Joining the chorus of folks who have tripped Matt's trigger. Grateful that I found out in our initial consultation that his expectation is to dominate the conversation, interrupt continuously and be condescending. He would not allow me to finish explaining what my scenario is and ultimately hung up on me and left me a snippy text with of course, the requisite passive-aggressive "Don't bother. I will not be doing any work for you and have a nice day." This guy has his own little kingdom. More and more of us are discovering we don't need to serve. read more

Matt does a very good job, complete and efficient, very high recommendation, prompt, trustworthy

Matt has done 3-4 jobs for me and has been excellent every time. He has installed sub panels corrected some of my work and just recently found a "missing" hot line to power a light switch. All this in a 112 year old house. read more

Would like to recommend the electrician Matt Wilson, wilson.electric@live.com. I called him about a beeping smoke alarm that wouldn't stop, even after it had been removed from the house, and unwired from the ceiling. He called me within the hour, talked me through what I needed to do (no easy feat as I am NOT a technical person) and helped me fix it myself over the phone. He was very courteous, eager to help, prompt--in short, a gem! Matt Wilson's can be reached at (510) 417-1203 Can't recommend him enough. read more

My go to electrician for My Home and rental. Very friendly, polite, pricing good, local and definitely knows what he's doing.

Had my kitchen ceiling fan replaced in less than a hour Will definitely be using Wilson electric for future electrical jobs read more

Matt did some troubleshooting in my dining room Chandelier and installed a 240 hookup for my new electric dryer. He was friendly, knowledgeable efficient and resourceful. Plus, he was extremely fair with his pricing. Matt is and will remain my go-to guy for my electrical needs. He has earned my business and trust. read more

Wilson Electric was fabulous! My garbage disposal stopped working, and the plumber who had installed it told me it was "the switch." Many calls later, I finally found Wilson Electric, thank goodness! First, on the phone, Matt tried to guide me to check my circuit breaker to see if we could diagnose a simple fix w/o a house call. But, alas, I was clueless. Matt was able to come the next day after our chat, and he quickly diagnosed and fixed the problem! Much to my delight. His rate was the lowest of any electrician I had found, and his service and demeanor were TOP NOTCH!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Matt of Wilson Electric for ANY job requiring electrical expertise. FIVE STARS!! read more

Quick and thorough work Needed a breaker panel overhaul and got it done in a breeze read more

I had an enormous problem and was terrified at what someone would charge me. I called Matt and his first response was to have pg&e come evaluate! This would cost me nothing and if it was their issue then I wouldn't have to employ him! That was such an honest thing to do! I wouldn't use anyone else! read more

Matt was great. Came here on a Monday morning and replaced our old, worn out receptacle for our dryer. Finished the job in less than 30 minutes I think. We will definitely be calling him again for any electrician needs we have in the future. read more

Big Shout out to the Team at Wilson Electric!!!! Called about some issues we were having with our lights in our warehouse. Was not sure what we needed to do to get the switches changed. Other electric companies did not call us back or respond to the emails and messages. Thank you Thad for coming out to get this figured out for us. Really appreciate your time and professional skills...Thanks guys!!!! read more

Matt is amazing! I just bought a house, that ended up needing a lot of extra work from the previous tenants. Matt was super reliable, went the extra mile, even going so far as to talk with PG&E for me to figure out what needed to be done to satisfy PG&E. Not only is he responsive & knowledgeable, He takes his time to educate new homeowners like myself. If you find this review and are looking for an honest, reliable, knowledgeable, affordable electrician, look no further! read more

Matt is super awesome and hard working. He is way to get along with and you can trust that the work is done right. Definitely an asset to our community. read more

Matt was very helpful and professional. Would use him again. In a matter of fact I think I will have Matt do my ceiling fan and a couple other things I have been putting off. Five stars for Wilson electric. read more

Matt Wilson is the best! He saved out butts with a last minute electrical repair in 2016. Now in 2019, I called with a burnt out light in the kitchen. He evaluated my lighting issue on the phone and recommended a solution. We set an apppointment and he replaced all of my out of date florescent light cans in the kitchen and replaced them with LED lights. Quick, reasonable, showed up time and finished on time. He estimated the time it would take to do the job and came in right on schedule. He was thorough, efficient and no nonsense! It is really difficult to get an electrician out to a residence to do a "small job", but Matt treats his customers like they are important, no matter the size of the job! read more

Very helpful and gave us options that saved us a bunch of money. Would highly recommend him.

