Service was superior hands down! I reached out via Yelp, Bear Electric, replied within a timely manner. Very communicative. Set up an appointment the very next day.

Thank you so very much for the quality and customer service.

If you contact these guys and leave a bad review, be aware they conduct a months long campaign of calling you with different phone numbers to harass you into changing your review.
They may very well do great great work, I don't know as we never got that far due to the unprofessional attitude received over the phone. I would guess they do great work based on the seriousness they take their reviews.
If anyone knows how to get the clowns to stop calling, I'm all ears.
Lose my number!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The owner -Sam- was very responsive and helpful. He was able to get his crew to upgrade my breaker literally 1 day after he surveyed the site and for a great price. The stucco repair they did was pretty much perfect and matched my existing wall. The crew was very fast and respectful. They ran a line from my breaker to my kitchen so we could switch out our gas stove for an induction stove. Very grateful that we got to work with this company.

The guys were quick to install my Nema 14-50 outlet for an EV Vehicle! I was able to speak to Sam and he gave me some recommendations and we scheduled the next day.

Overall, the installation was quick at a reasonable price.

We initially contacted Bear Electric for our outlets not working in the bathrooms. They diagnosed it quickly and had our bathroom with power in 10 minutes! They also came back and added some lights to our loft. Fantastic job by the Bear Electric Team!

Had some LED ceiling lights going out intermittently. The techs from Bear Electric came out, inspected and replaced (4) ceiling lights within 30 minutes. They were prompt, friendly and provided excellent work. They weren't the cheapest, but I believe I got a good value, based on the high quality of work provided. Would use again for any other electrical needs.

The owner, Sam, reached out to me because I was not 100% completely satisfied. He didn't have to do it but he did!!! Sam personally came to my house and fixed my yard light fixtures, went to Home Depot to get the supplies that was warranted for my particular issue. Instead of giving up on a difficult problem, he kept going until he got the problem fixed and didn't charge me extra!!! He truly cares about his customers and I couldn't speak more highly of his customer service and his commitment to full satisfaction. I am in absolute awe of this owner and the beautiful work he did!!!

Sam and his excellent team did it again! Shoutout to Joe and John who did an excellent job on uninstalling-transferring-reinstalling my Tesla wall charger when I moved into my new home. They also did great work assembling and installing my ceiling fans and pendant lights. Joe and John both were knowledgeable and respectful during the job and didn't even need to be prompted to clean up after themselves and put shoe covers on when they noticed they were stepping on carpet. Like I said I didn't even ask them but they insisted which I though was a great way to go that extra mile while doing the job. Keep up the great work guys!

Power went out in my home office. I work from home so I desperately needed the power back on. I called Sam and he got his team out to me in an hour. Joseph and Jonathan were complete pros. They troubleshooted and root caused the issues to some bad wiring causing an overloaded circuit. They fixed the affected receptacles/wiring and replaced the fried breakers. They were out the door and I was back to work in an hour. It was only two hours from the time I called Bear Electric to the time Joe and Jonathan left my home. Appreciate it

Sam installed two outdoor ceiling fans for us. He went above and beyond to ensure the mounting and framing he installed was perfect and strong (there was no existing fan boxes - just lighting cans.

The fans themselves were also complex to assemble and install, with both wall switch/remotes - and also smart-home HomeKit functions.

Professional and pleasant to deal with. Left the work area clean and tidy.

We'd highly recommend Bear Electric - and we'll be calling them for all our electrical needs from now on.

The owner Sam was very quick to respond to our inquiries and set up same day visit for an in person consultation. Joseph and his partner were the electricians that were assigned to us and they were both very friendly and easy to work with. Overall, my husband and I were very happy with their service. They were very fast to respond, knowledgeable, friendly and professional. We definitely recommend them and will be returning customers.

I had a great experience with Sam and his team. They were quick to respond, communicated clearly, were very well priced, and did the job clean and quick.

He helped me install my Tesla charger within 2 days of getting my car at a better price compared to others.  The charger tripped up some of the electricity on my panel and he returned free of charge to fix it.

Highly recommend Bear Electric. They were a pleasure.

Sam at Bear Electric has made me a lifetime customer. He went above and beyond helping me repair a problem with my main breaker. My lights were dimming and power was fluctuating throughout the house at about 9 PM last week. I called up Sam thinking there was no way he would answer the call. He didn't, but then called me right back a minute later. I explained to him the problem and we walked through some troubleshooting steps over the phone. Mind you it's late in the evening and I can tell he is a family man as I can hear his kids playing in the background during all of this. But he still took the time to figure out the problem.

He ultimately determined I needed to replace my main 100 amp breaker. I knew he wouldn't be able to come out right then because it was so late and there was no way I could find a store open to buy a replacement breaker at that hour. But Sam offered to sell me one of his if I wanted to swing by his house and pick it up. I drove over there, got the breaker, and we chatted for a bit. I could tell from our short conversation that he was a hard working, kind, and honest man. These are the primary characteristics you want when you're looking for someone to do work on your house.

And how bout the fact that he saved me hundreds of dollars by enabling me to fix the problem myself? He could have just taken me down as a customer and charged me $300-$500. But instead he went out of his way to give me a hand and for that, I'm incredibly grateful.

Sam and Bear Electric should be first on everyone's list when looking for a reliable and trustworthy electrician.

I highly recommend Bear Electric as your go to Electrician! Living in the IE the weather is often HOT! I was in need of a fan installation for our baby's nursery room. I went on to the Nextdoor app. and Bear Electric was highly recommended by several neighbors. I spoke with Samuel and he was very knowledgeable and explained different options in regards to installation and controlling the light and fan speed via wall switch (what I was looking for). He recommended a fan with lighting that he used for his daughter's nursery and sent me info. The fan had great reviews on Home Depot and I loved the style. Most importantly it was a quiet fan, which I appreciated for baby's nursery.

I immediately requested to move forward with working with Bear Electric after our phone conversation. Bear Electric was very reasonable in regards to pricing but most of all the QUALITY of work he and his team did with installation was superior, quick, and very clean (trust me when I say clean, my husband is picky when it comes to any defects, holes, etc.). Also, they were very respectful of our household, wore booties and cleaned up after install.

Thank you, Bear Electric for the excellent work! Look forward to using you again in the future.

I live in a 60's era house and the circuit breakers were starting to give me problems with one definitely going toes up. I looked at the five star reviews on Bear after reading many other reviews, and chose them. Sam and Joe came out a bit late with excellent communication about why they were late, and it was only 15 minutes outside of the allotted time.
They cleaned the circuit box, replaced four breakers and showed me WHY the others needed replacing. (Test equipment I'm familiar with as an amateur radio operator).
Highly recommend them for electrical repair and replacement. Don't be shy about asking them what they are doing (I did). They'll give you straight answers and explain the complexity of electrical issues with you. Or not. Just know they do good work.

Sam is amazing!
Ceiling fan/living room not getting any power--had two other people say a bunch of fluff of what they would have to do, how long it would take etc...
Contacted Sam at like 10 PM yesterday he said he would call in the morning-he did, arrived at 11 (agreed upon time, on the dot) and was all said and done by 1130! plus he walked through my backyard and gave some feedback with some other issues we will have to address in the future ..and guess who we will call when we need to do that? BEAR ELECTRIC! thank you soooooooo much Sam! you're our go to electrician now!

Sam (owner) reached out immediately after my inquiry and gave me a quick rough quote which helped us with our decision to choose them as it seemed like a fair price. We quickly set up a date (only a few days out) and aligned on what work would be done.

When Sam and his team arrived they were right on time as they said, called before arriving as well. The entire team was very nice, respectful, and working hard.

We had recessed lighting (with drywall repair), new outlets, updated switches, and replaced multiple light fixtures. Everything was done quickly and to my satisfaction.

Highly recommended, very professional, and reasonably priced. Thanks so much Bear Electric for all of your hard work!

TESLA OWNERS: STOP CALL THEM NOW!!!!!!This is the place to call...I called Bear Electric at 8:30pm to leave a voice mail to have them fix my home charger as I received an error message charging equipment communication lost..Realizing my car and cord were fine, they checked the breaker and found out it was faulty...I wasn't home so Sam was kind enough to face time me and I saw the breaker had some damage from a critter or at closer look a spark damage...Sam them starting pulling other breakers and found the same damage...I am witnessing all this and he is showing me everything....Thank goodness it happened now before we started putting on the air conditioning for the summer, who knows how long it would of lasted before a fire... He did an other haul of the box and after some price negotiations which we were both fair, honest, and respectful: he completed the job as stated and I'm so glad I went with him...It's hard to find nowadays honest, great work ethic,  great work product companies...This is one of them and I will call him again...No wonder why they have almost 750 reviews and a 5 star!!!!!  Thank you SAM

Sam at Bear Electric is an amazing electrician!!! I had a power outage late last night. I called Bear Electric. He responded quickly and was at my home first thing in the morning. He gave me a fair price and was quick to do the repairs that I needed. I was able to go on about my day knowing that all issues were taken care of. Being new to the area it's hard to find trustworthy people but with Sam you can honestly tell that he enjoys his work and helping customers. I'm forever grateful! Thank you.

Sam and his company at Bear Electric are now our go-to electricians! He first came to our home to install a 220V NEMA 14-50 plug for our electric car. He was through, friendly, and provided excellent work for a fair price - he even had time to change one of our outlets to a four-port!

Based on our great experience with him, we called him again to help troubleshoot a GFCI receptible that kept tripping. He came within a few hours of calling! He diagnosed the problem quickly, replaced the outlet, and even troubleshooted our circuit breaker panel to replace some improperly wired tandem breakers!

I would definitely recommend Bear Electric and Sam as a great electrician with plenty of experience, fair pricing, and just a plain friendly guy.

Sam did an amazing job with serving our Electrical Panel in preparation for installation of a Swim Spa.  When it came time for our Spa contractor to fulfill their end of the bargain for electrical hookup, they bounced and released their contracted $ amount for the work that wasnt done (which was WAY underbid).  Sam stepped in and did the entire job like a Champ!  It ended up being more than we had anticipated, but we are setup for a great future at this property because Sam took the time to do the job right.  

Hats off to you for doing an amazing job, we love the Spa!

Sam and his team are wonderful,
professional, efficient and very friendly.  You can tell they are well-versed in their field.  He installed recess lights, checked our circuit breakers and fixed pretty much every electrical issue we had and even those we didn't know existed! He did a relatively bug job in our house and although it ended up more than what we planned for (not his fault. We just added more and more things for him to do because he and his team were quick workers!), his fees are very reasonable for the quality of the services they provided.  I'm glad that we now have a reliable electrician in our arsenal!  Thank you Sam and team!

Left an inquiry for a quote, received a call back within a few minutes and they were here to install the same day. We had a 240 outlet and breaker installed for our e-tron. Amazing response time and fantastic customer service. They were super efficient, clean, and performed quality work. Sam knows exactly what he's doing and it shows. If you're looking for someone to install power for your EV this is the business to call. Thank you again!

I first used Bear Electric in May 2021 when we moved into our home.  We were very happy with the work and in my review of that work I said I would use them again. I just bought an electric car that could run off regular power but soon something went wrong and I lost most power in the garage.  I called Bear Electric and they were quick to respond and scheduled service for the next day (Saturday January 7, 2023).  Joe and Jonathan arrived on time, did some trouble shooting and made a couple suggestions.  I had them install a 14-50 adapter.  They were efficient with the work that needed to be done and completed the task in good time.  I will use them again.

Today marked the third time I have used Bear Electric, so I thought it was about time I leave a review. Today, I called Sam about a last-minute job (needed a ceiling fan installed), hoping to have it scheduled for tomorrow morning. Joseph and his apprentice arrived within one hour of my phone call. Joseph has been the tech on all three of our projects, and he is always polite, professional, and efficient. We can't thank Bear Electric, and specifically Joseph, enough.

Called Sam yesterday afternoon and he give me a quote for installing a 240v EV outlet.  This morning they arrive on time and finish the job around 30-40 min . They also did extra and help us look at other electrical stuff and recommend me to change out some old breaker that could fail soon. Very professional and price is very good as well. He will become our long term electrician from now on.

My elderly parents didn't have any power to one of their outlets and asked me to call an electrician to come look at it. I googled electricians in the area and picked Bear Electric.  I called them and Sam told me he could come over as soon as he was done with his current appt.  He just asked me to text him the address and he'd be over.  He was over in about 20 minutes, found the issue, and fixed it right then.  From phone call to payment was just under an hour.  I couldn't be more appreciative of Sam and I would highly recommend him and his company.

Sam and his associate came out this morning to install a nema 14-50 outlet in my garage.  Sam was quick to respond and schedule time/date.  Finished the job in less than an hour and explained everything.  Thank you Sam.

Sam was extremely responsive and professional.
He worked with me on my project which meant having to come out to my home multiple times.
Hi was extremely knowledgeable and provided clear details on what needed to be done and why.
He did a great job installing my 2 pier mount lights and floodlights. His dry wall guy was also great, and did a great job patching.
I highly recommend Bear Electric.

Sam is amazing!!
Gave me a quote and got the job done very quickly. He provided honest feedback and actually recommended not doing one of the lights i was considering adding (he would have gotten more money for it) but i loved the honesty and he was right. I would have hated that extra light i was going to get installed.

Fast and friendly service. I contacted them first thing this morning and they were done with my job by 10:00 am. Very knowledgeable and explained in detail what he would do. He even checked additional breakers and saved me from a sure headache. Thank you, I will surely recommend you to anyone who needs your service.

I called Bear Electric to get a quote for an electrical issue at my home. I had called two other businesses in the area, and one of them wasn't available until Monday, and the other one did not answer. I'm always leery about calling these types of businesses because they often try to haggle me, but Sam was very kind and helpful. He was in the area when I called,  and he arrived to check out the issue within 10 minutes.

He did a thorough check of the electric panel, tightened a few screws, and answered all of my questions. He did all of this free of charge! I appreciate him coming to check out what the problem is, and I will definitely call him back if ever we need electrical work done.

Joseph and junior did a great job. They diagnosed and repaired all my issues in my kitchen outlets and breakers. Replaced parts with good brands with good workmanship. They explained to me the steps they did and showed that it was working before they left. They even put the screws in the right position. I would recommend them to anybody. If I need electrical services again I would hire them. Very prompt, polite, efficient, and skilled.

Where do I even start! Gave them a call and coincidentally they were in the area and decided to swing by and give me a quick quote. Little did I know after agreeing they'd install the Tesla charger right then and there. Team of three guys hustling and making it happen while taking all the safety precautions. They have plenty of experience and knowledge. Afterwards they checked all the breakers and found a faulty one. Replaced it complimentary! Grade A, clean AF customer service!

