Installed a new sub panel with minimal wall damage. Hardly needed to patch my plaster walls. Highly recommended!

Incredibly, they were a no-show twice in a row, with basically zero proactive communication. Avoid. First, they messaged they could do the job a day after initial contact (Wednesday), gave me a time they'd be there, then simply never showed up. After messaging them about it, they said they forgot to schedule the actual appointment (!). Next, they scheduled an appointment for Thursday, when they showed up said they couldn't do the job as they didn't bring enough time and need additional components. Left again, rescheduled to Monday (!). And, lo and behold, no-show again on Monday. After 45 mins, I called their office and they simply said something got in the way and they can't help it. Honestly shockingly bad. Can't rate their actual service as I've never received it, just empty promises. read more

Really professional, easy to work with, and good quality work. I've since had a second ev install where they charged a very high amount (1k) for essentially installing a nema 14-50 onto a pre-existing wiring. But aside from that value issue, the work was great. read more

I reached out to BV Electric via Yelp to have some work done in our condo - replace several light switches with newer LED compatible dimmer switches, and replace a non-working thermostat. BV Electric responded back in less than 10 minutes with some appointment options, and I booked them right away. (They had done some other work in my condo a few years back and I was very pleased then as well). The two electricians arrived right on time and were very courteous, professional and respectful of our home. All the work was done perfectly and within less than 2 hours, at a rate that was much more reasonable than some other quotes received via the Yelp project / bid process. I would definitely recommend BV Electric! read more

I had some electrical work that was needed, specifically replacing a light fixture that had an outdated bulb type. I contacted BV Electric again and had Stefan come out to work on replacing the bulb and ballast fairly quickly. Thank you so much! read more

I contacted several electricians... a few didn't respond, one flaked out, one was unavailable. BV responded quickly and ready to go, setting up an appointment very quickly. Electricians showed up at the scheduled time (both times - it was a two part job) and were all very nice and did an excellent job. They checked in at critical points and made sure things were going as I expected. They may be on the pricey side - hard to tell since they were the only ones I could even get a real response from. But I certainly did not feel wildly overcharged. I would call them again. read more

I contacted BV Electric after seeing their positive reviews on Yelp. I also noted that their office was close to the house. I reached out to them via Yelp and they responded promptly. They got me scheduled within two days. Their electrician team (led by Jaime) arrived on time (actually arrived early). I needed six old two prong outlets swapped out to three prong GFCI outlets (non-grounded). I opted to provide the new GFCI outlets and wall plates for them to use. They took care of the project in under an hour. They also cleaned up all areas where they worked. My project was neither overly complicated nor difficult (of course I was not going to mess with electrical at the house myself), but I am extremely satisfied with the work provided by BV Electric. Solid communication and I opine that their pricing is reasonable. read more

Responded quickly with a competitive price and fixed our problem on time with no fuss. Very pleased!

BV Electric is what I recommend to all my friends for their electrician needs. BV Electric able to update an old knob-and-tube electrical system to add additional outlets and lines despite being in a 2nd floor condo. Previously there was one two-prong outlet per bedroom, and the 1750sqft condo was on one line. With 4 people living in the condo, this was a disaster because it meant if someone was running the washer or dryer in one room, another person was playing video games or in a Zoom meeting, and a third person had the audacity to attempt to blow-dry their hair or vacuum, the entire condo would lose power and we'd have to navigate down the condo stairs in the dark and outside to reset the breaker. BV Electric put 4 new lines in and 8 or 9 outlets across 4 rooms (the living room and three of the bedrooms) for an affordable price. If we happen to trip a breaker now (which is very rare and our own fault for overloading with too much in one room), at least the entire house doesn't go dark and the Internet remains on as we keep it on a separate line with just the TV. This has saved us a ton of headache, not to mention helped our employment as we stopped spontaneously dropping off business Zoom calls due to losing power across the whole condo. read more

