Do not use COIL for commercial install. This project went VERY badly. Their recommended electrical engineer and electric installation company tied the EV station into an older tenant electrical transformer. Caused the entire building to have to be shut down by the City because the overload became a fire hazard. So expensive to get installed, then the property had to pay to have it de-coupled from the tenant transformer and now the EV station sits unused, unconnected and impotent. $25,000 down the tubes. read more

How do you get them to actually do their job? The permits and their own subcontractor are all ready to go, yet our Wallbox Quasar 2 unit has been sitting idle in our basement for months. All parties have identified Coil as the problem. They haven't given the final "okay" which is holding everything up. read more

You get a quote in a fairly reasonable time, but no know responds to emails or text, answers or returns phone calls if you have questions. What kind of business is this? read more

COIL did my home charger install after I moved to across the country and transitioned to an electric vehicle. It was a 10/10 experience for a very technical service. People probably overlook the amount of work that goes into a home electrical install of this kind, but COIL goes above and beyond to make sure every step of the process is handled properly with permitting/inspections. As a renter, COIL made sure to appease my landlord's requests along the way and made it very easy to understand for everyone. I barely had to get involved other than telling COIL what I wanted installed, when I could have an installer/inspection out, and in the end payment was incredibly easy with good options. COIL is definitely worth every penny. I do a lot of driving and in just a week since the install I've gotten over 100kw back into my car. I wish they did solar too! Thank you COIL! read more

Hello COIL Staff, My review for COIL. My text and communications with Ms. Courtney and Andy were exceptional. You and the staff keep me informed on things that I needed to do before installation. You informed me that the technician would be here as you indicated. He was on time. The technician, JR performed the installation with no problems. I was able to use my product as when job was completed. Thanks for a job well done. V/r Paul C. read more

We moved to a new house, and I (badly) needed a Tesla charger installed. I sent out a few quotes. Coil came back a little higher than others, but when I looked carefully, their quote included everything including permitting and inspections. The others didn't, and when you added it all up, theirs was the cheapest option! They scheduled promptly, showed up early (after checking if it was ok), were accommodating to my requests, and did a great, clean job. The followup - payment was great, and handled entirely online. read more

Coil - EV Charging Stations Near Me - San Francisco, California

I received a response very quickly about my request to have a 14-50 outlet installed with a reasonable price, but I was a little bummed that my agreement came back with a 6-50 outlet. It was my understanding that it was less common of an outlet so my purchasing an adapter would be less likely used at random airBnB etc. No big deal it was the same output of Amps so I signed contract and ordered my converter from tesla. The day of the install a 14-50 was installed. It was what I originally wanted so I returned the adapter and ordered a new one. A week later I'm able to test it and find that it's loose with screws not tightened.(pictured). I guess I can tighten it myself but honestly makes me a little uneasy about the install with a simple thing being loose. I'm about to tighten it myself and hopefully I don't get shocked lol. Overall satisfied with the quick install with just a few hiccups read more

COIL handled installation of my home EV charger. The COIL Team was friendly, responsive, patient, and professional. The sales rep made a suggestion that reduced the cost for my solution. It worked, and I could not be happier. I wanted the installation done as soon as possible, and they made it happen. I would use them again or recommend them to a friend. read more

After contacting several electric charging companies in San Francisco to install a TESLA charger in a multi-unit condo selected COIL Inc. The whole process of scoping the job, providing a quote, clarifying the technical specifications and scheduling the task was done online in a matter of day. The sales associate Andrew C was very informative and efficient. The installation was done on the scheduled date in 4 hours using a splitter / sub panel approach. The installer Jamie was very experienced and did a professional installation. The install passed inspection without issue and permitted all in the same day. I would highly recommend Coil to anybody with Evcharging installations be it residential or commercial. read more

My husband and I just bought a mustang mach 3 and needed a charger installed in our home. We were referred to Coil by a friend so we reached out to them and a few other ev charger instal companies to get quotes. Coil was able to do the job so soon and for the best price. They were super friendly and helpful. Being new to the electric vehicle world i had a lot of questions and they made the process so easy! I was really hesitant at first to even get an electric vehicle but we're so happy we did. read more

