Reviews
UPDATED: After all the chaos of the original panel install, Yemin went above and beyond to make things right. A technician was sent out on a weekend to get everything up and running. They've kept in constant contact with me regarding all the panel inspections, and now everything works like a dream. It's also my understanding that the technician running the install is no longer with the company. Will definitely call them if I have any future electrical needs.
On the Sunday after Thanksgiving, a breaker was tripped and could not be reset. We called American Electric and they were responsive and gave us the option of coming out that day, or saving the cost of a weekend/holiday call and coming out Monday. When they came out, as scheduled, they said that the breaker was arcing, was a fire hazard and due to the age of the unit we'd need to replace the whole panel. After several delays, related to inspections and poor weather, including one surprise unscheduled visit, the panel install begins in the new year. I was told it would take 3 hours. It took ten. Beyond when my disabled adult children returned home from school, beyond when my young daughter needed to go to bed. It turns out They (management? purchasing department?Bob, the god of electricity?) provided them with the wrong panel. My entire home is electric, and we were in the dark, with no ability to prepare food, or heat our home. My car was in our garage, which requires power to open. The workers never communicated reasons for the delay. We had opted to not run a generator to the fridge because it would only be 3 hours and I didn't want to leave a door open to let out the heat or my pets. Communication would have allowed us to make better decisions. The job is theoretically done, and not only is the original problem (everything on one breaker no with no power) we additionally now have other rooms with no power.
This review is long overdue! It's been a long holiday week away so im getting around to it just now.
There's a lot of electrical companies here in the valley, but so happy I ultimately decided to go with American Electric. I got quotes from four different electrical companies, and ahhh...to be honest, there's something about first in-person interactions that seem to just weigh in on helping you determine whether to move forward with them. Aside from american electric, the other three companies i had this issue with. They were either super aggressive, not friendly, and not really knowledgeable about what patch work would need to be done for the lights installation cause they would have to open my ceiling up for the installations.
On initial encounter, the first meeting (to me), is a big deal because I had a ton of light fixtures I needed installed, and I wanted to work with a company/crew who knew what they were doing, and also who seemed like they were overall pleasant and respectful staff. That was how I feel my first visit encounter with Yarin (who was so awesome, btw), went. Super nice and knowledgeable guy who made me feel comfortable in picking them to work with.
As mentioned, it was a TONNN of lights that I was having installed and everything went so smoothly with Yarin and American Electric I could not be any more happier.
I have 25 foot ceilings in my house and I needed a bunch of lights installed EVERYWHERE (as you can see in the videos/pictures posted). The hardest part of the entire job: On my 25 foot ceiling, I had 9 junction boxes pre-installed in a tic-tac-tow formation. I needed to have all 9 junction boxes rearranged throughout the ceiling, and I needed 4 more additional junction boxes installed, for a total of 13 junction boxes tor 13 chandeliers. It took almost 2 weeks for all the light installations throughout that you see in the pics/vids, and the final result is phenomenal!!!
Super thankful that I had Yarin to work with! He was on top of communication with me and responding to my texts and calls in a timely manner. No problems encountered with installation cause he is very skilled and knowledgeable, and knew what to do! Overall super nice, hardworking guy! It's hard looking for honest contractor companies, and sooo happy I found American Electric!

Thank goodness for this company! It's very difficult to find electricians that are responsive, polite, and willing to work within a constraint and these guys handled everything professionally from the very beginning. Yarin was the installer and I would hire him again! They had to add a new power outlet for a new dishwasher and made the process as painless as possible.
Thank you very much I will recommend you to other people in the SFV.
Needed emergency help on a Friday night and American Electric Service - Los Angeles contacted me immediately, diagnosed the problem instantly, and could not have charged me less. Will be sure to keep their info; greatly appreciate their friendly response!
Interesting it says free virtual estimate on their Yelp page, cuz that is not what they told me.
I sent them the detail of the work needed, they said $25 to get the estimate and if I hire them the $25 would be credit back. With lots of other good electrician options in the area, I really don't find that appealing. So I told them how about I send them pictures on top of all the details given for the quote in case I'm not going to move forward with their service. They just flat-out replied they didn't see any photo so it's going to be $25.
We'll, no thank you! Where is that free virtual estimate again? They do replied mighty fast though to tell me it's not free.

Friday half of my house shut down I called American electric explained I have 3 kids and I can't stay without electricity for the weekend they sent someone an hour after changed the breaker and fixed the issue
Tha k you so much for your prompnt respond and great service highly recommended.
Very impressed with the quality of the work and reliability of the company. Originally I needed two lightbulbs replaced on my vaulted ceiling. However I had the light fixtures changed out to match the others in my home. It was a daunting task for me, but easy peasy for the electrician. Happy with the work. I highly recommend this company.

We had a great experience. Yarin is very responsive and professional. George and Jack did excellent work at our place and were very polite, helpful, and clean. We will use American Electric for any future electrical needs.
Work done: rewired the house and installed new breakers and dedicated lines. Also installed a 50amp electric vehicle charger (ChargePoint) along with dedicated line and breaker.

They responded right away to my request for an outdoor outlet installation.
I bought an electric solar blanket reel for my pool but didn't have an outlet close enough.
They came out for an estimate same day and scheduled the service for the next week. Gave me a good deal too.
The installation went smoothly, the guys were fast and efficient. My pool reel works beautifully and the waterproof cover they put over the outlet makes me feel safer with it being so close to the pool.
I highly recommend this company!!
Roberto was excellent. He was very knowledgeable, prompt, and professional. He gave expert opinions. He took care of the work straight away, and I feel a strong sense of confidence.
Unfortunately, we were disappointed with the work of American Electric. The work was fine, but lots of details were missed. For example, I had to ask them to make the recessed lighting they installed flush against the ceiling several times. They often did more damage than required when installing new lights, which was then costly to fix. I hate to leave negative reviews, but I'd go with a different electrical service.

I ended up choosing another electrical company only because this one had no earlier time slots for the emergency that I had. So, I wanted to post a positive review for the response time and courteous conversation I had with the electrician who called me.
I'm sure their job is as efficient as their response to inquiries.
CARLOS came out on a Friday evening, 5:20pm. He thought he would be at our home at 3pm but traffic delayed him. He gave excellent service even though he must have been tired. Hubby thought he could replace outlets and dimmer switch but it turned out it was better to have a professional like CARLOS!! He also hung up our new semi-flush mount drum fixture in the dining room. Would recommend him in a heart beat!!!

These guys offered me a $25 charge for estimate. They came out, immediately told me that they needed $175 to do the estimate. I protested. showed them the email, finally they agreed to give me the estimate. Then they gave me an estimate of $1100 to replace some outlets. I paid them the $25 and sent them on there way. Then, they offered to do it for $500. I still sent them on there way. I watched a youtube video and bought the outlets for $20. It took 2 hours with no electrical training. Buyer beware.

