Lonny was able to come out the same day to repair a light switch that stopped working.  We also spoke about options and price quotes for some more complex work I would like to have done in the future.  His price was fair, he was friendly and I will definitely be contacting him to do the additional work when I'm ready.  I highly recommend him.

At least I know who not to call next time I need or want some electrical work done. Flash Gordon Electric was the first electrician I could get on the phone, and he was able to come over pretty much right away. I was very happy with how responsive and available he was. That said, maybe his wide open schedule should have been a sign.

Flash Gordon Electric did not seem confident in his craft, nor interested in doing work. He immediately shot down most of my ideas and said he wouldn't do them. After pressing a little harder throughout his visit, I was finally able to get a few rough quotes, but he kept complaining about how inconvenient the projects would be due to the location of my current outlets. However, at that point, I had already made up my mind that I wasn't going to go with him (even if his prices were the cheapest).

I usually keep bad reviews to myself, but something about this experience left a bad taste in my mouth. In a city where most contractors will come out and give free estimates, I found myself paying $125 for him to basically say he doesn't want to do the work that I was looking to hire him for. He was not upfront about pricing on the phone, either. I would understand a small service fee if he drove a long way to see me, but he was only 2 or so miles away (10 minute drive) when I called him. Two stars is better than one, but I think you can do much better. I would avoid Flash Gordon.

Lonny is super personable and he really seems
to know what he is doing. He is a Burbank native and I'm very happy to find a trustworthy technician with local knowledge about the way homes have been wired in the area.

Lonny was awesome! We've used him a couple of times. Needed help installing a ceiling fan. He called to confirm and actually asked if he could come a little bit earlier. He showed up with his helper and took care of business. He's a Burbank guy that knows the area and the type of houses in the area. He's very knowledgeable and will be straight out with you and will NEVER try and charge you for unnecessary work. As far as pricing.......he is VERY reasonable. Thanks Lonny!

If you need electrical work done, Lonny is the person to call. He came by the same day I called and repaired my light fixture and wall switches. Lonny is friendly and honest. I highly recommend him .

I needed an electrician to troubleshoot some outlet issues I was having. Namely that the outlets on one wall stopped working. I called on a Sunday in the middle of a rainstorm and was surprised when Lonnie actually answered - I had anticipated leaving a message. We chatted for some time to suss out the scope of the issue and he said he would reach out with a time he could make it during the week. He contacted me the next day and came out within a few mins. Found the problem quickly, fixed it, and charged a reasonable price. Highly recommend for your electric needs.

We had a couple smaller electrical repairs and projects that we needed help with - a busted bathroom outlet, a new porch light installed due to faulty old wiring, and a new outlet for an electric dryer. Lonny was recommended by a competitor. I sent him a text and he responded that day. We set a time for him to come over the next week to see what needed to be done.

Lonny came by and checked out all my projects. He let me know how much the repairs would be and about how long he thought they would take. He talked about the work required and estimated cost to add the additional outlet for the dryer, and we both agreed financially it didn't make sense for us - no pressure whatsoever to move forward. He also gave me some great advice on things we could do around the house on our own to help lower not only our electric bill but our our gas bill as well!

On the actual day of the repairs, Lonny came by when he said he would with his associate Pete and they an excellent job. The outlet they replaced looked better than the original one that was there. The porch light installation took them longer than expected because the original light was installed in a really hack way, so they made sure to do it right this time. We were truly pleased with their help and the final results.

With more projects on the horizon, I look forward to working with Lonny in the future! Highly recommended.

I can't say enough good things about Lonny. He was prompt, polite, always easy to get a hold of, and a super friendly guy. He's incredibly honest and really knows his stuff. If something doesn't need doing, he'll tell you and won't try and upsell the job. I'm thankful to have found him and won't hesitate to call him again for any electrical needs. Thanks Lonny!

Lonny was recommended by another great electrician, Wayne at Burbank Electric, for some issues with our electrical panel. Lonny was prompt, responsive, and went above and beyond looking into our issue and giving us different options on how to proceed. We've got more projects lined up in the near future, and we'll be sure to give Lonny a call asap.

Lonny helped us out with a list of things that needed to be addressed with our house purchase and fit us in to his busy schedule b/c we were on a short timeline.  He was affordable but also very communicative about when he could be there and showed up when he said he would. Now that the inside is done I will definitely have him back for the stuff that needs to be done on the outside!

