We have used Ballard electric twice now and both times have been extremely happy with the results. I would recommend them to any and everyone. Recently, they were very accommodating with my schedule to get me an estimate. The work was completed quickly and clean.

I had 2 chandeliers, 1 ceiling fan, and 4 recessed lights put in. Their price was good. Victor showed when he said he would. They didn't leave a mess. I need them to come out again to run electrical to my spa, outbuilding, and pergola. I'm looking forward to getting that bid so I can move forward on my yard makeover.

I needed more electrical work done and based on prior experience I contacted Ballard Electric. I had them replace all the awful beeping, demon smoke alarms in my new home with state of the art smoke sniffing, Carbon Monoxide sensing, network connected alarms. I also had them install a couple Google cameras with floodlights and three more ceiling fans.
They one again provided excellent service, showed up exactly on schedule and knew exactly what to do. This company is literally the best electrical company I have ever dealt with.

We've had some issues with our garage outlets/light switches and have been putting it off for some time. I gave Ballard Electric a call and they answered, were friendly and asked questions to try to figure out what was going on. We were able to schedule a service call within a day. They were prompt and arrived within their scheduled time block, they got to work and fixed the problem. My husband and I are super satisfied and will be giving them a call if we have any other electrical issues.

Ballard is our go-to for all of our electrical needs. Had a faulty breaker that would trip every time it rained, so we took the breaker off main panel , raised the conduit added a new sub panel . Eloy & Frank started the troubleshooting and today Augustine & Frank returned to complete the job. We always have a great experience from the office to all the field employees , we sincerely thank you for your great customer care . Best Electrician in this area! Reliable , easy to work with, respectable electricians always on time and do the job right . We Love Ballard!!!

Hadn't worked with them before, but friend recommended them. I needed a higher amperage 220 V for double oven. Was a bit complex, as oven is not on any exterior walls. To quote, they were really responsive, and we sent text pictures back and forth. The owner (Don), came to my house twice. Once to walk the job, and a second time when they came to install. I literally had two technicians at house for 7 hours, and invoice was exactly to quote. I think the original quote may have been low, but they kept to it.
Also, if you didn't know, electricians don't do drywall. But they kept the sections they cut, and put back in place with a wood backer, will be really easy to patch. I honestly thought they would just leave holes.
Technicians were really nice and respectful, cleaned up at end of day. I'll definitely go back to them in future, and recommend to my neighbors.

The people at Ballard Electric are TRULY customer service oriented! These increasingly complicated days are frustrating enough in terms of reliable household services so when electrical issues arise such as after storms, recent heavy rains, brownouts or new EV purchases dependability is everything! In our case, we bought a new EV and needed a plug for home charging and within a short time it was established. Going electric is really a steep learning curve and so after the plug was put in we weren't sure which level 2 home charger to select. Victor helped select an excellent one from an Amazon lengthy list AND offered to have it installed once it arrived which they just did! Kudos!

Ballard Electric is the best!
Special shout out to Frank at Ballard for his awesome customer service, communication and persistence in resolving a challenging issue.

It's hard to get good electrician to call you back in a timely manner, but Ballard/Frank did so within hours, which was greatly appreciated!

Highly recommend Ballard for your electrical needs.

We have tried a few electricians in our area over the last couple years for various things and have not been that impressed. But recently we used Ballard electricians and they did a superb job by replacing all of our old canned lighting that was disintegrating because it was years old and quickly installed beautiful new canned lighting. They were efficient, clean and timely very impressed and me highly recommend them.

6/29/2022

Edit: I was still having the flickering issue. I called Frank and he sent a pair of electricians out that afternoon to fix. It's working now. Excellent communication. I'd definitely hire them again.

Awesome Service! Emailed for a quote on Saturday. Frank responded right away with a quote. Had a team show up the following Tuesday. I had them replace outdoor lights fixtures. One was flickering and they came back the next day and of course it wasn't doing it. We made a plan to take a video if it happens again so they could figure out what to do. So professional, communicative, punctual. I'll definitely use this company again for future electrical jobs. I also think the pricing was fair. I'm really glad I found this company, they made everything very easy. Thank you!

Ballard installed new outlets & a ceiling fan . Eloy & Frank did an awesome job. Showed up on time, cleaned up after they were done and made sure I was happy with the work. Fairly priced & always quick to respond. Would definitely work with Ballard again.

Customer service and quality work at a very reasonable price are what these guys are all about. After a miscommunication resulted in a minor discrepancy, Frank immediately sent his guys back to make the modification in order to remedy the situation and ensure I was completely satisfied. Thank you Frank.

Super service. Polite professional and reliable. 10000 % recommend. They installed a few light fixtures and repaired the outlet to the pond pump. Payment was easy too.

Allan S.

04/04/2022 12:00:00 SA

They were great. Frank got back to me immediately after I requested a bid. Asked for pictures of the area that I wanted the work done and let me know the price, all within a few minutes.

The day of the appointment they called in advance to remind me, and asked me if it was okay if it was okay if they showed up early.

What?? This might be the first time that anyone had asked me that.

Typically, workmen will show up two minutes before the window of the appointment ends. The request for early was great.

Also, they were well priced. Another bonus.

I will definitely use Ballard again.

Thanks to Frank and his team.

I have used Ballard a few times and I am thoroughly pleased with their work! They consistently provide timely, excellent and professional work every single time. They installed my exterior lights, as well as upgraded all my home switches to smart onew. They work fast and the prices are reasonable. I will use them for all my electrical needs. HIGHLY recommend them!

Had Ballard electric come out because outlets in kitchen not working. No fridge/microwave/oven. Two techs came out. Very personable. Said the Gavin outlet was tripped and seem like that was it and said bill was $145
Had to tell them to maybe check outlet at microwave because it acted unusual just before. Found loose connections so relaxed outlet and left without checking to make sure everything was right. Plugged in fridge and pop circuits. Called Frank and told me. Said I probably had a problem with my fridge. Before I went out and buy a new fridge had them come out and recheck. Bad outlet at fridge. Will not have them check any other problems.

Want to repost that the Ballard team address my comments and went the extra mile. Would highly recommend for their outstanding customer satisfaction.
Nice to see a company that is first rate

We just had our house repainted and wanted to replace all of the outdoor wall sconces and sidewalk post lights since they were the originals from 17 years ago. I probably could've done the job myself, but it would've taken a full weekend and wouldn't have been professional quality fit and finish. The guys from Ballard came out in about a week and had the job finished and cleaned in an hour and a half. Even the the original quote was more than reasonable, Frank still converted to T&M for an even better value. We already have another project on the calendar and a couple more in queue. These guys were great.

Paul K.

09/02/2021 12:00:00 SA

Let me save you some time: don't even bother multi-bidding your next job. Just go with Ballard Electric. They're awesome!

We had a lot of work done in our new house: new electric panel, added recessed lighting, added multiple ceiling fans, installed outdoor outlets, replaced loose outlets, troubleshot non-working lights and circuits, replacing ceiling lights, adding/replacing bathroom vanity lights, and adding an EV charger.

We did bid multiple people and Ballard's prices were very reasonable, but we went with them due to the service. We traded many emails, got on the phone, and texted back and forth about estimates, details of the project, and answered a bunch of random questions. They likely spent several hours on items related to our job even before we committed to spending a single dollar with them.

For our electrical panel, we needed the city to come perform a meter spot, as well as get someone out to unlock the ring on the existing panel (which as you would expect is one guy that sort of comes when he feels like it). For anyone who has dealt with the city any time recently, you know how difficult it is to get ahold of someone - especially during the pandemic. Ballard gave me a separate direct line to a contact and I had someone out in a week. Ballard followed up with me, emailed directly with the city inspector to discuss a few unique issues to our job, and was in near-constant communication. Again - we hadn't even officially gone with them yet! Obviously, this more than sealed the deal.

The team showed up on time and spread out to cover all the jobs we had to do. It was a multi-day job and we only had to be without power for one day. They checked in with us as they went along to get our sign-off on all sorts of little details: light placement, dimmers, chandelier height, etc before they went and did anything.

We also purchased a few fixtures that didn't quite work for our space, Ballard helped give us some guidance on what we should look for and came back a couple of weeks later to finish the job. The work was completed on time, professionally, and they fully cleaned up at the end.

I can't say enough good things about them. As I said, don't even bother multi-bidding and wasting time with lots of estimate appointments, just go with these guys and save yourself the trouble.

I cannot recommend this company enough!! They responded immediately and were very fair. I needed can lighting in my downstairs family room and a cable line in an upstairs room where there was none. Spectrum was not willing to do this.
Our lighting is amazing, perfectly centered and exactly what we hoped. They left everything completely clean and were so quick. They were so polite and I just cannot sing their praises more! THESE ARE YOUR ELECTRICIANS FOR ANYTHING YOU NEED. Please reach out to them for whatever your needs are. They are kind, reasonably priced and high quality work. You won't need another electrician again!

Jason S.

06/05/2021 12:00:00 SA

Hate to admit it, but I have an immediate adverse reaction to working with electricians, plumbers, painters and all other sorts of home repair that are notorious for high rates, poor response and endless run-around.
To say the least, the folks at Ballard Electric (and Frank, in particular) may have changed me forever. Or set a new standard by which I will measure (and expect) all other companies to meet.

Needed a full panel upgrade and NeMA plug installed for an EV charger.
From the first contact on Yelp, to phone call to service, responsiveness, reliability (even when they had to come back a second time to help me revise something to accommodate my new EV charger) - they were fast to help. I was told they were very busy and the first appointment was the following week - but then I get a call and they managed to come out the next day!
(and I expected to pay more...and there was no additional charge! My mind was officially blown!)

I'm naturally skeptical of a company that only have 4 and 5 star reviews...but this one is truly earned. If you need electrical work, stop here. These are the guys that will take care of you, better than the rest!

I needed help on a small electrical project (installation of a light switch). Ballard Electrical returned my call and gave me an estimate quickly and courteously. The technician's name was Agustine. He was prompt, polite, and competent. I could not have asked for more. I know that Ballard works on some large projects, but I am grateful that they were able to fit my small project in as well. I highly recommend them.

