Great communication, friendly and showed up on time for our agreed appt time and offered a competitive quote. Unfortunately due to an misunderstanding on our end as the guest we did not have the work completed but due to our interaction for the quote I definitely recommend Tim's services for any electrical needs. read more

Really appreciate this business! This was a short fused request that was required for the sale of our home after the safety inspection. We appreciated the professionalism and attentiveness given to us by this business as we are not physically in the same state. Highly recommend this business! read more

Star Lighting & Electrical - Electric panel labeling * - Electricians Near Me

See all

Finding a competent, honest, reasonably priced electrician locally is such a valuable resource. This was my first time using Star Lighting and Electrical, But it's certainly won't be my last. Tim responded to my inquiry for help very quickly. He was one of the first two or three to reach out and asked if he could swing by the following day for a free estimate. Instead I sent him a couple of detailed photos showing where the existing outlet was and then the opposite side of the wall where I wanted a new outlet. He got back to me with a quote that was both fair and reasonable. Aaron showed up on time and in less than an hour, had my new outlet installed and everything cleaned up and looking great. I have other work that I would like to have done so I have requested a quote. These guys have absolutely earned my trust and business moving forward. As a senior citizen on a fixed income, it's tough to afford quality services, so when they are offered right out of the gate without having to haggle or cajole, it's very much appreciated. Highly recommended. read more

I called to have my can lights looked at and Tim replied in a timely manner. His guy, Aaron, stopped by and looked at my problem. Assessed and diagnosed it within 2 min... the fix was something I could try and handle, but Aaron explained it in detail on what needed to happen. I had a good interaction between both Tim and Aaron and will call them in the future if I have any electrical issues. read more

Starlight Lighting and Electrical gets a five star rating for me. Not only did they contact me after hours and gave me a flat rate. (a different company told me to contact him in the morning during office hours) They showed up on time and explained to me what my homeowner mistake was. (I was trying to wire a three-way switch and add a smart switch) Aaron was friendly and professional, and I would definitely consider using them in the future. If you need someone to wire up a fan or maybe even a whole house for you, you should consider them. read more

Star Lighting & Electrical - I started the project, but I needed help finishing it. This was before they showed up. - Electricians Near Me

I would highly recommend Star lighting & electrical they were amazing!! They took a glass cooktop out and a wall oven. They also put in electrical outlets and fixed a wiring problem that was done by someone else. The wiring done by the previous person could literally have led to an electrical fire. I'm pretty sure when they took on the job they expected the job to last no more than an hour but they were here for almost 4 hours fixing the wiring problem. They were very punctual, courteous and polite. They explained things in terms that made sense to me. they cleaned up everything and they even emptied my trash before they left. They gave great service at a great value. I will definitely be using them again in the future for all my electrical needs and will be referring them to friends and co workers!! read more

These guys are great. Very responsive. Did a great job on a pretty straightforward project. Have them saved in my contacts for my next electrical project. read more

Tim did a big project for me regarding electrical circuits that first started out didn't work in the kitchen, to a whole situation I had with a previous contractor regarding not completing city rules and such! He spotted this out right in the first initial visit and didn't charge me, but laid it all out on what needs to be done, and also physically was there to meet with the right people to get the job done in a timely manner. A bit hard to reach a times, but when we do connect, we do and I now feel comfortable knowing my electricity is up to par in safety and city standards. Thanks Tim! read more

Outstanding work! Fantastic price worth every cent. Professional would absolutely recommend to anybody looking to install contacted the evening before was able to install five ceiling fans at 9 AM the next day I couldn't be happier thank you so much Star lighting, and electric! read more

Tim came out to install a wifi enabled 3-switch light panel that had a mess of wires in the small electrical box. They were all painted over so I didn't want to touch them...and good thing because it was a pain to deal with. At least Tim handled with it in a positive & professional way. He's really a good guy. I would have been cursing the gods while getting shocked over and over. I also asked him to take a look at the doorbell system. I thought the doorbell chime or transformer wasn't working, but Tim isolated it down to the button. But because I had already bought a new chime, transformer, and video doorbell already, I asked him to install them all. The new transformer was necessary for the video doorbell to provide enough power. Anyways, the whole job helped me out from doing it all myself, and made sure that the electrical works the way it should. Two big honey-do tasks off my list!! It's nice to meet good people who do great work at a fair price. I forgot to mention that he was the first to respond to my request for help here on Yelp. I will definitely call on Tim and Star Lighting & Electrical for any future electrical jobs. Contact him, you'll see for yourself. read more

We used this company to install a transfer switch so when we lose electricity, we can hook our generator up to our electrical panel on the side of our house. They were quick and efficient and answered all my questions. Highly recommended. I received quotes from four different companies and they had the best prices. read more

