First visit, he troubleshot a closet light that had lost its neutral behind a ceiling fan, tracked it down and reconnected it. He also diagnosed a dead 3-way switch in the hallway -- turned out the prior electrician had wired it wrong on a single pole -- and converted it properly to a 3-way. Knocked out a kitchen can light switch while he was at it. All done in about an hour. No other electrician was able to figure it out the closet light kerfuffle, but Victor did! Turns out he has nearly 30 years of experience! Second visit, Victor and Francisco came out to remove a 6" recessed can light and splice onto the switch leg to power a new ceiling fan I'd had installed. Clean work, everything labeled, no loose ends. Done in about 2.5 hours. Rates are fair ($125/hr), they show up when they say they will, and Victor clearly knows residential electrical inside and out -- he doesn't guess, he diagnoses. The kind of electrician you want working inside your walls. Highly recommend for anyone in the Peninsula area!

The breaking point was when the internet became unreliable because the power was unreliable and the stove stopped working. I contacted Alex and he said he could send someone over that same day. He was transparent about the pricing before the job began. When his team member (Ming) came over he was thorough and transparent about what he found and Alex came over to assess himself. Turns out one of the main line coming into the house on the verge of burning out and thus the other 110v line was trying to compensate which caused it to also overload. This explained why the 240 outlets were not functioning. Our electrical was just old and the age caught up. He gave a reasonable estimate and fixed it by the end of the day. In passing, I also mentioned that although our stove worked, it seemed that it's power fades as I use it more and he was able to determine that line was under gauged for the load and was a fire hazard. Looking up the prior setup before my recent renovation, I see that they had incorrectly reduced the stove line from 40amps to 30amps. Alex and team was able to solved that problem as well, giving me updates along the way and providing very easy to understand explanations. This was an annoying problem plaguing us for years! Again, the pricing is very reasonable and the quality of work is exceptional. I highly recommend Alex Tong and his team.

I am so impressed with this company. I called them and got Sara on the phone. I needed to hire an electrician for a small job at my condo that I rent out. Sara was so friendly and professional. I needed them to come out ASAP and she set it all up for me and made it so easy!! My tenant said the electrican showed up right on time and was very professional and friendly and did a great job. The best part is it cost exactly what Sara had predicted over the phone from what I was explaining the problem to be. The funny part of this is I called another company before I called Brillant Electric and that company George Venillini Electric was soooooooooo RUDE on the phone to me!!! I actually hung up on him and was so mad when I called the next place on the list from my google search and then I heard Sara's voice and she just so awesome!!! They will now always be our electrician and I will tell all my friends to call them too!!! Service this great is hard to find and I am soooo glad I found them!! read more

This company, and Frank Ramirez in particular, were recommended to me by a friend. There were scattered outlets that weren't working, and I had done what I needed to do, according to the man in the hardware store. After being quite unsuccessful, I called Frank...actually several times in one afternoon. He guided me thru other possible remedies which eventually worked. How often does any business give advice over the phone, gratis? This experience has sold me on "Go Brilliant". When I need extensive work, you can be sure I'll call them again. I can't say enough about Frank's courteousness and explicit suggestions. read more
