thorough walk through. He was very knowledgeable about what was needed and made a few very helpful suggestions about adding lights, telling us what was required versus optional. As a woman, I sometimes have had experiences where I felt I was being overcharged or up-sold unnecessary products or services. I NEVER felt that way with Sal or any member of his team. The guys who came to do the work were prompt, did a good job communicating the process and timeline, and the job was completed on time (two weeks) and on budget. Neri was particularly helpful day to day and quickly brought any unanticipated issues to us for discussion and approval. Every member of the team were respectful, very friendly and pleasant, and were careful with our home and its contents. Even though it is a somewhat messy job, they did a great job cleaning up and patching the holes that were required to run the new electrical. (For those getting this work done, know that many companies don't rough patch the holes that are required; Boyes closes all holes and leaves it in a state where only sanding and painting is then required.) I will use Boyes again if another electrical issue comes up. They were great! read more

I recently hired Boyes Electric for two major projects at my home: replacing my subpanels last fall and, more recently, installing a new main electrical panel and a Level 2 EV charger. Both experiences were outstanding. From start to finish, their team demonstrated a high level of professionalism, expertise, and customer service. The technicians were extremely knowledgeable, courteous, and easy to work with. They took the time to answer questions, explain the work being performed, and ensure everything was completed correctly. What impressed me most was their responsiveness and attention to detail. Communication was prompt throughout the process, scheduling was straightforward, and the work was completed efficiently. The crew treated my home with respect, kept the work area clean, and thoroughly cleaned up when the job was finished. Their pricing was fair and reasonable, especially considering the quality of workmanship and service provided. It's becoming increasingly rare to find contractors who consistently deliver on all fronts, but Boyes Electric exceeded my expectations every time. I would not hesitate to use them again for future electrical projects and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and customer-focused electrical contractor. If you're looking for top-notch electrical work backed by excellent service, Boyes Electric is an easy five-star recommendation. read more

These guys did a fantastic job adding 4 light fixtures, 2 outdoor GFCI, wiring some outlets etc. While these are relatively simple job, retrofitting a century old house comes with a lot of caveats. From Sal coming to provide a quote to them managing Berkeley's permitting regime to making sure everything is done to the strict code, they did everything well with great communication and avoided delays for my plaster and paint crew to start on time. Would highly recommend this crew and would love to work with them in the future for any of our need. read more

This team rocks! So easy to work with and the best value I've found for professional electrical work. Receptacle stopped working in my kitchen, they fixed it. Wanted two new lines added to the garage, no problem. Needed some outlets outside, done. Thanks Sal & team! read more

Professional services with clear communication. Technicians were well trained and knowledgeable.

Great electrical service - needed a couple outlets replaced and an overhead light was out. On-time, really knowledgeable, and explained everything so well, even pointed out other possible issues (not electrical) that we could keep an eye on. Highly recommend. Ask for Diego! read more

I hired Boyes Electric after talking to several contractors. All staff members were professional and friendly. Sal visited our place and identified the work to be done to meet the code. The price was reasonable. The quote was very detailed and easy to understand. I made a few changes to the scope of work and the price was adjusted quickly. Andrew showed up on the day of the appointment on time and started the work right away. The work was very clean and aesthetically pleasing. The entire project turned out to be better than I expected. I am already in touch with them for another project. I highly recommend Boyes electric to anyone looking for high quality work. read more

Super responsive, super professional. Great communicators, great back-office coordination - from quote, to scheduling, to permit application, to billing. The two guys showed up when promised and were super-polite and efficient. Passed city inspection. Highly recommend. read more

Awesome. Omar new his stuff. Very patient with me and all my questions. He explained what he was doing and found the issue. Highly recommend. Ask for Omar, if possible! read more

