Momentum Electrical Contractors

Responded on a Sunday within an hour and scheduled for next morning. Enrique was timely, diagnosed a messy 3-4 way switch wiring quickly and got my wall scones powered up and running. He even installed a Hue Light fixture in my office upon request. Excellent service. Solid value.

In a search of a best contractor from the Yelp SF, I requested an estimate for my electrical service panel upgrade project. Momentum Electrical Contractor was the best contractor which provided a competitive price, a well written estimate which completely satisfies all my requirements and specifications with an easy to understand description.

Momentum's price is very competitive. I select other contractor because one of items in my project includes a hybrid water heater installation (plumbing), which is not offered by Momentum.

David Key, the Process Manager, is responsive, friendly, and pays a gold attention to our communication.

Overall, I wholly recommend Momentum Electrical Contractor for your electrical project.

Luis was very efficient, and not only helped me understand the problem, but he solved it!

I was able to schedule an appointment quickly and easily by phone, and had such amazing and thoughtful service. I will for sure call Momentum again for any electrical needs.

I am super impressed with this Momentum especially with the technician, Luis. My elderly parent's fan wires popped and there was a burning smell. Momentum responded to my request within 24 hours and sent Luis to the home urgently. He was patient with all of their questions, explaining in detail what is needed to be safe moving forward. He completed the job within 2 hours and followed up immediately with me outlining all details including recommendations to avoid any further issues. I will definitely be using this company moving forward! Thanks so much!

Momentum did a wonderful job! We had two EV chargers installed for two separate apartments, located 80 feet from the meters, and each connected to a different meter (three if you include the extra outlet we added). Every vendor had a different take on the project, but Momentum delivered exactly what we needed, which was somewhat unique. Our project manager, Matt, was very responsive, and the on-site technician, Donis, was fantastic. They went above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied with both the installation and the overall experience. I would happily work with them again and highly recommend them!

I have a small-medium sized project to add primarily low voltage wiring to the bedrooms in our house (ethernet/fiber/speaker wire/blind power/control) and swap out 135 light fixtures with new ones.

I spent a few months working with Matthew and Thomas in the end and I had a really poor experience that I'd like to share here so I can save folks like me time in the future.

I couldn't help but feel the job was outside of their scope and abilities so I asked a few times but was assured it was within their capabilities.

In the end, I received the most unreasonable quote I've received in my life for any type of work/purchase. I spent some time trying to understand the quote, but the pricing at Momentum is non transparent and the owner/project managers are unable to communicate with their customers.

The bid came in at: $353,869. I've attached photos of it in the review for transparency.

I've had it quoted by others and the actual job cost is expected to be in the 125k range.

I spent a few weeks specifically on the quote to replace the 135 light fixtures. A seperate drywaller was going to remove all of the ceilings in the house and replace them after the work was done. The fixtures are being replaced one for one and the wiring is all in place already. The quote for 135 fixtures from momentum was $86,581.41 or $641 per fixture. Their quoted rate is $140 an hour which works out to 5 hours per fixture. I've since had the same work quoted by others and all have quoted 1 hour per fixture or $140. On this particular item, their quote is 4.5x the industry normal.

I spent time on the phone with Tom, the owner, and he expliained that he has a policy with the folks doing his quotes that if he ever loses money, he'll fire them because in the past he has had some jobs where he lost money. This was the explanation he gave me for the quote, on the call which was an escallation to discuss the quote, it was clear he hadn't even looked at it. Matthews explanation was given the finishes in my house, this is how much it would cost. I reminded him the ceiling would be removed with full access to all of the fixtures and the finishing would be done by someone else. I never got a response so I took my business elsewhere.

When you look at the quote, make note of this comment:
""- Bid assumes all work areas are open and accessible; done by others. ""
- Access to door/window/frames/casings/decking done by others.

All of the challenging work was to be done by others. Also note this at the end of the quote:
""Trash removal, dumpster, and debris container fees.""

For $353,000, they don't clean up after themselves.

I don't understand all of the positive reivews of this company which were ultimately what lead me to reach out to them to consider the job.

Electrical work in attic. A very good company to work with, scheduling easy, electrician and office kept me informed as to arrival, estimate of time needed and costs accurate and reasonable. An excellent company and if I need electrical work again, they would be my first call

Mary W.

Super efficient and reliable in fixing our hardwired smoke alarms. I would definitely hire them again.

Thomas (owner) brought a team to our large industrial building and connected us with the right person to move ahead with our project.

Tom and his team were excellent. Matthew was professional, personable, and knowledgeable. They identified code violations from a previous company's work and provided clear options for repairs. Communication, timeliness, and friendliness were exceptional. Highly recommend Momentum!
