In a nutshell: -- Reasonably priced -- Will send an estimate for the scope of work -- Can handle a long laundry list of "honey do" electrical requests -- Cleans up after work done -- Will haul away boxes, old lightbulbs, etc. from your house so you don't have to worry about disposal -- Will wear a face covering and remove shoes or wear shoe coverings upon request -- Will take Venmo, Paypal, credit card or check as payment options My next door neighbor recommended Brian Spitzer to me because he said Brian had the best prices and does quality work. I have had three electricians in my house over the last year, and Spitzer Electric is by far my favorite. He is polite, quick, clean, and handles lay speak "I need the thing that does the thing...". Notably, he provides an itemized estimate for the scope of work you're requesting so you can sort of cherry pick what you need done and what you don't need done. He also gave me suggested products to purchase ahead of time (e.g., bathroom fans) so that we could get moving pretty quickly. All-in-all, he is the first electrician I would recommend to you. His son is super polite as is his assistant, Carlos. THANK YOU, Brian! You know you're getting a third call from me once my checkbook recovers. -------Scopes of Work for Reference------- 1.

Bryan and his team did a great job for the lighting project in our house. We wanted to change 2 chandeliers and add 16 recessed lights. Our situation is difficult because 1 chandelier was installed on an awkward location on a 19' tall ceiling. Not only this, we also need to change the chandelier's mounting location. Therefore, we will need drywall patch work in our project as well. One big reason I decided to hire Bryan for our job is he works with another awesome drywall contractor-Christian which is super friendly and does a wonderful work on drywall. With Bryan, I don't need to worry finding the drywall contractor myself. This is very convenient and saves me lots of time. The job quality is good! They show up on time and they work hard. We had issues on chandeliers due to the light store's fault. Bryan's team followed the progress and managed to finish the installation right after I received the missing parts from the store. Finally, we have two new chandeliers now and all our rooms are equipped with recessed lights. We are happy! :) read more

Bryan is great. I always call him for all of my electrical needs - residential and commercial. He is very fair priced and knows what he is doing. I highly recommend you use him! read more

I found them via nextdoor and decided to give them a try for a ceiling fall installation and some other minor work. They were quick to schedule me in and Bryan arrived on time. He understood the current situation quickly and got into action right away. He and his helper were both wearing masks all the time and were courteous. Bryan was very friendly and explained things as he worked. They cleaned up after the completion of the work, which was great. I would definitely reach out to them again for anything electric :) read more

Great guy and great quality work. He's now the default electrician for our neighborhood because we all keep referring him to each other.

They never followed up even after I spoke had a phone conversation and email exchange with the owners.

I'm extremely delighted to write this review. Bryan, goes above and beyond. He's super punctual, very very reasonable with pricing, amazing work on top of that he's a Niner fan, what else can you ask for ? His assistant was awesome, they installed several recessed lights, chandelier, fan etc. I'm certain that I found my electrician!! read more

I am pleased to report my experience: on time, masked up, friendly, solved my problem in a heartbeat and now for the creme de la creme - he gave me a smile and didn't charge me (you had to be there). So, yeah, I recommend them and more importantly, I would trust that I'm not getting ripped off. read more

I've used Spitzer both for my home and for my business. AMAZING! He is such a wonderful, competent and kind man. He is great to work with and gets the job done! Definitely give him a call for any project and you will be happy. He ran lights, fixed all of my wonky plugs, set up everything for an outdoor tv and gave us a great ceiling fan where there wasn't one. Thank you Bryan! read more

I had some electric gremlins I was chasing in my home and called several electricians that didn't take the time to understand my problem and quoted unnecessary work. I called Spitzer Electric and Bryan took the time to stop by, listen to what the problem was, properly diagnose it, and make a recommendation on a fix. On the day of the repair, they showed up on time and made quick work of the repair and minimized the downtime as my kids were home schooling. I did have two issues that I had to call Bryan for post repair. Very quick to respond and stop by. Both times the issues were NOT related in any way to the quality work they did. None the less Bryan helped troubleshoot and resolve. Don't hesitate to call them for your electrics needs. Highly recommended! read more