I want to give a huge shout to Alex for his services today! Backstory is I got my couch professionally cleaned a couple weeks back, and the machine blew out 3 of my outlets!. I tried resetting the breaker multiple times and even watched videos on YouTube to make sure I was doing it right!! Nothing worked so I knew it time to call an electrician to have it fixed... Flash forward to today, Alex stopped by to assess the problem, and long story short, I'm an idiot. All I had to do was press the reset button on one of the outlets which took him all of 2 minutes to figure out LOL. He was so professional about it though. And he even declined my multiple attempts to pay!! That was very gracious of him. Thank you Alex!! I also used Boyes Electric in 2022 to install some new bathroom lights. I wish I remembered the guys name who did the work but they were also great! Their prices were reasonable and the lowest of 3 quotes I got. I can't recommend them enough! read more

I needed a new dedicated line for the bathroom (breaker to outlet). Boyes Electric were very prompt to reply to all my questions. Very clear communication. The guys had also showed up on time, did all the work timely, I'm happy with the overall experience. Would definitely work with them in the future. read more

I hired Boyes Electric recently and I would 100% recommend them as I was very happy with the work they did. They have excellent communication, and good pricing. The service technicians were very knowledgeable and courteous. I will definitely hire them again for electrical work. read more

Installed a bathroom outlet for a bidet seat. Great communication and clean work. Highly recommend

Had a great experience with Boyes, electrician came by and spent 90min helping just troubleshoot a situation with malfunctioning ceiling lights, verifying that all the wiring was secure. He was kind, prompt, and attentive. Plan to use Boyes going forward! read more

Communication was great. The team worked quickly and resolved a complicated issue. Would work with them again.

I am very happy with the service provided by Boyes Electric. The whole process was organized, professional and reasonably priced. Having worked with many contractors of different calibers in the Bay Area, I was thoroughly pleased at the attention to detail and excellent customer service provided by everyone I interacted with at Boyes. I recently had two outlets that stopped working, Sal was the technician that came by and assessed the issue. He was cordial, informative and was a delight to work with. After answering all my questions, he drafted an estimate one business day later. Diego was the technician on the day of service. He was polite, organized and communicative throughout the entire process. I appreciated that he kept things clean and treated my home with respect and courtesy. I will most definitely be using Boyes for any future work. Thank you again! read more

Our electric wall heater wasn't working. Called Boyes on a Thursday afternoon and they came out the next morning. They found damaged/burnt wires inside the heater--a safety hazard! They checked the other heater and found the same thing, caused by the wire gauge being incompatible with the breaker capacity. The electrician Diego was terrific to work with. He was able to make a temporary fix that eliminated the hazard for the time being while we order parts for the breaker. Reasonable cost. I highly recommend Boyes Electric! read more

Probably the BEST contractor I've ever hired in my life. I'm in the Real Estate Construction business too. * Was the lowest price * Worked with PGE to get permit * Was extremely polite throughout * Was extremely - and I mean extremely - CLEAN throughout * Had fantastic attitudes throughout Total re-wire of house plus new electrical panel took about 2 weeks. We will definitely hire them again and refer them to all of our friends and associates. Thank you! read more

Easy to schedule, prompt arrival, great work (replacing a level 2 EV charger), what's not to like!?

We used them in January 2025 to install an EV charger. We put the job out for bid and they were one of the few that actually responded. They were not the cheapest (within reasonable range), but we went with them because of the Yelp reviews and would rather pay a little more for a quality job, which they did. It's been almost a year, and it works great. Pricing was transparent and it was easy to schedule and communicate. We'll use them again in the future. read more

Boyes Electric were easy to schedule, showed up on time, and did the work in the agreed upon timeframe for the agreed upon money. That puts them ahead of more than 95% of contractors already. Additionally, they were polite, professional, and transparent about everything. They were great and I have zero criticisms. I will use them again. Jobs done: install bathroom exhaust fan, install new exterior outlets, add grounding to existing interior outlet, swap out some light switches. read more

Professional, efficient, quality workmanship. I had a small job adding a receptacle in my bathroom in a remodel. Drywall had already been removed. read more

They, unlike the other outfits I contacted, were able to get someone to our house the same day I called, and he. solved our problem almost instantly. read more

