Electro-Integrity

Where to even start explaining how awesome Todor is… Take a seat, this borders on a saga.
After moving into a new house, I noticed 2 things. I couldn’t make tea & toast at the same time, and there was some suspect-​looking electrical work in the garage. Todor came over quickly and we laid out a plan to add some new outlets in the kitchen, rip out all the bad garage work, add new lights & outlets there, plus some security lights. He got to work quickly and had this done in no time.
During inspection, however, the inspector noticed some oddities in another part of the house and asked us to investigate. Turns out a previous owner had done a huge amount of unpermitted work and left a giant fire hazard. The city insisted this be remediated before they’d sign off on the original work. It was so bad the inspector took pictures «to show the boys».
Todor advised I do that work myself, as paying his hourly rate to do demolition work was not prudent. I warned it would take a while, since I had a newborn son, but he said it would be fine. Months go by while I cut drywall, pull cables and amazingly don’t electrocute myself. While doing this I discovered massive plumbing & dry-​rot issues which require immediate attention. Todor advises the city will not sign-​off on his electrical work until all the walls are closed up.
It took me OVER TWO YEARS to sort out all that crap (including ripping out floors & walls, retiling my bathroom and redoing most of my plumbing), the whole time Todor patiently waited and advised when we were ready to call the city. Finally one day the final wall was patched and we were able to get final sign-​off on the work we started before my son was born.
Along the way I learned that Todor is a man of great honesty, patience and integrity. I saw many inspectors during my renovations and the old-​timers were «You’re using Todor? It’ll all be fine.» He has the respect of senior inspectors at City Hall and knows the electrical code inside and out. His conduit bending borders on artwork.
Thanks to him I know my house is safe.

I learned about Electro-​Integrity and specifically was put in touch with Todor by the man who conducted the inspection on our condo when we bought it.
We had a problem with lights in our hallway and the Home Warranty representative came in and spent 3 hours trying to identify the problem; he left without solving it. Then, Todor came in, spent 15 minutes in our home and fixed the lights.
We’ll definitely hire Todor and Electro-​Integrity again!

Todor just completed a significant electrical upgrade to our 90 year old home in Western SF and we could not be happier with the experience. He was extremely professional, clear and direct about what needed to be done and provided us with an accurate estimate of costs and timings and laid out a good view of the full scope of the project before starting work.
He was also insightful in giving us his perspective on what items «had to be done» vs other things that we could hold off on and tackle in the future — very helpful context for a couple of electrical novices like us with a limited budget. The permit and inspection process was relatively painless as well.
Most importantly, we can now use the microwave and the toaster at the same time without worry of blackout and our kitchen lights have a lower chance of self immolating!
We highly recommend Todor and Electro Integrity.

Very professional, delivered what was needed, follow-​ed through with city for approvals.

I wanted a 220v outlet added to my garage for electric car charging.
Todor was quick to provide an estimate and was very communicative when his prior job ran long. He ran the subpanel we agreed on but also rewired my main panel and replaced some cracked breakers for no extra charge. Oh, he also added some bracing and installed my charger as well which was above and beyond what I expected.
I wouldn’t hesitate to call him again and have given his name out several times to friends when they’ve needed electrical work.

I recently purchased an electric car, and needed an electrician to run 220V wiring and install a charging station in my garage. Todor was very prompt in his response to my email (none of the other highly Unilocal rated electricians I contacted even bothered to respond!), was on time for our scheduled appointment for an estimate, and did great quality work. He really went above and beyond when the city inspector added a new requirement for car chargers, and installed the required device quickly and without additional charge. I could not recommend Todor more highly!

Todor’s so good he managed to find a solution that didn’t involve professional electrical work — in other words, he fixed our problem without even generating a single billable hour.
And he seemed happy to have helped!

I started this process with a guy named Mr. Georgiev on March 17 and din’t get an estimate until April 4^th. He was an hour late meeting me for the estimate. His estimate came by email 6 days later than he said it would. In fact, I had to remind him of the estimate so I could finally get it.
When it came, he wanted $ 650 to do some pretty easy stuff. His estimate did NOT include an hourly rate on his «bid.»
I thought it was too expensive so went with another guy on Unilocal named Kellas Electric. Mr. Kellas is awesome and MUCH more affordable. He told me on the phone his hourly rate of $ 90. He showed up on time for the estimate. He ended up charging me less than his initial quote.
I am very happy that I did NOT choose Electro-​Integrity.

Our recessed LED blew out and I had no idea how to replace it. Called an electrician and he had no idea as well. So, I found Todor and he came over and immediately was able to diagnose the issue… just a simple replacement of the trim module. He even helped me pry open the trim because it was painted over the ceiling. Then, he referred me to a lighting company in SOMA and I was able to find the trim replacement there. For all this, Todor didn’t even charge me for the visit! Thanks Todor! I will call you for all electrical services from now on.

Prompt & reliable work. No increase in cost over the estimate. Our job was switching from 110V to 220V in preparation for a duel fuel range. Great work.

