Great electrician to do your hot tub- he clearly has so much experience with them! It's important to get a guy for hot tub who won't just do the wiring but actually get the tub to start and this was exactly that. He did our Sundance tub we bought from paradise valley spas. He also used PVC in the job since we're near the beach which we appreciated. $300 an hour for his services- pricey but worth it read more

Mike is very professional in his work. He knows his field very well, and he communicates clearly. We had 2 older style dimmers, which he quickly replaced, which solved our flickering pendant light problem. He also spent time educating me about our breaker box. read more

Mike is responsive, knows his stuff, and efficient. Good guy, too. Has all the right tools, comes on time, and tidies up afterwards. No bits of wrappers or packaging lying around. read more

Mike is clear about the work to be preformed. On time and right to work until finished. Work quality is excellent. Mike is also a very nice guy. Use his service and you wont be disappointed. read more

I called San Mateo Electric to get a bid to install LED under counter lights in our kitchen. He said he could do it and their hourly rate was $300.00 per hour. I thouht that rate was way too high! read more

We've had 2 ceiling fans installed by San Mateo Electric and couldn't be happier with the work. They respond right away, show up when they say they will, and did the work efficiently. I highly recommend them. read more

Mike Delfino has 35 years of experience and is a consummate professional. Mike spent 1.5 calling different supply stores to locate a part that was difficult to find and managed to have the part ready the next day. He replaced the guts of the panel with ease. I could tell Mike is a very resourceful person and is an extremely capable electrician.  When Mike is at the job, I can relax and know that he will get the job done right. read more

We suffered a power outage that selectively knocked out our furnace-A/C system and our television. I called San Mateo Electric and arranged for someone to come out the following afternoon since we're in a heat wave. Mike answered the phone and was the person who came out to our house. Instead of coming in the afternoon, he called in the morning and asked if it was convenient for him to come earlier (which it was). We had PG&E come out the previous day (as Mike suggested) who confirmed that it was an internal problem and not one involving our breaker box. Mike was quickly able to identify the faulty switchbox in our home and rewire it. He was quick and corrected the problem rapidly. Great service! We will use them again if we have any electrical issues. read more

Had a circuit break trip that would not reset. Called and spoke with Mike and he walked me through getting it reset (push as hard as you can on the reset lever as it is mechanical and sometimes requires a lot of force to reset it, it eventually reset and now works). read more

I highly recommend Mike Delfino. I called him during the holidays with a small, small job that was highly inconvenient with kids home and the holiday rush. But Mike was very kind and helped me in the quickest most reasonable way. And the house is back. to normal now. I will definitely call him again for any other needs, big or small. read more

Do you want an expert electrician, with 35 years of experience, straight shooter, and trustworthy? If so, call Mike at San Mateo Electric. I had a kitchen fire that burned out my oven, microwave, and some kitchen cabinets. The first electrician that I had come by from a large company (which will go un-named), estimated that I had to totally replace my main panel and sub-panel and all feeder circuits, upgrading from 100 Amp capacity to 125 Amp capacity. The next day, I had Mike come by. He assessed the electric panels, my electric use, and concluded they are fine. I've got at least several more years of service (probably more) to be expected from the existing electric panels. I saved over $15,000. read more

Mike is great. I had a circuit breaker problem. He diagnosed over the phone it for me and told me how to fix it. Which I did.

Mike successfully diagnosed my problem --over the phone-- in under 30 seconds. We hung up, I followed his directions, and my back bathroom outlet works again! His experience with and knowledge of how my particular condominium complex on the San Francisco Peninsula is wired saved me the cost of a consultation which probably would have run around $120 dollars. He is our new magical electric wizard and I will write his advice on the inside of my circuit breaker box to remind myself if this situation happens again. read more

Very knowledgeable staff. Well stocked. The store is easy to get to and they have a tube tester!

Mike was perfectly awesome to work with. All the elsewhere stated positives, definitely, but what I especially appreciated was Mike's willingness to work through challenges or issues together. Everything was completely resolved in the best possible way, and all at the originally quoted price! I highly recommend Mike. read more

The installers from Closets by Design accidently drilled a three inch screw into the main power line near my electrical panel box and created an obvious problem. I called an elctrician I had used in the past but he never returned my call. He still hasn't as a matter of fact. At any rate, I searched the yellow pages and was attracted to San Mateo Electric's ad which had a Better Business Bureau insignia. I called and, Mike came within an hour and was able to get into the wall, repair the damage and button up the hole. He marked where the stud was for the installers before leaving. Not only did Closets by Design offer to pay for the electrical work, but the two installers returned at 6:30 to complete the job. read more