Bryan and Brianna were awesome to work with. Brianna was very easy to get a hold of for communication and to get things scheduled. Bryan did an amazing job on our full home remodel. We had him replace every outlet and switch control, install HDMI ports and electrical outlets behind our TVs, and replace our recessed lighting. He showed up, got it done, and no issues, could have asked for anything else! read more

Bryan Spitzer helped us immensely with the electrical needs of our home remodel. We are in an older house, and Brian had to troubleshoot problems and correct faulty wiring from the former owners. He was efficient in his work, quickly solving problems and explaining the corrections he was making. I would hire him again because of his professionalism and expertise. We hired him for three jobs, and we would call him again. read more

They did a beautiful job of installing our lights!! Will have them come back to do the next set!

Couldn't be happier with Bryan. We had a difficult situation and he rose to the occasion and made it happen. They had a quick response time when I contacted them and came out in a timely manner. Am using him again in a few weeks for more work. read more

I highly recommend this company! The owner came over on a Sunday. We just moved in to our place and had outlets that weren't working. He was super quick and friendly. We are super grateful! read more

I am so appreciative of how pleasant and efficient it was to have my electrical issue diagnosed and repaired. They were accommodating and helpful from the first phone call to completion of the job. Everything was dealt with in a single day rather than waiting a day for a response which is what the competition advertised. read more

Having relocated to Livermore, I've lost connections with all my friends and general contractors whom worked in the Bay Area/Peninsula. I went on yelp and just as was suggested, I wish I could give Spitzer Electric more than 5stars. It was about 2weeks ago when I had called and spoke with Briana, Bryan's wife who immediately answered my call after a few rings when NO OTHER electricians did as I went down the list on yelp when finding "Electricians" in Livermore. Briana was already on her laptop typing away as I described my rather unusual situation below as follows: I had a split 5second power outage from PG&E that caused a power surge triggering my smoke detectors and residential fire alarm bell to ring. After it soft-reset, it triggered again after 1min which happened consistently for a span of 3-4days with a 24hr cooldown period in-between (at least while I was at home with my family when not at work). I followed my Builders advice to reset the smoke detectors and had PG&E send an on-field technician to make sure our circuit breakers were not tripped. I was then told to reset my furnace; however, the air conditioning automatically turned on then off then on again so I just left the furnace switch off for over one month until we needed heat due to winter season. Briana gave me an abundance of resources both from personal experiences, connections that she had a strong relationship with to include saving me money from resolving the issue over the phone instead of spending money/time performing a diagnostic test which would of been the last resort should my issue had reoccurred. Briana contacted me via phone and text through the entirety and even followed up with me after her business meeting when I totally had forgotten due to personals. I highly recommend anyone living in Tri-Valley/Surrounding Areas or Bay Area to go with Spitzer Electric for their integrity, knowledge and expertise in all electrical work! And as I had mentioned before Briana is a Godsend; my family and I are kept warm throughout the winter night without having to worry about our smoke detectors/fire alarm bell triggering. read more

Spitzer Electric is the cream of the crop when it comes to electrical work. I have had Bryan do multiple jobs in my home. He has always done a great job at a great price. We've gone through a few contractors and electricians that either didn't do the job right or didn't even complete their work! Bryan was able to fix problems with lights and wiring that others were not able to fix. It's a big sigh of relief to know that our issues were solved thanks to Bryan. He's friendly, clean and is really great about scheduling. I have even called him to install all new wiring for our hot tub with little notice and he came through and did a stellar job. I highly recommend Spitzer Electric and we will definitly be using them again in the future! read more

Wanted some lights installed, but needed to have the boxes added and electrical run. The communication was quick and organized. He stopped by for an evaluation and we received the quote within the timeframe stated. Job was easily scheduled, showed up on time (very communicative), job well done, and left a clean work site. Whole process was done in a week. Happy with the results and would use again. read more

Bryan showed up on time, was very easy to talk to, and his estimate was on point. I have a neighbor that is getting work done by Bryan as well. Don't waste your time looking, and book Bryan asap!! read more

Bryan installed an electric charger in our garage. He was very professional, reliable and did an amazing job. We would definitely hire him again for any other electrical work. read more

Very honest and straightforward. We've had two outlets installed on the outside of our house by them (240v for an electric car charger and a 120v RV outlet) Both were done quickly and at a very reasonable price. Would definitely use them again. Brad read more

Had these guys perform work on my commercial building, they gave me an reasonable estimate and performed the work quickly and to my satisfaction. Highly recommend Brian read more

On time and great electrician. Rates are fair and he is very knowledgable! Brianna on the phone is also very kind!

