Riskin Electric

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!

I had a great experience with Avi and his company. I hired Riskin Electric to install a EV level 2 charger at my home. Installation price quoted was very reasonable. The work and service was great. I highly recommend Avi and Riskin Electric for your residential electrical work.

Avi was so kind and helpful. His is very knowlegable and was patient and determined. He helped us with an urgent fix and I will always keep his number for future needs.

I got my old fluorescent light fixtures removed and replaced with energy saving recessed lights. I groom from home and the lighting in my workspace (aka my garage) was horrible. The house was built in the 50's and had outdated fluorescent fixtures in the garage that needed to be replaced. I was worried it would cost me an arm and a leg but luckily I was able to fine Riskin Electric and it was so affordable. He was quick to respond to my estimate request and was professional, clean, and courteous the whole time!
