Sparky's Electric
Company Overview
In San Francisco, knob and tube wiring is quite common. Unlike contemporary wiring techniques, which can pose challenges for electricians trained outside the area. Our experience in San Francisco spans over twenty years, handling these unique situations. Additionally, we’ve found methods to upgrade these beautiful Victorian and Edwardian homes because we are familiar with the materials, like lath and plaster, and the construction techniques used in their creation.
In 1999, we established Sparky's Electric. It started as a family-run business; my fiancé and I had a vision of starting a family. The appeal of being our own bosses was strong. Together, we managed both family and business responsibilities. After nurturing two sons and developing our business, we enjoy the support of our skilled team both in the field and in the office. Our focus remains on providing our customers with exceptional service, believing that this commitment guarantees we have work we can be proud of.

Recommended Customer Reviews

Aaron from Sparky's is great. He came here quickly, gave me a super reasonable quote and installed the next day. We are super happy with the service we received.
Will totally call him again.

I got great service from Aaron of Sparky's. He changed all the kitchen lighting fixtures in my condo at the Beacon. He recommended a good solution, and then he did the work on time and left the kitchen spotless. Plus he was friendly and polite.

Aaron is a liar and a cheat. He bid my job, got a $2000 deposit never pulled permits and didn't show up for work when he committed. He refused refund the deposit indicating that he was going through time financial. I told him I was happy to give him some but a year later, he avoids returning phone calls and I am having to take him to court to get a refund.

Sparky's Electric installed all the light fixtures, under cabinet lighting and new dimmer switches for my newly remodeled kitchen and dining room. They did a great job, knew what needed to be done, asked the right questions and gave me suggestions for fixtures and options that I may have not otherwise considered. This was a design/build so there were no drawings or architectural plans. Aaron, Chris and Jose did a wonderful job and I am very happy with the results!

I had Sparky's Electric wire and install lighting fixtures and switches plus some outlets in my home ; a fair amount work in my two bedrooms and kitchen . Well , I had nothing but problems with the lighting and switching these people did from day one . Lights would flicker and switches would make humming noise's . I went around and around with the owner on my problems with the installation they provided and nothing was resolved . I come to find out that the so called electricians that did the work are not certified electricians!! I verified this for myself online through the California Electricians web site.

Aaron at Sparky's is a low key friendly guy who gives excellent service with great prices. Aaron and his team Chris and Joe recently brought in a new electric main to our 100 year old three unit building and did extensive interior work on my flat. Electric was put inside the walls, outlets were added and in general the electric was brought up to date. It took months to complete because PG&E was so slow to do their inspections and work, but Sparky's was there time after time and moved the project along as quickly as the circumstance allowed. You can depend on Sparky's to do a good job at a fair price and to show up on time.