Bryan just completed a replacement of my Insteon Wall keypads that control several lights in my backyard and kitchen. They had malfunctioned a long time ago, but no other electrician had worked with this type of lighting before and couldn't think of what to do. One offered to set up a different light system, but I loved my system when it worked and wanted it working again. Bryan came out and took the time to inspect how it was originally set up, studied how to install replacement keypads, and gave a very reasonable quote for the price. He came on time, and installed the keypads, linking them to all the remote lights in the yard and kitchen. It is working again! I will hire Bryan at Spitzer Electric for all electrical needs in the future. read more

Bryan is a LICENSED / awesome / honest / electrician. Bryan showed up promptly and on short notice. He is a breath of very fresh air when trying to find someone to complete a small job in the city. Why can't they all be like Bryan ? :-) read more

Bryan came on short notice and fixed the electrical problem in our gym. Affordable price and excellent work. Thanks Bryan!

Bryan, from Spitzer Electric installed the lights in my newly remodeled master bathroom. He advised which lights would complement the style and be energy efficient. The end result....a beautifiul bathroom with awesome light fixtures. Spitzer Electric was timely, courteous and cleaned up after the job. Thanks, Bryan it was a great experience. read more

Brianna called me 15 minutes after the initial visit was scheduled at 10:00am June 6 to tell me their child was sick so Bryan would not be able to make it out. Seems they could have lmk sooner. Wanting to give them another chance, I rescheduled for June 27 and Bryan came out to assess the project and give us an estimate. When he left he said I would receive the quote later that night or the next day, but I received nothing. July 2 and still nothing so I sent a message to let them know if they sent the quote to check email address as I did not receive it. Texted me a couple days later on July 4 said they would send on the 5th...still nothing! I texted them on July 16th with no response. Then on July 18th their out of office was set for two weeks...vacation without calling or sending quote first? Unbelievable! My BIG concern is that when dealing with electrical work, you want someone that pays careful attention to detail...from my experience this is not the right person for the job. Wasted over 8-weeks of my time waiting and being ignored-- very unprofessional. read more

Brian is great. He installed a large chandelier on a high celling all by himself. Others quoted me a lot more saying it would take two men to do the job. He also installed a ceiling fan and recessed lighting in the master bedroom. No complaints with the work. I would definitely call him again. read more

I called Bryan and asked him to come look at some issues we where having with outlets and give us a quote. He was able to be super flexible with our schedule and maintained communication without me throughout the scheduling process. Once he got there, he was SO THOROUGH. He could have given a quote and left, but he checked all our problem lights, our outlets, crawled up in our attic, crawled under our house, investigated and fixed the issue, and even identified and helped solve a plumbing issue and a fire hazard in the process. Needless to say, he went above and beyond to make sure no stone was left unturned, was really personable and we will be contacting him in the future! read more

Brian was very quick to respond to my inquiry, and he made sure to schedule my appointment in a timely manner. He showed up early, and took his time to thoroughly investigate the electrical issue I was having. He was able to solve the issue, and he explained the solution to me in a way that was very accessible. He was professional and courteous, and very fair in price. I will definitely reach out to Brian again, and I highly recommend him for any electrical repair needs. read more

Called to have a chandelier installed after reading the Yelp reviews. I have nothing but good things to add to the already great ones on here. The pricing is competitive, the customer service was great and the chandelier looks just perfect. Will come back for any electrical needs. read more

I called Briana at Spitzer Electric to repair a cable that was punctured by a nail. Bryan came out and quickly assessed the situation. The following day, he arrived with the material in hand and quickly made the repair. Briana kept me informed of the situation both days. They were an absolute pleasure with which to do business. read more
