We had a potentially dangerous situation with flickering lights throughout our house that was caused by corrosion in the main electrical distribution panel, which is on the exterior of our house. Arcing could be heard within the meter box. I called Ike's Electric to ask for an estimate for the job. Isaiah, aka Ike, came out on a Friday, the day following my voicemail message to him. Isaiah arrived promptly and was professional and informative. He said he would have an estimate for us the following Monday, via email, which he did. His bid was fair and competitive. We had estimates from two other electricians. My husband and I decided, without any reservation, to go with Ike's Electric. Call it intuition. The work took 2 1/2 days to complete, and we were/are more than satisfied with the great work done my Leonard and Emilio. These two are not merely craftsmen, but artists. Their skill and aesthetic sense was amazing. The two of them had to drill holes and string many new wires, wires that we are now not even aware of. The SF City building inspector who came out the following week found everything up to code and done perfectly. Without hesitation, we can say that you cannot lose with Ike's Electric. My husband and I would go so far as to say we would be proud to have these guys as neighbors, and would find them a treasure to have as friends. And,also, you cannot lose with Angie's List. The cost of our membership was the best money we could have spent to take care of a very serious problem.
Description of Work: Replaced main distribution panel on back of our building, including new branch circuit breakers, updated grounding system, reconnecting existing circuitry to new panel, repulling new service wires from main weatherhead to meter socket, installing second ground rod and bonding to gas line in garage and connecting to new panel. Included permit and inspection fee.

Called and left a message. My call was returned within 15 minutes. Appointment set for that afternoon. He arrived on time and was able to find the problem in a short period of time. It was due to a blown fuse and not enough power.. Needed a new amp. This is not my area of expertise and I am sure I don't have all the technical jargon correct.. However, we have not had a problem since.. He was very professional and knew exactly what needed to be done and I would hire him again and recommend him to anyone that needed an electrician. I feel that he can be trusted to do excellent work at a reasonable price.
Description of Work: New Wash and Dryer worked well for approximately a year and then neither one was working, which I was sure had to do with the electricity. It was and the provider was able to find and take care of the problem in a short period of time and for a reasonable cost.

The guys at Ike's did a good job. Isaias, the electrician, seems smart and thoughtful. He and his helper, Emillio, were easy to work with and very polite and professional. The job went as planned except that they were unable to start on the scheduled day due to an employee injury; understandable.That's why I rated them as only Good in punctuality categories. Overall, the finished work looks nice and clean. My veteran plumber commented on the quality of their work; it's no easy task bending 2" conduit. I plan on using Ike's Electric for the rest of my remodel project. Recommended.
Description of Work: Installed new 200 amp, 120/240 volt overhead electrical service. Install 20/40 position meter/main distribution panel. Install new grounding and bonding system as per code. Installed one GFCI outlet. Reconnect existing circuitry to new panel, identify and label panel. Labor and material for this work. Permit and inspection fee.

The work was fast and the Isaiah was very pleasant. He made sure to place the outlet in the right spot to accommodate my stove. Of note, I have not used my stove yet....so hopefully it works. I don't see any reason why it would not.
Description of Work: I purchased a gas stove and needed the gas line reinstalled. The previous electrician told me that it was not possible to reuse the old line and I was given an estimate of $1000. Isaiah told me this might be a possibility but he was able to use the old line.

Ike senior is very good with older women like myself ( am 80) who had husbands who did all the "man" jobs. fortunately the newer generations a not so caught in roles. He will take the time to reassure and explain. I plan to call him in March to give me an estimate on replacing two electric wall heaters in a rental and discuss improving the lighting in that same rental
Description of Work: I had a light switch that sometimes worked other times not. Ike repaced it and it works fine. I was concerned two ceiling fans, about if they were installed right. One of them had a fan cord that got stuck and would not work. He reassured me that both were correctly installed. He explained they are made to move from the installation so they do not rip up the ceiling in an earthquake. The fan cord was tangled inside the mount. He untangled and oiled. It works fine now.

