I am a first time home buyer and know virtually nothing about electrical work and Bryant and Terrance have helped make my house safe as well as have been very kind and explanatory about what they are working on so that I know exactly what I am paying for and what service I am receiving. I am so grateful to have found electricians I can trust and call up any time I need help. I look forward to our next project together!

I had a great experience with these guys! I appreciated them coming out so quickly. I did some major remodeling last yr which resulted in two ceiling lights not installed since the general contractor couldn't figure out how to install the lights without a switch. His solution was to install the lights but I'd never be able to turn them off! HandyLectric came out and expertly diagnosed how the wiring was connected. They found a perfect solution to link the two lights and installed a new switch. These guys know what they're doing. What a relief! Thank you for the excellent service. I'll call again next time my home or business needs some work.

I needed a quick repair for a bathroom outlet. Jeremy was able to schedule me for an appointment the next morning. Brian and Terrence arrived promptly on time. (I appreciated they offered to take their shoes off in the house!) I know nothing about electrical work so it was great that Brian took the time to explain what he was doing, point out different parts of the work, and share his assessment before starting the repair. I'm really satisfied with Handylectric and looking to have further work done!

I had some unexpected time available off work and a couple of projects at home I'd been postponing.  I was happy to see they were able to fit me in the next day and not only fixed the problem, but identified (and showed me) a very serious issue that they were able to resolve on the spot.

The Handylectric team has performed multiple jobs at my house and each one was flawless. Most recently, they upgraded my electrical panel and also installed new conduit and wiring for an offset riser on the corner of my house. The project was a pretty serious one because the previous owners of my home had done electrical work that wasn't up to code, causing me a lot of stress. But the Handylectric team fixed those mistakes. The job was done efficiently and with high quality, and now I feel much more secure in my home. I would definitely recommend them and will be calling them again if I ever need additional work at my house.

I would wholeheartedly hire Handy Electric again for any electrical issues.  Francisco and Rodrigo were quick and extremely helpful.  Jeremy was quick to respond to my estimate.

Reliable, quick and efficient.  I have no complaints at all.  Definitely recommend Handy Electric for any electrical issues.

Handylectric was very helpful in connecting new outlets and switches in my half bathroom, as well as diagnosing a weird wiring situation on my breaker panel. I noticed the problem on Saturday and it was fixed by Monday at lunch time due to their great response time.

I normally handle minor electrical stuff like switch and fixture changes myself, but during a DIY remodel I couldn't get the breaker to fully cut power. The minute I got zapped by a still-live wire, I decided to call in the pro's. Turns out that one room's wiring is split across two breakers.

They advised me that they could do the extra work at the panel but it wasn't totally necessary from a safety perspective. I appreciated their quick work and candid explanation of what was worth my money. I will not hesitate to call them for future projects.

We had a electrical issues in one bedroom. When we decided to search for an electrician it was incredibly difficult. Many failed to show up to appts or simply respond.

We reached out to Handylectric via yelp and Jeremy responded right away. We we're able to schedule a service date that week. On our service date Jeremy contacted us to confirm our appt and informed us Norbertho would call us when he was nearby. Norbertho was awesome .... he showed up ready to go. He was able to identify and explain the issue which we appreciated as new homeowners. He was quick and efficient and very nice. Will definitely use them again in the future

We had lights and a bathroom fan that had to be installed in various parts of the house. Jeremy and the team were very responsive in scheduling the appointment. They were consistently up-front with pricing throughout the entire process, and they were extremely helpful in consultation during the entire project. Despite a small hiccup of them coming late two days in a row and leaving more dust than was expected in between the days, we will definitely be using them again as Jeremy is running a great company and we trust their work. Would definitely recommend!

These electricians were excellent. They answered our phone call right away, truly asked several questions in order to get the right idea about what was going on, and we set up an appointment for the following day. We had to change the time and they were very accommodating and PUNCTUAL. They arrived right when they said they would. Their prices were reasonable and they took the time to explain what was going on. They did their best to work with our very old wiring. In the future, we are going to have to replace our wiring and we will 100% be calling them to do the job. I especially appreciated the fact that they took the time to talk to us about what they were doing and why and did so in lingo we could understand. Call these guys if you have an electrical problem, hands down.

