Riskin Electric

Avi is an excellent electrician delivers high-quality work. But he goes above and beyond for his clients.

I was particularly impressed by his willingness to help me with tasks outside of his typical electrical work. He generously helped me move heavy items, offered valuable advice on my bathroom renovation, and even helped me with some minor repairs without charging a dime.

Avi's kindness and genuine desire to help make him a rare find in the Bay Area. I highly recommend him without hesitation.

Excellence! It looks like Avi, the owner is deeply philosophical about the job. There is something truly ancient about this spirit of overqualifying everything that goes into installing these panels or the simple outlet, up to such a seemingly meaningless detail as a position of a screw on the outlet cover. He actually puzzled me with his overqualifications and I still wonder why such craftsmanship is so reasonably priced, but maybe this also is part of his inner deal, who knows. I wish the guy be a bit less serious, though, at least after work. Overall, this is very solid five star. Something tells me the whole house will stand on the merit and quality of his work. It's a rare deal.

We worked with Avi for several months during a large remodel, and we couldn't be happier with his work. He handled a wide range of tasks, including updating the electrical system, fixing a mess left by another contractor, installing fixtures and switches throughout the house, and tackling the biggest project: upgrading our electrical panel. His meticulous work earned us our green tag, as everything he did was in full compliance with the building electrical code.

Avi and is incredibly responsible, respectful, communicative, and a pleasure to work with. He's friendly, reliable, and truly goes above and beyond to ensure the job is done right. We have no hesitation in recommending him and will definitely work with him again in the future!

We were extremely fortunate to have stumbled onto Avi to take on a recessed lighting project for our home when just surfing Yelp. We also had about 15+ outlets (6 of which were GFCI additions), and 10+ switches as part of our project. As many know, it's tough to find the right person for the project (big or small) - we met with over 5 other individuals/companies and Avi came off the most impressive with his attention to detail and his price point. So glad we went with Avi as we now feel we have our go-to electrician - I would not want my family working with anyone else.

When needing to make cutouts in our ceiling (for the recessed lights) and our walls (for wiring through additional outlets), Avi took extreme care in covering almost every surface with disposable covering to ensure no dust or drywall fragments got on any of our furniture/valuables. After working in each area, he meticulously cleaned the space so that we could return to using that part of the home while he rotated over to working on other parts of our house. He left no trash or debris behind and took all of it with him without asking (though we totally would've been ok with him dumping everything in our garbage can).

As for the work itself...everything was done very well. We have had friends, who are general contractors, come by the house and complement how well done the job was. The recessed lights were measured several times for appropriate spacing, and he consulted us twice to confirm their positioning. We knew we found the right guy when he was patching a wall and told us he was not satisfied with the texture not being a 100% match, but to us, it was a very satisfactory 99% match - he was adamant about coming back to re-do it but we really didn't want him to spend the time on it (and we really could not tell the difference because the match was already THAT close). Avi also spent several hours in our garage bending conduits to add outlets throughout the space and ensured each conduit was shaped in a way so as not to interfere with all the tools/devices we have in the garage.

We cannot highly recommend Avi enough for any of your home projects whether they are big or small. One of the kindest individuals I have met who is extremely thoughtful and considerate in everything he does.

I hired Avi for an electrical panel upgrade, installing a 220V outlet and replacing several outlets in the house. Not only was he professional and efficient, but his pricing was also very fair and transparent. He explained the costs upfront, and I felt the quality of work was excellent for the price. Would definitely call Avi for any future electrical work needs.

Work completed: Tesla wall charger installation.

Avi was terrific in every way: responsive, honest, reliable, professional, and an expert-level electrical and craftsmanship work. All at a very reasonable price. I've already recommended him to several friends.

Avi helped us upgrade the panel for our new house to 200 (and get everything else up to code). He was punctual, good communicator and had a better offer than the other four electrical companies that we had come assess our Pacifica house. He was able to complete the work in two days and made sure we got permit from the city and final work completed by PG&E. I would recommend Avi to all my friends and family without reservation. He even switched the direction of our gate to get up to code!

Avie did a great job installing recessed lights! He took his time and worked with us to make sure the light placement made sense in the room. He patched up the original light fixtures and touched up the paint. The room looks brighter and more modern.

We called Avi at 8:30am on a Sunday and he was at our place by 10am. He fixed a breaker in two minutes and did not charge us anything. Avi is honest and quick. We will be calling him for all electrical needs going forward.

We had Avi upgrade our main electrical panel and sub panel, install a level 2 EV charger, and install a Nest doorbell. He was very professional and responsive. We really appreciated that he communicated what he was going to do before he started the work each visit and that he was thorough. Would highly recommend to friends and neighbors!
