Luis was great from the beginning to the end of the work that he did for us. His work is impeccable and he was very professional with talking to us about everything that he was doing. I would highly recommend him to all of my friends and family. If you are looking for a dependable electrician San Fran Electric is the way to go.

I contacted San Fran Electric after experiencing an electrical emergency when one of our outlets sparked and burned due to a portable heater. Luis clearly explained our options, and we decided to clean up the wiring to the affected outlet and add a dedicated breaker so we could safely use the heater. I appreciate how responsive San Fran Electric was and how well they kept us informed throughout the process, which helped us make a confident, informed decision as homeowners. I would highly recommend San Fran Electric to anyone in need of a reliable, high-quality electrician.

I was having trouble with a few of my electrical outlets that were non functional and one actually began to spark. I came across this company and decided to give it a try considering I seen they had great reviews.
They were able to get out to my location the same day! He was extremely knowledgeable, professional and efficient! I will definitely be using this company again and would recommend to anyone

Luis and Lizette were excellent to work with. We needed a complete home rewire and electrical panel upgrade due to our insurance company requiring the removal of knob-and-tube wiring and an outdated fuse-based panel. Lizette handled all of the coordination and back-and-forth with PG&E and the City of San Francisco, which truly made the entire process seamless. I highly recommend Luis and his team for any future electrical needs.

Luis and his wife Lizette are great! They run a local, family owned business in SF- Luis and his colleague did a subpanel upgrade for me- they were professional, clear, and completed everything on time. I'll be using them again in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does all knob-and-tube wiring need to be replaced?
Not necessarily. The assessment identifies active circuits, what they supply and previous changes before the company recommends a rewiring plan; abandoned wiring may be disconnected instead of removed.
Does knob-and-tube rewiring always require a new electrical panel?
No. A panel upgrade is recommended only when the existing system or planned electrical loads require one.
What happens during a knob-and-tube rewire?
The work can include assessment, permitting, installation, rough and final inspections, and final testing.
What workmanship warranty is offered for knob-and-tube rewiring?
The company backs this work with a one-year workmanship warranty.
