Roger and his team were on it. I called a number of places and he really was the only one who was upfront. His pricing is reasonable and he manages all communication with PG and E. He came to upgrade my outside panel. Within 3 hours he passed and got approval from PG and E. Hire him for your electric needs. He also provided me temporary extension cord so I could still work from home. read more

We had two rooms without power in our house. After performing continuity test on all the circuit breakers using a multimeter, I still couldn't identify the problem (all the breakers and the GFCIs are functioning). I called here to see if I can get some professional help. Even though he wasn't available in person, Roger was extremely helpful over the phone. He very quickly identified the problem as likely to be a daisy chain connection issue in one of the outlets and was kind enough to provide me with detailed instructions on how to troubleshoot it over the phone!! As it turns out, the issue was indeed due to a lose wire nut on the hot wire in a light switch. Seems like this is one of those few places whose owner genuinely cares about solving customer issues (even for free over the phone!!), a rare find these days! read more

My experience with Roger is the same as the rest of the reviews, outstanding ! My tenant was complaining about the electrical breaker kept tripping when he had only two appliances were running in the heatwave days. I was eager to find a licensed electrician to figure out the problem asap, and I found Roger. Roger soon replied and scheduled the service, no delay and hassle. The quote is reasonable, the service is professional, the crew members are polite, I can't ask more! I appreciate their service and they willalways be my first choice. Thank you Roger read more

This summer we ask Roger to come to my us to set up my fireplace outlet! because his professional and his team are also skilled and efficiency! This hard work he did the perfect job and we can set up our electric fireplace! read more

I needed a car charger installed at garage, contacted several electricians and Roger gave me very quick response and replied in details including recommendations based on photos I sent him. Arrived on time per our appointment, he's super friendly and has a lot of knowledge, I proposed the car charger to be installed at a different location at first but Roger explained to me how that's not future proofing comparing the different plug-in position of hybrid/electric cars in the market, and demonstrated to me multiple use cases vs the cable length I have. So I took his advice, and he was on his own from then on, he originally said it would be completed within 2 hours but eventually it was only a little over an hour, super quick and nicely done, no damage to the wall, looks clean and neat. I will definitely go back to Formosa Electric for any electrical problems/needs in the future. read more

You can not image how amazing they are. Fast in response, fast in permit application, fast in replacement work, and last but not least, very reasonable price. My house get something wrong with the main panel. I have tried a few electrician for diagnostics and even the home warranty (totally useless). After all, I figure out that the issue is the main panel. Then I text him, quote and schedule all set within 2 hours. Roger keeps me posted for the permit progress on time and he show up on time as scheduled. Everything is finished within one day, with EVERYTHING done. I am really appreciating his help especially after all troubles that caused by my main panel and all the communication that I did with others. I would strongly recommend him to my friends if they are in trouble or need some help for electric. It's really lucky for me to find him as a reliable electrician and get all things done before Thanksgiving. Otherwise I will be sit in a dining room for the dinner with inconsistent power supply at my home. read more

We were having issues with our 1950s main panel. Our breaker tripped and it wouldn't reset. All the other companies I call wanted to send someone out in a few days and charge just for taking a look. Roger from Formosa electric was able to talk me through it over the phone. Weeks later I scheduled to have our main panel replaced and install a Tesla wall charger. Their work was outstanding. Started at 8am, had electricity back on by 2pm. They had the timing down perfectly with PGE and the city inspectors. They even brought portable generators so we could keep our fridge and freezer plugged in while the main power was off For the Tesla wall charger, I wanted something specific with a 60A breaker and conduit wiring. Even though it was more work for them, Roger was totally understanding and flexible in accommodating my request. I wouldn't go with anyone else. They are super knowledgeable and professional. Everything was cleaned up perfectly and Roger was just a great guy to chat with and get advice about solar, etc... I've never had a better interaction with Calling someone to work on our house.

Roger and his team are amazing. We had really old EDISON fuse boxes installed in our closet, which is probably not the best thing you want to see in your house 2020. We called Roger to check if we can replace the whole fuse box and upgrade our meters to 200A. After his first visit, he gave us the quote. The quotes are reasonable. He was also really responsive to any question we asked through SMS. On the construction date, the team prepared a generator, so we can still have power while they were working. Originally, the work would need 2 days to complete. But they were able to complete it in a day. Overall, Roger and the team are professional, always ensuring having clear communication before any critical construction work. We're super happy having Roger to work on our house. read more

I called to request someone come to my home to inspect my kitchen outlets that had stopped working. I was sure that I had checked all the breakers. Roger walked me through resetting all my outlets first, and then when that didn't work and I sent him pictures. He called me back and told me he spotted the breaker issue and helped me reset it. Two phone calls and text message support. I've called an electrician in the past and been charged $200 to look at the kitchen outlets that had a simple fix. Thank you Roger for being kind enough to know the solution was simple and not charge me for a stuck breaker that I could fix myself! I will definitely call Roger again if I have an issue that isn't as easily resolved and does need a visit. read more

Just moved in to a place with a couple outlets not functioning. Called Formosa and was told to double check if they were on the "on switch" but that was not the issue.

He was also super responsive on texts, which we appreciated. We're very happy with our new charger. :) read more