Just moved into a new house and needed a couple outlets added - one in our walkin closet and one in the bathroom so I could hook up the bidet I definitely spent a lot on.
I found this company very close by and called them up. Yarin was the lead and was incredibly professional and helpful throughout the whole process. He explained everything to me and we ran through different options before settling on what the course of action was going to be. Alan was a nice guy as well and was helping Yarin all throughout.
My outlets look good now, I hope to be installing my futuristic booty cleaner very soon. Thanks guys
We had AES install a pendant light in our new nursery. They were very professional and were able to install the light even though there was an issue because it was from Europe. Yarin and Brian were very friendly and helpful and cleaned up immaculately. I wouldn't hesitate to use this company again!
When American electric Services arrived but couldn't get in through the guard gate in my community because of no Driver's Licences between the two of them. That should have stopped me but I was somewhat desparate to get the electricity back on to the area where it was off. I had already checked all the breakers. They were all working. But after 3 hours of them testing they said a breaker was bad. They spoke with their boss who said he had access to only one of those old Symco breakers and it would run between $800-$1300 !!?? For a 50 dollar breaker? I told him no thanks paid his workers for their attempts to remedy the problem And sent them away.
Found the breaker myself for $50. The workers worked hard but the owner of the company is a money-grabber. Stay away.
This goes down as the worst encounter with a business claiming to be electricians. They want to charge $25 minimum just to come out? No legitimate electrician Will do this. Then when they show up they want to negotiate with you on price for the job. It was ridiculous... At first they were telling me it would be $450 to diagnose and fix a wonky light in the bathroom... Then they wanted an extra $500 to install three GFCIs! Are you kidding me?
When I told them flatly that we are done and I'm not getting My job completed by them... Like a crazy used car salesman they start asking questions and more questions and more questions why not? I told him I had an electrician who was going to do the entire job for under $200 coming the next day. The guy says let me make a phone call... Then he comes back and says he'll do it for $500?!?.
Was this guy deaf? He cuts his price 45%, but he's still more than double what I've got coming the next day? The worst part was that the guy would not leave. Wasting my time. The only reason why I tolerated meeting them at all was because they were recommended... (Sic).... By somebody we will never ever consider seriously again for their recommendations!
So why one star? That's because I can't bestow zero stars!!! Consider yourself warned to never ever waste 2 seconds with these guys.
Yarin and American Electric Service came through big time today! Last night my side noticed that our tankless water heater wasn't on nor was our alarm system key pad. We flipped the breakers and nothing happened. I called Yarin at AES this morning and gave him a rundown of the situation. He set up an appointment to come by only a few hours later! Very impressive.
Yarin called me within the specific window of service to update me on his eta, which was great to know what was going on. Upon his arrival, he inspired our breaker box and the outlets in question. While doing so, I get a quick lesson in watts, voltage, current, etc. I still don't know what any of it means, but it was nice to feel like part of the team.
After trouble shooting and testing the outlets in question, Yarin determined the best solution was to replace the outlets themselves. This was a painless, quick, easy and affordable plan. Now everything is back up and running, my wife thinks I'm taking care of business and things are good. Thanks to Yarin and the AES team for coming through and saving the day! I can't recommend them enough!

Picture this: You just stocked the fridge and got the kids ready for bed...then *BOOM* half the electricity in your house fails.
You panic, calling every electrician you know at 9:30 pm, trying to move your 600 pound refrigerator...You get the genius idea to contact Yelp electricians and Yarin decides to bless you.
After messaging multiple contractors who charge $100 just to show up, Yarin said he could save me money with a FaceTime call. I showed him the circuit breaker and after a couple of resets, the power came back on! Yarin told me to call LADWP about the circuits if the problem persists.
American Electric Service is invested in long-term client relationships, not fees. I am impressed.
Welp, this definitely could've gone better.
We reached out to American Electric Service in hopes they could 1) mount/wire 2 sconces on a bookshelf with pre-existing wiring and 2) complete the wiring for our towel warmer rack.
Even before they came out, I had received a couple quotes in the $250-350 range. In hopes of not wasting their time or mine, I specifically communicated this to them, explaining that -- while I understood they required an on-site check (for nonrefundable $25 fee) to give me an exact estimate -- this was my target. ***I also asked that if they anticipated they would be wildly off from that range, to simply let me know so we could save everyone the hassle.*** They informed it was still productive/worthwhile to continue forward with this in mind.
Cut to: their electrician at my house quoting me a price of nearly $2100. This was exactly the scenario I feared. In an attempt to make SOMETHING work, I set aside the towel rack and tried to negotiate a fair deal for them to simply install the sconces. They quoted me a price of $450, still well above my previous estimates. In an effort to be a good customer, I increased my own budget target and offered to hire them at $350, the top price of my estimates. This felt MORE than fair, especially as I (the customer!) was willing to spend more to make it work. They declined this offer and still took my $25 despite every effort I made to prevent this exact thing from happening.
In the end: it seems my $25 estimate fee really just confirmed that AES is most interested in squeezing out the money rather than communicating effectively with clients or making professional efforts to complete a job. I would encourage other customers to look elsewhere.
These guys are absolutely fantastic. A lot of the electrical work that have been done in our ADU had previously been done incorrectly. American electric service came in and fixed everything quickly, affectively and they were very friendly. Yarin is great

This company was awesome. I needed a dedicated breaker for a new electrical gate. They were informative, friendly, and reasonable pricing. They worked hard and no sitting around. They went as far to cover the cost of a plumbing line that got broke during the dig for the new line even though it was a odd water line and no1 knew it would be there. I offered to pay for it, but kindly they covered it for free. I recommend them and will request them soon for more work.
Hi, they helped get 6 Nest Smoke Alarms up and running in no time. Yarin was awesome. Great experience all the way around. I highly recommend.
Oh my god, Yarin. The best.
Ok, so it's Thanksgiving day, and out of nowhere, our stove and range hood are consistently tripping. It was tripping so frequently that sometimes, we would reset the breaker, and it would trip again by the tame we got back to the kitchen. We still had a stuffing, rib roast, carrot soup, gravy and apple crisp to go, so you can imagine, I was panicked.
I called American Electric Service and it went straight to Yarin, who talked me down from my hysteria and assured me that even though there might be available crews, everything would be super expensive because it was a holiday. He proposed a few ways to adjust the stove, like unplugging everything else or plugging the stove temporarily in a different outlet, and he would be able to take a look later in the week. He even face timed ON A HOLIDAY to take a look at the stove and breaker.
Anyway, it's Sunday morning now (they could have come Friday, but we were unavailable) and they replaced the breaker, and hopefully all is fine now, but could not recommend them enough. They were super fast, helpful, available, and just overall professional.

Yarin went above and beyond to repair our smoke detector which required a 32 ft ladder to reach as well as replace the light bulbs to two of our chandeliers. Highly recommend!
Electricians were late by about an hour. They came on a Tuesday to take a look at the job for a quote. They promised that someone would give me the quote that same afternoon. I didn't receive the quote until Monday of the next week (6 days later). They kept telling me they were looking into it and would get back to me, but they never would. I had to keep on prodding them for the quote I paid for.
The electricians themselves were nice and seemed knowledgeable once they arrived. I believe their lateness was caused by the company's bad scheduling and not their fault.

Murphy's Law determined that I would have electrical issues with my condo in North Hollywood on a Sunday. I called six companies before I got to American Electric Services. I spoke with Yarin, and explained the situation, he immediately made a call to see if he could dispatch someone in the area. He then offered to take a look at the situation via FaceTime. He solved the problem over the phone saving me money, stress and time. This company is my new go-to for all my electrical needs. Thanks again so much, Yarin!
I setup an appointment for an estimate on replacing my bathroom ceiling fan with an identical fan and replacing a dimmer light switch. They emailed me an electronic contract saying I agree to pay them $25 dollars for coming out no matter what (RED FLAG #1). The technician arrives on time and immediately says that he won't be able to do the job today because he has a bigger job to go do, but he will give me an estimate and come back tomorrow to do the job (RED FLAG #2). So I show him the job - and he gives me an outrageous quote of $1200 (RED FLAG #3). I later got the job done by another electrician for only $300 (75% less). Looks like these guys are in the business of collecting $25 until they find fools willing to pay way too much. I feel like an idiot for not heeding the first red flag.
They responded very quickly, showed up on time, quickly resolved the issue, and were very efficient! I will definitely use them again! Great experience!

