Chris is super — really knows his stuff. We use him for our home and recommend him to anyone who asks.

I am, unfortunately, forced to lower my rating on Chris Borg. I had Chris out to do a couple more jobs at the house a couple months ago. Everything was fine but he ran out of time before he could finish rewiring a ceiling fan. He told me we would reschedule soon. It’s been a little more than two months and I still have no ceiling fan or light in my dining room. I attempted to contact via email and phone and got no response. Not sure what happened, maybe he got some bigger jobs that pay more, but if you forget the little guy, you might find their voice carries some weight with all the other little guys and gals out there in Unilocal-​land. Guess I’ll be getting another electrician for my other pending jobs. Too bad, I really liked his crew.

Chris is awesome. He and Dennis did a great job with installing some new outlets in our house and installing a new panel. Both are very responsive and made sure to minimize any inconvenience (i.e., interior access, power outage, etc). Incidentally, they happen to be really nice people too! I’d highly recommend Chris for any electrical needs.

Chris was very helpful and we have not even met. There was no power in our garage, so I E-​mailed Chris to see if he would come over to take a look. He E-​mailed me back and told me to reset the GFI plug, which I did, and voila — the power was back! We took care of this problem without a formal consultation. Based on his work ethic, I recommend him to anyone who has to Google what a GFI plug is.

I was in the market for a new stove and getting an all gas range was way cheaper than doing a dual fuel option (gas cook top and electric oven). Given the big price difference and being the cheap asian that I am, I went down the route of finding an electrician to change the plug from a 220v to a 120v and go with the all gas range. I called around and most people wouldn’t give me an appointment to do such a small job, but luckily Chris did. Granted Chris was very busy, he took the time to come, take a look and give me an estimate for the work as well as changing a light switch that’s been broken.
His price was very reasonable and I scheduled the work. Chris came right on time and I spent a good deal of time asking him about the work he was doing and about the neighborhood (he’s a life long San Carlos native). He was very pleasant and answered any questions that I had and even helped to remove some excess wiring from outside the house for free. A real class act.

Chris is terrific. He always does an excellent job, be it a small or larger one. He is on time, always in a good mood and very effective.
Simply put: he is on my business good-​guys list.

I had a great experience with Chris. He changed two light switches and a GFI outlet, and gave me advice on a couple other things. He’s easy to communicate with, including email, he’s prompt, very knowledgeable, has been doing electrical work for a long time in the Peninsula so he knows the houses around here, and he gives advice based on what’s best for the homeowner. He’s a pleasure to work with.

We hired Chris and his team on the recommendation of our realtor and we’re super happy with his work. He upgraded the panel at our house and installed several plugs (mostly GFI plugs) and did a bunch of other upgrades before we moved in. They worked efficiently and they were there to answer all our questions. He’s great with communicating, including over email, which I appreciate. Reliable, nice, good rates — awesome all around. Thanks Chris!

Since my last review, I’ve hired Chris to perform major upgrades in my house, including switching from 100A to 200A, installing lights in my attics and crawl space, adding an attic fan, putting new spots into a bedroom, 3 ceiling fans and a major upgrade to the garage 50A feed.
He has two main guys that help him out, Dennis and Jerimiah. Both solid guys that work well together. Efficient and trust-​worthy.
I hate giving him 5-​stars again, because that means he might not be availalbe for me the next time I need him. But it is only fair to give this guy his due. 5-​stars all the way.

If you live in Foster City, don’t go anywhere else. His wealth of knowledge and experience speaks for itself, and he conducts himself w/​high integrity. A must have for the rolodex.

I was looking for someone to run a lot of line under and into the house. I looked on Unilocal and found that Chris Borg had 21, 5-​Star reviews. How could I go wrong? I couldn’t! He was exacatly what I read about — on time, reasonable, and icing on the cake — he wasn’t afraid of the dog! I would highly recommend Chris and will use him for the next project!

Called me right back. He asked great questions and understood the job. He could not do it in my short time frame. Se he gave a thumbs up to the other electrician I had identified. I didn’t see his work, but this interchange speaks volumes about his character.

I would definitely recommend working with Chris. He and his crew arrived on time, were personable, helpful and worked hard. I appreciated the free estimate and thought they charged a reasonable rate for their expertise and provided great service.

Very personable guy, and a skilled electrician. He quickly replaced all the old/​bad switches and installed new light fixtures throughout our home. He also came out on a Sunday and spent all day doing it. I will certainly use him again and would recommend him to anyone who needs an electrician.

Chris did a great job in a very difficult situation. He was supposed to move our cable outlet to another location in the house. He noted that there was access to an underground crawlway, which we had never seen, and scheduled us in the middle of a very busy week, as he put it, because he knows how important TV is to kids. When he came back to do the work it turned out that there was a lot of standing water and mud in the crawlway, despite this he took care of moving the cable with good humor and even saved us some money on extra cable he though he might need. All in all I would and will definitely recommend him to friends and neighbors.

After reading some of the good reviews on Unilocal I contacted Chris Borg Electric to help with some electrical issues in our house. I agree with the review and the 5 start rating.
Chris was on time for our house call and after a few tests, he was able to determine the cause which was with the Power company. He was very thorough and checked and tightened all contact points to rule out all other possibilities. He was very detailed in his invoice and explained the issue so that I could explain our situation to the Power Company .
His rates are very good and I now have electrician for all future work on my home.

Chris was great. I needed to have a couple outlets grounded and gave him a call based on the other Unilocal reviews. He was willing to come by my place on a Saturday to give me an estimate. His prices are very fair and the work was done quickly and cleanly. Highly recommended.

He’s a keeper. Excellent work, excellent prices. I have more electrical work to do in the future and he’s the one I’m going to call.

I’d recommend Chris Borg to any important person in my life — my grandmother, sister, best friend, pastor, probation officer, etc. I am that confident in his services.
As has been said, Chris is reasonable with his rates, and very good at communicating not only what is wrong but how it can be fixed and how much it will cost.
The Mrs and I had just moved into the new place. We handn’t been in the new place more than two days before a light fixture in the hall fell down, the lights in the bathroom were hot to the touch even when off, and an outlet in the master bedroom was dead. A quick search of Unilocal,a call to Chris, and our problems were solved in less than an hour.

Another great job by Chris and his team! We finally got around to getting the recessed lighting done in the house. Of course there is no one else that I would call. They did a great job and like I said before have very reasonable prices. On top of that they make sure that you are one happy customer!

Considering the lack of good contractors in the area Chris was great. He was incredibly quick and efficient and very easy to work with. He definitely has reasonable rates and is upfront and honest about costs and abilities. I plan on using him again for future projects!