I recommend choosing another electrician on the Tesla list. After waiting for my appointment to install the Tesla Wall to replace an existing Level II charger, the electrician appeared confused and had a difficult time communicating. He seemed upset that the proposed location was not where he wanted the charger, but this location was stated in the original email request. However, his suggested location would not have reached the car's charging port. He stated someone would call me, but they never did. Upon emailing Coil, they stated "we will not be able to service your scope of work at this time". I have now lost over a month of time due to this. Therefore, I do not recommend Coil Electric. read more

Coil was great with my very difficult installation. We have a multi level house which needed the wiring to go through multiple floors. They were very professional and able to install the Tesla charger within the day. read more

Fantastic customer service and super professional. They were very detailed and asked the correct questions. Suz from customer service was a pleasure to deal with. read more

So Coil Electric is great! I had them install a 240v outlet (NEMA 6-50) in my garage for my new Tesla. I couldn't be happier with the job they did and my experience from start to finish. First off, Coil Electric is a highly 21st-century electric company (unlike 95% of electricians) in other bay area companies. They responded to my request/initial message within 24 hours and Andy (on their team) helped to answer any questions I had about the process. I then was able to schedule an appointment through their virtual calendar system and receive an electronic invoice describing the scope of work. On the day of my appointment Vladimir and the team showed-up early (definitely a first for me and any electrician). They then explained to me what they would do and before you know it, 4 hours later they were done. Lastly, they had Angela come over to meet me with SF inspectors to complete the job card. Coil Electric is what all electricians should be. read more

I realize that you don't provide this service after calling but also you guys told me you were just too busy for my project which is why I originally gave a worse review hope this helps more that you guys could help me but I do recommend CBR for Solar or electric keypad installation etc they also do security cameras they helped me with my project and have been great about the service and explaining the process etc I highly recommend CBR. And I guess if you have a big project that coil might work out for you. read more

These guys were great! I wanted a NEMA 14-50 outlet installed for my Tesla Model 3, but the quotes I was getting weren't working for my budget. Andy was able to come up with a solution that fit my budget and was very communicative throughout the entire process. Vladimir showed up at exactly the quoted time and was super friendly. He listened to my needs and worked around that. He explained the entire process very thoroughly before he started work and gave me a heads up before he shut off power to my unit which was much appreciated. The thing I like most about them is how considerate they are and how they pay attention to the smallest detail. I said that I wanted to test out the charger and since my garage is under construction, I'm currently stuck parking on the street. Vladimir was nice enough to save me my prime parking spot with his work van while I tried out the charger quickly. If more electrical needs arise, I will absolutely work again with Coil Electric! read more

Coil Electric was AMAZING! Suz provided options and helped me realize that Wallbox with all its extra features was better for my multi-unit building than the Tesla charger. She happily redid my estimate with a lower price when I realized I overestimated the distance. She also worked with me to find a better, faster and easier installation by going via the ceiling than against the wall. She was patient as I had lots of follow-up questions. The installation team texted me when they were on their way, showed up on time, finished the job on time and cleaned up everything. They were friendly and professional. Coil's price was about 30% less than another estimate I received because that company used a computer formula to generate something that wasn't really customized for my situation so it included a unnecessary charges and there was no human to e-mail or talk to. Finally, they are a local Bay Area company who knows the complexity of multi-unit buildings in SF. I am recommending them to all my friends! read more

Suddenly my Tesla was delivered after months of waiting and I had an immediate need for a wall connector. Every effort was taken by the sales dept, scheduler and actual electrician to accommodate me in a professional, polite and timely manner so that I am ready for the arrival of my car. Yay! read more

Coil Electric was exceptional. I had a couple electrician came over and give me quotes. Coil Electric was by far the most professional. Vlademir and Joseph came on time for the install and the sales team sent me reminder of the install and inspection prior to the job also. Vlademir and Joseph was super nice and professional, told me exactly what was going on and cleaned up after the job was done. The sales team was awesome because they are tentative to what suit your needs and was helpful through out. I will definitely go with Coil Electric again. read more

