Roger Lin is an awesome electrician. I just paid and he took care of everything, including permits with the city, the communications with PG&E, and the price is about 1/3 of the other local electricians quoted. He came and finished the planned work as schedule, with almost no disruption to our tenant. 10/10 would use him again. (Bonus: he is also a great fisherman!) read more

Had a really great experience with Roger from Formosa Electric! He is a super friendly, honest, and professional guy.

Looking forward to working with Roger again in the future! read more

I put a screw through the main electrical line feeding the subpanel. Called and he talked me through some steps to diagnose and fix. If it had been fixable over the phone he would have been out of a job. No luck but he was able to come by that afternoon. Determined the problem, set me up with partial power, and returned the next day with the correct supplies to permanently fix. Cost was reasonable, reponse quick, and the repair was first rate. read more

Highly recommend! Roger installed our new ceiling fan and accommodated a last-minute request to replace our recessed kitchen light, which we really appreciated. He was honest, professional, and reliable. His pricing was fair, the installation was clean, and he paid close attention to detail. The quality of his work was excellent, and we'll definitely use him again for future projects! read more

I had one of the best experiences working with Roger from Formosa Electrical. After PG&E shut off the power to my home because my electrical panel had become a fire hazard, I needed someone who could respond quickly and handle a stressful situation. Roger went above and beyond. He worked over the weekend to replace the entire electrical panel, minimizing the time my home was without power. What truly impressed me was his knowledge and strong working relationships with both the city and PG&E. He handled the permit process, coordinated the city inspection, and helped get PG&E to restore my power within just a couple of days. From what I understand, this process can often take several weeks. Throughout the project, Roger was professional, responsive, and clearly experienced. He made a difficult situation as smooth and stress-free as possible. If you're looking for an electrician who is knowledgeable, reliable, and committed to getting the job done right, I highly recommend Roger and Formosa Electrical. read more

Roger is excellent. From the very first meeting to doing my panel upgrade he and his crew were here on time every time. The bid that he gave me was the lowest out of four other electricians.

Formosa Electric did an excellent job. Roger was genuine, communicative, and extremely knowledgeable.

I needed to upgrade my electrical panel from 100 to 200amps. I got quotes from three electricians including one from Formosa Electric. Roger who is the owner provided the best quote which included permits with the City and coordination with PG&E. My existing panel was recessed into the stucco wall which I wanted in the upgrade but Roger recommended a surface mounted panel which I'm glad I went with for ease of adding future conduits into the panel without penetrating into the stucco wall. The quote would not have changed if I decided with a recessed panel. The day of the work could not have gone any better than expected. Roger set up a generator before PG&E cut off power. He does the work with his assistant and they worked fast! There was stucco repair work, new riser at the roof and the panel itself. I happen to have extra paint and they painted the stucco. Roger coordinated everything with PG&E and City inspection. All done in 5 hours well before the planned 8 hrs. If I have any future electrical work, I will gladly work with Formosa Electric again. read more

We're planning to replace the gas stove/oven with an electric one, which needed rewiring and a power panel upgrade. Glad we got a neighbor's referral to Roger of Formosa Electric. Roger came in person for a quote soon after my first contact and patiently explained to me what needed to be done and the approximate schedule of the work. The quote was reasonable and I already heard about his quality of work. He took care of the application for the work permit with the city and coordinated with PG&E and city to schedule the work and inspection. All we had to do was paying a 10% deposit and waiting for him and his crew to show up punctually at 8:00am in the morning on the scheduled date and the job was completed at around 3:00pm the same day after inspection, together with the approved permit. The job was neat and the stucco patch around the newly installed panel was done nicely. Highly recommend his electric work especially for such work as electric panel upgrade. Great and efficient job at a very reasonable price. No hidden cost. read more

Formosa provides competitive offers and smooth coordication with PGE for main panel upgrade!

I recently purchased a Tesla and I was using my dryer outlet to charge my car. I was experiencing issues with the outlet so I called Roger and the first thing he said was "stop doing that" lol. During our first call he gave me SO much helpful information that I knew he was the right man for the job. He has installed thousands of Tesla wall chargers and NEMA 14-15 outlets for mobile connectors. He knew exactly the problem I was having because he's had clients who melted their normal outlets attempting to charge their Teslas. Normal houses are NOT equipped to charge EVs and electricity is NOT something anyone can DIY. Roger was able to stop by my house within a week and quoted me a very reasonable price to get the NEMA 14-15 outlet installed in my garage. It only took him 30min! I appreciate that he was easy to work with, efficient, informative, and didn't try to sell me on anything else. I will definitely reach out to Roger again if I need any electrical work done! read more

Replaced my subpanel fairly quickly and arrived on time. Gave honest feedback on what needs changing and we're on time for the appointment.

WOW!!! Roger is just incredible. He installed an EV charger for me and replaced my old Zinsco panel (both with permit) and it went super smoothly. I don't understand a lot of what electricians do and had soooo many questions. Roger was always very patient and respectful. He was happy to apply for a EV charger permit when a few other electricians weren't eager to and just offered me a discount on the job instead. Roger, on the other hand, said I will do it if you want it. I was considering upgrading my service to 200A from 100A. Others quoted me close to $20k. But Roger told me I didn't even need to do that and should save my money. He is a very very honest man! I'm glad I've found my go-to-electrician for however long he is willing to help me. I had many ideas about what I should do (based on suggestions from other "professionals"). But Roger showed me the way and saved me thousands of $$$. He believes in doing right by people and earning money through his work. It was very refreshing to meet such a human being in real life. read more

My house needed rewiring and an upgraded electrical panel. We were fortunate to find licensed and insured Formosa Electric to perform the work. They handled the entire process, from applying for the municipal permit to final inspection, very smoothly. I was deeply impressed by Mr. Roger Lin's professionalism. One thing worth mentioning: the city scheduled the final inspection between 9:00 AM and noon, but he arrived at my house at 9:00 AM, waited in his car for the inspector, and didn't complete the inspection until 11:00 AM. Thank you very much. read more

Once Roger replied to my text message, he was able to answer all of my questions and more, he gave me suggestions and a reasonable quote and set up the install the next day. Score!!! Roger was prompt and quick. I appreciated him taking in everything that my hubs and I was asking for. All in all, Roger was very friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend Formosa to friends and family and keep them in mind for future projects. read more

Roger is super professional. I am buying a Tesla Model Y, and the expected delivery date is the end of June. I wanted to have the Tesla Wall Connector installed before the car is delivered. I requested my quotes for installation of Tesla Wall Connector form Yelp. Roger responded quickly and shared a picture of one of his newly installed connectors. I also sent the pictures of my electric box and details of the garage and the location I intended to install the connector to him. Roger's quote was very reasonable, and he highly recommended the Tesla Wall Connector for Tesla cars. Finally I ordered the Tesla Wall Connector and got it last Friday, then texted Roger to schedule the installation next Monday. He texted me in the morning to inform when he would come to my house, and also texted me before he come. Roger is a awesome communicator, He knows everything about the Tesla Wall connector. His work was clean and organized. If you are thinking of buying a Tesla and wanted to charge your Tesla at home, the Tesla Wall connector is your best choice. And Roger would be your best and easy decision to make for the installation. read more