They came on time and quickly diagnose the problems with my overhead fans and fixed it without replacement. I would definitely use them again.

Not much to say here that hasn't already been said. They have gone above and beyond and are well deserving of their 5-star status. They know how to effectively communicate and are super reliable. And they do very clean, quality installs.

Freddy R.

Ballard to the rescue!! Just moved to Newbury Park and needed some repairs done on a broken exterior electrical box and conduit. I ended up choosing Ballard based on the yelp reviews and they clearly have 5 stars for a reason. Frank was very responsive, sent over his electricians for the first service call to assess the situation as promised and was very responsive for when I was ready to have the repair work start. His guys did an amazing job and the customer service from Frank down to each of his electricians was exceptional.

Highly recommend Ballard Electric, seriously don't even bother looking any further.

Joshua C.

01/11/2021 12:00:00 SA

I really like working with these guys. Frank is extremely quick with communication and pricing seems to be very fair every time. I've had them out for a couple small outlet receptacle jobs and very pleased with their work.

Our house was built in 1965, so we have a ton of needed updates, especially replacing our main panel soon. I've had 3 other electricians come by to give their thoughts on the electrical renovations we need done and Ballard Electric team is very patient knowledgeable and willing to work with us when we're ready.

The only feedback I have for them is to give pricing up front before doing the actual work, even for the small jobs. This is largely due to the fact that the workers aren't involved with quoting the job at all. It would be nice if the workers could be more involved with quoting the pricing on the spot rather than me having to work with their sales manager and pay afterwards without knowing what the price will be. Despite that drawback, I still think these guys are amazing and will definitely invite them back to bid on the larger jobs.

Ballard Electric did a phenomenal job!!! We needed multiple sets of recessed lighting installed and controlled by existing switches which was a piece of cake for them to do. They also replaced an existing chandelier which was ~21 feet off the ground, requiring scaffolding and a little finnesse. I gave very minimal instructions, leaving the judgement as far as placement up to them, and these guys nailed it! The job was done in one day and was very reasonably priced.

Our house now looks completely different with the updated lighting and we love it. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone that needs any sort of electrical work. You will be very impressed like we are!

Zachary F.

09/01/2021 12:00:00 SA

Another excellent exceptional experience with Ballard Electric!
Every time, Frank has been responsive, accommodating, reliable and fair! This organization really cares about customer satisfaction, on every level! They are determined to do the best job possible! They never give up, until the issue is totally resolved! They are prompt and demonstrate integrity! They always go the extra mile! Honesty is another one of their important trade marks!
I give Ballard my highest recommendation! I will never use anyone else for my electric needs!
You will be very pleased and happy with their work!
BTW...they wear masks and present with safety in mind!

From making appointment to finishing the job, everything went so smoothly without any trouble at all.

Frank, the owner was very funny, kind and easy to work with. He even updated me the scheduling status by calls and texts. So, I do not have to wonder where my electricians are. Dealing with many different contractors on many different jobs over the years, that was often major issue, including no show.

Two electricians, Pete and Eloy were very professional that they knew exactly what they were doing and answered all my questions. They even suggested few good ideas to make a final product very efficient and perfect. After finishing work, they explained what they did, made sure everything works properly and cleaned the job site.

These days, it is very difficult to find a good professional worker and I am so happy to recommend Ballard Electric for any electrical work.

Thank you Frank, Pete and Eloy!

Mike K.

09/02/2020 12:00:00 SA

I was in a bind trying to hang a dining room chandelier that was not cooperating. Based on the reviews, I called Ballard Electric. It was late afternoon and left a message. Early the next day, Frank from Ballard Electric returned my call and asked how he could help. I explained my situation and Frank said they'd be happy to help. They fit me in that same day, and two of his people arrived and hung the chandelier perfectly.

These guys were terrific, friendly and efficient. I will not hesitate to call Ballard Electric for my electrical needs. I know there are many good electricians out there, but Ballard came through for me in a pinch, and I therefore highly recommend them.

An important aside, Frank called me back, as I had sent him photos of my problem, and actually wanted to ensure I could do no more with the mounting bracket I had, in an effort to try and save me some money. How often does that happen?
Again, great company.

12/07/2021 12:00:00 SA

Had Ballard Electric come out to install a panel upgrade and to move overhead power lines. Couldn't have asked for a more professional group of guys. Great communication from the get-go - dealing with permits and SCE, to final county inspection. Did everything and more than contracted for - showed up on time, work was fast and thorough, job site left neat and tidy. Pricing is reasonable and they definitely bend over backwards to make sure their customers are satisfied. Cannot recommend Ballard Electric enough.

Brian A.

08/05/2021 12:00:00 SA

We have used Ballard Electric over the years and they have done an excellent job in every instance, from ceiling fan installations to wiring issues to extensive extensive exterior electrical work such as landscape lighting and replacing transformers. We would definitely recommend!

Spoke to Frank about one of my outlets not working after the breaker was tripped. He talked me through trouble shooting it and saved me a service call. I will definitely use them in the future.

Frank was extremely helpful over the phone and worked with our unique requests to get the work done on time and on budget. He sent out Victor and Augie. They were prompt, courteous, and did excellent work. I know it's not easy to be in the service business in the current climate and Ballard Electric handled everything with professionalism, kindness, and ease. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

Ballard Electric did an enormous amount of work to update outdated electrical infrastructure in our home. They installed a new electrical panel, GFCI outlets, smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, motion sensor lights, recessed lighting in the converted garage, new ceiling fans in the bathroom, and much more. They have really good attention to detail, are honest, and most importantly were great communicators from start to finish. They will ask you detailed questions as to how you want things set up so expectations are clear from the beginning. Prices are very reasonable and the quality of work done is outstanding. Would highly recommend Ballard Electric for all of your electric needs.

Jennifer A.

Ballard Electric was great to work with!

1. Quick to return my request for a quote.
2. Were able to come in in the time frame I was looking for.
3. Workers were on time, courteous, and clean.
4. Only made one small hole to install my ceiling fan on a vaulted ceiling with no existing box.
5. Stayed within quote!

Mark D.

11/25/2020

I've used Ballard Electric multiple times, and I'm always impressed with how quick I get an appointment. Even more importantly, I've learned to trust Frank. He gives advice to help you save money (like, before we come out, first check ...), and he's always pleasant and accommodating. You can't go wrong with Ballard!

Lauren G.

11/17/2020

I love this company for so many reasons. First of all they always respond to my call or text. They always do a very clean job. I've been had them do multiple jobs and they have never put a hole in a wall or ceiling. They try their hardest not to. Today they let me know there might be a problem and they might have to make a small hole but they did what they could and got it done without a hole. I think their prices are fair and most of all very very responsive and come when they say they are going to come.

Chris F.

Second day and results are the same Flawless... Don and his team knocked it out of the park.

Work done today was to move and replace entryway chandelier which hangs from a 20 foot ceiling. The crew blew through it and patched the old spot in 40 minuets. That's right 40 minuets... The also installed a new lighting fixture in my sons nursery, 6 recessed lights down stairs hall and family room, and finally 5 recessed lights and new ceiling fan which needed to be moved.

All above work was done in 7 hours with little patch work needed. The patch work that was needed was barley noticeable.

A different team was out today and they still kept their standards above and beyond what you would expect from multiple teams showing up on different days. This really speaks highly of Don and the crew.

Service like this you would expect to break the bank but his rates were comparable if not better than small time private licensed contractors.

Yes I will be using them again and yes I'll be referring them out to anyone whose looking for electrical work.

Thanks again you guys rock!

Note: I have an old juke box sitting in my garage that hasn't worked since I moved back to California. As Don is leaving he took a look under the hood and literally said check the record holder plate to see if it's off track. Uh are you kidding me? It started working again.... speechless !

See the pics of the work!

Great same day friendly service at reasonable prices. Called for 10 socket changes (colour upgrade) in addition to a dozen light switch change outs. Their crew were there within the hour and finished promptly. Also upgraded an older style thermostat to a smart Nest option. Very pleased with speed, professionalism and cost. Thank you!

Outstanding job on an electrical panel upgrade! Can't thank them enough. Frank is very responsive to all and any questions and responds incredibly fast! Victor and Auggie did the install and the results were much better than expected. They also installed extra outlets in the garage. All work was done very professionally. Very neat and tidy! Don, the owner also was on the job and was a pleasure to talk with. In my opinion, a great company! Found them on Yelp just by reading reviews. Didn't know what to expect, but from the first contact, its been a great experience. FYI, the lathe and stucco repair was handled by a contractor that Ballard recommended as they do not do plastering. All fully explained before the job was started. Again, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Stan D.

6/26/2020

Needed some electrical work done and WOW, Frank and his team at Ballard Electric really came through. Experts arrived on time. Work was done quickly and efficiently, including organizing of City Permits, etc. I will definitely give them a call the next time we need highly qualified (and nice!) electricians!

Tony O.

11/14/2020

I had heard good things about Ballard Electric so I elected to call them when I was having issues with a GFCI circuit. They made the effort to come out the same day which I greatly appreciated. Two crew members showed up and fixed the problem taking the time to explain to me what was wrong with my circuit (which I had wired wrong!).

I wouldn't hesitate to contact them again when I need electrical work. The front office did a great job of giving me same day service and the crew was friendly and helpful. It's refreshing to know there are companies out there providing outstanding service and first rate customer service.

Jennifer C.

12/01/2021 12:00:00 SA

I've used Ballard for a few years and to support needs in my past 2 homes and they have always been reliable, friendly and professional.

After Thousands spent. Numerous referrals and even after my previous 5 star review and with even more $$$ to spend we just got disgustingly overcharged to have a tv put up on the wall. $438 to be exact. To HANG A TV. Two guys came for one hour.
Every time we walked by the room they were pretending to use a level and basically doing nothing. We didn't need 2 guys at $75/hr PER guy to put it up. Come onnnnnnnnn. One guy. One hour. Plus materials. But nope. No loyalty. No customer appreciation. Just inflated cost right before Christmas. Happy holidays! And no I don't want to read frank or anyone else's response saying it's the same cost as before. We spent thousands and were about to spend even more lighting our entire exterior. And if I did ignorantly spend that amount the first time around when we spent thousands I was an utter moron. Never again.