Awesome electrician! He has installed recessed lighting in our home, plus hung all of our lighting fixtures and they look great. He's also done troubleshooting to fix some other power issues we had. He's reliable and always answers calls and texts which we really appreciate! Highly recommend.

Love this company! Lonnie squeezed me into his busy schedule and fixed the problem. No power to the entire back of my house, he found the bad junction and tracked down the issue. Very nice man, showed up on time and great work ethics at a very fair price.
Bravo Lonni!

Excellent electrician! I called for an outlet that was no longer functioning. Lonnie responded & made himself available to come by right away. He found the problem and had it fixed in a few minutes. It was a simple fix! I then showed him an older two prong outlet which he told me he could upgrade right then! He was fast, did awesome work and was a great price!! I will be calling him again for any electrical needs. I highly recommend this company!

Lonny is great. He doesn't create work that doesn't need to be done. He's also fast. He was able to rewire half of the property and do patch work in one day.

Once the dry wall had set he made it a point to come
back to hang the light fixture.  

I strongly recommend Lonny and his team.

My new recessed lighting fixture and my wife's antique chandelier in the adjacent dining room are hooked up to the same dimmer switch.  We made a kitchen remodel about a year ago and it was not working.  I found Lonnie doing a Google Search and he came over that very day.  Quickly diagnosing the problem (there was a short in the antique chandelier), he said that if we wanted to keep it, he could in fact repair the chandelier and install it too.   He discussed other options as well.   After repairing the Chandelier and restoring its beauty, he easily installed it and now, we have light!  Lonnie is great at what he does technically.  By far his best quality is the soundness of his advice when it comes to options on how to deal with a particular problem.  He worked with us to give us this best deal and the best price!  Thanks Lonnie!  He'll be my go to electrician from here on out, for sure.

I needed to up the juice one one of my outlets to run some fancy power tools.  Problem was I wasn't entirely sure how much more juice I needed, I just knew that I need more.  I consulted multiple electricians for a job and Lonny was the only one that actually asked really good questions about what my needs were.  Came out promptly the next day, did the job, charged a very reasonable amount for said work, and stayed around long enough to check that it fulfilled my needs.  Definitely a business card I'll be saving.

After being blown off by a previous electrician I was super happy when Lonny actually responded to my text. I was even happier when he could come out at the end of his work day for a quote. I had him out for the a job last Friday to do a few things (running speaker wire, removing an outlet and installing an outlet for a TV). The job wasn't an easy one but he handled it with professionalism and it was obvious he knows what he's doing. After 13 years of living in my house, I'm finally happy with the electrical in my den, woot!

I called these guys to do a job and then found out that problem was an easy fix.  So I called to cancel and I can not tell you how awesome and helpful these folks were.  They spent time with me to figure out the problem and were ready to come same day, and when I canceled - they were super gracious and helpful with tips and advice.  Just good vibes all the way around - and I haven't even officially worked with them yet :)

I have an old house , so over the years I have gone through quite a couple electricians. They are either super unreliable, over charge, or just do sloppy work. I had an outlet explode to where it melted the outlet plate and a previous electrician just changed out the outlet plate and said it's not a big deal, for now, and that the outlet would hold.  I asked him if he could just fix whatever needed to be fixed so I didn't have to worry about it and he said he was rushing to another job and that he would call me to reschedule. Of course, I never heard from him again and when I tried calling I never got a phone call back. I still felt nervous and I didn't feel comfortable with his decision at all.

So I called Flash Gordon to come take a second look. He was kind and courteous and he came on time. Not only did he locate the problem, he explained to me what the issue was and what he was doing to fix it. He really made me feel at ease!  I definitely will be calling him again, let's just hope I don't have to! :)

My man, Lonnie! My preferred electrician and comes recommended by the Yelp community. Very fair pricing/knowledgeable person. He's upfront and sometimes comes across as a rude fella, but he will solve your problem. BIG PLUS: He takes Credit cards/without any additional fees.

He fixed our outdoor lights, outdoor electrical socket, and also replaced our old recessed lights in the kitchen with LEDs.

