Avi recently upgraded our home's electrical panel from 100 amps to 200 amps in San Bruno, and I couldn't recommend him more. He made what I expected to be a stressful process incredibly easy. From explaining every step of the project to coordinating permits with the city, scheduling inspections, and working directly with PG&E, he handled everything from start to finish. What really sets Avi apart is that he truly manages the entire project. Unlike other electricians I spoke with who expected me to hire separate contractors for things like stucco repair, Avi took care of it all. His communication was excellent, the work was high quality, and he made sure everything was done right. If you need any electrical work done, Avi is the person to call. read more

Great work and craftsmanship. Avi is highly skilled and great attitude towards life and work. Look no further and book him for your electric needs. read more

Avi was great to work with. We got estimates from 5 different electricians and he was the only one who was honest and not pushy. We had our main electrical panel replaced and some work done on a sub panel as well. Avi was very respectful of our space the entire time he worked on our project and always left things clean when done for the day. I also really appreciated that he patched up the walls and painted as well, as many electricians will not do that. The five star rating is very accurate and I'd recommend working with Riskin Electric! read more

Avi was awesome to work with! We had multiple quotes out to rewire our entire house and he had the most straightforward, fair and comprehensive proposal for us. During our first visit, he was very thoughtful on what would be good upgrades vs unnecessary changes that would increase costs. He was very honest and the final result was exactly what we discussed with good attention to detail in his work. He handled all the inspections and communication and was such an easy process for something as complicated as rewiring an entire house. I would work with Avi again for all future electrical work as he is such a professional and nice person to work with. Thank you Avi! read more

Avi is the best!!! He has done so many electrical repairs on not just our house, but that of our family members as well. His work is excellent, his prices are super reasonable, but he's also SO meticulous and repairs all dry wall when he works, paints, cleans his work area, leaves zero mess behind. Beyond that, he's just a super kind and thoughtful person. We just wish he was also a plumber, contractor, etc . read more

Go with Avi at Riskin Electric. Don't waste your time looking for anyone else. Avi is knowledgeable and very honest. He upgraded my 100amp main service to a 400amp. He communicates and follows through. read more

We were extremely fortunate to have stumbled onto Avi to take on a recessed lighting project for our home when just surfing Yelp. We also had about 15+ outlets (6 of which were GFCI additions), and 10+ switches as part of our project. As many know, it's tough to find the right person for the project (big or small) - we met with over 5 other individuals/companies and Avi came off the most impressive with his attention to detail and his price point. So glad we went with Avi as we now feel we have our go-to electrician - I would not want my family working with anyone else. When needing to make cutouts in our ceiling (for the recessed lights) and our walls (for wiring through additional outlets), Avi took extreme care in covering almost every surface with disposable covering to ensure no dust or drywall fragments got on any of our furniture/valuables. After working in each area, he meticulously cleaned the space so that we could return to using that part of the home while he rotated over to working on other parts of our house. He left no trash or debris behind and took all of it with him without asking (though we totally would've been ok with him dumping everything in our garbage can). As for the work itself...everything was done very well. We have had friends, who are general contractors, come by the house and complement how well done the job was. The recessed lights were measured several times for appropriate spacing, and he consulted us twice to confirm their positioning. We knew we found the right guy when he was patching a wall and told us he was not satisfied with the texture not being a 100% match, but to us, it was a very satisfactory 99% match - he was adamant about coming back to re-do it but we really didn't want him to spend the time on it (and we really could not tell the difference because the match was already THAT close). Avi also spent several hours in our garage bending conduits to add outlets throughout the space and ensured each conduit was shaped in a way so as not to interfere with all the tools/devices we have in the garage. We cannot highly recommend Avi enough for any of your home projects whether they are big or small. One of the kindest individuals I have met who is extremely thoughtful and considerate in everything he does. read more

Riskin Electric - Avi did an amazing job in adding 10 recessed lights to our living space along with adding several outlets and upgrading to WiFi switches - Electricians Near Me

Andrey is one of the best contractors I've worked with! He's punctual, communicative, and considerate. When he's about to proceed to a next step or even just start a loud step, he lets me know and explains what and why he's doing. The job site was kept tidy between the days he's working on our panel, and he patched and painted all the interval and external walls he worked on! And he's quote is very competitive! read more

