Electric For You

I came home to find the lights in the kitchen still working however my fridge and microwave were no longer drawing power. The power in my garage was also out however the rest of the house was fine. I called and Sofia answer once I figured out this problem was outside my wheelhouse.

Sofia wanted to make actually sure a tech was needed to be sent out and had me verify with SCE I wasn't experiencing a brown out. The fact she went out of her way to save money for me speaks volumes about the integrity of the company. Once we knew I needed an electrician, she had Victor come out to my home in the same day. Very impressive I discovered a problem at 5 and by 7 Victor was in my house troubleshooting.

Initially, Victor braced me for the worse, that I may need to replace the lines for the circuits that ran to me major appliances and garage. However, he was thorough and tenacious and found the two shorts that were the culprits.

Hired for 240v install, was able to get them to come out next day, which was terrific as I'm unable to think straight at the moment due to chronic pain

Lacked any responses to my emails directly as if they're trying to avoid leaving document trails

The day after the install, I emailed and called about my receipt that I never received - they did reach out after my missed call and provided the receipt over email, but avoided replying directly to the email chain and provided a link to their portal so I go and download instead. It would have been more efficient to just attach the pdf to a reply email in my opinion, but I didn't count that against their rating as they may not know about corporate SOP.

Upon opening the receipt pdf, I was unfortunately presented with another case of their plan B - avoid leaving document trails in case of needing to not assume liability if work goes wrong in the future and starts a fire - incorrect install date and missing items: 240v outlet and junction box parts that were provided by Electric for You and charged to the total settled bill of $400 cash as I initially provided the wrong outlet for my welder. Overall, they were unprofessional when it came to being indisputably transparent with their clients about expected time of arrival (it took another day than the expected next day), quote, communication, billing/receipt, and accurate information.

Besides the huge gaps from cutting the drywall for the junction box that I am unpleased with, I am unable to review the actual work as I had to clean up the work areas (inside my garage and the neighbor's walkway) and also had to repeatedly request him to leave the breaker box exposed so he can run me through the install method as he was nearing completion (which grommet hole was punctured, if the junction box was placed on a stub or drywall hangers, and etc).I was expecting a presentation of the work, but ended up spoonfeeding questions repeatedly - call me needy. Therefore, I haven't used my welder extensively yet - I will report and edit my review after I test the safety.

I will disclose that due to my chronic pain that led me to hiring externally [in which I never do], I did doubt the electrician's honesty about my belongings twice. The business decided to file a police report against me as I decided to return their belonging & gifts for my apology to the business address indicated on the receipt - I have no comment for that as I am partially responsible for not giving them the benefit of the doubt amidst the plethora of doubtful concerns, lack of organization, and lack of professional business methods stated above and expressed during service.

Sofia was pretty responsive in scheduling and transparent with pricing. Made it very easy to set up a GFCI outlet replacement. Although they needed to push back the appointment a few times to a later time, Sofia communicated as soon as she knew the electrician would be running late.

The work was done without many hiccups, and the payment/billing was quick and easy as they accept Zelle!

Sofia was a big help when my circuit breaker was overloaded. I requested a quote and instead of sending someone to diagnose the problem, she was able to diagnose it over the phone and gave me a step by step process on how to fix it. I was able to bring back power to my home, all thanks to Sofia!

We had a broken circuit breaker, Electric For You was responsive, on time and all masked up.  Carlos and Victor diagnosed the issue quickly, replaced the part and got us electricity in less than 30 minutes.

We'll definitely use Electric for You again, great South Bay electricians.

I needed a couple of outlets installed - one in kitchen and one outside - so I called around and Electric For You had a very competitive price and flexibility in scheduling. They gave me the great quote over the phone so we scheduled the job right then and there.

Carlos came out and was very friendly and got to work right away. Both outlets were installed very cleanly w/almost no mess. After Carlos left, I noticed something was wrong with the inside outlet (it would only turn on if the light switch was turned out) so I called back and Sofia had him come out same day to fix. Throughout the entire process they were completely friendly and professional.

Will use Electric For You going forward as my house electricians.

I was looking for an electrician to install three ceiling fans and a smart 3-way light switch. I called multiple electricians, and Electric For You was quick and responsive. I spoke with Sofia, she gave very reasonable  prices and they were able to provide same day service. Victor was the electrician, and did a great job completing to projects. Even after the installation, I had a clicking noise issue with one of my fans, and they were able to come check it out immediately to help fix. We love supporting local businesses, and would definitely use them again.

I requested a couple of outlets to be installed and for them to repair my charging station. The work was performed flawlessly. They were fairly priced, professional, completed the job within 45 minutes, and ensured they cleaned up after themselves.

