Very competitive pricing, but what really sets them apart is their communication, attention to detail, and work ethic. I live in an Eichler home, and it can be difficult to find contractors who understand how to properly work on these unique homes. Their team handled everything professionally, protected my hardwood floors and furniture, kept me updated, and provided photos of the completed work. Thanks again guys read more

I needed to replace the main electrical panel on my house and upgrade it from 100amp to 200amp as well as get a 100amp line installed for a level 2 EV charger and get the house pre wired and ready to convert the gas water heater and furnace to electric. After getting several bids, I chose Safety First and I'm glad I did. This was the first time I've ever worked with a licensed contractor where the entire project went so smoothly!!! It was planned and executed perfectly, and all the scheduling with PG&E and the City of San Jose inspectors was seamlessly coordinated. Inspections all passed with flying colors. When the panel was turned on for the first time, everything powered up with no issues. The crew that was onsite doing the work was great! They clearly knew what they were doing and they cleaned up after themselves everyday they were on the job. My project took 3 days from start to finish and it was not stressful at all!!! I highly recommend Safety First for all your electrical needs!!! I will be honest and say they were not the cheapest but it was money well spent for the work that was done and what I believe was the best value for quality workmanship! read more

PG&E didn't cross connect (energize) our new 400amp main panel due to the wires inside panel wasn't connected to the lugs (panel not being ready). We called 'Safety First Electric' because other electricians didn't have the right equipment. Ronnie was professional, highly knowledgeable on 400amp panels, super cool guy, clean and quick. He could done this with his eyes closed. I highly highly highly recommend Ronnie and his company. Don't look any further these electricians are amazing (10 stars)! read more

Safety First Electric - 400amp Panel (Residential) - Electricians Near Me

I would like to point out first, the receptionist's communication was a negative 1. The misinformation and last‑minute changes showed there's clearly no coordination between the front desk and the technicians. Thankfully, Chris was the complete opposite. He arrived prepared, explained everything clearly, and came up with a solid game plan. He handled the job professionally and efficiently. I booked my appointment on 3/2 in the morning and called the front desk for more information. The receptionist booked my same‑day appointment and I received an email confirmation. Later, I suddenly got a text saying the appointment needed to be rescheduled -- but then, about 15 minutes later, Chris (the technician) showed up with the job order anyway. Thankfully, Chris was the complete opposite. He arrived prepared, explained everything clearly, and came up with a solid game plan. He handled the job professionally and efficiently. I'd give Chris 5 stars, but the front desk communication brings the overall experience down. read more

First off, I would like to personally thank field service technician Mihret Kranjic for his outstanding attention to detail & professionalism. I had previously contacted Safety First Electric Inc. & was given estimates for two separate projects. The first being a panel upgrade from an old Zinsco panel to a new 200 amp panel, the second being the installation of three dedicated circuits to a separate bedroom. All of the work was completed in a timely manner & I wouldn't hesitate contacting Safety First Electric again for any future electrical services to my home. Signed Gary Gonzales. read more

Do not use. Price gouging is their business model. "needed" to replace the panels, however doesn't look any different and the breaker is still tripping. wont come back out. $9k doesn't by any customer service. read more

We had such a great experience with Chris. From the moment he arrived, he was kind, considerate, and very professional. He worked efficiently but never rushed, and you could see the care he put into every detail. He made sure we understood everything and went out of his way to make us feel comfortable. It's not just about the quality of the work (which was excellent), but also how he treated us and our home. We truly appreciated that. read more

I have had phenomenal experiences with Safety First Electric. Work has been outstanding, and all of Ronnie's guys that we have worked with are A+. Miguel has been especially terrific - very professional, efficient, and thorough. Would recommend to anyone! read more

Safety First Electric and Chris Roberts came to the rescue for my property management company when we had an electrical issue. They were able to quickly diagnose the issue and resolve our problem, mitigating a tenant issue. Thanks Safety First Electric! read more

Very thorough, very helpful We had Safety-First install two 220V circuits in our garage (one for an EV charger and one for a heat pump water heater - they coordinated the installation of the water heater with their sister company Bailey Plumbing). We also had them install lights and a switch in a closet, add a 110V outlet in our hallway, install a hardwired camera/light on the side of our house, and run Cat 5 cable into our attic so we could put our whole house fan on the network. The job took several days; they were here at the promised time every day and kept us informed about anything that would disrupt us (for example, having to turn off some breakers to make room for the 220V circuits in our panel). They were happy to answer my questions. They kept things neat and cleaned up properly before leaving every day. I'm very happy with the work they did and would happily call on them again. read more

