Quick to Respond. Bill replaced/installed 4 new garage lights and replaced a dangerous outdoor conduit with the right type. He communicated and explained everything well. He was very efficient and fast. Good quality and reasonable price. His other suggestions on a malfunctioning outlet worked. Highly recommend electrician Bill. read more

Can't recommend Bill enough. We had a laundry list of electrical issues come up during our home inspection, and Bill came in and handled everything quickly, thoroughly, and professionally. What really stood out was how clearly he explained what he was doing along the way. We have an older house, and Bill was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to walk me through the issues so I understood what needed to be fixed and why. He worked efficiently, did high-quality work, and was very fairly priced. Finding someone who is this skilled, honest, and easy to work with is rare. Highly recommend Bill for any electrical work. read more

Bill has done a number of electrical upgrades for me. He is a dream to work with and he always passes inspection ! I highly recommend Beyonergy Electric! read more

Bill did a great job replacing our older switches and adding GFCIs to get our place up to code. He was friendly, honest, and punctual, and I would recommend him to anyone needing big or small electrical work. read more

Bill has been my electrician of choice for many years. I've hired him for jobs that are probably considered small - moving/adding light switches or outlets, replacing bathroom fan, installing code-compliant fire alarm. Most recently Bill replaced five ceiling light fixtures to modernize the look of my condo. Bill responds quickly to email; sends a quote via email; shows up promptly at the appointed time. He respects my need for tidiness! All this, and Bill is personable, too. No need to spend time searching for other professional electricians - hire Bill! read more

Bill did a great job helping us with the electrical for our kitchen remodel. He was punctual, professional, and worked well with with my contractor. I highly recommend! read more

Bill is easy to work, with quite the problem solver. This job we needed a ceiling room fan replaced... a bit in hurry I might add. I called and within the hour he responded, I explained what I needed he said give me an hour to get there. He was punctual. Job was completed. I asked for an estimate for a future work... the estimate was very fair. I will use his services again in the future. T. A. Alameda read more

We've worked with Bill multiple times (installing a ceiling fan, updating a 240 outlet, etc) and he has always been very professional and knowledgeable. He's also very honest and won't try to upswell work that's not needed, they said, he will give suggestions on areas that could be improved in the future but not pushing for them if not really needed. He helped us last time to update a 240 dryer outlet to be used by an EV, he did it quickly and cleanly! He's also very responsive and willing to go above and beyond to provide a good service. Thank you, Bill! read more

Bill is the kinda of guy that you guys wish more people were like. Humble, honest, and all around good guy. Can't recommend him enough

Great experience again with Bill. I had another project with recessed lighting in my home. Bill came and gave me a fair estimate and explained everything he was about to do (long story short - I have a complicated home, and it wasn't going to be daisies and roses. He would have to open up lots of walls and ceilings). He even pushed back on my project a bit and challenged whether it was worth the cost. I appreciated that feedback from him. Bill made the best of my difficult room situation and did a professional job. Midway through we discovered the ceilings were going to be trickier than we expected, and he explained why I now had extra holes in the ceilings due to discovering new ducts and pipes up above. I'm a reasonable guy and just attribute that to the discovery process of owning an old home. Now normally hiccups like this would push the project timeline and budget out a bit more, but Bill just came back the next day and completed the job, no fuss, and at the same price. Hire Beyonergy if you want an electrician who's efficient, honest and a straight shooter. read more

I cannot more highly recommend Bill (Beyonergy) for work he recently did on our home. I had a combo heater/vent fan and light fixture in our bathroom, fail. I tried to replace it myself, but noticed some really funky wiring that was not only a mess, but missing a ground wire. Bill made the call on very short notice and found the problem immediately along with a solution to fix the faulty (and dangerous wiring). Bill is very communicative, clearly explains what he discovers and gives the options on how to remedy work done by sloppy or unqualified contractors that came before him. He really knows his craft and the code requirements as well. On top of all that, Bill is just a really nice guy and I enjoyed our conversations. If you need electrical work done, don't cut corners, hire an extremely qualified electrician and Bill's the guy to call. read more

