SJN Electric
Company Overview
We are a family-owned business with three generations of experience in electrical installations and repairs. My grandfather founded Nielsen Electric in 1932 in Alameda, California, and it operated there until 2014. In 1999, I took the leap to start my own journey and have been committed to this field ever since. Becoming the third generation in our family business felt like a natural progression for me.

Recommended Customer Reviews

Sid is great!!! He is also a member of the Alameda Chamber of Commerce... I had a very very bad experience with Nielsen Electric in Alameda, two entirely different companies, If you like read my review about them.
But back to Sid...He came out a few minutes early :-) was very quick, knew exactly what he was doing and talking about. He did mention that some of the work would need a permit, I did appreciate him telling me that..His communication skills were an A+++ He texted me instead of calling and did as he promised a proposal the very next day sent to my email. Thank you Sid

Sid and his team are prompt, reliable, and knows is stuff. Without question and hesitation, we call him for our needs and refer him to others.

I hired Sid to install a dedicated circuit for my new hot tub. He worked with my budget and gave me a great deal since cost was a major concern for me. He was professional, nice, and responsive as always by text and phone. Will use him again for future electrical needs.

I want to personally thank Sid for lending a hand in helping me resolve a problem with my appliances.
I had just arrived back into town from vacation, and I had no power to any of my appliances. It turned out to be that my refrigerator was flipping the breaker off to my appliances.
With Sid, he helped me figure out the problem, in a professional, friendly, helpful way.
Sid's professional demeanor and positive attitude really put my nerves at ease in troubleshooting the issue. You can tell he really loves what he does, and it shows! I will be recommending Sid to everyone I know.

Sid was the nicest guy. We called him at 4:15 after the scheduled electrician never showed up. He was close by and arrived within 15 minutes and had the job done in 5. Would definitely call again! You should too.

I called Sid on a Saturday while he was with his family. He took the time to try to troubleshoot the problem with me on the phone. Since I couldn't figure out the problem, be said he would come over in the afternoon. He came by as he promised and fixed my circuit breaker. He was very efficient and clearly knew what he was doing. I highly recommend him. Thank you!

SJN Electric sent Sid. He was very professional over the phone and on time.
My entire garage electricity was out. He found the short and made sure that i had no other loose electrical outlets before he left.
He reminds me if that carpenter guy on the reality cable show. Anyhow. I will keep his name and reccomemd him to all my neighbors and family. And no i did not get paid to write this review. His price is very reasonable.

Sid is really good! He was able to quickly identify the source of the problem and fixed it right away. Even caught some other electrical issues we were unaware of. Very professional. I would definetly call SJiN again.

Sid was fabulous. He answered my call immediately. He talked me through the steps of a broken outlet replacement to save me the cost. However I was too nervous to handle the older live wires so he came the same day and made the repair in ten minutes. He charged a great price. I recommend him highly and will call again when the need arises. Thanks Sid!

Sid was at the top of his game. I live in San Diego and own rental property in San Leandro. When our tenant called because the main breaker to the house was tripping I did a yelp search and read reviews on various Electrical Service Companies. Impressed by the 21 very positive 5 star reviews, I called and got him immediately. He had a small job to complete and would be over directly, and he was. Living 6 hours away I depend on professional craftsmen when a tenant has problems and Sid did not disappoint.
Sid said he would evaluate the problem and call me. He did all the checks, found some loose connections in a sub panel, which had been contributing to flickering lights. He checked and tightened those. Found a doubled up breaker, which he corrected by adding another breaker and moving the circuit. All these things were found and corrected on the way to solving the main breaker issue.
After doing full load testing and reviewing the conditions on the day the breaker failed repeatedly, we consulted and decided to replace the main breaker. Upon removing the breaker he found the problem, a hot spot next to the wire terminal. An old breaker, aluminum wiring and repeated remodeling had finally caught up to us. New breaker in, strip and re-coat wires, back in business.
I would highly recommend SJN Electric and Sid. He was on time, went the extra mile to find all the possible problems not just the one I called him for, and did it all very quickly. He worked with my tenants and they were delighted that he explained things to them. Sid has a well stocked truck, saving time on parts. Best of all his rates are very reasonable. I will use him again and you should too.