It has been a whirlwind! My 1st experience right off the bat was being told I could not ask the technician any questions until I paid $99. An owner got on the phone with me to smooth this over & apologized saying I absolutely could speak to the technician before paying money. Spoke to Chris who said he would come in, trace all the lines & even replace a few bad circuits to make up for things. I left a nice review & was really cool with them. Chris & Robert came, traced lines but didn't replace circuits. They recommended a much more comprehensive project on all 3 panels that would cost $1500 more. We agreed. Chris mentioned his wife could go into labor any day & that would be the only reason they would cancel. 11/27 morning of our appt, he called to say he was on his way to the Hospital & we rescheduled. 12/4 they came back & I asked about his new baby- he answered all the new baby stuff. No bad circuits were replaced. The panel sheets that tells you what circuit controls what had things like "B" "Well" "From" which doesn't tell me what they control & the 3rd panel sheet was virtually blank. The kitchen ceiling tile was left open. I called to get clarifications on the sheets highlighting all of the incomplete or confusing items, to schedule the closing of the ceiling tile & replacement of the bad circuits promised since the 1st appointment. I was told Chris had just left on Paternity leave as his wife was due any day now. I did call Martin a liar because I believed Chris who said the baby was already born a week earlier & since Martin was the one who said I couldn't talk to anyone without paying 1st so I already didn't trust him. I spoke with someone else who confirmed that Chris' wife didn't have a baby yet. I called Martin back to apologize for calling the wrong person a liar. Today Ronnie (Owner) & Robert came. They closed the ceiling tile. Ronnie told me that we had to accept the panel sheet as is, they wouldn't be replacing any circuits as the whole panel needed updating. I started to get upset because of the "splaining" that was happening. He told me it was just my misunderstanding & that Martin didn't tell me I had to pay before talking to someone but that I was rude for calling him a liar. I reminded him that I apologized. He said he would be washing his hands of this project. I asked him to let me know when they closed the circuit panels so I could come to lock up the restaurant. They left without notice leaving it wide open. I don't understand how suddenly I'm the bad guy for spotting the inconsistencies & calling them out, for wanting the circuit sheets to be complete after paying $600 & for the bad circuits to be replaced as they had been promising to do from the beginning. I could even understand if they couldn't replace the circuits for safety reasons but there was no reason not to complete the panel sheets. The service date on these sheets weren't even right. But I'm the jerk & they don't want to do business with me. They should add "Gaslighting" to services offered. UPDATE: 1 Hour after posting this review (with receipts) they left a bad review for my Hotel claiming we have rats in retaliation from a fake name "Mike Gaines" forgetting that they emailed me from that very address during the bad work experience. Attaching receipts. read more

Safety First Electric did a fantastic job of replacing my sub panel that stopped working and making sure that the breakers were labeled correctly. Jonathan and George came out the same day and stayed until my power was restored. Jonathan and Brian came out the next day to label the breakers. So very pleased with the work and concern for the customer. read more

It is my pleasure to write a review for Safety First Electric. They just completed a rewire of my house and garage. I primarily did this for safety reasons since other than the kitchen, was aluminum wiring which had seen better days. I am confident in their work which was done by Joseph and Jorge. Joseph really knows his stuff. He is very professional and communicative. Once the job was started, Jorge joined Joseph's team. He was very knowledgeable and communicative as well. Thank you so much and keep up the good work. read more

