Chris Borg Electric

L W.

Chris did a job for me about a year ago. He was prompt and did a wonderful job changing out the canister lights in our kitchen. I'm surprised I didn't give him a Yelp review at the time when the job was done because he did excellent work. I recommended him to many people.

However, I recently had an issue with one of the lights and got in touch with Chris to have him look at it and fix the problem. He assured me he would come out when he returned from his vacation. That didn't happen even after I contacted him when he got back.

So, a 5 star review becomes 2 stars. I don't appreciate it when a contractor will not stand behind his work and just ignore me when there is a problem. Customer service is part of the deal.

The reviews are rather old. We chose him based on all the rock star reviews. Have been nothing but disappointed. They installed our recessed lighting and some fans. However there was a delay on the switch of the start to the light...which they could never address we just had to live with.

They then installed our fans after the recessed light install so now we have lots of flickering in our room due to the combo of the fan and lights. Pretty distracting while watching tv. We have to choose lights or fans because it's so bad.

Honestly don't feel that yelp can be trusted. And now have to get a new electrician to fix this costing even more. Just terrible. Don't do it.

Best electrician experience I had while living in the peninsula. A small team came to do various electrical outlet repair as well as the mount / install and electrical wiring for my new OTR microwave / oven combo. The work was done back in 2013; I just came across the receipt today, and am writing this review so I'll remember to hire them again in the future. (Yep, that's what a polite + professional experience it was.)

Chris is super - really knows his stuff. We use him for our home and recommend him to anyone who asks.

I am, unfortunately, forced to lower my rating on Chris Borg. I had Chris out to do a couple more jobs at the house a couple months ago. Everything was fine but he ran out of time before he could finish rewiring a ceiling fan. He told me we would reschedule soon. It's been a little more than two months and I still have no ceiling fan or light in my dining room. I attempted to contact via email and phone and got no response. Not sure what happened, maybe he got some bigger jobs that pay more, but if you forget the little guy, you might find their voice carries some weight with all the other little guys and gals out there in Yelp-land. Guess I'll be getting another electrician for my other pending jobs. Too bad, I really liked his crew.

Chris is awesome. He and Dennis did a great job with installing some new outlets in our house and installing a new panel. Both are very responsive and made sure to minimize any inconvenience (i.e., interior access, power outage, etc). Incidentally, they happen to be really nice people too! I'd highly recommend Chris for any electrical needs.

Chris was very helpful and we have not even met. There was no power in our garage, so I E-mailed Chris to see if he would come over to take a look. He E-mailed me back and told me to reset the GFI plug, which I did, and voila -- the power was back! We took care of this problem without a formal consultation. Based on his work ethic, I recommend him to anyone who has to Google what a GFI plug is.

I was in the market for a new stove and getting an all gas range was way cheaper than doing a dual fuel option (gas cook top and electric oven). Given the big price difference and being the cheap asian that I am, I went down the route of finding an electrician to change the plug from a 220v to a 120v and go with the all gas range. I called around and most people wouldn't give me an appointment to do such a small job, but luckily Chris did. Granted Chris was very busy, he took the time to come, take a look and give me an estimate for the work as well as changing a light switch that's been broken.

His price was very reasonable and I scheduled the work. Chris came right on time and I spent a good deal of time asking him about the work he was doing and about the neighborhood (he's a life long San Carlos native). He was very pleasant and answered any questions that I had and even helped to remove some excess wiring from outside the house for free. A real class act.

Chris is terrific. He always does an excellent job, be it a small or larger one. He is on time, always in a good mood and very effective.

Simply put: he is on my business good-guys list.

I had a great experience with Chris. He changed two light switches and a GFI outlet, and gave me advice on a couple other things. He's easy to communicate with, including email, he's prompt, very knowledgeable, has been doing electrical work for a long time in the Peninsula so he knows the houses around here, and he gives advice based on what's best for the homeowner. He's a pleasure to work with.
