Good News Electric

We contacted Good News Electric to install a pair of outdoor lamps on the outside of our home and they did a great job with the installation!

Miguel was very professional and provided a free estimate with a written quote of the work to be done. His estimate was very fair and he was available almost immediately to start the project. Miguel and his team showed up on time and they were very thorough. They completed the installation of the lamps and had everything cleaned up in a little over 4 hours.

I will definitely use Good News Electric for any of my future electrical projects!

Miguel was highly recommended to us by a light store . He installed an art light in a difficult location (he bumped into a giant beam) and he also had to order a custom set of switches. Lastly, the actual light we installed was faulty and he repaired it ! He is very professional with fair prices. He is the best electrician I have ever used and will call him again. He did a beautiful job.
The only issue it scheduling so be flexible. He is worth waiting for.

Hello ! This is the second time you wanted to reschedule the first time I was willing to work with you. Also I was being patience to wait 2 weeks for you. Now  you want to reschedule again hello. You can't even keep your word for this appointment. I have a lot of work being done after the initial electrically work now I have to reschedule these other jobs. I don't trust you anymore nor do I want to hire you anymore. I'll hire another electrician that is more reliable and that will keep his appointment as scheduled. I'll rate this as unreliable ! Bad News ! I do recommend this company at all !

I requested quotes on Yelp from a few electricians, and most wanted to charge $120+ to just come out to the house and diagnose the problem. I guess that electricians are in high demand...

Miguel showed up and walked the property, he fixed one issue that we were having with a GFCI outlet in the garage, and it took him about 20 mins (quick). The total for that was $175. I also requested that our outdoor lighting have alterations completed, and there were some switches in the house that needed to be replaced with dimmers. He said that the entire job would be about $700, but that it was best to do a time + materials payment. I asked him what parts were needed so that I could get prices and potentially order them on Amazon. He said that he would get the parts from his supplier.

He came back to the property the next day, arriving about 20 mins late, and worked for about 2 hours. He completed the interior of the house quickly, as I had already purchased the Lutron Dimmer Switches. He then proceeded to spend about 45 minutes with a 'Smart' outlet that was supposed to control the exterior lights. The app would not download on my iPhone X and sync to the outlet, which was strange. I didn't realize that I was going to pay his $100 hourly rate while I attempted to correct the tech issues, which took about 30 mins. He then tested a few things, diagnosed an issue with our fireplace and left to another job.

I requested an invoice for the work that was completed, and those items still left to complete, and received an email with an invoice for $2,000. I cancelled the remainder of the work, and had another handyman complete everything. After I cancelled the remaining work, his final invoice to me was $504, after haggling for a few minutes over the actual time and materials that were used.

Miguel is a very good electrician, but get a firm-bid from him prior to any work getting completed.

He was able to do the repair for my sub pump that was not working . After hours time with mask and fixed the problem ...

Awesome! I had Miguel hook up my Ring floodlight about a year ago and was very happy with service. Fast forward to today we added a Ring doorbell and couldn't be happier. This time he had to make my wife happy along with me and pass in flying colors. Miguel prices are competitive and he showed a lot of patience working with us.
Job well done!

Miguel was very professional all around. His work was done in a good manner of time. He was always accessible and personable. He did important electric panel replacing and contacted the city for all things necessary. He made sure to leave the property as good or even better than before they started. I appreciate his work ethic

Run and look elsewhere!
So I need two or three wall receptacles and one outside receptacle repaired or replaced. After a msg to Good New via Yelp, I finally connect with Miguel on the phone. I start to explain what I need, he almost immediately interrupts and asks how many bedrooms, single or two story, etc etc. I answer, then he immediately states that he recommends that he go through the entire house and replace all the receptacles, and it will only cost me around $1,200.

He never took the time to listen to my problem and why I called. He has no idea what year this house was built, whether the receptacles I need replacing are in the garage/house/other, are they recently installed and went bad, or hmm, any of several questions I would expect he ask.

No, he simply and immediately attempts to sell me something I don't need for a quick $1,200.

Look elsewhere. My suspicion is you'll be taken for a ride here. He may do a good job, not sure, but he'll likely get a good chunk of your money, much of which you may not need to spend. What he won't get is my business. I don't recommend him for yours. I suspect he may take advantage of those that he can.