They did a great job getting our spa back up and running. Yarin showed me how to identify a 110 circuit vs 220, which was very helpful. I would definitely recommend American Electric for your electrical needs!
Yarin and his team are extremely professional and had great installation experience. I hired them for light installation and adding an additional outlet. The outlet work is clean with minimum amount of dry wall holes at unnoticeable spots. They use wall tape to seal the hole and do an amazing job cleaning up the drywall dust by placing plastic covering on my carpet. Yarin walking me through the electrical panel and explained the electrical code requirement and the installation procedures before he starts working.
On the light installation, I bought a light with 3 feet slack for a 13 feet ceiling. My wife facial expression is universal. Yarin ask her what is wrong. She said it is hanging too high up. YARIN teams took the light apart and inspect the configuration. He told me that home depot sell similar light cable that can help extend the cable length.
Here is the end result and his team helped my wife to try out different type of bulb during the installation.
I am very pleased by their work, their focus on details, and their fair pricing. I will definitely use them again for my next electrical project and highly recommend their craftsmanship.
It's My 3rd time using American Electric.
This time it's was wow
Last Thursday at 9pm the old fluorescent light in my bathroom stop working, so I text Yarin the crew manager from American Elecric ,
He called me back at 8am and said that he'll come at the end of the day around 4-6pm.
When he showed up at 4:15pm with 2 of his workers he understood that he can get it all fix by himself in 1 hour and send his helpers to go home.
He replaced 4 can lights for LED by himself (including attic work)
Wow!
Thank You Yarin
I'll call you for sure for any electrical work that I'll ever need
2. Last year Yarin and his crew replace my main electrical panel box for 200 Amp and deal perfectly with the city and power company.
American Electric also got me a grate worker to patch the stucco around the new panel.(10/2019)
3. Yarin and his crew installed all new lights at my back yard , the kids love to play there , it's feel like a day light at night time. 6/2018

I had a power outage in my kitchen area. Yarin, the electrician, was very responsive and FaceTimed me to walk through some trouble shooting before his company would make a visit. He was thorough with his steps and his explanations. With his guidance, I was able to resolve the issue (a specific breaker tripped). Definitely recommend American Electric Service!
Yarin & Cruz setup our ceiling fans that we needed installed very quickly and professionally. They took the time to figure out why our dimmers weren't working and it was because the fans had non dimmer bulbs packaged in despite being a dimmer fan. We purchased some dimmer bulbs and fixed the issue, why the fan came with non dimmer bulbs is weird but Yarin & Cruz troubleshooting made it an inexpensive fix. Everything else came out great
5+ stars to Yarin and AES. Yarin came in to my new rental home on a Sunday night and rewired four bedrooms where ceiling fans were mysteriously tied to the same circuit as the overhead lights. It was a real mess until the pleasant and professional Yarin straighten things out. Rest assured this is a solid company
The electricity in my kitchen went out and when I reset the breaker, it would not turn my kitchen lights back on. Explained my issue to yarin and he was able to help me through the phone. Saved me a ton. 100 percent going with these guys next time with my electricity problems.
Yarin and Cruz were AMAZING! we had a few electrical projects to take care of- they called ahead of time to ensure they had the tools required to complete all jobs.
When they arrived they prepared a reasonable quote and explained (in detail!) what needed to be done. They even took videos of our transformers to better explain what was happening. They were efficient and cleaned up after themselves.
We had wanted our smart doorbell installed- they completed the job, and later on the doorbell stopped working. Yarin called and FaceTimed me to troubleshoot, and when it still didn't work, they both came back out again the next day to ensure the job was completed to our satisfaction- at no charge!
I would highly recommend this company. They were prompt, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond.

Great job on attic gable fan with dedicated line to breaker. Did great job ceiling fan with double switch with dedicated line to breaker. And also dedicated line 20 amp breaker to outlet in bedroom for mini split. Price great and did it quickly.
Thanks to Yarin and his crew.
Francisco changed out all of our old flush mount fixtures with ballasts in our hallway and garage and installed new LEDs in our condominium complex today and we are all over the moon with how great of a job he did. He was very kind, personable, reliable and did the job in a timely manner. Also, the cost of replacing all of the lights was very reasonable and not expensive like most of the other quotes we got from other electricians. It took us about two months to find a company like American Electric Service, but it was well worth the wait to get the job done right. There are so kind and wonderful over the phone. The other competitors in the LA area were NOT - AT ALL and I called twelve different companies. We will work with American Electric Service for all of our electrician needs in the future. You guys get an A+++ from our HOA board. We're also looking forward to saving money on our electric bill! Thank you for everything! If you're reading this, I'll save you some time - look no further. I highly recommend you work with this company.

I called American Electric Service and requested a rush service to remove and replace a ceiling fan on a angled ceiling. The team went to work immediately and sent Yarin T. to perform the work. Yarin was highly professional and explained what he would do. I received an estimate at that time. Upon approving the estimate, Yarin went to work immediately and removed and replaced my ceiling fan quickly. I appreciated that he was especially careful of the ceiling fan that was removed because it had crystals and a lot of ornamentation. I highly recommend American electric service. They were great!
I needed a 14-50 NEMA outlet installed with a new dedicated line from my panel. My panel is over 100 ft in the back of the house from where the outdoor outlet would be installed. The 2 man crew had to go under the house to run the #6/3 wires & conduits. The outlet has a lockable weatherproof cover. George & his helper were professional & the job was done to my complete satisfaction. George even installed my EV Charger, which was not part of the quote. These guys aren't cheap; but, fair. I received come on lowball bids from other companies before they came out to see the job! I'm certain the price would have changed. I highly recommend American Electric Service, Inc.
Alright so we were looking to get some recessed lighting done at my house and we decided on American Electric. The guys that came out were chill and professional and gave me a solid price. Couple gripes with the work though. They did tell me I would need to find my own drywall repairer, but I didn't think they needed to make so many excess holes.

I needed to trouble shoot my electrical panel, since I had one circuit breaker pop every once in a while at the worse time possible. I requested an appointment with American Electric Services and I could not be happier. The guys that came to do my service call are true professional. Thank you very much George and Henry for taking care of my troubles. They came on the following day available and took care of it. I am very happy with the overall customer service and would definitely recommend them. I will definitely call them back for my electrical troubles and upgrades!! Thanks again George and Henry!!
I made a request on Yelp Thursday afternoon and they were able to come out immediately if needed. George came and fixed our Nest doorbell on Friday morning. Fast and reliable service
I've had 2 jobs done with American Electric Service, and I can tell you they really have a terrible process for quoting projects. On all occasions they come out with a quote that is ridiculously high prices for the job, they then usually wait for you to gawk at the price and then start to negotiate to the actual price. For example I was quoted $1925 to install a tesla outlet, they then told me they would take $600 off, and after i shopped the job around to other vendors they then took $525 off. I've found the only way to actually get to a fair price is to spend quite a bit of effort researching competitive pricing and even at that point, they are priced higher than most electricians in the valley. A word of advice for the management of this company, try offering a fair price from the beginning vs putting the work on the customer to negotiate and find your actual price. Most customers don't have time to not get screwed by your pricing, you might want consider prioritizing retaining customers.
The electricians, Robert and Francisco who came to fix a problem I was having with my wireing were terrific. They were professional, curtious, knowledgeable. I highly reccomend American Electric.
Fabulous service. Yarin was so knowledgeable, helpful, thorough. I wouldn't hesitate to use his services again. Thank you!
Yarin and Chris were amazing! Solved my issues quickly and efficiently. Would definitely recommend these 2 guys for all your electrical needs.
I'm glad I reached out to American Electric Service after trying another company and getting an estimate that was way over what the cost should have been. Yarin came to evaluate the work I needed done and offered to take a look at anything else I needed help troubleshooting. He was helpful, thorough, and did the work quickly and for a fair price. Definitely recommend!
Responded to my on line inquiry within 10 mins with an initial quote and availability
Confirmed availability and the team showed up as promised
discovered the problem , had the replacement parts needed and repaired .....excellent experience
I'm so happy I chose to work with American electric service for my outdoor lights remodeling! They are very friendly people who care about making sure I'm satisfied throughout the process too. I can proudly say I'll recommend them! Not only are they amazing at what they do, they continue to exceed their client's expectations as well. My home was designed and built well with beautiful lights . I love your work ethics, guys. Thank you!!
Very professional service. They diagnosed my dead outlet quickly and replaced it. They also came up with a plan for lighting my yard and doing it safely. Definitely recommended. Good communication and easy to understand.