I reached out to several profesionales via Yelp to repair 4 outlets. The first professional that came over, gave me extremely high quote to repair so I passed since it didn't make any sense. Next, I scheduled with BV. The electrician came over, was very honest and within an hour fixed everything at super competitive rate. I now found electrician for future needs. read more

Thank you, Gabriel and Marcos for coming out twice and fixing the problem with the under the sink electric box. I appreciate your professionalism and caring manner. I will certainly use BV electric again. read more

I'm very disappointed with my experience with BV Electric. When they first came out, I was told they could not even estimate the cost of the project and that I needed to pay $700 upfront just to start a PG&E application in order for them to determine pricing. I agreed, assuming this was a necessary step. Once we later had clarity on the panel location and overall scope, BV provided a quote that was dramatically higher than other qualified electricians we consulted for the same work (it was double the price of any other quote). It was made clear, implicitly, that they did not actually want to take on the project, and the pricing reflected that. To make matters worse, I later learned that the PG&E application expires after two weeks, which made the paid application effectively useless. This was not explained at the time the $700 was collected. It felt like they stole my money. I don't mind paying fair prices or professional fees, but I do expect transparency. In my case, I paid hundreds of dollars and ended up with no usable work product and an inflated quote that felt designed to push me away rather than engage in good faith. read more

They are WAY OUT OF WHACK with pricing. UNREASONABLE! Get other estimates and consider using Thumbtack or Taskrabbit where you can get licensed people to do same work for much less. Heck I could have called a handyman because what I needed was so simple. Just connection only. No running of conduit etc. Their estimate was almost $3K and I was able to get everything done for $350. Everything! You have been warned. Proceed with caution. read more

Stefan and Carlos replaced an overloaded 240v receptacle and circuit breaker. They did the work quickly and knowledgeably. I especially appreciated Stefan taking the time to explain in detail the problem and the solution. He even gave me some advice on a small electrical fix that I was going to do myself. Good communication throughout, and very responsive to my messages. No hesitation to recommend BV, and will contact them again if I need electrical work in the future! read more

PGE cut my power off for a bad neutral unexpectedly. I was in a panic and needed a contractor to come install a new 200 amp panel as well as do some other conduit work. I called Miro and his crew got me back and running in no time. I highly recommend this company if you want fast response time and quality work. Everyone is very professional, responsive and great people. If I ever have any future electrical issues, I know who to call. read more

Phenomenal work, amazing people, and we gutted our entire old building, bringing everything not only up to code but also functioning beautifully. I can't recommend them enough. Their work exceeds expectations and offers the best value for the outstanding results they deliver. They truly live up to their Diamond Certification. THANK YOU, BV Electric! read more

I called today with an urgent electrical problem that my daughter was having in her home in SF (Polk Gulch). I spoke with Dushan and he was exceptional about fitting my "urgency" in (on a Friday and Halloween!!!). Gabriel and Carlos arrived on time and magical fixed the issue that I thought was unfixable. I would highly recommend BV Electric as they were professional, prompt, and very reasonable pricing. This is the kind of company that you hope you never have to call, but when you do they will solve your problem and give you piece of mind. Thanks BV Electric and Dushan read more

I want to give this company a good review but, in all honesty, this whole process has been very stressful and unpleasant. The scheduling was easy, and the electricians did the job They reattached two 12inx12in scones onto my living room wall. It was re-attaching a total of 4 wires The issue I had with them was with the billing. They quoted me a price of $169/hour. And they sent two electricians. Since I have never worked with them before, I decided it was wise to track their time. Good thing I did! They called me from outside my apartment at 12:19 asking if it was okay to park in the driveway. And when they left, I sent an email to myself to mark the time they left, it was 1:11. The next day, I received an invoice for $338!!!! WTF. What kind of shady business practice is this? What if they hadn't called before when they showed up? What if I didn't mark the time they left? I would be stuck with a bill for $338! Did the job require 2 people? Did I ask for two people? Was I told there would be two people? Reattaching two scones doesn't seem like a two-person job. So even though they did a good job, I can't recommend this business based on how the billing was handled. At the end of all this, I am the one who is made to feel like an asshole having to point this out to them. Just made the transaction very unpleasant. EDIT to respond to merchant comment: You did NOT give me a 50% discount. You charged me the WRONG amount and I had to call you out on it. Good thing I had proof otherwise I would have been stuck paying the INCORRECT amount. EDIT again 11/28: One the of the lights install DOES NOT TURN OFF. I had to hire another company to fix the error. This experience could not have been worst. read more

