Ehlers Electric

I had put off getting lights around our yard for a few months. We have 2 acres, and at night and unless the moon is especially bright, it's PITCH DARK in our yard. The biggest issue we had, was that we were getting married back there in just a couple weeks. They came out and knocked it out in 2 days! Totally rocked the house. They ran outlets along 5 of our trees and hooked them up to a switch on our house so we could plug in Christmas lights, and then on some of our other trees they installed uplights to highlight them. Killer job!! There must have been a solid 250-300 feet worth of trench digging to do, but they got it done in just 2 days and saved my butt so my to-be wife didn't kill me for waiting so long!!

Highly recommended and super reasonable on pricing!!

When our heat went out during the coldest weeks in Escondido, December 2021/January 2022, Ehler's came to our rescue. We had an HVAC company look and determine our problem was electrical. The technician quickly diagnosed the problem and resolved it swiftly and inexpensively! I highly recommend this company. They came out the very day after i called them. They were on time and very professional, as well! My family is so happy to have heat back on and working with these unusually cold nights!

Lost power in master bedroom and all circuit breakers were fine.  Called Brandon at Ehlers and he was out the next day.  He quoted a reasonable hourly rate and had plenty of opportunity to make a long, drawn out diagnosis but he found the problem immediately, replaced an outlet and cleaned up.  Charged me for less than an hour!  Who does that?  If an honest, skilled, and experienced electrician is what you are looking for, you can do no better than Ehlers.

Had them over for a few jobs now over a few years, today the most recent.  I've never posted review before but felt compelled to.  Brandon is what you always hope for from any repair crew.  Each time, they've been on time,  prompt,  very competent at  reasonable cost , and cleaned up afterward.  Couldn't ask for more!

Happy! We had Robin & Bart out today to install an outdoor light by our garage where there hadn't been one, & they did a beautiful job. They also installed two recessed lights to replace the fluorescent light in our laundry room, & replaced our ceiling fan in the family room & added a wall remote. As an extra-added bonus, Robin was willing to get back up on the ladder at the end of the job to raise our foyer light. What a great team! We are having them come back to do under cabinet lighting in the kitchen. Feeling happy to find a trustworthy electrician. Thank-you, Ehlers Electric!

Professional company.  We only got an estimate but they came through very fast and were kind.  Definitely recommend.

The sun screen went out again.  These guys are so busy it took them a couple of days to make it out here from Escondido, but it was a really small job so I didn't mind.

They were here 15 minutes and fixed the problem. Now that's what I call service.

These guys are amazing! Ehlers Electric has handled all our electrical needs both residential and commercial. Brandon is knowledgeable not only in his field but current trends. He always gives pros
and cons to layout and placement so I know exactly what I am getting into. On top of it all they are trustworthy. I would never use anyone else.

These guys are the best.  I had an emergency and they were there immediately with an efficient, economical and professional repair.  We remodeled our house and they were there every step of the way with great suggestions and cost saving ideas.

They are neat, professional and just plain nice people.

Need a professional electrician - call Ehlers!

These dudes are awesome. After calling almost a dozen different electricians, these guys offered the best over the phone quote. They arrived on time and expertly installed 5 ceiling fans and a chandelier (a last minute request). They made every attempt to minimize cutting through drywall with the ceiling fan installation.

It's been over a year now since installation and everything still works very well. I would highly recommend the guys for all your electrical needs!!!

We had been wanting to get recessed lighting in our living room for a while.  A good friend recommended Ehlers Electric and I'm SO thankful he did!  Not only did Brandon come in with an estimate of about a third of others, but they got the job down in about 2 1/2 hours (5 canned 6 lights installed).  Not only that, but they cleaned up thoroughly when they were done and we're super professional and nice.  We will definitely be using them again and I HIGHLY recommend you hire them as well!  Thanks guys for the job VERY well done!

Not sure these guys need ANOTHER 5-star review (I think you get the point that Ehlers Electric is the way to go) but just couldn't help myself!!!

