Nic is the real deal. He really knows how to deal with the very old electrical systems that most of the houses on the peninsula have. One quick anecdote to demonstrate the service that Nic provides... I called him on a Friday evening with a question. He came over to the house at 7 PM on a Friday and checked it out. Amazing service! read more

Nic is terrific. Super responsive and competent. He showed up 5 mins early and diagnosed and fixed my electrical issues (two blown outlets) quickly and competently. His charge was obscenely low. He's also a really nice guy, affable and upbeat. Ask him about his insane Ford Mustang 5.0 (he's a huge auto enthusiast)! My go-to electrician. Highest possible recommendation. read more

Nic is very knowledgeable, honest, straightforward and customer service oriented. He arrived on time and was extremely courteous and professional. My home warranty service referred Nic to me and my original work order was for a light fixture. I also had a non-working bathroom fan and asked if he could work on that as well. He contacted the home warranty service for me and got them to add the bathroom fan to the work order and he even fixed several additional light fixtures for me at no additional charge. I would definitely call Nic again if I have future needs and would highly recommend him to anyone searching for a good electrician. read more

Nic and Jesse are awesome! They fixed the electrical in our house, after another electrician improperly wired the main box and all the outlets. Nic and Jesse updated our electrical to code standards, within the time estimates provided. They're professional and patiently explained details. Highly recommend Simpson Electric! read more

General contractors and others will do electrical work, but there is no substitute to using an electrician like Simpson Electric. Nic and company did a great job at my home for repairs, safety upgrades, and new chandelier install. I can tell that the job was done right. read more

I called Simpson Electric for some fairly extensive office renovations. Nic was able to come out and give an estimate within a few days. The quote was very reasonable for the work. We had them install overhead lighting, outlets, and light switches as well as fix some outlets that had stopped working. They made sure to take care of the important things first so that we could pass a building inspection. Nic and Jesse are both very professional. I had talked to several different electricians about our needs and Nic was by far the most helpful. I noticed other electricians didn't have the highest safety standards (which is pretty frightening), but that definitely wasn't a problem with Nic or Jesse. We have very high ceilings so when we needed overhead lights installed, Nic took care of getting a lift delivered. He also recommended someone to fix some holes in our drywall and checked in to make sure it was a good recommendation. The work was done fairly quickly and with respect to our office's schedule. read more

I've used Simpson Electric twice. They showed up right away, were extremely helpful, and pricing seemed very fair.

Nic & Jesse were prompt, courteous, and skilled. I needed to diagnose an outlet with no power; Nic was methodical and meticulous, finding problems in a couple places, and explaining them to me as he worked along. They even offered to show up before the appointed time, completed the job quickly, and were meticulous in their work. They cleaned up nicely after the work was done, and I would heartily recommend Simpson Electric. read more

Nic came on short notice and was able to quickly fix an electrical problem in our bathroom. Friendly, courteous, and professional. Highly recommend! read more

If I could give Nic more stars, I would. Nic is trustworthy, fairly priced and does good work. we have had him do various projects at our house and will continue to do so!1 read more

I have hired Nic Simpson several times now, for both smaller projects and, recently, a larger one. Nic is honestly one of the nicest people I have met. He always shows up with a smile on his face and is very dedicated to making sure that all of my questions are answered. These days, when I have an electrical project, I always hire Simpson Electric. Even if Nic is busy, I just get on his calendar when he has an opening. He's sometimes busy, but that is because he's great and in high demand (in my humble opinion). What I like about Nic the most is he cares about the customer and will come out for (very) small projects as well as the larger ones. One time, I had a concern and needed a professional opinion. He came out to evaluate my issue without even charging me. read more

I had some minor light additions and fixture replacements and the team did outstanding work. They completed all the projects in less time than promised and left all work areas spotless. I highly recommend Nic of you need a highly qualified electrician. read more

Nic was assigned to me through our home warranty company. We were very pleased with his work and thoroughness He arrived on time and actually on Memorial Day. We were having an issue with our heater that had to do with an electrical issue. He spent the time to check all of our panels, went up to our dusty attic, through different rooms to try and figure out the issue. I failed to mention we had a 3rd panel that he discovered 2 hours later and he was very patient. It ends up the panel I failed to mention and he discovered was the cause of the problem. He was able to make a temporary fix while waiting for the home warranty to approve. After the home warranty approved for him to complete the repair he came back the next day and did a fine job. Heater is now working perfectly Thanks to Nic. read more