Can't make an appointment. Called and was told to schedule by email. Sent email, no response. Sent second email, no response. Called back and was told that is the only way to schedule. So what happens if they don't respond? Lose jobs, I guess. read more

Awesome job with the repair / diagnostic of the outlet and under cabinet lights. The repair was quick and professional

Here's the Deal--They got back to me within minutes I am speaking with them now They are punctual, do NOT try to make up 'other' stuff to upsell...this is important to me...so I know I can trust them for my next 'little' job! read more

Disappointing experience. We were overbilled, and when we asked about it, they said the extra charge covered a return visit -- though we never requested one. Now, a month and a half later, we actually need someone to come back and they're not responding. The bigger issue is the lack of transparency around billing. Wouldn't recommend. read more

I had a chandelier I wanted to have removed and replaced. Scheduling was super easy via email and photos of both. The two electricians had the chandelier replaced within the hour estimated. We had just had our floors waxed - electricians were respectful to take their shoes off and use drop clothes before working. Highly recommend and would use them again as needed. read more

BV Electric was fantastic! From the free in-house estimate to the fair and detailed written quote, everything was handled professionally. The quality of their work really stood out--they installed two outlets, each requiring its own circuit breaker, and did so efficiently and cleanly. Great value and excellent service. I'd absolutely hire them again! read more

The guys at BV Electric provide excellent service installing a Toyota EV charger in my garage. They showed up on time and the guys knocked out the job in 2 hours. They did work in the electrical box adding a 40 amp fuse and then installed the 240 outlet. Charger installed and up and working. Thanks for the great work. read more

Wow, wow, wow. I LOVE BV ELECTRIC.There was this god awful loud hum in our bathroom that we couldn't figure out. Shut off the water. Turned off all the electrical breakers. It is still humming. Is it plumbing? Is it electrical? And it is late Wednesday and we leave early Tuesday. BV was so responsive and was kind enough to fit us in. Stefan and Carlos arrived, on time. They were assessing the puzzling situation logically. Pulled down the exhaust fan. Pulled down a canned light. Peering into the empty space. Where is that sound coming from? So competent as they explored options for a very loud humming sound that wasn't making much sense. In the end, they found it. Terrific personable, competent men. I have already recommended BV Electric to our building. We need honest businesses like this one that will do a variety of electrical work. I'm glad I called them. Thank you Stefan and Carlos. read more

Unfortunately, we cannot in good conscience recommend BV Electric. They were hired to install a new 200 watt service line after the original service line broke. This was a fairly complex project. They were competent at completing the actual electrical work, but important coordination with PG&E, the city, and another contractor was poor at best. They were defensive/argumentative and we were forced to act as a facilitator on more than one occasion in order to move the project along. In addition, PG&E advised that BV did not follow proper guidelines for the project. Their inability to work cooperatively with these other entities, and to anticipate and respond promptly to issues and service requirements, resulted in the project taking 16 months to complete instead of the expected 6-12 months. Admittedly, our experience with such a situation is very limited, but we feel that the project could have been handled more effectively and expeditiously. read more

Aleksander came on time and was able to diagnose my electrical issue within minutes. Great service. I would highly recommend BV Electric for your electrical needs. I will call for them anytime I need help in the future. read more

Great job replacing an undercounter kitchen light. Mine was old enough that it used a fluorescent tube which you cannot replace anymore. This was replaced with an LED version and everything works perfectly read more

