I can't recommend Brian Archbold highly enough. I called with a tricky electrical issue, and…read moreinstead of just scheduling a service call, he actually took the time to walk me through the problem over the phone. Thanks to his clear guidance, I was able to fix it myself -- and he didn't even charge me for his time! What really impressed me is his ability to diagnose unusual electrical problems and come up with practical solutions quickly. On top of that, when I needed help finding a reliable solar technician, he provided me with an excellent referral after I had been searching without luck. It's rare to find someone so knowledgeable, generous with their expertise, and genuinely focused on helping customers. If you need an electrician who goes above and beyond, this is the person to call.

Brian was super responsive after requesting a quote. He called back immediately and we ended up…read moredetermining that our project was out of scope for his company. However, that didn't stop him from engaging with me on our plans, asking questions, making some cost-saving suggestions, providing solid advice, and even sharing a few referrals. I immediately saved his contact in my phone in the hopes we'll be able to work with him in the future!

TL;DR Adary has a lifelong customer in me. They check all the boxes you look for in a tradesperson…read more- they're responsive, knowledgeable, prompt, fairly priced, and take care in their work. I can't imagine going anywhere else. Backstory: My first experience with Adary was actually in 2021 - I had just purchased a new washer/dryer and needed an additional outlet installed. They were the only ones at the time who were willing to do a virtual walkthrough on FaceTime for the estimate, and I was so impressed by that interaction that I hired them to do the job. Come 2026, I was now looking to replace all the recessed lights + under cabinet lights + outlets and switches in the apartment. My recent experience was just as positive as the first time around. Shai was so helpful, not only talking me through timing and pricing but also giving me their supplier's contact info so I could source the parts myself and avoid their 15% markup on materials. (You're openly telling me how I can save myself money?! That alone sealed the deal.) The team who came on site was also extremely thoughtful. Turns out the previous electrician who installed the old recessed lights (who will not be named but sadly also has high reviews on Yelp) actually installed them the wrong way - instead of replacing/modifying the existing cans so the lights would clip in, he caulked/glued the whole thing to the drywall to get them to stay in, which meant the Adary guys (Kevin & Marco) had to cut the old ones out of the ceiling and replace the existing housings before they could install the new ones. Even with all this additional work, they still managed to complete the job a full day faster than expected (I was quoted ~3 days and they finished in 2), which was a pleasant surprise as we had agreed to bill by the hour. In summary, every interaction I've had with Adary has been nothing but exemplary. If only they did work outside of electrical - I'd never go to anyone else!

I've used Adary Electric multiple times now at my home in Redwood City and both times Victor has…read morebeen outstanding. First visit, he troubleshot a closet light that had lost its neutral behind a ceiling fan, tracked it down and reconnected it. He also diagnosed a dead 3-way switch in the hallway -- turned out the prior electrician had wired it wrong on a single pole -- and converted it properly to a 3-way. Knocked out a kitchen can light switch while he was at it. All done in about an hour. No other electrician was able to figure it out the closet light kerfuffle, but Victor did! Turns out he has nearly 30 years of experience! Second visit, Victor and Francisco came out to remove a 6" recessed can light and splice onto the switch leg to power a new ceiling fan I'd had installed. Clean work, everything labeled, no loose ends. Done in about 2.5 hours. Rates are fair ($125/hr), they show up when they say they will, and Victor clearly knows residential electrical inside and out -- he doesn't guess, he diagnoses. The kind of electrician you want working inside your walls. Highly recommend for anyone in the Peninsula area!

I had an incredibly weird issue where some of my home outlets work and some do not and some were…read moreflickering in and out. The breaking point was when the internet became unreliable because the power was unreliable and the stove stopped working. I contacted Alex and he said he could send someone over that same day. He was transparent about the pricing before the job began. When his team member (Ming) came over he was thorough and transparent about what he found and Alex came over to assess himself. Turns out one of the main line coming into the house on the verge of burning out and thus the other 110v line was trying to compensate which caused it to also overload. This explained why the 240 outlets were not functioning. Our electrical was just old and the age caught up. He gave a reasonable estimate and fixed it by the end of the day. In passing, I also mentioned that although our stove worked, it seemed that it's power fades as I use it more and he was able to determine that line was under gauged for the load and was a fire hazard. Looking up the prior setup before my recent renovation, I see that they had incorrectly reduced the stove line from 40amps to 30amps. Alex and team was able to solved that problem as well, giving me updates along the way and providing very easy to understand explanations. This was an annoying problem plaguing us for years! Again, the pricing is very reasonable and the quality of work is exceptional. I highly recommend Alex Tong and his team.