My experience is similar to that of Hotel M. First and foremost, Chris is a habitual liar and should be avoided at all costs. My kitchen contractor sent Safety First to my home when they were short-handed and could not respond to an urgent request that my electricity kept tripping and I was unable to work. Chris arrived and immediately pointed out various problems with the electrical work performed by my contractor, and I must assume that what he said was correct. He told me that he would deal with my contractor directly and have them pay for the work that needed to be fixed. As these things happen, more work was purportedly needed than initially expected, resulting in a complete rewiring of my home and the installation of a new panel. Chris advised that they would need to pull permits with the city building department and then "open a ticket" with PG&E so that PG&E would come out and, I believe, shut off power from their lines. I WAS THEN WITHOUT ELECTRICITY FOR AN ENTIRE WEEK!!! Chris kept telling me that the city building department had not yet issued the required permit and Safety First was "at the mercy" of the building department. After several days of this and as my damages from loss of power accrued, I contacted the building department only to learn that Safety First had not even contacted the building department to seek a permit and that these types of permits are granted within an hour of request. Chris then began blaming PG&E for the delay. Chris also made me sign a contract and pay over $20k before they would start work. I expected to pay for the work that was not the fault of my contractor, but this was never parsed out and I was in a desperate situation and signed the contract and paid the requested amount. Chris assured me that Safety First would perform some other, small jobs at the house like installing a new doorbell and fixing a light in my bedroom that was supposed to be controlled by a dedicated switch. I suspected he did not include these items in his contract, which I signed without verifying due to the desperate situation and knowing that I might not get the additional work. When the main (contracted for) work was finally completed, I asked the young worker who was there about the additional items. He then left the room and called Chris and because Chris is so loud, I could actually hear him from the other room and on the other side of the phone telling the worker to just leave without saying anything to me, which the worker did. I was not planning to follow up on the additional work as it was not in the contract. But I did contact Safety First when I discovered that the outlets in one corner of my home did not work, as this was part of the work they performed. When I contacted Safety First about the nonfunctioning outlets I also mentioned the few additional items that Chris had represented they would do and, while I hoped they would honor his representations, I was really only planning to insist that they fix the electricity in the corner of my home as this was a part of their contracted work. SF employee Robert was sent to my house yesterday, and I have no complaints about this employee. However, Chris sent me a contract for $3,000 (!) to fix the outlets in the corner of my home, even though this was part of their original contract. And, again, because he is such a loud mouth I heard him through Robert's phone (when Robert was upstairs and I was downstairs, no less) telling him to leave the house and admonishing him strongly not to fix the electricity in the corner of my home. In addition to being a liar, Chris was also very unprofessional both in his dealings with my contractor (raising his voice and acting in a threatening manner with them), and in general being a braggart (according to him, his wife has a job with PGE and makes $800k per year, and he owns several homes). He is just very, very creepy. read more

My first and only experience with this company was unpleasant. I used their website to initiate a request. I got an email... Feb 15. It contained a link for "Request A Quote" https://www.mysafetyfirstelectric.com/get-a-quote which I filled out with lots of detail on Sat, February 24th. On the following Monday I got a call from John Lee at 9:06 AN saying "looks like you put in a web submission so please give us a call when you have a moment." I called that number at 3:07 PM the next day (Tuesday), asked for John Lee, explained I was calling back and provided my name (and repeated it 2 times carefully) The woman who answered offered to take down all my information including what I wanted service on. I explained I had filled out a form on the web with all the details and was calling back John Lee in response to his call to me. Where did you fill out the form? she asked. I asked "Can I speak to John Lee? He apparently knows what I've filled out." She insisted that she needed to collect all the information. At that point, I told her that it seemed like there was a significant inefficiency in their business. I thought the point of filling out the form was to prevent having to provide all the details again. It pains me to write this, but perhaps they have a problem with their website or the person answering the phone is not aware. Some training could probably fix this problem. Perhaps the solution for now is to only speak with a live person and not use their website. I followed up with an email to one of the principles of the company about this and got no response. I chose another company and the difference in contact efficiency was obvious. read more

Let there be light. After a PG&E transformer blew up and messed up my home's fuse box, Ronnie came and immediately got to work. Everything that needed to be replaced was done quickly and safely. Completely satisfied with the work and cost. Please don't be a Fire Marshall Bill and attempt electrical projects on your own; be safe and get a licensed professional. Ronnie told me some improvements that could be done which could protect my home in the future if a similar incident would occur. Will hire again! read more

