Hi there! I’m Edwin Sanchez, and I come from Puerto Rico.
I moved to the South Bay in California in 2005.
My ambition was to establish an electrical company to assist my clients and support my family, ensuring a bright future for my children.
I started working in the electrical field as a young boy in Puerto Rico, influenced by my father.
Thanks to my father's encouragement, I ventured into the electrical trades, and now, after two decades, I proudly own Fast Handy Electric, Inc. in the South Bay Area.
I have two main objectives: to assist my clients with all their electrical needs and to be a good provider for my wonderful family.
Call us for any electrical assistance you might need.

Recommended Customer Reviews

I got respond from this service in just 30 min, even it was on Sunday. They found a way to squeeze my order on Monday. The job was done in 30-40 mins. I like everything, except it is over priced for a small job.

Work was handled by a different electrician but Handy reached to find out why we went with other business. He was well mannered and wanted to improve his customer service; A wise choice. I explained it all came down to money during Covid income is limited, he understood.

we had a follow up issue, I thought it was related to the original issue that Edwin had fixed the week before but wasn't able to address the first time because my daughter was napping in that room. it turned out it was a seperate issue but Edwin came out free of charge, on a Saturday, to check it out. he fixed it quickly and was on his way. He also does everything with a smile and great attitude. Great guy I highly recommend.

We needed additional electrical outlets in our older Santa Clara home... We put this project off for years - even with breakers tripping, RV electrical meltdowns, running on too many extension cords and power strips - what an unsafe mess!
Finally we called around for quotes and selected Fast Handy Electric based on their customer service, time to deliver and a very good price. We were not disappointed...
Kelley, Edwin and Armando (the Guys) came to our rescue...
Our RV now has a dedicated 30 amp outlet, the yard now has an outlet for leaf blower, etc... The appliances in the outdoor kitchen can all be used at the same time and will never again trip the breaker - not to mention our inside kitchen now has additional outlets for safety and on both sides of the room! We also have a new nifty garbage disposal button right on the sink that uses air to start incinerating - didn't even know that existed!
Additional power added to the living room for all of the TV associated gizmos, and safety GFIs in all bathrooms and kitchens. All of this was installed in less than 12 hours over 2 days.
The Guys are knowledgeable in their trades; fast and thorough; clean; polite and also fix related items that are broken, like the dishwasher air gap.
I know we're now the only older Santa Clara home owners that suffer from aged electrical issues. If you're still putting up with the same frustrations we were - it's time to call Fast Electric. If not, we have plenty of unused and unneeded extension cords and power strips if anyone needs one.

Lots of good reasons for a 5 star review - prompt communication, honest billing - he actually billed less than his quote when he realized the work was less than he quoted, showed up on time and did the work quickly and delivered high quality work. Will definitely be a repeat customer.

Exactly as the name says: Fast and Handy!
The electricity stopped working in the morning of a desperately hot holiday weekend.
We Found this fellow in Yelp, sent a message and included our phone number to shorten the time for communicating our problem.
The guy who arrived a few hours later (a Saturday on a long weekend) was smart, experienced and very quickly determined that a faulty-wired safety socket in the bathroom was closing down everything down the continued line.
Btw A socket like that is not supposed to have any other connections down the line! It's been like that for 22 years!
Anyway once he expertly diagnosed the issue, he took care of it all. Absolutely awesome and we are so grateful he had time for us.
What a pro!!

Wow! Probably the best experience with a service professional EVER! My husband and I were watching tv on a Saturday and smelled a burning electrical smell. And sure enough one of our outlets was melting! Pretty scary to think of what could have happened if left unaddressed! We found Fast Handy Electric through Yelp and they answered our call while out at another job. Within an hour they showed up and fixed the problem. Completely reasonable rates especially considered it's a holiday weekend. Not only did they fix the problem, they were super knowledgeable on why it happened and what other things to potentially look into. The owner on his way out spotted a few other little things and was fixing things that we didn't even ask to be fixed. We will absolutely use them again and spread the word!!! Thank you so much!

Huge rip-off. Avoid. Shop around. When I described the problem at home (few outlets not getting power), I was quoted $300 for the price to check and fix what was called a ""complex"" problem. The tech came on time. He checked the outlets did not have any power. And then after looking at the trip panel, the solution was to simply the GFI outlets. In all, 30-35 mins and fixed my ""complex"" problem for $300 --- when I asked after work for how much do I owe, the tech (without any self consciousness) says we agreed for $300 with a straight face. I honored the agreement without haggling (and the tech's ""oh, that was easy"" comments). Strongly recommend against their service -- only for the rip-off prices.

Did not end up using due to available scheduling, but appreciate the super fast response to try and figure out the job scope and getting a quote back in a very timely manner.

I gave Edwin a call regarding some questions about portable generators in case of an emergency and he was extremely friendly, personable, and helpful over the phone. He was willing to chat with me and answer all my questions, while being direct, open and honest - everything you're looking for when dealing with someone for these types of jobs. I'll be coming back to Edwin for anything if I need him and will absolutely recommend him to friends and family who may be looking for some help in the San Jose area.