We had a few electrical odd jobs I wasn’t totally comfortable doing myself (new outlets, running power to outside for a motion sensor light, etc) I contacted Todor via email and he came by for a quote. We walked through the house chatting about the best ways to do things and the number he got back to me with later was within our budget!
A few days later Ivo came over and did the work. He was able to get most of it done in one afternoon, and then came back after the weekend to finish off the last of it. There was some tricky surface conduit to run in and out of existing pipes and appliances in our garage, but the finished job looks clean and professional. And they were able to minimize the holes in the wall required to fish wiring through.
Great to work with, more than happy to explain things to me. They’ll be the first ones I call next time I need some electrical work done.

Todor was wonderful. Very communicative, he texted or called to update us and to let us know if he couldn’t make it at a certain time. He came in mostly on budget, one extra cost due to an unforeseen needed addition, but again let us know everything as it was happening so no surprises at the end. We passed inspection with flying colors. The inspector actually praised his work and said we chose a good contractor. Enough said. Thank you Todor! We will not hesitate to use you for future electrical upgrades!

I had a burned out ‘passive infrared wall switch’ that turns the ceiling lights on automatically when it senses motion, one of two in a room with two opposing entry doors. The same switch was no longer made so I had to replace both switches so they would ‘talk’ with each other. I called a contractor who was recommended by the electrical store where I purchased the new switch, and he and one of his fellows came over. They collectively couldn’t figure it out. They were at such a loss that they didn’t even charge me.
Then I called a handyman who said he did electrical work, who was referred by my local hardware store… that guy couldn’t do the job either, even after a few hours of paid labor!
So I found Todor on Unilocal.I told him it would be an electrical challenge, and was he up for it. He arrived this morning right in the window of time in which he said he would be here. Polite, thorough, professional, and got the job done that 3 other guys couldn’t do! Thank you, Todor, for getting a challenging electrical job done! I highly recommend him!

I had Todor do the electrical work for my condo conversion after looking for someone in the Castro area who had experience with condo conversion work. He was very good at explaining things and when we had to do a last minute reroute of some air vents he had a contact who came over the next day to fix it. I passed the electrical inspection with no problem. His work included upgrading the lines from the house to the street, installing new outlets, installing lights on the three levels of the outside patio, installing new lighting in the basement and a completely new set of electrical panels that included a panel for the common areas. He even consulted wih me on the types and quality of the various materials as well as the placement of the upgraded line (the more aesthetically pleasing installation was more work, and he agreed that was what he would do if it was his home).
The only bummers. I had were that in order to install an outlet in my bathroom he had to put some holes in my solid redwood paneling in really awkward shapes and didn’t leave any pieces of the wood to try and refill them. Not a big deal if you have drywall. Super bummer in solid redwood– I just wish the pieces were left. The other was that while the new lines were placed in the basement, the old ones were left so I need to figure out how to take those down (he was upfront that he wouldn’t do that, but I would have paid more for it).
All in all, Todor was very patient, very prompt, honest, professional, very resourceful and knows the city inspectors for having worked so much with them which was a big plus. I highly recommend him for condo conversion work and any other electrical needs you may have.

I’m very happy with Todor and electro-​intregirty and have already referred him to my friends.
I called Electro Integrity for a quote on a small project I needed done (install a couple outlets in the basement). Todor came out to give me a quote — he arrived on time and as promised, and gave me the most competetive quote for the work (I called four electricians in total). He also took the time to explain a few things, and answer some questions I had.
When it came time to do the work Todor was very flexible scheduling around some other contractors that were working on another project for me. He came at a time that would work for everyone.
At the end of the day Todor completed the job as agreed, on time, and for the agreed upon price.

Todor came to my home to give me a quote on a kitchen/​bathroom remodel. He was very concientious in working me into his schedule, which was very busy. I did not end up using his services because I wanted to get started on the project before he was available. However, I felt that Todor was very knowledgeable and generous with his time and expertise in talking with me about the project. I fully agree with the other 5 star reviews here and I would not hesitate to use Electro-​Integrity in the future.

I needed to change the receptacle on my 240V outlet to accommodate an EV charger. They were quick, responsive, and dead-​on accurate in their estimate. I was very pleased with how knowledgeable and friendly these guys were. Well done.

INTEGRITY, indeed!
Todor called me right back and was at my house within an hour. The issue was «dead» outlets” and the solution was a re-​set button in an obscure place. It took Todor 3 minutes toidentify and fix the issue. Embarrassingly simple, but I wouldn’t have known. Rather than charge me his usual house call fee, Todor asked for a tenth of his rate and wished me a good day.
What a guy – honest professional, courteous, knowledgeable and someone who understands customer service. I just found my new electrician, and you should too!

Todor and his crew did some Cat6 electrical wiring in my house. They did four runs to a central closet. We were very pleased with his work and the results. Todor was very communicative (via phone and email) and let me know what to expect. He took the time to explain his plan for achieving the work, and was happy to talk through everything as needed. The estimate was reasonable and he completed things within budget. Our home network is now working flawlessly and we have Todor to thank!

I inquired a while back, and they refused to do any work in Daly City. Here’s Todor’s response to my e-​mail when I asked why.
«Daly City is famous to be unpleasant to work with. That’s why most of us keep out of it. Cheers, Todor»
