Victor is very professional, reliable and provided an excellent service at my business location in Oakland. I highly recommend him.

Lion Electric is awesome! Victor replaced a bunch of old knob and tube wiring in my previous house. His pricing was fair and he was very thorough, explaining the issues he encountered and options for resolution. When I moved, he and his team replaced a number of ungrounded outlets with grounded outlets, and added the grounding wiring in the new house, as well as replacing several outlets in the kitchen with GFCI per the current code. They were meticulous and caring in their work. I fully recommend Lion Electric. read more

Victor figured out a way to replace the CFL bulbs in my 8 15 year old ceiling fixtures with LED bulbs by removing the ballast and wiring a new fixture within the existing housing. This saved me from having to potentially tear up the ceiling. It was excellent creativity and saved me money! read more

We worked with Lion Electric when we moved our office from downstairs to upstairs in our home. The plug in our "new office" wouldn't work for my large Biz Hub Printer - so we called Victor at Lion Electric. He came in, provided a free assessment, explained the issue, how he proposed to solve it, and offered a fair and transparent estimate. He then returned when agreed and had the job completed faster than I anticipated! He had to run new wire from our exterior electrical panel to the office and installed new dedicated plugs for the printer and computer equipment. The work was completed professionally, he protected the flooring while he worked, he cleaned up after, he even labeled the new breakers in the box! I plan to use Lion Electric for our next project and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. read more

Lion Electric - Electricians Near Me

Victor RAMIREZ is one super-competent (unflappable! quick! accurate!) electrician, at both the commercial and domestic household level. We're so glad to have a reliable electrician -- our previous one in El Cerrito went out of business (death). Victor ran a new 220v line from downstairs main panel to our new minisplit three-zone Mitsubishi HVAC system, including a beautiful and careful job running new weatherproofed conduit. His work instantly passed muster with the El Cerrito city inspector, and with the HVAC installer (also very good). Victor comes on time, he works hard without any complaint about hauling ladders around, and he's a local guy, which I like very very much. He gets it done -- and this required moving around internal lines inside the main electrical panel, installing a shutoff at the condenser, replacing an outside outlet with a GFCI plug (required now). And the price was eminently reasonable. While we were waiting for the City guy to show up to sign off on the job, I remarked that we had an electrically-operated skylight that had stopped opening; I'd ordered a replacement transformer a year ago, but wasn't enthusiastic about doing precision electrical work on a ladder fifteen feet above the ground. Having Victor do it worked out well, and the added cost totally reasonable. Victor replaced the transformer, got the remote working, noticed a small leak that I'll need to seal off, and cleaned the inside of the skylight (!!!), and then the inspector showed up and signed off on the 220v line. Lion Electric is just great: Our experience in the El Cerrito Hills was solidly good from beginning to end. read more

I reached out to Victor after a friend recommended him for all things electrical. What I love best: He arrives when he says he will. He knows his codes. He teaches you what the problem is. He then teaches you how he is going to fix it. He then fixes it and shows you what he did. He is very professional and kind. I trust him and his advisement. He is an honest man. He is now my forever electrician and I will never hire anyone else. I also will hire him in tandem with my contractor to ensure all the electrical upgrades or changes are up to code! You can't go wrong! read more

I highly recommend Lion Electric and Victor Ramirez. Victor had many years of experience working for other companies before he started Lion Electric. We were introduced to Lion Electric through a list serve group that my brother is on. During the process of upgrading the heating system for our 1940's era home, we found out that our electric system consisted of knob and tube wiring, which was connected in an unsafe manner to a modern panel. Due to this, we needed to have the entire house rewired with updated wiring and a new sub-panel. From the onset, Victor was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He explained clearly the problems with the old system, and well as what would be needed to bring everything up to code. While his estimate was not the lowest, his grasp and explanation of what was needed was much more thorough than that of other companies who gave us estimates. Victor is clearly a craftsman with exceptionally high standards. When the inevitable "surprises" were found, he pointed them out to us right away. He came when he said he would, and even did some work on a Saturday, in order to complete the job. We were aware the we would be left with holes in the walls as part of the electrical update. Victor took great care to minimize the number and size of the holes in the walls. This is only one example of the care that he takes. In addition to being extremely professional, Victor is a genuinely warmhearted human being. We easily passed all of our inspections. It was quite clear that the inspector was impressed with the quality of Lion Electric's/Victor's work. I highly recommend Lion Electric/Victor Ramirez for any electrical work that you may have. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]He was responsive, patient and kind.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend! read more