I was moving out of my apartment and needed some lighting fixtures changed.  With such good Yelp reviews, I decided to call and get a quote for the work.  Lonny answered right away, provided me with a reasonable quote, and was available that same day.  We coordinated a time and he was punctual. He did the work quickly and stuck with the price he quoted me though one of the fixtures was a little more challenging to install than he anticipated based on our prior conversation.  I was so pleased with his work that I gave him another lighting fixture to repair at his leisure.  I would not hesitate to call Lonny again if I needed him; he was warm, friendly, skilled, and fair.  Highly recommended!

Lonnie is a great electrician. I had a handy man friend Who used to be an electrician try to figure out what was going on because it was some lights that were going off throughout the day and night and I could not figure out what was the problem. My handyman could not figure it out for the life of him and Lonnie found the problem the same day he came in. Nice stand up person, good electrician and has a warranty on his work.

The owner is absolutely amazing! Had an issue after hours he was here in a FLASH super knowledgeable efficient and affordable guy! His rates are reasonable and he literally can fix anything and work within your budget! I HIGHLY recommend this electrician. Trust me; you will not go wrong with his service, speed and just downright friendly and efficient service! He works with all budgets and gets it DONE. Don't call anyone else! Great company.

We called Lonny for three issues which I'll address in my review:

1. Dead outdoor outlets -- Another electrician told us we needed to rip open our walls before he could even begin to assess what the problem might be. Lonny came and within 40 minutes had diagnosed the problem without reaching into his toolbag.

2. Wiring electricity to the fountain in our garden -- No problem for Lonny. The job required rewiring through our stone grill, but Lonny was both surgical and methodical, and the result is outstanding.

3. Buzzing overhead lights -- A delightful parting gift from the previous owner, we still can't figure this one out. Lonny said he needed to do some more research and get back to us. I skeptically assumed once we paid him, we'd never hear from him again, but he got back to us a week later and told us it might be a bad ballast that would need to be cut out and replaced. But he also was honest in saying that he was uncertain if that would fix our issue. He could have been dishonest and recommended just cutting our ceiling open ... then charging us on an on-going basis as he fumbled around trying to fix the problem.

So we're 2 for 3, but we know we got honest, reliable service.

I had a terrific experience with Flash Gordon Electric.  I called because I need to upgrade my doorbell transformer but I could not find it.  He text me with places to look so that I did not have to incur a service fee.  Of course, I have one of those old houses where the transformer is in none of the usual places.  

I called them out a few days later and within an hour they had my new transformer rewired.  They were kind, informative, tidy, gave a fair price, and they were a joy to talk to!  I would hire again and certainly recommend them to anyone!

Just got a new home and needed to have a lot of electrical work done.   I got a number of different estimates for the work, however   Lonnie is the only person/company that THOROULGY looked at my job before giving me an estimate.    I know nothing about being an electrician but immediately when he looked at our first problem I felt confident that he knew what he is doing.     That being the case we immediately choose Flash Gordon for this job.  
 
During the course of the working on the house, he ALWAYS kept to deadlines, constantly communicated with us to make sure we understood what was going on.     There were no surprises, the issues that popped up are issues he had already advised us he might run into.    At the end of the project his final price was exactly what was quoted (maybe a bit less).  
 
We were so impressed with Lonnie's work that we took his recommendations for other work needed in the house, his recommendations were spot on.
 
Finding a company you can trust is hard to come by but in this they exceeded my expectations.  I highly recommend Flash Gordon for any electrical work you need done.

This is why Yelp works.  We had a problem with all of our back yard sockets. Looked on Yelp for someone nearby with good reviews. Lonny jumped off the page.  He sent John over within 30 minutes of my call and after some time diagnosing the problem he found two sockets that were dangerously in need of replacement and a burnt wire using a short. Problem fixed at an incredibly reasonable price.  

You're reading this review because you need an electrician and don't want to get ripped off.  Thats smart!  Now do the next smart thing and call Lonny!!

Lonny and Josh showed up to upgrade 48 halogen fixtures to LED lights and do some other repairs, including advising on the repair and/or replacement of a state-of-the-art (in 1993) low voltage lighting system.  They were awesome.  They fixed everything without doing any damage to the walls, worked quickly, efficiently and effectively.  The cost was eminently reasonable and all of my expectations were met.  Lonny was even able to figure out the old lighting system and solved issues 6 other electricians could not.  Amazing!!! Will continue to use him for all my electrical needs. Highly recommend.

