Formosa Electric

Formosa upgraded my Panels, highly recommend them, Roger completed this project with little to no disruption.
Professional, reliable.

TLDR: Roger is renowned as the absolute best electrician in the entire bay area.

I recently had the pleasure of hiring him to install recessed lights, a task he executed with perfection, as expected. Roger also took the time to thoroughly discuss the various types of recessed lights available, offering invaluable advice on the pros and cons of each. He not only precisely installed the lights but also took the time to kindly discuss with me where I wanted them placed. He offered valuable advice on positioning to ensure there wouldn't be shadows while cooking in the kitchen, demonstrating his deep understanding of lighting dynamics in practical settings. His attention to detail and willingness to cater to my specific needs were truly impressive.

In addition to the recessed lights, he replaced all the switches and outlets in my home. Not only did he complete all the work swiftly and with the utmost precision, but he also shared extensive knowledge about electrical maintenance, ensuring I understood everything he was doing.

I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to recommend Roger to anyone needing electrical work. His professionalism, expertise, and commitment to quality are unmatched.

As part of my current remodeling project, Roger will be installing a new sub panel, removing outdated electrical pipes from my garage, and completely rewiring the kitchen and bathrooms, as well as installing a Tesla charger. I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing the results and will update this post once everything is finished!

Roger helped install a new electrical panel for me a few months ago. I forgot to leave a review but constantly found myself telling friends and family that it was such an excellent experience that I needed to come and share.

Roger was communicative, friendly, and very approachable given that I don't know much about electrical work. His pricing is competitive and I will certainly be hiring him for any future work.

I am so happy to have an electrician that I feel confident calling for the next time around.

I have probably only written a handful of Yelp reviews ever, but I recently received such great service from Roger that I felt compelled to share my experience and recommendation here.

Short version. Recently on a Monday and Tuesday evening I experienced some intermittent whole house electrical problems. Wednesday morning I called PG&E who immediately sent a rep to my house to investigate. By 9:00 am he had shut off power to my entire house and informed me he could not turn it back on until I had the Main Entry panel replaced, which would require a city permit for the work and city inspection when done. I had plans to be out of town beginning Friday, and had no idea how to even get the process started.

A friend recommended I reach out to Roger at Formosa. Roger took my info over the phone and gave me a reasonable quote for the work. He ordered a new panel, got the city permit and was at my home promptly at 8:00 am the next day (Thursday). He was extremely professional and well organized, explained what he was going to do in a way I could understand, and even asked me for my preference regarding how the new ground wire was routed.

I had to leave for work at 10:00 am. By 12:30 he had completed the work (including having the City Inspector sign off on the work and having PG&E reconnect the power). He sent me pictures of everything as verification. Less than 28 hours from shutoff to fully restored with a brand new main panel including all distribution breakers!

I could not be more pleased with the service he provided. Extremely professional in both performance and communication.

I've lived in this house 12 years and have had several electricians perform small jobs over that time. They were all decent, but nobody really gave me the sense of confidence in their work that Roger did. Roger will definitely be my "go-to" electrician for all needs going forward.

The best and most helpful Electrician around! I had problem with the garage outlets and asked for his service. instead of charging me, he gave me guidance step by step on the phone and my outlets were fixed in no time. Thank you so much, Roger! You are the best!

We quoted with top 10 highest rating electrics in Yelp review and are lucky to find Roger as our electrician for the panel upgrading. The team is very professional with the cheapest price and undoubtable work. Some Yelp reviews complained that he didn't response in time during the quote. That's understandable given the small family business is the most popular one among the bay area. Besides, Roger also helped us with the paper work for the city permit and pge application. Everything was done so smoothly!

I recently purchased a Tesla and I was using my dryer outlet to charge my car. I was experiencing issues with the outlet so I called Roger and the first thing he said was "stop doing that" lol. During our first call he gave me SO much helpful information that I knew he was the right man for the job.

He has installed thousands of Tesla wall chargers and NEMA 14-15 outlets for mobile connectors. He knew exactly the problem I was having because he's had clients who melted their normal outlets attempting to charge their Teslas. Normal houses are NOT equipped to charge EVs and electricity is NOT something anyone can DIY.

Roger was able to stop by my house within a week and quoted me a very reasonable price to get the NEMA 14-15 outlet installed in my garage. It only took him 30min! I appreciate that he was easy to work with, efficient, informative, and didn't try to sell me on anything else. I will definitely reach out to Roger again if I need any electrical work done!

If you need an electrician, look no further. Formosa Electric was so helpful and did a wonderful job on installing our EV Wall Charger.

Finally jumped on the EV bandwagon and needed an electrician to install an EV Wall Charger. With the help from my Yelp Family, I found FORMOSA ELECTRIC. The process was so easy. Once Roger replied to my text message, he was able to answer all of my questions and more, he gave me suggestions and a reasonable quote and set up the install the next day. Score!!!

Roger was prompt and quick. I appreciated him taking in everything that my hubs and I was asking for. All in all, Roger was very friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend Formosa to friends and family and keep them in mind for future projects.

I used Roger's services on several occasions. Not only did he install new panels and subpanels for me, but he also promptly addressed smaller issues. His workmanship is superb, and he would go the extra mile to finish on time, even if it means skipping lunch or dinner.

As a property owner, it's awesome knowing that I can rely on this reliable and trustworthy electrician for any future problems or electrical projects. Highly recommend!

Update The owner returned our $450 deposit!

Roger came over and gave the money.

STILL WONT USE THEN
