My lights were flickering when I would run the microwave or vacuum, and so I reached out to electricians in the area to see what was wrong & to get a quote for how much it would cost to repair. Boyes was the only company I could find that could send someone out on short notice. Angel came by the very next business day, quickly diagnosed the problem, recognized that it was something PG&E had to repair (so didn't charge me), and one emergency technician and some 30 minutes later my power was in perfect order. All in all, I was very happy with Boyes, and highly recommend their service! read more

Diego C added some outlets plugs to my garage last week. I had been putting it off for some time now but boyes electric gave me a great price and were extremely easy to work with. Diego was able to get the job done in one day. Thank you for the amazing service! read more

Alex the service manager visited the job on same day as my initial call. He was honest and provided valuable insight into my electrical system. read more

Speedy response. Knowledgeable technician. Reasonable price! Totally recommend! Would use them again and again.

We were having issues where our thermostat wasn't getting any power. Angel came by to check our breaker and confirmed the electrical was working properly. He was very clear and explained everything he was doing. read more

I live in a 100 year old house. I had an active fuse box on the bathroom wall. I hired Boyes Electric to do an entire house rewire. Initially, I hired Boyes in Dec. 2023 to install a new electric panel outside the house, plus remove the old fuse box. Dylan & Diageo worked on the partial rewire. I was so pleased with their work, that I had Boyes come back in June 2024 to completely rewire the rest of my house. On the second job, Dylan (Lead electrician) & Raul worked on my house. The Boyes teams did excellent work on both jobs. They use high quality materials (Siemens electric panel). They do not do shortcuts or cheap materials to make their bid cheaper. At the end of each day, the team cleans up the area that they were working on by removing plastic sheeting & vacuuming. An entire house rewire is expensive, but when it is finished, it is well worth the money. I recommend Boyes for their high level of professionalism & their excellent installation. read more

It's been a while since I had Sal from Boyes come out to quote a full house rewiring project. They provided quick walk through, clear quotation, and even included drywall patching as part of the quote. They were very competitive and actually the most affordable amongst 4 companies I spoke with. Due to some other projects that were coupled I decided to go with another company that could take care of more than just the electrical work. I kick myself that I didn't go with them for a few reasons. It's been over a year and in that timeframe I have had a few jobs that needed to get done at a few different locations. And I have been able to make a few connections with folks that were also doing projects of various sites. This is a sign of amazing work you should know and why my next electrical projects without a question I will go to these folks: 1) I walked through a couple large jobs and noticed how neat these electrical panels were routed and how clean their conduit was routed, it was like art. I made a comment to the owner of both projects, "wow this reminds me of a company I almost went with a year ago". What do you know, it was done by these guys! You can recognize quality from afar and they are branding themselves without even leaving signs. What a shame their work gets covered up. 2) I came across a former employee of theirs who is now working with another company on a job for me. We were chatting casually and I was mentioning another job and he without prompting recommended that I consider Boyes. He couldn't speak more highly of the owner and his former coworkers. I think it's a great testament when someone can look back and still say their former employer was amazing. It means they also treat their employees with respect and care. So here is the summary - Transparent process, clear quotes, competitive price, and amazing quality of work. You all should put more photos on Yelp so other looking for amazing electricians can see how beautiful your work is! Keep it up. Can't wait to work with you all. read more

Boyes Electric will be my go-to whenever I need help again. They responded to my request quickly and were able to come out within a few hours. Angel was friendly, professional and got the job done without any hassle. I hope the next time I call that Angel comes back, but I'm sure the rest of the team is just as cool. Highly recommended! read more

Boyes electric sent a representative out quickly, and that person was very knowledgable and helpful. He said that he would have an estimate out by the end of the day or the first thing the next morning. That was about three weeks ago and they have been unresponsive to any messages sent since. I understand that sometimes a company may decide that they don't want to take a certain project, and I respect that. What's frustrating is when they ghost you. read more