The best choice of electrician out there.  We bought an older Burbank home in need of significant electrical work including two new service panels.  Looking for someone with top tier knowledge, skill AND honest?  Someone who will explain and solid recommendations and will always give you options to save money where possible?  Lonny is your man.  Also very pleasant to work with, and stays in contact (added bonus- knows and uses text messaging if that is what you prefer) and very reasonable prices.  For me,  finding someone I could trust with significant problems was such a tremendous relief.

Had Lonny come out again to add some dedicated circuits in the kitchen. Awesome job again, came on time and done on time, no extra charges, and clean! Went above and beyond in replacing some wire that was frayed at no additional cost.

I refer him to all my family and friends. Straight forward and honest. Thanks Lonny!

Contacted Lonnie because of all the great yelp reviews and photos of works he's completed to install a level 2 evse charger at my home. Lonnie cam out to review the job and quoted a very reasonable rate so we booked an appointment. Everything was explained clearly to me and he completed all the work cleanly and made certain everything was in perfect working order. Very pleased with the service and will call Lonnie for any further electrical work in my home.

Mr. Gordon installed a ceiling fan for us where there was no electric wiring.  He ran wires for us through the wall, hung our ceiling fan, and patched up the work exquisitely.  He installed the fan and made sure it ran perfectly before leaving.  His prices are extremely reasonable and his work flawless!  His assistant Josh is a great guy as well!  Thank you guys for the wonderful work, and great conversations.  Hope to use your services soon!

Found Flash Gordon on Yelp. He came to my house and added 2 power outlets, and replaced a spot light. The job hands down was amazing, quality, he explains everything, he is very reasonable in price, I seriously couldn't ask for more.

Very happy to know I have a reliable power guy for future projects and work that is needed down the line. This is as good as it gets and I would highly recommend his services you will be amazed and very happy.

Flash Gordon Electric was AMAZING!  We had several jobs that needed to be done in a timely manner.  Lonny and his assistant was able to come in and get it all done in one day! We needed to relocate our wireless internet, move and hide wires for our alarm pad, relocate some light switches for a laundry room, remove a ceiling fan, as well as install 10 recessed lights with light switches.  Lonny and his company came in and did a fantastic job. As expected they had to cut holes in the walls in order to fish the lines down but the patch job they did was great! Instead of just removing the fan and sticking a plate up to cover the hole, they actually removed the fan AND can then they did a fabulous patch job. After painting the areas you could not tell anything had been done to the wall! They worked quickly and professionally.

But the most important part was that he saved our house from burning down.  Our heating unit is located up in the attic.  While up there Lonny checked the outlet it was plugged in to and noticed the plug AND outlet were melting and on the verge of burning down! He took the time to replace the outlet with one that could handle the amps needed for the unit and he replaced the plug too. We are so grateful that he took it upon himself to check this out.  He also suggested installing a smoke alarm up there.  I went out to get one and he put it up for us.

We will definitely be using Flash Gordon Electric for all future wiring jobs.  Thank you Lonny!

In late November 2015, just before the Thanksgiving weekend, I needed to get an outdoor outlet installed on our house ASAP for landscaping irrigation and lighting systems, as a part of a landscaping project.  I called another five-star Yelp electrician first who never returned my call (which I only realized later that same day).  My next call was to Flash Gordon Electric, also based on great Yelp reviews, and Lonny answered my call.  After explaining what was needed, he said he'd come by shortly to have a look and give me an estimate,  He and his associate, Josh, showed up within the hour, assessed the job and made recommendations for the type of outdoor outlet that they felt would best meet the landscaping contractor's requirements for the lighting and irrigation systems which were being installed later that day.  In about two and a half hours total, the work was all completed and the outlet beautifully and expertly installed.  Our landscaping contractor was also very impressed with the speed, the outlet and the workmanship!  The fee was completely reasonable as I'd seen how much had gone into the job.  