Our GFCI outlet burnt out, so we called and Carlos came out to repair. Carlos was great, fixed everything and the total was reasonable, around $85. I talked to Sophia from the office and let her know to send me an invoice via email so I can make the payment. She sent me the email, and I made the payment, no issues.

Today, Carlos and another guy we don't recognize comes by while I'm not home and is demanding payment from my wife. Luckily, I see them on my ring camera and I ask them why they are physically at my house. It appeared that since they thought they didn't receive payment, they would come by to intimidate us for payment. This is completely stupid as payment was already made (email proof) and it was only for $85.

Why not just call and ask me? If I made an error of some sort in making payment, I would gladly make the payment again, it's just $85. Sending 2 guys to my house to intimidate my family while I'm at work, to make payment is the worst thing you can do.

Terrible business practice!!!

Unprofessional company
Cheap price cheap job never gonna work with this company Again
Left the site dirty like after world war 2
If I can rate less then 1 star I will
UNPROFESSIONAL!!!

Not recommended at all!!!!

I was having what I believe was an electrical short and Sent a message early in the morning.  They responded quickly and told me that they had someone available that morning and I provided my information. I asked what time they would be at my home because I'm working from home and needed the issue fixed as soon as possible. Before I knew it they were here which was great. They quickly diagnosed the issue and gave me a clear cut quote which I agreed with. They were honest, friendly and resolved the issue quickly. To add to that, they were being covid safe and had masks on the whole time. It's hard to find any kind of good contractors nowadays even with Yelp and the internet being available so I'm glad to have found them. I plan on having them as my go to electricians from here on out, keep up the great work.

Had a great experience with Electric For You.  Sofia,the owner, was very pleasant and was able to send out Victor the same day to fix a breaker issue.  Victor was professional and answered all of my questions.  It turned out to be a quick fix and for a very reasonable price.  I will call this company again with any electrical needs.

Victor and Sofia make an awesome team and they have done several jobs for me and family members. From trouble shooting to outlet and light fixtures installs all work has been done with care and expertise. I highly recommend this company

Had an appointment scheduled for 8:30am. No one showed or called to reschedule. I reached back out to them and have not heard back. Would not recommend.

I did not request a quote from Electric for you directly. I requested a quote from a particular electrician and Yelp asked if I was interested in sending my request for a quote to other electricians. I agreed and within a few hours I received 3 replies from electricians. I settled on two to come and provide a free estimate. I was given a two hour arrival window from Electric for you for the estimate, which I appreciated. I met the electrician and agreed to the work. We scheduled for a Saturday.
The day of the work, the electrician was running late, but Sofia emailed me that the electrician was running late. I understand things happen, and I appreciated the notice. The electrician replaced two light fixtures with LED versions and replaced 5 outlets in my living room. He worked fast and was very good at cleaning up after himself.
I would have appreciated him wearing shoe covers (booties) which he did not. But he did have his mask on throughout the work. I look forward to hiring them in the future.

I had victor install my ceiling fan and he was great, super professional and did all he could to make sure my ceiling fan worked perfectly! I am beyond satisfied and will be using them again.

I needed an electrician to add an electrical outlet in my bathroom. Yelp sent out a request for me and Electric for You responded. They gave me a reasonable estimate and same day service!
The electrician arrived later then his projected arrival time but came prepared to do the job.
He was professional, did the job I requested and I was satisfied with the job! Thank you.

They were quick to respond to my Yelp quote request and communicated well.   I needed 2 GFCI outdoor outlets installed.  They showed up immediately for service the same day and finished quickly and professionally.  The electricians were knowledgable and offered good advice for other home issues I had.  I highly recommend them.

We needed a main overhead light installed in our kids bedrooms. Prior to the work we had done by this company, we could only use floor lamps. I got on yelp and contacted about three or four local companies for quotes and these guys were the first to be able to come out and give me a quote for the job. It was SIGNIFICANTLY LESS than the other ones I received, AND they were the only company who said they would not need to drill any holes in my wall to get the job done. Other companies told me they'd have to cut out pieces of the wall that we would be left to patch ourselves when it was all done.

So we went with Electric for You and they were able to schedule the job for only a few days out. They were in and out in about two hours, and left NO holes in the wall. Cleaned up great. Very kind and professional. I'm still shocked that it was so affordable and so easy, and wish we'd called them years ago when we bought this house. Thanks guys!!

Don't recommend  these guys at all charged the owner of the house 85 dollars and then charged me 130  I'm the renter here they didn't want to give me a receipt but now I know why don't call these thieves !!! Also they were coughing and sneezing all over my house. If your sick stay home !

