Recommended Customer Reviews

Had an urgent need to install an outlet outside. Schafer sent Jimmy over within a couple of hours. Great guy. Great responsiveness. Great job. Tom M.

Showed up one half hour ahead of schedule and had the problem identified and fixed within an hour. Thanks Dennis

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)

Ben Schafer and Tim added an electrical circuit for us today so we could accommodate our new motorized shade. They were great to with and highly efficient. And all my questions about what they were doing didn't bother them one bit. They were totally professional. I highly recommend Schafer Electric and would definitely call again for future electrical needs.

These guys were out here the morning after I called. Very happy about that. And they did a very professional job. I needed full power in my garage to operate my new motorized overhead doors.
I would call Schafer again for electrical needs.
Very satisfied.

They did a great job at a fair price, were great people to deal with and made sure that we were satisfied with the job. Will absolutely call them again whenever we need electrical work done.