In fact, I was so pleased that upon returning home from a trip out of town for the Holidays two days ago, we came home late from LAX to an ice palace of a house with the recent cold spell we've had and couldn't get the heater to turn on.  We knew that our old thermostat needed replacing as it hadn't been working consistently in the past year in terms of easily turning on the wall heater.  After a freezing cold night spent huddled under the covers with our two cats, I called Lonny first thing in the morning and explained the problem to him. He said though he was very busy, he sympathized so he'd be by that day around 2:00 p.m.,  He showed up right around 2:00, looked at everything and checked all relevant wiring, and he got the heater working at least for the short term, while he went out and bought a new thermostat.  He returned closer to 5:30 p.m. after being at another job site as well (which he'd told me about before he left), and he spent a good 45 minutes in total from installation of the new thermostat to testing the connections and turning the heater off and on again several times to make sure it was working.  He also checked all the wires in the heater itself to make sure they were connected properly and safe. He did suggest we also have the Gas company come out and look everything over as well as an extra precaution that everything was now working.  But the point is, he was great--just as he was before, and his fee was completely reasonable given how much time he spent to make sure the thermostat would turn on the heat. It's been working perfectly now for more than 24 hours and the cold spell continues.  So, as far as I'm concerned and based on my two experiences with Lonny, Flash Gordon is my new go-to electrician for everything.

Lonnie is good to work with.  Honest and on time.  I met him via some clients that hired him for an inspection at a property we had in escrow and have referred him to several people since then.  Honesty, timely, and reasonably priced, not sure what else you could ask for in an electrician.

This guy ran new wiring in a horribly difficult attic space for me and put up a ceiling fan, fixed some electrical issues in multiple places (light switches and outlets not working right), and installed some new exterior lights for me. I've worked with him many times. He's a fantastic guy, incredibly responsive and always explains everything in detail when I ask. Really enjoy working with him and would highly recommend him for any and all electrical concerns and needs. Prompt, quick and concise work, done right and done clean every time.

Absolutely 100% awesome!!!  I was in the middle of a bathroom remodel and the contractor didn't have a clue on how to wire in the new shower fan/light and nearly caught my house on fire.  I called Lonny (Owner of Flash Gordon Electric) based on his great Yelp reviews, and he was at my house within ten minutes ready to work.  I can't say enough good about his friendly, positive attitude.  He got the job done in a highly professional manner at a better than reasonable cost.  I without a doubt highly recommend this fine electrician.  Burbank is extremely fortunate to have Lonny working in its city.  Thank you, Thank you Lonny!!

Lonny did a whole house rewire for my new abode and I couldn't be more pleased.  When he does a job it's done right, and the whole process is efficiently communicated.  Not only does he do excellent work, but he also cares about the quality of his work to a degree which you rarely see in contractors.
I know it's not in the bid but I noticed XYZ so I fixed/replaced it, because I just couldn't leave knowing it was like that.

It's the little things that mark a quality contractor and Lonny fits the bill.   I must confess that when I started to see holes in the walls all over my house I got a bit nervous, but when all is said and done, you can't even tell where they were.

Dr. - Check!  Lawyer - Check! I can now check off Electrician so I don't need to visit the first one or the second one for that matter!

**Great prices, Great work**

These guys know what they're doing.  We needed several electrical jobs done around the house (adding recessed lighting, switching out incandescent lighting for LED, adding switches and plugs, adding outdoor lighting, etc.).  Lonny came out and gave us an estimate and recommendations on what he thought would look best based on his experience.  He didn't try to up-sell us on anything, and even recommended not doing a couple things we were considering.

He came out with three other guys and finished everything up in one day.  His employees are very polite and professional as well.  Would recommend them for any type of electrical work.

My wife and I have used Lonny twice in the past year and both times we were very happy with the results. The first instance was to set up motion-activated outdoor lights in our backyard. The second was to install two ceiling fans and fix a faulty outlet. Lonny and his assistant Josh were friendly, quick, clean, and upfront about costs and logistics. Great guys to work with. Would hire them again in a heartbeat.

Great Job at one of my Business in Valencia.
He was on-time, reliable, educated, and honest.
I will definitely use him again on all my other 6 locations electrical needs.
I just wish that he would take credit cards.

Lonny was able to come by on the same day to check out an issue my building was having with light switches. It was a bit of an electrical gremlin that took a bit longer to fix than expected. He quoted a fair price and kept to it, even though he had to return again the following day with additional parts. A solid electrician, professional, and easy going guy. Will call him again in the future for electric needs.

Suddenly two major outlets in my apartment weren't working anymore. Lonnie and and his assistant Josh came at a moments notice.  

They worked quickly to find and solve the problem, which is saying a lot since my building is 1930s and nothing has ever been updated.

Lonnie's rate was more than reasonable.  I've recommended to my building owner that she use him as the go-to electrician for future problems.

Thanks again Lonnie

Lonny was great--he responded to our call in a very timely manner and took care of a ceiling fan that had been installed incorrectly by another electrician. It works great now. The cost was very reasonable and we are very pleased with the service. Will definitely call Lonny again for our future electrical needs!