Tim and his son did a fantastic job on multiple projects at our house. I was initially looking for help to run a 220V line for my hot tub on the opposite corner of my house from the electrical box. I got quotes from 4 different companies. I got the best "vibe" from Tim who pointed out several aspects of the job that no one else mentioned and was super responsive on the quote and on scheduling the work. Once they were onsite, we identified a couple other jobs and asked them to quote, which they did on the spot, and added to the scope same day. Incredibly flexible and responsive. They were patient with us as we took a couple tries to purchase the right ceiling fan. They were also great with dealing with our crazy work schedules. High quality work from high quality people. Would recommend 10 out of 10 times and will hire again. read more

I was looking to install the EV charger , but then I realized I don't have any 50 amp port left in the breaker. Few advised and quoted for all new panel and needs a new location to install which is like an all new project. However, Tim visited the site and solved my problem in no time. I'm delighted to share my positive experience about star lighting who provided exceptional service at an incredibly competitive price. Their work was top-notch, and the affordability was a significant plus. Highly recommended! read more

I had a couple of pendant lamps in 12 ft high ceilings and a cat 6 outlet installed. Very friendly and professional people, I highly recommend this company. Unbeatable price. read more

Great business and great work done. Tim installed a new breaker panel and hard wired the hottub for us. Additionally they installed some additional outlets and did a safety inspection. Very happy with the work done. Can highly recommend. read more

I am always apprehensive when calling a service or repair technician to my home because not all of them are honest or competent. Tim came out and I immediately got a good feeling about him from his respectful demeanor. He brought his son the next day and was very thorough and explained what he was doing in a step by step manner. He diagnosed the problem which was relatively minor ( unlike the previous electricIan who said it was a major repair) and quickly resolved the issue. I can't say enough good things about Tim and his son ,as far as competency, honesty and fair pricing. I will not hesitate to use them again or refer them to my neighbors. read more

Tim and Aaron are fantastic. They helped us relocate light fixtures, wire in wall sconces, wire the house with cable for our internet, and helped us figure out an inexpensive way to add a light switch on the other end of the kitchen (without opening any walls!). They are really good at explaining the different ways they could go about each project, and the relative cost of each one. (For example, can I live with my dining room light fixture being 1" off center from the table so that we don't have to drill through any ceiling beams and we can keep the project far less expensive or do I want it to be perfect regardless of the cost?) I love working with them on my own home projects, but as a Realtor, I also call them every time one of my clients needs an electrician. They have always been reliable, for both large jobs and small jobs. I have no hesitation recommending them. :) read more

We contacted Star Electrical to swap out a 3-prong electrical cord on our dryer to a 4-prong one, and would highly recommend them! The process was seamless and we were really happy with the work - Tim responded quickly and came over to take a look and give an estimate, and Aaron came over to swap out the cord on another date. Their pricing is competitive. They were fast, super knowledgeable, and clearly explained what was being done - with electrical work, safety is so important, and I felt very comfortable and confident in their expertise. While installing the cord, Aaron discovered that part of the original installation had been done incorrectly, which was so helpful to us since our dryer was still under warranty, and we could still contact LG to correct the issue. They are also so friendly, polite, and professional, and very easy to communicate with. We were really happy with the quality of their work, and would undoubtedly use them again! read more

Needed an installation of a new circuit and outlet to switch from a gas dryer to an electrical dryer. Tim and his crew did a great job! I am very happy with the whole experience. I appreciated the free estimate, reasonable price, easy scheduling, promptness to work, finishing work in time, courteous and knowledgeable staff who patiently addressed all questions and concerns. It was hassle free from beginning to end. Highly recommend them! read more

Quickly trouble shot my problem over the phone! Simply had to reset my GFCI receptacle. Thanks Tim!!!

Mine was a simple job--replace an outdoor electrical outlet. Star Lighting quoted the best price and Aaron provided excellent and highly professional service. I found my go-to contractor for all things electrical. My advice to anyone is to not waste your time looking for a lower price and just higher the best for a reasonable price--Star Lighting & Electrical. read more

Tim and his son Aaron make a great team. They installed my Herman Miller pendant lamp and gave solid recommendations about the best type of LED light bulb to use with it. They also installed some lovely sconces and a new dimmer switch. Tim also followed up to make sure I didn't experience any issues after the installation. My living and dining rooms have an excellent ambiance now! read more

