Greetings, my friends! I’m Edwin Sanchez, originally from Puerto Rico.
I moved to the South Bay in California in 2005.
My goal was to launch an electrical company that would serve my clients and support my family, giving my children a better future.
Since childhood in Puerto Rico, I have been engaged in electrical work, guided 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 focus on two key goals: helping my clients with their electrical needs and being a reliable provider for my beautiful family.
Call us for any electrical assistance you might need.

Recommended Customer Reviews

Called this morning and Clifford immediately came out to diagnose and fix an issue we were having where one of our bedrooms lost power. He implemented a quick fix and went to the store immediately to get parts for a permanent fix. I found fast handy electric on Yelp and am so glad I went with them due to the great reviews. We were able to get our issue resolved professionally and quickly. Clifford also walked us through all of the steps and options. Our puppy also loved him. Can't recommend this local business enough - they also have a 24/7 emergency service too and are insured and bonded!
Also appreciated that he called and texted and arrived within the time window we discussed. He also followed safe covid protocol and was very polite and brought shoe coverings.

I called a couple of top rated companies to quote a set of small tasks. The first said it'd be 5 or so weeks. Fast Handy said, ""sure, we'll get you taken care of"". I felt like I was most valuable customer right from the start. The same day I asked for the quote Kelley came by and did a walk through. Less than an hour later I had a quote in my inbox. I felt it was fair and competitive - especially since I wouldn't be waiting weeks for the work to begin. That is absolutely worth something to me as well. Within 36 hours of accepting the quote, they had one of their finest at my house in the morning to get started. He made sure to understand the intent of each task such that I was confident he could operate unattended. When questions (or suggestions) came up, he brought them to my attention. The work was done efficiently and professionally. Nothing but good things to say about each of the tasks completed - plus the whole job finished a bit faster than I thought it would.
There was a problem I discovered after the electrician left however. All of the power in my downstairs bathrooms was out! I knew it had to do with something that was worked on though those rooms weren't ones that had work done. Thirty minutes after contacting the company the owner himself, Edwin, was in the house troubleshooting. It didn't take long for him to find a loose wire cap in one of the new switch panels down the hall that was causing the problem. This also went far faster than I imagined it would. In addition Kelley followed up with phone calls to be sure things went well through the day.
These guys really care about each job and the quality of their work. They are serious about correcting any issues that arise - in a very timely manner. I definitely recommend them to myself for future work and anyone else that will listen.

I had a sub panel and main panel replaced at my home. They electricians arrived on time, cleaned up after themselves. They advised me of everything they were going to do. These guys are quick and efficient at what they do. I have and will recommend them to anyone I know that needs an electrician.

I am truly pleased with Fast Handy Electric, and they are true to their name. I called for assistance on Sunday evening, and Monday morning Edwin showed up, and solved the problem and had it fixed in 30 minutes. I put this company in a category of a business that you can rely on and that does great work. Added bonus, Edwin loves dogs and my dog Rosie gives her approval too.

If EVER you have electrical problems in your residence call Edwin Of Fast Handy and no one else!! Everyone talks the talk but his company delivers!
I had total blackout for a month and I called many a electricians who said work can be done but for me to get the permits and when I do, the work can be scheduled months away. NOT Edwin! He said ""I do this all the time"" and he arranged the permits and work to be done on replacing my crippled PG&E smart meter within days!!!
Edwin and his crew ( and even the VP of the company) came out and took care of business and had us up and running!!
Go no where else for your electrical needs....Edwin and his crew walk the walk!!

Great experience with this company today. They were able to do a same day visit - with fair pricing. Gabe was helpful, knowledgeable, tidy and friendly. He took the time to explain what he was doing and didn't rush through the job just to hurry up and get it done. I will definitely be a returning customer. Thank you again, Gabe!!!

Needed minor work done on our electrical panel. These guys were fast and followed Covid protocol. Guy was wearing a mask and was very careful, clean and considerate. Did a quick and efficient job. We would definitely use these folks again. Very happy to find businesses like this that you can rely on who do good work.

Even though it was the first day of his vacation, Kelley came out to replace my porch light fixture and check another outdoor light fixture to make sure it was safe. He wore a face mask, was extremely courteous and pleasant, and very professional. I wanted a certified electrician for peace-of-mind, to make sure the job was done right, with no concerns about safety. I highly recommend ""Fast Handy Electric"" for doing your electrical work, for home or business.

Man I had a great experience with these guys today! These guys are NOT money hungry people. They provide great service at a reasonable price. I live in San Jose in a condominium, my wife and I moved in about 8 months ago still getting familiar with the place. We had an issue with the doorbell box inside, down the hallway where it was making a loud sound all of the sudden today for hours and it never made that sound before!
I typed in electrician in Yelp and saw these guys were 5 star and quick, so I gave them a call. Luckily the GM Kelly answered the phone and helped me out. Instead of charging a couple hundred dollars and sending someone out for no reason, he decided to save me time and money and help me over the phone for FREE!
He could have easily handled this different. Instead he gave me his personal number where I sent him a video of what was going on, he viewed the video and quickly diagnosed. He instructed me what to do over the phone simply and easy within a couple minutes the problem was solved! Free of charge, very professional, and its clear their goal is to help people and help people fast. Of course for a bigger job or something that cant be done easily they'll do the course like any normal company would, but what I really appreciated was they did not try to milk me for cash instead they were practical and legitimately wanted to help me, and at least tried over the phone and it was successful!
If I ever have any needs in the future I'm calling these guys, they are definitely the Good Fellas.

Fast Handy Electric is the real deal. We had a serious troubleshooting problem with some wiring that was not up to code. Half of our kitchen was out. All lights, appliances, and outlets. We had two different electricians come out and could not figure out the problem! Leave it to the team at Fast Handy... Edwin (the owner) came by and found and fixed the problem within an hour and half. He fixed the problem with extreme attention to detail and care. Fast Handy cares about doing your electrical work properly without cutting corners.