Omar is really great! Came in and got my breaker fixed in 10min. Now I know where to find a good electrician

Hired Boyes in May of 2025. Simple rewiring job to run a circuit from one side of the house to the other to allow us to switch from a gas dryer to an electric dryer. Fast response, and they use the 'GetJobber' platform for managing their work so the scoping, pricing, approval, the work itself and the payment all moved really fast. From request to being done took just a few days. Very happy with the service. Boris was the tech who did the work. read more

I had a problem with the circuit box. Borin from Boyes Electric came out promptly, and diagnosed the problem from both inside the house and outside professionally and thoroughly and fixed the problem by the simplest means. I would definitely call Borin and Boyes Electric for any future electrical problem or need and would recommend their services without reservation. read more

Huge shoutout to both Omar & Diana from Boyes Electric. They were extremely affordable, professional, and beyond helpful. Omar showed up on time and explained the issue to me in words I could understand - didn't feel as if I was taken advantage of as a woman home owner. Diana did a great job working with me on the admin side to get my warranty what was needed. read more

Earlier this year, we noticed that our microwave oven would occasionally trip the circuit breaker in the garage. We were able to rule out any issues with the appliance itself, and we were concerned there were issues with the wiring or the breaker. We worked with Boyes to get the issue diagnosed, and they came onsite and replaced the breaker in a timely manner. Since then, we have not encountered any further issues with the faulty breaker. read more

I had requested for electrician service for an outdoor light and received prompt responses from these guys. Very reasonable prices and got my repair done the next day. I will highly recommend these guys. read more

The job was taking longer than I thought it would because of an optional task. I offered to pay extra and the boss responded, "We don't do change orders." read more

We were very happy with the electricians and the entire process was great, from estimating to job completion.

Good service, they did the job the same day I contacted them and the price was fair. Definitely highly recommend, thank you.

Boyes Electric company for all your electrical work! Shout out to Diego C who installed recessed lights with dimmers for me. My living room looks so much brighter now. I look forward to getting more work done. Good quality work, respectful employees, and great prices! Check them out! read more

Borin was so helpful to me with my electrical amperage and panel replacement question. He took my call last minute and spent time on the phone to walk me through exactly what the requirements are, what next steps I can take to find more information and interface with my utility company, and was extremely friendly and knowledgable. I would recommend this business for their expertise and exceptional customer service. Thank you Borin! read more

I am extremely happy about the work done at my house by Boyes Electric. I was initially worried since it was a relatively small project (installing one outlet) that no one would help me with it, and those that would, would charge an enormous amount to make it worthwhile for a visit. They provided an estimate, came when they said they would, did the work in under an hour, and my wife never knew they put a hole in the wall, they cleaned up so well. They were respectful of our house and belongings, professional and courteous. They are on my speed dial for any type of electrical work. read more

Boyes just completed the installation of our EV Charger in our garage. They (Oscar and companion) showed up promptly at 8:00 AM. Figured out how they were going to run the 240V wire from the outlet box on the side of the house into the crawlspace of the garage. It was not an easy task. They finished the job by 11:00 and had the City Inspector approve it at noon the same day. Fantastic job by Boyes and crew and will use them in the future. read more

I had a prior so called electrician install a ceiling fan in my home and it was not stable and shook when the fan was in use. I called Boyes to correct the problem and they immediately knew the problem was with the current electrical box. I had the best experience with Diego, he arrived early and got the job done quickly as well as gave us suggestions on future electrical work. I have an old home that I inherited and will use Boyes for all my future electrical needs in the future, great company and great service. read more

I had an appointment for a quote on a major job exceeding $10K. They rescheduled on the same day due to inspection issues on another job, but I was ok with that. During the actual appointment I was told a lot about permit requirements and plans that were inconsistent with what 2 other electricians told me or proposed. I had the impression that the electrician was not that familiar with city regulations and codes and PG&E policies. A month later, I also never heard back from this company or received a quote. read more