So, here's the thing I have not actually had them do anything. After the storms in Oakland, last Thursday I had all kinds of weird electrical issues. I tried to fix it myself for a couple days, but this was way beyond me, so I finally decided to call a proper electrician. I picked these guys basically at random on yelp. They answered the phone right away, I described the problems and he says "sounds like you have lost a phase". "Before we come out and charge you for anything, call up PG&E, tell them 'you've lost a leg' and have them come out and see what they say" And he was absolutely right. PGE just left and now everything is great. Anybody who does business by saying "before we come out and charge you, here's a possible free solution to check first." I like businesses who run like that. So these guys are now and forever my first call for electricians. read more

I had finally gathered enough electrical projects that I needed a pro, and after reading reviews here I decided to have Boyes come out and give me a quote. I didn't want the cheapest, I wanted the best. That said I think that the quotes that I received from them were reasonable. The work quality was excellent. The workers were considerate, clean, and wore masks (COVID-19) and shoe covers. Here's what they did for me: His wires behind two TVs (two new outlets behind tv). Installed hdmi in the wall (also behind the tv). Installed a new GFCI outlet behind the toilet (for a bidet) Installed a new NEMA 14-50 outlet in the garage (for charging the Tesla) read more

Boyes Electric - Look ma, no wires! - Electricians Near Me - Oakland, California

I received two separate referrals to Boyes from friends of mine, so I contacted them to upgrade my service and install a new electrical panel. The whole process has been flawless and executed very professionally - the person I was in contact with, Sal, answered all my questions, provided me with information to make decisions, handed me an easy to follow quote, and was super friendly as well as knowledgable. They did not try to upsell me on anything (I was initially inquiring about a much larger panel than I need and they told me straight up it's not a good use of my money and unnecessary for my house). Everything happened on the timeline they provided me with, at they dates they said it would. The work is high quality - they know what they're doing. They also made sure to keep everything nice and clean, like they weren't even here. Would absolutely be using them again for future electrical projects. Thank you Sal and the rest of the Boyes team! read more

Our overhead kitchen light started flickering a few weeks ago. I thought it would be a simple fix, so I replaced the light fixture and ensured all connections were tight. Unfortunately, that didn't solve the problem, so I requested a few quotes from local electricians. Boyes Electric was able to identify the problem quickly, get repairs scheduled for the next week, and solve the problem. Great, stress-free experience. read more

I needed help troubleshooting some lights at our home , Omar was on time , professional, and he figured the problem pretty quickly. Definitely will hire Boyes Electric for future installs . read more

Had the simplest issue in my new home (I've no knowledge of electrical things) and Angel made his way out and showed me how to resolve the issue and was very friendly and candid about it and wasn't trying to be shady and charge me massive costs like quotes I got from other companies/electricians. I highly recommend Boyes Electric and Angel. read more

Borin was amazing. He came by and checked an outlet for a stove I've been having issues with. Super impressed by the service that he and Boyes electric provides. I'll be using them again for sure! read more

Boyes came through in a pinch. They fixed the problem and I would trust them to help again.

I've used Boyes Electric twice now - once to install a power share and once to run Spa wiring and change out 26 recessed lights. Working with Oscar, Diego, Dylan, Nery, and Omar was just seamless. They showed up when they said, completed all the work very professionally and completely cleaned up after themselves. They were friendly, knowledgeable and thorough. On the workorder they had 24 recessed lights to replace which was incorrect - I didn't verify. That wasn't a problem as they told me they thought they had a couple extras. Not sure if they had the extras or went out and bought two more from the hardware store but they did the extra two. I assumed and fully expected they would charge me an additional amount, but I was told those would be included also. I was pleasantly shocked. I will always use Boyes for any further electrical work I need and hope to work with the same individuals as they made the job go very smoothly and communicating with each of them was a refreshing, easy experience. read more