Good price, good work!

Asked for a hanging ceiling fixture to be installed, got a fixed quote, they arrived on time and had everything done within a few hours. Made a bit of a mess, but drywall's gonna drywall.

Would have liked to have them handle the drywall patch work too, but it wasn't offered.

The team was super responsive and let me know via text that they were running late from a prior job. We had them install 2 wall lights in our over 100 year old house with plaster and lathe walls.  I love supporting businesses located in the neighborhood and will hire them again for other small electrical tasks.

Just a super solid experience working with these guys. Jeremy and Norberto are sweet, good hearted and funny dudes that know their stuff. We needed electrical to be run out to our backyard and they came quickly and finished on time. They also set a rate that they stuck to and always let us know how we could save money as we were on a tight budget. Stoked to have a great electrician!

Jeremy and Luis were awesome! They replied to my texts and showed up within the time frame they gave. We had them over to diagnose and fix some dead lights. The wiring in our house is chaos, but they worked quickly and got them working in a reasonable time.
We were so happy with their work we asked them to come back a couple days later and give us estimates for some other repairs and new fixtures. That morning, Jeremy texted well in advance to let us know he would be a bit late, and texted his ETA when he was certain of the time; he arrived at the given ETA. (This seems like a basic thing but most other contractors we've worked with showed up late with no notice.)
Part of the estimate was to fix a closet light. To give the estimate he needed to take down the fixture. Because it was a simple fix, he ended up making the repair at no charge!
He told us how he figures the pricing on the other things, so I have a good sense of what other similar tasks might cost.  This transparency and openness increased my level of trust.
They were always friendly, and showed up wearing masks due to COVID and kept them on at all times.
We'll definitely be using them for any and all future electrical needs at our house.

Jeremy sent his crew of John and Jeremy out on the day that I called to fix our ceiling fan.
They got the job done right away, and charged a shockingly low price!
We'll be calling them again.
It's always great to support a business right here in Highland Park.

You know what I love more than getting great service? Finding honest businesses that actually try to help you with simple issues without even having to come out.  I contacted Handy Electric via Yelp for a fuse breaker that was stuck and instead of coming out and having to charge me a service fee, they offered to help me fix it by walking me through it instead.  Who does that nowadays??? This company did & only one other one out of the 1/2 dozen I contacted.  

Anyway, I didn't need your services this time I will definitely be keeping you in mind for future needs!

Had a really good experience with them. Jeremy is nice and accommodating. Hired him to bring electricity into my detached garage. He and Bryant were prompt (unfortunately a rare thing in this industry, I've learned), knowledgeable, and efficient. I'll definitely be calling them back with any other electrical needs.

The dimmer on our kitchen lights blew out on a Sunday evening during quarantine. We called HandyLectric and the owner picked up and even arranged for someone to come out the very next day. We were very hopeful. Two of their guys showed up on time, were pleasant and professional and since they didn't have the exact dimmer on their truck we ordered it online. They hooked up an on/off switch for us to use until our new one arrived. They spent roughly 40 minutes at our house and presented us a check for $300! They did say it would include their follow up to install the dimmer after I gasped. Still, I suggest you get a quote if you can up front and know they have a two hour minimum. They did come to install the new dimmer a few days later but that blew within the week. They came back to see why the new dimmer blew and told us we had too many watts of bulbs on our system so we finally called our old electrician who is usually too busy with commercial projects but since most businesses are closed right now he came over a few hours later. He told us exactly how to fix the high wattag (by replacing a few bulbs with LEDs), installed another new dimmer and charged us $40 total.

Although they got what we needed done at my workplace, getting power on a different panel to a different room..the process left more to be desired. First off it was a teaching experience where the main electrician was teaching the others how to do things like.. you don't drill through drywall, you take a hammer to it and which tools to use for what etc. I guess no one taught them that you don't stand on someones table to get to the ceiling which one of them did and broke our table (pics included)  Maybe you would like to say the table was already flimsy, or it looks sturdy enough to stand on.. You just don't do that! It's not professional. What you do is move the table and use the ladder. Next, everything was sort of left in a mess. They drilled holes and hammered the wall and just left it. Ceiling panels were taken off  & not put back. The pictures tell you everything. Everyone else seems to have had a great experience. Us.. not so much. Sorry.