Late review but I scheduled an appointment in September of 2023 to troubleshoot my broken bathroom fan and they quoted me $169 per hour per electrician. I assumed one would come as it was just troubleshooting and not fixing anything but 2 arrived and I let them know I was quoted only for 1. They said it's a "law in California" to have 2 per job so I just agreed. I googled this "law" and it's an OSHA 2 worker rule BUT only for work on voltage more than 600 volts; a condo does not have more than 600 volts smh and the bathroom fan was 120volts. Feel like I got scammed because I'm young and a woman and agreed because I needed my fan fixed but they basically did nothing except confirm it was broken and charged me $350. Couldn't even tell me a model to replace my fan with TLDR: scammers read more

Second time I've used BV Electric. They installed two wall sconces this time. Their two guys showed up right on time down to the minute, got right to work and were done in 30 minutes. They were super-meticulous making sure the sconces were perfectly level and that I was satisfied. They were cheaper than the last company I used, so I tipped them $20 for a great job. Thanks! read more

We needed an electrician to check our office lights, and BV Electric sent Yonny and Jose. They were professional, friendly, and got the job done efficiently. They even shared helpful info for future reference. No unnecessary upsells, great service, quality work, and a good value -would definitely recommend! read more

came right on time to fix bathroom lighting electrical i had ignored for 6 months then Stephan and team fixed it within 30 minutes....friendly, professional and great price...planning to use again soon for another lighting project.... read more

Disappointed with BV electric--they came and fixed a few lights that weren't working in our place about a year and a half ago, and replaced a bathroom fan as well. The guys that came out and performed the service were wonderful, but the bathroom fan stopped working roughly 13 or 14 months after it was replaced. I emailed them to see if they could come and fix it and the lady I communicated with was not very warm and told us that we were out of luck because the warranty is only for one year. We didn't run it too much, it just stopped working one day not very long after it was installed. read more

I was very happy with the guys who helped us ! They were very professional, knew what they were doing and did the job quickly. I had them put in a ceiling fan (which seemed impossible to me) and they did it with no problem. It looks amazing. I will always hire these guys !!!!! read more

I am so pleased to have hired BV Electric to troubleshoot and replace a dimmer light switch in one of our rooms at home. I have used them previously and I'm always impressed with their professionalism, prompt arrival times and reasonable fees. Both electricians, Rigoberto and Mija were courteous and efficient. I highly recommend this local San Francisco electrical contractor. read more

After my futzing with some light switches, a circuit breaker stopped working in our place. I called BV electric and they quickly sent someone out. He came up with a stop-gap measure until a new circuit breaker can be acquired after much painful diagnosing by his part. As an extra plus , I found they can also fix a broken ceiling fan at the same time they me back out to put the permanent fix in place. Thanks again! (this is the 2nd time I've used them. 1st time was to install a car charger setup in our garage.). read more

The BV Electric team was terrific. They provided a prompt quote, and made the scheduling process efficient and seamless. Jaime and his colleague who performed the job were great--they were really nice and courteous, did high-quality work, and cleaned up nicely. I highly recommend them! read more

My house is going electric. I decided to replace my gas stackable with an electric combo washer dryer. At the time of installation, I found out there was not 240 volt outlet in the100+ year old house. Rigo and his helper Lucas came by the day after I called to inspect and provide an estimate. They went to work right away and made a true work of art. They even made sure the appliance's prong fit the outlet. Professional, compassionate, and friendly - they hit the trifecta. I could not be more pleased. They truly were worth the money. read more

BV Electric just completed a subpanel replacement for me, including fixing an old circuit for the furnace which had unsafe/illegal flexible conduit. Everything went smoothly, from the original (no-cost, no-commitment) estimate visit to the actual work today. The two workers went a bit over their ETA, but the work is top-notch, clean, and they even switched the furnace to be hard-wired, with a switched junction box (to meet code, though I didn't opt for an inspection since it wasn't required). I'd highly recommend BV Electric, and I'll be using them for 2 more small jobs I have. read more