Very responsive and easy to set up an appointment. The electrician wore a mask and was very respectful and safe while in our home. The work was done quickly and correctly. No hidden charges and we were happy with the work done. Highly recommend.

I called Electric For You to install a smart home device that I was struggling to get to work properly.  Victor showed up on time, and was confident that he would be able to fix the problem and install the device properly.  They are reasonably priced, and I highly recommend this company for any electric work.  I will be using them again for any future projects that come up.

A fantastic company! We wanted two fans installed in our new condo from our old apartment and Sofia hooked us up. Picture it, Downtown Los Angeles, August 2018. Donald Trump is President (it's true! That guy from the TV who doesn't know how to talk and has amazingly not had a coronary), NK has nuclear missiles, and Crazy Rich Asians is at the top of the box office. I had purchased and installed two ceiling fans that I really loved, but was moving to a new home that didn't have any in the bedrooms. I got a few estimates and Sofia came in with the best bid and said it could be done the day before I moved in. And oh man did they deliver.

They took the fans down, drove all the way across the city and installed them with new switches in the same day. The fans run beautifully and I've never been so satisfied. I look forward to working with them again and will be happily recommending them to all my friends should they need anything.

This company is beyond helpful, kind, timely and professional. We had our remodel destroyed by a previous contractor, Sofia and her husband came in to save the day. Sofia helped us navigate the permit process with LA county, find other reputable contractors and get our project back on track. I highly recommend this team.

Excellent service! Requested a quote through Yelp, and got a fair price very quickly! A little back and forth on scheduling, but once it was squared away, the electrician arrived early and was fully prepared. Knew exactly what to do. Installed two electrical outlets within 1.5 hours....very happy. Thank you! Will use again and recommend to others.

I needed some electrical work done in my dining room and wasn't able to set up an appointment earlier this week - so I didn't have confidence that I would be able to grab an appointment on my day off. Boy was I wrong (thank goodness!). I sent a message to Electric For You and within 20 minutes, Sofia replied asking if I could meet an electrician an hour later. He came (masked up!) and diagnosed and fixed the problem within 10 minutes. I am incredibly happy with the great communication and the ease in payment. I highly recommend and will definitely call Electric For You for any future needs. Thanks!!

Outstanding Service! Victor was on time and fixed my flood lights. Happy with the cost I was charged, Highly recommend and will use again!

They came early and that was great ! Outstanding work and complied with COVID-19 ordinances, prices were good. Great job overall.

Victor, Sofia and their crew are amazing. They are efficient, understanding and professional. We love this company and have used them for numerous projects. I refer them often and will continue to do so.

Called them for an emergency. They were pretty accommodating at first. Sophia confirmed the appointment at 08:00AM - 09:00AM for the following morning. But, Victor did not show up until 10:00AM, and that was after so many texts and phone call.

Victor did not speak English well, so my tenants couldn't understand what he was saying. Then, he complained that tenants asked him to remove his shoes when entering the house. What a petty thing to complain about. Most other vendors will be respectful and wear booties, even.

To replace the meter, they quoted me a price, and after all negotiations, the price could not come down lower. So, I called another company that has much better reviews here, and got a cheaper quote. When I told Sophia that I no longer want their service to change the meter, she immediately lowered the price, but it was too late. At the end, I'm happy I did not choose them for a big job like replacing a meter.

I gave them a 2 for their responsiveness when making the appointment.

These guys installed a 240 v spa for me at my home in PV.  It was a long electrical run, but they did it and it looks perfect.  When the spa arrived, they came back to hook it up.  It was up and running quickly.  Had them also quote some other work which we will likely do after the holidays.  I would totally recommend them. Thanks for the hard work. Merry Christmas.

I was first given a quote of $300 by Sofia over Yelp. When Victor showed up, he wanted $1000. Then he agreed to do it for $500 after some negotiation. 3 days later, Sophia called and said material alone costs $500 and wanted to negate the agreement and upcharge to $700. Does this sounds reasonable to you? Took my business elsewhere, of course.

Showed up in mask. Did the work to specs. Very clean work and reasonable estimate/price. Thanks Carlos.

On time, efficient, costs laid out beforehand, and no oh by the way.  Very happy with them.

I needed an electrician to come and remove some fluorescent lights and install some LCD lights in the kitchen.  Electric for You responded quickly and was able to tend to my needs expeditiously.  Kudos!

