Ben was easy to work with and very kind. We had an issue while trying to set up our internet so we got connected to Sepanta. After about an hour of investigating, Ben explained that the job would be extremely complex. In the end, he simply evaluated the issue for us. We really appreciated his honesty and his clear, quick communication. If we have any electrical issues in the future, I would definitely reach out to him again. read more

Sepanta Electric - Exceptional Full House Rewire I hired Sepanta Electric for a complete home electrical rewire, and the experience exceeded expectations from start to finish. Ben was a pleasure to work with -- patient, communicative, and flexible through multiple change orders without ever making the process feel complicated. The scope of work was extensive: upgrading the main panel from 100A to 200A, installing 2 subpanels, and connecting a 28.8kW electric water heater. Despite the complexity, the project came in on time and on budget with zero delays. What really sets Ben apart is that he works hands-on alongside his team during the electrical work -- a rarity that translates directly into savings for the customer and tighter quality control. After getting 6 competing quotes, Sepanta came in at a fair price without cutting corners. Highly recommend Ben and the Sepanta Electric team for any project, big or small. read more

Absolutely had a great experience with Ben and his crew, just excellent!! Honesty, great at there trade, a lost art nowadays, not with Ben, so refreshing! Thank you guys. read more

Ben came for a consult. He was friendly and thorough, he actually opened up the panels to look at the wiring (which no other consults did), and gave me the information I needed to make a decision. We actually decided to delay our planned work based on his assessment, but will certainly have Sepanta at the top of our list when the time comes! read more

Looked no further, you have found the ultimate electrician with a very good price and impeccable service. Ben installed lights in my ceilings, which were very high. He stayed in great communication throughout the job, came back for some touchup things and I couldn't be happier. He really cares about his customers, never says no, and it was a fair price I felt. read more

Ben was amazing. We did a main panel and service upgrade with underground power lines. He came out and provided a very fair quote and upon moving forward, he was very clear with the work that was to be done. In addition, he asked questions that pertained to my future usage so he could make adjustments to the install now (such as a solar ready main panel vs regular main panel). Ben was extremely patient and accommodating through a very poor PG&E project management process, often having to come over with very short notice. Couldn't have asked for anything more. read more

I had called a few electricians from Yelp to ask about replacing a GFCI outlet. Sepanta had by far the best understanding that it was a simple problem, did not try to set up an oversell with a "free estimate" first, and had by far the best price. The tech showed up on time, replaced the outlet, gave me a few tips about using our countertop appliances, and went on his way. I will certainly call them again if I need other work. read more

We had Sepanta help us install our ceiling fan (after we tried ourselves and failed). They gave me a quote through Yelp and came on the agreed date and time two weeks later. They were friendly and courteous and got it installed quickly. In the end, they actually charged me less than what was quoted, because they said they didn't have to use something that was included in the quote. I really appreciated the honesty, because they could have easily charged me the original amount and I probably wouldn't have realized it. I'll always recommend Sepanta for anyone looking for an electrician! read more

They were supposed to come out between 4 to 5pm (not just anytime after 4pm) for an estimate. No show. I had to contact them well after 5pm on yelp, "I rushed back home today to make sure I would make our appointment. I guess you aren't interested." Later he responded, "Yes, i changed my plans as well to match the time with your availability because i was done with the last appointment by 3:30 and went to my home and I'm coming with my personal car now and 5 min away." I replied, "don't bother." A courtesy phone call if you're gonna be late is appropriate. read more

On time, and corrected a mistake with no issues (I wanted a recessed outlet for my TV but a flush outlet was installed at first). They gave me a fair price as well. read more

Had a great experience with Sepanta! Electrician specialist Ben was great to work with: communicative, clear, professional, punctual & very knowledgeable. The charge was very fair, and we will definitely contact Sepanta again for future electrical projects. read more

Great service, good work, and very clean. I've hired them a couple times to do a lot of work, and will definitely hire them again in the future. read more

Very honest and straightfword. Excellent precise work for creating a new outlet. Had to explain and work through our four way switch setup and ended up with a new outlet off a different circuit at a lower price . Well hidden and fine workmanship read more

This was my second time working with them. Prompt, thorough and great work as always. Thanks guys!