Had my buddy Miguel come out to fix another out let for my garage disposal. Pricey but he got the work done. Thanks for coming out fast lat at night on a Saturday

I only communicated with Miguel through a couple texts to have him work in my Mom's new home and I already knew he was professional and super nice! Unfortunately, he only had free time slots when I worked but I knew my mom was in good hands.

According to my mom, Miguel and his employee were very kind and professional and they made sure everything was perfect. They were even nice enough to hang some things for me :)

When I came home, I was more than happy with Miguel's work! I am very OCD and anal and the two big tv's that were hung were done PERFECTLY.

I recommend Miguel and his team to everyone!

Good news Electric was able to come to our home quickly, make a quick assessment of our intercom situation and make a quick repair. This saved us thousands over having to install a new system. Now that's what I call living up to your name. Thanks Miguel!!

Professional and amazing work. Would highly recommend.Miguel is friendly and professional and gives you great advice and consultation to get the best results. Very happy customer.

I've been really busy with life, and Miguel was there to make things happen quickly. The project was a set of lights I had installed a year prior, where one was not operating. We wanted to add a set of lights to the front of the garage as well. He completed the repair immediately on the lights that were already up in a few minutes and came back a week later to install the new lights. They are amazing. We are so happy with his crew and their service. More projects to come in the future. Great prices!!

They did a great job a on a small fan install including problem solving with placement issues due to house framing.

I would hire again.

I am so grateful to Miguel. We were on a time crunch with our repairs, and he came out the same day - free of charge -  to diagnose and repair the electrical issues in the house. He explained everything thoroughly, ensuring I understood the scope of his job. He is very quick to respond, very patient, and works quickly. I will definitely use him in the future and am really glad with the work.

Called Good News Electric due to reviews on yelp, I had a switch that shorted out my circuit breaker when plugged in my electrical accessory.  Miguel came out and changed the circuit breaker but not the switch that I plugged into that cause the shortage. He suggested me change out all my switches in my home I rejected the $3,000 job but allow him to change my lights and the circuit breaker as well all the job cost over $300.00. The very next day I plugged in my accessory and the same thing happen, the circuit breaker blew again. I called Miguel and told him what happen and ask how come he didn't change the switch that I was plugging my accessory into along with the circuit breaker?  I wasn't given a good answer but told me it would cost additional $200 to come back to change the plug. I was so mad that he did not guarantee his work and wanted to charge for coming to correct the problem. I told him I would not pay $200 and he finally agreed in $100.00 but there's no way I should have been charged additional money for a job not done right.  I would not suggest this company it wasn't Good News for me!!!

Miguel came over that same afternoon/evening and was able to diagnose and repair various issues we had in the house. He was fair and very knowledgeable about what it could be and was able to quickly and accurately diagnose the issue. Did not try to sell us stuff we didn't need and explained everything the entire time he was working at our house. Come from the auto industry (as a technician) it was great to deal with someone that was professional, honest, and good at his job! Thanks again Miguel!!! We highly recommend!

If you need an electrician, Good News Electric is a great choice!  Miguel did a great job fixing my outlets, which had been damaged by moisture and were out of date.  He changed out the old ones, routed a new one, and made suggestions for improvements around the house.  He does good work and responds very quickly to calls.  His pricing is reasonable and I liked that he worked with my schedule and left his work area clean after completing the work.  After the initial job he came back to install my ceiling fan and offered to help with the range hood that had just been delivered that day, again quoting me a fair price on the spot.  I am really thankful to have found him through Yelp!

Miguel did a thorough job and was very good at setting up a convenient appoint time that was best for me. I needed a 50 amp double pole breaker Gfci breaker replaced that kept tripping when I ran my spa heater. To my surprise, Miguel showed me that the breaker was wired incorrectly with the ground wire not screwed into the breaker....which really provide no ground fault protection to the spa. This was like this for over 20 years originally installed incorrectly by the spa company. Miguel, thank you for not only fixing the problem, but actually making the circuit safe for use, Highly recommended,

Goods news Electric is awesome Miguel & his crew are awesome people. He installed Ring Spotlight camera for me, great price great work  great customer service. I'll be hiring him again for future projects I Have in mind  don't hesitate to call him for your electrical needs

Miguel is super cool to work with.  He knows his business. Works on details.  I can always get a hold of him.  beyond competitive pricing he is also reliable.