Initial service was fine. 240V outlet was being installed, and during the process, the circuit was tripped, which damaged the oven. After some discussion, in which they did not take responsibility for what happened, they agreed to purchase a new motherboard and install it. Three weeks later, after I contacted them several times, they finally came and replaced the part (and told me the part arrived weeks ago). This review comes four weeks later. The outlet is fine, the oven is fine, but we're just now realizing the dishwasher was also hit during the circuit trip. We use the dishwasher once every 4-6 weeks (deep cleans), so we didn't notice until now. I reached out to the original electrician, another team member that I was previously in contact with, a supervisor at Boyes, and called the main line. Not a single response. Messages left, texts sent, calls to the office at various hours of the day - silence. Would not work with them again. I plan on reaching out to Qmerit to suggest that they remove Boyes from the GM outlet installation program. They were paid $1800 to install an outlet that can easily be done by yourself for under $200, and takes a couple hours at most. read more

We had a large fluorescent fixture in a kitchen partically fall from the season. Boyes came out quickly and gave us an estimate to repair the enclosure and replace the lights with LEDs. Price was good and service was quick. I'd defintely call them again. read more

A year and a half ago, I had Boyes completely rewire my 100-year-old home. This week, I needed commercial help asap. My office ceiling is 12 feet high and most of the lighting fixtures were not working. I called Boyes on Monday. By Tuesday, Omar was at the office diagnosing the problem. By Friday, the work was completed. Really, what more could you ask for? You will receive a prompt response, timely service, professional work standards, and a fair price. Oh yes, a shout-out to Omar, who is a pleasure to work with. read more

I needed sconces and pendant lamps installed on walls that had just been papered (I know, my fault for doing projects out of order). I must have spoken to 10 different electricians before speaking to Boyes. 8 of them said, no way, can't be done, the wallpaper will have to be damaged in order to wire. 1 guy gave me hope and said that there may be a couple of options... though never returned my phone call and email to schedule. I was almost ready to throw in the towel. Then I found Boyes. O.M.G. These guys were incredible. When I spoke to Sal on the phone and explained the project, he sounded hesitant but said that he would still come out and take a look. He was responsive when scheduling, showed up on time, super friendly and really took the time to explain the scope and work involved. We scheduled the job a few weeks from that date. Fast forward and Jose and Dylan are here, doing the work. Beyond friendly and courteous. Efficient. Just great guys. Turns out that you can have "impossible" jobs done such as running wiring behind pre-existing wallpapered walls, people. Pretty easily, in fact. And all at a very fair, competitive price. Please, save yourself the stress of searching and just go with Boyes. You'll be very happy that you did. read more

I worked with Oscar from Boyes to install a 240 volt box and charger for my EV. Great job, very responsive and supportive!

Professional and high quality work! I contacted Boyes to run electrical into our firebox because we are converting our wood burning fireplace into gas burning. Needed a power source for the gas fireplace insert. Got a fast and free estimate and the work was done within a week! I also appreciated that they left our home neat/tidy and wore shoe covers. They also put down plastic on the floor where they were working. Price was very reasonable for the quality of the work and they accept cash, check, zelle or credit card. Very efficient and easy to communicate with-just a well run business all around! Would highly recommend for all your electrical needs! read more

I bought a new Chevy Bolt and Chevy paid to have an EV charger level 2 installed at my house. Qmerit, the company that Chevy contracts with to do the jobs, hired Boyes Electric. They did a great job, got the permit ahead of time, did the installation, and came back on inspection day and waited till the inspector showed up. The charger is working perfectly, the job is very neat, and the installers professional and nice guys too. Highly recommend. read more

They were prompt and on time. Completed job in minimum time. They were professional and knowledgeable. Will definitely use them again.

