Call these guys!! They know their trade and are awesome to work with! David and his team (shoutout to Peter and Troy) started with replacing my electrical panel and finished with changing out all the outlets and switches plus some lights too. Their knowledge, attention to detail, post-job clean up and patience with all my add-ons is appreciated! Thank you all again! Hummm...what else can I replace... ;)
I contacted David on Super Bowl Sunday and within an hour he was headed to our home to fix our panel that had been smoking. He was very professional and reasonable especially given the day and urgency of the issue.

David and his team are outstanding. David helped guide my 200 amp panel upgrade through all permitting steps - he was present for each inspection and scheduled them all. He was on great terms with all inspectors and helped get everything done quickly. The installation was done expertly, looks great, and is ready for solar! Thank you very much!
Alvarado Electric did an awesome job in my barber shop installing lights and a switch! I would highly recommend them to my customers and family and anybody that needs a good electrician!
Had a job to install a 240 outlet for an EV vehicle and to install a traditional outdoor barrel sauna. David was very responsive, in time, and had great communication. He also was very creative was able to finish my job in a short period of time. I would highly recommend him and his team.

We recently had Alvarado Electric upgrade our electric panel (& subpanel) to larger amp in preparation for solar and David was great! He corrected the existing subpar patchwork arrangement and he and his assistant replaced it beautifully. He came early for all appointments, gave us clear explanations/bids, and worked seamlessly with the city and SDGE for permits/inspections.
We were so pleased with the quality of his work, we hired him to add an in- door switch for an outside water feature and make some lighting changes in our house. Again, they worked together to efficiently and professionally complete these projects for us. I love, love, love the lighting they did in our hallway and living room! Can't say enough good things about Alvarado Electric...we highly recommend them.
David and his team are very professional, they promptly managed to remedy the numerous electrical problems throughout our home using exceptional skill as well as displaying an in depth knowledge of the material that was worked on. Alvarado Electric has quickly become my primary go to for any needed electrical service, and I definitely recommend this business.
Nice Guys, very professional, price was fair, reasonable, and came on time! The Electricians clean up and took old drywall with them. Thank you and I plan on making Alvarado Electric my go
david and his team have done other work for me, so when i was going to increase from 200 amp to 400 amp in preparation for solar, for my house and my tenant's, i called david. he worked really hard with the city to get the permits and the inspections, prepared the job over a couple days so that when it was time to redo the grid, he was able to do it in 5 hours. it was a monster job and it went beautifully.

Great quality at a good price. I had David re-wire my entire 1925 house over 8 years ago and I have had no issues over those 8 years. David was great about working through my job changes and always explained my options and the pro/con of each option.

David and his team did great work on some upgrades to my home. Even though a part of the job was very challenging, David worked through it to provide an exceptional outcome. I am very pleased with their work.

David removed and installed a ceiling fan in one of my rooms. He showed up early for our appointment. He removed the old fan and explained how it had been installed. He assembled my fan and quickly did the installation. He tested the fan along with the remote to make sure all was functioning as it should. He told me that if I noticed any noise or had any problem to let him know. Excellent work and I highly recommend him.
We recently hired Alvarado Electric to do an upgrade to our meter panels for our condo complex.
David went above and beyond to make this large project as seamless as possible.
Very professional and we are completely satisfied and happy with David's work .
Thank you David and
This is the real deal here. He does what he says he is going to, when he says he is going to do it, and does not hold back in the quality of work he does.
He replaced our entire panel for an 8 unit complex and installed my car charger, ZERO PROBLEMS. He is very friendly and so is the crew that works with him. I HIGHLY recommend using him for any and all your electrical needs. :)

This guy and his small company are the real deal! Not only was he on time or early every time he had to come to our house to meet with an inspector but he was given only four hours to complete a project that should have taken all day (the SDGE inspector told him that morning that he'd be there by 11am!). David and his crew rushed to get it done but was thorough enough to complete it so well that the inspector was impressed, using words like, awesome, great job etc. David even had to crawl under our house in a very small tight (spider-laden) space to run a grounding wire to the front of the house. He upgraded our old (1923) house from 100amps to 200amps and didn't even charge us that much. Thank you David and crew for an amazing job!
David and his assistant did a great job for me. The work was clean and he understood the aesthetic I was trying to achieve. I was very pleased with execution of the job. He was meticulous and didn't leave a spec of dust. Super.

David was able to come out quickly and did a great job! Checked out my electrical panel saw the problem and was able to fix it that night. any electrical project I have I will be calling David again from Alvarado Electric
Not just on time- but early.
Great team, understood my job, jumped right in, did excellent quality work, and I'd hire them again
Once in a while you come across a contractor that is so good to work with you want to share your experience. Enter Alvarado Electric. In my recent residential electrical job I found these guys to be both cost competitive and customer focused. My job wasn't a big one but there were moving parts. Owner David Alvarado listened, understood the issues and patiently explained the options. He and his colleague were prompt, knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. Invoicing was transparent and easy to understand. But the best part is now at home after the sun goes down I really enjoy an improved lighting atmosphere. Thanks Alvarado Electric!
We discovered a dangerous situation in our main panel. David gave us instructions via phone to communicate with the electric company. He was able to replace the dangerous main input and damaged breakers to get our power back on while we go through the permitting process to eventually upgrade our whole panel. We were in a desperate situation. and he was responsive, prompt, helpful, fair, and professional. We have found our electrician for every future project. I highly recommend.
David I wanted to thank you for the superior service of the installation of my Tesla charging unit. From my first experience with your unrivaled ability to troubleshoot a tough electrical problem in my home. To now the absolute professionalism of this installation, I will continue to trust you for all my electrical needs and highly recommend you for any job big or small.
I've had David or his team (Peter and Troy) out for a couple of jobs now. Competitively priced, on time, and professional, I highly recommend Alvarado Electric.