Coil - Ev Charger - EV Charging Stations Near Me - San Francisco, California

Coil Electric installed a Tesla Wall Connector in my garage in San Francisco. They were very familiar with electric car chargers and they did an excellent job running the electrical wires and conduit to my electrical panel. They gave me a very clear quote online based on photos of the garage and hallway, so they only needed to 1 visit to complete the installation. They were not the cheapest quote, but the work was very high quality. read more

I selected Coil Electric to install EV charging (NEMA 14-50) in my garage because they are the only vendor (out of 5 or so I called) who came back with estimate and returned my emails and phone calls. The technician came and installed today. I was very happy with his work and price. He was professional, polite and knowledgeable, and went over and beyond to meet the way we want it installed. I also noticed that he was taking time to do the job. It ended up taking longer than the originally scheduled for, and the Company cancelled his afternoon appointment so that he could complete the work and not rush it. I was very happy about that. If you need to have NEMA 14-50 installed at your house in San Francisco, I highly recommend Coil Electric. read more

Coil Electric is the real deal. They are super professional and very easy to work with. We had a number of issues in our newly purchased 1930's home. We wanted to replace the ancient circuit breaker-- as it was literally a fire hazard. We also added in a transfer switch so we can connect our whole house easily to a generator in case of a ​PG&E-level crisis. Finally,​ we added an EV charging outlet and more outlets in the basement. They handled everything on the list in a timely manner with plenty of great communication along the way. The scheduled work was all completed in a day and everything they did works like a charm and passed permit inspection. Their follow up was consistently courteous and professional. Pricing was clear and very fair. I would work with Bobby and the team at Coil again any time.​​ read more

While the folks with Coil Elec were nice and helpful, the biggest issue is that they are a middle man (person) and essentially farm out their electrician services to local companies. This set up an array of multiple communications from different people, and I didn't even know which electrician would be doing install until just prior to planned installation. The price was also much higher than other local electricians, likely due to finder's fees. I made an appointment for a Tesla Wall Connector in my garage. I was able to save ~$700 by going through a local company in the Portland area (Young Electric) instead of Coil, who wanted to charge me $2000+. I give them 2 stars (instead of 1), as they were pleasant in their communications. And, they and their sub-companies might do excellent work as evidenced by other reviews. But, I wish there was more transparency into which electrician I'd be using, along with the pricing. read more

The reason why everyone gives them 5 stars is because it's not possible to give them more. What an amazingly reliable and straight forward service. Communication from day 1 was clear and concise, they were flexible when I needed to change my installation date, they showed up on time, and they had everything they needed to get the job done on their own. Not only that, but Vladimir was incredible kind and even went above and beyond and labeled different wires and breakers to make life for me in the future even easier. His explanations were clear, and he patiently explained each and every step until we crossed the finish line together. What an outstanding service. I will definitely be recommending them to any of my friends making the switch to electric. Thank you!!! read more

Our property (older home here in Mill Valley) provided a lot of challenges for the installation of a new EV charging outlet in our garage. The Coil electrician, Jaime Flores, was incredibly professional and thoughtful on how to address these challenges, including the proper balancing of other electrical board/circuit demands in our home. The result was a very well installed EV outlet, right where we need it. Thank you! read more

Creatively used space and circuits in the electrical panel, installed the outlet precisely where needed. Excellent service.

The very first electrical contractor in the 30 years of living in this city that actually returned my call very timely, actually came out within the time frame they said he would {within a day or two). Discussed with me our ongoing issue with the circuit breaker and how we should prevent future problems with a suggestion to devote new breakers for the uneven load that we presently have on our system. And no fee for the hour visit and info. Does not get better than that. Platinum Certified, not just diamond certified. read more

Vladimir my installer was wonderful, very nice, and went above and beyond... 5 star for a great job! The Tesla wall charger installation went smooth, looks awesome, and works great!!! Can't say enough the process was easy from a Friday phone call to a finish installation on Monday. I would definitely recommend Coil and would use them again. 10 Stars....A+++...Awesome!!!! just Professional work, a job done right, and great value. read more

Reached out for an estimate and they got back with a very pricey quote 10 days later.