We hired Eminent Electrical for a major and expensive project to replace our old knob-and-tube…read moresystem with a brand-new, grounded electrical system. Our top priority was the safety of our home and family as we had a less than a 1 year old at home. What we discovered post-completion was frankly terrifying, and the company's subsequent non-response is completely unacceptable. Alex completely brushed off our concerns Early in the project, we raised concerns when we discovered a cosmetic "shortcut" (a drywall patch done with toilet paper instead of proper material. they literally stuffed toilet paper in the wall then laid joint compound on top). We were personally assured by Alex that even though there were minor appearance issues, they would take absolutely no shortcuts on the actual electrical work. A few months later, while I was installing a simple light fixture, my father and I discovered an unmarked hot wire. In this switch box, a white conductor was being used as the LINE-Hot wire (constantly energized). This unmarked wire could have easily been mistaken for a neutral by anyone working in the box, which could have led to someone getting killed. When I informed Alex, he said I shouldn't be doing wiring, and admitted it should have been taped. He offered to come over and tape the wire (I already did it myself). No apology at all. It feels like they took short cuts throughout the job- if they failed to properly mark a live wire in the first box we opened, we simply cannot trust the integrity of the rest of the expensive rewiring job. When it comes to the safety of your home and family, avoid this company.

Mike was so great to work with. He changed plans during the day as I requested a specific location for the subpanel in the garage. He was open to listening my suggestions. We ended up placing the panel at a wall which also enables me to easily extend the subpanel usage in the future. He nicely patched up the wall. He even cleaned up appliance installer's sloppy work at the junction box by making sure everything is up to code. We passed the inspection at a single visit. Overall, I recommend Courtesy Electric to anyone who has an electrical project. A rare gem!

We had…read moreseveral small items that needed to be completed (replace some exterior lights, install a nest doorbell, change a breaker to a larger size for a hot tub) and an investigation into a bunch of flickering lights and an outlet that didn't work. Brian was able to complete all the work, fix the outlet, and start investigating the lights. The thing I really liked about Brian was that he explained to me everything he did and why. He told me instead of calling him out for another half day to investigate the lights, I should try a few things first and went through some hypotheses (based on the investigations he already did). With the information he gave me I was able to debug and fix the issue myself saving me money. I'd highly recommend BMH for anyone looking for electrical work.

Five Stars! Exceptional work from a highly professional team…read more I cannot recommend Formosa Electric highly enough! They stepped in to fix a highly problematic panel installation originally done by Tesla, and they handled the entire situation flawlessly. From start to finish, the team was incredibly knowledgeable, punctual, and professional. They took care of the entire city permit inspection process and coordinated seamlessly and efficiently with PG&E, completely taking the stress off my shoulders. Their workmanship is high-quality, precise, and clean. If you want an electrician that gets the job done right the first time, look no further than Formosa Electric!

I had a devastating experience with Formosa Electric and lost thousands of dollars due to their…read morefailure to disclose a critical project scope change before taking my money. We hired Formosa for an underground service upgrade from 100A to 200A. Before I made my payment, PG&E had already explicitly notified Formosa via email and provided an official design sketch detailing that a new utility pole would need to be installed in my backyard. Unbelievably, Formosa NEVER communicated this major change or showed me the PG&E design plan. I only found out when PG&E's construction trucks literally pulled up to my house ready to plant a utility pole in my backyard! I had no choice but to immediately cancel the entire project, resulting in thousands of dollars in non-refundable losses. Had Formosa simply passed on PG&E's notification when they received it, I would have stopped the project right then and avoided this massive financial loss. When I confronted them, Formosa claimed PG&E never informed them. However, I spoke directly with the PG&E Project Manager, who confirmed on the phone that Formosa was explicitly notified prior to my payment. When I asked Formosa to share their email correspondence with PG&E to prove their claim, they repeatedly refused. Their refusal to provide transparency speaks volumes. Furthermore, I only learned after switching to a new contractor that legitimate PG&E projects should be linked directly to the homeowner's PG&E account. Formosa never added this project to my PG&E account, intentionally or negligently keeping me completely in the dark regarding the project's true details and progress. Formosa has refused to offer any fair refund or accountability for their negligence. They hid a deal-breaking scope change, took my money, wasted thousands of my hard-earned dollars, and refused to stand by their work. Protect your home, your backyard, and your wallet--DO NOT hire Formosa Electric.