Keep doing what you're doing!

repeat customer here. Sam was very fast to respond to my inquiry and was able to come the same day for install.  I had originally had a nema 14-50 with a 50 amp installed for my tesla  ago year ago. i upgraded to the tesla level 2 charger and 60 AMP.  Sam was very professional  and transparent he went through the process for the install . fair price and clean work. also he discovered i had  3 bad amp in my circuit breaker and was having issues in the past of tripped circuits and was able to fix everything with no issue.

overall did a excellent job and highly recommend him for an electrical needs and will be using him for any future work again

Our fire alarms were chirping despite replacing the batteries and checking the wiring. I have a newborn baby and dogs in the house, so this was not something we could allow to continue. The owner Samuel was responsive and respectful. I contacted him at 7 PM and he was ready to come that same night to take care of my alarms. Luckily my baby and dogs stayed with my sister so I didn't bother him to urgently come, but he was still very considerate and came at 7 AM the following morning. Not only did he inspect and repair the issue perfectly, but he also gave me some tips and fixes for the wiring and my circuit breaker. I greatly appreciated his friendliness and his knowledge. I felt like I received great value for the work done and timeliness of the project. Would highly recommend!

Requested a quote, they fit me in their Friday schedule a half hour after requested. I was desperate to get a fix in my newborns nursery room. My switch wasn't connected to any outlet and none of the outlets have power. They showed up, fixed my problem and we're done in just a few minutes. Also charged a very reasonable amount. I have attempted to get electricians out for weeks and I am sooo happy Bear electric came to my rescue! You won't be disappointed

Samuel came out and helped us confirm and fix a GFCI power tripping issue which turned out to be a faulty main fuse.

Samuel and his staff also helped us install a new set of dedicated 20Amp sockets (and fuse) into our garage through the back of the fuse panel.

He was very patient, helpful and explained to us clearly what needs to be done and why. We ended up taking up more time than he had anticipated, but he still did a very professional and clean looking fix for us.
They also cleaned up after themselves which is worth noting.

The total price was higher compared to what we were used to being charged, compared to getting something similar done by a handyman. However the speed at which he diagnosed the issue, fixed the issues and finished the repairs and upgrades was excellent and worth the price.
It is worth noting the handyman being compared to here did not fix the GFCI tripping issue, and didn't properly secure the socket's ground cable which came out when Samuel opened up the socket to take a look. Asking a handyman to fix a complex electrical issue ended up wasting our time and money. We should have asked Samuel/Bear electric instead from the start.

In summary:
Samuel did an fast and excellent job and was very professional.

Bear Electric came on a short notice (next day) and came on a Saturday. He was very professional. He repaired a lot of electrical problems in the garage that had wires everywhere and was a mess. He also fixed heating issues with electrical issues in the garage which would have been a fire hazard, and he made it SAFE so my house won't burn down. He replaced a switch in the bedroom which required him to take the ceiling fan down and reinstall it. He also replaced the smoke detector. He also replaced the fire extinguisher. My service was also done on the hottest day in July, and he was available right away. It was pricey, but everything was professional. What electrical service isn't pricey.

Pros: good, reliable, fast service
Cons: pricey, but it was A LOT Of work

Called to get a Nema 14-50 outlet installed and he arrived on the day scheduled. Very professional and great service. He installed the outlet and I asked him to check my circuit breaker in the backyard which runs the waterfall. He said it wasn't the circuit breaker but was the timer. He does not install those timers. After he was done with our original contract, he said he would check the main circuit breakers to see if they're working to capacity. He noticed two of the ones in the main panel not working properly. He replaced them and hood job!! That fixed my waterfall. Thank you for a great service.

Sam is awesome!!  He has helped my husband and me a few times fixing various electric issues in our house.  Rewiring, installed a new halo/canned light in my kitchen as well as ran wiring to connect my garbage disposal to a switch (I know it should have been already connected but it wasn't).  Now I don't have to get on my knees to plug in the disposal for a few seconds and then unplug it. I feel so much more civilized now.  He also fixed wiring for our front porch light, checked and fixed/replaced breakers, outlets and a few other things.

He's very professional and friendly and reasonably priced. Before he came in he asked if I would like him to put on shoe covers to protect our floors. So Considerate!!

We will be hiring him again when we're ready to move to inspect our new home.

Highly recommend!!

Never met a more reliable electrician than Bear Electric. He comes on time, and even gives courtesy calls before he ends up at your address.
Not only that, but he does perfect work and gives you options while he does it. I've used Bear Electric 4 times already and after every job was left satisfied. Now I only call Bear Electric everytime I need something.

Call these guys! There very professional and reasonable!

This has been the fastest, most efficient and competitively priced electrical installation service I've had since we moved here in Menifee. Sam responded within minutes, and scheduled one of his experienced technicians to install my EV 240-V charger for my Tesla.
Joseph showed up on time, was very friendly and offered practical advise on maximizing our EV charging.
The price was just within my budget. I am confident on the quality of their craftsmanship. I highly recommend them. This saved us hundreds of $$$! Thank you Sam and Joseph.

I was in need of an outlet for my new EV and the charger it came with. I had actually reached out to other electricians and never got a response. I came to Yelp and Bear Electric was one of the firsts that popped up. Sam responded immediately and setup an appointment for the next day. He gave me a fair price and actually found an issue with another breaker, which I also had him replace. They did quick work and everything is neat and tidy. My new Leaf is charging and now I won't have range anxiety. Will definitely be my go-to's for any electrical work I'll need in the future.

I was blown away by the awesome experience with Bear Electric. We just got a Tesla and the 240 wall outlet in our garage wasn't working. I called Bear Electric and they had someone at my home to check the problem within an hour.

Turns out there was a good reason the outlet wasn't working: the electrician (from a DIFFERENT company) who had helped install our solar panel system had completely disconnected it!

Joseph got us back up and running in about 30 minutes. He was incredibly knowledgeable, very kind, and very professional. We felt the price they charged was very fair and the quality of work was fantastic. We'll definitely be using Bear Electric in the future.

His team installed our EV charger and 12 recessed lights with new dimmer switches. They completed the job in a few hours and the quality of work was top notch. We got a few quotes prior to choosing Bear Electric, and we chose this company because we felt confident in the work of the team and you can just tell by meeting Sam that he is running an honest company and giving you fair market price quotes.

Called and spoke with Sam and he was able to set up an appointment the same week. Sam and his partner Joseph showed up on time and were prepared to get to work.

I had Sam and Joseph install two can lights in my bathroom, replace a ceiling fan in my kitchen and they also noticed a burnt out outlet that they ended up replacing.

They arrived at 07:30 and were done with everything by 10:00! Everything turned out great and I was impressed in how efficient Sam and Joseph were.

Sam and Joseph were both very respectful. One example was how Joseph asked permission to use our broom and dust pan to clean a small pile of dust that fell. I was glad to have hired such a clean and professional company.

I contacted Bear electric the morning of Friday, May 29th and by 11:00 am the same day everything I needed help with was done.  

One of the things that really impressed me about Bear Electric is that they come prepared to work.  I had give some very basic details about what I was attempting to do and and they had everything they needed on their truck to get the job done.  No trips to the hardware store to pick up missing parts.

When I contacted them it was to install a 220v plug for my air compressor.  It seemed like simple job since the panel was located on the opposite side of the wall from where the panel is located.  Unfortunately, the panel was full and needed to be reconfigured in order to accommodate the breaker that was needed.  That was going to cost a little more but it was totally understandable.  

While they were working I thought it would be nice to have 110v outlet installed in a closet to support wifi and network equipment.  Thanks to Covid working from home requires equipment that's a little more complicated and its nice to have it out of site.  

They jumped right on that extra work and pulled some CAT5 for me at the same time.  I thought that was cool since that wasn't part of the original scope of work.

All the work was done quickly and in quality manner.  These guys were awesome.  I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again and you shouldn't either.

Sam and his team are the electricians you want working for you. He and his team know what they are doing 100%. You can tell the amount of experience they have by the confidence in how they spoke about the task at hand. Sam was able to come out sooner than I expected and for that I am VERY GRATEFUL. You will not regret hiring Bear Electric. THEY ARE AWESOME! Thanks Sam

Our family room went dark and everything I tried didn't work in getting power back to the room. We have never used an electrician in our area, so I wasn't sure who to call.  I read through Yelp reviews to assess who I could contact. I chose 3 companies to call and received the best response from Bear Electric. I can now personally vouch as to why they have so many 5-star reviews-they are awesome!

I initially spoke to Sam, who was very helpful. He worked out a convenient appointment and quickly assessed what might be the issue.  Joseph and Josh were the technicians that came out and they couldn't have been nicer.
They followed COVID guidelines, they were thoughtful about movement of furniture to access the outlets they needed to work on, they explained everything that they were doing, they worked fast, efficiently and cleaned up to perfection. They were also very helpful in giving us options to improve the work that had been done by our builder.  

The cost for all of their hard work was very fair and guaranteed for a year.
I would not hesitate to call them again for any electrical job that we might need in the future.  Great job Bear Electric!

I needed to get a Nema 14/50 Plug installed in my garage for Level 2 Charging for my Audi RS E-Tron GT that is coming in a week. Almost all the electricians that I have talked to before told me that I will need a electrical panel upgrade or I will have to use a switch where I would have to pick between my downstairs AC or Car Charger. But Sam came within an hour of our chat and looked at my set up and said that I just needed to reorganize my breakers. Not only did he save me money by not having to replace/upgrade my electrical panel he also found a bad breaker that was sparking. His attention to detail was great and service is prompt! I would definitely inquire for his services again if anything else comes up!

I would definitely recommend Bear Electric, to everyone. I am so happy and impressed.  They're knowledgeable, efficient, complete quality work & are transparent from beginning to end.  No surprises & no overcharging. They replaced/repair all my non working outlets. I have an old home & was lost as to what the issue was. They're very humble & easy going.  So easy to talk to.  I can't recommend them enough, give them a try & you wont be disappointed. They're my #1 electrician company to go to now. So happy!!

I can't believe they actually answered the phone. The others I called I had to leave a message. They came over in a few minutes after finishing up another call and did the job immediately. They were very thorough with the details like height and level. They even made sure the fingerprints and dust were wiped off after they were hung. They cleaned up after themselves. Really nice people. They were worth every penny.

Sam was great to work with. He reached out quickly and we discussed my project for getting a 50A RV outlet installed. My project ended up changing quite a bit as I got some of the prices back. Eventually we hammered out the details and Sam and his employee got to work quickly. There were a few snags that Sam sorted out  - the outlet I provided was not high enough quality so he swapped in some better components. Lastly he took the time to replace an unused old style 30A outlet with a modern 20A which was greatly appreciated.

Found THE electrician I will only work with going forward. I needed a Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector installed. Reached out to Bear, talked to Sam on Thursday, set appointment for Saturday morning, Sam got here as scheduled and got it installed plus troubleshooting and fixing a couple light switches in the house, all in less than 2 hours work. Super clean job, professional and courteous, very personable and great communications too. Had his mask on the whole time so no health safety issues there too. Love the work but really everything you can expect from a trusty service provider. Hands down 100% satisfaction. Give him a call if you ever need electric work done. You will NOT regret it trust me. Thank you SAM!!!

Sam is quick to schedule for an estimate and also with reasonable price.  I got a couple of porch lights and a floodlight install by the garage. Very happy with the Installation and also he did warn me he could hear something from the breaker box just in the side of garage so he checked it and offer to service it at a discounted price...

3 weeks later, I got another electrical issue with our room not having any power... Probably related to my recent use of a portable AC... I checked the breakers and tried flipping them on and off hoping its just got tripped but no luck...  I called Sam again to check it out.  They came very quick, only about an hour.  They recently worked on the breaker box and thinking maybe something else is wrong in there.  It turns out it is not and something else is going on in the circuit.  Sam always tries to explain the best he can what is happening so you have some idea what is happening.  They are able to quote me for the troubleshooting and repair and they are done in about an hour!...

Then I got the same no power issue the next morning... I called Sam early on a Saturday and he was able to come by at noon.  Found out the issue is not exactly in the same place where it failed yesterday.  Its actually in a separate circuit that somehow affecting the circuit they fixed.  They fixed it really quickly and honored the warranty for the previous work.  Really appreciate these quick responses as we do need power during this very hot week!

Reasonable price with great service from amazing people... Try to at least get a quote from them and keep in mind they probably be ready to work at that time!

After taking the old one out we discovered a mess of wires that were dangerously put together. Sam came out quickly diagnosed the problem and had his crew fix it within 36hrs. I will definitely be calling them again when I need to.

We were having problems with our oven, but soon realized it was an electrical issue with the exterior panel.  Sam from Bear Electric came out and found that 3 of our breakers were not working at all.  The one for the oven had been installed poorly when we remodeled and had actually broken, causing the issue with the oven.  We don't even want to think about how badly that could have turned out for us.  Bear Electric returned my inquiry within 30 minutes.  Sam came out the very next day.  He was professional, personable and effecient.  We will be using Bear Electric for all our future electrical needs.  Thanks, Sam!

Sam and his partner did an amazing job this past weekend helping to install a floodlight camera on our house. Very impressed with his work, communication, and the way he handles business. The job was quoted, scheduled, assessed, and executed in no time!

He was upfront yet reasonable with the job's feasibility and pricing, even when it became a bit complicated after seeing the tricky layout of our home's design (plus our pickiness of the device's placement). In the end, he gave us exactly what we wanted and even hooked us up with a deal for dry wall patching via one of his contractor contacts (since the install required breaking through one of our bedroom walls).

Sam is a cool guy who knows his line of work well. Definitely would recommend him to others.

The past 4-5 years, been having a gfci circuit trip whenever it would rain or humidity was 80%+ outdoors. Wouldn't happen all the time, so DIYed over the years by replacing the outlets one at a time. How ver, the issue was still present for years, so decided to bite the bullet and hire an electrician.  Yelped and found Bear electric. Gotta say, these guys are definitely on top of their game. Very experienced and diagnosed and fixed the issue within 30min of arrival. Only masters of the trade would be so sure of the issue and provide a fix so quickly. Ended up testing the circuit and replacing two breakers in the main electrical panel which is far beyond the DIY home repair handyman that I tried to be. Quality work through and through, thanks!!!!

Very impressed with Sam & Bear electric.  Needed to get a 240v plug for my new Tesla Model Y.  Was thinking of getting a wall charger for $500-600 and Sam was really frank with me and recommended I save the $500 and do the NEMA 14-50 plug instead.  He took the time to discuss the difference in charge time and gave some feedback on issues with wall chargers that he has ran into.  He was also able to squeeze me in the next day which was amazing since I already have the car.  

When he got here with his team we added a few more things and he made sure to check all my breakers.  We ended up doing a few more things and his team was quick and clean.  Highly recommend Sam and his team for electrician work and we will be using him for work later down the work.