Matt and Jimmy are excellent expediting, eliminating my electrical problems from my home forever! Matt and Jimmy are my Electrical Heroes! Thank you so very much for coming on such short notice fixing all my BIG electrical issues in less than TWO hours! So awesome! read more

See all

Wilson is great! Fast service! I called him and left a message stating that I need to replace a breaker. He alled back after a couple of minutes and asked me to take a picture of the breaker. The next day he came over and replaced the breaker without any issues. read more

Wilson electric rules! Matt showed up early (because I requested it) then did the work quickly and correctly. He was kind and explained everything really well. The bill was very reasonable. I recommend highly! read more

Lets support small local business! Matt is good at communicating, shows up with a mask and on time, quick and very reasonably priced. He is my go-to for any electrical issues. read more

This electrician is not reliable. We called him because of a couple of positive reviews on another social media platform. We made an appointment for him to troubleshoot a lighting system the next day. We rearranged our schedule and waited for him. He never showed up and never called to cancel the appointment or explain what had happened. He's very unprofessional. Unless, you feel like waiting around on the off chance he might show up for an appointment, I'd call another electrician. read more

I found Matt's name on NextDoor, and saw that he had great Yelp! reviews. Matt responded promptly to my message (I think I emailed and left him a voicemail) and was able to come out the next day. That was important, because my refrigerator was cycling on and off power (mostly off!) Matt quickly diagnosed the problem as being a worn-out breaker. (The breaker switch didn't flip because the breaker wasn't working.) He replaced it and got it working in short order, and then suggested that the next time one goes out, whether I call him or someone else, I have them all replaced, to save myself multiple service calls. I asked him if he could just go ahead and replace them all, and we made an appointment for a few days later. He replaced all of the breakers, plus a couple of electrical outlets that no longer gripped the plugs. Best of all, he billed is as only one service call, plus parts. So if you need an electrician, I highly recommend Matt. He is an electrical contractor who is fully bonded and licensed. read more

Matt has installed outdoor lights, a new sub-panel and outlets in my garage. The quality of work is great and his prices are more than fair. I'd definitely recommend his services. read more

See the photo I posted of the message from Matthew Wilson. Great assumption there, pal. Loving the capitals for the extra emphasis. I must be RICH since I live in Tiburon, not like there's any apartment-dwellers or renters in Tiburon... Not only that, if you base your pricing on income, you don't deserve my or anyone else's business. read more

Wilson Electric - Great assumption there, pal. - Electricians Near Me - El Sobrante, California

Are you kidding me! Matt comes over on a Saturday and changes my ballast and light in my kitchen for less then what I expected, and he does it in between doing wash loads... He was quick, polite and funny! He is "Old School" and fair.... He did the job in less then a half an hour so he only charged me for a half an hours work... Other electricians on yelp offered to do the same job for $550... I didn't think they made honest people like Matt Wilson these days! I will definitely call him again for any of my electrical jobs... Thank You Again!! read more

I called him on the advice of Berkeley Parent's Network. On the first call, he did nothing but give me a snotty attitude so I thought, "Well, maybe he's having a bad day." I booked him anyway. What a mistake! The next day when he was supposed to show up, no one came. I called and asked what the issue was and he said he din't have my phone number so couldn't call me to be let into the building. And when I asked if he had a call log to see what my number was, it was all nasty attitude all over again saying he didn't even write it down and how could I even think that he would know what my number was when he gets so many calls every day. It's not hard to determine a number when you know that you spoke to someone from an inbound call at around a specific time. And then he proceeded to tell me that coming out to the service call was a "waste of time. You wasted an hour my time." At that point, I let him know how unprofessional he was and hung up. Completely unprofessional, completely not to be counted on. Don't put yourself through it. read more

Matt is great. He responded very quickly to my call and came out to my location, unscheduled, at the end of his workday to check why my dryer wasn't turning on. I felt very bad that it was just a tripped circuit but he was very courteous about it. Definitely my go-to electrician. read more

Rude. He's upset at me for requesting a quote via the "get a quote" option on the Yelp app... Based on his advertisement!! Not sure how/why a business owner would behave this way. Most people want business and create relationships for future jobs... But not here. He emailed me a month later to continue to gripe. From the other reviews, there seems to be a pattern here. I'd be wary of this business. read more

Efficient and honest ! I have referred Matt and his crew and have no regrets with doing so.