Had great experience to hire Riskin Electric to replace and upgrade our main panel. He delivered quality service that exceeded expectations. read more

Hands down, Avi's the best! tl;dr - He installed my Tesla wall charger and NEMA 14-50 outlet. Finding a reliable electrician can be a challenge, but I hit the jackpot with Avi. After a lot of researching and getting several quotes, I can confidently say he's the one to call. He's friendly, professional, and his work is top-notch. From the initial consultation, Avi impressed me with his knowledge and helpfulness. I needed a Tesla wall charger and a NEMA 14-50 outlet installed, and he provided excellent advice and a very fair price. He was clear and upfront about the work involved, which I really appreciated. My electrical setup presented a bit of a challenge, with the breaker box located in the back of the house and the new outlets needed in the front. Avi handled this complex wiring job with ease and professionalism. He even took the extra step to paint the wires to match my house. Avi's a hard worker, dedicated to doing the job right, and goes above and beyond for his customers. He's also one of the nicest people I've had the pleasure of working with; such a delight. I'm super satisfied with his work and will definitely be calling him for all my future electrical needs. Highly recommended. read more

Excellent quality of work. He was very knowledgeable and fast, while being practical so you're getting great value. We will definitely message him again for future projects. read more

Avi with Riskin Electric is the best! He was an excellent communicator in planning our project and was very easy to work with. He was flexible with scheduling and responded quickly. The work was fantastic, and his price was much more reasonable than our other bids. The work involved installing new electrical conduit along our exterior, through the crawl space, and into the kitchen pony wall to serve a new appliance plug for our new electric oven range. He even painted the exterior conduit and patched the interior wall. We will definitely hire Riskin Electric again. read more

Highly recommend Riskin Electric! He was an excellent communicator and very easy to work with. He was flexible with scheduling and responded quickly. Our breaker panel was near the end of its life, but he didn't pressure me to replace it and was willing to do the necessary repairs. On top of that, he was able to come and fix the issue on the same day, a huge plus that speaks to both his business ethics and quality of service! Thank you Avraham! read more

I couldn't be more pleased with the work of Riskin Electric. First, Avi wired and installed an EV charging station at my home. He just completed upgrading the electric panel from 100 to 200 amp service. Communication and quality of work graded out at A+. Both projects were completed on time and at the original estimated price. read more

Riskin Electric - 200 amp panel - Electricians Near Me

Found Avi on Yelp.. I'll be honest, I was shopping on yelp trying to get a ballpark of the pricing to install an EV charger and getting permits (home insurance purposes). I contacted 4-5 companies on Yelp and also those on the Tesla recommended list. Those listed on Tesla's website basically made you fill out pages of questionnaires as if you were applying for college. Anyway, Avi was the quickest to respond and the price was very very competitive and fair. He was also willing to go out of his way to get permitting. The process required him to visit the house first to measure the garage and snap a few pics to get the permits pulled. Then once the permits were good to go, he scheduled an appointment to do the install. Install was originally quoted at 1.5-2 hrs. Took him much longer than expected because of some unforeseen circumstances. There was suppose to be conduit exposed, but Avi found another route by opening up the drywall because it was easier to work with. He inspected the panel and found shoddy work done by previous contractors. Also had to rework the panel to fit new tandem breakers. I appreciate his extra care to rewire / splice existing wires to get things to work. Everything was patched up and cleaned after the installation. I just need to touchup the paint to blend everything in. Now I just need to wait for city to send out an inspector. p.s. he does have a few more 5 star yelp reviews which ended up being filtered. Seems like legit reviews that were flagged. read more

I was having a problem with my main panel. I called and he was able to come over within 30 min. Turns out I just needed to reset the main breaker. I was not used to the force required to get that breaker moved. I felt embarrassed that I needed to take his time. He was incredibly gracious and wouldn't accept any compensation for the visit. It is so great to interact with good people in this world. What a guy! I will be using Riskin Electric for any work moving forward. read more

Avi is a tremendous electrician. We were in the middle of a kitchen remodel and needed to replace our main electrical panel quickly. Avi jumped in to help us out, offered very competitive pricing, and finished our job on time. Avi handled absolutely everything including communicating with PG&E, upgrading and moving our panel box, and he even matched our exterior paint color and re-painted the place where our old panel was located. Avi is extremely professional and took the time to explain everything that was needed and why. I will definitely be reaching out to Avi again when we have any electrical needs. read more

We had a good experience with Riskin Electric. The quote was fair and Avi was very responsive with our questions. He was very professional and helped us with the permit process.