Reading many good reviews from Boyes especially on Sal, I contacted him for loss of all electrical functions in my oven. He came out and found my problem is not my oven but what he called the ground circuit interrupter? He reset it and everything works again. I am so appreciated for his skill, he is really a great guy, it took him less than 20 min and I thought I need a new oven or problem in the circuit breaker panel. The best part was, he didn't charge me for the service call. just a small fee. Well worth trying him out. Most company would charge a house call or service call. It is hard to find a honest man these days. I also thank Yelp for listing businesses we all need and people we can trust. 5 stars for Yelp and Boyes Electric. read more

Brought in Boyes for a whole-house rewiring project. Really enjoyed working with everyone on their team- from the initial estimate to conclusion of city inspection, everyone was friendly, approachable, hard working, and communicative. The work was good quality and the price was fair. Thank you Sal, Omar, Dylan, Borin, & everyone else who worked on the project! I'll continue recommending your company to those in my network! read more

Worked with Boyes Electric twice. Borin and his team did amazing job. They provide detail estimates , discuss various options , provide recommendations bSed on our requirements. Take work guarantee Work is very clean, finished before promised time. Get work done for my two houses. No complaints. All my neighborhood friends and now HOA hired them for electric projects. Everyone is satisfied with the work. Extremely knowledgable and professional read more

"Great" is an understatement--five stars is inadequate! Borin, thank you for owning and maintaining your busines of conscientious, skilled, meticulous, polite, people!! Boyes Electric's crew just completed an electrical panel upgrade at my home, likely dating from the orignial owners in the 1940s! It took two full days , plus an additional day of labeling connections, and awaiting the necessary PGE permit approval I got three estimates for the work. One was after a one minute (!) estimate visit, and just $ numbers--no detail. One was Boyes--same price but with specficic details of the required work, and options for different level of amp upgrades. One was a well-reputed electric company that charged TWICE as much. (Did they really want the job?) I was super-impressed with Sal Herrera. He is The Man!! He gave an estimate, taking time to explain the necessary work, options, etc.This was followed a code days later with a detailed written estimate. Sal is fantastic, and Boyes is lucky to have him. Not more than 1-2 minutes elapsed between texting him a question, and getting his reply!! Via email, -I received replies quickly. Sal's patience has no bounds. The on-site team --Lead / Project Manager Omar, with Diego and Dylan, and later Antonio, were considerate (shoe covers when indoors), communicated clearly, were easy pleasant to speak with, and most important, proficient and skilled. NB: Perhaps due to holiday hours--making a phone call, I learned the office itself was not open full time, so the phone was not answered immediately by a real person. If you don't get an immediate reply, I recommend contacting via Yelp ("request estimate" or "request callback" in addition to leaving a phone message. Thanks to Boyes and to previous Yelpers who have made Boyes deservedly number one!! read more

Boyes is really great and i feel like they have the customer in mind. Sal came to give me some advice that would be most cost effective for me and i greatly appreciate is help and would definitely use them again if needed. read more

Sal of Boyes Electric just completed a job on my house and did excellent work. From the initial contact he was very responsive, provided clear communication and performed excellent work. He also sent pictures of the completed work, which was appreciated. Thank you, Sal! read more

Outstanding company. We hired Boyes to upgrade our main panel to 200A and install a new circuit to our kitchen. They responded quickly and provided a fair quote, which was accepted after getting quotes from several other companies. Borin, Sal, and Jose all worked on our project at various times, and they were friendly and professional from start to finish. We had some issues trying to track down PG&E and our solar company to connect the new panel to the existing electrical system but Boyes kept us updated along the way. The final product was done neatly, cleanly, and professionally. Boyes removed old pipes and wires and the quality of the install was outstanding. They are our new go-to electricians and we cannot recommend them more highly. read more

Highly recommend these folks. Had an outlet that stopped working. They were professional, reliable and fixed the issue quickly. Sal communicated about the time he would arrive and was knowledgeable, polite and basically super awesome. Recommend! read more

I  had Boyes Electric come in today to install slim LED recessed lights in the living room in the vaulted ceiling. I cannot be more pleased! Borin was professional from the start and communicates clearly. Once he and Dylan got started they taped off with plastic any areas that could get dirty, did the install and then cleaned up afterwards. I would definitely call these guys again if I have any future needs! read more