Bear Electric is our go to for any electrical needs. They respond quickly to phone calls.

Our home was built in 1985. So, after he fixed a short which would have burned down our home while we slept if the breaker didn't trip, Sam (owner & operator) suggested a revival of the outlets and switches. We are happy that we took his suggestion because they discovered additional faulty rewiring and loose connections. We feel safer, knowing that our wiring is good - no more shorts and potential fire hazards.

Sam and his crew are professional, punctual,  thorough ,and respectful of your property. We highly recommend Bear Electric.

We had a problem with electricity going out in two bedrooms and a bathroom--the remainder of house was fine.  Bear contacted us after we reached out, and came out timely (I think they knew what was wrong by the description of the problem) and immediately diagnosed an issue with the circuit breaker, and repaired it in about under 30 minutes. They gave a receipt, and told us to call them at anytime. We had a problem with our heater not working upstairs as well. When bear fixed the  circuit breaker, it also repaired the heater!  They also gave us tips.  Thank you Bear!

When you want a job as important as an electrical job done right with a safety first mentality, no one is better than Bear. The job they did on upgrading my power distribution box (circuit breaker panel) was done according to current code and they did an absolute beautiful job. Also, they installed my 220V car charging station and I just couldn't be happier with them.

They were great to work with. Install was quick and efficient. Joe communicated what he was doing every step of the way, which made me feel well informed. They did not try to up sell me by recommending to install a new panel, instead he reassured me that I had enough to do what needed to be done. They cleaned up after themselves and the project was spotless. I'm so happy to not have to worry about charging my new vehicle! Thanks Joe, Joshua and Sam for a job well done!!

In less than 24 hrs, I picked up my model 3, drove to Carlsbad to get the 24ft wall charger (since it's out of stock online and in oc), and messaged a bunch of yelp electricians to hook it up last minute. Sam responded quickly, and after a few back and forths, we landed on a fair price and he hooked it up.  Work was clean, quick, and solid.  Though I was quoted a slightly lower price from another electrician, his reputation on yelp and attentiveness was what sold me, and it was worth it.  

At the end of the day my experience was that he was a great balance of value, reputation, expertise and professionalism.  

Though it's been less than 24 hours since he installed the charger, I would highly recommend him!

Had them come out to install a Tesla charger in my garage.  Over all it was not a bad experience.  The guy who came out was friendly, and pleasant.   He did the work quickly, and the work was OK.  
I felt the price was a bit high.    I felt the workmanship was good, just not great.  Little things like stretching the flex conduit a bit tight,  the wire he used, should have been 2 black wires, and he used a black and white and put black tape on the pigtails of the white wire.  Changed my 100 amp breaker, to a 125 amp breaker, and kept my 100 amp breaker.  Just drew a line thru the names in the box, and wrote next to the old name.  
Overall not bad, I would recommend, just be aware of the price.  
Edit to my review:  although I believe my review was accurate.  I got a call from them concerning my review, and explained why he used the wire that he did, and he volunteered to change the wire if I wanted him to, along with my other issues.  I told him it was OK, that I wasn't really unhappy, just trying to put out an honest review, and he didn't need to make the corrections.  Because of his desire for a happy customer,  and willingness to to do what was needed to make a customer happy, I believe my rating should be moved from a four star to a five star.

I called Bear Electric for a quote to install a NEMA 14-50 240v outlet. Sam and his associate were leaving an appointment in the area and let me know they could stop by to give me and quote.  They were able to beat my other quote and get my outlet installed in less than an hour.  Just in time for my upcoming Tesla delivery. Sam was fast, friendly, and efficient.  They both wore mask, and were very polite, even cleaning up afterwards.  I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking to get a charging outlet installed.

They cleaned up after themselves and they were able to answer all my questions and explain everything very thoroughly. This type of service from a contractor seems to be getting rarer and rarer, and I would strongly recommend Bear electric to family and friends, and family.

After waking up to a half-powered home, We didn't expect Sam to be so responsive. By noon, our electric had been restored. His price was more than fair so we also had him replace some additional outlets, an old smoke detector, and replaced a breaker, and a box tune up. Their work comes with a year warranty and we will not hesitate to call them (or refer them) again!

I would also like to know that they were incredibly safe. Everyone wore masks correctly the whole time. Very COVID friendly!

Bear Electric did a great job for us!  They came out to give us an estimate on installing a 220v outlet for us to charge our Tesla.  The price was reasonable, they were on time, and they were able to install it right then and there.  While at our house, they recommended that we make some changes to our electrical panel (it's about 30 years old).  While they couldn't do that repair on the spot, they were able to get us on their schedule a couple of weeks later and once again were on time, professional, and great to deal with.  We'd definitely use them again!

Called this firm because I had an issue with an On/Off switch and a ceiling fan. The gentleman I spoke to informed me they weren't able to make it out today, which was fine, but elected to talk me through the issue over the phone.

I was able to work through the correction safely with his help and am grateful he took the time to talk me through the issue. I haven't experienced customer service such as that lately.

I'll definitely call these folks for any future electrical needs.  Thank you very much!

Sam and Joe made fast work of my list of items I needed done.  Unlike most electricians who leave you with sheetrock work that needs to be patched  , Sam has a sheetrock repair specialist that comes in after he finishes to patch everything.  Makes it so easy !  Sam mounted my special wall sconces in our foyer and they are perfectly even.  He made it look effortlessly! It hard to find an electrician who does beautiful finish work.  Sam is your guy!

I highly recommend Bear electric! After noticing that my fridge was out, I had to reach out in hopes they'd come out ASAP. Sam was very quick to respond and set up an appointment on the spot.

Upon arrival, I met Joseph and Sam who were very efficient and professional. Their customer service was great and really put me at ease while helping me with the electric issues in my home. After they resolved the initial problem, they were kind enough to check every single outlet in my home and resolve another issue in the breaker panel. They explained everything in detail and helped me understand what was going on as they were fixing everything.

They are now my go to electricians and will refer them to everyone! Thanks again, Bear!

Two months ago I requested this company, Bear Electric, to replace a small ceiling fan in our office in Morino valley. They charged me $145 for 50 minutes of work, which is high. The electrian who came by and replaced the fan, cut some wires on the fan so it can work on and off and stop working after 15 minutes. When I called them back, they said it is not their problem and they would charge me again to install a new fan.
But, when I called another electric company to come by and see why the fan is not working. They told that the electrian who installed the fan cut some wires in order to come back and recharge me again to install a new fan. The owner name is Sam and the electrian who installed was Joseph. I can no longer trust this company to do any electrical work on my property. And you should do the same.

They cleaned right after they finished everything and left everything the way they found it. They explained everything to me every step of the way. I could not have asked for better electricians. Thank you so much to Josh and Joseph. I highly recommend this company and will use them again in the future.

Sent several quotes for Charger installation and Bear Electric responded immediately and came within 30 minutes. Installed a NEMA 14-50 on a 50 AMP Breaker in less than 20 minutes. Prices were competitive. Overall, I am satisfied with the great and fast service! I highly recommend Bear Electric for your EV charging needs.

I am updating my original review of Bear Electric.  Sam is a superb  business owner and electrician...extremely honest and takes great pride in doing things right.  He contacted me directly  to find out how he could fix the problems I had with one of his young employees.  I'm stunned at the fantastic work he did at our home this afternoon.  He replaced 3 outside lights in our backyard and did a beautiful job.  He removed the 18-year-old caulking that was embedded into the stucco from around the edges of each old light fixture, using a steel brush attached to his drill.  Then he installed the new light fixtures and each light looks fantastic and the area around each light looks brand new!!!  He also did some work inside our home.  Sam replaced a damaged switch box at the base of our staircase (a major job) and was able to install a nice dimmer switch with very minor damage to the drywall (a small miracle in itself).  Then he caulked around the switch plate and voila...it looked like brand new!  We will never use anyone but Sam Ursu for all future electric work in and around our home!

Called Sam on Monday and he was able to schedule me the next day. Sam & Joe are very professional and down to earth guys. I originally called them to install a NEMA 14-50 outlet but they ended up helping me complete other items on my just moved-in to-do list. They did a great job on all the things I asked them to do with great conversation. I would definitely hire them again in the future for other projects around the house.

Thanks Sam & Joe!

Sam is terrific guy, one of the best, knowledgeable, kind and helpful. He saved a lot of trouble and money for my house. He really is taking care his customers and always responsive. I need EV charger, he made great recommendations, come up and install the dedicate 240v wire and correct outlet with smooth and beautiful work. If He found other electric problems, he will take care that for you too. He is reliable, smart, kind and professional.

I actually had to call them back only to find we had a wiring issue.  They fixed the issue with our Solar Coach lights (Dusk to Dawn) and gave us a discount on the service.  Now we feel safer with both lights on the driveway.  A follow up call and text make all the difference in the world.

I had the installation the same day and after looking at my electrical panel he recommended to have it tuned up. Thankfully I agreed and he found a faulty breaker and fixed it on the spot. Prices were great and the service was even better!! I will definitely use Bear Electric again.

I had a short problem on 2 of my rooms. Sam came out and checked out our problem. What I thought was a simple fix turned out to be a real big problem. Sam told me you have a big problem and you need to fix it asap. I like how he tells you what your problem is and doesn't beat around the bush. He gave me a quote to fix my problem and it turned out to be a very good deal I didn't even think twice about it. He fixed my problem very quickly. He keeps you informed the whole time. I'm super happy with the end result. I will definitely be calling him back on future projects. It's so hard to find good people especially when your a new homeowner. But with people like Sam they make this process much easier. If you need any electrical work done on your house Sam is the best person for the Job. Thank you so much Sam .

Needed some lights installed and most importantly a ceiling fan in the bed room were there is no existing light or fan etc..
I called Sam on a Tuesday and he was able to squeeze me in that Friday.

He called prior to arriving and once he arrived he briefly went over the plan where he would install the fan and where he was going to have to make holes etc. he also  scheduled the drywall guy to come in and flawlessly repair the drywall.
The fan install took less than 2 hrs start to finish and clean up. I would highly recommend Bear Electric they are punctual, polite, affordable fast and clean!

Super impressed with Samuel and Bear Electric. They were fast, friendly and got the job done on the first visit. We had a circuit breaker tripping all the time and making noise. They came out with-in 2 hours of me first contacting them and fixed the problem right away. I asked them for an additional estimate on a light install. They gave me a price and installed it immediately. Usually, I've had electricians come out, give me an estimate then schedule the work in a week or two. The fact that they did the job right away saved me both time and money. I'll definitely use them again and I certainly recommend them.

Our panel was a janky mess and he was able to upgrade and split our breakers.

Quick response, professional, and walks you through the issue so you know what you are getting into. Can recommend any day and will continue to use them in the future and recommend to family and friends.

I would just like to take a moment to recognize Samuel from Bear Electric.  I needed an outside outlet repaired and the outlet to my outdoor light repaired.  Samuel responded quickly, didn't charge a service fee, was friendly and did a quick and good job for a very appropriate price.  I was so relieved to have the work done as I had waited a few weeks for the work to be done reaching out to others.  I will use Bear Electric again and recommend them to anyone.  He also gave me a great reference for a HVAC company to install a mini split for me.  
Thx Again!

Now I know why Bear Electric received 5 stars from so many people, Sam's awesome!  I was in a panic when my electrical issue happened because I was going on vacation in two days and thought I'm not going to find an electrician on such short notice. I called yesterday for an appointment and 24 hours later he was here fixing the problem.
He knew exactly what the issue was. He was thorough and professional throughout the appointment. Sam answered all of my questions and explained in detail everything that had happened and what he was going to do to fix the problem. I'm so happy that Sam squeezed me in when he did.  
I'm very grateful to him for everything that he did to get my electrical issues back to being in working condition.
If you are looking for a great electrician, Sam's the only one you should call. You won't regret it!

After contacting Bear Electric and setting up the appointment, we ran into some issues with a water leak right above the wall where the installation was taking place, called Sam and told him the situation, he was very understandable and patient till the day the plumber and restoration company fix the problem. Sam came in and suggested to ad Amp to support the wall charger and avoid running into any issues. Price was very reasonable and they did the job CLEAN and super quick. I will definitely use their services in the future, and I recommend them 100%.

I am happy to highly recommend Bear Electric. First of all, Sam responded to my only question right away, and on not only a holiday weekend, but during the intense heat wave we were having!  He took my information,and had me send a photo to further clarify my needs so he could address my issue and come prepared. As I suspected, we needed an upgraded electrical panel. Sam and Joseph came out the next day, on a holiday, and did a great job. They were efficient and relatively fast considering what work it entailed. Stucco and paint repair to the wall around the panel was completed by Nicolas, who also did a great job. Everything looks and works great!  I am so happy to have my A/C working a full capacity now. Definitely will hire Bear Electric again.

Just got our Tesla Model 3 earlier this week and our 3rd Gen Charger arrived a couple days later. Contacted Sam via the messenger and got a call back within 10 minutes. I explained what we needed, Sam asked for our address and told me he'd be in my area and would be able to stop by and quote.

Sam called later that day and even gave me an accurate ETA. He arrived and went through the process, clearly explained it all and provided me a quote that was great. Not only that, he did the job on the spot.

I'm sure with the popularity of this car, he does these day in and day out, but what i appreciate is the attention to detail. Made sure the charger was level before securing, swept up and blew out any dust that was created and made sure the lines looked good going into the box and out. Even cleaned out the backside of the fuse panel cover. Super clean install.I  highly recommend Bear Electric. Thanks Sam!!

He took about 1.5 hours to rebuild my breaker to 125 amp, install the Tesla charger, and install a 20 amp line. His charge was fair compared to a $5000 quote I received from another electrician for a similar job.

Another electrician told us the job would take a few weeks  bear electric had it done in maybe 2 hours at most!!

Sam and Marvin of Bear Electric were courteous, reasonably priced, and professional. They installed some Ring floodlight cameras around our home, and managed to do so with very little drywall patching required. They also updated some of our lights with LEDs which were both brighter than our old incandescents, cooler, and much more energy efficient. They take pride in their work, and it's clear that they care about their customers.

I'll be calling them next time we need help with any electrical issues around the house, and I'd recommend them to my friends. Thanks guys!

Love Sam's work. First, Sam's always responds to my text messages. Usually, shoot him some pictures to give him an idea of the work i want done. From all the different electricians, he's prices are fairly close to the bottom, but he's work is closer to the top. Clean .. he did my charging station for my car, clean. He did some work on my driveway lights .. clean. Now he's pitting up some chandeliers in the dinning room. He will give you options and you can choose the way to go. Sam's my goto Electrician.