I am about to lease a commercial space in Burbank, and panicked when I saw the results of the inspection. Looked like a potential major expense to upgrade the electrical, so I scrambled to find an electrician. I found Flash Gordon on Yelp, and Lonny answered the phone. He took the time to discuss the problem, and let me know it wasn't actually a problem at all. He was generous with his time and advice, and I will be happy to call again when we need to have work done. Thanks Lonny!

Lonnie at Flash Gordon is an excellent contractor. I contacted others but was most impressed by Lonnie's solid knowledge of his trade and the suggestions he made that best accommodated my situation. He upgraded the electrical system in my 1950s SFV home, installing a 220v electrical panel and updating two existing subpanels. He also assisted me in fixing a dead line to the garage and provided room to grow that stand-alone structure at a future date, whether it be for updated garage use or remodeled as a living space. His pricing was excellent, and extremely competitive. I highly recommend Flash Gordon Electric. I was very happy with their service, work ethic, and that they honored their time commitment for the job (2 days).

Flash Gordon Electric was incredibly efficient, professional, and fast. I used another electrician previously who managed to shut down my kitchen cabinet lights and couldn't get them back on-I really like Flash Gordon's motto-Do it right the first time! He got my lights back up and running and installed 2 new fixtures as well as some great advice!

I would continue to use Flash for all my electrical needs. Thank you for the great service!

We had two light fixtures that needed to be updated in our old 1930's apartment, and I wasn't about to mess with the old wiring myself.  Enter Lonny and his assistant, who came in and replaced both in no time flat.  They were patient and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain to us what they had to do and some other potential things to consider updating in the apartment.  On top of that, for our simple problem, the cost was reasonably priced.  It's reassuring to know that we have someone to call next time we have a problem.

Lonnie is great. I had two tenants at an apartment building have part of the circuits in their individual units go off.  I called Lonnie and he was able to make an emergency call to the building to restore the power.   Lonnie knows his business and can quickly diagnose the problem.  He will be my go-to electrician for all electrical problems and installations.

Lonny just came to fix some electrical issues we were having in our 1940's home (and the wiring can be a mess!). He was quick to respond, reliable (he knows the new codes very well).  He was honest, and even stopped his clock (he sets one to know his billable hours) when he stopped to tell me a story.  He offers a lifetime guarantee on his work (not the parts, but his work).  I felt his pricing was very fair.  We will definitely use him again.

I found these guys on Yelp and they are really great.  The reviews are true.  They came right out to fix the problem.  They were very friendly and nice.  And they refused to give up even though we had a very difficult electrical problem to solve.  Best thing is, they don't charge you if they can't fix the problem.  I would definitely use them again.

I called and left a voice mail message for Lonnie in June letting him know I needed some work done around my house in Burbank sometime in July.  I never received a call back.  I see all the 5 star reviews so I don't know if he just didn't like the sound of my voice.  I hired someone else for the job.

We had some outlets out in our commercial building. They showed up when they said they would. He Diagnosed the problem and got it fixed. His pricing was great. Were going to have him doing the wiring for some CNC mills we have purchased. Id recommend them for any of your electrical needs.

I had Lonny come this spring to give me an estimate on a job. He spent a lot of time with me and laid out a lot of great options. I ended up not doing the work, but when I needed some help with rewiring a GFIC outlet this week, he was the first guy I thought of. Great service and in and out in less than a hour for $80. I will definitely be using him again.

Whenever I see a bunch of 5 star reviews, I'm always somewhat skeptical, but Flash Gordon Electric deserves every single one! Lonny was quick, effective, and even stayed to help install some new outlets - which wasn't even part of the fix! Not to mention, when we had consulted a previous electrician, they spent 2 hours finding nothing then said we needed to open the drywall. Flash Gordon? Finished the whole job (and the additional work) in under an hour! Cannot recommend them enough, and will definitely be using them in the future!

Lonny = highly recommended. Arrived right on time, knocked out the job quickly, and then when we had a change of heart in a design choice, he came back out the following day, and jumped right into it, making the change -- all with a smile. It was really appreciated. Call him. He does great work and he's a great guy.