Yarin was great! He solved all our problems in a brisk! He knew exactly what was going on, problem that could not be fixed by others.
I called the company in the morning and gave me the appointment for the same afternoon.
Price was very competitive.
Love the service.
We had a problem with power going out to a section of our house and needed an electrician. Yarin was a great help in figuring out our problems. He was very professional and informative. The whole time he explained everything he was doing and how the problem came to be. Knowing this will help down the line to prevent issues again. I would definitely call them again!

Prompt response to messaging in yelp. Easy to set up technician visit. Performed job on same day. Clean and professional. All in all a very good experience.
Yarin helped us install a new chandelier and new ring doorbell. He was very patient with us and and took his time getting it right. Price was fair. Would recommend to anyone looking for electrical tasks.
I contacted several different electricians but I chose Yarin's company. I did get another cheaper offer, but Yarin showed me that some wires were not enclosed to code. I decided to go with him because he was right. Another electrician may have done the job but they would not have fixed the wires to code. Yarin and his associate did a fine job in connecting a water heater timer to a new outlet. He also installed another because of code issues with the wires. Now my new water heater is all set. Thanks for doing a great job!
Team at American came in Thanksgiving day and brought power back to our bedroom. They were professional, tidy and transparent. We'll be back for more!!
Replaced our electrical outlet as it was sparking, did so quickly and safely. Awesome job.

My electricity had gone out in part of my home. I had 3 other electro and come to my home, they could not find the problem after 4-5 hours. American Electric came out, found the problem within 90 minutes and repaired the problem. The company is knowledgeable and professional.
Yarin! ....Yarin, Yarin Yarin!! Remember that name because this is the electrician who solved all of our problems. We just moved into our first home and I had tried to change out a ceiling fan to a flush mount light fixture. It looked like a can of worms when I opened up the outlet. Suddenly lights throughout the house weren't working and I knew I had to call in a pro.
I called American Electric Service and not only were they were super quick with a response and helped me set up an appointment right away.
Yarin showed up ready to work and was so professional, courteous and very down to earth. He explained everything to me in easy to understand terms and was able to figure out the problem. He said he loves figuring out these issues because its kind of like a puzzle to him, which I knew meant he wasn't going to walk away until the job was done to perfection!
He went above and beyond to make sure everything was 100% to our satisfaction and he left it clean and tidy.
We were very impressed and will 100% be referring Yarin and American Electric Service to our friends and family! Thank you Yarin!

They did a great job installing additional outlets and my project still I needs to drywall patch and paint. They did let me know that I needed to paint and patch. The electrical outlets were installed very professionally and they cleaned up after themselves. I found them on Yelp. Reasonably price. I would recommend them.

I signed an agreement to pay $25. I was given an appointment for 3 days later at 10 am. No show at 10 am. I received a phone call saying they would be here at noon. They were a no show at noon. i called back and was told they would be here by 2 pm. No show at 2 pm. I called back at 2 pm, and was told they would be there by 3:30 pm. I told them I simply cannot wait any longer.
Yarin from American Electric Service did a terrific job. He found an obsolete part the same day (someone else would have special ordered it and it may have taken days or weeks before it arrived). He gave me great advice as to the best solution for the problem and he even went out of his way and fixed a light that another electician had recently installed poorly. I highly recommend him and woul hire him again, should the need arise. He has earned my trust!
Amazing work by Yarin and Alan. They installed my ceiling fan perfectly! They even found that the current box was broken and replaced it for me. Super nice and cleaned up! I highly recommend this company
Had 8 recessed lights installed recently with American Electric Service. Yarin, George and Allan were great and the final lighting is gorgeous! Their initial response time was good and the amount of time and information shared was more than expected.
During the all day job, they went above and beyond to keep the ceiling looking good even though they had a lot of work to do to connect wires where none existed before and no attic to work from.
Yarin kept in touch with me and the crew throughout the project to make sure everything was going smoothly. George had some very good suggestions and recommendations as to placement and lighting options. I am very, very happy with my new lighting and will definitely use them again!
Great service,on time , professional and knowledgeable
Yarin was very pleasant and helpful

My thermostat still doesn't work after electrician tried to troubleshoot it. Need him back to house to check.
Very glad I called. I was going to do a DIY on replacing a broken electrical outlet. What the outlet had behind it was an octopus of wires. Stopped everything and contacted AES due to their rating and location.
Yarin and Alan came out. Really nice, down to earth guys. They explained what they planned to do, and completed the work in a timely manner. Professional and very courteous. Thank you both, again!

Yarin was an excellent electrician! He fixed our electrical issues in a timely manner and was very communicative with my husband about the issues and how they need to be fix . Thank you for all your hard work.
I was having issues with my Google Nest thermostat at home and decided to call this business. I wanted to have my AC working that same day but unfortunately all their technicians were busy. Yarin asked if we can FaceTime and he helped me solve the issue over the phone. He went beyond all expectations and we solved it in about 25 minutes. Thank you so much for not only helping me fix my issue but being an amazing human being.
Our circuit breaker for our AC needed to be replaced. Spoke to Yarin and he was able to get 2 of his electricians to come over within a few hours. They replaced our circuit breaker and we were back in business. Thank you!
Thanks for the great service, Clean, we had electric outlet issue. We had great communication, Job turned out well. Henry and his crew did a great job yes we would recommend American Electric Service.

Gerson and Francisco were awesome! They were very thorough in identifying the issue and provided some great solutions at a reasonable rate.
Yarin and Athor did a very thorough and comprehensive job. At first when they arrived, I was a little unsure because there was a bit of fast talking going on and I was unsure if they were going to: 1. Address my issue and only my issue? Or 2. Make more issues than I called them with? But once they calmed down a bit and understood what I wanted, what I needed and that I had a strict budget I needed to adhere to, they got down to business.
I believe they fixed my issue and I believe everything is now working properly. Most importantly, Yarin gave me his information and said I could reach out if I had any more issues--follow through and follow up is key and I trust Yarin to do so, as he stated he would.
As for Athor, great, agreeable and amicable young man who is learning on the job and seemed to have good customer service skills---identify what the customer needs and the way the customer wants to be communicated to and tailor your approach to that style of communication.
Well done, Athor and Yarin, I hope everything keeps working so I don't have to call you again!
George and the team upgrade my panel box before couple days and they did amazing job! They arrived at time and the team was really organized. When they disconnected my existing panel box they still give me power with extension cord for my kids computer and for the Frigidaire. They did safe and great job.
The costumer service is top notch.
You will not be disappointed if u will go with american electric service.