I just needed an extra outlet put in my garage for a freezer. Miguel came over when we agreed, gave me an estimate and installed it very quickly. I had been dragging my feet on getting the outlet installed but had I known how quickly Miguel could install it I would have called weeks ago. I would definitely use Good News Electric again!

Look no further. Miguel from Good News Electric is our new go-to electrician. I had a response via Yelp with 30 minutes or so. Communication was great, he was early for our appointment and he was very informative. The service call was $120 (plus parts and tax) and gave us economical options. Also provided quotes for future work.
Another great Yelp find!

Very professional and timely. Installed x2 one-way smart dimmer switches that work seamlessly with google assistant. In addition, advised about 3-way dimmer option for future upgrades. Unfortunately, 3-way smart dimmer (martin jerry brand) will not be released until Q12019. No fault of Good News Electrical. I would call again for future electrical work. I highly recommend!

Excellent work and very nice, neat job.  Miguel not only was very competitive with his rate, but he performs a very high quality level of work.  I'm excited to have him come back and take care of future projects for me.

Highly recommend Miguel came fixed my problem in rapid time. Fair price good work showed up early and on time

Miguel was referred to me by my grand daughter for electrical outlets that didn't work and repaired my fuse box. excellent and very reasonable. I referred him to my aunt Dolores as she needed a Ceiling Fan replaced. Miguel went to her home right away and completed the job including other electrical fixtures. Aunt Dolores was impressed and with not only his work but his price and communication skills. Very patient man with kindness. Thank you again Miguel

I found Miguel online and hired him today to help me switch out an old hard-wired stove into a three prong outlet for my new range. Can't thank him enough. I called, set up an appointment (after he went over an estimate with me) and a now the work is done. I'm really happy with the quality of the work and his professionalism. Definitely would recommend him. I'm most likely going to have him return to do some other work for me.

Miguel came out to diagnose a power issue we were having. He solved the problem, ran two new dedicated lines, replaces two melted and a few older breakers, and fixed some things a previous electrician had done improperly. Miguel knows what he is doing an he does it very well and very efficiently. I highly recommend!

5 star experience for sure. After power went out in part of our living room and stairs and the circuit breaker would not reset, I yelped a local electrician and found Miguel at Good News Electric. Called him at 6PM and he asked me if I wanted him to come by right now. I sure did. 15 minutes later, he was knocking on my front door. He said he was an expert troubleshooter and he was not lying. Through process of elimination, he found the problem. Sloppy wiring job by the original electrical contractor. He fixed this quick and was gone but not before he gave me recommendations for new LED light bulbs throughout the house. Miguel was responsive, quick, honest and I will call him again for sure.

Miguel was awesome... very thorough figuring out why my kitchen appliances all lost power. He found the problem quickly and fixed even quicker than that. Glad to have found an honest reliable electrician.

Highly recommend Good News Electric. Messaged over Yelp and received a quote the same day. Scheduled for Miguel to arrive two days later. We had him install 3 hanging pendants that were on our tall slanted ceilings. He did it in just about an hour with no issues. He even dealt with a manufacturing issue of one of the lights that made it too short--was able to fix it using supplies from another light and you can't tell the difference.

Miguel was great at helping set up my doorbell video camera after the original installation tech couldn't get power to it. He came the same day I called him, was patient and very professional. I would highly recommend and will use for any future electrical needs.

Miguel was speedy to response. Came over the next day and fixed my outside receptacles. Very knowledgeable and efficient. Will do business again. Thanks!

Quick response and arrived promptly to do the job.
Miquel even offered to do touch up painting after replacing a light fixture in kitchen at a reasonable price. Will definitely use Good News Electric again.

Miguel came out prompt and on time every time. I needed a dedicated plug for my electric car in the garage. He helped me brain storm on placement of receptacle box for easy access and for future usage. Miguel went above and beyond what I was expecting, he cut the drywall clean and placed it back without noticing it was opened. He was also nice and professional and did the work fast wth high quality.

Miguel was very polite on the phone. He came to my house right away to do a quote (which was fairly priced). I agreed to the price and he started the work right away. He installed 3 very detailed chandelier lights, put two dimmer switches on and even did a couple extra things (put hardware handles on cabinet & cover up holes in wall). He also switched out two bulbs to LED for me on a high ceiling above my staircase. He did a meticulous job and I would definitely recommend him!

