Lawrence did an excellent job figuring out the problem and then fixing it. He was very professional and patient with me. He took the time to explain the problem and assured me that the situation will be resolved. Very nice gentleman. Thank bunch for your help! Cleopatra read more

Excellent work at a good price. We had BW Electric install an EV charger for us. The work was a bit tricky because our panel is the opposite corner of our house from where we wanted the charger. Brian was fast, professional, and always explained what he was doing. read more

Great work, great guy. We knew we needed an electrician when smoke started to come out of one of our light switches. After removing the old switch and capping the wires, I started looking for an electrician who could replace the switch and do some other stuff that I had been putting off for a while. I reached out to some friends for recommendations, and Brian was one of them. I left him a message and he returned my call within a day, and a couple days later he came out to look at the work that needed to be done. He wrote up an estimate, tweaked it a few times to reflect some minor changes, and then we were all set. He came out today to take care of it all. Among the things he did was replace a clunky old ceiling fan with a dim light, exchange out all the fan and light switches with new LED-compatible controls, replace the energy-burning halogen hall lights, upgrade the wiring in the garage, and install a new exterior outlet. He arrived precisely on time and got everything done inside of five hours, and left the place clean and neat. Outstanding work all around, and the cost of his expertise was very good. Brian is just a nice guy all around - very cheerful and chatty, and always happy to explain what he's doing. It's also great to hire a local - he was raised here in the south bay and even went to the same schools as my kids. Excellent experience - highly recommended. read more

Brian installed recessed lighting in my kitchen. He covered openings with plastic sheeting to protect the other areas in my home. I am very happy with his work. read more

Brian is fantastic. He's upgraded our main panel and done a variety of other related jobs for us. He's easy to work with, has fair prices, works quickly, and does high quality work. I highly recommend him to anyone in the area needing electrical work done on their house. read more

Brian installed some recessed lighting in my living room this month. His estimate was reasonable, his work was solid, and he was reliable. I would use him again and recommend his work to my friends and family in the area. read more

We found Brian of BW Electric through Yelp. How could we not go with Brian given his high rating. Glad we did. Not only did he do an excellent job for us, he was courteous, friendly, and professional. So what did he do for us? To begin with, he installed one picture spotlight and 6 LED lights in our family room and replaced 4 traditional overheads with LED lights. What made the task challenging is that the family room is below an upstairs bedroom which means he didn't have the luxury of an attic to run the wiring. Even so, he did the job with a small amount of cuts/holes in the ceilings and walls, something I really appreciate because that means less plastering and less painting. In addition to the family room, Brian also installed 4 LED lights in the master bedroom and replaced 3 traditional overheads with LED lights.All of this was done in one day as he had told us up front and when he left, he left the house clean. Gotta love it when a job gets done on time and you don't have to clean up afterwards! Not only was the job of high quality, it was also fairly priced. Yes, we had another electrician give us a quote for the same job and it was quite a bit more. Brian was also very patient in educating us on LED lighting. LED lighting is not like your regular lighting and requires different considerations. It was a pleasure to work with Brian and we will definitely use him again in the future. read more

Brian is very honest and has a great work ethics. Which you don't see anymore theses days. He stayed true to his bids and made sure the work was done safe and up to code. I would recommend to a friend. The only ding I can give him is you have to call to confirm him the day before. If you do you will be fine. read more

Brian was a great local electrician, he came and did a free consultation on electrical problems with our lights, and found one didn't need to be replaced, and then came by quickly to replace the others after we bought replacement lights. He was very courteous, knowledgeable, and conscious of fair pricing for his services. Now our kitchen and bathroom shine brighter (and happier) than ever. read more

Brian was awesome. I called about stripped screwholes in an electrical box, thinking I'd have to replace the entire box, which would've been a pain. He took the time to talk me through the problem, quote me over the phone, and even stopped by same-day to take a look at the issue. Funny enough, he came up with a quicker, infinitely cheaper solution, and solved it for me. Not only that, but I even learned a nifty new trick to fixing stripped screwholes that I'll definitely use in the future. Can't recommend him enough. read more