I had an amazing experience with this company especially Yarin! Yarin was so accommodating he fixed all the lights in my back and front yard in pretty much one day! They all work now! He was honest, communicative and overall just a pleasure to deal with. After fixing the lights he also installed some brand new ones and now everything looks incredible! Thank you Yarin!

Yarin came out and saved the day! Look no further for a skilled and passionate professional electrician. He loves and honors his profession. I'm so pleased with the job he did. He was creative and really went above and beyond to solve an issue in my home! He stayed within my budget too!!
What a joke, they ask for $25 just to come out and give you an estimate :-) . I requested a quote for the same job from dozens of other electrical companies, and not a single one asked for payment just to come out and give an estimate. I said, how about I will provide you with pictures of the current panel and wires location, and the scheduling person said that no, it has to be in person and has to be $25 for the visit. I said thank you, but no. I wonder how many people actually fall for that.
They came and installed this emporia power monitor and did a great job. I talked with another electrician who didn't even think it was possible. But they came, figured it out, and made sure it all worked and made sense.
Very happy.
Yarin did a great job installing a ceiling light fixture for me on my balcony. He was wearing a mask and was very polite, professional, and courteous. He even made sure that my light was connected to my smart device so that I could control it on my phone. I would recommend them. They also have competitive pricing.
Yarin came on a Sunday and was incredibly thorough in our many many (self inflicted) electrical issues. Our ceiling fan was poorly done by us , we were having switches trip and breakers break. It was long overdue. Yarin went over pricing before anything started and then spent the time to quote us on our long list of desires for our home. Not only is it a huge relief that several items were checked off the list, it was also a huge relief it was done safely. Not to mention we had a great time too! We look forward to having Yarin back to our home to start checking off more boxes to complete our dream home.

Hired Yarin a second time to install a hardwired dishwasher. Great service , friendly , covid safe wore a mask, would give Yarin 6 stars if I could! Happy customer here!
American Electric has become my go to electricians for all my home needs! Yarin, Chris, & George were the best group of electricians I have ever had. In the future I will DEFINITELY be giving them a call for my electric needs. I am happy to have found an honest, hard working, and qualified company
Very happy with service. Arrived at my home in 30 min prepared with mask and equipment. Quickly assessed the situation and began troubleshooting our electrical issues. Was prepared to call for back up and assured us our electrical issue would be resolved and explained clearly what was causing the issue. Once the issue was identified went further and ensured that the existing wiring was corrected and gave proper recommendations for making the outlets In our home were child safe as well, thanks for the amazing and speedy service Yarin!
Yarin helped me trouble shoot over the phone and I was able to fix it on the spot for free. Will come back to them for any future work and appreciate the gesture of good will. Thanks!!
Yarin took the time, and listened to all my concerns when skillfully installing fixtures in 3 rooms. Nice guy as well.
I only have incredible things to say about the service Yarin gave us. We were skeptical at first but when he arrived and we explained what the issues were, our doubts were put to ease. Yarin is very knowledgeable and experienced. So he immediately went around the whole house checking all electric outlets, he went to the garage to check the power coming into the house, he checked the circuit breaker and knew how to solve the issues we were having. It's a blessing my husband found you in yelp and you came out to save the day so to speak. Thank you so much, Yarin.

Ask for George and Jack ! Super helpful and informative!! Super nice. Fast and quick. Most of all honest. Provided options!
Yarin is a life saver! I called in the evening and told them I was having electrical issues. Yarin was quick to ask about the problem and came out right away to take a look. My lights were back on before night time. Yarin will definitely have me calling American Electric Service for any issues I have.
Called Powell electric first per a recommendation wanted $99 to come out was very rude so I told them I am going with somebody else and found these guys on yelp with amazing reviews so I thought I'd give them a try. Only $25 estimate fee. Wow. They were able to complete my job in a timely manner - 2-3 days even though all the other quotes had a 2 to 3 week lead time. They were punctual, very personable and knowledgeable. Tarin and Alan are the best. Will call them again with future projects.

Where to begin? Picture Sunday watching football games on the big screen tv when bamn, tv, lights, surround sound goes bye bye. Panic sets in, disbelief sets in, what am I going to do? It's Sunday, will I be able to find someone to save the day? YES!!! Raise the curtains, enter on the stage left our heroes, Yarin and Alan (aka Batman and Robin) to save the day. Man I am sooooo thankful for American Electric Service. I found them on Yelp with great reviews and a great overall rating. Well now I know why. I started a chat with them on Yelp Sunday morning and by the afternoon they were there. Yarin and Alan were extremely professional and knew what they were doing. Yarin explained every step throughout the repairs. I was a little nervous about them being able to find that old circuit breaker, but like heroes do, they find a way to save the day. Sooooo glad!!! I highly, highly recommend them. If I ever need help, I'm turning on the bat signal and calling my guys!
There was a burning odor coming from an electrical outlet in the kitchen. Yarin came the same day, diagnosed and corrected the issue efficiently. Thank you!

Contacted American Electric Service along with a few other companies for my outdoor lighting installation via yelp messaging. Received a quick response within minutes with multiple time slots. Scheduled on spot and they came to my house 2 days later. Compared to other companies, they only charged $25 for an onsite estimate, fully deductible from the service, if I decided to give them the job. Yarin and Chris came on time, both professional, knowledgeable and most of all very friendly. Yarn went out of his way to explain me detail of the job and offered me help on a different lighting fixture free of charge. They went out of their way to clean the wiring mess and make everything up to code. They stayed until we tested multiple light bulbs and they made sure I am fully happy and satisfied.
The service was excellent. Timely and professional. In future, this is the only electrical company I would contact.
Wanted to add a new outlet for an outdoor TV, and also wanted to fix my landscaping lights that hadn't been working for a year. Yarin came out on a Monday to give a quote, came back on a Wednesday with everything needed to complete the job well, including the crazy weird lightbulbs my landscaping lights required. Looks and works fantastic.
Very fast, professional. They solved two issues for me, a troubled set of outlets and a towel warmer. They tackled both with ease and speed. Will use again

MOST FRIENDLY AND HONEST electrician I have ever encountered!! I live in an apartment complex in Canoga Park, and had an electrical outage in most of the apartment unit most of the day. Property manager was not responsive to many calls. I called expecting to have to pay a huge bill out-of-pocket for an emergency service call. Yarin SAVED THE DAY and walked me through a quick fix on a video call. NO CHARGE. I definitely recommend Yarin and his team.

Love these guys! Yarin is the best. He answered all my questions, helped me make informed decisions and was very communicative about the project and timelines.
Projects don't always go exactly as you think, but Yarin was great at explaining the nuances of the house that required him to do things a certain way. It's important to me to understand (as best I can) how the project is going and he was absolutely wonderful with this.
Major plus that he is dog friendly!
We will call them for all our electrical needs.
Yarin was beyond helpful! At 8 pm at night he helped me get my electricity back on and my Wi-Fi working which had gone out due to me plugging in a space heater. I was panicked because I rely on Wi-Fi for work. So grateful!

I'm so glad we finally got around to replacing our broken fan. Our electrician Yarin was so nice! He worked super quickly, explained clearly our options, and now the fan works beautifully. He wore a mask the whole time. He was even nice to our kids who couldn't stop pestering and getting in his way. Thanks American Electric Service!