Bill disconnected the old knob and tube wiring and installed all new circuits in my house. The wiring now meets code requirements. He is an expert electrician. Everything was installed beautifully. He answered all my questions. Highest recommendation for Beyonergy Electric. read more

I found Bill on Yelp and if you're wondering about all these glowing reviews, they are 100% accurate. Whenever I need an electrician now, I will be thinking "I need Bill". We lost power to our detached garage and Bill responded immediately. His standard call-out rate was a little higher than another, but something drew me to Bill and I'm so glad I made that decision. The job turned out to be one of those annoying, tricky ones. Other electricians might have walked away. But Bill was extraordinary. He was extremely communicative. He turned up exactly when he said he would, telling me exactly what the plan was, what we'd try next, what it would cost (very reasonable) and even educating me along the way. He went well beyond what he needed to do and he's just the kind of guy that won't leave you in the lurch. I tried to tip him, he wouldn't have it. Choose Bill, you won't regret it. read more

Bill came the day after I called, did great work very promptly, and did a good job of explaining everything. Thank you so much!

I understood that there was a $150 minimum charge, but the "problem" with our can light turned out to be that we bought the wrong-shaped bulb, so the bulb wasn't screwing it all the way. So, the solution was to buy another bulb. I'm not sure this was a solution worth $150. read more

Bill is a knowledgeable electrician. My duplex in Alameda required some new sub panels to run internal electricity from the exterior boxes. My place was having some electrical problems and I was referred to Bill by one of his partners. Bill explained everything I needed and most importantly Why. I know stuff like this can be costly but I think Bill's quote and rate was very reasonable. Bill did the smaller things such as go to the city planners to run permits, talk to the tenants and plus he is really easy going. I like the fact that he did some of the drawings for the city planning too. I thought I was going to have to whip out the notepad and draw schematics. I highly recommend Bill, owner of Beyonergy for your electical needs. Plus look at all of the five stars he has received. Yes, he is that good. read more

This review is long overdue! Since my regular electrician (David of Tinpa Electrics) was swamped, he recommended that I call Bill to help with some lights that needed to be installed in our home. Bill was very prompt in returning my call and we were able to schedule a lighting installation at a convenient time for me. I have nothing but high praise for Bill's workmanship. He was very mindful of the spaces that he was working in. He could have charged me the original quoted price and installed a very heavy light fixture in my sons room, but he didn't install the fixture because he showed me how much of a safety hazard it was. He deducted the price from his original quote with no hassle even if he already did some labor opening up the ceiling and making his assessments. I'm happy that I found another trustworthy electrician in Bill. :) read more

Bill is an outstanding electrician. We interviewed 4 electricians and we picked Bill because he was thorough, listened to what we wanted, and was very knowledgeable. We did a full electrical upgrade on a San Francisco 1905 Edwardian home. Bill said this is his bread and butter type job. We found that he certainly is a pro at this. It was a big job but Bill finished quickly, for a good price. He's very honest and a very hard worker. We highly recommend Bill. read more

Bill was the third electrician we got a quote from. One was totally flaky - took 3 attempts just to get him to turn up, the other was outrageously expensive and obnoxious (gave me a whole line of crap about how my light switch was extremely dangerous and could kill someone). finally we came across Bill - based on his reviews here. He was punctual, factual and had very reasonable rates. He also gave us great advice on what we cold and couldn't do and what products to get from the electrical store. (Went to city lights at his recommendation - which was great and importantly to us not a big box retailer). We weren't disappointed - he did a great job! read more