To start off, I have plumbed my own house, weld often and do a fair amount of woodworking. I feel like electrical is "wizardry". Brian and Jeff did a 4 day job at my house (kitchen redo, garage redo with 220, panel upgrade) and must say I am 100% happy. I heard of Brian from my friend who is a building inspector with a South Bay town. Brian did my friend's house during a major remodel and if my friend hired Brian, I would too. Brian and Jeff were super courteous, friendly and professional. I was so confident with them that I actually left my key with them while I was at work. The work was done perfectly and Brian was very good at including me in the progress. I am a hard critic and I must say HIRE BW ELECTRIC!!! The bottom line is the work was done RIGHT and proper. read more

Called Brian for a weird gizmo at my house (circuit breaker issues). He called me that night to schedule an appointment. He was very professional: at the time of the appointment, he called a few minutes ahead and came at exactly the time he said he would. When he came in, he quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed it. I found those guys to be very friendly, professional and the price was fair. read more

Super nice and helpful. Our power went out overnight, I called Brian in the morning and he showed up within 20 minutes of us chatting over the phone. He was very meticulous in his diagnosis of the issue, and gave very good recommendations as to what we have to (and don't have to) worry about in the future. He fixed our power w/in 30 mins and his price was very reasonable. read more

Brian came out to install a level 2 charger in our garage. He was personable and creative on how to use our 30 year old breaker box and run the conduit. The end result looks great. My friend paid more for a guy to spray wasps. read more

Brian was very professional and showed up on time. He cares about his profession and takes pride in his work. He had some great suggestions on can lighting which my wife is thrilled with. It's refreshing to get a firm handshake and quality work done. read more

Brian at BW Electric was very responsive and on time for all appointments that were scheduled. Both Brian and Jeff quickly and efficiently installed two ceiling fans/lights in my children's rooms in under 3 hours. They were both very considerate and helped to educate me on some of the nuances and safety considerations regarding the existing wiring they found. I wouldn't hesitate to call Brian up in the future for more work. read more

I highly recommend BW Electric. Pricing is fair, the work is superb, and they were very responsive and on time. I had some goofy problems in the kitchen, in a 53 year old house, and Brian had some very creative solutions to an old-wiring scenario. An electrician you can trust. read more

Working with Brian was great. Knowledgeable, insightful and a great sense of humor ^_^. We knew when we bought that the electrical needed work. Brian quickly sized up the situation, provided a reasonable estimate for time and money - and did great work! We value him as much for the great work he did as the insights he brought to our project e.g. a great media room setup, future-proofing us for a endless pool and a tesla plug (... maybe the next car). read more

This is the second time Bryan has helped out our family. The first time our daughter called him to help out her grandmother's electricial issue last year. We were impressed with his care, professionalism, and time he took to fix the problem. This year we are trying to upgrade in small ways so we can sell our house. We called Bryan for an estimate. Once we settled on the job and when it could be done, Bryan & Jeff showed up promptly and worked like pros to complete the job. He was tidy, efficient, and didn't mess around. We were at home and having us here helped settle some decisions on placement of the lighting. He communicated well and was so pleasant to have here. Kudos to you and the wonderful job you completed. We are so pleased with the outcome. Too bad we didn't do this years ago. Thank you. read more

We had Brian replace two ceiling fans in our kitchen, and install a chandelier on a covered porch. He did a great job with the fans - they look and work beautifully. The chandelier presented quite a challenge, including previously non-existent wiring that ran through an attic and the installation of a new electrical box and switch. Brian did it all flawlessly. He methodically thought everything out, and was very knowledgeable and resourceful. We couldn't be happier with the outcome. Brian was a true pleasure to work with and he will definitely be our go-to electrician from now on! read more

Brian is awesome! A bunch of lights and outlets weren't working, and he fixed everything cleanly, explaining what he was doing at each step. His pricing is also fair. I would definitely call him again if I need help. read more

I've used Brian on upgrading my electrical to 220, replacing an electric panel, installing GFI's, upgrading bathroom electrical with motion sensors, and installing a new baseboard heater. He is easy to work work, reasonably priced, and always does what he says. I highly recommend BW Electric. read more