I own an office building in downtown Riverside.  I was notified by my HVAC maintenance contractor that the circuit breaker to an air conditioning unit was bad and needed replacing.  Knowing that the temperature in Riverside was rising I reached out to Bear Electric first thing this morning to replace the breaker.  Within minutes Samuel made contact.  By noon the breaker had been replaced and the air conditioning unit was back on line.  I highly recommend Bear Electric to handle your electrical needs.

A very positive experience with Bear Electric.  Initial contract with one of their electricians left me doubting their commitment to providing top notch customer service.  As a result of that interaction I declined their offer to fix my electrical problem.  However, when Sam the owner of the company showed up at my door I was impressed with professionalism and willingness to work with me to make it right and get my business.  Just the fact he took time to stop by my house showed me that he is concerned about providing top notch customer service and that he wants his customers to be happy and satisfied with his work.   After coming to an agreement he started work right away fixed my electrical problem.   I highly recommend Bear Electric to correct any electrical problem you might have.   Based on this experience Bear Electric deserves a 5 star rating.

I was researching electricians to have a level 2 NEMA 14-50 installed at my residence. I happened to come across Bear Electric and got in contact with Sam. From the get go,  Sam was friendly and direct and setup a appt for him to stop by. Sam was honest and gave me a very reasonable price and installed in very little time!  I also had him run a extra electrical outlet for my backyard to power the fountain and backyard lights. His work is flawless and I will definitely be using his services again.

Sam installed an EV charger in my garage last week. He was great in not only the quality of the work he has done but also his responsiveness and his attitude. He had to come back to replace the breaker without charging his time for the additional work which was put in the first place mainly due to my mistake. He has a good work ethic. I highly recommend him.

Sam and Joseph are the Dynamic Duo when it comes to taking care of all your Electrical needs.
Sam was able to accommodate me on Saturday after his normal working hours.  I original had wanted him do some minor Electrical installs, but after Joseph and him got started and I saw the excellence of their work and their professionalism, I got several other items taken care of.

If I could give them 10 Stars I would, best Electrical business in California!

The electrical outlet in my garage was dangerous and loose.  It blew out the fuse the other day.  Sam came secured it and due to how knowledgable he was I decided to also have him install lights in my garage.  I will definitely work with Sam on many house projects.  He is trustworthy, reasonably priced and reliable.  I will definitely recommend him to everyone I know.

Sam installed an EV charger in my garage last week. He was great in not only the quality of the work he has done but also his responsiveness and his attitude. He had to come back to replace the breaker without charging his time for the additional work which was put in the first place mainly due to my mistake. He has a good work ethic. I highly recommend him.

They answered the phone and showed up exactly when they said they would.  I love their business model of just giving the quote and doing the work right then and there if agreed.  Keeps the overhead down for them and for me.  I feel the price was fair and the work was good. Will use Bear Electric again and I have recommended them to others.  Always nice to find a well run contractor!

Needed my GFCI outdoor circuit looked at.  Sam called within mins of my inquiry on the website.  He was able to come over within the hour.  He saw that my current setup of GFCI circuits from the garage to my 2 outdoor outlets was not efficient.  He made recommendations to swap out the circuits and install a replacement gfci in to the garage to a 20amp.  I have a koi pond in the back so having the old gfci in the garage trip and shutting down my koi pond power outlet is not good.  Sam setup the circuits and outlets so that the gfci in the garage doesn't shutdown my koi pond eq.  Because of the extra load for koi pond he replacement the 15amp at the panel to a 20amp.  Lastly he checked all my modules at the panel and found one module to be intermittent with the power.  So had that replaced and hopefully that fixed the intermittent issues I have been having with my home network.  In any case,  i recommend Sam.  Cool guy, quick service and fast service

I think I found my new electrician!  He came and took a look at the job(without the charge just to check it out and give an estimate like the others I found before), and figured out how I can solve my issue without having to actually install anything new.  I just had to relocate the appliance.  It's refreshing to find an honest electrician that wouldn't try to talk me into a $1400 charge (real quote I got from another electrician for a similar job).  I appreciate it, and I will call this company for any electrical jobs I have in the future.  I highly recommend them.

Second time we've used Bear Electric. And want to say how great they are! I I wasn't home but my mother in law who's handicap, called and said she had a light that was out. I had called my kids to have them go down to her home to see what the issue was. The bulb was out but when they tried to change it, it shattered and the base was stuck really tight. They tried to remove it but no luck. They called me and I told them to give Bear a call since I didn't want them to electrocute themselves or damage the light. They called and they were over pretty quick. The broken bulb was stuck pretty good but he got it out. My daughter asked how much did they owe and he said it was such a small job, he was already nearby and being  the holidays, he didn't want to change my mother in law! Of course we gave him tip.
Again I highly recommend!

I called Sam about an urgent repair at my home. What I thought was a malfunctioning AC unit actually turned out to be a more serious problem. High voltage cables were not previously installed properly which caused a pretty nasty problem. Cables were fried and could have started a fire at my home. Sam was extremely responsive and made time to come out on a Saturday to take care of the repair. He not only took care of restoring the high voltage wires but he also had the parts to get my AC unit up and running again. On top of the stellar quality of work and communication his work cost me less than what I was being quoted by the AC company to come back out and do the repair. Sam has a very honest and sincere approach to his work. Great with communication and keeping his commitments. Sam will be my first call when I'm in need of any other electric work. Thanks Sam!!

These guys are seriously electrical magician that can totally upgrade all of your electrical need. Sam charges very reasonable price in comparison to others and he is very honest telling you things that you don't need not that he does not want the money but he cares about the customer. I'm definitely going to follow him for all future electrical need. Thank you again for all the amazing work.  I was really impressed with Sam's work and requested him to come back for a Tesla wall connect installation. Thank you Sam for the amazing job!

I contacted him on Saturday, he gave me a quote which was very reasonable. He was able to come out today, and he and his helper were in and out in less than an hour. One of the many things that I really appreciated was his consideration for my home. He asked if his shoes needed to be covered. (They did, and I provided the shoe covers, but he also said he had some in his work vehicle) and it was very thoughtful of him to ask. I would not hesitate to call him again if I have any future projects!

Bought a RING Floodlight a few months back and decided today was the day it was going up! I called a few companies to get some estimates and chose BEAR Electric. I chose BEAR since their price was lower than the other companies and the fact he was able to show up in an hour.

I started to clear an area in the garage and before I knew it, they were parking in front of my home. I met Sam, and his apprentice, and showed then what I needed done. They helped move some items and started right away.

Sam immediately noticed a problem with the outlet I  wanted to connect to and fixed it without hesitation or any extra fees. The price he quoted over the phone, was the price I paid.

They got the job done quick and for a fair price.  I was able to connect the RING Floodlight without issue.

I will definitely keep their card handy for any electrical work need in the future. Great job guys!

I agree completely with those who say that Bear Electric (Sam and his team)
are the only electricians they will work with going forward. My residential project, both indoor and outdoor lighting installation, was pretty straight-forward. It was easy to set up an appointment with Sam; Joseph then provided a very reasonable price estimate, making several suggestions about how the work might best be completed. He and his partner worked efficiently and expertly, completing the job within their estimated time frame. The finished project, including dry wall remediation provided by their sub-contractor, exceeds expectation! You will not regret hiring Bear Electric for any job small or large. They are very highly recommended!

I will definitely be reaching out to them again in the future if we ever need any more work.

Within 10 minutes of arrival he diagnosed the main issue, quoted a fair price and set to work. While here I asked if he had time for some newly discovered issues and his response was, I'm here for you until we're done!

I couldn't be more pleased with the quality and professionalism. He's an awesome example of good customer oriented business owner. I highly recommend him!

Bear electric did a complete lighting rewire in my home. It is a really old home so I wanted to do this to be safe. I could only afford half the house and Sam gave a reasonable price. I feel much better now knowing there is new wiring and it's done right. Sam came back after the job and gave tips that will help when I have the rest of the house done. So I'm very happy and appreciate the extra efforts Sam made to get this done faster than other electro and could due to busy schedules.

I'm not trying to pull all business to Joseph, but I got to say he is an amazing electrician and was a bit too good. The business couldn't be better for this line of work. I was worried about power being shut off and hours of work at a high price, but I had an installation of a 240V unit in under 30 minutes with no power being shut off for this type of project. Joseph had brilliant expert knowledge and I couldn't be happier with the company. Thanks for representing your company the way you did! Remember I WILL be calling you back in a week for those breaker upgrades!

We needed an electrical outlet relocated and a wall switch to work a ceiling fan.  Called and spoke with Sam and within the hour, Bear Electric was taking care of business.  Due to the work that was done, there were a couple of holes in the walls that needed to be fixed.  We thought we would have to call around to find someone to take care of it.  Sam was able to have the drywall done the next day.   The drywall was completed just as efficiently as the electrical repairs.  Bear Electric provides excellent customer service and they are very professional!  We would definitely use Bear Electric for our electrical needs in the future, as well as recommend their services.

Bear Electric is a company I highly recommend.  Electrical problems often happen unexpectedly, but Sam and Joseph always are able to see me the same day!  

When the BestBuy Geek Squad obviously had no idea on how to do the wiring for my mounted TV, I called Bear Electric.  They had all the wires hidden behind the wall, and fixed a socket to handle the wires.  

When I needed an electrical line for my new BBQ island, Bear Electric took care of the trench, an upgraded socket to handle the load, and noticed that our pool light switches needed replacing, and did it for free!  
Sam and Joseph are not only quality electricians, but quality people.

I highly recommend Bear Electric to anyone who needs electrical service at their home or business!

I called them on April 8th. Sam answered the phone and notified me that he had a cancellation and could come the next day. I was expecting him to look around, give me a quote, and schedule a day they could come do the work. He came the next day with his apprentice, and fixed all my problems then and there! He fixed the broken ceiling fan in my son's bedroom, lowered the ceiling fan in my vaulted living room, fixed the outlet in my back yard and installed two more exterior outlets! They even cleaned out my breaker box after checking to make sure a tripped breaker wasn't the cause of the nonfunctional ceiling fan! They were both very professional and polite. Their prices are reasonable and the work is of the highest quality. I will definitely be calling them again if I ever have any electrical issues that need to be addressed.

My husband's new car triggered the circuit breaker in the house, shutting down half our home and creating uncertainty about safety.  Bear responded immediately, accommodated my work schedule for a time to meet and were extremely professional.  They were able to solve the issue and also address the additional safety issues that they found while fixing within a 2 hour window.  I highly recommend this team!

Last night had two breakers pop & would not reset so today I went online to find someone to do the repair.
Called the number & spoke to Sam the electrician who answered. I explained my situation & the fact that I'm disabled & unable to do the repair myself. He told me that he was in my area & would be right over. He showed up made the repair in less than an hour. Did a guestamate in my head of what I thought the repair should be & he was a few dollars under that.
Appreciate the quick response & your willingness to squeeze me into what is probably an already crowed schedule. Thanks!

Excellent response time! I looked up the yelp reviews before choosing who I would have as my electrician after sending my initial request for a quote they responded within 10 minutes and had me on the line. I felt highly valued and prioritized they were able to come out to my house on the same day and walked me through the Findings on the electrical problem with my house. He was very thorough and even guided me on how I needed to address the city so that they would come out promptly As electrical issue was related to the city power. I thought it was pretty awesome that there was no fee for coming out and assessing the issue. What made me feel even more valued as a customer was I got a personal phone call at the end of my evening to find out how the situation was handled by the city he made me feel like I was the only customer that mattered! I plan on keeping Bear electric on my point of contacts for future use! The company displayed excellent customer service, integrity, and trustworthiness!

In an effort to clean up the devices/cables in my very unruly structured media enclosure, I drilled a large hole through a stud and, like a jacka**, hit a couple of Romex wires feeding a GFCI circuit that powers the outlets in my upstairs bathrooms. Not wanting to wait until Monday (this was on a Saturday) to get those outlets working again (and slightly nervous about having exposed conductors in my walls, even though the breaker was off), I sent out a quote request to several vendors on Yelp. I am so happy Sam and Bear Electric responded. He came within a matter of hours. Once he arrived, he masked up, slipped some booties over his shoes, and went upstairs to assess the damage. After just a few seconds of admiring my handiwork, he knew how he was going to remedy the situation. He explained clearly what he was going to do and got right to work (ended up installing a new outlet just above where I nicked the wire, and fed the original outlet from the new one), and when he was done, he was eager to let me look over his repair and test everything out to ensure it all worked properly. The repair was more expensive than I hoped it would be, but that was my fault, not Sam's. And besides, his promptness, courteousness, and professionalism justified the cost. I'll be contacting Sam for all my future electric needs.

We had a issue with a few lights in the bedrooms not turning on. Called Bear Electric and they came out to trouble shoot. They figured out the issue in no time and even had the replacement breakers in the truck. They were able to replace and get the lights in the room back on. Would hire again for any issues in the future. Thank You!

With the covid stay at home orders, decided to work on our kitchen and paint. Since there was nothing in the kitchen, decided to change out outlets. But somehow knocked out the power in the kitchen. But since it was Easter weekend had to call an electrician since where I had my fridge plugged in, knocked out that outlet. Worth the professionalism. Discovered one of my outlet wasn't even grounded from when the house was built. Totally repaired and paid extra to have a few breakers replaced. Thank you for coming out, especially on a holiday.

Sam was great! Had an on going electrical issue with an entire circuit in the the home. Made the call and Sam was on site the same day. I've had other electricians look at the issue but they didn't make time for the trouble shooting. Sam promised a resolution and delivered. I appreciate the dedication to solving the problem and would use them again.

We were experiencing lights and outlets going off sporadically in a couple rooms in our house. I called Bear Electric to come out and troubleshoot the issue. They spent a good amount of time at my house but were never able to identify the problem. I called another electrician the following day and the other electrician was able to identify and fix the problem in less time Bear spent trying to troubleshoot. Also, Bear recommended we replace our outlets because they were old. He didn't guarantee it would fix the issue (it didn't) but they needed to be replaced nonetheless. What really irritated me was they left screws and small pieces of wire everywhere including both my kids rooms. They clearly saw I had a crawling baby and leaving small material like that on the ground could have been choking hazard had I not noticed it.

He took a look, gave me a quote, which was EXTREMELY reasonable, and got it done within 10-15 minutes! He installed a NEMA 14/50. And he did a FANTASTIC job! I am extremely and utterly pleased with his work. I HIGHLY recommend using him for any electrical need!

It took maybe 20 - 30 minutes for installation. He was very helpful and friendly. I would recommend Bear Electric. They are responsive and on time for appointments.