We needed to replace our old outlets in our living room for some time now. After one blew we called American Electric Service and Yarin showed up promptly at 2:00pm for our 2-4pm window. He was quick to assess, friendly and had everything available on the spot to fix everything. We will definitely be calling him for future electric needs.
Yarin showed up same day (within 3 hours from contacting them via Yelp), diagnosed and repaired the issue with my track lighting, explaining everything along the way. Really amazing service all around. 5/5

Yarin did an a great job fixing one of our breakers. He showed up to our house at 8pm, only an hour after I called to see if anyone could possibly be available after hours. He went the extra mile, leaving our house to get more parts in order to finish the job that night, regardless of the time. He even took the extra time explaining to my husband what had happened and why it happened. Overall great experience and a super nice guy. Definitely would recommend!
I requested a quote trough Yelp and their response was instant, they managed to come the same date and did a simple job that I needed. Yarin was te technician and he was amazing, really friendly and professional, we loved him!

Very happy with this service. We got three out security lights installed as well as a new ceiling fan. Prompt. Reasonably priced. Followed all COVID protocols. Ask for Yarin.
My sister and I plugged too many things into the house and tripped the breaker but couldn't find the second box (which was outside) to reset it. Yarin FaceTimed us and helped us find it and looked at all the outlets prior! (All at almost 8pm at night). So grateful. Now we can get back to watching the Mandalorian! He even gave us an appliance referral for a separate issues she has at her house. Hire him!

Ask for Yarin he was very friendly and helpful . It was easy getting a price and super fast as well.He explained everything before doing the work.Thank you Yarin.
Yarin was very thorough and helped us understand what our electrical problems were. The price was very reasonable for the services provided. They were able to send a technician out very quickly to fix the problem with our circuit. Many thanks!!
Two of my outlets weren't working for a week. I asked for a quote for the repair and American Electric Service replied right away. Yarin the electrician was super nice and professional. He wore a mask the whole time and gave me options on the repair. He explained to me the problem and fixed it right away. Im in the process of moving into a new house and I would definitely use their services again. I would recommend American Electric Service to anyone who needs an electric job to be done. Thanks again Yarin for fixing my outlets. You did a great job.

I caused an electrical issue while trying to change out my outlets and light switches. I called American Electric Service on a Sunday late afternoon. Yarin and his team came that night to try to diagnose the issue. They weren't able to fix it that night, however was able to provide temporary partial power. They were quick to set up an appointment to come and look at the issue with more detail. They replaced my electrical panel (needed the upgrade) and changed the main breaker. Yarin explained everything in detail. He made sure I understood what needed to be done. I wasn't happy with the initial install of the panel box since it wasn't set flush with the wall. He sent a crew back no questions asked and fixed it. George did an excellent job and reset the panel so it was flush with the wall. I am beyond happy with the work they did. I would highly recommend them! Yarin and his team will be my first contact for any future electrics needs.

We needed our electrical panel to be updated. When American Electric Service arrived for the work, we were told that the wiring in our house is old and needs to be replaced completely. Yarin quoted us for $16,000 with a handwritten quote, that he wrote out then and there. We told him that it's too expensive and we don't want to do it. And that if anything, we need him to send over an estimate with every item listed, instead of a handwritten quote.
The whole day, all Yarin did was trying to sell us on the rewiring. He said that he has an opening in the upcoming week that he still has to fill and kept showing us photos from other work he had done. He eventually lowered the price for us to $12,000 - within a couple of hours of us telling him No. While Yarin was giving us sales pitch after sales pitch, his co-worker worked on the electrical panel by himself.
At the end of the day, the panel work was not completed. The job was supposed to be done in one day, but now they told us that they had to come back (maybe less sales pitches would help). Before he left for the day, Yarin pressed me to give him an answer about the rewiring (which we had already said No to numerous times). My husband had left and Yarin pressured me to call him and discuss it again. I told him I won't do it, but he kept saying that he has to fill the hole in his work week.
When American Electric Service came back to continue the work on the electrical panel, it took them another full day to finish the job. At one point, one of the workers walked around our backyard looking for something. When asked what he is looking for, he wanted to use our paint brushes and paint tray. We told him that he can't use it. Apparently, they didn't bring their own supplies to fix the roof where the had put the new electrical pole. So he wanted to use our PAINT brush to apply TAR to the roof. The ended up applying it with a wood stick.
I was not happy with the way the wiring looked on top of our roof, because the old pole was still there, right next to the new one. When discussing that it doesn't look nice to me, one of the workers called me Sweetheart and did not take me serious. I told him off and he apologized.

Yarin with American Electric was timely, professional, courteous and efficient. He listened to our needs, made suggestions, answered any questions we had and was just wonderful! We would definitely recommend this business for any electrical work needed. We will be back as we just wanted to correct a lighting issue at hand. We will need a panel upgrade in the future and we know just where we will go-no further than here! Thanks for the pleasant experience!
Yarin and his crew did an excellent rewiring my garage. I was very satisified with their professionalism, eye for detail, and even recommendations on other subcontractors for drywall / paint so that I could have a flawless finished product. I could not be happier with how the project turned out.

Yarin and Alan came to my house to install cameras and doorbell video camera. They came quickly and efficiently. Yarin knew immediately what we wanted to do and found the solution why our current doorbell chime did not work. He explained everything very professionally and made us understand what the issue was and communicated the price with us. He worked with us on the price and helped us figure out a solution that fit our budget. I highly recommend Yarin for all electric needs and will definitely be calling him back if we need more work done.

Thanks to Yarin and all at American Electric. Really appreciated the quick response and efficient service.
Yarin came and helped find and fix some electrical issues we were having with the GFCI and down line outlets. He was extremely thorough and wanted to make sure the job was done correctly without cutting any corners. I was extremely happy with the work he did and feel confident that the electrical issue is fixed. I highly recommend.

They were very responsive to the request for moving a wall outlet and installing ceiling lights. Yarin and a helper arrived on time and told us what was needed, then gave a price quote. We had a long discussion about what kind of ceiling light we could use and he explained some problems with what we proposed. We talked it through and he suggested another option that was in our budget. We were very happy! Both jobs were done professionally at a reasonable cost.

I needed an electrician to come and look at an issue we were having with a new over the shower light and bathroom fan that were no longer working from the same switch. George came out to our place in Valencia right on time, was very professional and was able to get me a fair price to look at the issue and figure out if it was something with the wiring or maybe the light needed replacing. After going up to the attic to look at the wiring, he was able to find that it was only a loose wire and fixed the issue. The bathroom light and fan are working once again. Thank you so much!
Both Yarin and Artor were very professional, followed the COVID regulations and overall did an amazing job. They came in, started the job and found the issue right away. Job was very clean and fixed all of the outlets/lights. I strongly recommend these guys. They don't disappoint!
Yari. Was very helpful in a stressful situation. He knows what he's doing, and if he doesn't, he will figure it out. Thanks Yarin!!! I will definitely recommend you.
Yarin and his teammate came today and were both extremely professional and genuinely nice people. He diagnosed our issue within a few minutes of just looking at it and recommended a solution that would not just fix it in the short term, but also be something we could rely on for the long haul. He also took his time to discuss all the options and never made us feel like just another customer. I hope to continue to work with him and AES for all our electrical needs...and boy do we have a lot! While our issue was a tiny one to begin with, Yarin deserves 10 stars for his personality, professionalism and perseverance!
The arrived on time. Installation of our cieling light was quick and clean. Great, quality work.

