First impressions are important. Roger made a great first impression just by answering the phone when I initially called Formosa Electric. From our earliest conversation, I could tell that Roger was a smart businessman and he knew his trade. He was professional and courteous when he came to my house to give me a quote. Before he began my project, he secured the necessary PG&E inspection time and city permitting paperwork. I appreciated that I could send Roger questions via text and he always responded in a timely manner. I'm very pleased with the upgrade of my electrical panel to 200 amp and installation of recessed lighting in my kitchen, which definitely modernized my kitchen. Roger and his crew were knowledgeable, consulted me when they needed my feedback, they worked efficiently, and they cleaned up after their work. I highly recommend Formosa Electric. It was a pleasure working with Roger and I will definitely call him for future projects. read more

As a first time home owner, we are very careful with every decision we make as we want quality detailed work (without overpaying). We were glad to have Roger to help us with lighting installation. It's an old 1960's home with no recessed lights on the ceiling. Roger came in and did a quick inspection with us, provided suggestion and gave us good guidance on how to best light up our home. He is patient with all of our questions and returned all our emails within 24hours. On the day of the installation, he came at exactly the time he said he would (on a rainy day)! He checked with us the placement of light BEFORE he drilled holes. His work is great and he is very efficient.13 new dimmable recessed lights in a day! We were amazed because the lights were nicely placed and needed NO patchwork. A few months later, we also called Roger again for install more lights for us, can't be any happier with the result! read more

I hired Formosa Electric to upgrade the electrical in my house. Roger, the owner, responded to my texts promptly and came by on a Saturday morning to give me an estimate. He carefully explained what was needed and made recommendations based on what he would do for his own home. I appreciated his honesty and expertise - he advised what upgrade work was necessary vs. what were nice to haves. After receiving bids from three other electricians, I decided to go with Formosa. Roger was very likable and professional, and his fees were reasonable. The work was done today and I'm a satisfied customer. Roger and his crew showed up on time, and even confirmed our appointment a day in advance. They completed the work and cleaned up at the end of the day. I appreciate that Roger and his crew wore shoe covers in my home without me having to ask. Also, they minimized the amount of time that my house would be without power for the upgrade work. I would hire Formosa again, and I'd recommend them to friends/family. Thank you, Roger and crew! read more

Roger is very professional and knowledgeable.

excellent work！I am happy to have Roger upgraded my electric panel. Roger is very professional and got the job well scheduled and well done without any hassle. Thank you, Roger! read more

Roger identified and fixed the problem quickly. Plus, he made some corrections to meet city code. Reasonable price.

Roger was excellent!! He responded quickly to my request for him to check out a dysfunctional outlet in my house. He wore a mask and shoe covers as he entered our house. He analyzed the problem within a minute, and fixed our outlet! We are very happy with his service and professionalism, and highly recommend. read more

Roger is an amazing electrician and super friendly with customers !! We had a short outlet from the microwave. I gave Roger a call around 6:30pm and Roger shown up within an hour. He was able to diagnose the cause of the short outlet right away and fixed it in 10 minutes. I would use him again and highly recommend him for any electrical needs !! read more

We are super happy with Roger's excellent work!!! He was a life saver and master electrician for our problem!!! Our bedroom lights and power outlets went out without a clear reason. We were in trouble as our baby rocking cradle needed power to help our baby sleep! Roger immediately found out the root cause and fixed the wires; we are so impressed by his professionalism and efficiency!!! He is very courteous and friendly, wearing shoe cover booties in the house and sharing stories as a dad with young children. We will contact him again for any future electric work, and highly recommend him for our friends and family too!!! read more

It's very easy to work with Roger. The most concern to me at that time was living room would become ugly once he didn't cover the hole he drilled for pulling lines and repaint it well. But it turned out just perfect as he promised! You would never know where he drilled a hole on the wall or ceiling if I didn't tell you! I also worry about light color and bright. But again, as he promised, no problem at all! And dimmer is just too helpful since my housing has so many windows sometimes you don't really need to turn them on the brightest or before bedtime, adjust light bright, it helps kids move into sleeping model. I'm picky on professional and safety issues since these are regarding electricity and housing here are all built from wood. Each general contractor told me they can do accessed light but Roger is the only one who has special electricity license and is qualified to become Solarcity's subcontractor. Also, he always responded very fast. It helps busy mom a lot! That's why I chose him. After whole house LED lights project, I needed a new outlet in the garage. He did a great job than I expected. Roger is very friendly and polite. No problem for communicating in English. We enjoy our LED lights everyday very much. Hope so do you! read more

Many thanks Roger's team help. The team completed in one day including main panel upgrade, install dedicate line in kitchen, redo garage electrical, replace old fixture, install doorbell Ring. Super efficient and professional for having them help, highly recommended! read more

Roger is a nice person who is so patient to help us fix the problem even by phone calls. Absolutely highly recommend!