Bill completed all the electrical work required by the city inspector for condo conversion including installing a new house panel, upgrading service, rewiring various things in the garage and hallways, installing/fixing GFIC and grounding outlets. Pricing: Bill's quote was extremely competitive and when I came up with additional items and change requests he was very accommodating and reasonable. As Alex T. mentioned in his review, he was very practical and saved me a lot of unneeded costs compared to quotes/recommendations from other electricians I interviewed. Quality: We passed the city electrical inspection with flying colors. I heard the inspector commend him several times on the quality of this work. I also found him to be very knowledgeable and willing to explain all kinds of details to me, a complete electrical amateur, as well as rationale behind the work he was doing. Bill drastically improved my level of electrical education! Customer Service: Bill and his crew were all very courteous, on-time, and cleaned up after themselves very well. They were all friendly and easy to work with. It's not always fun having a bunch of strange men banging and drilling in your house but Bill and his crew were all so nice and polite that I was really comfortable with having them there. I highly recommend Bill for all your electrical needs. If you want more info don't hesitate to message me with any questions. read more

You know how remodeling can be? All those contractors who seemed so nice at first turn out to be less reliable and nice than you thought...BUT THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH BILL, the owner of Beyonergy. I have worked with Bill throughout my remodel, converting a warehouse into two residences, and he has always been a pleasure to work with. He shows up when he says he will and works efficiently and professionally. I especially appreciated that Bill was willing to work flexibly with me in laying out my electrical and lighting plans on the fly (of course i had generic lighting plans on my drawings, but we ended up creating something quite different). I also had to remove several old panels and transformers, and all the work has gone smoothly. All city inspections have gone well. My first call to Bill was to check if a 220V outlet was working. He informed me of the minimum charge before he came out, and once he got here the check took only a few minutes. Bill charged me less than the minimum charge since he was in the area anyway and the call was so short. It was his fairness that made me decide to call him back when I had a major remodel to do. I would recommend Bill to anyone who needs electrical work - this guy knows what he is doing. read more

Bill recently helped me to install a new 200 amp electrical service and run a sub panel to my garage. The house is an Eichler (so no attic or crawl space). Bill was thorough, professional and hard working. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone for any kind of electrical jobs. He really knows what he's doing, and has the ablilitwy to put that knowledge to good use! read more

We had a wall outlet that didn't seem to be working properly. It was potentially even dangerous. So I contacted Bill Vuong at Beyonergy, and he came over right away. Indeed, there was a breakthrough in a hot wire's insulation that had momentarily shorted to ground when I had inspected the outlet. Bill took the time to explain every aspect of the situation and corrected it. He is a very experienced, licensed electrician who is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs electrical work. read more

Bill was a real pleasure to work with. We needed to replace one of the fuse panels on our 1890 victorian duplex. The house wasn't built with electricity and this fuse panel looked like it was from when electricity was first installed. There were also 2 "new" circuit panels but unfortunately new in this case meant from the 1960s. So the whole thing had to be replaced and if we're doing all that upgrading the amount of amps coming into the house made sense which meant a new thicker wire running down the house. Also a grounding rod. To save money I did some of the non-electrical leg work. The outside of the house must be flat and the ground level in front of the panels. I also went down to city hall and waited in line to pull the permit myself. If you're getting a service upgrade make sure you hire someone experienced with the intricacies of Oakland code. There are a million rules about number of inches this must be from that, how the sticker labels must be placed etc. Bill showed me how to safely open everything for the city inspector but he was nice enough to come by for the inspection (which wasn't part of the deal). Now we are just waiting for PG&E to do an inspection and make a permanent connection. Bill put the whole thing together over 3 days but it's going to take PG&E 2 months to do an inspection. read more

This review is long overdue. Bill worked on my house 2 years ago and was very professional, honest, and knowledgeable. He truly loves what he does. He gave us advice and educated us on why things should be done a certain way. 2 years later and everything is working great! I highly recommend him for your electrical needs. read more