Everyone I dealt with at Ballard Electric was great! They got us on the schedule right away, were prompt, professional and worked safely. Their pricing was fair and I really appreciate the great service and excellent work.

So we are selling our home and moron home inspector with Amerispec shorts out something and have a blown breaker on New Years Eve Day and everyone is unavailable until the Monday after New Year's - except for Ballard Electric, who was booked but squeezed me in because they had workers nearby who finished a job a bit early. Frank was prompt with a return call and very efficient in assessing the problem and advising as to estimated costs and repair issues. The electricians showed at the time expected and, after an exhaustive search, found what was causing the short and fixed it in addition to a few of the wiring issues along the way. Both of the electricians on site were courteous, knowledgeable and professional. Obviously we are moving (but only an hour south) so Ballard Electric will be our go to from now on.

Frank is the best! Rates are very reasonable and the work done is excellent - they also clean up afterwards! I never feel like I'm overcharged or taken advantage of. I will use Ballard for all my electrical needs. You should try them - you will not be disappointed!

I found my new electricians!!!! I had part of my house go out yesterday and of course during this nasty heat wave! I was so worried it would take days to get my house working again. But I got referred to Ballard Electric and when I called I received the best customer service! Not only were they able to come help me right away, they were extremely kind and found the problem pretty quick! They even took the time to show me what the problem was so if it happened again I could take care of it! Who does that now a days??? Very reliable and reasonable prices! I will definitely be calling them for all my electrical needs! And you should too!

I needed to get an EV Home charging station set up in my garage so I decided to call Ballard electric based on the great reviews. Talked to Frank Ballard and he was quick to respond and pretty informative, he also gave me a very fair pricing. Had no problem with scheduling that same week, and they showed up on time. They set up a NEMA 14-50 plug required for the charger and the charger itself. So far it works great! Overall I had a pretty good experience and will definitely call them back for our future projects.

Frank and his team were well priced, responsive, and accommodating. They set up 220v in my garage for an electric car charging station. Looks great and was very affordable. I'd recommend Ballard to my friends and family.

What really differentiates the best businesses from the others is how they deal with problems when they occur on a job because, no matter how skilled you are, things don't always work out right.

I recently had Ballard do a repair at my home. The first two fellows they sent did not complete the job properly. Without any hesitation or complaint they sent another couple of electricians and purchased new parts to
correct the issues at no additional charge.

I am very pleased with the final result and will use Ballard Electric again.

True pleasure to work with. Communication and scheduling are always tough with hired help, but these guys are great at it. And most importantly, the work is completed with quality and prices are reasonable. Would hire again for any electrical work.

Great group of guys! Showed up on time, if not a couple minutes early which I was thrilled about. They had no trouble hanging a couple TVs even though it was through wood paneling with stone on the other side of the wall. Tvs look great and they took care of several plugs that were faulty including replacement of some with additional USB ports. I don't write reviews much, but I was very pleased with their work and response times. Pricing was on point and very reasonable.

He was early, was able to troubleshoot quickly and repair the outlet with no issues. Fast and painless!

I recently moved into a new house hat needed a pretty good amount of electric work. I reached out to Ballard through Yelp and received an immediate response. The owner came over the next day to inspect the different jobs and provided me a fast and reasonable quote. I was waiting for fixtures I ordered to arrive so we split the work up over two days separated by a few weeks. Both crews were incredibly kind, efficient and clean. We have a young son who naps in the middle of the day and they worked quickly to get his room completed first. They were quiet after he went down for his nap and they were great with our pets too. I will 100% hire Ballard again for any electrical needs. Thank you for the beautiful work you did updating my house.

There was no power going to my Garage door yet all the outlets in garage were still working. After checking the breakers I called Ballard and Frank suggested I check the one GFI switch in the garage.

Sure enough that was the issue. Thanks for saving me the service call fee and for great customer service.

Hired this company to install Tesla wall charger. Frank asked for pics of my panel, sent out his crew and got the job done quickly. Crew was very professional. Work looks great.

Richard E.

The crew of 2 showed up on time and fixed our problem within 30 minutes. Our dishwasher suddenly stopped lighting up & wasn't working when we opened the door. We could not get electricity to the unit, and our warranty had expired. They found the problem in 10 minutes, fixed it, replaced the breaker switch and we were good to go. We've always had prompt service from Don & his crew. They're always friendly, courteous, efficient and willing to explain what needs to be done, so that a layman can understand it. I recommend them wholeheartedly!

Setup an appointment to install a 240v outlet in the garage. Called before they arrived. They came out on time. Communication was great. Price was reasonable. They even mounted my Level 2 charger to the wall. Cleaned up everything. Will use again for any electrical needs.

Ballard Electric is absolutely the best company with true professionals, best in this trade, thanks to Frank, Don and the whole crew. My kitchen island electrical panels went out and I called Frank right away and left a message. He called back within minutes and was totally forthright about how busy they are( maybe couple weeks to get in) I didn't mind waiting as I knew they were the best in this industry. Frank called me again later to squeeze me in which was so kind of him. Peter and Eloid came out fixed it in no time as well as some Gfis that went bad in the garage. Frank and his crew are absolutely the best, really great at what they do, courteous, and kind. If I can give them 10 stars I would. They are coming back out to put in a Tesla charger soon and I know I have the best guys to do so. You will be so impressed by these guys! They have the best and the perfect reviews. And once you have a great experience, you won't look anywhere else! Thank you Ballard!!!

We used Ballard electric to install can lights on a vaulted ceiling, move a chandelier, replace a ceiling fan, and switch out many of our old sockets. They were professional and easy to work with. Quoting process was really easy. I sent many photos of the work I needed done and received a detailed quote via email. We scheduled the work a few weeks out, because they were busy. They arrived on the scheduled day and completed the work on time and according to quote. We will definitely use them again!

Eric S.

7/20/2021

I just called 5 minutes ago and talked to Frank. I was using a heat gun in my garage and overloaded the circuit. I tried resetting all the breakers and couldn't find the one that could reset that outlet. Also the thermostat in my house wasn't working after I tripped that breaker. Frank helped me on the phone and walked me through the breakers and helped me find the breaker to reset. It worked! Frank is awesome and he just made a future customer. I will definitely refer him and Ballard electric to my colleagues. Excelleby job Frank!

Dirk G.

6/23/2021

Frank from Ballard Electric was professional, prompt, courteous and used text communications very effectively. We were able to get to a quote with texts, sending photos. We agreed on a work date, and Frank reminded me when we got close to that date. On the day of the job Frank reminded me in advance his team was on the way. Frank's team arrived when they said they would and were very good. They finished the job (new LED lighting installed in the garage, and a new GFCI outlet installed in the garage) in a couple of hours. I will use Ballard again, and I highly recommend them.

Vimala S.

2/26/2021

I called and spoke to Frank describing the problem and asking about their service fee etc. Frank said that they are very busy for a week to ten days for them to come and take a look. Their service fee is 150.00 for an hour and they usually resolve things in that time frame. He suggested that I flip the buttons on the panel that have 15 and 20 marked on it. If I did not find anyone or the problem persisted to call him back. I tried flipping as Frank suggested. Bravo! it worked. I called him back to express my gratitude. HE IS DEFINITELY MY ELECTRICIAN FOR ALL FUTURE NEEDS.

Ballard Electric is awesome! They show up on time wearing a mask, are very professional and EFFICIENT, and provided the most cost effective options for my project. Their prices are very reasonable, and they cleaned up the work site before leaving. Victor and Augustine are wonderful! Frank is always so helpful and they treat me like family! Definitely recommend this company!!!!!!!

I had a really frustrating flickering light problem that had been going on for a long time. I had at least two electricians come-out prior to Ballard and both electricians did not find the problem, but Peter at Ballard did. Peter listened to my problem, didn't rush, and carefully troubleshot the issue until he found the problem. After checking several things, he did extensive and careful work to gain full access to a painted-over subpanel area and subsequently he found a loose wire. The loose wire was properly secured and the flickering has stopped. There's nothing like someone who is dedicated to their craft and who is dedicated to actually making a difference for the customer. Thank you Peter and thank you Ballard!

Elizabeth Y.

7/19/2021

Everything went exactly as planned and as explained. We really valued terrific communication before, during and after inspections and work performed. They replaced an outdated electrical panel and tracked down and remedied a range of poorly done work by previous owner. Professional, clean, and safe. We will request Ballard to perform any other work we need.

Ricardo D.

6/15/2020

Needed: 1) smart switches installed, 2) outlets moved, 3) faulty can light rewired. They did work in 2 hours that takes others 4 hours. Price was fair and work was excellent.

Not very happy with the damage done during the replacement of my electrical box. The electrician used a hammer to break the stucco to make room for the electrical box, rather than use a saw, and did a lot of damage in the process. In all fairness their quote states that they do not do any repair stucco work, but it seems to give their employees a right of way to do as much damage as they like. The hammering also damaged the inside wall. They also drilled a 1 hole through my concrete slab that apparently was a mistake because they did not use it, rather they left it open for mice, insects, and water to damage my foundation. They also drilled two 1 holes for the ground stakes that they also left open. Then, knowing that it was going to rain the next day, they covered the giant hole and electrical box with a tarp using duct tape. The only problem is that duct tape does not stick to stucco and they forgot to close the electrical box, so my new electrical box was rain soaked. When I called them they told me that they were not responsible for rain damage. They did say they would come out and fix the other problems but that meant I would have to take a day off work to be there. I also asked three different employees to give me a quote to put in a 220v outlet which they never provided or acknowledged.
The only reason I gave them three stars is because they were all nice people.
However, I cannot recommend them for any electrical work.

These guys are great. I own a building in Newbury Park that needed some low voltage security work. I live in Dallas now so everything is long distance. I had tried a couple of other contractors who could not get the job done. These guys came out and evaluated the job and told me when they would be back to do the work. They were there when they said they would be and the completed the work we needed. They were great with phone calls to let me know what was going on.
Don't hesitate to call them, they are the real deal!

