Geoff is a no-nonsense, get-it-done professional who knows what he is doing. Always talk to Ronda for scheduling.

There is no doubt that Geoff is a master electrician. His experience, expertise, and professionalism astonish. He diagnosed a fairly serious electrical problem on the PG&E line to our home, which helped them get it right and fixed. Wish we had found him years ago. Wouldn't let anyone else but Geoff do upgrades in our home. Thanks to Rhonda, too! Her expertise shared by phone made a huge difference to us. read more

I have a Montclair district home built in 1927. The original 90-year old main panel needed to be replaced which meant moving it from one side of the house to the other in order to meet code. This job included having to move the power line to the other side of the house too. To me this all was a very big deal. To Geoff it was a walk in the park. Job took two days with loss of power off for less than 5 hours. It was a very positive experience that I had worried needlessly about and the job handily passed PGE inspection. Rhonda was a perfect intermediary. read more

I cannot recommend Geoff highly enough. We decided to install a projector, projector screen and surround sound speakers in the walls of our home and as the project proceeded it became apparent our old home had all sorts of nasty surprises for our installers, which required the services of an electrician. Geoff was on time for the site visit and offered a quote quickly. Then, because we had the installers on site, Geoff inconvenienced himself and rushed over on a day he had other work to complete (and had told us previously he probably couldn't make it that day). Then, when the installers accidentally clipped an electrical wire, Geoff found himself with more work to do and was well within his rights to charge us significantly more than he quoted us. You know what he did instead? He took $200 off his originally quoted price because he and I had a nice conversation about life and the holidays and because Geoff is a genuinely decent person. We've heard lots of horror stories about hiring people to do work on your house and it was really something to have such a great experience. Geoff knows his stuff, he works fast and he works hard. He did a great job and we will definitely call him again next time we need any electrical work. Thanks Geoff! read more

Great service! Was able to schedule a Saturday appointment easily, Geoff came and got through my little list of items quickly and efficiently. Super knowledge and good with dogs too. Will call again. So glad to have found this local shop as I have struggled to find an electrician that is responsive. read more

Geoff'' Came out and personally did a excellent job'' I was able to pass electrical inspection with the City of Oakland the first time'' I would use Williams Electric again'' read more

Luckily, my problem was easily taken care of,but I would not hesitate to call Geoff for any electrical needs.

We had an outdoor electrical outlet which wasn't working. It's been on the to do list for months since it's tough to schedule house maintenance around work schedules. Called Jeff Saturday morning around 10AM and he was here by 1130AM. Had the outlet replaced and circuit breaker fixed in 20 minutes. Couldn't ask more! read more

My landlord called Williams Electric to replace an outdated circuit breaker box in my unit. I'm glad he contacted them! Geoff arrived at my unit on time and went straight to work. He's a cool guy and really knows his stuff. He also gave my dog some quality treats when he had the time. I (and my dog) would definitely recommend Williams Electric. read more

He is a pro. Very through and professional. I appreciated all of the preventative work that he did at my home.

Geoff and Rhonda are fantastic. I called them and Geoff squeezed me into his packed day, showing up within minutes. He clearly knows his stuff. Looking forward to working with them on installing an electric vehicle charging station at our residence. read more

Williams Electric did a great job on helping me troubleshoot my issue with the electricity and pg&e. Cannot thank you enough!!

Called Williams Electric for a knob/tube wiring inspection in attic. Geoff did inspection, and agreed to check few other problems in house as part of inspection. Our electrical sub-panel was shorting circuits, and he outlined a replacement strategy. Geoff has been doing this 25+ years and really knew his stuff. No nonsense get-to-it attitude, and very concerned about safe results. He is willing to explain the electrical layouts/circuit load details which I appreciated. Also is great with dogs. Ronda does all the scheduling and paperwork, and was always responsive. Got the additional work done quick, and helped me pull the sub-panel permit on my own. Very pleased with the work! read more

Geoff Williams is an electrical pro. He replaced my electrical house service, added all new circuit breakers and installed many new plugs and GFIs through our home (in many very difficult locations); and ran two new circuits to the garage as well. He reapir many marginal junctions in my crawl space. He also ran new coax through the house. His prices are fair, he completed the work on our agreed schedule, and cleaned up thoroughly when the job was completed. I am very pleased with and confident in his work. read more

We contacted Williams Electric from Yelp and we are very disappointed. We received one text back on 10/9/15 indicating they would contact us and a woman named Rhonda did call a day or two later indicating she would email me to set up an appointment. That was 5 days ago and we have heard nothing more. Horrible customer service. read more