Highly recommend Coil for your EV charger install. I live in a condo and am the first person to get an EV charger installed. I had the WallBox installed. I had SO MANY questions and back and forth conversations with Coil. I never once felt like they were annoyed with me. They always responded very quickly. They are licensed and bonded and we're able to get all documentation and extra questions my HOA had before approval. They provided me with a free quote. They scheduled the city inspector and met them here the day after the job was done. The actual installers that did the job were also extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. My parking spot is pretty far from my actual meter and they were able to get the job done beautifully with no problems. The final job looks amazing and we are so happy! read more

Coil Electric installed a 240v NEMA 14-50 Outlet + Chargepoint Flex EV charger (outdoor installation) for me back in August of 2020 (review is long overdue). The process from start to finish was amazing. The team was super professional, responsive, took the time to explain to me different installation options and chargers, and were able to complete the job quickly and on time. The install was particularly difficult because our main panel was on the other side of the house and required a significant extension to reach the desired point of installation. No issues for the team that showed up onsite - all pros who knew exactly what they were doing and consulted with me on every key decision to ensure I would be happy with the end result - which I am. Highly recommended. read more

The Coil Electric team was AMAZING to work with. Super professional, flexible and easy to work with across the entire company. I used them to install a Tesla charger in my garage. We had a few hiccups on our side that required our plans to shift a few times, but the team quickly adjusted and were always nice about the changes. They even hopped on a virtual consultation to answer other electrical questions I had. Ultimately, the team who did the installation arrived on time, finished the job early, and went the extra mile (added labels to my electrical panel and put the door back on the panel). Highly highly recommended! read more

I've had ongoing problems with some outlets for years, that finally resulted in a whole circuit going dead. So I contacted Coil Electric through their website, and a short time later got a phone call from the owner Bobby. He showed up soon after and immediately got to work. Not only did he fix the faulty wiring in the fried outlet, he also helped me find and unplug a lamp on the circuit that was destabilizing it. After over a decade of problems, he fixed them all in one hour. He didn't charge a diagnostic fee, just a single hour of labor and less than $10 in parts. I can't recommend him enough. I will confess that part of the reason I chose Coil Electric was the name; my Burning Man camp builds Tesla coils among other high voltage activities. But every part of dealing with them was outrageously great. read more

Their automated system to quote my job was very easy to use and accurate. Courtney made it easy to schedule and communicated through out the process. the installer, Keen, was knowledgeable and finished the job in a timely fashion. looking forward to charging at home! read more

We contacted Coil Electric for a multi unit condo EV charger install in SF. The communication with Coil Electric team was absolutely fantastic. After sending over a few photos of our garage, Bobby responded very quickly and walked us through all the necessary steps from the DCC solution for multi condo units, how to talk to HOA for a smooth approval process, and was super patient as we sorted out everything necessary on our end. Followed by a clear itemized quote and kept us up to date with text message updates on the progress with scheduling. On the day of the install, their team sent photos while I was at work to keep me updated. All in all a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend! read more

Don't even get a second quote, nothing will compare to the job they'll do for you! Huge thank you to Bobby! The best Electrictian and the most outstanding business owner ever! I called them during business after hours and someone answered the phone, I told them I had a little emergency with my restaurant's hood exhaust fans that are above the grill to suck up all the smoke... that means we have to close... Instead of saying sorry we're closed, the owner Bobby came down to chestnut, fixed my hood exhaust and showed me what was wrong with full details... maaaaan I was shocked most Electricians don't do that!! I vote Bobby best Electrician in SF! read more

The entire process with COIL was 5 stars! From the point of receiving a quote, throughout the scheduling process and the install, everyone I was in contact with was professional and kind. I am very happy with my EV charger install and would highly recommend COIL to anyone who is looking for the same. read more

Absolutely professional, seamless experience. Tesla recommended them. Everyone I interacted with was super helpful and knowledgeable. I had them install a Tesla home charger.