I have had the extreme pleasure of dealing with Frank and Don and James over the past few months, on multiple occasions. Each interaction was positive, professional and enjoyable, as their integrity and consideration of our needs were always their priority! They demonstrated a genuine caring and wish to fully please us with excellent successful results!

My video doorbell installations were exceptionally problematic. They never gave up! They were determined to make them work properly and perfectly! Don even brought in an outside specialist, at his expense, in order to fullfill his promise to complete this most demanding/problematic installation!!

They ALL went the extra mile, throughout this process...especially Don and Frank!!

Not only were their initial charges reasonable; in addition, Don and Frank we're outright, unexpectedly and extremely generous with us!! They actually took full responsibility for the extended/problematic installation! They cancelled their charges and did not charge us for any of the numerous extra hours of work! What an amazing, unique class act and totally honorable demonstration of the highest integrity!!

I give them my highest level of recommendation which they have certainly earned!!

Job was well done, arrived 8am in the morning as promised and got the work done!

Ballard Electrical are now my electricians for life!

These guys were great - efficient, clean in their work and very thoughtful in how to make the job go smooth. Had a few projects: ring flood light camera and a couple of canned lights and they did a great job. Gave great suggestions on placement and ultimately the best part for me was the neatness and time. Would highly recommend Agustin and Victor and would request them again. Thank you for all your great work.

The Ballard Electric Team have performed a number of electrical projects for us, including master bathroom remodel, new recessed lighting in kitchen and electrical wiring and outlets in our back yard. Don is extremely customer focused and provides excellent ideas and design considerations. Attention to detail, high quality workmanship and professionalism abound. And a special shout out to Frank, back in the home office, for keeping all schedules and billings exceptionally organized! So very highly recommended!

All around fantastic experience. I got the idea to get a heated bidet from Costco, but need the electrical outlet in the bathroom to be lowered and put behind the toilet. From the initial phone call to the work being done to the price. Friendly and professional in their communication. Frank answered all my questions on the phone and even provided a rough estimate of how much the work might cost and some ideas on issues that might arise during installation. The workers showed up on time (8am on a Wednesday morning) and were as courteous and friendly as Frank. They got the work done in a jiffy and so I asked them if they could do a second bathroom for me. They checked their schedule, said yes and knocked that project out too! The outlets look great and no drywall work was required. The over all cost for labor was their minimum and the parts were reasonable priced. I would definitely use these folks again and I'm definitely recommending them to all of my friends.

I've had Ballard Electric come to my house twice now; I went off the recommendation of my friend. These guys are super friendly, do excellent work, are meticulously clean. They're also very reasonable with their rates--something that has actually surprised me twice now! Let's just say that this hasn't been my experience with OTHER electricians! Ballard, you are my go to team from now on! I wish I could give you guys MORE than five stars.

Anna W.

3/21/2018

Every part of my experience with Ballard Electric was perfect. Frank was a great initial contact and Augie was so professional and FAST! We needed electric run above a freestanding fireplace. After another ridiculous quote, I decided to get another from Ballard. It was far more reasonable and they did a great job! They charge by the job, not hourly, so they can take their time and do it right.

Mike W.

11/19/2020

These guys are the go-to electricians. I took a chance on them based on word of mouth and they turned out to be great. They hung TV's in some tough places and helped with the wiring. Also were kind enough to help with some other issues not related to the job. Don and Frank are highly experienced and the guys that did the heavy lifting knew what they were doing. Very pleased and will engage them again.

We have used Ballard Electric for numerous projects. They have always been responsive, professional, & competitively priced. The work they did during the pandemic was done safely. Everyone on the team is friendly and works hard. They make sure to inform you of any possible hiccups that might occur with the work they are doing, but have done such amazing work that we haven't experienced hiccups in any of the times they did work for us. Highly recommend!

Contacted Ballard Electric for a quote to install a 15-40 outlet to change my Tesla model 3. They came out the very next day, gave me a very reasonable quote including city permit. Hired them and the job was completed quickly. They did a fantastic job communicating what they were doing and with the follow through of the city permit. I highly recommend Ballard Electric!

Ballards Electrical Company
Was as professional as anyone could imagine.
We called around other Electrical companies
And asked for a quote to install Ring Security System
Had quotes that were outrageous. Went online with Nextdoor and Ballards were highly recommended.
We were immediately contacted. Setup a date, then two electrical men Victory & Auggie came to our home. Installed the Security and within 1.5 hrs later we had a perfect Security Unit. I will definitely be calling them back for additional work. And cost was 1/2 the price of others companies. Thank you Mr. Frank and your crew.

This is the second time I have used Ballard electric and both times they have exceeded my expectations. I had a new electric car plug installed in my garage, fans replaced in my bathroom and new recessed lights installed in my closet and dining room. They offered competitive pricing, and were extremely thorough when explaining the process and their estimates. Their work was top notch, laying down plastic through out their work space and ensuring everything was cleaned up when their work was completed. The guys were super nice and easy to talk to whenever I had questions.. will definitely be using them again for any electric related jobs.

10/27/2020

Had new recessed lights put in our master bath which replaced an old flickering ballast lamp and single bulb fixture. What a difference! Brings new meaning to the term night and day. Job was quoted, scheduled, and executed within a few days. Team did great job on the installation, and worked efficiently...thanks!

I had a faulty switch in my garage, so the DIY in me kicked in and I ran to homedepot picked up a 60 cent switch I compared it to the old one, and took a picture of polarities apparently I had it wrong, It was partially working but using other switches near the new switch would trip the breaker. Called Ballard Electric, they came on time, within in 2 minutes they already knew the problem fixed it and left within 15 minute, ha. Sent me an invoice via email. Great guys! They also wore masks, ha

Mr. Ballard and his crew are exceptional and do a great job.

We needed multiple electrical updates, including an upgrade to our pool pump's wiring, some added lights and outlets & a fan replaced inside.

Mr. Ballard gave us a fantastic quote and then when they came over to do the job his team got everything done in one day, and at a very good price.

Everyone was professional, polite, and Mr. Ballard and his team answered every question we had during the job.

Thank you very much for a job well done, we appreciate it.

Another update as of 7/16/20:
I cannot rave anymore than I already have about this company! Quick response, excellent communication, thorough work done, extremely helpful, and VERY professional. We updated our deck, put in can lighting, hung a tv outside and upgraded our electrical panel. They coordinated with Edison and did all the tedious back and forth needed to complete our electrical needs.
Their customer service is BEYOND that I called 10 minutes after they left bc our AC didn't turn on and they drove ALL the way back and corrected it in less than 20 minutes of the time we called!!! Don, Frank, Augustine, Victor, Peter, and the rest...just awesome!!!! Thank you guys for all your great work!

Review as of 10/10/17-
Words cannot express how awesome this company is! They have come out numerous times now to do a bunch of different jobs. They mounted two of our tvs and were beyond helpful! We have had several of their employees come out to service and ALL are wonderful. They are very flexible, patient, mindful of the household, and have SUPERB customer service. They are and will be our only electrical company going forward as they go over and beyond. Such a fabulous group of guys! Thanks again Don, Frank & Team!!!!

Older review:
Glad I found this company...we had partial power and knew that our electrical wiring was off. Had scheduled another company to come out however our needs weren't met. Called last minute, Frank politely responded ASAP and sent Cole out immediately. We were extremely pleased with the service we received and how professional and patient Cole was. I'm a mother of three young children and naps are ESSENTIAL in our house. Cole was quiet the three days he had to be here and so considerate. Extremely clean as well. Ecstatic to have found a great electrical company!

I called Ballard Electric when half of the electricity in my house went out (at 3pm) and I couldn't get any information online from SCE. He advised me it was most likely a SCE issue but said he would come out if it made me feel more comfortable. I filed a report with SCE and waited until 5pm and hadn't received any updates. I called Don back and he was kind enough to come out after hours himself to check everything out while I waited for SCE to respond to my report. He confirmed that it was a SCE issue and helped identify that there was an issue at the electric box (it was very hot).

Even though he wasn't able fix the problem, he was so kind and helpful. I will be calling him for any electrical work we have in the future and highly recommend him.

Look no further! Ballard Electric is the real deal! They are totally efficient and professional! Frank was able to get me an appointment pretty quickly which was appreciated. He called me when his two electricians were on their way over so I could meet them there from work and let them in. So no waiting :)
Augustine and Victor showed up and not only were they both so professional & nice--they worked FAST and did a great job! They put up a chandelier, removed a light fixture and put up a fan, put up a third light fixture that involved moving the box over to center the fixture and they checked my disabled alarm system wiring that my husband and I were concerned about...all of this in 1.5 hours. WONDERFUL!

James D.

3/14/2019

I want to tell everyone that this is the best electrician I have ever had service from! It started with a good honest and fair estimate, I did my home work on them with the CSLB and yelp and they passed with flying colors!
They started the work with in a few days and replaced some existing can light and added 24 can lights in several rooms with dimmer switches.
The price was great and the work more that met my expectations, Agustin and his crew are the best.
They put plastic over everything and mopped as they finished.
I will definitely use them again!

We needed an Electrician to come and fix some sockets, and they did a thorough check for any problematic areas by accessing our panel. They replaced 5 sockets that were bad. Our home was built in 1972, and the wiring is old. I was expecting a huge bill. The price was completely reasonable, and we saved a few hundred dollars by using Ballard. I must say the 2 men that came out were professional, they knew exactly what to do. They were extremely helpful, and very clean. They knew a lot more than most electricians I've come across. We were extremely satisfied with the entire experience. Frank who books the jobs out is also very knowledgeable, and doesn't have a greedy bone. I highly suggest Ballard Electric!

Jeff L.

3/24/2020

Needed a few small jobs done and Ballard Electric was on top of it. They sent out Eloy and he was a great guy and extremely professional. I showed him what needed to be done and he quickly and quietly got to work. When he was done, I suddenly remembered an additional thing I needed checked and Eloy didn't even blink, he just smiled and said, 'Let's take a look'. This was the second time I have used Ballard Electric and I have been immensely pleased both times.