They were alright. Showed up on time, did the job I needed, and the price was fair. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nothing special, but no complaints either.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would consider using them again if I needed to. read more

My old hot water boiler went out and I wanted to shift from a model that uses natural gas to one that is electric. I wanted to do that because it is the right thing to do to get off carbon energy, and because it is now cheaper. I have solar panels on my roof and essentially all my electricity is free! However, I needed to get an electrician quickly in order to do the rewiring in my house in order to swap in an electric boiler and get hot water back working in my house. I found Victor Ramirez and he quickly responded to my query and reorganized his schedule to help me out on deadline. He was also great to work with. Victor analyzed what I really needed and gave me great advice on what was necessary. He was very skillful and efficient. And the cost of his bid was substantially under another bid I sought out. I highly recommend using this company and I will for sure use him the next time I need anything to do with electricity. Check him out. read more

My insurance company mandated that I change out my electrical panel, because the brand had a history of causing fires. I contacted five electrical companies to get bids. Lion Electric's estimate was right in the middle of the bid range. The lowest bidder never came to my house, and didn't even ask for pictures. The highest bidder came to my house two hours late, and clearly was not professional in his evaluation of my electrical panel. However, rather than talking about how bad these electricians were, let me tell you have fantastic Lion Electric was. Victor, the owner of Lion Electric, has been in the business for seventeen years. He came to my house and immediately recognized that the panel I had, Federal Pacific, was a hazardous panel and needed to be replaced. He also mentioned several other poorly designed panels that will keep insurance companies from insuring your house. He informed me that I needed to bond my high voltage water heater to my hot and cold water pipes and gas pipe. None of the other electricians mentioned this extreimly hazardous situation. It was very clear to me, that Victor was the man for the job. He left my house and sent me a written estimate, that included grounding the hot water heater. This extra work takes time and placed his estimate at the lowest end of the bidding range because of the extra work that absolutely needed to be done. Victor said he would be at my house at 7am to start the job. I looked out my window at 6:55 am, and saw Victor and his brother, waiting until 7am before they knocked on my door. They came with two fully loaded service trucks, with all the equipment and tools to compete the job. How did the job turn out? They did and absolutely professional job. Truly professionals. Normally I never post reviews but Victor and his brother absolutely deserve recognition for providing value and professionalism. If I can post pictures, I will so you can see the before and after workmanship. If a picture is worth a thousand words, you can see first hand their skill. You will not go wrong with Victor from Iion Electric! Look how clean the new electrical panel on the left looks. How does your electrical panel look inside? Did sloppy electricians make it look like the one on the right? Mine was sloppy and as a result hazardous, and I never knew it because it was covered up. Victor does clean, professional work. The pictures speak for themselves. read more

I've worked with Victor twice, once at my home and the other at my parents house. He was quick and efficient, thorough, and a great problem solver. At my house he was fixing the not-great quality work of someone else. At my parents house, he replaced the electrical panel. The panel replacement, like many larger home improvement jobs, revealed the need to fix a few other things but everything was handled as it came along. The bid was transparent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We ended up having to do the work at my parents house at a very difficult time for the family. Victor was thoughtful, patient, and even recruited a colleague in a different trade to take care of some additional work that the inspector wanted when we were overwhelmed by our situation and unable to do so ourselves[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. read more