We had a great experience with this company. All of the workers were extremely professional and considerate. They were on time everyday and worked non-stop through the day. We had a very large job to complete and the end result was perfect. We needed extensive drywall and stucco work done after removing an air conditioner and it looked great when the work was done. Miguel was very accommodating and his prices are reasonable.

I'm so glad I contacted Good News Electric. Miguel and Jose were such a pleasure to have working in my home for three days. I purchased an older home that had a lot of electrical issues to repair and Good News knock out all the problems. They put my TVs on the wall with wires inside, lighting in garage, a light in my closet, placed my AT&T boxes on a closet shelf instead of taking up all the floor where they could get damaged.  They even did a beautiful job of patching the walls, even the holes left by the plumber. Miguel was so professional and nice I felt comfortable having him work in my home, he even fixed some things just because he noticed a problem with them. They went above and beyond helping me with my electrical and drywall issues. They even took out a doggie door and had a stucco person come out and repair the outside wall. Lastly I felt Miguel's prices were very reasonable. Thank you  for everything.

Miguel (the owner) was fantastic and super friendly! I requested a quote from his company and he replied within 30 minutes. My wife then later called him, discussed our situation and he was over at the house within 20-30 minutes from the end of that phone call. He troubleshot and fixed the issue along with replacing a couple of bad outlets within an hour. Thanks Miguel!

Thank you so much Miguel!!!! Miguel was very nice and professional and knowledgeable...repaired my two outlets right away when I needed it the most since my renters were moving in soon.

My gf and I moved into a new house not knowing why our backyard lights and fountain were not working. They work during our inspection but not when we moved in. Viewing Yelp to see who can help, and Good News Electric was on the top of the list. A quick message to Miguel prompted an immediate response and he was over soon after. Miguel knows his trade, quickly determining how my house was wired. It took him only an hour to figure out the problem- a faulty exterior outlet with a circuit breaker feeding a power junction box. After replacing the breaker, our lights in our backyard beamed and showed the true beauty of our trees in darkness. Our fountain came to life; the masterpiece to our backyard. Miguel even helped us fix a fan in one of our bathrooms. Regardless of the complexity of your issues, Miguel will be there promptly, no matter the time to help you out. Master of his trade and A true professional, he's the best choice if you are seeking an electrician.

Miguel is amazing and does outstanding work! I had a wonderful experience and we are very happy with the work that was done. We already have them scheduled for more work and would highly recommend to anyone requiring his service! Miguel and his team are clean, courteous, professional, knowledgeable and punctual! We are highly satisfied with Miguel and his company I can't wait to have them back in our home.

Miguel was prompt in providing quote and he has the best rates. We needed to install 240v outlet and level 2 charger for our electric car. He completed the job within 2-3 hours and he even went above and beyond to make sure I'm happy with the result. I asked for his contractor ID and insurance card and verified his information with Contractors License Board. He's the guy to hire for your electrical needs.

Good New bought a fan at Home Depot that I found out after I was presented with a bill that that the electrician claimed he was charged a substantial surplus because of his sale license  by Home Depot.  This was a material fact that he should have informed me about so that I could buy the fan myself without needlessly paying a surcharge.

I can't say enough about Mr Miguel of Good News Electric.  I can tell u all this, i was at my wits about getting my electrical problems fixed.  1st electrican charged me $400 for 1 hrs worth of trouble shooting & repair which was incorrect & noted i needed to upgrade my utility box to 200 amps.  2nd electrician didn't except AMX charge card but also had gone inside my house and said my problems were a short in the wire, would have to go thru entire house for troubleshooting & rewiring.   Finally Miguel had to be called for 3rd service call, in which he saw the problem right away.  And even though i give all electricans the same history information to help them solve the problem,  only Miguel was able to go straight to the source.  It was the the weather feeder & aluminum wire coming from SDG&E that was causing me to have shorts.  Breakers weren't even poping anymore.  Thx u Miguel,  i was in tears till u came & your pricing was reasonable & your service A1.  Thx u very much.  Ms Moeller.

A bit pricey provided me a quote of 95/hr and fixed my hood for 1 and a half hour and made me pay $190 but overall awesome clean job.