This company is beyond unprofessional and their work is sloppy. I hired them for a remodel and paid them close to 7k. Not only did they force me me to pay in full before the work was finished, but they blamed me and argued with me when I tried to get them out to complete the job. The head electrician is never on site to supervise, and Sofia is an unpleasant and a delusional person who thinks she has the scheduling under control; but she doesn't. I would never use this company again, and I strongly suggest you keep searching as they shouldn't even be in business.

Awesome work, our bathroom light was bad. Victor did an awesome job getting this back up. Truly appreciate his work and will get them to do come back and do more awesome work.

I asked for an appointment online and was given the next available on the following day. I was also provided with a time of 10-11am of their arrival. They were late and arrived at 12noon. I did not receive a courtesy call, but once they arrived they immediately sought to fix my problem.

Sophia and Victor were great. They responded quickly to my quote request. And we're able to schedule something within less than 24 hours. They fixed our bathroom fan within a matter of time. Very friendly and professional. Highly recommend!

I like to support local small businesses so I picked this company to do some electrical work for my landlord.  They are a husband and wife team and they did their best to make sure I was satisfied by the time the job was done.  The work was done quickly and efficiently.  Sofia handled the customer service aspect and was available through Yelp or via texting.  All is well so thanks to Victor and Sofia for making it happen.

I have to be real honest about this up and coming company. We are a G.C. Rehab Building Company. I have to say that Electric For You is by far one of the top 3 sub contractors we use...and we go through a lot of them. The difference between them is that Electric For you definitely goes way above and beyond. The best thing about the, besides the work itself is that they are always on time and finish a a timely manner. The finish product from beginning to end is with out question...amazing. To top it all off...if there is an issue they come out same day to reconcile it. Love this company.

Needed some help rewiring coax and telephone wires. They did a nice, clean job. Only knock is that they were late for the estimated quote and the job time.

If you need anything done regarding electricity, done hesitate to give Sophia and the team at Electric for you a call!! Always a live operator and they came out quick. Took care of me in 10 mins with no hassles at all. Will definitely recommend this company to all my friends and family.

Fast service.  They beat competing quotes.  Installed a NEMA 14-50 charger for electric vehicle very profrssionally in the garage.  No exposed piping.  Would use them again for any home electrical needs.

Call and schedule a appointment two weeks in advance call back two days before to confirm never show up they didn't call me back to say if they were coming or not just beware.

I use their services for a panel upgrade and im very happy with my results. Great custumers fast service would recomend. Love their work

Sophia was very responsive and easy to get ahold of and work with. Victor was very friendly and was able to get the work done relatively quickly. We had a couple of miscommunications in regards to when they would arrive for the quote, and when the job would ultimately get done. Overall I am pleased with the end product of the work that Victor was able to do, and the way in which the electrical was able to be routed. I would have liked it if when they were all done, they would have cleaned up after themselves. Discounting the miscommunication in the early part of the job, the only real ding I would give Victor and his guy is that anywhere they worked, they left debris. Whether it be shavings from drilling, slugs from boxes, small pieces of wire, or in the case of my basement an entire length of wire. To really be 5 stars, you've got to leave the job site the way you found it. And my house isn't under construction - it's a clean and well maintained finished home. That's also how I'd like it to look when the work is done.

An Angel sent them to us we were in need of a lot off work to be up to city code..helped us in a major way..exhaust fans,hard wiring,electrical outlets..Went out of her way to pull permits..I will give them a call back..for future work,..Thank You Sofia. Linda Pryor

Nice and easy service.  Good communications, they came, they fixed, they left.  Customer service was great, and more importantly they knew what they were doing and fixed three lights that weren't working when we weren't sure why.  I would recommend.

The best and most honest electrician I have ever used. They have made some big jobs so much more manageable.

They started out good however refuse to finish the job properly.  Sophia insists that canned lights should always glow and the MANUFACTURER, 2 other electricians and 2 electrical stores completely disagree that they are installed wrong.  Also my dimmers and 3 way switches don't work.  I only wanted the work completed accurately and they won't respond.  I made the mistake of paying them fully before everything worked correctly - my bad!

If you need any Electrical work done,Electric for you is the right place,this company they came and they did it,job well done i am very please costumer Bernadine.

Electric For You was very impressive from my initial contact. They were able to accommodate me for a same day appointment to replace an entry light fixture. The fixture was installed expertly and with professional care. It was suggested to use an LED bulb which they had available. Very personable and genuinely sincere about providing good quality service. Even sent me a follow up text. Without hesitation, would recommend to others. Definitely on my preferred list!

I did bids on Yelp for a ceiling fan install and Electric For You gave a good price and came the next day to do the work. The job went smoothly thanks to their expertise and good workmanship. Sofia was a pleasure to deal with for bidding and online payment. I'll use them again!