Our electric went out in portions of our older model mobile home, and in checking on Yelp I came across Bear Electric with good reviews and ratings, so I called them.  Sam answered and said he would be out ASAP.  Upon checking out what the problem was, he told us what we were up against, that we have aluminum wiring throughout the house (not good, but that's how they used to build them).  Sam gave us a price, we agreed and he and his co-worker started work immediately.  They were at our home working for 4-1/2 hours and got it working again!  They even installed the Ring on our porch for us without our asking!  We still have some decisions to make about the aluminum wiring throughout the house.  Sam and his co-worker gave us courteous, professional, quick and efficient service.  I definitely recommend Bear Electric to anyone in need of an electrician.  We are so grateful!
Thank you Bear Electric!!!

We needed an electrician on very short notice, so I used Yelp's feature to send a bid out and allow multiple vendors to respond. Not only was Bear the first to respond, it couldn't have been more than 10 minutes, but I received consistent, clear communication throughout the entire process. The person they sent out, Joe, showed up exactly on time, performed the tasks quickly and efficiently, and kept me informed each step of the way. We ended up spending much more than I had hoped we would, but Joe took the time to explain every part of the process, showed me every part that he touched, removed, or replaced, and gave me the time to look up on my own the things he was saying just to make sure that I was confident with the steps he was taking. At the end, while I spent more money than we wanted I actually feel like Bear electric kept us from having a more expensive repair down the road. I am now a huge fan and will only use them going forward.

This much deserved review has taken long enough that I had Sam come out a 2nd time. Resonably priced, professional, timely and honest. All qualities you want from anyone servicing your home.  I was going on vacation and needed my Ring system hard wired and installed pronto.  Even tho he was booked till the end of the day he squeezed me in. Most places hear the urgency and pad their prices and/or offer you another day. Not saying that it's horrible way to do business BUT this is where picking Bear is the clear choice for customer satisfaction. His price estimate was much less than the others I spoke with and there were no surprises at the end.

The next time I called was because of lost power in one area of my house. He came over in a few hours and replaced the switch at the breaker box and once again saves the day.  I say try calling around to satisfy your peace of mind that you did your homework but know you can't lose here.

For me, the two things I consider when hiring someone for any work in our home are reviews and availability. When we noticed all the outlets and light switches weren't working in and around our garage I saw Bear Electric and was quickly shown why they have so many amazing reviews. I requested a quote on a Friday night and Sam called me that night and told me he would be out the next morning. So far, so good. Then when Sam and his apprentice arrived it was the beginning of an amazing experience since not only did Sam quickly fix the problem but also did an electrical tune up of sorts since we hadn't messed with the fuse box or electrical system at all since we bought our house three and a half years ago. This meant changing out a bunch of stuff that had simply been neglected and, in many cases, original to the house being built in 2004 that needed to be changed/fixed/updated before causing further issues down the line. I can't speak for the price but I can only assume it was fair and since it was a mini emergency (our chest freezer in the garage wasn't working since the outlet was busted) we needed someone the next day and I wasn't going to penny pinch. Overall, I highly recommend Sam and Bear Electric and will be calling them for any future electrical needs!

Bear Electric installed my Nema 14-50 outlet in my garage for my car charger and the process from start to finish was quick and seamless.  They came out to provide an estimate and after seeing that it would be a simple job, offered to install it right then.  I was happily surprised by that since I had the time and did not have to worry about scheduling for another day.  They were done in 30 minutes and did quality work.  I will use Bear Electric again in the future.  Thank you!

Great electrician! Our home had major electrical issues in the kitchen!!! Sam came out on the same day and fixed several issues that were going on. It is important to always have a license electrician come out and fix your electrical problem, small or big.

I've worked with many electricians in the past and Sam is second to none! He was able to change 220v to 110v on several locations, to include finding some lines that were not working properly in the wall. He also completed this in a timely and professional manner. I will continue to use him for any future work and definitely recommend him! Above and beyond my expectations which are extremely high. Thanks again!

I'm so thankful I came across Bear Electric. Not only was Sam (the owner) professional and fast in replying to me, he was also very friendly and knowledgeable in everything. He explained everything to me as he was working and was very fast at identifying the issue at hand. Sam had everything he needed in his truck and dealt with it right then and there. If I have any future electrical issues I for SURE am going to Bear Electric and no where else. I would recommend this company to everyone!! Thanks Sam!!

Bear Electric is fantastic. I called them yesterday with a laundry list of random issues/upgrades. They just left and all of it is already complete. They were prompt and professional. The work is spectacular. They do all of the little things to make sure the job is done correctly and looks great. The prices were reasonable.

They fixed and reran poor wiring and connections in my attic and garage, added junction boxes, installed new lights in the garage and on the outside of the house and they put in a new light above a sewing workstation for my wife. All of it came out perfectly.

In addition to doing great work quickly at a reasonable price Sam is honest. They let me know a few things I was unsure of were fine the way they were.

I couldn't have asked for a better experience or better work. I highly recommend Bear Electric and I will call again next time I need any electrical work done.

One of my recessed lights in the kitchen would not turn on, even with the bulbs replaced. Using an electric tester pen, I was not seeing any power being fed to the Recessed Light can. I called Bear Electric to help diagnose and repair the problem.

After troubleshooting, it turned out that the Recessed Light fixture was wired uniquely by the builder and was working fine -  we discovered an electric switch under the kitchen sink that was controlling the recessed light in question. (a very odd design choice by the home builder)

Bear electric also checked out the Fluorescent light fixture in my washer/dryer room but told me that the Ballast was working fine, and that it did not need to be replaced. Instead of upselling me on an unnecessary ballast replacement, Sam provided a recommendation that saved me money.

I trust them to do a fair and professional job, and would call on them again for future electric work.

thank you,

Sam, the owner of Bear has done two jobs at my home. The first was a 200 amp panel upgrade, and the second was fixing a problem I created with some remodeling. Sam is professional and treated my house as if he was working on his own. He even made a cover for my tv service box that was missing out of my old panel that looks original. What started me on getting a new panel was flickering lights which I believed was from a 30 year old 100 amp panel. Sam found that the problem was a lose connection on the city side. He fixed it and told me my problem was fixed without pressuring me into a new panel. I went ahead and had Sam install the new 200 amp panel. Great clean work and couldn't be happier with it. On his second trip he arrived on short notice and gave me peace of mind and didn't even charge me. He said it was because I guessed what his last name means;).

Sam is a skilled electrician who charges fair prices. I was quoted a lot more by others, but what I care about more than price is knowing my family and I are safe by quality work.

I highly recommend Bear electric.  They were professional in completing all of our electrical work in our home as well as my in-laws home.

Sam is an awesome electrician, he was able to install the nema 14-50 in no time. He did such a good job, I asked him to do it again when we moved to a different house. Definitely recommend him if you need a Tesla charger installed in your house.

Awesome people to work with! Sam and his team were great, quick, and responsive. I had to change my appointment last minute because of an emergency and Sam didn't mind moving the appointment time to the next morning. Sam assessed my panel situation for adding a Tesla Wall Charger and said he could do it right then and there and that it was totally doable in 30 mins. I had a few outrageous quotes from other electricians, but Sam gave me no fishy business, if anyone catches my drift. Anyways, highly recommend this electrician and would definitely inquire again for any electrical needs that I might have. Thanks again Sam!

I made an appointment with Sam several days in advance without confirming the appointment a day before. He called when he said he would and appeared promptly at my house the expected time for the appointment.

Sam and Jose did a wonderful job of fixing and installing just what was needed and gave me an indication of the cost for the job prior to doing it. They whipped out the work in under 2 hours and I was pleased with everything they accomplished.

The price was more than fair for the work completed. Sam always had suggestions to do a job better if needed. I will not call anyone else anymore for any electric work. Bear Electric has my undivided attention from now on.

I had an urgent need to install two ceiling fans for an upcoming appraisal appointment I have (tomorrow morning to be exact). Sam was at my house within an hour of me submitting my yelp request. Once he got here, we quickly realized it was MUCH MORE than just two ceiling fan installs. Sam troubleshot EACH of my 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, rewired the poorly installed receptacles and switches, AND installed the two ceiling fans that I originally asked him to install. Not only was he able to do all of this in short notice and on a Sunday, he charged me a very fair price. Will definitely be working with him again.

We found Bear Electric through Yelp. The reviews are spot on. They were quick to respond and their prices were fair. We called to inquire about wiring for a new ceiling light fixture and they happened to be in the area and were able to come and do the job an hour later. The owner was professional and knowledgeable and explained the process to us from start to finish. Wonderful experience overall!

I called Sam to request having a new dining room light installed and relocated from where the old was. While he was in the kitchen he convinced me that I should upgrade my old kitchen spotlights to the LED type. So glad I did, as he was right, they are cooler and brighter. I was very pleased with Sam and his apprentice Marvin. Oh I should also add, I called Sam shortly after they left because I didn't really like the placement of new dining room light, decided it needed to be moved over a bit. Without any hesitation, he came back and redid without asking for additional charges.
We most certainly will call Bear Electric for future electrical work.

It only took him 30 minutes to do the job and it was a clean job. I will have Sam come to my new location and re-install the cameras. I am recommending Sam and his assistant. They are very reliable, honest, and friendly.

I put out a request for quote from Bear Electric and heard back from Sam within minutes.  He gave me a fair quote to install an entirely new circuit breaker board, a security light, and a new outlet in the garage.  

He arrived on time, and was professional, courteous, and respectful.  He did high quality work, and checked after each job was done to make sure that everything was functioning properly.  It is clear that he takes pride in a job well done.  He also noticed that I had an outlet in my garage that was not up to code (original to my 1980 house) and was able to replace that, which I am grateful for.

My experience in working with him and his assistant Marvin was so good that he will be my go-to electrician in the future.  I highly recommend Sam and Bear Electric!

So, I waited over a week to write this review. The lights in our unit kept flickering on and off in the kitchen and bathroom area. The light flickering was so random and annoying, it was becoming a problem. My mom contacted Bear Electric. They came out on a Saturday. Sam was able to figure out the issue by replacing the breaker switch. He also replaced a couple of fire alarms in our unit. Ever since he replaced the breaker switch, the light flickering problem has stopped. Highly recommend Bear Electric if you need anything done! We will definitely contact them again if we have any future electrical issues.

For several days we had not been able to get any power to outlets in the master bedroom or bathroom. When I went to the circuit breaker, nothing was tripped. Sam came over about two hours after I contacted him by phone. He quickly identified the source of the problem which was a loose neutral wire related to back stab wiring technique. He tested also other outlets and examined the circuit breaker outside.  Sam found evidence of dangerous over heating in other outlets and also found a faulty breaker in the circuit box. He replaced about 8 outlets and the faulty breaker.

Sam is a nice man who responded immediately on the phone and provided quality service at a very fair price. He is highly recommended.

Howdy Folks I have used Bear Electric in the past and Sam was very efficient and good with communication on the task at hand. I recommended him to friends and I will not hesitate to use him again. His pricing is on the high side of fair. With that being said you get what you pay for.(A+ work) When working with electricity you're better off to get a guy like Sam with knowledge and helpful input for your project or problem.

Thank you very much to Sam for his assistance with  resolving issues with our 30 year old house! The spare freezer in the garage shared the same line with other outlets. When another household item such as a blow dryer or iron was plugged in, it would trip the breaker. Sam installed a dedicated line to the freezer and updated the GFCI outlet same day. The entire visit (assessment and installation) took only about 1 hour. Prompt, accurate and fair priced. It is quite difficult to find contractors who you can trust in the house. Sam is the owner and he comes out himself. Local from Riverside so you will supporting a local small business. Good guy. Bookmark this one. Would use again!

Sam was in fact excellent, as all of the other Yelp reviews have stated! I live quite far from the house where the outlets and breaker needed to be fixed, and Sam was able to work with me over the phone. Of course, his work was solid, he explained exactly what was wrong and how he fixed it, and his price was very reasonable. I would definitely recommend!

Sam from Bear Electric is a no-nonsense, upright honest guy. It didn't take much time to realize that he's dedicated to doing a good job while being reasonable. I called him after coming across his info on Yelp, and within a couple hours, he came to my house earlier than expected. He installed a NEMA 14-50 for me. Without any fuss and without a long sales tactic, we agreed on what he will do and the price. After getting the plug installed, he went through and recommended to switch one of my existing breaker to avoid an electrical short. He also went through and cleaned up all my connections to make sure everything is properly tightened and all the cables are properly connected.

I truly appreciate Sam's easy going attitude and straightforward, honest business practices. I will not hesitate to call him back for future electrical work in my home. I highly recommend calling Sam for your electrical needs. You won't regret it!

Thanks, Sam! You're the best!

Had four light fixtures and three ceiling fans installed by David at a property in Riverside today. He was very nice and friendly and did a great job installing all of the fans and fixtures without making a mess or damaging the new paint. Overall outstanding service and much appreciated. This was also a time-sensitive installation and Sam, the owner, did his best to setup the appointment as soon as he could (thankfully the very next morning, after reaching out to him late at night). I highly recommend David, Sam, and Bear Electric for any electrical needs you may have. Thank you David and Sam!

Bear Electric is absolutely amazing!! I reached out to Sam wanting to put up a light fixture I got for my dining room. Sam was super efficient about getting me in the next day, as I was wanting it up before having company over that following weekend.
While Sam was here I requested a quote on these pendant lights I wanted up above my kitchen island. I've been hesitant to put up these lights because I knew I would have to remove 3 of my recessed lights and have the patches repaired from where the recessed lights once were.
Not only did Sam give me a reasonable price he was able to do it right then and there!
As if that wasn't already amazing enough he then referred me to another vendor that was able to come the following day to do the patch work!
My experience with Sam & Bear Electric was so outstanding, there is no question about it, I will absolutely use his services again to have future work done in my home!

During my initial consultation with Sam, he was very professional and honest.  He did not try to sell me anything and gave me his honest opinion.  He spent over 2 hours with me going over things and was extremely patient the entire time and answered all the questions he had.  Did not feel rushed at all!
Sam came out the next day (on time!), and we had ALOT of work for him to do.  He finished all the work in one day - he worked for 13 hours straight without any breaks to make sure all the work got done!!  We even asked him to do some extra things and he got those done too.  
Sam was thorough, reliable and efficient.  And he has a great attitude!  He's honest and his pricing is very competitive/reasonable.

Sam was a complete blessing, 5 stars ALL THE WAY. I was looking for an electrician to help me complete my outdoor projects and I turned to Yelp to find someone trustworthy - boy did Yelp deliver!!! Sam came out quickly to give me a quote and let me know what it would take to get the project done. He scheduled me in 2 days later due to the fact that my project was going to take 8+ hours. He arrived the day off and completed the work cleanly and promptly and I love it! 2 days later, an unrelated electrical glitch occurred inside my home and after a text, Sam showed up, fixed it and had me convinced that he will be my electrician for years to come. Do yourself a favor, call Bear Electric and ask for Sam... you wont be disappointed, I know I wasn't. I have added photos of my project as well. :)

Samual is the man! He installed my Tesla wall charger a few weeks ago but my car was being painted by Tesla for a small scratch on the trunk. So we couldn't test the wall charger while he was here. Be careful opening the trunk on a Y it hit our garage door. It opens way too high. But, back to Samual the man. Not only was he super professional and did a great job installing the charger. He picked up the phone to help me troubleshoot an issue weeks later that turned out to be unrelated to his install. It was an amp setting set low by default within Tesla's software. I could end here and you would say Sam is the man. But wait!!! He was assisting me from the hospital!!! The man is a super hard worker! He and his wife just had a baby! They were at the hospital and he helped walk me through the fix! Don't think twice about who your guy is for a Tesla Wall charger call Sam! This guy is amazing! Congrats again on the baby Sam!

