Bryan Poli Electrical Contractor

Bryan is a rarity. Being extremely generous with his time, he patiently educated me about my potential issue and actually enabled me to resolve it myself. He clearly knows his stuff and would be a great find for anyone needing electrical help. Highly recommend.

I loved how responsive Bryan was to our needs and how he takes time troubleshooting, explaining what we could do ourselves, over the phone, so it wouldn't require a paid visit. And when it does require a visit, he does an excellent job. I hope he stays in the neighborhood, so we have someone to run to every time we have electrical issues!

Bryan came out to check on a wiring issue for me. He was super professional, fixed everything quickly, and went to extra mile in explaining what happened in laymen's terms for me. Highly recommended.

Bryan has been tremendously helpful and professional since the start:

- Always showing up on time
- Always professional by cleaning behind himself
- Always trustworthy and honest
- Easy to reach

I've already worked with him a few times already on small and large projects:

- Installing new electrical outlets
- Installing an outdoor lamp and outlets on my porch
- Replacing circuit breakers
etc.

I would definitely recommend him to anyone in the Bay Area.

I usually don't write reviews, but I was so impressed by Bryan just over the phone that I felt I had to write one.

I gave Bryan a call a few weeks ago to talk about some electrical problems at my house - my intention was to setup an appointment for him to take a look, make an estimate, and potentially add new circuits, but instead he gave me some excellent suggestions to try on my own so I could save money by not paying his hourly rate. I really appreciated this, and as it turns out he was right about the source of the problem and I ended up fixing it myself for just the cost of a new GFCI breaker (the old one was faulty and was tripping randomly even with no load on the circuit).

Beyond that I also want to mention that Bryan sounded extremely knowledgeable about this craft, he really took his time listening to my layman description of the situation (we probably talked for 20 minutes), asked for clarification when needed, and he did not suggest taking extreme or costly measures to fix the problem. It also sounded like he had a really clear mental picture of the layout of my kitchen and how it's wired (just based on our conversation), which I thought was remarkable considering he's never seen it in person or photo - this made the conversation all the easier.

I may still want to add more circuits in the kitchen - if I decide to do that I'll definitely give him a call for an estimate.

Bryan is great - extremely professional and prompt, and one of the few that does hourly work in the City. I am an amateur DIYer and ran into wiring confusion; Bryan able to solve a complicated wiring issue and panel issue extremely quickly, saving me countless frustration. Unlike other groups, Bryan runs the show, meaning you'll get reliability and integrity. Highly recommended, and will be calling back when I need future help!

Brian Poli was prompt, knowledgeable, and very thoughtful. He came well equipped with an obvious willingness to assist. Thankfully, my emergency was only temporary but unfortunate, as it occurred on Sunday evening. He responded promptly to my inquiry and because the emergency had passed was very helpful in scheduling his visit to a time that fit my schedule. He spent significant time analyzing the situation and he explained the causes to me in a way even I could understand. I wholeheartedly recommend him - first class in every way.

Responsive, timely and honest. We were looking to install a 240 V circuit for our dryer in our new home. We had a washer dryer set from our previous location and simply wanted to put it in, but of course had a gas hook up. It was an oversight and I was stuck with wanting to get the electrical work, the alternative being buy a new dryer which I was at first dreading. Bryan told us it was more cost-effective to buy a gas dryer, that we would get our money back on it in a year. The estimates we got were all in line with his but he knew the situation from the onset and didn't even really need to come by. But he did and gave us the correct answer. Bryan was right and now I will use him to put in an EV charging station instead once were ready.

Like many San Franciscans, my house is 100 years old and features a mix of knob and tube wiring and modern wiring from past remodels. I was planning to replace some ancient, painted-over two prong receptacles that were giving off sparks and wouldn't hold plugs well anymore. I know enough DIY that I've been able to replace switches and light fixtures on my own, but when I scraped off the decades-old paint, I saw that one of the outlets was screwed right into a rough sawn-out hole in the baseboard with no electrical box whatsoever. I decided I needed a pro's help.

I had a great initial phone call with Bryan; he readily discussed the problem with me and respected my limited but nonzero knowledge of electrical matters. Bryan was able to make a next day appointment for me. After I spoke with him on the phone, he sent a text to confirm the appointment, and another text to touch base right before the appointment. He showed up right on time.

Bryan replaced the ancient receptacles with shiny new three-prong ones, which included sawing out a new hole in baseboard to make room for an electrical box where the outlet had been installed without one. He showed me what he was doing every step of the way, and even offered to let me do as much of the work as I wanted under his supervision.

The appointment was actually fun and educational as well as getting the work done. The work he did looks very high quality - instead of just screwing down the old knob and tube cloth wires, he added fresh colored pigtails with butt splices and terminal connectors. He quickly grounded all the switches in my bathrooms as well, which a previous electrician had neglected to ground despite ground wire present in the box.

Bryan works by the hour, but he's upfront about his rates and works efficiently.

I asked him for recommendations on bigger projects like EV car charging, installing a more solid ground for the house, and removing all remaining knob and tube wiring. He gave great explanations of what was needed for each project, and was pragmatic about what was important to do and what wasn't. I felt confident that he wasn't trying to upsell unnecessarily.

I was very pleased with Bryan's work and would definitely call him again for other electrical projects.
