Victor is the man. Fully updated the shoddy electrical in my old house. The job became more complicated than expected when he saw some of the wiring another electrician had done, but he figured out all the options, explained the pros and cons, and I really feel we got to the right place. Super clean work and always good to be around. read more

Victor is a great electrician He found our problem and fixed very quickly Highly recommend electrical assistance for all electric needs read more

Victor has been really helpful starting with replacing some breakers our insurance required we change at our new house. He has also helped troubleshoot some unusual wiring and has always been communicative, on time, and resolved the issue at hand. Would recommend to anyone looking for an electrician read more

Excellent work, trusted service, always responsive, very pro. Would highly recommend.

I posted a project on Yelp to get a quote to replace three GFI outlets. Some electricians provided a wide price range, others wanted a service fee to make a visit and provide a quote, and Victor was quick to respond with a firm fair quote for the project. I selected Victor based on his outstanding reviews and his confidence to provide a firm fair quote. Victor showed up on time, went straight to work, and his knowledge and professionalism was clearly evident. He finished the project quickly and we are are very happy with the results. Based on our experience, I highly recommend Victor. read more

It was almost 10 PM tonight when I called Victor and left a VM. He promptly called back, checked to see if had the correct breaker in his van and drove from Petaluma to SF to get the power on when I shared our predicament. . He provided excellent service that's reasonably priced and was focused on our needs! He certainly has our recommendation!!! read more

Most businesses provide an evaluation for free. When five competitors offer free evaluations and this company wants to charge me $300 without doing any actual work? I think not. read more

Victor Soares is an excellent electrician. He installed a Solar charger and helped with other electrical projects. He was always on time, very knowledgeable, easy to work with, courteous and kind. We would definitely recommend Victor Soares. Jim and Terry Nevin read more

Victor is the most responsible, honest and knowledgeable electrian I have ever met. He was prompt to response and showed up at my house within 2 hours after I texted him. He listened carefully to my problem and explained how things work when charging an EV at home. He combined his experience of EV and his professional knowledge to troubleshoot the issue. He followed fundamental troubleshooting steps and we solved the issue without introducing any cost or replacement of anything. He kept his promise of free estimate in Marin County and without charging me for troubleshooting and solving the problem. He is the electrician I will definitely recommend to friends and families.

Just because we now have the time doesn't mean we now have the ability. Someone in my household decided to fix a little electrical problem on his own and the next thing I knew, an entire wall of electrical outlets was non-functional and an electrical cord now snaked out from behind my refrigerator to an outlet on the other side of the room. This was not the look I was going for. Electrical Assistance to the rescue. The last time I'd needed an Electrician the soonest I could get one was weeks out. I hedged my bets and contacted three well-reviewed Electricians (including the company I'd hired previously) and Electrical Assistance (Victor) was the first to respond. That evening, via text, he told me he could fix the problem, estimated the cost, and told me I should call in the morning to get an appointment for two days later. The other two electricians responded to my call, but not until about 1 day later. Electrical Assistance showed up on time - early, actually, with advance notice - fixed my problem in 1 hour ($185/1st hour, $150/hour thereafter), and left their work space neat and orderly. Victor and his assistant were masked and respectful of social distancing. Everything about the experience was nothing short of perfect. Save the electrical work to an experienced pro. I have found my - and maybe your - new electrician. read more

Victor was really clear about rates and scheduling. Very responsive. They did good work and were able to do all 3 jobs in one day the same week I contacted them. read more

I needed help for another small job - I dropped Victor a quick text, and the problem was resolved the next day! This is a A+++ company and I'd gladly use him again and refer him to anyone around! read more

These cats are top notch. Victor was responsive and had my appointment booked lickety split! The process from contact to booking was so efficient. They were early for the appointment, very professional, and explained both the work that needs to be done and the process and timing expectations. read more

We hired Victor and the team at Electrical Assistance to split the electric meter in our garage in San Francisco. This was one of the requirements of converting our tenancy in common (TIC) into a condo. Like everything that needs government approval, it was WAY more complicated than we could have imagined. The project ended up being a huge pain in the butt! The silver lining is that Victor was amazing throughout the process. He's efficient, highly communicative, and went above and beyond to make sure we got the project done. Even though we had a ton of bottlenecks from PG&E, Victor made sure we got it done right and was extremely fair in his pricing. Can't thank him enough and highly recommend working with him & the team! read more

Spoke with Victor. He was able to help me out over the phone. Hard to find people nowadays willing to give honest advice.

I hope you can find more good folks like him! Thank you very much. the Electricians that came to do the work were friendly and the work was real nice. read more

Excellent communication and quick appointment and resolution. Will use in the future if needed!!

We have worked with Victor and his team twice and will do so again. He is very knowledgeable and professional. He helped us understand all our lighting and electrical options, provided us guidance and fixed some issues we had with our electrical outlets while installing beautiful recessed lighting. His team was very professionals and did a great job. Thank you! read more

Victor and team helped us with a whole-home panel upgrade, advised on the trenching, responsive, quick, and clean. Our "go to" electrician now read more

Great and helpful company! Really nice guy too. He came to my house to do the "repair" and it turns out that I'm just a dummy and didn't press the reset button hard enough. Good sense of humor as well. I'd totally call him back. read more

I highly recommend Victor and Electrical Assistance. Victor has a broad base of knowledge and follows current electric work codes. I have called on him several times over the past two years for a variety of jobs, including hanging and connecting light fixtures, changing and adding switches, removing old wiring, and most recently, adding a new socket through a wall. I plan to have him install an EV charging station when I get a new car sometime next year. In all cases he and Juliano, his assistant, have been prompt and professional, and have followed up with me after doing the work. Also of note, Victor has how-to videos on YouTube under Electrical Assistance. read more