Awesome experience all around! We hired Avi to completely rewire our mid-century home. Needless to say, he did a fantastic job. Avi is a true craftsman and was so easy to work/communicate with. He kept us updated on what he was doing and completed the project under budget and on time! He primarily works alone but had a helper on days when a two-man task was called for. He even had a guy that patched and painted interior and exterior walls where needed. We couldn't have asked for a more honest, knowledgeable, & upstanding guy. We highly recommend Avi Riskin for your electrical projects. read more

Avi helped us upgrade the panel for our new house to 200 (and get everything else up to code). He was punctual, good communicator and had a better offer than the other four electrical companies that we had come assess our Pacifica house. He was able to complete the work in two days and made sure we got permit from the city and final work completed by PG&E. I would recommend Avi to all my friends and family without reservation. He even switched the direction of our gate to get up to code! read more

Avi is an excellent electrician delivers high-quality work. But he goes above and beyond for his clients. I was particularly impressed by his willingness to help me with tasks outside of his typical electrical work. He generously helped me move heavy items, offered valuable advice on my bathroom renovation, and even helped me with some minor repairs without charging a dime. Avi's kindness and genuine desire to help make him a rare find in the Bay Area. I highly recommend him without hesitation. read more

Excellence! It looks like Avi, the owner is deeply philosophical about the job. There is something truly ancient about this spirit of overqualifying everything that goes into installing these panels or the simple outlet, up to such a seemingly meaningless detail as a position of a screw on the outlet cover. He actually puzzled me with his overqualifications and I still wonder why such craftsmanship is so reasonably priced, but maybe this also is part of his inner deal, who knows. I wish the guy be a bit less serious, though, at least after work. Overall, this is very solid five star. Something tells me the whole house will stand on the merit and quality of his work. It's a rare deal. read more

We worked with Avi for several months during a large remodel, and we couldn't be happier with his work. He handled a wide range of tasks, including updating the electrical system, fixing a mess left by another contractor, installing fixtures and switches throughout the house, and tackling the biggest project: upgrading our electrical panel. His meticulous work earned us our green tag, as everything he did was in full compliance with the building electrical code. Avi and is incredibly responsible, respectful, communicative, and a pleasure to work with. He's friendly, reliable, and truly goes above and beyond to ensure the job is done right. We have no hesitation in recommending him and will definitely work with him again in the future! read more

Riskin Electric - Electrical Panel Upgrade - Electricians Near Me

Avie did a great job installing recessed lights! He took his time and worked with us to make sure the light placement made sense in the room. He patched up the original light fixtures and touched up the paint. The room looks brighter and more modern. read more

I got my old fluorescent light fixtures removed and replaced with energy saving recessed lights. I groom from home and the lighting in my workspace (aka my garage) was horrible. The house was built in the 50's and had outdated fluorescent fixtures in the garage that needed to be replaced. I was worried it would cost me an arm and a leg but luckily I was able to fine Riskin Electric and it was so affordable. He was quick to respond to my estimate request and was professional, clean, and courteous the whole time! read more

This is a long overdue review but in summary: I highly recommend Avi for all electrical needs. His professionalism and commitment to detail and quality really stood out, which was reassuring as a new homeowner.

Am simply appreciative for his help during the permitting process too--couldn't be more happy working with him and will certainly work with him in the future! read more

High quality work. In addition to the main service (sub panel and high power lines for a cooktop and EV charger) I got a couple of bonus improvements. Highly recommend! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Avi did quite a bit of work on our home to make it solar-ready. Rates are reasonable. 1) main panel swap 2) moved an old subpanel to a new location in the home 3) installed a second subpanel. 4) installed recessed lighting. 5) installed NEMA 14-50 for EV charging. We were very satisfied with his work, his communication, and his approach to everything. We were in a bit of crunch due to NEM2.0 sunsetting earlier this year, right as we were about to purchase a new home. He guided us through a lot of key decisions. ultimately found the only (or at least one of very few) 100amp solar-ready panels on the market. Coincidentally, we decided to install a heatpump HVAC a few months later and the HVAC installer we hired uses Avi for his electrical work. read more