About a year and a half ago I decided to play general contractor and remodel my kitchen. I had several reputable, local electrical contractors come look at my project. I chose Ballard Electric because Don was very open about where he could help me minimize the cost of some of the changes we were considering and even after bidding the job as piece work he suggested we switch to time and materials because it was going to save us money. His crews were professional and always punctual when they were scheduled to come by. They were very flexible when we made changes and needed to schedule around work being done by other subcontractors. We finished the project about a year ago and have since rented our house. When my tenants had some of the new LEDs burn out, I emailed Don about it and he took care of it at no charge.

Sarah G.

12/04/2019 12:00:00 SA

I called Ballard for an estimate to replace a chandelier. I got a response immediately, the estimate was very reasonable, and an appointment was scheduled for the following day. The workmen were prompt, courteous, and fast! Can't say enough good things about this experience.

As others have noted...my experience with Ballard Electric was as good as it gets. I had multiple issues - nothing huge but a bunch of items which had gone awry over time and needed attention. Frank was quick to assess my needs and the following day, the two gentlemen arrived on time, good natured and immediate comprehension of what had to be done. With little explanation, they went to work fixing all the items (dimmers, switches, smoke detector replacements etc) All that at a reasonable charge. I found a treasure!!! Glad to know they're there for future electrical needs.

I called Ballard Electric to get a second opinion on our house's electrical issues (tripping breaker). Frank was patient, responsive and honest about what it could be. He was able to send two techs out, same day, and they took their time diagnosing the problem and fixing it. It took about an hour. Money well spent. I'm calling this company again when I need an electrician.

12/17/2019

I have had two great experiences with Ballard in the last two months!

The first time, their team came out to assess our request to make a set of light switches accessible from both sides of the wall (a home office was being turned into a bedroom). They gave me several options, taking their time to explain the choices to me and their pricing. I selected one of the options and asked when it could be scheduled. Unexpectedly, they said they could get it done today! Sure enough, they came back with the necessary parts an hour later and got it done. Furthermore, they only charged me 1/2 of their original estimate because there was less work involved than they had originally thought.

Then, today I had a question about a light bulb in an overhead can light that was flickering. Because the extender I had had in the canister had fallen apart, I was concerned that there was something wrong with the socket or wiring. However, Frank talked me through the situation, and I realized that I had mistakenly used a non-dimmable bulb in a dimmable socket. Sheepishly, I replaced bulbs and things are working fine. I really appreciate Ballard taking the time to discuss things, and not just schedule an appointment so they could make money.

Simply the best contractor I've ever worked with. Period.
They performed a small audio/video job for us and added an extra circuit with two electrical outlets in our garage. (We only had one outlet.)
Frank took care of all of the scheduling and invoicing. He's very courteous and professional. He was receptive to my budgetary constraints and then relayed those needs to his on-sight manager, John.
John showed up on time and was ready to go. Super nice guy! He made terrific suggestions on how to get the best bang for my buck and worked cleanly and efficiently. His colleague Eloy(sp?) was also courteous and professional.

I had some problems with my receiver and John had to come back twice. It happens. However, he was Johnny-on-the-spot (pun intended). The second time he came to look at the problem Frank had already called the manufacturer and knew precisely what needed to be done. John was finished in less than 30 minutes.
I've had other Home entertainment specialists work on my system. There's no regulatory oversight in that business so most of those companies have tried to scr%# me with their pricing. I honestly feel I paid Ballard a fair price for the services I received. The work was completed in a timely manner and performed by professionals.
What else could I ask for?
Thanks Frank. Thanks John. And Eloy, you rock too.

Ballard Electric did excellent work helping us with our new electrical panel this past month! Before any work was even done or paid for, they were so helpful over the phone walking me patiently through a very complicated process. The work was quick, efficient and well priced. They helped me understand what was going on, and helped to handle the inspection process as well. Thanks Ballard electric for everything!

I chose to get a quote on a project from Ballard based off of their 5 star yelp review. Through email and phone I felt confident I had chosen the right company to work with for running power to our backyard. The work was completed quickly this morning, the electricians were professional fast, easy to talk with. I look forward to working with them in the future when it comes time to replace our panel in the near future. I would recommend them to anyone in the area. Professional abs courteous at every turn. Getting a quote through sending pictures was a plus. Thank you Ballard!

Top notch electricians. Frank came out within a couple days of calling and brought a two man crew to run some 220 and 110 dedicated circuits in my garage. The crew did a fantastic job; all the conduit was ran clean and the panels and outlets were all tested and labeled. I had a small issue with the effectiveness of one of the employees, but Frank made an adjustment for me and made it right. Rather than taking it the wrong way, Frank thanked me and appreciated the feedback as he wasn't on the job the entire time for oversight.

Not all things in business go as planned. However when you exemplify the excellent customer service and maintain a positive attitude as Frank did, well that's what turns your company into a top notch, client satisfied, 5 star company.

Will definitely be calling Ballard back next time I need electrical work. Highly recommended and well deserving of the 5 star rating.

Frank and the electricians at Ballard Electric have been great to work with. They have worked on numerous electrical items in the past and have done a great job. Frank has been able to schedule the various jobs quickly and the electricians all have been on time, courteous and knowledgeable.

Great service from start to finish.

Frank got back to me right away with fair and honest pricing. Augie came through later and was very professional. Prep'd the area, was careful with equipment, and precise installation.

I had soundbar brackets, but Augie was able to mount slightly lower to keep the buttons accessible for when my kids eventually lose the remote and it looks even better. Cleaned up and even had the HDMI and mini extension cord ready for DirecTV.

This type of service was above and beyond my expectations. Ballard Electric has a new customer for life.

Fantastic company! Great work, great prices and knowledgeable personnel! Very sweet and flexible with any change of plans. Really loved working with them on two of my electrical projects. Both times we interacted with Augustin and Victor and they are the most friendly and knowledgeable crew i've worked with. They not only did a great job they took the time to vaccum and clean up the place and explain every little detail of what they had done before they left! I wholeheartedly recommend Frank and Danny from Ballard Electric and their team for your electric work!

Dan D.

Ballard Electric is absolutely top notch! From the very beginning the owner Frank was very easy to communicate with and knowledgeable. He got me on the books with his team and I have to admit I was worried whether his team would be as dedicated as I can tell Frank is to his business and customers. When two of his guys showed up, Peter and Eloy, they were just as friendly and capable as I had hoped Frank to be. They listened to my concerns, provided ideas how to best accomplish the different odd jobs I was looking to have done and explained things in a way even an average homeowner like myself could understand. On top of it all they managed to get one of extra outlets I was hoping to have done installed the same day! These are folks I would send to my grandmother's house and trust they would take care of her honestly - with or without me there. Keep up the great work guys, we need more professional tradesmen like you out there!

Robert F.

09/04/2020 12:00:00 SA

Augustine and Victor did an outstanding job at a very fair price. They wore a face covering the whole time, asked exactly what was to be done, and were very customer friendly. Frank in the office always took my calls or returned my calls in a very short time. Frank was a pleasure to work with always. I would highly recommend Ballard Electric and will do so with family and friends!

Ballard electric was fantastic! I was unable to get a hold of any electrician initially and Ballard electric responded immediately. They called me right away on a Sunday night and spent time answering my questions. I had 4 recessed lights installed into the kitchen as well as retro fit all the can lights in the house. It looks way better. They also replaced a bathroom fan that wasn't working and installed 2 lighting fixtures. Then they fixed a patio light that wasn't working and retrofit that as well. Then to top it off installed some dimmer switches. I eventually received many estimates and they by far had the best prices by comparison. The day of they showed up exactly at 8am as planned and immediately got to work. They explained everything they were doing and made sure to ask us where we wanted things before installing the light fixtures and recessed lights. They made sure we knew the price up front before buying pieces and fixing things. Overall great experience, they accommodated my schedule and did great work on top of doing it all for a great price. Would definitely recommend.

This is why Love the Conejo Valley.
Had a blowout on a plug plunging us in darkness. Called Don on a Saturday afternoon. He took the call while he was eating, talked me thru how to fix the problem and said Have a great day.
He easily could have made money off of us. Instead he got a lifelong customer in us. I suggest you use him and tell your friends.

I wish I had found these guys earlier. As good as it gets. I called in the morning for a small job and these guys were in my bathroom getting it done within a few hours. I looooove them!

I just bought my first place and wanted to install some recessed LED lights in the three bedrooms.

Response: Very fast, I sent an inquiry via Yelp on a Sunday, and got a response within the hour, that I would get a call the next day.

Call/Estimate: Frank gave me a call the next morning, and offered to come out to give me an estimate. I told him I wanted to shop around a bit. I talked to 3 or 4 others, but the high ratings and also what seemed like great customer service brought me back and they worked with me to get something affordable and attractive.

Frank went above and beyond to be very responsive and fast. The call happened on the Monday, the lights were installed by Tuesday afternoon. There was a minor issue that he has also gone above and beyond to take care of (something that can happen with any lighting project) and I appreciated how much integrity there was, in handling it.

Finished product: I love my new lights!

And the customer service provided by Frank and his team was great!

Had Cole and Angel come to our residence to install a large chandelier and an automated light switch. Cole knocked on the door and when greeted, introduced himself and handed a business card. Upon entering the home to look at the work needed to be done, he put on those covers over his shoes so the floors wouldn't get dirty. Extremely polite and professional.
The work they did was excellent. Cole listened to and answered all my dumb electrical questions and never was impatient. They also cleaned up all of their work area very well. Yes, Ballard is on the expensive side. But to me the professional qualities of their electricians is well worth it. Would highly recommend them to anyone.

Steve Y.

I am yet another Ballard Electric happy customer; I highly recommend them for all things electrical!

I experienced same-day service. Augustine did everything with efficiency and great care. He was knowledgeable and diagnosed my problem quickly.

My customer service was extraordinary. Someone called to let me know that Augustine was on his way here, ahead of schedule.

Thank you, Ballard Electric!

