Tim's Electric City SF

Ashley B.

Tim is a first class expert. I've hired and fired a lot of contractors. Considering the consequences of bad electrical work, you want to make sure the person you have working on your power grid has the knowledge and skills to spot potential problems and avoid costly errors. He has done some tremendous jobs including entire comercial buildings yet he is just as diligent with the small stuff.

He is always the first person I call to get a straight answer on an electrical issue. He knows what he is doing, he fulfills on his promises, and really cares about making sure the job is done right. Obviously I would recommend him wholeheartedly.

i didn't even know how good it could be - who knew a dimmer in my dining room could add such Ambiance?
who knew a light in that closet where i attempted (in the dark) to store my DVDs could (well, really) be useful if i could actually SEE?
Tim and Neil, (et al) - are wonderful: suggestions, reasonable pricing, follow thru - all good.

i just wanted to add that they also go by ""Electric City SF""
as in:
tim@electriccitysf.com

i have had them re-route ports for my computer, fix / replace my ceiling fan / light, put several lights in closets and do some safety stuff - all at really reasonable prices.
HIGHLY recommended.
cheers!

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.