I wanted to install a ceiling light in our rental property and replace two other ceiling light fixtures. I found Ike's Electric here on Angie's List and reviews were good so I contact them. They respionded promptly and throughout the project (estimate & installation) it was very easy to communicate and work with Ike's Electric, both via email and phone. The price was very reasonable and the work performed was great, on time and the price quoted.

Each time I got them on the phone (three times in total), they were nice enough, but seemed fairly busy and asked me to take the intiative to follow up with them after the call in writing to give them my phone number, my address, what I needed again and open windows of time when they could come over to give me an estimate. In each instance, I did exactly what they asked, sent them an email and I never heard back. I tried a second time after the first time, because I had thought perhaps that my email had gotten caught in their SPAM filter or what have you. So the second time, I spoke to a different younger gentleman on the phone, he apologized for not getting back to me, explained that they were particularly busy and then asked me to do the same thing, but this time send the email to multiple email addresses that they used for the business. By this time, it was getting pretty close to Christmas but I thought, what the heck, plan it now even if the work cannot get done until next year. But they never followed up the second time around either. So I called one last time to figure out what may have happened, again they were apologetic, but I didn't trust them anymore to follow through.
Description of Work: I wanted Ike's to give me an estimate for adding some more electrical outlets with higher throughput in specific places in the house. It is always an issue around the holidays when we add all of the lights and decorations, circuit breakers get tripped all the time.

Response from IKE'S ELECTRIC
During the holidays we receive a large volume of inquiries, and despite our best efforts to accommodate every request we simply do not have the staffing to do so. We have built a reputation over the past 35 years as a courteous, efficient and professional company, and I sincerely apologize that we did not meet your expectations. We have extended a discount for any future work to earn back your trust, and we hope to conduct business in the future.

They did a great job from start to finish. Ike made good suggestions to us and was very helpful. Leonard and Isaias were very professional and excellent in carrying out the tasks. Isaias went above and beyond by printing out a detailed label of the circuit breakers. Would definitely hire them again.
Description of Work: We upgraded the main electrical service to 125 Amps 120/240V (new panel), added a new outlet for the garage door opener and one in the living room. Also install new light in electrical panel area, rewire garage light and replace front motion light.

Ike Garcia came to our house and reviewed all work done to date by the building manager, talked to the San Francisco electrical inspector to determine their requirements, prepared a proposal and submitted a quote for the work still to be done. After we paid a deposit he worked directly with the city to take out the permit and make a plan to resolve outstanding issues regarding our repair and required code upgrades since the last building inspection in 2003. Ike notified us of his progress, gave us advance notice when he needed to come in to shut off the electricity to prepare for the repair and when he planned to come in to complete the work. He worked with the city to complete required code work and get the electrical permit signed off. Finally, he worked with PG&E to get the meters sealed. He only had to shut off the power twice: once for 30 minutes to check the system and once more for an entire day to complete all work. We appreciated that he was able to do all repairs in one day and minimize the power outage for us. We were impressed with Ike's professionalism and his ability to work with the SF City Board of Permits and with the inspector and with PG&E to get all repair work and all additional required code work done and the electrical system approved by both. From his first work June 20 (inspect and list materials) until final approval by PG&E on July 16 when the meters were sealed, he performed in an exemplary manner. We will be happy to work with him again.
Description of Work: A truck ripped the electrical service from the front of our home, tearing all the conduit from the house as well as the meters and the connection to the circuit breaker boxes inside the house. Total destruction. We had our building manager start repairs working with an electrical contractor. However, after several weeks of work he could not get clearance for PG&E to certify the repair and then was informed that he should have taken out a permit to do all the work. We received a notice from the City of SF to stop work. By this time we had spent $2500 for what we thought would be a finished job. We stopped work with the building manager and he recommended Ike's Electric.

