Recommended Customer Reviews

After getting quotes from half a dozen electricians, I decided to hire Chris. I am really glad I did. Chris installed a NEMA 14-50 outlet for me and so I could charge my Tesla. He is professional, on time, knowledgeable and honest. Pricing was very reasonable. I will definitely hire him again in the future and I highly recommend.

Thank you, Chris Hamilton and Chris Hanley. I wanted to provide much appreciation for the excellent service that you both provided Thursday and Friday of last week. Your respect, humility, and value came through as a commitment to attention to detail, excellent communication skills, guidance, and positive attitudes. I won't hesitate to inform my current community homeowners to utilize your services. Thank you, Soto, for your professionalism and for immediately scheduling Chris & Chris to assist in my home emergency.
Best,

Our main panel was damaged by poor connection with PG&E meter. Within 2 days SY got us city permit, fixed the panel and worked with PG&E to get the service restored; beyond that, they provided documentation to support the claim for PG&E to cover the cost of the repair (which they did). They are not only knowledgable and very professional but also have been working in the area for decades which gives them knowledge on how to navigate the system.
We've also called them for small jobs that most companies shrug upon and SY has been just as diligent and professional, it doesn't matter how big the bill is going to be they show up and do excellent work every time.

I have had the pleasure of doing business with Sy Electric Inc on 2 separate occasions. I can't say enough positive things about this company and I have recommended them to many of my friends. If you need electrical work done....call them.....anything worth doing is worth doing right and they do the work right.

I was very happy with the service of this company. They were on time, very neat, and easy to work with. They installed outdoor fixtures for me and also solved my electrical needs with a Lutron system and took the time to thoroughly explain it to me. There prices were very competitive and fair.

I had a great experience with SY Electric. I found the staff to be knowledgeable, friendly, honest, and hard working. They performed a few trouble shooting projects in my house and they did a great job. They earned my trust and i will use them again in the future.

My company referred me to these guys and they are definitely worth a call! Very polite and professional.

Soto of S.Y Electric responded to my lack of electricity in a Saturday. He quickly gathered his crew (They were all very nice and polite) and installed a new elect

We had a new meter electrical panel installed by S.Y and they did a grate job. The electrical inspector was impressed.
We had multiple quotes and S,Y was much lower than any of the others, In fact about $1000.00 less than Mr. Sparky!
We will use S.Y for all are electrical upgrades.