Roger is awesome. I requested numerous quotes for recessed lighting all in a day. Not only was he able to beat all the quotes, but he got back to me in a timely fashion and we were able to book a date right away. He's a professional and has extensive knowledge. He also was efficient, yet has a positive attitude. Many of the other electricians either was all about the money or just evasive when I had questions. Roger was extremely patient in answering all my questions and concerns. I live in a condo and didn't even know that installation could have caused damages. Roger was able to detect the waterline and dual copper pipes and prevented from damaging while installing. This was helpful in us notifying the crown molding crew the next day, so they did not accidentally nail into those areas. He was very personable and honest with his work. I'm a very picky individual and strive for perfection. Definitely recommend him to everyone I know. read more

I called Formosa Electric on a Monday morning, I talked to Rodger I asked him if he could come out on Wed. to give me a quote on some electrical work, he said it shouldn't be a problem, he said to text him my address so along with sending him my address I asked him if he could confirm that he is coming out sometime before Wed. I never got a call from Rodger, or a text!!...he never showed up!!.....just stating my experience with Rodger!! Update on Roger with Formosa Electric!!....Sorry Rodger this took so long you probably just forgot and I would be willing to work with you again you did show up the next day and you did give me an estimate, Thanks for coming by!!...Regards Rick Bailey read more

Called in the AM with an electrical issue. Roger gave me some tips as to how I could fix myself. Once we determined that we needed to replace a switch, he showed up promptly at the agreed upon time and fixed the issue within 15 mins. Great service. read more

Try to avoid unless you have months of time waiting for them to get back to you. I never got chance to see their workmanship, since I waited days to get their response even after I agreed to go ahead with their quote. Finally when I texted saying that I need an answer, they replied they are too busy right now! It would have saved me days of waiting if they informed that to me earlier. I am sure there are more professional but equally adept providers out there. read more

I hired Formosa Electric to get a Nema 14-50 outlet installed. Roger showed up before time, and had his mask on the whole time.

Would highly recommend Roger. read more

Will answer questions. He is responsive through email and text. Work is trust worthy and quality. Great experience. Thank you Roger read more

Very professional and thorough in their work. I've been hiring them for few years and they installed EV charger, sub panel, several indoor/outdoor outlets, smart switches and vent fans in my home. They always show up right on time, finish the work very quickly with high quality. They identified some issues with grounding in my home and did that work for free. Price is reasonable and definitely worth it especially for electrical work which gives you peace of mind. read more

We sent an inquiry about our Cleanroom Air Shower not working and needed to be fixed asap. By the next day after making the inquiry, he adjusted his schedule to come take a look at the problem and fixed it in less than an hour. He was very quick in his response, very professional, and very helpful. He did not have to but helped explained how to fix the issue and what parts to replace in case same problem occurs again. Since it was the first time using Formosa Electric Corp, we were honestly a little nervous if the Cleanroom Air Shower will be fixed but it was a great choice going with Roger. Thank you very much for your service! read more

Roger and team member had to delay our appointment by 2 days, because they were affected by PG&E's delay on the day of our original appointment. They upgraded our primary breaker, and 19 circuits and subpanel. Good workmanship, re-plastered around the new panel( removed a section of redundant stud). I'm satisfied with their performance. read more

This review is overdue for Roger. I got my recessed lighting and exterior electric outlet installed last Oct. Roger and his team came over for an estimate. Made professional suggestion on the location of the light on ceiling and how many lights based on the living space. The estimate sent to me the next day by email. Came on time as scheduled, drilled the holes on the ceiling; routed the wire; installed the LED lights; moved the furnitures and carpets; installed new switches if there is no existing one to connect to; plastered the ceiling to make it look like as it was; cleaned the mess; moved back the furnitures. Voila, my place becomes so bright. No mess; no fuss. I ended up asking him to install couple more recessed lighting and upgrade my switches with dimmer to save energy. Roger is also a great handyman. He helped to have my shower handler fixed. Instead of changing the entire handler; he recommended only cartridge replace is necessary. Of course, saving me $$$. Roger is CA licensed electrician. Insured and bonded. Great customer services; very responsive on inquires. Job is done on time with great quality and reasonable price. My home project won't get done without Roger's help. Highly recommend. read more

Roger was friendly when we initially contacted him and then he disappeared without answering phone or text. He could just tell us if he was too busy or other reasons. I don't consider him being professional and would not recommend him! read more

Highest review. Called for an appt. after losing power in a few rooms and outlets. Got a time and estimate, but the owner also asked that I send a picture of the breaker switches. From the picture I sent on my phone, he told me exactly what to do (flip one switch fully off then on). The power's restored thanks to him. He didn't visit or charge us - just a few short calls and all is restored. My mother and I deeply appreciate his help. read more

6 month ago- Needed help with electrical work for Restaurant. Provided me with choice of options. Fast, reliable and got the work done in no-time. Highly Recommended! Hiring Roger again for my current issue. read more

Roger is great. Hard working individual that takes pride in the work he does. When dealing with electricity, you cant go with anyone. I had a NEMA 14-50 installed and when he came to give me a quote and also told of issues I might expect with the current electrical set up I had. But he didnt encourage me to change everything and spend money. He was honest. We scheduled the install, communicated well when he was coming and took him less than 40min to install. During the install, we talked a lot about where he came from and how he got to where he is. He feels like he is very lucky where he is at now and how he got to where he is, and he appreciated the opportunity to not only make a living and support his family, but to also to help others. We talked about solar panels, power boxes, etc. he gave his honest opinion about everything. In addition to all of this, his quote was much lower than all the other quotes I got. I still have future electrical jobs to do, and he will be the one to call upon when it is time. Thanks Roger for the install and the wonderful chat. Take it easy and keep keeping it real! read more

He needs to be recognized more and he sure is getting business back from me AND my friends. read more
