Reliable, affordable, convenient. Best electrician interaction and outcome could have asked for.

Lex did a complete re-wiring of our 1905 home before we moved in in August 2011. It was a big job and Lex was great at making suggestions for improvements, yet still being mindful of our budget. He was great to work with and he was very creative and collaborative in finding solutions to some of the oddities that arose due to the age of house and the pre-existing wiring, outlets and access. Lex gave us a very good bid and was upfront with all the costs, unlike some of the other bids we received. Overall a very good experience.

I highly recommend Lex of Lex Electric, San Rafael, for any electrical needs for your home or business. Not only is he a nice person, but he does great work at a reasonable price. I had him do three different ""jobs"" in one day. After he completed the work we had a minor issue with a timer switch that he had installed. It turned out that the switch was defective when it came to the actual programming of the device, and Lex was great about searching out a different brand and returning in a timely fashion to install the replacement timer switch. All is now working! I will use Lex Electric for any future electrical projects.

Lex Anderson is a solid professional electrician. He promptly diagnosed our electrical problem and called PG & E to fix it. I would highly recommend him.

Lex was great. A city tree fell on my line and ripped the power line away from my house (and the panel). Lex found time in his schedule and fixed both the wire and the panel in one morning - and did it affordably. I am so happy with his work.

I wasn't sure if I could tackle a chandelier replacement on my own, but he answered my questions over the phone, and I was able to do the install. Then I wasn't sure about needing to replace the dimmer switch, so on a second phone call he walked me through what I would need, where to buy it and how to install it. GREAT SERVICE, even though he was giving free advice!

I called Lex with a problem that he was able to diagnose over the phone Turned out to be a simple fix, a tripped GFCI outlet. Thank you Lex!!!

We had a mystry electrical problem that we know would require an extraordinary electrician to solve. I am glad we looked into Yelp reviews and found Lex. He came at the exact appointed hour and, like a physician with good bed-side manners, he diagnosed logically, worked defly and pinpointed a broken wire behind the wall. He even gave us a senior discount, saying that he has aged parents and this is the way he wants them treated. How do you like that?

Lex is a nice guy. I'll admit, I'd rather not have him in my life, but there's a lot of others that fall into that category as well (think plumber, roofer, roto-rooter guy, PG&E).

Anyhow, Lex was in my life as, late last week in the course of an hour, I experienced one weird electrical phenomenon after another. First the lights in the kitchen go out., then the washer and dryer die, the bathroom outlet emits sparks, and finally, the garage light goes out. Holy moly!! That's a whole lot of electrical crazy!

Lex to the rescue. He's a good, low key guy who seems to know his stuff. His price seemed reasonable and, perhaps the biggest brownie point of all, he stopped on his way into my house to give my dog some lovin'. Sweet.

Lex coulldn't get to my house immediately, but called multiple times to keep me informed of when he expected to get there.

Thankfully, my problems were of a nature that didn't require Lex to do much more than just check everything out to make sure all was explainable and okay. If he'd needed to do anything more than that, I'm pretty sure that I'd have been giving him one more star. As it is, I hope that I don't see much more of Lex (nothing personal) but if I do need an electrician again or for anything more complicated, I'd call him in a flash.

I had a significant electrical problem in my house: lights dimming and brightening when various appliances were on or off. An electrical contractor, recommended by a reliable neighbor, came to the house and indicated that the problem required a thorough examination of the existing wiring and replacement of circuits to the kitchen that were overloaded. I waited several weeks for the work to begin, but he was always ""very busy,"" and I tired of waiting while the lights dimmed and brightened.

After reading Yelp reviews, I called Lex Electric.

Good thing I did. Lex came out a few days later. He verified the problems with the lights in my home, performed some diagnostic tests with my electric panel, and confirmed his initial impression that the problem was not with my electrical wiring, but with the PGE wiring to the house.
Lex clearly explained the nature of the problem to me, and as an aside, repaired the wobbly wood door covering the circuit board.
Sure enough, after he called PGE to describe the problem, PGE appeared and fixed the problem with external wiring.

Lex is friendly, courteous, trustworthy, and rather laid-back. Don't let his calm, informal style mislead you; he is a very competent electrician. He obviously saved me a great deal of money, time and hassle with his electrical skills. Imagine what would have happened if the electrician I first called had done the (unnecessary) work!!

Very highly recommended.