Brandon was at my home yesterday to check out a problem we were having with the power line supplying juice to our pool and landscape lighting.  My husband is usually pretty good with this stuff, but when he tried fixing it and sparks flew out he decided we needed to call in the big guns.

Called Brandon on Tuesday and we made an appointment for Wednesday afternoon.  Shortly before he arrived on Wednesday he texted me to let me know he was on his way.  Brandon and his assistant quickly figured out the problem, fixed it, made a few other minor revisions to make things fit and work better, handed me a very reasonable bill, and were on their way in about an hour.

Amazing!  A contractor who answers his phone, arrives on time, fixes the problem, cleans up his work area, AND is reasonable?  Plus...he (and his associate) are also very, very nice - professional, friendly, and helpful.

Thanks for the awesome job guys, we're putting together a list of electrical issues we need to take care of and will be back in touch very soon!

I don't usually take the time to write reviews on Yelp, but these guys were so good that I felt like I owed them this. Brandon and Robin installed two driveway lights for me today and they did an amazing job. They are very professional and very customer focused.  What I appreciated most was that they actually installed the light fixtures for me! I paid them to do the electrical wiring only, and I was planning on installing the fixtures myself. However, once the electric wires were in place, Brandon and Robin insisted on installing the fixtures for me at no extra charge!

The take away: Very professional and honest electricians. They will not overcharge you and they will not up-sell you on services you don't need. I'll definitely be returning on all future electrical work.

Bradon and Robin were amazing. They were very professional, friendly and they got the job done so well. They are reasonably priced and very honest and will not up-sell you on anything. What I also loved about these guys was that they were very prompt in returning my calls and answering any of my questions. They did an amazing job installing my 2 crystal chandeliers in my dining room and den and they also made sure to tidy up after. I will definitely be using Ehlers Electric again and will recommend them to family and friends. Look no further as these guys are well worth it to hire for any of your electrical needs.

We hired Ehlers Electric to prewire our kitchen for under cabinet lighting and then install the lights once the cabinets and backsplash had been installed.  When we removed our old cabinets, we discovered hidden outlets, flexible electrical wires that ran through the ceiling and under cabinets, all of which were fire hazards or were not up to electrical code.  Brandon came out and came up with great solutions for fixing the faulty wiring and brought everything up to current code standards.  Brandon picked out the under cabinets lights and we absolutely love them.  The cost of the entire job was very reasonable.  If you want an electrician who is trustworthy, knows the electrical code, and does a quality job at a reasonable price, Brandon is your guy.

Brandon and his team are exceptional. They quickly understood what I needed and where ready to get started. Ehlers Electric (Brandon) installed canned lighting in three bedrooms, updating electrical outlets and even moved TV cable for us. Brandon and is team listened to what we needed, provided excellent advice to ensure we got great lighting coverage. I would definitely strongly recommend Ehlers  Electric for your electrical needs.

These two fine young fellas deserve the 5 stars everyone seems to be giving them here - I was lucky in catching them on their way home for the day and they showed up less than an hour after I called them, fixed the outlet issue I had for a very reasonable cost, and even explained how the problem occurred.  Definitely will call them again, should the need arise.  Thanks, guys!

Robin, Brandon and Bart are a good team.  They have a getter done approach.  There pricing is reasonable and there work is excellent.  Brandon even has a little interior designer in him.  I asked for help on where to place lights and how many and Brandon knew exactly what to do.  This team definitely help make our kitchen remodel go smooth and look terrific.  After going threw a couple mediocre electricians its final nice to have these guys to call on for my next project.  Thank you

I second all the 5 star reviews about Ehlers Electric.  They answered their phone, arrived on time, did an awesome job and were friendly through it all.  No pressured up-selling... Just great work!!!
I will definitely use them again!

I used Brandon a couple of years ago and gave Ehlers 5-stars back then.  He came out recently and did some canned lighting for us.  Again, we were very pleased and can't give anything less than 5-stars.

These guys are great I wife and I just purchased an electric vehicle we don't like a slow charger. I called up the company the day before told him what I wanted they said great I sent them a picture of the device they followed up with me they came to my house talked me through the whole situation fixed my circuit box great personalities if you need someone to come to your house or anywhere that needs any electrical work call them.  I guarantee 100% satisfaction.