I was starting to think there was some secret code word I had to say to an electrician to get them to call me back or show up for scheduled appointments. Thankfully I found Bear Electric and from the beginning it was all smooth sailing. Called Sam and he answered immediately. Told him we wanted 5-6 recessed lights on the first floor of our two story home. He gave me an estimate instantly and then called a few hours later to schedule an install the following Saturday. Saturday arrives and electrician Hugo showed up on time and absolutely nailed the job. He explained to me the best layout for the lights and had the entire job done with a dimmer switch in under an hour and half. He covered our furniture and cleaned the entire work area. Sam also set us up with an appointment to have the drywall patched. I programmed Bear Electric in my contacts because I will definitely be having them come back for future jobs. Thank you!

The first company I called was top rated- but they said they wouldn't be able to come out for another 15 days- this, needless to say, was not an option. I then called Bear and I spoke with Sam. He told me that was able to come out later that day. So I began wondering, is it a good sign or a bad sign when a contractor is available that soon?
Well, I can say without hesitation that, in this case, with Sam, it was a very good sign. Very prompt, very thoughtful and very thorough. He should me what the problem was, he told me how he would fix it and then he delivered what he promised. Quick, easy and worth the price.
Very happy.

Samuel is a great guy. He responded promptly to my inquiry and came to replace my pool breaker the very next day. He is very honest and explained that replacement was not necessary but did it anyway as we insisted since our pool pump was not turning on. He even came back the same day to change additional breakers since my pool guy recommended it. Although the problem ended up being our pool pump, I appreciate his honesty in trying to save us money. He will definitely be our go to electrician from now on. We are so glad we found him on yelp

Sam came out with a helper and installed my new ring camera and flood light. He also fixed a small problem with my bathroom light. Good price, fast work, and now I'm worry free. Great service serving the city of Riverside! Personally recommend and will use his services again.

We needed outlets placed in the patio and a light mounted in the front of the house. They were timely and professional. He recommended changing the type of lights in our pantry and porch. They come on immediately and are brighter than the previous ones. I definitely would recommend them to friends and family.

Called last week to see about having a chandelier installed. Sam came out the same day and gave me a free quote. After shopping around, he ended up giving me the best price. I called him later that day and he was able to schedule me first thing the next morning. He was in and out quickly and cleaned up after himself. He even vacuumed my floors. I was very happy with the whole experience.

A little over a year ago I hired a company to  renovate my kitchen.  I started having electrical problems such as flickering lights & breakers tripping!  I contacted Bear Electric out of Riverside California. Sam came out and did a thorough inspection of the kitchen and found  Numerous problems caused by improper electrical installations!  He explained that they cut corners & it was very dangerous! Sam &
Crew were able to repair all areas of concern. I  have since hired Bear Electic to complete other major electrical upgrades and would hire them in the future!!

Bear electric came out to solve an on going electrical issue we were having in our home. After months of not being able to solve it we relented to hiring a professional. We are so glad we did. Not only were they on time but they were professional throughout the job and reasonably priced. They patiently explained all aspects of what needed to be done and quickly made all repairs necessary. They went above and beyond to do the job right. I will hire Bear Electric again wIthout hesitation.

I am so happy I found Sam at Bear Electric.  He responded quickly to my request. He was very prompt arriving to provide an estimate. His price was very fair and he did the work right then while he was on site.  I even had a couple of other things I wanted him to look at and he was able to fix those as well.  If you need an electrician, I highly recommend Bear Electric. You will not be disappointed.

We were getting new flooring installed and found live wires sitting on the concrete floor.  After calling around Sam said he would try and make it by that day if he was able to. 2 hours later he was at my house, gave us a price and fixed the mess the previous homeowner had done.  Sam was professional, quick, fair, knowledgeable.  I will recommend him to anyone..

I called Bear Electric looking for help to diagnose an electrical issue when our stove's outlet was not functioning. Samuel's response to my call was really quick, he set up to stop by the same day, and called while en route. Totally impressed by this customer service.

Samuel's service was thorough and he explained each step of his work. He immediately determined two breakers were nonfunctional and took the additional step to ensure that our sub panel breaker was the correct amp rating. We have an older home and know that the previous owner skimped on a few things so we appreciate Samuel's expertise to leave us in better shape than before.

Fair pricing, quick, friendly and expert service. We're going to be sure to call Bear Electric and Samuel for our next problem or project.

We've been looking to get an electrical home inspection done for quite some time but finally got around to getting quotes this week. Another company had come out and did an assessment that resulted in a few thousand dollars worth of upgrades. Sam had responded to my message and called me same day. We talked about what I was looking for and about some of the recommendations made by the other company. Sam came out with Jose this morning, did a complete assessment of the home (the other company did not) and did some repairs that saved us big bucks. He explained his process to me as he was making the repairs and finished everything within an hour. He could have easily upsold me some of the services/products the other company recommended but he didn't, so his honesty was something I REALLY appreciated. Already recommended him to my in-laws and will be giving him a call for our tune-ups!

Sam literally just left my house and I could not write this review fast enough. Almost all of the electrical wasn't working on the 2nd floor and he was the only electrician that was able to stop by on a Friday afternoon. He was very easy to contact and communicate with. After a couple of issues, he fixed a couple of outlets for a good price. He will definitely work with you regarding the price and he is very prompt and professional. I will definitely contact him for any future issues.

Sam with Bear Electric did an amazing job once again !!!  Called Sam and he was able to come out the same day and install a 15-40 Nema 240V outlet for the TESLA and also install a couple of USB wall outlets.  
He installed everything and cleaned whatever little things that fell on the ground.  

Been very happy with Sam's service, friendliness and professionalism.

Sam is the absolute best!  Last Friday we had an electrical issue that caused all of the outlets in our home to stop working. I was referred to Bear Electric so I gave them a call. Sam came out a few hours later and discovered that our entire breaker panel was damaged beyond repair. Sam rearranged his schedule so that he could install a new panel the next day. Both he and his apprentice Jose, worked for over 5 hrs last Saturday making sure all of our electrical issues were handled. He even put in an extra outside outlet which made my husband very happy!  The price he charged us was more than reasonable and we cant thank him enough.

Sam is a great man!  Knowledgeable and good to his words.  He came over promptly after we set up an appointment for my NEMA 14-50 outlet installation, and assessed the situation.  Since my house was built in 2018, the builder already had the wires pretty much in it's place.  Because of that, Sam charged me less than what he originally quoted me over the phone, and finished the job in about 30 mins.  Not only is Sam, and his partner professional, but they are fun, easy, to work with.  I always believed you get to know someone more than anything from seeing their work ethic, or by working with them.  Would definitely recommend them for anyone who's looking for an electrician.  Thanks Sam, it was a pleasure meeting you and your partner.

Had a need for an electrician to repair some outlets that had gone bad and found Bear Electric. Now, I figured (hoped) I could get him out in a few days or even the following week. Not Sam from Bear Electric. He responded back in minutes and was at my house within a half-hour. What he probably thought was going to be a 20 minute job turned into 2 hours as he diagnosed and repaired some faulty electrical work on an outside outlet that was actually pretty dangerous. Two hot lines of 120V going into the same 110v outlet. Wow! Anyway, if you are in need of a good electrician that is professional, honest and really knows his stuff, call Bear Electric. They'll definitely be my go to guys from now on. Thanks Sam!

Awesome... rare to find someone that will fit you in the same day.  The team did a great job assessing the situation and getting it taken care of so quickly.  I just bit into one of the vintage homes in downtown Redlands in California. And absolutely gorgeous home that has a bit of circuit breaker issues that I'm going to have to address. But it was wonderful that he was able to get me up and working again the same day, without pushing more than I need right at this time down my throat. He gave me options and helped me to decide how to go forward. Can't wait to see him next week to finish the rest of the circuit breaker's. A very nice team that I felt comfortable having in my home. Thank you guys!

Just an update for Bear Electric.  The owner did call me during the holidays to apologize and offered to refund me some of my money back.  I appreciated that, and declined his offer.  It was my fault for not questioning his rates after he didn't do the work he said he had to.  I'm adding one star since he did apologize, but consumers still need to be careful with them not doing what they agreed to, but still charging like they did do the whole job.

I had blinking lights and a few that were out for over a year. Honestly, I thought it would be too expensive, so I just procrastinated. One day while looking through the reviews I saw that Bear had great ratings, so I figured why not just get an estimate. Sam came out, asked a few questions, he knew what the problem was right away, and it was fixed within minutes. He also fixed a few other problems and later installed recessed lights all at a very fair price. Sam is very professional, honest, and he really knows his stuff. He will give you a price on different options before he starts.  I look forward to having Sam come back and install a few other electrical items (upgrades) in the future. I highly recommend Bear Electric, you won't be disappointed.

Quick & painless: my new Lennar home had issues in the laundry room popping the outlet with every wash (shoddy install-very frustrating-Lennar electrician said I'd have to live with the circuit popping ever time I did laundry). Friday afternoon call to Sam and he knew exactly how to fix AND squeezed me in same day. Once he arrived he got to work and the issue was solved in less than 5 minutes (even put in a new face plate for me).  

This dude is the real deal and his promptness, knowledge, and expertise have earned him a 5 star review. Thank you for your service! I now know who to call for future issues.

I needed emergency service after turning on our microwave caused sparks to fly on another kitchen outlet on a Saturday morning. I called Bear Electric after seeing the good reviews and they arrived at my house about 20 minutes after I called. They diligently checked all of my outlets and breakers to try to diagnose the problem. After troubleshooting everything, they found the problem and made sure to verify everything else on the circuit was in working order.

They were clean, quick, thorough, and communicated the issues really well. I was very satisfied with their work.

So we discovered an electrical problem as soon as moving into our home. I checked out many companies on Yelp and decided to give Bear Electric a try. I spoke to someone on my first call and was told a tech would be coming by in a hour or so. Two techs showed up, very professional and courteous, asked again where the problem was and got to work. It didn't take them very long to find the issue and give us an estimate. To be honest I would not know if the price was fair since this was my first experience with an electrical issue, but I was happy with the work and the quick response time. I will definitely call Bear Electric again.

No upselling and no fee increases because of the holiday either. I would highly recommend Sam at Bear Electric and will use him in the future.

The breaker for my washer/dryer needed replacement.  Within an hour of calling, Sam and his colleague was at my door.  They recommended a once through of the entire panel, and identified another breaker that was fluctuating and needed replacement .  Within 15minutes, I was able to start my laundry.  FYI, There is a 3% charge for credit card transactions but they also take Zelle/Check.

I used Yelp as it was intended: find a company that has nothing but 5 star reviews, believe unconditionally that they are all deserved, and then send a message to the contractors requesting an estimate. Sam got back in touch with me same day, arranged to come out tomorrow morning, then called me this afternoon to ask if I wanted somebody out to do the estimate today. I have no life to speak of, so I accepted the offer happily, and Sam and his apprentice (5-Star Marvin as he is known in Yelp circles, now) arrived a little later.

The work that prompted me to look for an electrician in the first place is basically an issue of a broken light mount (the gardener climbed up a palm tree and perhaps thought it would be amusing to drop a massive palm frond on the spotlight). Sam took a picture, and he has promised to let me know if he finds the appropriate fix for the broken ground mount. Meanwhile, I've had four replacement wall outlets (with USB, for convenient electrical charging, etc.) lying around forever, since after installing the first one by myself, I realized I hate doing any sort of work, and electrical was no exception. The per outlet quote I got was very reasonable by any standards, and since getting somebody else to estimate such nonsense is beneath my limited dignity, I agreed immediately to have Bear Electric perform that work. I was unable to get my bathroom light fixture replaced, since I did not have a replacement bathroom light fixture. Seemed fair. The dead GFI outlet on the front porch was a piece of cake, but unfortunately the outdoor fountain on that circuit seems to have a dead pump, and who the hell needs a fountain burbling all day outside the office window, anyway? Sam pointed out an incorrect breaker (no, don't ask me what the correct one was) and I agreed with him that he should replace it with the correct kind. So he did.

If you've powered through this review to this point I will reward you by saying that Sam and Marvin are both extremely personable, capable electrical contractors who will be the first ones I call for my next set of insurmountably unpleasant DIY projects, or in the event of some actual pernicious electrical problem. Sam was even so kind as to pass along a tip from his father-in-law regarding ways to chase gophers out of our front lawn. If I happen to run across any recently deceased rattlesnakes, I will certainly put the method to the test.

My husband and I tried to replace our kitchen fans with bright new lights. Our house is older, and the wiring was more complicated than we had anticipated. I searched Yelp and found Bear, a local company. The reviews are accurate! Sam worked with our older wiring, installing the lights, and fixed two other outlets. He was professional, personable, and a very hard worker. It is a good feeling to find someone who is dependable, reliable, and fair. Great company!

After receiving three quotes for some work we wanted done in our house, we chose Bear Electric.   In talking to Sam I got the sense that he was reasonable, knowledgeable, and would work with me to assure the best service at a reasonable price.   Sam and his assistant Marvin (AKA Rico) arrived promptly and were extremely friendly and professional.  We wanted to move and add some lighting, and we were very particular about how we wanted it to work, and Sam accommodated our requests.  He was able to get to the root of an electrical issue we had, and had the part to fix it on hand.   Overall it was a great experience, and I highly recommend Bear Electric!

We were very satisfied with Sam's work. He came out on the same day we called him & was able to fix the problem we were having on the same day as well.  Two of our recessed lights in the bedroom were not working even though we had already replaced the bulbs, he was able to figure it out & fix them within 10 minutes. His price was very reasonable.  We definitely recommend Bear Electric & will call him for any future electrical issues.

We needed an electrician to install a security cam flood light and found Bear Electric on Yelp. I'm so glad I went with them. Sam and Marvin were very friendly, professional and got the job done quickly. Sam was also very thorough with explaining what needs to be done. While they were there I explained how I needed electric in my garage and how I hated my light fixtures in my kitchen. Sam suggested some things and they were able to install three junction boxes and LED lights in my garage. He was also able to install recessed LED lighting in my kitchen all in the same day! We were so pleased with the work done that my husband had Sam come out again and do much needed work at his job. If you are looking for an electrician, Bear Electric are the guys to call. Highly recommend!