Highly recommend. Ben helped us replace our chandelier. He was competent and friendly. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again next time I need help. read more

The team was very professional installing a new chandelier in our staircase. Very satisfied with the result. read more

Sepanta Electric - New chandelier from MOD LIGHTING. - Electricians Near Me

Dear San Mateo neighbors, this is yet another 5 star review for an excellent local company. Ben and his team at Sepanta honestly quoted me for a fairly straight forward job. New LED cans in three bedrooms, motion activiated exterior lights, troubleshooting some bad outlets here and there. Communications before and during were excellent. His team of three, including Ben as the owner, did the work in one day. They left the rooms spotless. Everything that I was expecting was delivered precisely as asked. They did leave one large box of debris near my trash cash but I suppose that is normal versus them schlepping it away themselves. I could not be happier with the level of service and professionalism. Highly recommend. read more

I recently used Ben and Sepanta Electric for three jobs at my house: install a large 8ft-tall chandelier, another large, fragile fixture, and install two additional outlets in a pantry and a closet. I highly recommend Ben and Sepanta. He responded quickly on Yelp, came by the same day, and gave me an estimate the next day. His estimate was the best of three, so I scheduled him. He showed up at the agreed upon time with his assistant. The job was difficult, and I requested some changes midway he could have charged me for, but he was gracious and didn't. He did a great job. On top of that he's friendly and courteous. read more

See all

I can *strongly* recommend Ben and team. I got quotes from 5 electricians to install an EV charger (with new dedicated circuit/lines), a new 10A circuit with 3 outlets installed in the garage, 3 new outlets in my dining area, a new outlet on my stairs for a dedicated night light, and 2 new outlets in my bathrooms for powered bidet seats. Ben came back quickly with a quote and had the best price. Ben and crew showed up exactly on time and the work is great. I'm *very* pleased with how it all went. read more

Be careful of this company. Online they had quoted me a flat rate of $300 to fix issues. After they came and saw where I lived, the electrician quoted me $450 without having done any troubleshooting at all . This company is dishonest read more

Didn't show up at agreed time - we waited until 730pm on a Friday afternoon/ night. It does look like they do not honor agreements and respect other's time. read more

Sepanta Electric - Electricians Near Me

Their license is online and they had all five star reviews. They are practically around the corner from the place that I am selling that needed some repairs prior to close. They were very nice and changed the date due to the storming weather I didn't want to drive almost 200 miles in and were right on time. They fixed everything they were supposed to, and I even threw in one more plug to fix. The price was reasonable (it was a little more work than any of us had anticipated ( electrical box too, fixed in minutes!) so the cost went up slightly, but expected and reasonable. They were very efficient and fast. Would definitely recommend them to anyone. read more

Sepanta Electric - Part of the work, new baseboard heaters - Electricians Near Me

We requested services for installing security cameras around our house and Ben's quote came at a reasonable price as compared to others. They were professional and informed us of all the decisions they were making as they installed the camera and gave us options where we wanted to place them based on coverage. The completed service with minimal disruption and needed little assistance getting around the house. It was raining and they still managed to finish the job in time. We noticed one of the jobs had a small opening for the wire holes where camera was installed that could let critter, rodents in and this was months after the job. We messaged Ben and he responded immediately and promptly fixed the issue with no extra charge or any fuss. We are very happy with their service and will look to use their service again in the future. read more

called sepanta a few months back to change the chandelier hanging from a high ceiling -- the owner ben responded quickly via text and was able to give me a flat estimate after i sent some pictures of the room -- they had some trouble initially with the height but went an rented a huge ladder from home depot and got the job done. so when i wanted to change out the bathroom fan for something newer i called them again -- and got the same great service. both times the cost was very reasonable, they did quality work, and left everything clean. read more