I am a Realtor representing a Buyer who is currently under contract for a house. After our physical inspection we needed an electrician to go and give us a bid on the repair work that needs to be done. Another Realtor referred me to Alvarado Electric. David was incredibly responsive, fitting us in late afternoon of the day we called. He came up with an ideal solution to fix our issues. He was a prince of a guy under less than ideal conditions--with unfriendly dogs and a troubling situation with the Seller. I am now looking forward to having him come to my house and upgrade and relocate my electric panel.
David has done a few jobs for me over the years. He is proficient, professional, and fairly priced.
David and his crew were punctual, efficient and so good to work with. I would highly recommend this company and encourage you to plan in advance as they are in high demand and may need several weeks before they can fit you in. This company is well worth the wait.
David and his team came and helped us rewire our entire 1890's house and replaced the main panel. Our old craftsman house that still had knob & tube wiring and needed lots of love. They did the job quickly and quietly and were finished in 4-5 days. My wife kept changing her mind about the placement of outlets and switches - they accommodated every request right away. When we had an outage at night while they were doing to re-wire (not due to anything they did) - David helped me trouble-shoot late at night. Customer satisfaction is clearly high priority with David and he delivers. He was extremely courteous and respectful to us and our home (+kids) throughout his work. On top of this, he cost is very fair. Will definitely recommend to family and friends. A+++
David was great! Professional and neat. He found the problem with my spa tub and replaced the faulty breaker. While here I asked about a non working outlet and power to my BBQ island. He traced it back to a loose wire. Would definitely recommend him for any electrical work!

I am a real estate agent and David has helped a few of my clients with home electrical projects / repairs. Their feedback about Alvarado Electric has consistently been very positive and I am confident referring David to my clients knowing they will receive top-tier service with great communication and for a fair price. He is very knowledgable and very helpful - thanks David!
David and his team have now completely re-wired two houses for us and replaced the main panels. Both times he got us a quotes fast, got the work done earlier than scheduled, faster than any other companies that gave us quotes, and on budget. He was also the cheapest of everyone who gave us quotes. But the real reason I recommend David is he does meticulous and excellent work. He made changes to the plan for me along the way as I changed my mind. Then I screwed something up with one of the pocket lights that he installed when I was painting and he came back to fix it for free. I have recommended him to a friend who used him to re-wire a historic home and also loved him. Look no further

David and Peter are awesome!!! If you're looking for reliable, trustworthy, and punctual electricians, then look no further. David was extremely professional and communicative throughout the entire process of my project. I will definitely be contacting David again for other projects around my home in the near future.

We had several electrical issues that needed to be addressed in our 1930 home. David was always professional, responsive and honest. We will definitely call him in the future.

David and Peter installed new led recessed and under-counter lighting for me on Saturday and did an excellent job! I was so thrilled I tried to retrofit an led light in my bathroom, but once I was done the light didn't work. I called David and, over the phone, he helped me troubleshoot and fix the problem. He could just have easily come back and charged me for a new visit. Thanks David for your help and your customer service. You'll get my business and my recommendations in the future.
Our 1930s house needed a panel upgrade to support AC and a few other electrical appliances. We got quotes from a few companies and Alvarado Electric was the most competitive by far. Service was also done on time with no issues. Would highly recommend this company

Called this Company after having 3-of her Companies look at our situations with flickering lights, not just when several appliances were being used... After talking to this owner of Alvarado Electric in just 15 minutes, David solved this problem & We have not had any Flickering lights again... They were prompt, clean, polite & did their troubleshooting in a time full manner & kept us informed by phone on every step of their work. Highly recommend this Company for all types of electrical upgrades, change overs to LED fixtures, remodel changes & up-grading electrical service.
I have used Alvarado Electric at least a couple of times. He has upgraded my circuit box and completed the wiring when I had my bathroom remodelled. Both times his company was great. He said that the circuit box would require one day and it was completed ontime. The person that my general contractor used could not wire my bathroom properly and he was taking time away from the ability of the general contractor finishing my bathroom. I told my general contractor that I wanted Alvarado Electric to wire my bathroom. David was at my place rapidly and the bathroom wiring was completed in short order properly so that the general contractor could complete construction. I would recommend Alvarado Electric without hesitance.

I had a horrible experience with this company, He came out to do an estimate for me.
Dave the owner gave me a decent estimate and we scheduled the work for the following week. He came recommended so I gave him a try. I was in need of ceiling fan installation and outside wall lighting. I also needed him to install J-boxes in two rooms. I changed my mind and wanted to save a little money and put the fans in myself. But still needed him to do everything else. He texted me that I just needed a handyman to do the wall cuts and wiring. Then I called him and said I didn't understand why he didn't want to do the rest of the job and he said, it wasn't worth it, because it was to far. He's in North Park, I'm in Poway. That's 30 minutes max. And continued to say he doesn't drive a beater car, his truck costs to much gas. Very unprofessional! His logo is No Job Is To Small! Hilarious. He has no people skills.

I needed an electrician to re-attach and reconnect a ceiling light in my mom's kitchen. I contacted Alvarado and left a message. Dave returned my call, and made an appointment to go to my mom's condo. I told him that my mom is hearing impaired but she can text. I texted him the light fixture and the location on the ceiling where it was removed from. The communication between Dave and me, and Dave and my mom went very smoothly. He finished the job. It cost a little more than the estimate that he had provided over the phone, but at the end of the day, my mom said that she is extremely happy with the job that he did. I just today had a chance to stop by, and sure enough, they have done a very nice job. It looks better than the original.

David does excellent work. I had additional switches and lights installed and outlets moved. He is thoughtful about the work and offered options along the way to insure he provide the best finished product.