Even though he was super busy, Lonny was able to fit me in and replace a timer switch and some of my Insteon dimmer switches that had gone bad (They work so great with my LED lights, but a few went haywire after a few years.  I think they're not completely compatible.)  He is very friendly and has a pleasant personality.  I would call him again.

Was having trouble with one leg of my power and did NOT want to play with anything near the open power lines (pre-main). Called Lonnie and even tho it was late and clear across the valley, he came out and in a couple moments he discerned that the issue was with the city's power connection. He called them and set up a visit, saving me the money I would have spent trying to DIY this thing. THEN we hung around chatting until way after dark.  I've got a new electrician. Give him a call.

Lonny with Flash Gordon Electric was wonderful.  We had an electrical issue / emergency and Lonny came to see us the same day.  He diagnosed and fixed the problem and made sure everything worked properly.  He was on time, professional and very calm.  Lonny was pleasant and very knowledgeable.  We will definitely call Lonny and Flash Gordon Electric in the future with all of our electrical needs.  His rate is reasonable, but most of all reliable.  I highly recommend.

We just had our garage rewired by Lonny and his assistant, and they did an excellent job.   Lonny is extremely experienced and takes a lot of pride in his work.   He can recommend various solutions and point out the best one to go with.    But also he will work with budget constraints and aesthetic preferences, so even if going with the best solution isn't feasible he will still be very accommodating and make sure there is 100% client satisfaction.   I will definitely recommend Flash Gordon Electric to any of my friends!

Lonny does a number of things extremely well.  Aside from being a quality electrician, he arrives on time, works all day, and cleans up when he's done.  These may seem like givens, but in my experience they're the details that separate the average from the really good.  Lonny is one of the good ones.  He (properly!) installed a new panel into my older home and installed a lamp post and light that are a joy to behold.  Prices are reasonable as well.  There's no reason to look any further.  If you have an electrical issue, call Lonny.  Now.

Lonnie is an absolute STAR! Five of them! He returned my distress call in less than 30 minutes and solved the issue over the phone! (And I had geared myself up for having to rewire half the house!) We didn't have an electrician before, but we do now, and I've already referred him to two other people. Thank you, Lonnie, you're the best!  ~Danyel

Great electrician. Replaced and upgraded my circuit breaker box after it caught fire. Dealt with the DWP as well -  which was a total pain in the ass. When the DWP finally OK'd the work to be done, Lonny got to my house early AM and worked all day to be sure I had power before nightfall. Courteous, Fast, Safe. Best electrician I have ever used.

Based on good reviews I called Flash Gordon Electric and Lonny did come right over.  Turns out the solution was literally the flip of a breaker that I should've figured out myself.  That said, to go with the flip of the breaker, Lonny had a very flip attitude.  He also brought a helper with him who Lonny seemed to be training.  All said, Lonny was here less than 10 minutes, was very condescending, told me he was charging me for a service call and since two men came out it would be a ridiculously high $80.  First of all, I didn't ask him to bring a second man and that shouldn't figure into the total price.  When I asked about his 5% yelp discount Lonny told me he normally charges $125 but the $80 was a deal.  Granted, an electrician should be compensated for their time.  BUT, lose the attitude.  Lonny was definitely gleeful at charging me so much for having to do virtually nothing AND told me how he always enjoys charging people who make stupid mistakes... for example someone had a light switch turned off and their outlet wouldn't work.  He flipped the switch and charged them an exorbitant fee as well.  All in all, not a man I would ever call again.  And not a man I would call a true professional.  Learn to treat your customers with respect and they'll be customers for a long time.  Lonny has a lot to learn.

Said he would be by in about 20 minutes and actually showed up in that amount of time.  Unfortunately the alarms stopped going off before he got here so couldn't fix the problem.  Was a great help troubleshooting the issue and offered great advice for the future if it should happen again.  Will definitely keep him on my go to list.

Ever seen an electrician cleaning up his work as he goes, vacuuming, sweeping, and straightening up?  In my entire life I had not seen such a thing either until Lonny came over to my house for some trouble shooting and rewiring.  Really friendly,  pet friendly, knowledgeable,  available after work hours, reasonable pricing.  I would recommend Lonny to anyone who is concerned about  strangers I their home and the aftermath of even minor repairs.

I called Lonny to trouble shoot some outlets that had gone out, I reached him directly and he was able to come that same day. He thoroughly tested all the outlets, and did the repairs in a very professional manor for a very fair price. He knows his stuff. I will have him back for future repairs.