Nic Simpson (Simpson Electric) was sent to my home by my home warranty company. I can't say enough about Nic. To make it easy, here is why he gets 5 stars: - Friendly/Courteous: Nic contacted me by phone the same day I called my home warranty company to schedule an appointment. He was extremely friendly and courteous on the phone. Made it easy to schedule something that worked for me. He was just as friendly and courteous in person. -Dependable: Arrived ON TIME (maybe even early...). We're all busy, and the last thing you want is to be waiting into the last 30 minutes of your 2 hour window. Nic arrived when he said he would. - Professional: Introduced himself immediately, was dressed appropriately, and well groomed. - Knowledgeable: Very familiar with what the home warranty covers/doesn't cover. Has experience with older homes. Happy to impart his knowledge. There is no doubt that I will be contacting Nic when we decide to upgrade a few things in our house and need an electrician. He is the best! read more

Nic installed two chandeliers in our art studio. He paid special attention to detail, worked efficiently and was personable. Nic also provided a very competitive rate compared to other electricians we interviewed. I will look to Nic for my future electrical job needs. Thank you Nic. read more

Simpson Electric is FANTASTIC! Arrived right on time and performed the needed repairs with courtesy and professionalism. Will definitely call again for future needs. read more

I wish there were more stars available. I called Simpson Electric after seeing all the wonderful reviews here on Yelp. He got back to me to set up an appointment within 24 hours. He was quick, friendly and efficient and his prices were amazing. I will never again struggle with electrical issues at my house myself. I highly recommend him! read more

In summary: very good service at a competitive price. Nic is knowledgeable and diligent, and AVAILABLE (he came to my place on a Sunday to accomodate my travel plans). Recommended with no reservations. Details: I called Nic to come install a high-amp plug for my garage, in anticipation of getting a Tesla Model S. Nic was available later that day to give me an estimate range, which was a better deal than the other two electricians I had spoken to. We agreed to get the job done the next day. He arrived on time, did it, and charged me right in the middle of the range (not top end). I had another need and two days later, he came to install a candelabra. It was a Sunday. Overall, excellent experience with Nic. read more

Nic is so professional, thorough and extremely skilled. He gave me an extremely competitive bid on my recessed light installation project and then ended up charging me even less than his very competitive estimate! But more importantly his work is impeccable and his professionalism exemplary. Look no further! read more

These guys are the best! They replaced recessed lighting with LED lighting for us and installed dimmers. They were efficient and reasonable. Our go-to for electrical work. read more

This company is amazing - I called Nic first thing in the morning with an emergency electrical situation and he was able to fit me in to his schedule and was at my home within 2 hours. He is very efficient, professional and ethical. I don't even know where to start, however he went above and beyond his responsibilities. Such amazing customer service - he really cares about his clients and I will recommend him to everyone I know. read more

Had a couple of long-standing electrical issues. Nic diagnosed and repaired the problems and all is well. Very reasonable price. Nic is a very nice guy too. I'd use his services again. read more

Had a challenging project to hang a custom built chandelier on a 20 foot ceiling in a tight space. The two-man crew from Simpson took extra special care to plan everything out to ensure smooth sailing once they were up on the ladder (which was huge!). I'm sure it wasn't the easiest job they've ever had to do, but they were both very upbeat and courteous. I'd use them again in a heartbeat for any other electrical projects around the house. read more

Nic worked on the wiring and thermostat for the heated floors I used in my remodeled garage. He initially came out, did the assessment, offered a couple of different options, and I chose the cheaper option. When the job was scheduled, he was there on time, did the job I asked in timely fashion, and I'm quite pleased with the results. He also sent me an invoice the day after the job was complete as opposed to many contractors who demand the money immediately. Not that I mind paying immediately, but I appreciated the professional approach. Great experience as a customer. Highly recommended. read more

I'm only able to write this review because of Nic and Jesse! Our power was going in and out all day, and when PG&E came, they saw sparks and burn marks on our main panel. We had to shut off power around 10:30 the night before July 3rd, which was a holiday for many. We called six electricians that night trying to find someone but only getting voicemail. Nic texted back almost right away saying he would come first thing in the morning. He arrived promptly in the morning and looked everything over. Super polite and courteous, very knowledgeable, and he never tried to push us into more expensive options. Instead, he just let us know what could be done. We ended up choosing to replace the entire panel, and he and his brother started it that morning. They were here until 8:00 pm working non-stop. Super friendly and professional, and when they needed to come into the house, they even took off their shoes and were very careful to keep things clean. Overall, they were FANTASTIC. We will definitely be calling them for any and all of our electrical needs! read more

What a fantastic experience! Our heat went out due to a loose neutral in the panel and after a brief diagnostic the Simpson Brothers were able to fix it. They were able to come shortly after I called. They were so friendly and knowledgable. I would definitely recommend them and use them again!!! read more

Nic did a fantastic job finding a creative solution for an outlet problem on my old house. Super nice guy and obviously very skilled.