WARNING: THE EMPLOYEES OF WILSON ELECTRIC ARE EITHER THIEVES OR GROSSLY NEGLIGENT Either these guys stole thousands of dollars worth of my personal belongings from my garage, or they negligently left my garage door unlocked without my knowledge or permission for over ten days (in Richmond, California) while they were doing work and a thief came in from the outside and spent considerable time carefully picking through my stuff. The work was not done on time (and is still ongoing as I write this) and I have been having electrical issues which started when they were working and they deny it was their doing and instead say it's 'the wind' causing the problem and apparently are refusing to address or fix it. My hope is whatever they did wrong will be discovered and fixed as they complete the job. Additionally, they ignored repeated requests that they call or text ahead of time to let me know when they would be coming by, even if it was only to give me 10 minutes warning while they were en route so I could be prepared. This has been a horrible experience through and through. It sounds like these guys are stretched way too thin and it really shows. Even without the theft of my belongings, I would have not been able to give them more than two stars. read more

I have never experienced such rudeness and unprofessionalism. He came into my unit, wouldn't communicate nor explain things to me. He had his own agenda and would not allow me to give him a tour and explain what I needed done. He was short with me, impatient and raised his voice to me. I told him that was unacceptable. He left the job!!! I've let all my real estate friends know to never use them!!! I had to scramble today to line up another electrician and one of my real estate friends has set up one of hers. Thank goodness. Moving is so stressful as it is, you need to be working with people who are respectful, patient and VERY flexible. read more

I was shocked to have your electrician show up wearing a political hat. During these times I don't see that as a benefit. I was offended. I can't wear political items to work I'm not sure why you allow your electricians to do so. You are going to offend half the population. Politics does not belong at work especially when you service the public. read more

These guys are AWESOME!! All the power blew in my house. Matt, the owner, tried to talk me through resetting my main breaker, but after twenty minutes he decided it was best to send someone out. He tried to save me a service call. Josh showed up got the main breaker to reset then he checked my inside panel.He took it apart, vacuumed it out (there was a lot of dust and insulation in it) then he tested all of the individual breakers. He found one that kept tripping and was causing the main breaker to trip. My panel was not labeled well at all. He figured out that the stove top (I have a separate oven) was causing the problem. Josh figured out that the short which was causing everything to trip was in the stove top, not the wires between the box for the stove top and the panel. He disconnect the stove top so it could not start a fire. He recommended that I start thinking about replacing my inside panel, especially because it is so old, and a bit of a "rats nest" of wires. The outside panel could stand to be replace too. These guys are awesome and very trustworthy! I highly recommend them. read more

Awesome company! My circuit breaker tripped and wouldn't reset. I thought I was going to have to have someone come out because I'm not too comfortable working with electrical panels. I called Matt and instead of telling me he needs to inspect it and charge X amount, he asked me a few questions and walked me through some trouble shooting. It turns out I had a bad surge protector plugged in and it prevented the breaker from resetting. Matt seems really knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Great to know there are honest businesses around my area. read more

Wilson Electric - Breaker wouldn't reset. Matt walked me through and figured out the problem without having to come out for a service call. - Electricians Near Me - El Sobrante, California

So Wilson Electric tackled all my home electrical projects quickly, with great professionalism and for a great price. We had some tricky wiring situations for several fans, a light fixture and a few exterior outlets. Our mid century modern house and exposed beam ceilings didn't make our projects easy- but Matt and his guys had no problem getting everything up and running for us. I highly recommend hiring Matt for any job- read more

Matt was great. We had an issue with the ground in our kitchen. He answered his phone right away. After talking to my husband he asked him to send a picture thinking he could advise him and save us some money. He responded to the picture immediately and said he would be here in an hour. He arrived promptly, went right to work and identified the problem. He did the work at a reasonable price. We are so happy to find him. We will use him again and recommend him with no hesitation. read more