I hired Brian solely on the Yelp recommendations. They are all right on. Brian is a nice guy, very responsive and reliable (something not usually found in tradesmen.) He will call you back and he will show up. We had him install 10 recessed lights and a ceiling in a lofted upstairs bedroom that had no crawl space; consequently, he and his partner had to do this work from the outside while we were having the roof repaired. Brian worked with the roofers -- who tore off that section of the roof so that he and his partner could install the lights from above and not tear up our ceiling fishing wires across the room. They did a great job -- the lights are perfectly aligned, they didn't tear up the ceiling to do it, and Brian and Jeff left the room cleaner than they found it. I would hire Brian again in a heartbeat. read more

Brian recently helped me switch out an outlet for my dryer and while he was there, he happily took care of another outlet which we hadn't previously discussed. He was prompt and very friendly. I would highly recommend calling him! read more

I called them up on the Monday of memorial day weekend asking when they could have someone out for a ceiling fan instillation after giving me an estimate I asked is it possible to be done today he said no earliest they could it is Thursday I thanked him and as i was about to hang up he called me a "dickhead" definitely will not be using him. read more

Brian and his assistant were just finishing a job and were able to come by today within one hour of my call. The source of my problem took some effort to locate. The men worked efficiently and methodically and explained to me what they were doing. I understand enough about wiriing to know they were doing the right things. The price was what they had quoted me on the phone. I found them to be friendly and professional, and would be happy to use them in the future. read more

Brian is a professional. I got my house rewired and he did a pretty good job. I had previous heard good reviews about him, hence asked him for a quote. I got quotes from a couple of other people. Brian's quote was in between the other two quotes. The lower quote I got was from a electrician whom I did not trust too much. He said he cannot do permits and what not. Hence, I went with Brian. Brian gave me a list of things he was going to do and he was very thorough. He finished the work in a couple of weeks, got necessary permits+approvals. It was nice working with him. I am very happy with his work. He left a couple of things unfinished but he promised to come back after I move into my house. read more

I was having a problem with the electrical panel's circuit breakers. Brian returned my call promptly and then arrived 15 min later. He fixed the problem quickly, and he checked a few other things just to make sure everything was in good working order. Very reasonable! Everything is working GREAT! I would definitely call him again. read more

Brian was great--was willing to work around my busy work schedule. He was also super knowledgeable, helpful, and fast. Really pleasant attitude and reasonable price. Would def. recommend him! read more

Brian and assistant came out to run a dedicated circuit to my microwave (previous owners hacked in a plug - eek!). They were super prompt, gave me a price quote upfront, and stuck right to it. He even programmed the time on the microwave once it was working. Thanks, Brian! read more

Brian was quick in getting me in the next day for a quote & the job the following day. He was very nice, professional & reasonable in price. I would definitely hire Brian again. read more

Brian just came by and performed a quick inspection for us. He was on time, friendly, and professional, and offered a very reasonable price. Would definitely recommend! read more

Brian solved a problem we had in our 70-year-old Mountain View house - lights were blinking and sometimes cycling on and off. Some of the wiring is original, and some was added-on in the '70s or '80s, with obsolete Zinsco breakers and panels. I had replaced a breaker and opened up wall boxes and light connections to try to fix it - no luck. Brian troubleshot the problem and isolated it to 1) the breaker I had replaced was no good 2) some downstream breakers in a sub-panel were also no good. Brian was very patient, and did not get frustrated when things didn't work right away, but kept after it until the problem was resolved. Thanks much for excellent work, Brian. read more

Had an issue with the power to my electric dryer, called Brian and he was able to get to my house within an hour of getting off the phone as he was nearby at the time. Found him to be very courteous and professional and would definitely recommend using him. read more

Brian was recommended by a friend, and we are very happy to have had his help with the installation of a ceiling fan for our toddler's bedroom. His quote was very reasonable (a quote from another electrician was ~30% more - and enough to make me procrastinate about it for almost 6 months.) Upon calling Brian, he immediately responded, and set up an appointment for the next business day. When he did arrive at our home, he was on time, courteous, efficient, professional, friendly and honest. I would definitely recommend him to our friends and neighbors. read more

Brian came by yesterday to fix a malfunctioning light switch. He was right on time and very professional. Fixed the switch quickly - it's great to have a working light in my bathroom !! Thanks Brian !! read more

Brian is an amazing electrical contractor. Knows his stuff, always on time and just a pleasure to work with. He took care of a few things in my house and when he saw the issue I was having with my ceiling fan, he was able to fix it rather than doing the larger job of completely replacing it - honest and talented! I'd recommend him to anyone. read more