Ehrlers Electric was great to deal with.  They made quick work of a home EV charging station.  Their price was very fair and the work was fantastic.  I will use them again!

I don't know what happened to Brandon and Robin but they are either out of business, or do not respond to their existing customers for new work. They don't answer phone calls and their voice-mail box is full (can't leave a message). I tried leaving texts and again, no reply.  This is a bummer!  I really liked these guys and they did awesome work. Hope they are ok and that perhaps they have too much work.

I made an appointment over the phone. They never showed up or called. I called them for another appointment and again, a no-show. Perhaps the 5 star reviews have made them too busy. After losing a week, I called another company and they showed up on time the next day.

Great job! Fast and timely installation of a gfci outlet. Responded to yelp requests for information extremely quick and lowest quoted price. Thanks!

Great work, efficient, good guys. They installed a ceiling fan and did added some can lights. Turned out the fan had a squeak that drove me nuts, Robin followed up and took care of us.

Brandon and Robin were fantastic. Went above and beyond while installing two ceiling fans and provided fantastic service. They were very professional and courteous will be using them in the future.

Two words - On. Point. I had estimates from several other companies - none of them were bad, but just couldn't get me going. I spoke with Robin briefly and he gave me an rough estimate and said he could make it out in a few hours. They arrived when they said they would, we talked about what I wanted and these dudes got started. It was perfect timing all around. We needed our newly remodeled/flipped home to get wired for cable/internet and these guys came in and handled business. Unfortunately, they uncovered some shoddy work from the previous contractors. They were available to answer any questions I had about what they found and even spoke with my Realtor about the find. The pricing after all had been said and done was more than I expected, though I wouldn't say it wasn't worth it.

Rather than risk electrocuting myself and/or having to hire salesmen/electricians....their honesty, personality and work ethic is grade A!

I had been going back and forth with Ehlers Electric with different questions  about several electric needs my home needed.  They always responded and gave me prices up front.  The big item we needed done was have our new 65 television mounted and an outlet placed up on the wall so we did not have any ugly wires exposed.  When they showed up they were friendly and made sure I was ok with where the TV was being mounted.  Once they had finished mounting it they double checked with me to make sure I was satisfied.  I was and I asked them about different outlets that needed to be replaced. They immediately got to work and replaced the outlets and also fixed a power outage in the house.  They also fixed the hallway switches that refused to work together.  They did not try to hustle me and stuck with their original bid on the project and even saved me some money.  I will definitely use them again soon, probably to hide the wires from our other mounted television.  I'd show some photographs if knew how to upload them but I could not find a way to or know if there is a way to do so.

I have had a couple electricians come to my house and Ehlers is the most honest and reasonable in the business!

Phenomenal.  We had two GFCI outlets installed and these gentlemen did an excellent job for a very competitive price.  There were no drywall repairs or anything else needed after the job.  My call was answered promptly, I was given an initial estimate that was spot on and the work was completed a few days later.  Could not ask for anything more.  Thank you Ehlers Electric!

Brandon and Robin Ehlers Electric did some work in my backyard about a year ago, due to recent rain the lighting no longer works and I have tried calling and texting them to come back out with no response to date.

These guys are great!  Very professional.  I had a mess on my hands, with a faulty main circuit breaker, and a few poorly wired devices (by the previous handyman--me). They quickly found and fixed each problem.  I'm now thinking of installing some LED lighting.  Wanna guess who I'm going to call?

Brandon and Robin finished installing a bathroom exhaust fan for me in my master bathroom today. My husband and I were dealing with moisture issues in this bathroom for a year or so and this fan project was long due. For some retarded reason, the steam just wouldn't go out through the window but instead, drifted into our master bedroom even with the bathroom door closed causing it to smell like a locker/shower room (not mold, we don't have mold or a leak...specifically it was a shower steam/locker room smell from all that moisture anytime a long shower was taken).

