Schafer Electric Services

Thomas E.

We have used Schafer Electric on occasions of both the installation and maintenance of heavy equipment at Duggan's Mission Chapel Funeral Home in Sonoma, CA. In particular, we have had the opportunity to meet and work with Charlie, an electrician with many years of experience. He did all of our wiring, and even made sure all lighting around our equipment was strategically placed. In an emergency situation a few weeks ago, I called and Charlie showed up quickly to remedy a problem we were having--after normal business hours no less, bending over backwards to help when clearly, we would not have been able to function as a mortuary without the specialized help he gave us. He also carries a pleasant disposition and ready to help with whatever you need. As a whole, we rely on Schafer Electric and they are our first choice to keep us operating as normal. Specifically, Charlie is our choice!

My tenant accidentally broke the electric power box completely off the side of the house he lives in, power gone, live/hot box... what should I do??? On the corner of the broken box was the sticker for Schafer Electric 707-545-3300, they installed the box +12 years ago for me. I called them up on a Saturday afternoon, left message that I needed some help immediately!!! Ben Schafer/owner called me back & remembered the job he did years ago & agreed to come out survey problem & fix it ASAP. He set up PGE to come out cut off the line, & completely replaced, the box by Tuesday & power restored Wed. PGE hooked it up again. Everything is back to normal thanks to Schafer Electric. Come to find out that during the last 12 years his business has taken off & now does work in Marin, Sonoma & Napa counties now! What a blessing having his business sticker on the corner of the box. My problem became his problem ~ I like that as a customer, having someone that knows his business in every way. I recommend calling him up for any electrical problem BIG or small, NEW or old...
Thanks ~ Schafer Electric 707-545-3300

They are my go to!! I have worked with many electricians being in the property management business for almost 20 years.
I have used them over a half dozen times in Sonoma.The office answers the phone every time and they always are always able to schedule quickly. Their work is thorough, tidy and professional. Great follow up and all the staff are very friendly and professional. I would highly recommend.

I only wish I could leave half a star ( as this place isn't even worthy of one star!)
I called this company having seen one of their vans driving around. Called them to schedule a very simple electrical at my home in Santa Rosa, and yes it's roughly an hours distance from where they are located but still?! $600 and the guy was there under an hours time!
I call that a rip off! Do yourself ( and your check book) a favor and skip these people who overbill very simple projects. I call that a Con game! Guess next time I'll research future businesses on the internet ( like Yelp) before being taken again! Do your research fellow Yelpers.

Right off the bat, take those one stars and take them to the bizank. That's rubbish. You are definately in the right spot if you want quality service by a company that cares.

My Mama phoned the other day irate that her power wasn't on. Being I am the power god, she calls me first. Moms is getting a bit up there and she doesn't realize I don't control everything technical. I went into action and googled Sonoma electricians. Well, that's actually a lie, I tried Fitzpatrick first cuz I went to school with Bernie. Cool cat. Anyhow, no answer there and I tried another one and no answer and I am really glad. I called Schafer and told the lady what was up and she said she couldn't have anyone out tonight cuz they went home but the next day at 1. Cool enough, very nice lady. Not more than 2 mins later my phone rings and its them. I answer and she says that someone will be there at 11. Que? That was awfully nice of her to do. Turns out the park was having some issues with power but I wanted them to go out anyhow. Moms lives in an old mobile home and just having a professional, and I stress that word, professional, go out and peep it out. I get a call just before noon and its the owner. He tells me he is there and my Mom already had someone come out and all this but he offered to check it out anyway, telling me my Moms is a Sweetheart. Que? Glad she is nice to you. Guy tells me that the bottom breaker is bad and he has to get one but it wont be til tomorrow but he is only gonna charge us for 1 visit instead of two. Que? Who does that anymore. Who takes one for the elderly. I know who! Schafer. If i get them out there one more time for some reason, they might earn a spot on my Mount Rushmore. Folks it gets no better than Schafer.

Had Schafer Electric give us a quote for replacing electric panel from 100 to 200 amp panel. Ben's was on top of all aspect of the job- We have been having problem with breakers tripping. The crew of Jimmy, Ryan, Ian, AJ and Dennis came out on time and did a great job for us. They were professional and cleaned up after they finished job. Highly recommend Schafer electric for electrical needs. Thank again, Ben and crew! Kristina and Steve (Glen Ellen)