When we bid on a fixer in Richmond, Williams Electric did the initial inspection and I was impressed by how detailed the report was so I decided to go with Geoff after we took possession. It was such a mess ...from the old General Pacific 50 amp panel to the creative do-it-yourself wiring by previous owners..half the sockets and switches didn't work at all and power to the stove and microwave was intermittent. But Geoff tracked down and eliminated all the gremlins. He took care of every concern and then some. When I asked what kind of lighting he would suggest for the garage (we had one measly bulb) he suggested and installed 2 eight-foot fluorescents end to end down the center of the garage ceiling. The difference is literally night and day! Geoff really knows his stuff and thanks to him I feel safe in my new home. Plus he was very sweet to my cat. Boy did she love him! I highly recommend Geoff! read more

Had a great experience with Williams Electric. They offered fast, responsive service (returned initial call almost immediately), offered very helpful troubleshooting, and set us up with an appointment within hours, even on a Saturday!! Geoff identified and fixed our problem right away. Would definitely use their services again. read more

Geoff Wiiliams was available and did show up on time. Those were the two positives. I was not pleased with the quality of the work for the price and the area where he worked was not cleaned up. The outlet he installed was crooked and it did not match the other outlets in color or style. The low quality plastic plug he put on the outside of the wall was only partially inserted so it did not stay in. I was hoping the contractors who wired my house were available because they did a fantastic job and had great attitudes (but they were busy doing other large jobs). Geoff seemed gruff and impatient and made a comment about Hispanics taking his work. I think it may be the quality of his work that is taking his work . . . read more

Geoff and Rhonda rocked it! I was in big trouble with a baby and all power to my home out. Geoff left a big job to come to me same day, and I know that was a big deal because I couldn't get anyone to come! Not only did he work quickly and efficiently, but he made our home safer. He and Rhonda know the ins and outs of working with PG&E and with the city to pass inspections. They make a great team, and if you have a baby, prepare for those little feet to get some kisses! I very highly recommend Williams Electric and will refer them to all. read more

We lost power at our home while we were traveling out of state. After being notified of the problem by our tenants, we contacted Williams Electric on a Saturday morning. Their response was amazing: They diagnosed our problem, arranged temporary power for our tenants and then made the necessary major repair the next day--all while we were gone. Highly recommended! read more

Geoff came out on a SUNDAY morning to replace a faulty circuit breaker we had in our house. He was fast, friendly and efficient and we will definitely use him again for any future electrical needs. read more

We had an untimely power outage associated with the recent high winds. We needed an emergency repair and Jeff came out in less than an hour. He quickly assessed the situation, figured out what was going on, did everything he could do, then told us to call PGE for some additional emergency service (we called while he was still at our place). Jeff handled everything carefully and expeditiously. We highly recommend their service. read more

I can't say enough about how impressed I was by Geoff and Ronda at Williams Electric. Fast, professional, courteous, knowledgeable, caring and honest -- you can't ask for more. I will be using Williams Electric again. read more

Geoff was great! He was on time, got all the fix-it projects done fast, and made it very easy. Plus, we have some cats that are usually really nervous around strangers. He took the time to say hello, so they didn't get stressed out. I give him a bug thumbs up! read more

After calling several electricians and either getting no response or being told they were booked for the next three months out, I got a callback from Ronda a couple hours after I left a message. I had just a few small miscellaneous electrical tasks, and she said Geoff was available the next day for an hour to stop by. Geoff quickly and expertly fixed some miswired switches and installed new ones, and provided a quote on some lighting, all for a flat fee. It can be hard to find someone willing to take on such a small job (really hard, actually), and the expertise we got was well worth it. Based on their website and reviews it seems they certainly have done many, much larger projects as well. We'll definitely call them again for any future electrical needs. read more

When it came to choosing our electrician in charge of our part in the neighborhood undergrounding project in the Berkeley Hills, Geoff Williams came out hands down to be our best choice. Now that it is finished I can only confirm it. The workmanship, the pricing, the scheduling, the communication were tops. (Do people realize the importance of communication when dealing with contractors?) Anyway, it all worked out fabulously well, take my word! read more

Geoff and Ronda Williams provided me with prompt and expert advice and service electrically updating my home in Montclair. Completely new to the area, I found their company on Yelp. Lucky me! I would definitely recommend Williams Electric. read more

I called in the afternoon -- he was there the next morning, even though it was not an urgent job. Routed my new outlet as requested and helped me with an additional small job without charging for it. Good guy -- happy to work with him again. read more