Don, Frank, Augie and the rest of the team were absolutely wonderful. We had an upgraded panel installed as well as recessed lighting throughout most of the home. They were quick with the quote and quick to get work started. They cleaned up after themselves every time they were here. There was also a huge hiccup with Edison (totally Edison's fault) and Frank was amazing with communication and trying to get things done on our timeline. We are extremely happy with the results and will definitely be using them for any future electrical work we may have.

When we needed up-lights in our backyard, we hired Ballard Electric, and they gave us fair prices for quality work. Frank gave me an estimated price right over the phone, so there were no surprises, and he was able to work with our schedule, even calling me to move up my appointment when they had a cancellation. Our backyard looked so good after the up-lights were installed, that we hired Ballard Electric to install recessed lighting in our bonus room (that we made into a gym). Peter installed the recessed lights in the bonus room, and did such a good job. He was professional and experienced, and the bonus room now looks like a mini gym studio! So it's no surprise that we hired Ballard Electric again for the recessed lights in our master bedroom. Peter and Eli installed those lights, and we could not have been happier with the way the lights turned out. They also got the electrical work in place to install pendant lights in 3 kids/guest bedrooms (I hadn't bought the pendant lights yet, but when I do, I'll definitely hire Ballard Electric to install those). And an extra thank you for being so careful to not leave a speck of dust behind! Peter and Eli took the time to wear booties and cover all furniture with plastic before they installed the recessed lights. The recessed lights look great, and we love that they're all on dimmers.
Thank you!!!

Update: 11-28-17: Just booked my 3rd job with Ballard Electric. After the lights, they came out and installed my flatscreen tv. Electric outlet installed behind tv and HDMI cables run through wall to AVR. Very clean install. Lots of compliments.
Now they will be running my speaker wires in the wall and wall mounting 4 new speakers for Dolby Atmos.
Real quality work. And the guys are great to work with. Don said I've met just about his entire crew. I can tell you that they are all courteous and they keep everything clean as they go.

Great job installing LED ceiling cans in living room. wanted the look of incandescent and these are pretty darn close. Really liked the quick quote and courteous service. I felt that they really appreciate my business. I would not hesitate to use them again.

Simply the best electricians in town. Clear pricing, expert employees. When I originally called to schedule an appointment (half my house had no power), the dispatcher walked me through the issue and advised me to call the SCE for repair. He charged me nothing for his time, and got me back online. Since then, I have used Ballard several times and been very happy. Highly recommend.

Most people complain when they get bad service. I think it's appropriate to complement good service too.

I've used this guy for anything from just replacing a broken switch to completely wiring transformers, lighting, network, *everything* (even projection TV) in my 70,000 ft. warehouse. He's been my electrician since 2001.

Now I can dim the light from EITHER doorway. I could hardly believe it when you said no new wiring but I'm amazed. Thanks for the new Home Automation job, you solved it perfectly.

PS: Tell Donny I sent you!

These guys are great!! Super fair price, but real magicians. They put in 12 recessed LED lights in our house without ripping up dry wall, then refitted another 5 old school recessed lights, all in one day. Makes the place look 10x better. Call them immediately!!

Mirka N.

08/05/2019 12:00:00 SA

We hired Ballard Electric to do our panel upgrade. They were very professional, on time, and most importantly beyond helpful. The guys knew what they were doing and even helped my husband with a few questions he had in regards to wiring outlets on our own. Amazing work!! If you are looking for a company to hire that you can trust, go with Ballard! The owner is one of the nicest guys you will meet! Thank you for everything you guys have done.

What a great company!! They answered my request for an appointment within an hour. Quoted me a price and came out the next day. Not only did they repair both of my switches they reduced the service charge as it was a pretty simple repair. I would call them again for any electrical issues I have.

Megan S.

Called Ballard Electric when we discovered some issues with the outlet for our furnace. I think they came out the very next next morning. Cole came right on time and did an excellent job. I would definitely call Ballard Electric again in the future for any other problems that come up in our remodel.

9/26/2019

Since becoming a new homeowner Ballard have been my go to electricians. Augie and Victor have come out several times to help me troubleshoot and update various things in the house. Frank is hands down the best at being responsive and working with our schedule AND the price is always reasonable.

The Ballard Electric team has helped us over the past couple years with electrical problems, and their work has always been done to a very high standard.

Kym M.

9/28/2017

Don came to my house to look at an electrical issue we had going on with our home office. This was critical and we needed an electrician immediately.... Don was laid back, easy going and completely honest!! There are a million ways he could have made this a big sale and told me I needed a new circuit braker or even a higher amp braker and we woulnd't have known.. but he simply switched out the braker with one he had on his truck and educated my husband and me about the panel and what might need to be done in the future with the added pull from the office... He WILL be the electrician we call when we are ready to make the changes!!

Once again Ballard Electric has earned a Five-Star rating. I rely heavily on other's reviews, and Ballard lived up to my expectations. We just had three heavy MinkaAire ceiling fans installed and we are very pleased. Quick response and fair pricing.

If I only had 3 words to describe Ballard Electric: Professional, Meticulous, Clean.

I had Ballard Electric come out to do some electrical work on a house that we recently bought. Donnie, Frankie, Johnny, and Auggie came out to install 8 LED lights on dimmers, hang 2 TV's to the wall with hidden cables, and install a new electrical outlet in the kitchen. The guys did a great job (often checking with me to make sure everything was placed where I wanted) and were very personable as well - who knew I would get in-house entertainment with the service! They completed the work requested and cleaned up immediately after. Pricing was competitive compared to other highly rated Yelp electricians in the area. I've already recommended them to other friends looking to do electrical work and will use them again for future jobs.

Norm A.

01/08/2015 12:00:00 SA

These guys are the best. Installed a ceiling box and fan. Did a nice job and cleaned up. Unfortunately, the fan was defective. They offered to come back for free when I got the replacement unit. I got the new unit but it was a simple swap so I did it myself. I will definitely use them again.

We recently purchased a new home and wanted to upgrade much of the high and low voltage systems. The jobs were fairly large so we bid the them out to three electrical contractors. Ballard electric was much less expensive than the other two. At first, I was a bit concerned about the low price thinking the quality might be low as well. When I asked the the owner about the low price he said our team will do a better job than anyone. I quoted you a low price simply because I want to earn your business.

He was true to his word. His team was amazing, talented, respectful and friendly. They finished the job ahead of schedule and left our home in immaculate condition.

I gave Ballard electric 5 stars simply because 6 stars was not available.

I hope we have an opportunity to use them in the future. Rarely do I have the privilege of working with such a tremendous service company.

The job was completed in half a day and they left the work area cleaner than when they arrived. They did not even collect payment till later and only after verifying I was satisfied with the job. No hidden cost. Friendly, courteous and professional Don, Frank and Augie are the BEST! I rated five stars buy they deserve10 Stars! Above & Beyond.

Ballard Electric was a fantastic company to work with and I personally want to thank Don, Frankie, and the rest of the team for the work they did. My house needed some electrical improvements - outdoor motion sensor security lights, new bathroom fans, new porch light with in wall timer, fix broken light switch. I sought out a couple quotes from local businesses. What I liked most about Ballard was their prompt communication, their knowledge of modern technology, and their upbeat personality. They met me for an in home estimate and I received the quote within 24 hours. We scheduled an installation day within 2 weeks, and everything went off without a hitch. They can be easily reached for questions and they really take the time to understand what the customer wants. As soon as I get to the store to find that new chandelier, I'll be calling Ballard to come install.

Don, Frank, and his crew are all pleasant to work with -- on the phone AND in person!
They are quick to respond, very efficient, and the same goes for their pricing.
Their workmanship is trustworthy, Communication/Business Transactions are easy and smooth whether it be over the phone, text, email, or in person.
Would recommend any time.

Great knowledge and customer service. I was frustrated and they literally fixed the issues within minutes. I will definitely seek them out again for any electrical needs.

Don brought a crew of expert electricians to my house during a major renovation. They installed a few new circuits, rewired my garage to correct a hazard left by previous owners, installed a chandelier in a vaulted ceiling where none existed before, installed several cans, and other troubleshooting and repairs. Don made good recommendations throughout and was fair in his pricing. It may be a small thing, but I liked Don's enthusiasm about the work his company was doing. His crew was hardworking, professional, and efficient. It is really nice to work with pros who know what they are doing, do what they say, and do it right the first time. I am extremely satisfied and strongly recommend Ballard Electric.

I called several other electrician's on Yelp with great reviews. They either flaked or continually rescheduled with me. I finally came around to calling Don from Ballard Electric. He came by the same day to quote me and the next day to hook up my spa. Don's an honest guy with honest prices and he worked within my budget. If you're looking for an honest guy who really does appreciate the business, Don is your guy!

This company could not be better. From the moment they answer the phone, you get the sense that they are not robots. The owner gave me a timely appointment for back up but turned out they were able to fit me in later that same day. The two electricians who came to do the work were as competent and pleasant as one could have hoped for. They were efficient and polite. I love to Yelp good work and hope this helps others to find Ballard Electric as courteous and competent as I did.

Quick quote, like 15 minutes quick!! Great, professional service and the job (hanging two chandeliers and pulling electrical) was done perfectly!

They were on time, very knowledgeable about everything - told me exactly how much Drywall and other non - electrical work that might be needed after their work was finished- really gave me whole pictures & prices. Quick work & it looks so nice. They were Upfront about everything ! They did outside lights , indoor issue with outlets, indoor fan repair & outside install of back lights on house. Thank you John, Cole & Dan for being nice to Rocco the Lab too!

Been having an intermittent light issue with a fan/light fixture in bathroom. It's the original fixture from a 30+ year old build. Fan noise was increasing in decibels by the day. I called Ballard Electric after seeing a recommendation on the NextDoor app. Cole (Foreman) was there the next morning on the dot of the arranged time, with a handshake and a business card. He listened attentively to my concerns and my theory of the issue, without seeming to dismiss my thoughts as simply coming from someone female. He was very thorough, checked all possibly wiring issues, inspected GFI outlets, inspected the fan and cleaned the hamster wheel in the unit. He gave me some advice on the broken fan cover. He brought down the decibel level of the fan considerably. He even fixed the intermittent light problem--an apparent, very simple fix. He did not rush out and listened patiently when I asked him another electrical question unrelated to the issue I called for. I would most definitely call Ballard Electric again in the future. Thank you Cole and Don!