We recently contracted Ike’s to do rewiring, a service upgrade (meter, circuit breakers, disconnect), install grounding rods and upgrade the outlets in the kitchen and computer room of our 70 year old house. We had around five other companies over to review the project and provide us with an estimate. There were problems with the layout of our washroom interfering with the location of the electrical equipment. Ike and Co quickly assessed the project and had no problem with the logistics. The work was completed in several days by Leonard who did an outstanding job and contacted the the city inspectors and PGE to come over for certification. On top of that they also gave us the best price! I greatly recommend them for any electrical work you need done in your home.
Description of Work: We needed to have our main fuse box replaced with a circuit breaker, a new service disconnect, and a smart meter receptacle to replace our old PGE meter. Also we needed to run 3 prong gounded wiring and outlets to replace original wiring in the house. The completed work needed to be ok'd by city inspectors and PGE.

My old intercom/door bell system went down and it came to the point that the feedback coming through the intercom inside my house was driving me nuts. I knew that at some point I needed to put it a whole new doorbell/intercom system. I have an outer wall with a door to the street. The old door release didn't work when I got the house back in 2003. I decided I wanted s sytem that has a built in camera so I can see who's outside when they buzzed the doorbell and the ability to open the door once I buzzed them in. Isaias at Ike's Electric picked out a system I wanted and installed everything professionally. He cleaned up after himself when he had to drill and cut, and made sure the system and its wiring was correct and worked perfectly. He taught me how to use it and finally My door release works again!
Description of Work: Installed a video intercom system. Removed the old system, and checked to make sure all the wiring leading to the house was ok. Gave me options on the type of intercom systems and its prices.

This is the second time we've called Ike to help us out. All of the good things from the previous experience held true again. I am elderly and he is very protective and considerate when helping us. He gave us additional advice about another lighting project in our home, which was very helpful. He cleans up after himself and takes anything away that has to be removed, and leaves everything as you would like it to be. His prices are quite reasonable.
Description of Work: He did another doorbell and intercom for us this time, which was more extensive wiring work.

Ike was responsive, and helped me figure out where and how to hang this very heavy fixture in my old house.
Description of Work: Ike hung a heavy (30 or 40 pound) chandelier from an old gas pipe light fixture. Ike drove across town to pick up a part, and had the fixture hung up within a couple of hours. The total price includes the new part, and his travel time. He was friendly and professional, and I'll use him again.

- Ike responded quickly to a phone call, arrived for a 30 minute consultation. - After surveying the floor near one of the basic plugs, the basement below it and looking at the breaker panel -- he let us know that he thought we were safe without needed to "upgrade" it, although he was certainly willing and able to do the work if we still wanted him to. - He scheduled a time to do the work that was convenient to me (accommodating my schedule) - He performed the work efficiently and quickly two days later and cleaned up behind himself. - I enjoyed his professionalism and amiability and would certainly hire him again.
Description of Work: Ike came to: - Gave an estimate to replace 2 regular plugs with grounded plugs, - to advise and evaluate and install a new light switch and vanity lights.

I just had work done today at my flat in San Francisco by Ike's Electric, a company I discovered on Angie's List. Ike's Electric is a father-son operation that's been doing electrical work in San Francisco for over 30 years. This is what initially attracted me to this company. Isaiah, the son, did my work today, and I couldn't be more pleased with it. He arrived on time, was extremely professional, and really knew his stuff! He did some rewiring, replaced a wall heater that had burned out, replaced a bathroom fan with a quieter model, and fixed a closet light that wasn't working. Along the way, he explained everything he was doing, and he was meticulous about cleaning up as he worked. He worked quickly, and my final bill was affordable and fair. And, on top of everything, Isaiah is a really nice guy! I was so happy with his work that I immediately wrote to the others in my building to recommend Ike's Electric if they have to have any electrical work done. I am so happy to have found Ike's Electric and will be using them for all my future electrical needs.
