You see, once upon a time, this lil Yelper received a quote from another electrician. This man, let's call him "Alex" quoted me the most reasonable price to install an additional electrical outlet in order to bring my early 20th century home into the modern era. What's more, Alex agreed to come within a week's time. "That's perfect," I thought, "this means the new outlet will be installed just in time for me to watch the newest episode of Mad Men on my new *flat screen tv* in its most opportune location, opposite my comfy, cozy, new sofa!" Whoaaa nelly, before any of you get all excited and ask, "Hey, why aren't you reviewing Alex, then? I mean, he facilitated you watching Mad Men right on time, dude!" -- I have some very bad news. "Alex the Electrician" never showed up that foggy, cold SF morning. This was much to my dismay, of course, as I'd rearranged my entire schedule AND took off work to meet him at my humble abode. Four angry messages, and countless desperate internet -- and Yelp -- searches later, I came across one friendly and efficient Mr. Hai Lin. Hai Lin deserves the four-star rating I gave him because: (1) He ACTUALLY picked up the phone when I called (imagine that, no voicemail!). (2) He gave me a reasonable estimate over the phone right then and there. (3) He agreed to come and help me out that day. (4) He was EARLY for the appointment. (5) He cleaned everything up and was respectful of my sweet lil pad. (6) He actually did a really nice job and was friendly to boot! So, that is how "Hai Lin Electric" came to be my electrician, and finally got posted onto Yelp. Thank you Hai Lin!

I wish I didn't have to offer this middling review. Harry did fix an outlet problem that I thought…read morewould require new hardware, but turns out was not required. However, I sense that other electricians could have achieved the same result. One star because I called him late one Sunday afternoon to schedule an appointment, and it turned out that he was available immediately that evening and quoted a price over the phone that was reasonable. It seems that he will work with your schedule, which is good. Oh god. Twenty minutes before our appointed time, I get a call from him and he asks whether I have a ladder. Hmmm, is this not an essential piece of equipment in an adequately prepared electrician's van? I did have one and told him to come over and use ours. Though he had expressly called to ask whether I had a ladder, and after mentioning its location in the house twice and even showing him where in the garage it was, he proceeded to remove his well-worn sandals, climb onto our dining table barefoot, plant his feet on the table linens and walk on top of the furniture! After insisting that he USE THE LADDER, he stayed on for another two hours and then informed us that he would have to come back the next day to finish the job because he didn't have the right tools. I have no doubt that he works earnestly, but no standing on our furniture with stinky feet, please And it took two days to install a two-pendant light fixture.

Not only was the quote very high, but their suggested approach was extremely complex and would have involved tearing down walls and tearing my yard. Then I remembered that I'd had a positive experience with Chasov Electric several years ago so I reached out. Michael came out to inspect our property and immediately proposed a much simpler and more cost effective solution. He took photos on his tablet and sent mockups of his proposed design in advance. Harry and Alex completed the project and they were delightful to work with. They arrived on time, confirmed details and decisions with me throughout the day, and carefully inspected all their work prior to departing. I'm very happy with how the work turned out. I can't speak highly enough about the professionalism and creativity of Chasov Electric. They are true engineers and "electrical magicians." I would definitely recommend them, especially for any projects requiring creative or complex electrical solutions!

I hired him for a project that was very hard for us to schedule, but he said that he could do it at the end of the day the next Sunday, after completing another job.

I worked with Gareth through my contractor on a remodel for my place during 2021-2022. I was…read moresatisfied with the quality of the work him and his team did. A little more than a year afterwards, I was having trouble with a pair of outlets in my kitchen, and one in my garage stopped working. I called to ask them to come check them out. The garage was a dumb mistake on my part - it was one of the ones with a switch on the outlet itself that had flipped, so that was just a matter of pushing the button. The kitchen outlets we weren't able to reproduce the issue, but he gave me an estimate of a few hours of work to change out those outlets for the types with switches. I was really surprised to be hit with a $260 bill for this short visit of less than 10 minutes where no work was done besides pushing a button and giving me a rough estimate. I am sensitive to not wasting the time of his team, and understand why companies charge a service fee for home visits. I was just really surprised by the amount of the charge, especially given the existing relationship, and that this was pertaining to work his team had installed. I asked if this charge would be credited towards the work that was estimated, and he said he would give me a 15% discount on it rather than a credit (which would amount to far less money given only a couple hours of work). I asked if he would forgive the amount given the prospect of maintaining the business relationship but he said only if we do work within the next month. I paid the bill and let him know we wouldn't be doing business again.
