5 Best Electricians in Hayward (2026)

Ranked by real Google ratings and review volume · How we chose

We compared 19 electricians in Hayward on Google Maps · 5 listed · How we rank

A breaker that keeps tripping or a panel older than the house next door is the kind of problem where you want the right electrician, not the nearest one. The electricians in Hayward on this page hold more than 340 Google reviews between them, rated from 4.8 to 5.0, and the review bases are small enough that each individual review counts. Only Rising Sun Electrify lists a Hayward street address; Go Brilliant works from Union City, and the rest are service-area businesses with no public street address.

Short answer: The most-reviewed electrician here is Go Brilliant Electric, rated 4.8 from more than 110 Google reviews, based in Union City. Tarin Electric & Lighting (5.0, more than 80 reviews) leans commercial and industrial, and Skyline Electric (5.0, more than 60 reviews) handles homes and businesses in Hayward and Castro Valley. Review counts are modest, so ask each for a written quote and license details.

How to read these scores

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the business, compared with the other electricians we looked at. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from over a hundred people carries more weight than a 5.0 from a few dozen. Recency shows how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What drives electrician prices around Hayward

We don’t publish a price table here, because none of these businesses state fixed rates we could source. Electrical prices depend on whether the job is a small repair or a larger project like a panel upgrade, rewire or EV charger, the age of the wiring, permit and inspection needs, and how much wall or ceiling work is involved. Get a written quote and ask what is included, especially for panel and rewire work.