Of the four contractors we contacted for estimates, Bill of Beyonergy was the fastest to respond with the most professionally done and thorough quote, including obtaining a permit which was not brought up by the other candidates. He and another worker finished the job of grounding the outlets and adding a circuit to our 1927 house in under one day. I felt bad that they had to experience the surprises they encountered in the crawlspace under the house, but they were professional about it as they were with dealing with the inspector later. Yes, I would definitely work with Beyonergy again. read more

This guy is AMAZING. Bill has now completed several projects for my family and every time he stops by he is fast, efficient, professional and extremely friendly and insightful. Bill is not afraid to educate his clients and he does his very best to share his knowledge with you so that you can save some of your hard earned money. That's rare to find in this day and age when most businesses just want to charge you for every little thing they can. Not Bill. He's fair with his pricing and he's a great guy to chat about life with while he's getting the job done (if chatting and asking questions is your thing, then you're like me). He works diligently to get the work done in the timeframe that he gives you and he is extremely prompt. Call me old fashioned, but if I'm going to give my money to someone for a service, I want it to be a good, honest and knowledgable guy like Bill. Thanks Bill!!!! UPDATE: I've been meaning to update this review for awhile now since Bill has worked on a few more projects for me and my family. Folks, IF YOU NEED AN HONEST, DEPENDABLE, KIND HEARTED PERSON DOING WORK IN YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS THEN BILL IS YOUR GUY!!!! I can't tell you the number of issues that Bill has resolved for me in my old (built in 1922) home. What I can tell you is that everything he's done has been above and beyond. Plain and simple, the quality of work and knowledge that Bill brings to the table is exceptional to say the least. I have yet to find an electrical issue that he cannot resolve and he's always more than willing to walk me through the cause and best approach (also most cost efficient) once he's assessed the problem. He's friendly, prompt, knowledgeable and fair. I've said it before and I'll say it again, give your money to someone who cares about their customers and quality of their workmanship....you will not be disappointed. read more

Found Beyonergy Electric via yelp, because I had a stove that was tripping my breaker. Posted a request to their website requesting help asap, and Bill got back to me promptly within an hour. Very professional and upfront about his fees and tasks he would be doing. Although I didn't purchase his services, Bill was nice enough to help me figure out my problem (I just needed a new stove). I would definitely recommend anyone needing electrician services to give Bill a call. read more

I was empty headed and tried to tighten up a really old wall plug that was loose without turning off the breaker fuse which exploded in my face! This took out power in part of the house. I reached out to my normal electrician David at night unfortunately he was out of town and referred me to his friend Bill. Bill's voice mailbox was full so I sent a text msg and he was very responsive and was able to make it out the next morning which was a Saturday. Bill is very wise and knowledgeable and took the time to explain to me how my electrics worked throughout the house and he fixed and replaced my wall plug and checked my wires and fuse box. The box was old and suggested a replacement due to a recall and broke down the costs but there was no pressure. He noticed I had swapped out a bunch of other wall plugs throughout the house so he was kind enough to check the rest of them and made suggestions for the type of plug for each room. He even recommended more affordable places buy them vs the big box stores. He is quite conversational once he starts explaining the inner workings but that seemed to be his way of making sure everything was understood completely by me which was great. He charged a fair price and if I ever need someone I would definitely call him if David is not around. Cheers to you Bill if you're reading this! read more

Bill is awesome. We had an issue with recessed LED lighting not working in a couple rooms because the idiot who originally installed it had the wrong switches for the lights (of course we didn't know this was the problem until Bill took a look at it). Bill was at my house less than an hour after I called him, and less than 2 hours later everything is fixed and working great. I highly recommend him. read more

Bill was all I could have hoped for in an electrician. He was honest, responsive, prompt, fairly priced, communicative, hard working and just a good guy. Oh, and he is a great electrician too! He completed rewired our 1920s house and added a new sub-panel. He talked us through the various options and detailed the pros and cons of each. I will definitely be calling Bill for future electrical needs. read more