I arrived here in CA in 2011 to oversee a large construction project for a Retirement Community/Skilled Nursing Home. I was tasked with construction oversight and finding qualified contractors to aid in completing our project. I didn't know any Electrical Contractors in the area, so I turned to Yelp to research potential vendors. I called multiple companies and I ran across Star Lighting & Electrical. They had really positive feedback and the reviews showed they had the skills that I was looking for. When we spoke on the phone, it was quickly evident to me that the gentleman I was speaking to was both knowledgeable and qualified. We started our 1st project in November of 2011 and have continued working together ever since; 12 years strong! Star Lighting & Electrical have done residential and commercial jobs for me; both large projects and small installs or repairs, and they always do a great job. Very pleased with their work. Tim, Aaron and their team are Great! Hardworking, Dependable, Timely and Fair. Jonni S. read more

Tim, Aaron, and other members of the team are experienced, reliable, creative and extremely hard working. They upgraded my electrical panel at the demand of Tesla for my solar roof. The upgrade was immensely complicated given the location of my existing panel over the gas main and no room around it. They liaised with PG&E, Alameda County and Tesla to determine the required new location that was within code and worked with the Tesla equipment. After numerous calls, photos, and visits, Tim was able to coordinate all parties to an agreement and then do the work to move the panel, add a roof riser, and get both PG&E and the county to sign off. In the meantime, I had Tim and team replace all of my outdated wiring, outlets and switches (my house is 1948), as well as move my inbound internet connection to the other side of my house. They also hardwired all of my rooms to improve on the poor internal wifi due to plaster walls, in addition to upgrading all my canned lighting. They completed all work within very reasonable estimates and in a timely fashion. They always communicated when to expect them, they were on time, friendly and helpful. I always felt like I could rely on them and trust them, for their work and being in my home. I have a big job in the backyard next and am delighted to have Tim, Aaron and team on my team for that job. Having service providers you can trust and that you can turn to for expert advice as well as assistance when anything unexpected turns up is invaluable. I highly recommend them for any electrical job. read more

I've been remiss in not writing a review for Star Lighting. I've been working with Tim & his team for at least 10 years. Great work, nice team & respectful of one's home. read more

First off, this business is not in San Carlos - it's in Hayward. I asked for 2 ceiling fans to be installed. Tim sent one of his workers to do the job and overcharged, which I thought was ok as long as the work was professional and clean. Unfortunately it was not. The guy left with the fans wobbling. There were also little pieces of electrical wire on my floor. He eventually came back and fixed one of the fans and apologized for leaving them the way he did, but the 2nd one he gave up on. When taking down that fan, I found one of the screws that held the mouting bracket to the light box was very loose, which was causing the wobble. What an ameteur ! I communicated with Tim and he was unapologetic and unresponsive. He apparently thinks very highly of himself but his service isn't professional quality and you would be better off hiring a handyman. Tim charges a $150 "trip charge" just to show up and thereafter his rates get fuzzy, depending on who you talk to at his company. All in all, I hope to never enounter such a poor service company again! read more

Jonni S. I cover the maintenance for a large Retirement Community in the area and I've needed assistance with Electrical work several times over the past year or so. I found out about Tim, Star Lighting & Electrical, via "word of mouth" and very quickly realized that this was a great connection for me. I've used Tim many times since we first met, both small jobs and rather large ones, and he and his crew have done an outstanding job of solving my problems. Also, worth mentioning, is the fact that both he and his son are very polite, very helpful and very easy to work with and just as important is the fact that they are honest and very fair on the billing of their work. I highly recommend Tim and his crew. JS read more

On time, flexible, very willing to please and I have been very particular with regard to the details in my bathroom remodel. They provided great advise which prevented having to replace my service for a couple of grand. They are very safety conscious. And very nice people!! read more

Tim was recommended to me by my real estate agent, Cheryl. Tim and his crew are awesome. They did a fantastic job on the electrical upgrades on my home which took them about two days to finish. They grounded my system and installed additional outlets, switches, strip lights in the garage, flood light, and an address light. No hitches in their work. I'm very impressed and would not hesitate to call them again should I need any electrical work done in the future. read more

Tim was available last minute to install a ceiling fan and multiple receptacles. Very fast, efficient and courteous service. Competitive pricing a plus. read more

Tim and his team have done consistently great work for us multiple times on our house. Each time, his pricing really clear and reasonable. When we bought our home, we knew we were going to remodel the kitchen and bathrooms and upgrade portions of the electrical system. Our real estate agent referred Tim, saying he was her go to guy for all things electrical. She was right, he's been great to work with. read more

Efficient, honest, reliable, Tim and his team will do a very precise and neat job. I must admit I wish every service I have been using were like this. To add a cherry on the cake, they are all very respectful, polite and friendly. I can only recommend them. read more
