About Brookline Electric SF
Brookline Electric SF delivers electrical services throughout San Francisco, earning a 4.9-star rating across 247 reviews. The company holds California State Contractors License #273651 and has operated in the city for over 39 years, specializing in rewiring the iconic Victorian, Edwardian, and Edwardian-style homes that define San Francisco neighborhoods. Owner John A. Peters leads a team experienced with older apartments, flats, and residential properties throughout the city, using protective measures like clear plastic painter's tarps to safeguard homeowner valuables during work.
What distinguishes Brookline Electric is their deep familiarity with San Francisco's aging housing stock. The company handles panel upgrades, circuit breaker replacements, and full electrical remodels for homes that often predate modern electrical codes. They offer same-day service for urgent repairs, LED lighting conversions with financing options that reportedly pay back within 18-24 months, and troubleshooting for complex electrical mysteries. The company earned the Housecall Pro 2019 Superpro Award, recognizing excellence among home service providers.
Reviewers consistently highlight same-day response times and diagnostic skill. Laura Nguyen described John arriving the same day for a breaker that kept tripping, then identifying a rainstorm-related issue at an outdoor outlet within 30 minutes. James Im reported three flickering lights were diagnosed and partially repaired the same day, with John explaining how to complete the dimmer replacements independently to save money. Dan Leifker noted the quoted price matched the final estimate with same-day completion. GreenLyte praised Sunday availability for a sub-panel problem involving an overheated neutral bar.
