Samuel helped me assess water damage to an electric outlet and safely turn power on in the affected area. He also helped me with changing 3 outlets to GFCI outlets at the same time but called me to confirm my comfort with the work before doing so. Quick response and I appreciated his clear communication on labor, price and options. I would happily work with Samuel again!

Samuel installed an electric line to power my water heater last year and did a fantastic job - it's still working with no issue as expected.
Recently I had an unrelated issue with an GFCI outlet that kept tripping when we ran some household appliances simultaneously. We weren't sure which outlets shared a current or breaker, but after some experimentation we replaced the faulty outlet ourselves as a first pass. I called Samuel for an assessment and he was nice enough to stop by and diagnose.
He helped us do some tests to confirm which outlets were connected to what breakers. The problem stopped happening by itself when he stopped by and didn't end up needing servicing. He also gave some advice on appliance configuration, how to not overload the circuit, and secondary troubleshooting we could do on our own before calling him again.
I appreciate how customer focused, trustworthy, and great communication - he'll definitely be getting more of my business and recommendation to friends!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Thank you Truc, I hope water heater works good for you. It was a pleasure working with you.
Jul 1, 2022Previous reviewSamuel is very communicative, super reliable, and responsive and is skilled at his craft. I had an issue with a small project and he was able to come onsite for a quote and start quickly. He was one of the few contractors I contacted who walked me through different options and explained the parameters to me. It was very easy to get in contact and get responses from him. While on site, he was professional, mindful of the space and cleaned up. Thank you for the great work! He knows his stuff and he'll be my go to for future electrical projects!

A few weeks ago, I hired someone on Yelp to fix my circuit breaker box. Yesterday night, the power started to partially go out and the circuit breaker box started sparking and sizzling. This electrician didn't reply to my text or phone call. In need of immediate help, I made several calls based on Yelp reviews. Samuel called me back right away and had his colleague Josue come ASAP to assess the situation. After further inspection, he noticed that a few connections were loose. He tightened some bolts and tested the box. He was here less than 20 minutes and left with my problem easily solved. Fast, professional and reasonable - I highly recommend SL Electric.

I just bought a condo and I had a lot of electrical upgrades I wanted to do (Tesla Wall Connector, sub panel replacement, additional outlets, additional lighting). Samuel was able to understand my vision and quickly got back to me with an estimate over Yelp. Sam is really responsive to message over Yelp and text messages and was a breeze to work with. Sam and his team did a great job running all the new rough electrical work over 4-5 days, another ~2 days of finishing work, and another ~2 days of inspections over 7 weeks. Sam is a great communicator asking me questions as work is done, provided great knowledge on best placement of the new lights and provided important knowledge to make sure we're up to code. Sam attended all the electrical inspections with the City of San Francisco and provided the electrical load calculations of our residence to satisfy the city's requirements to pass the inspections. Samuel did an excellent job for my house and I hope to hire SL Electric again for my future projects.

Logan I really wish you the best on your journey with the new condo, i loved the way it turned and i hope to stop by some day when its furnished. Thank you for the review and you where always a step ahead of me and ready and I think that is why job went thru smoothly.

Samuel is an incredible communicator, electrician, and person. He spent two weeks doing a complete rewire of our 80+ year old home and made sure that we passed our city inspections bringing each room up to code. In this project, we had multiple requirements involving fixture replacements/additions and several new outlets. He provided accurate estimates, quick communication via email & text, and spent as much time as needed to get our electric work done. I've already had Samuel come back for additional small projects and will continue to use him for my work moving forward. I cannot recommend Samuel enough, he'll do great things for your house!

Sam did an excellent job installing our Tesla car charger. He is very knowledgeable in his field. He is young, but very well experienced, and professional. I'll definitely hire him again with any other electrical service we need.