Made a service appointment for the installation of six (6) new LED exterior fixtures with Sepanta Electric. Ben, the owner, and his team member showed up "on-time" with full knowledge of what was needed to be done. They completed the job efficiently and the price was fair. Five stars. No upsell. No surprises. No disappointments. Thank you Spanta Electric and Yelp! read more

RIP OFF! Stay away! Charged $300 for changing ONE breaker. Approx. 30 mins of work. Edit: no rate was confirmed. read more

We have so many things going on during our renovation - exterior electrical, interior electric, HVAC, plumbing, demolition... It was a giant relief choosing to work with Ben and his team at Sepanta Electric. It was one of the few things that took away our stress rather than added to it! They handled upgrading our exterior main panel (and added a subpanel). After working with many contractors and getting various quotes, we chose and were happy with Sepanta for these reasons: - Quote was reasonable. Wasn't "too" cheap or "too" expensive. Fell right within what we expected to spend on the project. The proposal was professional. - Ben was very easy to communicate with and responsive via email and phone. He was always on time, showed up when he said he would, and followed up when he said he would. - Scope of work was very clear, and was completed within the estimated time. For us, this included the labor, materials, and permitting. Even after payment, Ben offered to come back to create some temporary solutions for us to make things easier during the renovation. Really appreciate this, as some people will just go radio silent once you've paid them. I highly recommend Sepanta Electric. read more

I wanted some basic electrical work done (install outdoor lights, power outlet) done. Loved, loved working with Sepanta! They were so professional and polite. They had to install new light so needed to drill holes in the exterior walls, etc and just did such a neat job. I was beyond impressed! When the rain delayed their start date, they ensured they came back as soon as they could. Highly recommend working with this company! read more

I actually have a go-to electrician, but he is usually booked up for a month. That said, I used my Yelp app to request a quote for a small electrical type of project. As soon as I clicked on "Request a Quote" on my app, I noticed that Sepanta Electric was tagged with a "Responds in about 10 minutes" message. In my mind I was thinking there is NO way that is accurate. Low and behold, Ben from Sepanta Electric sent me a text requesting my address within 5 minutes. If that isn't FAST, I don't know what is! We began to exchange a few texts, and Ben agreed to swing by to give me an accurate estimate. My project was to add an additional outlet in my garage, which would be used to charge a vacuum. Ben arrived on time, we agreed on a price, and he executed FLAWLESSLY! The outlet was perfectly mounted, and I tested it to make sure it was fully functional. I now have a NEW go-to electrician. read more

Sepanta Electric - Electricians Near Me

We hired them for a panel upgrade and EV charger install. We selected Ben and team from over 7 bids for the right mix of experience with local authorities and cost. They set the right permit and timeline expectations. Always showed up on time for work and inspections and delivered high quality work on time. We'll go back to them for anything electrical. read more

I hired Ben and his team to do a panel replacement / service upgrade and full rewire of the old knob and tube wiring in my newly purchased home. Ben really went above in beyond in his service. Some callouts: * They handled all of the city inspection and permitting process and passed inspections on the first try. * They did additional work for us without needing to draft new contracts. For example, they installed a smart doorbell for us (with transformer upgrade) and redid some previously existing unsafe bathroom wiring for free. I really appreciate their dedication to the craft and safety. * They made the effort to patch larger holes in the drywall that they made as part of the rewiring work. I did not expect an electrician to make any effort in patching holes so I was pleasantly surprised. In summary, Ben and the team did great work and cared a lot about doing the job right, without obsessing over squeezing out every dollar they could. I'll definitely be reaching out to them in the future for electrical projects and repairs. read more