Absolutely stellar service!  Called for their opinion on some wiring randomly placed in the wall found by my tile guy working on demolition of shower.  They came within 20 minutes, as they were in the area.  It took 10 seconds to give an opinion so I got a quote on some electric work we will need to hv done eventually. Pricing was pretty good on that!  I didn't hv an electrician on speed dial but I'm glad I found them.... I hv one now!  Thank you so much, Sam!

So is my first time using Yelp I need a quote for installing some ceiling fans. Called a  few companies out for a quote ,everybody was charging me a ridiculous amount of money to install two ceiling fans. My last quote was Bear electric. They didn't even hesitate they're willing to start the job right then and there. He gave me a reasonable quote I was happy with it and they   proceeded with the job. They did an amazing job patched all my holes I was very happy with them, very clean, very knowledgeable, and I'm very happy to find an electrician I can trust. Thank you Sam with  Bear electric.

This is a long overdue review... Sam and his apprentice changed my old-school flourescent kitchen lights to dome LEDs and the job was excellent. Sam is very detailed and very knowledgeable! He even looked at my breaker and discovered that things weren't properly done... fixed that as well and glad to know we're safe from potential fire risk. Reasonable quote and excellent service! Will definitely use again for future projects!

Had some outlets go bad in a house we just moved into. Sent a request for quote and service and the response from Sam was extremely quick. He came out on Sunday which was also Father's day, which was nice since most people would be off, and checked out the outlets in my loft. While looking at the breaker panel he also pointed out wiring that was overloading the breakers and replaced them. I was impressed by the professionalism and speed of the repair and replacement of everything and happy to know that everything that we had concerns about were fixed.  He discovered a live neutral and also how each outlet was not wired correctly (which were all repwlced and fixed). He even pointed out the poor job the electricians and/or handyman did for the builders when the house was built which I agreed on since I've also seen the correct way the wires should be wired and attached to each outlet. He definitely knows his stuff and I was impressed with the work he did and how he did it.
At the end of the day, reasonable prices for quality work and knowledge of everything electrical. Never skip out on quality work to save an extra dollar. Quality work and peace of mind is much more important IMHO. Do it right the first time so you don't have to ever do it again.
I will definitely be requesting additional services in the future for future home improvements. Thank you for your time and effort work Sam!

While preparing a rental property for sale I found that the renter of 17 years had done some electrical modifications over the years. I called Bear Electric because of the Yelp ratings. Sam and his assistant, Joseph, arrived exactly when they said he would. They were knowledgeable and fixed all of our issues. I love that both Joseph and Sam were conscientious about not making a mess or damaging my property. Sam's prices were fair. I would definitely hire him again. In fact, out of the 7 different companies I hired to get this house on the market (house cleaners, window cleaners, painters, etc), Sam was without a doubt the best. He was prompt, clean, fair priced, knowledgeable, quick, honest, professional, and friendly.

A simple project...check a sensor for dawn to dusk light for my flag.  Sam was there the same day I called, replaced sensor, and it looked like things worked just fine.  But that night, no light! boo-hoo  I called in the following morning, and he was out again.  He checked everything, found a minor issue which he fixed! 2 visits in a 24-hour period completed in a friendly, no hassle manner.  His good service is really EXCELLENT service.  Definitely using him again.  It is a pleasure to see someone with a commitment to quality customer service.  Thanks so much, Sam.

I called Bear Electric for my Mom who is 72 and would have never called or have been able to find someone to fix her lights on her own. I was reluctant at first since it wasn't my own house that needed the repairs, but after talking to Sam over the phone I felt confident sending them to my Mom's house. My Mom's lights in her kitchen were old florescent bulbs and they eventually just stopped working and wouldn't go on anymore. Sam called and even FaceTimed me to show me work he had done to put in canister lighting. He quoted me over the phone and stuck to that price even when it meant doing the demo of my Mom's old light cavity and hauling the debris away. He installed 6 canister lights in a couple of hours and even referred someone to come do the drywall repair, who came that day to finish the job. I highly recommend Bear Electric for their fair priced, trustworthy work. It is good to know you can still find contractors you can trust.

I posted a description on yelp to get quotes from a bunch of different places to come check out a simple problem with the power going out in one of my rooms but before I had time to get any of them to come out someone from Bear Electric took the time to call me, listen to the specifics of my problem, walk me through some easy ways that I might be able to fix it and had the issue resolved and my power working on my own in no time! I was shocked to say the least. I tried all the basic things I knew and assumed that once I couldn't figure it out from there it would end up costing me a bit for what was most likely a simple, and easily fixable problem. Instead they gave me the help I needed, gained my trust, and will be getting my business if I ever need it in the future! Would highly recommend them to anyone needing any electrician help.

He was very reasonable, quick and dedicated to completing the job and left nothing undone even after all the troubleshooting he did. I'll definitely using him again when I have an issue!

Sam was incredible!! My husband and I just bought a house and we had an electrical emergency over the weekend. I called Sam and he was at my house in 15 minutes! He pointed out what a terrible job the previous owners had done with some electrical work (it's a flipped house). He had to rewire a whole section because it was a fire hazard. He was there for hours, but he fixed the problem and made our house safe. I am so thankful we found him! I highly recommend him for any electrical work. We will definitely be calling him back. He's so professional and good at his job; worth every penny!

Sam from Bear Electric is the go to guy if you're looking for electrical services at a reasonable price. We hired Sam and his crew to replace all of our electrical outlets, wall switches and outside lighting fixtures. Our home is 30 plus years old and many of our old wall switches and plug-in receptacles were starting to wear out. Some were so worn out that things like our vacuum cleaner cord kept coming loose while we were using it. We contacted Sam and he came out the very next day. He did an overall safety inspection of our home and he agreed that it was time to replace our old electrical switches. After the work was done, I have to say that the folks at Bear Electric provided great customer service. Sam was prompt and communicated in a professional manner. He is licensed, bonded and insured. So it's without reservation that I highly recommend Bear Electric for any of your electrical needs. Just ask for Sam...you won't be sorry!

We needed some pendants installed and additional outlets and dimmers added, so I searched on yelp and found Bear Electric.  Sam answered right away and gave me a fair estimate.  I agreed on the price, and he happened to be able to come out right away.  Talk about quick service!  I'm very pleased with the results and love my pendants!  Later I wanted my pendant height adjusted and he came out right away and accommodated my request at no extra charge.  Sam is safe and careful with his work, and he works with a good attitude.  I was worried if the bigger fixture would be safe to install, and he custom built/added what it needed to be extra safe and secure.  Sam definitely cares if you are happy with your results.  I also have CFL cans that I need changed into incandescent lights with dimmers, since my eyes can't tolerate CFL/LED lights for very long, and they can trigger a migraine for me.  Sam recommended a type of can that will fit and won't cost me a fortune to change out.  He is coming this week to install.  If I need something again, I know I can trust Sam to do the work.

Sam is heaven sent. My parents are retired, on a fixed income, and speak only a little bit of English. I live over 1 hour away so when half their house lost power, I offered to drive home and meet with Sam and my folks. He insisted there was no need to make the trip. He was right. Sam showed up on time, replaced the breaker, said the the panel may have to be replaced down the line, but said if it was his parents he'd recommend them to wait until it was absolutely necessary. A few days later they lost power and Sam squeezed them in on a busy Saturday. He went through the whole panel again, this time walking them into each room so that they knew which breaker was to what, found a burnt outlet that he replaced for them complimentary, then patiently explained that Loma Linda has several power outage a year (he had another client in Loma Linda with the same problem). I agree with ALL the other yelpers, if I could I'd give him 10 stars for being so kind and patient with my parents.

If you are looking for an electrician, this is the right person for you. I have called multiple companies and a majority of them never returned my phone call. Some of them would tell me they would come out and take a look at the ongoing issue I was having, but would never show up. I called Sam and told him what was going on and he fit me into his schedule on short notice. He was super friendly and helpful and was able to diagnose the problem. Highly recommend Bear Electric!

Thank you Yelp for helping me to find Sam! I recently bought a ceiling fan and I tried to install it myself but was skeptical about messing with the wires. After searching and messaging different electricians throughout the day through Yelp, I found Sam and he immediately reponded that night...on a Sunday nonetheless!! He said he would come by early in the morning after he finished with another nearby client. He called me in the morning when he was in the area and told me he could see me right away before his other client. He showed up 10 mins later and it took him about 15 to 20 mins to install the fan. He was very courteous and charged me a fair amount. I will definitely hit him up again for any future electrical needs. Thank you again Sam!!

Simply put, Sam is an absolute life saver. It's a holiday weekend, and I get a call from my tenet. They have no power, and the circuit breaker has gone out. I called Bear Electric, and they they worked HARD to get the equipment needed to get the family their power back on. Sam was very professional, hard working, and provided excellent service. Than you!

This was my second time using Bear Electric. Sam is so nice, patient and a true professional. He was concerned about giving me exactly what I wanted done. The price was reasonable, he was on time and they cleaned up after the job. I am so glad I found this company.

I came home from a weekend away and one of my circuit breakers kept tripping. Great, I thought.  So I went on Yelp and sent out an inquiry to a few electricians.  I won't name any names but some were quoting me $130 to just come and look at it. Yeah....$130 to just stop by.   Well Sam got back to me and was very prompt in setting up a morning appointment for the next day.  True to his word he called me 30 minutes before the agreed upon time to let me know he was on his way and arrived on time. Once there he very carefully and methodically diagnosed the problem. He had to go through all my outlets and switches to find the culprit. Did I forget to tell you the house is 65 years old? Apparently electrical wiring back then had much more... lax standards.  After some time he found the culprit, more like culprits. One outlet which was so mickey moused that it literally was 60% burned from within. God knows how it never caught on fire. Lucky us.  Sam changed out a number of outlets and installed them the correct way up to today's standards.  He also had to fix some Mickey Mouse wiring job previous electricians had done and rectified the situation.  To top it all off he went through my circuit breaker box and did some preventive maintenance on it pro bono.  Competitive rates and utmost professional demeanor.  Sam is a man who exemplifies pride in your work.   Five stars.
Definitely call them if you need any electrical work done.

When my lights went out my wife found Sam here on Yelp and thank God he was able to come help us out. He took me to my electrical panel and explained a few things to me. Not only were some of my breakers bad, due to age of house, but also explained to me how my wiring were very loose and that this was a possible fire hazard. Needless to say he fixed all the loose wiring in my panel, changed out a few breakers and outlets AND also installed my Ring floodlight cam! Sam is a straightforward honest man who I appreciate very much coming out during his busy schedule. I highly recommend Sam and his team at Bear Electric!

Sam is amazing and very funny. We needed an electrician and had no idea where to start looking. I told my husband to check Yelp because you can read real honest reviews. Thank goodness he chose Bear Electric. Sam has replaced some lights in our kitchen along with electrical sockets. He is very professional and has a great attitude. We will most definitely without a doubt call him in the future.

Thank you Sam

Sam knows what he is doing
He did electric car charger install for me.
I have not used it though yet.
He was quick.
Came on time finished job in flash of light.
Charged 450 for installing NEMA 14-50 charger. It took him 30 minutes.
Excellent work but felt he charged little more than average.

Called this company for pricing.  When the representative arrived, he gave me a quote of $840 to install an electrical outlet for a chandelier inside my closet.  When I told him it was toooo high, he began to reduce the price, doing this several times.  I told him the price was still too high. He left.  I received a call saying he was going to be back in a few minutes as he had to stop by Home Depot.  Since he  didn't identified himself and since I had been making appointments with other electricians, I agree to meet him.  To my surprise, when I opened the door, it was him!  I asked him why he was back and he told me that I had agreed for him to do the job for $550.00.  I apologized and told him that I had not agreed to anything and that his pricing was still too high.  He got frustrated and left.

I had Sam come out and install a NEMA 14-50 plug for car charging in my garage. He showed up the same day from when I called him. He was able to reconfigure my electric panel instead of installing a sub panel since my breaker box was already full. He was professional and friendly. Work done was top notch. I would recommend to anyone who needs a licensed electrician who will do the job right and for a good price.

Awesome Trustworthy service. I was so worried about our electrical issue in our home. Sam put our worries at ease. He was honest about the issue and did not try to sell us anything more than what was needed. I thought it was gonna be like a mechanic service....no offense to anyone but when they see a woman walk in they start making us services needed to rack up that bill. So glad I found Bear Electric and greatful for the reviews. It helped me find a great electrician. I will most definitely call him first for any electrical needs.

I have been trying to get some electric work done in my home for over a week. I left messages for handymen listed on yelp and the Press Enterprise, left messages for six different ones not one call back! Just went on yelp requested quotes from four different electricians, heard back thru yelp messages from all four. This was on Thursday 2/22/18. Sam called me same afternoon came to check out work requested too have 3 recessed led lights installed and two electrical outlet installed. Sam was very professional gave me a great quote, Sam came out next day working within my schedule. Sam completed the job in a timely manner, as well as correcting a couple of electrical violations in attic from previous handyman work, at no charge. I would call Bear Electric again for any other electrical work. /I am very pleased with quality of job done and the very fast response time

Sam is extremely knowledgeable and an all around good dude. Work is top notch and price is honest. I couldn't believe how fast he was able to fix everything. I'm so happy with the work done and knowing my electric needs have been handled. As a new resident to the Corona area there is nobody else I will use in the future.

We initially called Bear Electric for installation of an outdoor security light above the garage and spoke to Sam.  While here, we asked Sam's input re replacing a kitchen fluorescent light box.  He suggested removing the old fixture, building a new frame and installing recessed LED lights on a dimmer switch.  We accepted his proposal and couldn't be more pleased.  We originally had several pieces of cardboard above the old fixture to keep light contained in  the kitchen - that was replaced with drywall making a much better solid top.  Sam's drywall installer did a beautiful finishing job - we think they are perfectionist problem solvers.  Their quality of work is impeccable, they're reasonable, and we highly recommend them.  And that initial work re the security light above the garage door - perfect!

I called early today and spoke with Sam to schedule an appointment. Sam scheduled me for the following day as his day was booked. I was happy to received a call around noon letting me know that he would be able to make it today if I needed him to so that our electrical issue would be resolved today. Sam arrived and worked diligently. He was quickly able to determine and repair the cause of our electrical issue after running a few tests. Sam's professionalism, expert knowledge as an electrician and work ethic is the reasons I am giving him Five stars. I would recommend to Family and friends. Thank you Sam!!!

I contacted Bear Electric late at night to get a quote on installing a NEMA 14-50 outlet and he responded immediately. Sam and his apprentice showed up next day to scope out my panel. The first estimate recommended a panel upgrade but Sam said we could work with the existing panel. This saved both time and money.  When I asked how soon he could complete the install he said right now.  I was pleasantly surprised since I was expecting him to say the following week. He quickly got the outlet set up and cleaned everything up. I highly recommend Bear Electric and will seek their services in the future.