I wish I could give two different ratings - one for the electrician and one for the company. I give Joseph a 5 star rating. He was pleasant, extremely professional, gave me my options, and was done with the work in about 5 minutes. This rating in no way reflects his work and professionalism. I give the company 3 stars because of their pricing policy. I paid a dispatch fee upfront to schedule the appointment and was told it would be deducted from the fee for the work should I move forward with them. I was fine with paying for the dispatch fee ahead of time, especially because they'd deduct it from the total. However, when Joseph came to look at the issue and give me an estimate, he said that the lowest rate he could charge me was $199. And this minimum rate didn't allow for the dispatch fee to be deducted from the total. I know I could have gotten another electrician to come out, but Joseph was there and said he could take care of the work that day, and I wanted it taken care of. So yes, all my choice. However, I wish the lady I spoke to when scheduling the appointment would have been upfront with me and said that the minimum rate for any job is $199 and the dispatch fee would not be applied to this rate. If that had been disclosed upfront, I probably would not have scheduled an appointment with them. I believe I paid way too much for the 5 minutes of work that was done. I had no idea what the job would entail, so live and learn is the lesson here. If you have a bigger job, then I would recommend checking this company out. I have no problem hiring them for big jobs and would consider them in the future. Joseph was professional and knowledgeable. However, because of the dispatch fee, you should probably schedule them for an estimate after you've already gathered other estimates and only if you're not satisfied with ones you got. I don't know if charging an upfront dispatch fee is standard practice. If it is, then this is a non-issue. I also don't know if the dispatch fee is refundable if you cancel the appointment. read more

We had an electrical outage on a Saturday night at 9pm. I called at least 5 on call electricians and found the responsiveness and ease of Safety First to be top notch. Chris came out Sunday morning and assessed the situation. Miguel came on Monday at 8am and did the work. I greatly appreciate the texts confirming when someone was on their way and who. Everything is highly streamlined from communication through payment, which made our little emergency much less stressful. The house call was VERY affordable, the work was definitely higher than expexted (I am hesitant to say overpriced as I did not have time to get a second opinion). I do feel you get what you pay for and if you want excellence, there is a price that comes with that - we opted to pay it. This home is a vacation rental and time and quality was very important to us. I would highly recommend this team, and I would absolutely call them again. read more

I enlisted the services of Safety First to help me knock off a list of electrical issues around my home. They told me between 8am and 10am and two electricians showed up exactly at 8am to begin the work. Here are the items I had them address: Installed three GFCI outdoor outlets, Installed a Ring Light Pro fixture and relocated the existing Ring Light to the back of the home. They diagnosed and fixed a pendent light in the master bedroom that was not working. Safety First installed a 80K whole house home surge protector and installed a 60AMP EV Charger. The estimate I received was fair for the sound to f work I had done. The work was professional done with attention to quality, the workers who did the job kept me informed on when the power would be off and cleaned the work site after the job was completed. I would recommend Safety First to any homeowner looking to bring outdated electrical work up to code. read more

From start to finish, Safety First Electrical Inc was absolutely outstanding! My request for last minute electrical needs on a Friday afternoon was met with nothing but outstanding customer service and electrical expertise! Everything the company said they would do to help me, they did exactly that. Call backs in a very timeline manner, overview of what they could do to assist me and upfront details of service and prices were all so much appreciated. I was provided with a window of time the service would take place and they provided me both phone calls and ongoing text messages to ensure i was updated about the service and when the electrician was en route. Everyone who works with Safety First Electrical is absolutely excellent at their jobs and i highly recommend them to anyone who needs electrical services! read more

Let me be frank and honest here. Safety first electric customer service is the best. With my project, there were a lot of delays on my side, but they were extremely patient and kind with me. They were kind, friendly, and explained every step of the job they were going to do, which most companies don't do. In addition, the work they did was fast, efficient, and very neat. They did an awesome job on customer service and the electric work. In the future, when I need electric work done, they are already saved on my phone because they are the people I will call. read more

They say in construction it's about time, cost and quality - you get to choose two. Somehow with Safety First you'll be getting all three! Ronnie came to my house to give me a quote for a new EV home charger and the rest was history. He walked me through the process and was able to explain complex electrical concepts so that they made sense and I was able to make informed decisions about how to proceed. After careful decision making, Ronnie and I agreed that a panel upgrade made the most sense for my aging home. He was also able to help install an additional 220 outlet that will now allow me to move my dryer away from natural gas and make the most of my solar. He was also able to install BEAUTIFUL recessed lighting throughout our home, something that had previously be a low point of our home's aesthetics. Finally, Ronnie was able to install a gorgeous chandelier over our kitchen table that utilizes stunning Edison bulbs. I seriously feel like I live in a brand new home thanks to Safety First! read more