Geoff came out to look at my laundry room wiring because my new dryer wasn't working. He ended up diagnosing a much bigger issue and helping me get PG and E out to fix my power situation. I do not know what I would have done without his help. For less than $300 I got a serious problem taken care of and his work was both thorough and professional. He also called to follow up after the fact to make sure things were working properly. My experience with Williams electric really put my mind at ease. read more

Geoff was a pleasure to work with, and the quality of his work was excellent. He brought a few outlets up to code by grounding, replaced another outlet and helped find the problem with our kitchen light burning out. Very knowledgeable, super helpful in explaining things, pointing out code violations, and providing a full story so we understood the decisions we were making. We will definitely call Geoff again when we have electrical or lighting issues. read more

Geoff has been coming to my house over the years doing varied electrical work. I rely on his honesty and expert understanding of old house electrical problems and fixes. read more

Geoff is the best. He rewired our 1934 house and killed it. I've had 3 friends (who I respect) independently comment positively on the quality of the work. I'd also say Geoff is fearless- wiring older houses isn't easy and there's surprises all the time, our house included. Geoff came in, respected our picky requests and delivered the results and now our house feels new again. He did it on time and on price. Thanks again. read more

Excellent. One stop shopping for electrical work. Was not only an expert but was willing to be patient while someone, me, stood around in hopes of learning a little. This is rare, as most professionals do not want to be bothered with anyone around. You can't go wrong with Geoff. He goes beyond the call of duty in expertise and workmanship. read more

I was lucky to discover Geoff from Williams Electric. He came over quickly in an emergency, solved my problems and discovered a potentially very dangerous situation in one of my fixtures. He was very communicative and helpful as well as extremely knowledgeable and fast. He came back to install a new fixture, install a fan/light and move a fixture to new location. Excellent work, all around. I will not need to find a new electrician as I am completely satisfied with his job skills, demeanor and paying extra attention to my dogs. Can't recommend highly enough! read more

We had another great experience with Williams Electric. Our furnace was not running and it appeared to be an electrical issue. Williams Electric came out and resolved the problem (bad breakers) in about 10 minutes. No-nonsense, fast and thorough. Five stars is not enough. read more

Friday night - half the outlets in my 1926 bungalow blow out. An hour later refrigerator and washer/dryer go dark...help. I call Williams Electric, Ronda keeps me calm, talks me though a diagnosis of the situation - fridge, washer/dryer back on in less than an hour. 8am Saturday morning Geoff arrives, as planned, to find the fuse box hidden in the upper wall of the closet, affordably changes the overloaded 30 year old glass fuse, house is restored to order by 8:30am, in time to pick up husband/daddy at the airport- home from Afghanistan for Christmas. Thank you Ronda and Geoff, you are the coolest, nicest and most professional electric company in the Bay Area. read more

Geoff was great! He was able to retrofit an existing line on an inside wall in order to install a new outlet. Was fast, friendly, and efficient! Would use again! read more

A BIG thanks to Geoff and Ronda - the dynamic duo. Geoff brings the operational expertise and Ronda brings the customer service. I hired Geoff as a referral from another home owner in my building to replace an outdated fixture and install 2 new ones. My building has antiquated wiring but Geoff knew just what to do! And don't let the quiet/reserved initial impression fool you - he's a very insightful and generous individual with a broad knowledge of his craft. The end result may require some clean-up work but for invasive procedures like new fixtures, that's to be expected. What's more, I had a small issue with one of my fixtures within a day of install - Geoff was immediately responsive and came back the day following my inquiry to personally address and fix at no additional charge. He also offered me recommendations to help ensure the safety of my loved ones and I while in the home. Geoff and Ronda - thank you for your commitment to quality service. Sincerely, Nikki read more

This review is long overdue! Geoff installed a big, heavy modern chandelier for CB2 in my old dining room last year (November 2016) for a very good price. He came on time, was professional, and he played with my mini poodle! However, this past weekend, as I was cleaning, I noticed that the based of the chandelier had started to fall from the ceiling. I called, and made an appointment a few days later and Geoff came back and reinforced the chandelier...for FREE???!! Talk about standing by his work. Honestly, he didn't even have to do that because the chandelier is huge and our walls/ceilings are from the 1940's. Now that is Excellent Customer service!!!! read more

My house had 20% power all of a sudden. I didn't know what the problem was, so called PGE thinking maybe it was my line to the pole. PGE shows up and cut my power off completely as wires that were coming out at roof line were burned up for some reason. This was a bit scary. I called Williams Electric at 300pm explaining the situation, Geoff was here by 400pm, and I was up and running by 600pm. Remarkable service, and a true lifesaver! (I had visions of candlelight and no internet for who knows how long) THANKS Geoff, very impressed with your service!! . read more