It was difficult finding an electrician in the area willing to do the job. I must have left 15 messages to different electricians. 1 electrician with reputable reviews in Escondido kept flaking and rescheduling...a bad sign. I called these guys and they answered the phone and were able to put me on the schedule (though I waited 2 weeks since they were busy which was fine with me). And to my surprise, they actually showed up and didn't flake...I almost thought they weren't going to show up since they came during the later part of their 9-10 am window. I was nervous to get the job done with them because they only had 1-2 reviews?? I don't get why they have such little reviews because they did awesome work for me and clearly knew what they were doing.

This bathroom exhaust fan required a dedicated 20 Amp circuit as there was no existing wiring in the bathroom. I had an adjacent gable in the attic that made it easy to duct the exhaust out to so they didn't need to do extra work going through the side of my condo. They showed up around 10 am to do the job, did a quick 30 min shopping trip to get my 6 in duct work and a switch panel, then finished the job at 1 pm. These guys are brothers so they were able to tag team the work to get stuff done efficiently. This job involved going through my attic, installing duct work out to my gable, installing the bath fan in the ceiling, and wiring in the attic, subpanel, and bathroom switches. They also accommodated my request to use smooth (not the flexible) 6 in duct to use since according to the reviews on the bath fan I bought, it would help with condensation and keep the noise down. The smooth duct is more difficult to install than the flexible duct but I was okay paying them extra in labor. I feel that the total price they charged me for this project was more than fair and I am hoping this review doesn't give them too much more business as I want to be sure they will be there anytime I wish to have more electrical work done (yeah, I'm selfish on this).

I just finished a long hot shower in this master bathroom and I have no more condensation on my mirrors or window sill. Also, no more shower/steam smell in the master bedroom either...YAy! Thanks guys.

What can I say, these guys know how to take care of business. We are new home owners that had been taken advantage of by multiple contractors hired to do work on our home. I came across Ehlers Electric and spoke with Brandon and the very next day he and Robin stopped by to check out the house. They automatically started pointing out all the wrong things that had been done. We immediately felt comfortable with them and their work ethic. They were able to work with our schedule, and once they started the job they worked the whole way through, and even suggested upgrades that would complete the job to just perfect! Overall, these guys are awesome people that gave us our beautiful home back. We will definitely be in contact with them for future projects. Thank you Ehlers Brothers!

I am a general contractor here in San Diego.  Brandon and Robin are the greatest.  I can always rely on them to do what they say and get it done when they say it will be done and at some of the best prices in town. They are clean, courteous and very knowledgeable.  I would recommend them to anyone in need of a great electrician.

Being a single mom at home with my four kids was very devastated during a recent downpour, it caused terrible electrical outage.  I realized one of the socket was badly burnt out so I called this company to get an electrician to change the socket. And yes, the experience was an unforgettable, the entire staffs are courteous and friendly, service delivered was timely and efficient.  Several months after I had another problem and the service remains better than the rest and even more courtesies extended.  Today they are my number one home service electrician in this area and I recommend them to you all. Their prices are unbeatable and affordable, quality of work is excellent, organized and detail oriented. In comparison with the other home electrician companies I dealt with I would give this one 10/10 for overall work performance and quality, also they have special discounts where there is change in weather conditions that might affect your electrical fixings.  Been with other companies who totally ripped me off and service was poor and sub standard. This company has a very good relationship with residents in this area and they continue to provide us with excellent service. GREAT JOB GUYS

All the guys at Ehler's Electric did a great job with multiple electrical projects at my house.  They did a TV mounting along with a soundbar that required a lot of new wiring and outlets to have it come out perfect.  There were some other items I needed done such as motion detector switches and changing out all the outlets in the kitchen for a new backsplash.  A few weeks prior they also replaced three light fixtures and a ceiling fan for me.  They were on time, professional, had reasonable prices and are very trustworthy.  I had received a quote from a large electrical firm that was three times as much and am very pleased I decided to call Ehler's based on their location and the reviews on here.  I would use them again in a heartbeat and recommend them to anyone who needs some great electricians!