Yarin came out, he provided excellent service, he did some outdoor outlet work, he wore a mask the whole time, I felt comfortable. Received good work from American Electric Service.
Very pleased with their service. Rodney was professional and did a great job installing junction boxes. They even did this on a Sunday and the price was right. Yarin told me to make sure I'm 100% satisfied before they leave the job. Will definitely use them again.
If I could give them less than one star I would. It is unbelievable what these guys put me through. I called them on a Saturday to see if they could come out to install some recessed lights in a beadboard ceiling I have. The guy who schedules says sure, we can get you booked in for tomorrow (Sunday). The window is 11am to 2pm. At 2:15pm, no call and no show. I call to ask where they are and this guy says Oh, they aren't there? They should be there any minute. They were just on their way to you. So, while I was annoyed that they never called to say they would be coming beyond the 3 hour window they gave - I assumed they were very busy and would be by shortly. An hour later - no show, no call. I call back and ask what's going on and am eventually told that the job took longer than expected and they won't be able to come out that day. So ... the job took longer than expected or were they on their way an hour ago? That's the first sign this company is unprofessional and disorganized, and I should have moved on there, but given all the amazing reviews I decide to press forward and book them to come out a week later.
First they say they'll be there on Monday (Labor Day) at which point I tell them that's a holiday - are you sure? Then they say they'll be there at 8am on Tuesday. Great. I'm all booked. Four hours later I get a call from the scheduler ... I just wanted to give you a call and book a time to come out. Huh??? I'm already booked for Tuesday at 8am. The guy says ... Oh, really? Sorry, but it's Rosh Hashanah and we don't work that day so we'll have to come out on Thursday.
So ... they don't work on Labor Day, Rosh Hashanah or the day after Rosh Hashanah. Okay, so I guess Thursday it is and they say they will be there first thing at 8am. Well guess what ... 8:15am, no show, no call. I call this guy again and say - What's going on? Are you on your way or what? It's 8:15 am and you were supposed to be here at 8am. He's totally confused. Obviously he completely forgot that I was booked and was scrambling to make excuses. He needs to check his schedule and call me back. I get a call back and I'm told that they had an appointment before me (before 8am?) and it's running a bit over but they'll be there shortly. Three hours go by, no show, no call. I call them ... what is going on ... are you guys coming or what? Oh yes, I just spoke to them and they were on their way to you ... they left half an hour ago and should be there like ... right now ... any minute. Another hour passes. No show. No call. I call them ... AGAIN. Really?? An hour has passed but they were on their way?? I say. Finally this guy has Yarin call me from the field and he tells me that they can't come tonight and they want to reschedule, etc. Mind you, this is now about 5pm - NINE HOURS after they were supposed to show up at my house. I insist that he come to my house to quote the project that night given that he made me wait ALL DAY long on two separate days at this point.
Yarin comes to the house and proceeds to tell me how I need to install the smart switch of his choosing (not the job I asked him out for) and how I need to install the recessed lights HE wants me to use instead of the ones I have literally everywhere else in my house and have already purchased. Literally everything this guy looks at he just tells you what he's going to do instead of asking what you want to do. Then he quotes, on the spot, some shady-ass overpriced amount for installing recessed lights - something like 150/light - which, btw, I already had electricity running to every light and I was providing the trim, so it was just providing and popping in cans. The whole experience was just absurd and these guys caused me to lose 2 weeks of time on this project just because they could simply give me a quote and couldn't keep an appointment. Disorganized doesn't even begin to explain it. They have no regard for people's time and they are a complete rip-off.
Save yourself a huge headache.
I contacted Yarin regarding an issue with my landscaping lights and for installing a heating implement for my patio heater. He responded very quickly! Rodney and Alan came out to do the work. I was very pleased with their professionalism. Sadly, I still had an issue with my landscape lights and called back. Again, Yarin responded super fast. Athor came out and found the issue. Now my landscape lights are working perfectly! If you are in need of an electrician, I highly recommend using American Electric Service. The prices are also very reasonable and straight forward! I will definitely be calling them for any future work that I need!
The service technician that they said named Yarin Turgeman Took the extra time to troubleshoot and really figure out the cause of the problem which is very obscure in a very old mobile home electrical system is split into two different circuit breakers and then you did above and beyond for a very fair price late in the evening on an emergent basis U could not have been happier!
I had an electrical issue tonight - the power in two of the rooms in our home went out. Turns out one of the circuit breakers had tripped, but it wouldn't switch back on. I contacted several electricians through Yelp. Even though it was already after 8:00pm, a couple got back to me immediately. Roi at American Electric Service was one of those. He informed me that he could get someone out early the next day - and his rate to come out was a ridiculously low $25.00!!! As it turns out, someone else suggested I try unplugging everything connected to the circuit and trying the breaker again - and it worked - my power came back on! Even though I didn't end up using American Electric, I was super impressed by their fast response and their super low rates (one electrician that got back to me wanted to charge me $150 and I almost set the appointment with him!), and I will definitely call on American Electric Service for all my future electrician needs!
Excellent experience with American Electric. They scheduled a next day visit. Yarin their senior electrician arrived on time, and after a walk thru and agreed work plan, got to work and fixed multiple issues. Cleaned up before they left. Good company and very reasonable pricing. Will definitely use them again.

Yarin is the man. He is a master light technician, very knowledgeable and polite dude. Fixed all problems within an hour. went above and beyond but company pricing is quite high.
Great service as they found and repaired my issue very fast while another electrician robbed me of more than 300 dollars for troubleshooting without fixing the issue! They are very responsive on Yelp and followed up by phone. I'm only giving 4 stars as I had to insist at first not to pay again a large sum just for troubleshooting but they agreed and it all turned out well.
This company responded promptly and replaced a bad breaker in an old panel. It was not cheap, but they got it done same-day and I was grateful. $1,000 plus credit card fee poorer, but still grateful. Meanwhile, I asked for a quote to replace four existing panels. The price over the phone was exorbitant, the first quote that came on paper was a few thousand cheaper, and when I explained I still couldn't see how the cost was justified based on what I know of materials and labor costs, the quote came down again. They were very responsive. However, there was a lot schmoozy bullshitting and negotiating, which I really don't like. I got several additional quotes that were significantly cheaper than their quote. Yarin was friendly, but I feel like we both knew he was taking me for a ride. It was embarrassing. I prefer honest, straight-shooting, reasonable contractors who give a fair bid and stick to it. I am not trying to squeeze every last penny out of anyone. I want everyone to make a decent living. I also do not have the extra cashflow to be taken advantage of or interest in haggling.
Professional, communicative and respectful. George did a great job of both identifying and fixing the problems we had, and he was very clear in explaining everything to me. They were also great about getting the work scheduled in the office. I highly recommend them and will be using them next time I have electrical needs!
Super great really satisfied, they came at night and helped us
Yarin & Chris were professional & friendly. I had multiple outlets in the house that weren't working. They quickly diagnosed the issues, explained them to me in layman terms and got me a quote. They completed all the work in short order. I highly recommend them. I'll definitely be reaching out to them again for a bigger project involving recessed lighting for my living and dining room!
American Electric Service, inc. Yarin and his team are very professional, knowledgeable, respectful and hard working. They ensured that every switch was properly connected to prevent hazards, that every light fixture was properly working and aligned. In addition, they cleaned up after themselves, they work fast, they respected my space and my wishes and went above and beyond to make sure that the best quality products and technical skills were used for my new home to be better than it can possibly be. I highly recommend American Electric Service. I don't trust anyone else from now on. You will be so happy going with AES, Yarin and his team. They have my business for life, and you'll feel the same way. Guaranteed!
Really great service. I called them out to request a quote for installing the ring floodlight, as well as a light pendant and hooking that up to an existing light switch that controlled something else, and they were fair with their price after an on site visit. The best part is that they had all the tools ready to go, and started the job immediately that day after giving them the greenlight. Will use again!
Very prompt. Pleasant. Did the job perfectly and quickly . I really appreciate the service. I will definitely use again

We called the company to fix a few issues. We were able to make an appointment within 24 hours. The customer service service was great. The issues were fixed very quickly and efficiently. The electrician named Yaris was very professional and easy to communicate with. He was wearing mask and gloves and followed all the COVID rules. I highly recommend the company and their service.
Yarin answered my search quickly. He asked questions and knew what I needed and made an appointment the same day! He was fast, efficient and friendly! First rate!!!