Victor and his assistant met me at the jobsite within 30 minutes (it was a lucky break that he was between jobs). He resolved the non-working ceiling fan, fixed the GFI outlets in the kitchen, and was able to troubleshoot the electric work my friend had done that left half the house without power. Victor was pleasant to work with, professional, and worth every penny! I will definitely use Electrical Assistance again. read more

Victor and his team are fantastic! Very professional, courteous and thoughtful. They made great suggestions for our many chandeliers and ceiling fans we had installed. Highly recommend Electrical Assistance for your electrical needs.. read more

Victor and his team helped us out AND handled my noob questions like a pro. I cannot recommend Electrical Assistance highly enough. They rock! Thank you! read more

Dedicated to excellence, customer-focused, and fair prices. All words exemplified by Electrical Assistance based on my experience. After interviewing multiple arrogant electricians who didn't take the time to understand my needs and jacked the prices sky high most likely due to the wealthiest in Marin County, Victor was the only electrician that wanted to take the time to understand the problems I was solving and work with me to provide the best solution for an electric panel replacement at a reasonable price. It is rare to come across An electrician of his caliber so look no further and give him a call. read more

We just bought an old 1950s house that needed quite a bit of electrical work done and luckily found Victor to do the work. He upgraded our service from 100amps to 200amps and performed a number of other things to get our house in proper order. He is very knowledgeable, professional, and most importantly honest in his work. We're hoping to have him back when we remodel the house down the road. I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone! read more

Had a fairly straightforward job1 replacing a breaker- that was made difficult by my uncooperative panel. They did a great job addressing it in a timely manner and on budget. Will be using in the future. read more

Victor did an excellent job with some recent electrical work we needed. This project was to add a washer & dryer to a 3rd floor unit in a 100+ year old building in SF. We initially thought we needed a panel upgrade for the new circuit. During his initial visit to provide an estimate he was by far the most knowledgeable of the electricians, and he walked us through the pros and cons of what our options were. Most electricians weren't interested in the job or gave outrageous quotes. We ended up finding a solution that was workable and didn't require an extensive amount of work, the whole project only took one day (with a lot of work on tall ladders). Communication was great via text or call when needed. I'd definitely use Victor again for any future electrical work. read more

Victor and staff came to my home and did an assessment of what I needed (a few ceiling fans with lights installed and a dedicated outlet for an electric fireplace installed) and provided an estimate that beat the other guys. Then, when I was ready to get started he scheduled me quickly and got the job done within a day. Victor pays attention to detail and is safety oriented (as any good electrician should be). He was great at communicating what needed to be done and why. I will trust Victor with any electrical project I have in the future. So glad to have found Electrical Assistance! read more

Victor has helped me twice recently, both times on short notice. The first time was to take a look at my generator transfer switch before I purchased a portable generator. Victor checked it out (without charge) and confirmed I was all set. Then I bought a generator and asked him to rewire the circuits connected to the transfer switch. He did a thorough, precise job at a very reasonable rate. I'll be calling Victor the next time I need electrical help. read more

We recently had Victor do some electrical panel work so we'd have a backup generator. His service was exceptional. For each appointment he either showed up on time, or called to let us know he was slightly delayed. (This was because of the good service he was providing to another customer.) When he arrived, he was respectful of our COVID needs, wearing a mask the entire time, and respecting distancing needs. His work was prompt, skilled, and completed in a timely way. He even did all of the work with the city to facilitate the permitting process. We'd be happy to recommend his service to others. read more

I highly recommend. My dad got electrical work done in his backyard for lighting and the jacuzzi about 8-9 months ago. Recently the lighting went out after a few rain storms and my dad hired him to come out and fix it. He came out, found it was a switch issue, he went out and got a new switch, installed it and would not accept payment for his work. He said he guaranteed his work and that's the warranty he provides. He is a reliable electrician. read more

Victor was wonderful, solved my situation immediately, the best!!! Would absolutely recommend him!!!

Victor is an outstanding electrician and an extremely professional businessman. I needed circuits relocated from a fuse box to an outside main panel and after contacting several electricians I chose Victor - and I am so glad I did. Victor is so easy to work with and I appreciate his honesty. Trying to prepare a house for a rental I have had several thoughts on how to solve various problems. He has been so patient listening and helping me see the pros and cons of my suggestions. I would recommend Victor without hesitation and he will be the first person I will call when I have additional electrical needs. read more

These guys were amazing. Super fast. Affordable and so nice. My job was fairly simple but they explained everything very well. I'll definitely be using them again for future projects. read more

Thank you Victor! I requested a quote online, got an email from Victor asking me to call him and answer a few questions. After I gave him a few more details he had me flip the switches on the breaker (my son and husband assure me they had already done this) and the power in the bathroom and my son's room came back on! Victor was patient and helpful on the phone and we avoided the need for a visit. Will definitely contact Electrical Assistance if we have any electrical issues in the future! read more

Victor shows up when he says he is going to show up and is very knowledgeable. I highly recommend his services.

Victor was so responsive, professional, and thorough in his process. I needed a plug in for the car charger and he was able to fit me into his team's schedule in a timely fashion. THANK YOU! read more

Victor is the man you want advising you on your electrical needs. He's professional & knows his industry well. We had a huge 6 month project to complete (panel upgrade to a 1920's home) & he was extremely flexible in working with our schedules. Not to mention the inspectors down at the city of San Rafael are aware of his high quality of work, which was nice to hear. read more

Victor was wonderful! He was extremely punctual, did excellent work, was a great communicator and did everything he said he would and more. He is also a pleasure to work with and reasonably priced. I highly recommend his services. read more