What is there not to say - I found them using yelp and like many read reviews and got a quote - I am extremely happy I chose them - the Ballard team are amazing - Very professional , knowledgable , on time , great rates (omg can't beat the rates) and they were able to work around my busy schedule. Would always recommend them to all my family and friends. Thank you Ballard team My place looks great :-)

Outstanding service! Professional, efficient, and reasonably priced. Ballard quoted us half the price of other electricians for installation of a 240V outlet for an electric vehicle charger. The other companies heard Tesla and thought they could charge us twice as much, but Ballard looked at the job, not the car, and quoted a price that was reasonable for the work. We will definitely use them again in the future, and would highly recommend them to others!

Very pleased that the 2 guys came out within hours of contacting Ballard and did a nice job, exactly what I needed fixing ungrounded outlets. i used the Yelp voucher and that saved $50!

Great company. Don and Frank came out to give a quote on replacing all of our landscape lighting. These guys were beyond professional, and actually suggested against some things I wanted done because they said it would be a waste of money (Who turns down money? Good guys do!) There quote came within hours and was what we felt reasonable. Signed off on the work and their crew (with Frank and Don) were at our house within a week and completed the entire job in a day. They tested all the equipment against our remote system and made sure we were happy with the job. The added touch was they remembered our infant daughters name and would refer to her as the true boss of the house. Not only would repeat, I plan on calling them back asap for some interior work.

Randi L.

08/09/2017 12:00:00 SA

John and Eloy arrived on time and were extremely knowledgeable. They did an excellent job and make me wonder how I lived this long with my old lighting. They are also honest and fair with their pricing. Frank answered my phone call when I made my appointment and he is friendly and helpful. It is refreshing to know that good businesses still exist!

Loved the level of service I received. I had an emergency today with a bad breaker. I had a return phone call within an hour and he showed up at my door 10 minutes later. Reasonably priced as well. I would recommend to anyone and will definitely use again!!

About six months ago I had all the outlets in about a third of my house go out. None of the usual quick fixes worked. Don came out promptly and discovered that he also couldn't do a quick fix, and had to bring in a second guy to check all the wiring in the house until they found where a construction nail had fused with a wire after all these years and blown out part of the electrical system. Don gave me a fair price for the number of hours it took to fix this.

Today, having a different issue arise, I called him and he agreed to come out this afternoon on short notice. As it turns out, I'm having a pool put in and my contractor said his electrical guy is coming over this morning and can take a look at it. I called Don back to cancel - Sure, no problem. Cheerful as can be, and even agreed to come take a look if I call him back, should the pool guy not be able to handle it.

Just went on here to verify that I'd already given Don a positive review and couldn't find it, so here it is, a twofer. I wouldn't hesitate to use Don again, and will certainly call him for any future problems.

We moved to our new home. Our dryer had 4 prongs and the wall had 3. Don knew how important it was to get our dryer up and running. He came same day and fixed it. Thank you again for the fast service!

Ballard Electric installed some outdoor security lights for me. They responded to my first inquiry within an hour and came out within 48 hours. I am very happy with the results and the cost. I most appreciate Ballard Electric's dedication to customer service. I recommend this company and will call them again.

10/21/2015

It's tough to get five stars out of me - but when I give them, it's only to the best. Simply put - Ballard Electric are consummate pros!

From the start to finish of our rather big multi day project, we were glad to work with such a friendly, courteous & happy crew. They took care to work around our family's special needs and still got the job done. They have solidly earned our business loyalty for life. Thanks guys!

My job was small, just a few outlets that needed to be replaced and a new one installed, but Ballard Electric treated me like a valued customer. They came out on a Saturday at no extra cost, showed up on time, and did the work quickly and professionally. Don was more than willing to do as much work as I needed in the time frame he gave me, when he could have easily charged me for another visit. I thought the price was reasonable. I will definitely use them again.

Yevgeniy P.

Called Don last minute to fix some phone outlets as well as to mount a ceiling fan in my garage. Set up the appointment next day, the technicians were prompt, respectful and clean. The price was reasonable for the amount labor required. Overall very satisfied and will use again on future projects. Highly recommended.

My mother was moving from rehab into a home we had just leased when BAM half the houses power failed, As she is on oxygen it was imperative to get power UP! I had never used Don but explained the situation, This guy ought to wear a cape, he came over immediately and was incredibly adept in mapping out the area of the problem and solving it all in under two hours. I am very indebted for his help and will be using him for all manners of electrical issues at my business and homes.

Jan M.

7/19/2016

These guys are just super responsive and fun and easy-going. What a pleasure. I needed to have my additional outlets in garage and pantry, as well as examining the breaker box to see if I was powered properly for new convection ovens. Turnaround time between phone call and completion was two days! The crew figured out a way to add outlets without needing to punch holes in the wall to string wiring. The breaker box was wired okay, just needed a new breaker. Efficient, clean, neat, reasonably priced. In and out. Definitely will use them again.

John D.

06/05/2016 12:00:00 SA

Don and Frank are fantastic! I've used them for years for a number of jobs inside my home. They've installed chandeliers, can lights, outdoor light fixtures, and flatscreen's for me. You can expect professionalism and fair pricing. 5 stars

Wow! Ballard Electric just left and I am so impressed with the work they did. I called to have two ceiling fans replaced and everything looked over after the house had a power surge. The two fans were fixed and then the electricians went above and beyond. We moved into the house three years ago and had an electrician out to fix a few things. He said it wasn't possible to fix the items without a total rewire. Ballard came in today, had a look and fixed the problems very quickly with no rewiring. We are thrilled to have our fans and outside outlets working again.

Sam A.

2/24/2014

I called Don last minute to do some electrical work on a recently purchased home and he was more than willing to accommodate my schedule. He came out with his partner and they knocked the job out in no time. The most impressive thing about Don's work is how clean the end result is. I had a new ceiling light fan installed, two bathroom fans and a lot of other miscellaneous electrical work and everything worked and looked beautifully! I have my new go-to electrician! Highly recommended.

My wife and I just moved in to our new place last year and I was going nuts trying to get my porch light and switch to work... A year later I finally broke down and admitted defeat. I called a couple of electricians and they were all so expensive for just trouble shooting. I came across Ballard electric and contacted them and set the appointment. The electricians came over right on time and got right to work. They were able to find the problem and get it fixed in no time. They were incredibly professional and courteous and even explained some fundamentals to me. If you have any issues big or small, they are the company to go to.

Vivien A.

I had a great experience with Ballard. They were knowledgeable, on-time, efficient, very reasonably priced, professional, and pleasant. They installed an island chandelier and many recessed lights for me. The whole process was smooth and I intend to use them again. Would highly recommend!

Lindsey S.

5/27/2016

We used Ballard in our new home today. Wanted to wall hang a TV in a complicated spot and change out an old chandelier for a more modern pendant light in the kitchen. The team was prompt, extremely detailed oriented and very thorough in their work. And $50/hour less expensive than another electrician we recently used. Definitely going in our book as 'our' electrician. Highly recommend.

Heather K.

Hired based on reviews. The photo on Yelp looks like a friendly, older electrician, which is kind of what I wanted. Instead I spoke with Frank, who insisted on bringing multiple electricians (or helpers?) to my home at a higher hourly rate. While it wasn't really what I was looking for, I agreed, thinking that even though the hourly seemed high, that more people meant they'd get done faster, so less time... When the work began, it quickly became apparent that really, only one of the people on the crew really knew what he was doing. In all fairness, the one who knew what he was doing did great work- clean, detail-oriented, and he was very knowledgeable. The others did sloppy work (but unfortunately I didn't notice till after they left and saw the quality of the light wiring and the mess they left) and then once the tasks they were assigned were done, they stood around a lot while the job was finished by the main guy (which could've been time they used to clean up the mess they made). So, the whole multi-person rate clock was ticking away, but just one person was actually working. When I got the bill I thought it was high for what I got. I could certainly be wrong, but my guess is that the other guys weren't full- trained or licensed, so I feel like I paid an extra-high rate for a good electrician and some so-so sidekicks. Before they started the lighting work, I asked for a quote on some other work outdoors, which they did send me a quote for, but then when I had a question about it they said they'd call back with an answer and never did. Not a disaster or anything, but I definitley wouldn't hire these people again.

Tried doing a simple home repair myself and botched it up.
Called Ballard and in 20 minutes he was over and getting to work.
Highly recommend his service I will use for any additional work needed!

So far this is the best company I ever dealt with regarding any repairs around my home. I was mouthing a TV in my kids room and drilled in the drywall thru an electric wire, caused several outlets to go out. I called Ballard electric and talked to Frank over the phone,immediately felt his caring and understanding of my worries, directed me to ensure that if breaker in the panel is off then DON'T put it back for safety. Frank set an appointment with a technician in his crew, and he provided an exceptional service in terms of punctuality, clarity about steps for fixing the problem, how much roughly would it cost (by the way, it was cheaper compared to another company's estimate), placing a sheet to collect the debris and cleaning after the job was done, friendliness, and finally patching the wall in such a meticulous way. Thanks Ballard electric and glad that I have reliable company in my mind for any future needs.

Had old smoke alarms going off on a Saturday and called several Electrcians and none could come until next week. Don responded and was at my house in about hour and did an excellent job replacing them all, at a very reasonable cost. He was very professional and plan to use him again for some LED lighting. Highly reccomended.

Donny at Ballard Electric has done work for me both at my home and in my warehouse. He has always been reliable and honest with very fare prices. I have had some bad experiences in the past with other electricians trying to inflate the bill but never with Donny. At my house he had to run some wiring up the wall and across the ceiling. I don't know how he did it but I didn't even have to patch a hole in the wall. I plan to have him install my media equipment next. 5 stars well earned. I would not hesitate to refer him to friends and family.