We had a great experience. Showed up on time, completed the work easily and quickly and was very friendly. Plus, Andrea in the main office is a great communicator, very kind and helpful. I highly recommend this company to anybody looking for electrical work.
Yarin solved a problem I had been having for months that has caused me a lot of stress immediately in one day. He came on the same day after I really felt desperate. While he was here he also helped me with a favor that required a ladder because I don't have one. He was awesome.

I had an urgent issue in the evening where a circuit breaker wasn't working and half my power to the house. No one was available except these guys. Yarin was dispatched and came within 1.5 hours of a call and was able to get the problem diagnosed and fixed. He was nice and very effective. Yes you will pay more because it's after hours emergency service. But that's to be expected. I would trust them with how they do business if Yarin is involved as well.

Yarin provided exceptional service after I managed to burn out an old and poorly installed outlet while painting our family room. I knew there were similar issues in this room that had been an addition by a previous owner. Yarin was able to get to the bottom of the problem quickly and I asked him to check the other outlets and switches in the room. Everything was explained with each step (I even learned a few things along the way). All services, options and costs were discussed in detail. Yarin's professionalism and attention to detail were on display as I decided to clean up all of the outlets and switches in the room. Everything was done quickly and looks great. All of this was done on a Sunday. I highly recommend American Electric Service and Yarin. I will be using them for all future electrical work in my home.

Yarin knew exactly what I wanted in my garage and it was a mess. My father was the owner of this house and he kind of Mickey Mouse everything so there was a Lotta exposed wire and I couldn't figure out what went to what didn't have any lighting out there in the garage. Yarin made it where you just press one button and four big lights come on in my garage you can see everything. I am very very happy with the work done and will use them for future use if I need anything electrical done again. My only complaint is that it was a tad pricey for me as I live alone so yeah it was a little pricey but the work was excellent. Always kept in touch, always let me know what was going on but he took care of a major headache I had going on in my garage I will definitely use Yarin again in the future. He's in my cell phone and on my landline. Thank you Yarin , beautiful job!

On my first review, I spelled Yarin as Yari. Sorry for that. His name is Yarin and he did a fantastic job in my garage. Thanks again!
Yarin is amazing, he came out to my house on a emergency call and fast. Yarin himself seems like a really nice down to earth guy and his service is top tier. I found my new electrician.

The technician was very helpful with my electrical problem and is trustworthy with my house .
We had a circuit go out for the second time in about a year's time. American Electric Service was very responsive, scheduling was easy, and communication throughout the service was open. On the day of the service, Yarin arrived during the scheduled time, reviewed the cost of service prior to beginning and then went to work. Yarin, who said he enjoys the challenge of troubleshooting problems, determined that only half the circuit was working, throughly examined every outlet in the circuit, and then resolved the issue. In the end my circuit was repaired, my confidence in Yarin and American Electric Service was established, and I knew who my electrician will be going forward: Yarin at American Electric Service!
Yarin and Chris showed up on time, performed an excellent job and are very professional. I would recommend this company for any electrical needs.

Yarin came out on a Sunday evening in less than 30 minutes after I had called. I took off an old floodlight to put in a Ring floodlight and of course I uncovered surprises I couldn't deal with on my own. Yarin took care of the surprise and got my floodlight installed quickly!
I want to thank American Electrical Services for urgently installing the new wires inside my home, which have now evenly distributed the light to all bedrooms/areas of my house. Also, they made sure all the outlets were functional. This is a quality electrical service.
Yarin was amazing! He showed up to provide an estimate and ended up completing the job within hours during the same visit. He was incredible! I honestly can't recommend him enough. As a new homeowner who doesn't really know what they're doing I'm super glad I hired Yarin to help me out.
Yarin is the best! He is super helpful and goes the extra mile to ensure that everything is taken care of. He drove all the way from Reseda back to La Verne on a Tuesday night just to resolve an issue with the panel box. He is very considerate when it comes to pricing and is very kind and understanding. I would recommend his service wholeheartedly!
Really straight forward and kept me up to date thru the whole process. Definitely will be my go to if anything else should arise. 100 % recommend American Electric Service.
Yarin is the best! He is very good at what he does! He pinpoints and resolves any issues you have so fast! You should employ more people like him, great asset to your company!

Loved that they showed up with masks and didn't object to my taking their temporal temperature before entering the house. Arvin gave me a good price for fixing the initial electrical light switch problem, and I even added recessed lights in the living room at a reasonable price. I'm definitely pleased with the finished product. I recommend this company if you want prompt service at a reasonable price.

Yarin T. came the same day that I called with an issue. I had 3 light switches that weren't working. He was extremely professional and very kind. He showed me the issues with the switches and explained what was going on. He worked hard to get the job done and made sure everything was in working order before he left. I would highly recommend American Electric Service and I highly recommend Yarin.

We needed an outdoor light fixture put up and add a switch. It had been weirdly connected what was there and it was time to call in a professional. We also wanted to add and outdoor plug for Christmas lights. The electrician came on a Sunday(!). The electrician was super clean and organized. He had all his tools and material on a plastic protection and took great care during the work to keep the work areas clean and tidy. Needless to say he wore a mask. The job sounded easy enough but because what had been done previously was a bit of an odd botch job the light fixture turns into a bit more work than initially planned. The outdoor pope holding electric cable looked too short with the new fixture set up, the light fixture was positioned off center (we knew but with the new fixture it became very visible) Yurin, the electrician sorted it and kept going until we we were happy with the small details. He installed a switch for the fixture that we could use from the inside and had the additional idea to add a wireless switch at the other end of a hallway where the logical place to have a switch is, but there's none. He also added an innovative cover to an outdoor switch that needed replacement. Looks great!
This was the third electrical service company I called to try to fix a problem I have had for two weeks. I was having trouble with other companies even returning my call! Giselle from American Electric Service called me right away when I reached out through Yelp. She was super friendly and she was able to send a crew of three people out same day to diagnose the problem and get me a temporary fix while we scheduled the full repair. Whole thing was done within two days after my initial call to them. Yarin and George took care of a circuit overload issue I was having in one of the rooms in my house. They added a two additional circuits to my panel to solve the problem. Excellent communication, dressed professionally, and solved a problem another electrician had started to look into, but walked away from since they didn't have time for me. I highly recommend American Electric Service!
Thank you Yarin and American Electric for replacing a breaker and some outlets. He figured out the problem and repaired it quickly. Would recommend Yarin and American Electric. Thank you.

Yarin saved my life!!! So professional, at 12 at night all the electricity went out in my five bedroom house and I immediately called him and within 45 minutes he was there. Couldn't be happier with his level of service and professionalism. If you ever need an honest electrician that's also reliable- call yarin.
I live in a rented apartment in Laverne. Yarin Turgeman and Athro came to service a fuse for my hot water heater. I have been without hot water for several weeks. This is a nice apartment with a very old electrical system. American Electrical System was unable to fix the hot water issue. He told the Landlord that a plumber would need to check it because the trouble was not from a bad fuse. In the meantime the electricians learned that the entire fuse box panel was very old and outdated. After I have struggled for years with tripped fuses, Yarin was able to convince the Landlord that replacing the antiquated box would be the most economical and safest option for this address. It certainly was a win-win for me and the Landlord. I have a safe apartment that the electrical was professionally updated properly by American Electric Service from Rededa CA. Thank you Yarin and Athro. I am so grateful that it was your company that was called for service.