I found Good News Electric on Yelp. When I called Miguel he picked up the phone immediately. I explained the electrical issue I was having in the Master Bedroom bathroom.  Within 10 minutes, Miguel identified, fixed and showed/explained the issues we were having.  I must say, Miguel is truly and expert in his trade and if you want something done immediately and correct the first time give Good News Electric a call.  You will not be disappointed!  I would definitely and highly recommend Miguel to get electrical job done.

Cheapest rates in town with A+ service.. Miguel is awesome. He is very informative and is honest. Availability was perfect and he showed up on time. 100% recommended

Miguel is a true professional. He is very responsive. He pays attention to the detail

Good News Electric did a great job with wiring and installing a ceiling fan.  They were on time  and very courteous.  I would definitely recommend them.

Miguel was able to accommodate the day we needed him to come.  His prices were reasonable and was very courteous letting us know he was running a few minutes late.  Super fast and accommodating.  Will be calling again for future projects.

Miguel was on point, knowledgable, in and out quickly. Would I call on Good News again, of course!

Excellent customer service in an emergency situation after hours and at a reasonable price! No longer in the dark. Miguel is knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommended.

Miguel and his team are awesome! He's done 4 projects for us now thru the years and will be our electrician for life. Can't imagine using anyone else again. On time, very neat work, high quality, cleans up immaculately and is reasonably priced.

Miguel came out late on a Friday night to help me with a electrical mystery...my kitchen lights just went out all at once!  He was quick to figure out the issue...faulty light switch, replaced the switch, checked all the lights and outlets in the kitchen to make sure no other problems.  Such a nice man, reasonably priced and knows his stuff!

We have used Good News Electric for several jobs both big and small, installing a very large ceiling fan, installing a living room tv with the wires hidden out of sight through a wall conduit, and installing lights and electrical sockets and re-routing electrical wiring in the garage for a drywall job! Miguel and Angel have done the work every time with speed and efficiency and always leaving everything clean and looking and working great! Miguel has always given a fair, detailed and accurate quote for the work before hand, and always delivered!

I have used Miguel for a few years and was excited that he started his own business.  He is very competent, cheerful and has great ideas.  His assistants are well versed in the trade and have other assorted skills. He has done every thing from new circuits, powered vent fans, lighting, et.al. Highly recomend Miguel for small repairs, complete start up installs, new projects and upgrades.  All around craftsman. Very happy.

I recently hired Miquel to install several ceiling fans and to also inspect and fix an antique ceiling fixture that had been leaking for years whenever it rained. He did all jobs very professionally. He was always on time and he always cleaned up any mess that he made by doing the job.  On another job it turned out that a wall had to be removed . He was able to do the electrical and the drywall, plus taping plus painting.
I didn't need to find other workers to do those jobs. His work is impeccable . Now I am having him install a gate opener. I don't think there is anything that he can't handle and every job has been done 100% to my satisfaction. That really is good news.

Miguel has completed several different projects for me. Some were small, and some were large. He does great work, and gets it done fast. I had an emergency situation one night, and he showed up at 10 p.m...that's commitment. He has a great personality, and I consider Miguel a friend. You can trust he can handle any job, and will do it for a great price. Don't hesitate to give him a call. You'll be glad you did.

Miguel is phenomenal!!!! Hard working, industrious, honest and a pleasure to work with.  No task is too complicated or too small. He provides excellent communication and service!!! He's the best!!!!

Home Depot provided me three companies that would contact me to provide me an estimate on installing a ceiling fan.   Miguel was the only one to actually call (the other two will be receiving Yelp reviews also, except not as positive).  Since I had the ceiling fan and the bracket was already in place he gave me his hourly rate.  Eventually I was going to add a second ceiling fan to a spare bedroom I asked his estimatation on that.  The estimates were reasonable, so I told him I would like to get both done.  I was figuring next week some time would be the appointment.  He told he could get them both done today.  This was a Friday afternoon, so was a little surprised he was willing to work late afternoon into the early evening.  He came as promised and finished by 7:30 pm.  He customer service and workmanship was par none.  He offers suggestions on how to improve the jobs being done.  He suggested a dimmer and fan speed control to replace the on/off fan switch on the wall in the spare bedroom to remove the need to use the chains on the ceiling fan.  Wife really liked that idea.  Both jobs came under his estimation, which was pleasing to me.  Definitely someone I will be wanting to come back for any additional jobs I need to have done.  Give him a call and a chance.  You won't be disappointed.