I had these guys come out for a simple light switch fix. While they were here, I asked about sound systems and a possible rewiring for a switch that was installed in the wrong place. They were knowledgable, and took the time to answer all my questions. I felt comfortable having them come back and install surround sounds speakers in my ceiling and move the switch. They were quick and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend to my friends.

Ballard redid the electrical for the whole downstairs and loft addition for our house, no complaints. We ran into an electrical issue 6 months out, called Ballard and they showed up within two hours and tested everything and found the problem, which was Southern California Edison's. Talk about customer service after the sale! Thanks!! Will definitely want to use them for the upstairs remodel in July!

Ballard Electric is a wonderfully knowledgeable, honest, skilled and efficient electrical contractor. We have a house in Thousand Oaks that we are in the process of selling, are currently in escrow on. The escrow hit a snag when the buyers inspector insisted that the original 2 pronged outlets, non grounded plugs were not safe. Some local electrical contractors we got bids from saw the desperation of our situation and tried to take advantage of us, proposed ridiculously expensive, cumbersome solutions. One wanted to tear out the drywall and re-wire the entire house for 10-15k over 7-10 days! There was no way we were doing this and the sale appeared to be in jeopardy. Others were similarly predatory with inflated prices.
Don Ballard to the rescue! He came over within a couple of days of calling him and had a much better, safer, cost effective solution for our original 1960's wiring and 2 pronged plugs.
He proposed replacing the 2 pronged plugs with new 3 pronged GFI receptacles. His men are very knowledgeable, skilled and efficient as well. They advised us to have them put the GFI's at the level of each plug and not at the circuit breaker, which is against code. They did not leave any messes and were polite and communicated well. It took 2 men about half of a day for time and materials.
When they were done the electric was updated and up to code, inspection issues were resolved and escrow is now moving forward. An elegant solution that is.simple, affordable and highly effective. Refreshingly old school honest, skilled craftsmen for a fair price.
Thank goodness for Don Ballard and his men!

I've never needed an electrician before. Today, there was a brown out situation in the area that included me. I thought the symptoms were strange and sought an electrician. Don picked up late in the evening on a holiday weekend and advised that he'd be able to help - he quickly arranged an appointment later that evening. Apparently, just as he was jumping in his rig to come out, he received a call from his mother-in-law, who also lived in the area and was experiencing the same brown-out condition. Don quickly called me back, advised me to confirm with SCE (which I did), and saved me the expense of a service call. Don's confident professionalism and friendly, courteous manner on the phone convinced me of who I'll be calling should I ever require the services of an electrician again. Nice that he's local, too.

Well...exactly, I didn't really use his service. I had some electrical problems. Only the kitchen power and lightings came on. I called Don Ballard. He answered the phone and said he would be at my house in an hour. While I was waiting for him to come, I played with the power and was able to get it to work again. I told him no need to come anymore. He was totally cool about it, even though I ended up wasting 20 min of his time. Will definitely use his service next time!

Karen T.

9/13/2014

Don't know what happened here. I called Ballard Electric and got a call back very quickly and the owner came out to look at the work I needed to have done. He was right on time and very personable. The problem is, he said he would send an estimate the following Monday. I waited a week and then called again. Never received a estimate or a call back....? go figure.....Maybe my job was too small (5 rooms with recessed lighting, plus speakers in 2 rooms for tv's and a tv hung and a light outside), but it would have been nice if I would have been told that. Still looking for someone that wants to do the job for me. Very frustrating.

our friends recommended Ballard to fix all of our light and wonky electrical stuff after moving into our new home. They fixed everything on the list. Augustin and the 2 other gentleman were cordial, fast and knowledgable. They also went above and beyond and had a hand vac to vac up dust where they were drilling. All the small details matter to us. thank you. Will use your company again for my foyer chandelier install once I figure out what I want! 100% happy customer. There was not any shady pricing questions or add ons and nickel and diming. This is how you keep loyal customers who will come back to you again and again.

Called and setup an appointment for last week , they said they would be out 1-4pm then said later that day and then never even came by. Called back the next day and no answer. Bad service, maybe they were just busy but a call back is due if they are not going to show up.

Jeff H.

9/19/2013

I needed to get some electrical work done and didn't have a clue who to call, so I turned to Yelp.. Best decision ever. Don and his crew came by on two separate days (weekend at that) to install recessed lighting, run wires for cable/speakers/AV system, and to mount my new 60. He squeezed me into his schedule very quickly, the guys did excellent work, and Don was the nicest, fairest guy I could hope to meet. I will definitely be calling him back up when I want to replace some chandeliers, install ceiling fans, more recessed lights, etc.

I echo everyone else's comments. You can't go wrong with Ballard Electric.

Chris H.

12/21/2013

Don's a good guy. I had him out to install an electric car charger. He came over free of charge to preview the situation, then he and his guys came out again and did a good job that was on budget. What I didn't expect is his team making a few extra fixes to some pre-existing problems free of charge. Would definitely use them again.

I had to take a moment and let everyone know about my experience. This is something I usually do not do but felt I needed to pass on this recommendation. I lost power in part of my house over the holiday weekend. Not sure what to do I called my friends asking for referrals to a electrician. Afraid no one knew anyone good so I went to Yelp looking for someone. I saw Ballards ad and read the reviews along with several others. I decided to go with Ballards due to the comments about the owner Dan. I left a message expecting to get a call back within a few days. To my surprise Dan called within the hour and was available to stop by in the afternoon. He was amazing, he explained the fees up front and there was no additional costs for the holiday weekend. He called before coming over to tell he when he would arrive he looked up my address on Google maps so I did not have to give out the usual driving directions. He arrived on time very professional and extremely kind. He took the time to make friends with my dog. Now he checked out the problem inside my house checked the power from all the outlets and then outside. I could not believe how honest he was. I have a old house and knew my electric box was very old never upgraded. He told me the truth, told me I had overloaded the circuit and that it was minor. He went on to give advice about how to even out the power in each room actually calculated the voltage my computer and Xbox were probably using. By taking his advice things are working out. I was amazed by his honesty and skill for he knew his way around my old fuse box. I would recommend Dan and his team to anyone.

We've gotten service from Ballard Electric for our businesses several times. We've been extremely pleased with how fast they arrive to do the repairs and how professionally the jobs were done. We've never needed them to come back for the same job as everything was done properly the first time around. The owner is very professional and very easy to communicate with... you don't feel like you're being talked down to when discussing your project unlike other companies I've dealt with. Overall, always very pleased with the professionalism of this company and would definitely recommend them for small or big projects.

07/11/2012 12:00:00 SA

I don't know how these guys got such a good review. They sucked. They weren't friendly, left a huge mess and were so late that I almost called someone else. Sad thing is that I should've called someone else. AWFUL experience.

In our new home Ballard Electric upgraded all of our GFCI, and reworked a light switch area and also addressed safety concerns brought out in the inspection with wiring. He gave me an oral quote, when the price went over because one of his service men spent a little more time than expected, he stuck to his original quote with no hassle. The service was professional and very good. I would recommend him and will use his company again.

Ballard Electric is simply the best!! After using Ballard Electric many times now I felt compelled to let others know how honest, reliable and skilled all of Don Ballard's team is. No matter your Electrical needs big or small, scheduled or emergency, Don and his team are committed to the clients and their needs. I have called Don in need of immediate service due to circuit breaker failure on a weekend and he was not immediately available, he sent one of his crew members right over and did not charge me an emergency weekend service fee. I believe that Ballard Electric fees are fair and reasonable and once you have him provide you service you are considered a lifetime client for which you will be treated like family. Next time that you are in need of Electrical work, lighting or anything pertaining to a sound system, look up the phone number of Ballard Electric and give Don a call. You absolutely will be thrilled with the service that you are provided.

Don does things right. I was referred to Don by my plumber when we discovered that the electrical lines going to my pool equipment had corroded beyond repair. Don was able to come over within a couple of hours to take a look at what was needed to be done. He came back the following day with a couple of employees, to figure out the best way to approach the issue as I was having other repair work done in the backyard and Don assured me that he would fix the problem and worked efficiently with the other contractor i had hired. Don proved to me he is one of the best electricians (if not the best) working in the Agoura Hills area.

Donald S.

Don installed a sub panel and corrected some issues in my main panel too. Very nice and knowledge. Reasonably priced too. Quick good job, Thanks Don

Ballard Electric did a great job! The owner Don Ballard, came out himself, to help with the fuse box and help change all the outlets throughout the house. He was very knowledgeable, very kind and answered all my questions.

The light fixture in my kitchen that holds two flourescent lights disconnected from the ceiling a few days ago. I called Don Ballard and asked if he could come over today, Friday. He said yes and we set a time. He arrived on time with his crew. In a few minutes they had taken care of the problem. Very good service. Call Don if you need help with electrical problems. I had used his services a few years ago and had the same helpful service.

I can handle very basic electrical work but I know my limits. We just bought a home built in 1988 and there are several things out of date. Well, I found some electrical issues that I and my general contractor could not figure out. It was time to call in a professional. I looked at Yelp, read a couple of reviews and made a few calls. When I spoke with Don, he assured me he is fully capable of trouble shooting and finding the issues. (He also said he never assumes.) I felt comfortable with Don after speaking with him and asked him to do the job. He came to my house on a Saturday which is great for me because I like to watch and learn. Don advised me on the phone to share with him all my findings and to open any outlet before he arrives because this will save time which costs me. (Great advice for those who have handle outlets prior,) I reviewed my findings with him and he got started trouble shooting. Without boring you with all the details, Don was able to find the problem in a reasonable amount of time and stated the chances are small but this issue could cause an electrical fire or someone could have been shocked badly by simply plugging in an appliance. I was very pleased he found and fixed the issue. After that, Don started a couple of other projects as we are at the end of a remodel. The work he performed was excellent and he is very professional. Before he left, we looked at my old pool equipment and I shared some of the issues. Don said not a problem and he will come by one day next week to poke around. I was so pleased with him that I told him to come when he has time and start working. If it is a minor deal,,,just handle it and if it a bigger issue to call me. I would highly recommend Don Ballard if you are looking for a quality Electrician (with a good personality) who will treat you fairly and get the job done.
