Tim's Electric City SF

Jenn H.

I needed two houses' worth of doorbells and door releases fixed and found Tim by Yelp'ing. Thanks, reviewers. He was very attentive and patient over the phone. He sent Neil out, who is equally patient and kind. It's been a great experience all around. They were even willing to work with our landlord's budget. Thanks Tim and Neil!

Today's President's Day and Tim was kind of enough to call us back promptly regarding our circuit issues in the kitchen. Since we're electrically challenged, he walked us through a potential resolution over the phone and checking the GFI reset buttons on the power outlets which appeared to do the trick. Tim was very kind and helpful and we will absolutely use him again for any future issues!

I never met Tim, but did a lot of work with his partner Neil in fixing some electrical problems in my new place. Neil was great -- kind, thorough, empathetic, tidy, interesting, easy to have around. I'd call him again without hesitation.

So I called Tim and he sounded very nice on the phone. He told me that his partner would call me for an appointment. That took 2 days and then the partner wasn't sure when he can come so he was going to give me another call! I never received that call! Tired of these people, I called Brett Bryant from lights out. Brett did several works for me and my experience with him was wonderful. I am writing a separate review for Brett.

Tim is great. He showed up on time, explained the options for re-wiring the floor outlets in my house, and was fair on his prices, especially for the amount of work that his assistant and he performed. He also fixed my doorbell to boot. He may not be the cheapest electrician but I am confident the work that he performed is top notch, which is of course crucial for electrical work.

Electricity is dangerous. Very dangerous. Screw around and touch the wrong wire and your ass will be toast. Lucky for us there's Tim and his gang. Quality work done quickly at reasonable prices, and they don't talk to you like you're an idiot, which is a really nice touch.

So if your electrical problems go beyond changing a light bulb (although if you ask they'll do that for you too, no problem), then call Tim and save yourself a trip to the emergency room.

Tim was a good guy to work with though sometimes we lacked to ask the right questions and he lacked in informing us there was a question. Overall the experience was good and now we have a new washer, dryer and electrical panels!

Tim is really reliable and that's the most important thing to me. I had him replace some light fixtures and add some pendants over a counter. He did a great job -- knew exactly where to place the pendants so that they looked right. I recommend him.

I found Tim on Yelp. I called 2 other top rated electricians, but one called me back several hours later and the other didnt return my call until the following day.

Tim answered my call promptly and he was able to come to my house the following day to move a pendant light in my kitchen. His work was clean, so I asked him to add an electrical socket in my side yard as well as a light, which he was able to do on the same day.

Moving the pendant light in my kitchen, left a large hole in my ceiling where the light originally was. Tim offered an option of covering the hole with a plastic caps since he doesnt do drywall patching. I didnt like the cap idea but felt ambitious to do it myself after watching many hours of DIY. Tim gave me great tips on how to watch the hole and showed me how to use his electric saw to cut out a piece of wood to support my drywall patch.

I will definitely use Tim again for future electrical work at my house.

I found Tim from Yelp. My job was to install new overhead lights, new undercabinet lights, move around some appliances(i.e. microwave and oven), and then make sure everything was to code.

The work was done and approved by city but I think the main thing about Tim that I really appreciate is the fact that he follows through. He let's me know when he will show up, is on time, and does a great job. For someone that has to work, I can't be waiting 2-4 hours for someone to maybe show up.

Also, he is just a really pleasant person to work with. Will be hiring him for other jobs and referring him to my Home Owners Association if we need other work done.

If you need electric work done, call Tim.
