Great experience with Aguilar Electric. They installed two new dedicated circuits in my home (for a bidet outlet and a smart water shutoff valve), running both cleanly back to the breaker panel. The work was tidy, well labeled, and fairly priced. The team clearly takes pride in their work. I’ll definitely use them again for larger projects in the future.
Great experience from beginning to end. I contacted 10 local contractors. Aguilar was the best in terms of pricing, impact on tenants, and turnaround time. Margarito and his crew took care of everything and I met the insurance requirements for a 1970s 12 unit residential apt building in Pacific Heights. The work included main and unit electrical panel replacements, lighted exit signs and emergency lighting installation.
I'm writing to recommend Aguilar Electric. Gustabo helped me with knob and tube replacement to bring everything up to code in an old 1940s house. They worked hard and diligently through the holiday season which I much appreciated. He was very responsive and communicated well to help us coordinate our tight schedule. And the inspector lauded their work as excellent. Everything is working great and will be glad to call them back for any future electrical work.
The team at Aguilar electric were amazing and exceeded all my expectations. I bought a home in San Francisco that had old knob & tube wiring that I had them remove and replace, along with adding a 200 amp service panel and some outlets, security lights, and a car charger. This was a big job and I was surprised to find that they were willing to work with me on the price and were able to start almost immediately. They were unbelievably careful while working, had everything masked off to protect the floors, and when they were done the house was actually cleaner than when they arrived - it looked like they had a professional cleaning crew come in after them, it was really incredible. These folks completely go above and beyond, down to the smallest details. For example: the internet guy plugged in a bunch of things into a single outlet I had them add in one corner of the garage, basically taking up the whole thing - Aguilar added an outlet up high and out of the way and relocated the internet there, leaving the original outlet free to be used as intended. They even made a little shelf for the components to sit on! I never asked for any of this - they just took care of it thoughtfully like they would do if working in their own houses. I was so impressed and grateful at the same time. In a similar fashion, they needed to remove a large conduit coming into the house and install a new one, requiring some holes to be plugged and sealed. They not only sealed the electrical work, they also went through and sealed around an old water pipe and an opening for an unused doorbell - I was absolutely astonished and so thankful at the same time. Margarito and his team at Aguilar electric are a rare group of people who deliver ahead of schedule, under budget, and with a level of quality and pride in their work that left me speechless. I would emphatically recommend them to anyone looking for a licensed electrical contractor who does permitted work and I will be using them for all my electrical needs in the future.
When you are looking for a punctual, honest and highly skilled electrician, look no further than Aguilar Electric. I am an architect and I used Aguilar Electric for my own home. Margarito and his team are professional, always on time, and handled permitting and inspections with the City of San Francisco with ease. I highly recommend!