Bill is knowledgeable, competent, responsive, and honest. He was one of the first electricians to respond to our inquiry (we left messages for a dozen), and came out very quickly to look at the job. (We may have lucked out that he had just gotten back from vacation. Some electricians were not taking new work because they were so busy.) His bid was similar to other bids we got, but he was more competent than some, explaining the code requirements as we walked through the job. Ours was not a huge job -- installation of outdoor 240V and 110V plugs, repair of another outdoor plug, installation of 3 indoor plugs, and wiring 240V to a detached garage, via an overhead wire. But Bill and his helper Eddie worked very efficiently and quickly, and cleaned up when they were done. Bill will be the first person we'll call whenever we have other electrical work to be done. (This was written by my husband.) :) read more

Bill returned my call quickly, and arrived when he said he would arrive. After I'd shown him what we needed done, he asked to wash his hands to keep the new fixtures clean. Frankly, that was a first in my experience and I really appreciated it. He also made sure to protect our hardwood floor as he worked. I had Bill replace our old 60's style, yellowed can lights with new LED lights. I had also wanted him to install push button dimmer switches in two rooms, to replace existing toggle switches (to bring us back to the original era of our home); however, Bill explained that what I'd bought was not compatible with the new lights. I had numerous questions and Bill was clearly knowledgable as he answered my questions. Despite having to take time with the switches, he did not charge me, despite installing one in our dining room! His price was very reasonable. I'm hoping we can use Bill for an upcoming remodel (I know the general contractor has his own guy, but I plan to discuss using Bill instead. The contractor's electrician did not return my call). This was a relatively small job, but Bill's work inspired confidence in every way. read more

I had been trying finish 2 bathrooms as part of a difficult remodeling project on a 75 yr old home in Oakland. My contractor flaked out on me before the final city inspection was done. Based on Beyonergy Yelp reviews I gave Bill a call and he came out the next day. He looked at the bathrooms and pointed out some things with the GFI circuits that were done incorrectly that would not pass the inspection. He explained in detail what needed to be done. The charges for his work were reasonable plus he could complete the job the next day. I passed the final inspection with no problems. Besides his good work the outstanding thing in my mind is how responsive Bill is to phone calls and texts. He gets back to you quickly! He also can usually get to the job within 1-2 days and even saves Saturdays for emergencies. read more

Are they still in business? Just called, rolled to voicemail, and mailbox is full so can't get through at all. Hard to use a business if there is not way to get through to them. ??? read more

Bill is the best. He was the first person to respond to my estimate (in under 30 minutes too) and was able to schedule an install of a ceiling fan and dimmer the same week too. Showed up at a great time and Work was completed in 90 minutes. He's also a great person to talk to so I didnt feel like I had to keep watch over him or anything like that. I highly recommend. read more

We were cited by the City for some improper wiring and Bill came on time, did the work and charged a very fair price. I will definitely use his services again. read more

My lights and fan quit working in my bathroom. It seemed like a straightforward problem that a trip to the breaker box would fix. When that didn't work, I had no other tricks up my sleeve. Doing what I always do when I need a reliable contractor, I turned to Yelp. I was delighted to see a smorgasbord of highly-rated electricians. So I called 5 of them and left detailed messages. Bill was the first to return my phone call. And in fact, before I got a return call from anyone else, he had already been to my house, traced the problem, and fixed it. Thank you, Bill, and thanks again, Yelp. read more

This is not based on his services, but the lack of response. I tried to call him twice over the past month and no response. Bad customer service. read more

I found Bill from a list of recommended electricians from the Golden Gate Mother's Group (via my wife). I wanted to have my electrical circuits "grounded" and wasn't sure what that meant. I had a phone consult with another electrician who suggested a $2-6000 job. Bill had a more practical approach. He could do a complete re-wiring that could cost that much; alternatively, if we were really concerned about safety of my family and electronics, then replacing GFIC receptables would do the trick and bring everything up to code. It was a much cheaper alternative. He was also very prompt and personable. read more