We have been using San Mateo Electric for many years, first while living in the house and for the last five years while we rented it to tenants. The Company is fantastic. Mike the owner answers the phone himself, is punctual, works quickly, and great work is always performed. In our case that is all greatly appreciated as Landlords, because we live many miles away and have to do everything over the phone. We trust San Mateo Electric and highly recommend the Company! read more

Mike of San Mateo Electric does excellent work. He may not be the least expensive but I've found with electricians, you get what you paid for. He has done several jobs at my home and I've been very pleased each time. I won't hesitate to call him again or use him as a referral. Thanks Mike for jobs "well done"!!! read more

Mike Delfino is a professional. Responsive, communicates well, a master electrician, shows up on time and gets the job done. Will use Mike again and again! read more

DO NOT use this company!!!! They were supposed to come out to my house today between 1:00-3:30 PM. And they never showed up. So my husband called to see what was going on and they said they would not be able to come out until next week. Like what ???! Why the hell tell us you can come out then. What a POS of a company. Save your time and money people :) read more

We have had Mike Delfino do many electrical projects on our house over the past several years and are always impressed with his prompt, courteous, affordable and thorough service. Highly recommend! read more

Had a major electical problem going on in my house (too hard to explain here). I called an electrician that set an appointment and flaked on me two times. Then my neighbor recommended SAN MATEO ELECTRIC. I called at 7:00pm on a Friday night and the owner actually answered the phone, listened to my problem and even offered to come that night. We decided on a SATURDAY MORNING appointment. He called in the morning, said he was on his way, assessed the problem very quickly, fixed it with ease, and even pointed out a couple other potential problems. He was VERY reasonably price, prompt, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. I will definitely use him again and will pass on the recommendation to anyone that needs a quality electrician. read more

As the hot weather was upon us, I went to turn on the air conditioner for the first time in my new house. I was distraught to discover that the AC did not seem to work. I checked the fuses and everything seemed to be ok. So I called an HVAC company to take a look. They determined that the problem was electric and referred me to Mike and San Mateo Electric. Mike agreed to see me first thing the next morning. He arrived on time and was extremely professional. Mike diagnosed the problem quickly--there was no power running to the AC and that it had been disconnected from the main panel. Mike had the AC running again in a few hours. I think his pricing is fair and is a value based on MIke's professionalism and expertise. I would use them again. read more

Mike was referred by another electrician who wasn't comfortable doing the electrical work. He came out to give a free estimate the same day I called him. He was efficient and reliable when he came back to do the job. He has a good attitude and sense of humor. Moreover, he got in touch w PG&E on our behalf to resolve an issue we've been trying to resolve for 7 years. They came out and took care of it in a day. Thanks Mike! read more

This is the second time I have used San Mateo Electric and I will use them again. Owner Mike Delfino came when he said he would, did the work neatly and correctly and even vacuumed up after himself. I thought his pricing was fair and he was easy to work with. I highly recommend this company. read more

Mike is a super guy! He's positive, helpful, reliable and available. I look forward to hiring him on my next project!

We have used Mike for a couple jobs, the last being wiring for our EVSE to charge our Leaf. Mike does high quality, timely, affordable work with unquestionable integrity and service. Highly recommended. read more

I have used the services of San Mateo electric 2 times and have been pleased with the work - though felt the pricing was on the higher end. I used the service as he was there and could do the work - which I felt was worth the additional dollars. I called San Mateo Electric this week wanting a quote to redo the lighting in the majority of my house. I wanted canned / recessed lighting installed with dimmer switches. Mike made an appointment with me and I stated I had a hard stop within 45 mintues of the apt. He agreed on the time and said it wouldn't take that long. Well, I waited 45 mintues, he was a no show. As I was leaving the house, I called his answering service leaving a message that I was leaving my house. I immediately got a phone call from Mike. He had no excuse. "The day got away from me". It was a 9AM appointment. He was not considerate enough to call and tell me he would be late or even call to say he would be a no show. He asked to reschedule. I declined. I don't mind paying higher prices if the customer service is stellar. But to not show up without a call is unexcusable. read more

Very bad experience. Work not completed as promised, overcharges, stay away.

I used Mike the electrician to convert my 220 to 110 and add new outside lighting for our new hot tub. He was very professional, prompt and knowledgeable. I watched the whole process and asked a bunch of questions which he happily and patiently answered and explained. I liked his attention to detail unlike previous electrician I used. I would definitely use him in any future electrical work around my house. read more

We have used Mike a few times and have always had a great experience. Have recommended him to family and friends several times. They all come back and say what an awesome job he has done and what a nice guy he is. Thanks for all your hard work Mike!!!! read more

Mike at San Mateo Electric does a great job. He's on time, does what he says he's going to do and lets me know if there are any other problems that need to be dealt with. They're not the cheapest electricians out there, but you get what you pay for - quality work without worrying your house is going to burn down! read more
