"I am updating my rating for CA Electrical (Unfortunately Angi will not allow me to edit, so I am posting this as a new review). After posting my original review I was contacted by CA Electrical. The supervisor assured me that my experience was not their normal practice and that they normally made sure to call if there was a change of plans. I felt that they were earnest in trying to make things right, so I agreed to give them another chance. I ultimately decided to select them for my project to replace sub panel and install outlets. The crew was excellent and professional. They showed up on time, were professional and friendly, took extra care to ensure work spaces were left clean. Their workmanship was excellent and they did a great job of cleaning up some messy electrical wiring that had been there before. As an electrical engineer, I also appreciated the crews knowledge of code and ability to explain the technical side of the installation. I would use them again."

"It went extremely well, except for a minor misunderstanding with the inspection date by PGE. I had to call them myself to set up the appointment; something I thought Val was going to take care of. At any rate, his work was exceptional and I'm thinking of giving him a call for some current electrical needs that I have. His attention to aesthetically pleasing and neat workmanship is his strength, along with an outstanding electrical fund of knowledge.

"Steve and his crew of electricians did a fabulous job. They basically replaced the entire house’s electrical, all new switches and outlets in addition to all the new light fixtures in every room. They showed up on time, did what they said they would and addressed every issue encountered in the rehab. In addition, Steve was great helping me decide what to put where. An overall excellent experience. I would HIGHLY recommend Warner Electric for any electric job."

"They did several projects for me in one day--repaired smoke alarm, repaired doorbell, installed ceiling light fixture. They were friendly and efficient. I'm old and prices always seem too high for me, but I believe they gave me a good deal and quality workmanship."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Before starting electrical projects in San Francisco, review your home for outdated wiring, asbestos, or lead paint, especially if it’s an older property. Plan your project scope carefully and secure all required permits early, as approvals can take time. Coordinate with utility providers for any necessary service upgrades, and confirm your contractor’s experience with local codes, including GFCI and arc-fault requirements, to prevent unexpected setbacks.

Helpful?

Electrical systems in San Francisco benefit from routine maintenance due to the city’s damp climate and prevalence of aging homes. Schedule annual inspections for panels, outlets, and breakers to catch corrosion or loose connections. After earthquakes or heavy storms, check for visible damage. If your home has older wiring, consider more frequent professional assessments to ensure ongoing safety and reliability for your electrical system.

Helpful?

Combining electrical work with other upgrades in San Francisco can help you minimize disruption and maximize efficiency. For example, updating wiring during a kitchen remodel or while adding solar panels reduces the need for repeat inspections and streamlines contractor scheduling. This approach is especially valuable in older San Francisco homes, where multiple systems often need attention, helping you avoid redundant work and potential code conflicts.

Helpful?

In San Francisco, you’ll find several types of electrical contractors: residential specialists familiar with vintage homes, commercial contractors for offices and retail spaces, and experts in solar or energy-efficient upgrades. Some focus on smart home technology or historic property renovations, while others handle urgent repairs. Matching your project with a contractor who understands your home’s age and style ensures safer, more effective results.

Helpful?

In San Francisco, homeowners often make mistakes like skipping permits, attempting DIY electrical work, or overlooking the need for panel upgrades in older homes. Relying solely on the lowest bid can mean hiring someone unfamiliar with local codes. Failing to plan for access issues in historic properties or not coordinating with utility providers can also lead to delays, safety risks, and extra work down the line.
