Bay Valley Electric has earned a 5-star average rating on Yelp — because doing it right the first time really does make a difference.
Robert and his very talented assistant spent two days changing out old plugs and wiring. Not a fun job, but they did it. They also helped us upgrade our outdoor lighting, and now our Eichler home has become part of the 21st century. We fell safer inside and out.

We hired Bay Valley Electric for our kitchen remodel. They sent over Sebastian and he did an awesome job doing a panel upgrade and changed all my lights to LED. I picked out light pendants to hang over my island and he installed it to the perfect height. I will definitely hire them again for all my electrical needs.

Bay Valley Electric installed a large pendant light in my dining room and they were responsive, knowledgeable, and skilled. I called them on Tues evening after the handyman ran into electrical wiring issues and felt I needed an electrician. Bay Valley squeezed me in at 7am the next morning! They fixed all the electrical issues and the light looks beautiful. Will absolutely work with BVE again!

Robert and his team were super professional and did excellent work replacing an electrical panel, outlets, and getting us ready for A/C. We're repeat customers and they've always taken the best care of us.

Practical, experience-backed advice for Bay Area homes and businesses.
Power outages can come from heat waves, equipment failures, or grid strain. A properly sized generator keeps essentials running and protects sensitive electronics.
Electrical work done without permits can cause problems during home sales, remodels, or insurance claims. Licensed, code-compliant work protects your investment.
Installing a 240V line before buying your EV saves time and money. We install Tesla, ChargePoint, and more.
Motion-activated and strategically placed outdoor lighting is one of the easiest ways to boost home security — and it looks great too.
Smart switches and dimmers work best when your wiring and load are compatible. Professional installation prevents flickering, connectivity issues, and shortened fixture life.
If a breaker keeps tripping, it's not just annoying — it may be protecting you from a dangerous wiring issue. Let a licensed pro check it out.
If your home was built before 1990 or your lights flicker under load, it might be time. A panel upgrade can improve safety and prep you for EVs or solar.
Modern commercial lighting improves visibility, reduces operating costs, and can create a better experience for employees and customers — all without disrupting daily operations.
Swapping outdated fluorescents for LEDs can reduce energy costs and improve visibility — and it often qualifies for rebates.
Having an electrician walk the space before work begins helps identify hidden issues, align expectations, and avoid last-minute changes or delays.
Professional electrical service should leave your home or business as clean as it was found — no debris, no loose wires, no guesswork.
PG&E and other Bay Area providers offer rebates for LED retrofits and EV charger installs. Ask us how to qualify.
Wet areas require GFCI protection by law. If your home is missing these safety upgrades, it's time to get up to code.
Swapping a light fixture is one thing — rewiring a circuit without permits or training? That’s a safety risk. When in doubt, call us.
If something about your electrical system doesn’t seem right, trust your instincts. Asking early is safer — and often cheaper — than waiting.
If power goes out, a breaker won’t reset, or something doesn’t feel safe, it’s okay to call right away. Electrical emergencies should never wait.
Electrical upgrades done proactively are almost always less expensive than emergency repairs caused by failure or damage.