Ben is great! I scheduled an estimate, and during the estimate, he helped me solve two outstanding questions on the spot even though he was just there for a free estimate: He figured out that I had a light switch in the garage hidden behind the fridge that controlled the garage light I had been trying to figure out how to control. He also figured out that one of the switches I wanted to replace had Romex wire with a neutral wire, and the other was knob and tube without a neutral wire. This enabled me to replace one of the switches with a wifi switch myself thus saving me money. Now keep in mind all this is without charging one cent. That's the kind of guy that Ben is - he is happy to help and impart quick knowledge, even though he would have been perfectly in his rights to include troubleshooting the garage light and identifying the wiring in the switches in his estimate rather than helping me without charging me. On top of that, his estimate came in lower than other estimates I got, and he was able to complete the job by himself in five hours. He installed a new fan box and ceiling fan, replaced two switches and made them wifi, removed an old bathroom exhaust fan and installed a new bathroom exhaust fan, installed a new outlet in the attic and drilled holes to run charger cables out to security cameras that I had pre-mounted, ran the cables, connected the cameras, and caulked up the holes afterwards. He also inspected the attic electrical and closed up 4 open junction boxes. Two other companies I had gotten estimates from wanted to charge me for two guys over two days to get this work done. So basically Ben is friendly, generous with his time and knowledge, and really affordable. He is super experienced, skilled, and fast - those go together I think. Can't recommend him highly enough. read more

We called them in the morning and they were able to respond in a very timely fashion. We had to have a weather head replaced and had to co-ordinate with PG&E, they were very accommodating. They did excellent work, although a little on the pricey side. We would use them again. read more

Ben came to give me an estimate to upgrade my electrical service panel. He explained what the project would involve. The project would require PG&E to replace underground conduit which would be very expensive $5-$10 grand and another $4 grand for the service panel. He would not recommend an upgrade. He also gave me some good advice on my future projects. Although I didn't hire them I appreciate Ben and his advice and wouldn't hesitate to call Sepanta if needed in the future. read more

We have used Sepanta Electric to relocate our electric panel from closet to garage, change all the old wiring, replace old recess ceiling lights to LED, and install new outlets. Ben has been very responsive and his team has gone above and beyond to complete the work on time. We are super happy with their work! Highly recommended! read more

Excellent service and diagnostics. Located and repaired short circuit. Would hire again

Wow! Ben was awesome! We needed to fix a recessed light that died. We talked to other electricians who made the job way more difficult than it needed to be. Then we met Ben. Super knowledgable. He had an easy, can-do attitude. I'm so happy to have a reliable, dependable electrician. The job was well done, quickly and professionally. I would use Ben for all our electrical needs. Highly recommend!! read more

Ben came by to replace 2 pendants above my countertop. 2 stars for being punctual. Unfortunately the pendants were damaged so we couldn't move forward with the job. Here are the reasons for my dissatisfaction: Contrary to other reviews, which state that Ben was respectful and wore booties in their home, he did not wear booties in mine (during pandemic time) and he stepped his dirty sneaker on top of my clean countertop. He also appeared rushed/ irritable when I was trying to decide on the pendant height. Then after placing the old pendant back he charged me $150 for 30 mins of his time. This is contrary to other reviews that said he didn't charge them for coming out to do a simple job. Ultimately, I won't be calling this vendor back. read more

I had an emergency situation with my sump pump and also some mystery sockets that were not working. Ben got here super quickly, he figured out where the short was coming from, and why some of my sockets mysteriously stopped working and prevented my home from flooding. He quoted me quickly and then showed up promptly and explained everything. Highly recommended!!! read more

Ben from Sepanta came in last week to check out our EV charger. After troubleshooting he figured out that the issue was with the charger. He replaced it with another charger that we had. His work was meticulous. He cleaned up and tidied everything making the experience great. Based on his performance we had him come in this weekend to run an additional outlet, and replace the exhaust fan in our bathroom. Once again he did a great job. Ben is not cheap but he is on time, is very methodical, does the job perfectly and leaves the work area clean. I would highly recommend him. read more