Best service call I've experienced. Nic answered the first time I called; I had an appointment within 2 days. He was quick, efficient, very neat and meticulous, did a great job with the 2 items I needed work on. Very friendly and polite. Very reasonable charge for service. I had called 3 handyman services for this job and not one returned my call. Great experience with Simpson Electric. read more

"A job well done"! to Nic and his crew, after installing what Nic called the "Trifecta" of electrical jobs: Install new main service panel, inside distribution panel and hooked up an electric car charging station at the front porch ( with an extra 110 volt outlet ) all in one day! Nic and crew started work on time, did high quality work, passed the Burlingame city inspection with no problems and left the job site clean. Nic is very knowledgeable in his trade and the finale cost came in under his original estimate. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Nic again for electrical work and I would highly recommend him for electrical projects. read more

I was recommended to Simpson Electric by our community email group. It was a great recommendation and we were extremely pleased with how our home ended up. Nic was able to solve some very complex problems with how to get recessed lighting in our ceiling that is over 18 feet high and has a narrow to non-existent crawl space. I had met with 2 other people, one was not licensed, and both were trying to charge more for the high ceiling. His experience and acumen are very impressive. He even asked if he could fix any other electrical issues I might have. He did a tour and noticed we had a poor job done by the prior owner in our room above our bed with 2 cans. He said, let me change those out for you and get them upgraded at the cost of only the parts. He threw it in as part of what we already agreed upon. His work was very neat and well done. Nic is a very honest, well experienced, licensed, and pleasant person to work with. His price is also fair for the value you receive. I would highly recommend Nic to anyone. read more

Nic was fantastic! He wore booties to keep our carpets clean, was courteous, clearly very knowledgeable and quickly diagnosed the trouble with our bathroom fan/light unit. He generously replaced a part that was not necessary but recommended from a preventative maintenance point of view. I will call Nic first for all future electric needs! read more

Nic came by on short notice (within two hours of the call) to help out with a small electrical problem. He was friendly, professional, and explained all of the steps to me since I'm always curious about learning how things work. He also gave a rough estimate about possibly putting in a ceiling fan down the road. Sometimes, you just know that someone is good to work with and I got that vibe immediately from Nic. We'll definitely be using Simpson Electric again if we need anything (though hopefully not soon, since that usually means something's going horribly wrong). read more

Great service! Nic and Jesse are professional, punctual, knowledgable and friendly as well as being reasonably priced. They replaced our whole electrical panel due to some major safety issues we didn't know we had. Turns out the previous owner was an amateur electrician and did confusing things the entirety of the electrical work in our house. The Simpson brothers did everything they could do the best, safest job for the lowest cost possible to us. I know they went above and beyond to work fast and intelligently within our budget to help out my little family. I trust them and will not hesitate to call them again and recommend them highly to my friends and family. Thanks, Simpson brothers! read more

Nic was GREAT!! My husband called him for a couple of electrical jobs we needed done. He responded quickly, fixed the problems and was priced fairly. There was one component that we needed for the repair so as soon as we bought it, he returned to finish the job without charging us an additional service charge. A contractor that returns your call immediately, does the job well and doesn't overcharge??Who could ask for more?? He definitely goes into my book for the "go to" electrician. read more

Nick fixed my electrical problem and was wonderful. He was on time, friendly, and his price and knowledge were great. I will call him for sure if I ever have another problem. read more

Nic is very knowledgable, honest, efficient and reliable. We had him repaired our fuse box after he diagnosed quickly where the problems were. His rates are very reasonable and he is very pleasant to work with. I highly recommend him for electrical work. read more

Nic was great to work with. He quickly pointed out the issue with my electrical (PG&E loose wire) and waited till their work was done to ensure my problem was fully resolved. Would highly recommend using Simpson. read more

I discovered a remodeling contractor had mis-wired our circuit breakers a few years ago so the air conditioning unit didn't run. Called Nic who had some time right then. He shows up in 30 minutes and had the breaker box rewired in 90 minutes using a new breaker from his truck. He pointed out some code violations that I might consider fixing "next time" - no pressure. He solved the problem efficiently, professionally and courteously, and at a very fair price. What more could you ask for? read more

I am so thankful I found Nic/Simpson Electric. I've had him over to add new breakers, extend a critical circuit downstairs and some other items. I found the rates to always be super reasonable and often worked on items as just a "service call". Their work was always neat and professional. I am truly grateful and he will be the first person I call from now on. read more
