Rick Brown Electrical Contractor

Andria B.

Rick was called in by my contractor during a septic tank to sewer conversion. The utilities under the street necessitated a pump system being installed. Rick installed the electrical system to support it. He was professional, skilled and his fees were reasonable. His helper was equally skilled and still building on her knowledge. I had him come back to correct the electrical wiring from my house to a dog kennel building and prep it for a heating/air conditioning unit I planned on installing. The unit was later installed and works perfectly. I had him check out some lighting and other electrical systems in my home that I was concerned about. He assured me on safety issues and gave me several options for future improvements. There was no pressure to have any additional work done. I would not hesitate to hire him again.

Rick Brown and his assistant Tyler are amazing! He upgraded all the old knob and tube wiring in my basement quickly and efficiently. He was always on time, kept me informed of his schedule and spent lots of time explaining what needed to be done. The existing wiring was funky and he made great suggestions on how best to deal with all the issues safely while at the same time keeping costs in mind. He and Tyler are a pleasure to work with - friendly, knowledgeable, professional and respectful of our home and time. I can't say enough good things about him and recommend him 100%.

Rick is the best electrician I have ever worked with. He installed all of our outdoor lighting and has upgraded our electrical panel. He is capable of managing a large electrical project in a timely manner and always responds to texts/calls/emails in a timely manner. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for high quality electrical work.

For the better part of a year, the outlet powering my media center was cutting out randomly. I had to stop using it, and it was too small a job for most electricians to bother with, or they wanted to charge over $400 to take a look and fix it.

Rick, on the other hand, was willing to for me in between larger jobs, and charge just the base fee to diagnose and fix the issue.

He arranged a convenient time to come over, diagnosed the problem quickly, fixed it, and probably prevented my house from burning to the ground in the process. Also adjusted the location of the outlet that hadn't been working, and threw in a new outlet to replace one that was loose for no charge.

Best service with a smile I've had in San Francisco.

Rick was very prompt and helpful. His pricing was competitive - I checked with a few different electricians in the neighborhood, and he was one of the most knowledgeable. No charge for an estimate. We will strongly consider Rick for our next job.

Rick was a pleasure to work with: punctual, uncomplicated and friendly. He gave us good suggestions for the work we were proposing (changing an external light switch) and made the project easier than it would have been with other electrical services.

We had several problematic lighting issues both inside and outside our home. The electrical issues inside our home were particularly challenging. Several other electricians tried to help us but Rick was the only one that was able to find a solution. And happily I might add. Not only is he knowledgable and experienced he seems to love his work. He's personable, reliable and communicative. I highly recommend Rick - he is our go to!

Rick's been our go to guy for electrical work for several years. Easy to work with, thorough and reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Rick was simply awesome. After the units in our building each lost 50% of their power, we called PG&E, who told us that: a) an electrical cable was likely the culprit, and b) that said cables were buried underground, and therefore the responsibility of the building's owner to fix. They also indicated it was urgent that an electrician come and fix them.....cue Rick. He showed up after dinner and a long day on a different building job, with a great attitude and willingness to figure out what was going on. After some extensive testing and walking around the property (something the PG&E tech didn't do) he concluded that PG&E was INCORRECT in their assessment of the situation. The PG&E tech had claimed that our electrical cables were buried, an assumption based on looking at the other standalone buildings on our property (which indeed are buried underground). However, Rick noticed that there was cable coming from the street to our building, and after some extensive testing, was pretty sure the issue was at the street with this cable. He had me call PG&E, and hung out while I waited on hold for 25 minutes. He spoke to the original rep and had him come back out. Upon arriving, Rick pointed out the situation and the PG&E technician immediately acknowledged the error of assuming our building's cables were underground (hard not to when there's a cable coming in from the street right above your head). The tech got up on the truck, went up to the cables on the street, and immediately found the faulty connector and made the repair, within five minutes. Were it not for Rick's excellent troubleshooting skills and proactive recommendation to have the tech out to review the issue, we would have been without power through the night and into the morning. His great sense of customer service and deep expertise saved the day. Hard to find people like that these days. The next time we have any electrical issues, I'll be calling Rick on speed dial.