Sam and his assistant Jose just made my life and home a peaceful place. We are now in a happy place. Sam was the first of a few others on Yelp electricians to call me back. I have yet to hear from the others. I literally called Sam at 11:54am and it's 3:31 now and I now have the new electrical outlet for my new kitchen range. He got to my house within an hour of my call and I didn't expect him to deliver same day service within a 3 hour time frame. If it wasn't for Sam I wouldn't have been able to have my new Samsung stove installed today that I ordered from Best Buy. We have gone without a home cooked meal for two months and now our kitchen remodel is nearing an end. My husband and I sat close by and watched Sam do the work so I can account for the fact that he is efficient knowledgeable, safe, swift and professional. He is also very likeable. I strongly suggest Bear electrical!

Finally, an electrician who really knows his stuff. Sam was here exactly at the promised time, very professional, kept me informed as to what type of work he was performing, and the cost was reasonable.  He repaired a four gang junction box that was poorly wired when the building was constructed.  He repaired and replaced parts as necessary.
I recommend him and will use his services again if needed.

We had a challenge for him, but he was up for the task and ended up getting all our electric outlets working in living room and kitchen within a few hours.

We needed the smoke detectors in our house replaced and also wanted a few other electrical jobs completed, including checking our doorbell wiring and replacing an outdoor motion light. Bear Electric was highly recommended by a friend and I now completely understand why. From the day I called Sam for an estimate to a few days later when he came to do the work, I appreciated his patience and communication. He and his assistant took the time to give detailed, clear explanations of their work and they answered all of our questions. I will definitely call Bear Electric for all future electrical repairs due to their professionalism and efficiency.

Once again thank you yelp so much for helping me find by far the best electrician !! Let me start why I called( Bear Electric) I  have a friend that's a electrician so I recently bought a hot tub so I had him do all the work 240 volt panel run all the new wire from my panel in the front of the house to the new panel in the rear of the house. So to my blind eye I thought everything was good to go. what do I know he's the electrician everything looks good. He got the hot tub running got in there enjoying the bubbles and then with in a few days the lights in the house started flickering  mostly the upstairs I thought maybe I need new lights they're starting to go bad maybe I need to change them out ? But no that wasn't it they started turning on and off and then they eventually  they never came back on and my Son was devastated!! his Internet was off and he couldn't play Fortnite anymore his world was over lol !! So my wife called Bear electric (Sam) was Able to set up in appointment the following day early in the morning came out troubleshooted the problem he double checked everything my friend had done he fixed the problem I would highly recommend Sam to come out and do your job the first time !! Good price very polite and very honest!! I'm definitely going to call him for future electrical needs. Once again thanks Sam !!

I had a light switch that I wanted to change from a dimmer to a regular switch - Sunday night I decided I would undertake this challenge. Minutes later, half of my house didn't have power. I called Sam (Bear Electric) on a Sunday night and he got back to me within minutes. Sam came over the next day to diagnose and fix my problem. Not only did he solve my power woes, he also cleaned up and repaired some sloppy work that the previous workers had done, and we had a great talk during the whole ordeal. I would highly recommend Bear Electric to anyone who needs A+ electric work done.

Once I said I'd like to schedule an appointment he contacted me and set up a time that worked around my work schedule, even after I said I could take time off to be home earlier. He fixed the problem in ten minutes and his prices were comparable to other quotes I had gotten online. All in all, I would contact these guys again for any electrical work I need done in the future.

I was worried about getting ripped off but I have to say it was an absolute pleasure having Sam come fix the problem. Sam is a complete professional who treats you how you would want to be treated. He diagnosed the problem and gave me different options to choose from. He let me decide what would be the best option for me and fixed it right away. If I ever have another electrical problem I would never think of calling anyone else. Thanks Sam!

Sam provides outstanding service. He came to do install GCFI outlets in my house. He did such a great job, I called him again to install fans/lights and later a ring security system. He is highly professional. He brings an apprentice with him to assists him and performs high-quality work. Equally important is that he and his crew clean up after the work very well. After the electrical work, he has someone else coming for the drywall work and he was also fantastic. So not only does Sam a great job but all his people who he brings in also do outstanding work. I highly recommend Sam for any electrical work. Don't go with a general purpose handy-man for electrical work. Hire a professional like Sam. When Sam does his work, you don't need to stand there and supervise him. If you want to learn what he is doing, then watch him but not to monitor if he is wasting time because he does not work hourly. He gives you a quote and does the job as fast as he can. So don't feel bad if you paid a few hundred dollars and he completed the job very fast, in two or three hours. He does his work fast and there is no comparison between him and a handy-man who may take two days to do the same job unreliably.

Requested a quote late at night and got a reply within seconds. We talked through the phone and he guided me on how to install my light dimmer at no charge and told me right away that my home was not compatible to install my smart light dimmer.  Sam knows how to do business unlike the other 3 electricians i contacted. The other electrician didn't listen to my situation, but instead asked for my address and to schedule an appointment as soon as possible. Sam is really friendly and is not trying to rip off customers who know nothing about electrical wiring.

Sam has now come to our 76-year-old house twice and saved it from literally burning to the ground. We are in the process of upgrading old electrical panels and wires, and he's been so helpful and understanding about our budgetary constraints. I can't recommend Sam enough for his professional demeanor, great work ethic, sense of humor, and overall caring nature. Not to mention he also does great work!  So much so that we will be hiring him to do additional major upgrades in the near future. Hopefully he'll bring his adorable baby girl with him next time.

They arrived fast and early. Fixed the problem and added a few extras. Also the price was more than fair. Highly recommended if you need electrical work in the Riverside Area.

Responded quickly. Came out to install plug in for my Tesla for a good price and was very quick. They were there no longer than 20 minutes. Very nice and professional. Definitely recommend and we will use them again for other jobs.

Sam came out on an emergency call last Sunday to help us out of a situation another electrician caused. While the other guy had no clue what he had done, Sam came in and quickly found that he had caused 2 shorts. Not only that, he had left frayed wires in my wall, and I am beyond thankful that Sam found those. He fixed the issues, restored power to my bedroom, and set my mind at ease. Although the cost was a little more than I expected to spend, I understand that coming out on an emergency call on a Sunday afternoon is going to be expensive.  We are just so thankful that he was able to help us on such short notice. I will be calling him in the future for other projects.

They were polite, gave excellent service, fixed my issue perfectly and gave me a great competitive price. They even fixed a couple of issues with my circuit panel at no charge. I can't recommend them enough.

I called Bear Electric, the website stated I would get a call back within 10 minutes.  I received the call in less then 5 minutes. Spoke with Sam about my issues and he was able to to meet me the same day. Arrived on time and not only was he able to give  the estimate but was able to complete the job the same day.  ( I thought he would give me an estimate and schedule the work to be completed at a later date). His professionalism and honesty was refreshing.  Work was completed in a timely manner. The cost was less then quotes from other companies. Bear Electric is my go to for all future electrical issues.

Sam is a great and honest professional. We need more people like him who you can trust. I had a 14-50 outlet installed for my Prius prime and had to call him back because when the charger arrived I became concerned because it recommended a higher amp. I call him right away and he was so kind enough to come the next day to add a higher amp, no charge. He also took the time to educate me and what was needed. He mounted the charger for me and no extra cost. Thank you Sam your the man

I was extremely pleased with Bear Electric.  They responded quickly, and I was able to make an appointment for them to come quickly.  Sam and his assistant were very professional, Sam came up with excellent solutions to my problems at a reasonable cost.  Everything was explained to me; prices were given before the work was performed; my receipt explains exactly what was done.  They were careful about keeping things clean and cleaned up after themselves.  I couldn't be happier.   Highly recommend.

Reached out to Sam last night and he was able to squeeze me in this morning, prior to leaving for work. Within 30 minutes of his arrival, my power was restored in both of my restrooms.  He walked me through the problem/resolution process, which I appreciated.  Definitely would recommend him to others and will reach out to him for future electrical needs.

Needed electric works in the kitchen & a few others around the house. I called Bear Electric and talked to Sam who showed up next day morning on time and gave me a price quote that I accepted. I am very pleased with the work Sam & his team have done. Thanks Sam.

Sam was an excellent electrician. He went right to work when he got here and kept everything neat and clean, even vacuumed up when he was done.  He installed a ceiling fan in our bedroom, a chandelier in our dining room, fixed old electrical problems, and replaced 9 each outlets.  See pictures on their website. We will definitely call Sam out again when we need electrical work done.

Sam was fantastic!  Some of the problems I had turned out to be minor.  He did not try to upsell or exaggerate my problems for more money.   He responded quickly to my request for a quote and rapidly completed the job same day.  Very happy with his work.   Thank you!

Yelp has been our go-to site now for a while since we purchased an older home in the Wood streets here in Riverside. One of our concerns was the electrical in the house which we wanted looked over, but we also had several ceiling fans and light fixtures to be installed. Good reviews on Yelp (and a lot of them) helped us choose Bear and not surprisingly it turned out great. Sam and Marvin called right back, showed up the same day to see what we wanted, and finished everything the next day including some electric switch installs we decided to do since we felt good so good about Bear. It's obvious why they're so successful - quick return calls and quality service, good communication as they work, etc... The only down side is that they set the bar a little high for everyone else we've been working with. We got spoiled! First class company and they're permanently in my phone now.

I had messaged a few electricians and am so glad I found Bear Electric.  Sam responded quickly to my message and showed up on time to assess the work I needed now (backyard) and later (house).   I had no idea him and his nice & funny apprentice crew would be able to address what I needed right away.  They went above and beyond - all looks and works great.  I recommend and will have them back out for round two.

I found Sam through yelp and I asked him to come and do the work. He arrived on time. He reviewed the situation and he found that it was not possible to do the work. However, he went extra miles and try to find out if there is other avenue that would make it possible. He presented the options to me and leave it to me whether I want to move forward or not. I decided not to move forward but I'm glad that I had discussion with him and I knew my options. I will definitely call Sam for any of my future electrical need(s).

Sam is a professional -knowledgeable, courteous and conscientious. He came on time, diagnosed the issue, gave recommendations and fixed what I requested at a very reasonable cost. He also addressed other issues as a courtesy, which I really appreciated. Owning an older home, I appreciate his expertise and skill.

In a world of mediocrity and lackluster customer service, it's refreshing to come across a company like Bear Electric.  The team at Bear hooked up the electric to my hot tub.  What could have been a cavalcade of insanity due to the age of my home's electrical grid from the roaring 1920s, Bear made it a smooth and elegant process.  They arrived right on time as they promised, spent the entire under the burning summer sun, and finished the job as promised.  I can not recommend Bear more for all your home's electrical needs.  Professionalism personified!  Thank you, Bear!

wow! sam brought an employee with him only 4 hours after we requested a quote to install a 30amp 120v outlet next to our electrical panel.  he quoted me a price, then asked what i've been quoted from other electricians. other quotes were ~$180 less to $70 more than his but the 3 lowest quotes we got were from companies that hadn't driven out to our home yet. he offered to bring down his price to $75 more than the lowest quote and he cleaned up our panel and moved a couple things around so they were installed in the correct places.
both guys were SO nice, well-spoken, hard-working, and very helpful.
as they wrote an invoice for us, i asked if they could check out our master bedroom fan light. it took awhile to diagnose the problem because the person that sold us our home had repaired it incorrectly once before. sam suggested it may be cheaper to just buy a new fan. then he found a bad connection in the lighting assembly and realized the fan chain was missing a piece, making it difficult to pull the chain. sam didn't give up and made the whole thing functional!
i asked how much money we owed him for adding the fan but he didn't want to charge us anything. wow. we paid him extra, anyway.
his number is now saved in my phone for any future electrical work.
HIRE THESE GUYS!

What I thought would be a replacement ended up being just a problem that could be fixed.  My whole house fan sounded like it completely fell apart inside my attic so I called Sam for an estimate on replacement.  I could tell he was busy from the background noise but he still took the time to give me an estimate over the phone.  Once I bought the fan I called Sam for an appointment.  Sam and Marvin arrived on time to fix my whole house fan but realized it was just a belt that needed to be repaired, plus a tone-up too. He could of just replaced it and charged me since I thought that was the problem but he saved me tons of money by just fixing it. I can now return the whole house fan to Lowes! Sam also checked the main panel and did a quick tune-up on it while he was here too.  Sam is very knowledgeable and both were very polite! Bear Electric is now the company I will call for all my electoral problems at my house! I highly recommend calling Sam!

I contacted Bear electric after being left hanging by an electrician who didn't finish a large project two days before I was supposed to host my bother's 30th birthday. Sam arrived early the next day (today) to install a wall fixture and replace a recessed light in my downstairs bathroom.  We found that the old outlet box wasn't centered in my wall and my water pipe was running directly in the center of my wall to the sink. Big problem because the base of the fixture is short so he couldn't simply center the base to an offset outlet box. Sam found a way to securely install the fixture in the center of my wall even though he couldn't center the outlet box and without puncturing my pipe and flooding the place. He even patched a small hole he had to make to complete the task. Definitely recommend Sam and Bear electric.

What a great electrician!  Sam contacted me as soon as I sent him a message and then scheduled an appointment for the next day to do the work!  I had him install ceiling fan wiring for my bedrooms and his service was top notch with reasonable prices.  He also treated my home like it was his and I respect that very much.  If you need an electrician, I highly recommend Bear Electric!

On 11/13/2017 at approximately 0830 hours  I was having some electrical issues in my garage and wanted to run power for a projector in my theater room.  So I decided to call  bear electric. At approximately 1000 hours I receive a notification and Sam arrived on time and was a professional. He has his own work van with every part imaginable. Sam  was able to pinpoint all the issues I was having as well as took the extra time out of his day and noticed I didn't have any power on the other side of my garage. He said it would take him 10 minutes to add more outlets to the one side. ( he didn't even charge me ) He did so with out incident, Sam was great and I honestly can not be any happier with his service. I would recommend Sam to all my family and friends.

This is a long overdue review... we moved into our house about a month ago and needed to install 2 car chargers, outlets to be replaced and switches in 3 rooms to control the ceiling fans and lights... it's an older home. I messaged Sam and within 10 minutes he responded. We set up an appointment (within the week of initial contact). Sam and Jose came out at 7am took a look around at all the work that we wanted to be done. We agreed on the price and asked when they could get started. He replied with right now and got to work!!! As we went through the house, we noticed more stuff that needed to be fixed and they did it without hesitation, there was no rush to finish the job. They are extremely professional, tells you everything that is being done, pricing, and they get it done. By far the best electricians and would recommend them any day!! He has amazing pricing and is willing to help out anyway he can!