Breaker box died, called and Jeremy had someone out to the house within 30 minutes.  Worked out a temporary solution until they had permits and everything was done to get our mom's house back with power.
His guys were very friendly and knowledgeable. They were professional and cleaned up after themselves.
I will be having them back on other projects in the future.

The first time we called Jeremy we were in a pinch to help us with our microwave in the kitchen. He came out the same day and was very reasonably priced.

Fast forward 9 months, we called up Jeremy again to talk recess lighting. David and Joe were on time, super cool and cleaned up after a full day of work. Couldn't have asked for better professional workmanship from these guys. HIGHLY recommended. You won't be disappointed!!

Not entirely sure how to rate these guys. They picked up the call, had a guy over to my place in 20 minutes which is what they quoted and the electrician couldn't have been nicer, clean and more professional...

The thing is: after 2 hours and $150 later, they still couldn't figure out my power issue so back to square one.

In all fairness, the owner spoke to me on the phone and told me they would work with me next time (if) they come back. They suggested an upgrade to 200 which is probably what I need. Just another cost.

Just got an EV and Jeremy and his team helped me plan and execute my charging setup. Jeremy did a great job communicating as we planned for the estimate visit, and was a pleasure to work with. He didn't try to upsell me on what needed to be done, and we ended up with a plan that cost thousands less than some of the other estimates that I received. When it came to getting the work done, his guys were on time, quick, and professional. Thanks Jeremy!

I met Jeremy, the owner of HandyLectric, when he came to my garage sale. He was funny & a good storyteller. Typically, I do not hire my contractors on the basis of their jokes, but I needed an electrician.

To make a long story short, Jeremy is one of the best contractors I have ever worked with!

I have two very old houses that need tons of maintenance. As a result I have worked with every single person on Jeremy's crew. To a person they are all incredibly diligent & careful electricians who prioritize customer safety.

Jeremy & his crew are also really nice people. Extra special shout outs to Jeremy Jr. who came over to my house on CHRISTMAS EVE to fix the power line to the koi pond pump so all our fish wouldn't die, & to Bryant who had to work extra hard to upgrade my house from a 99 year old death trap to a home that had wiring to support modern conveniences like air conditioning & solar panels.

Great service today from Kevin and his crew. They figured out a tricky problem with a switch and plugs that weren't working in my bathroom. They were
prompt and courteous. HIGHLY recommend.

UPDATE May 2019 -- Jeremy JR (his dad runs the company) came out yesterday and did an obsessively wonderful job of fixing something that it turned out was supposedly fixed by Kevin and his crew mentioned earlier -- and fixed several other wiring things as well! I called Jeremy Sr to discuss, because Jeremy Jr had said the company stands by its work.  And the first thing J Sr said was, Well we owe you some money! -- a refund for what I had paid for Kevin's work. No debate, no questions, but a sincere desire to make things right as a business person and as a Mt Washington resident (where I live too). I asked him if I could have the money as a credit on some other work done because I appreciated his attitude so much and the work that J Jr did yesterday. I recommend Handy Lectric even more highly than Indid before!

They came out to wire an outlet/electrical box to the ceiling, so we could have a hanging light fixture in our living room which previously had none. I got a very quick response to my yelp text with the owner and a rough estimate via text--which most electricians/ companies don't seem to want to do these days! The guys that came were very friendly and got right to work. I was warned they might need to punch a hole or two in the wall to run the wiring to the existing switch, but when I asked them to see if they could work around that, they had no problem putting in the extra time and effort into getting it done without any holes needing to be opened up in the wall. I'm extremely happy with the job they did and would recommend them to any of my neighbors in need of a good and honest electrician. I will be calling on them again for sure if I have any other electrical needs.

I'm extremely happy I was able to find a locally owned company right in my neighborhood. These guys are fantastic and prices are very reasonable. Electrical work is very technical and you need licensed contractors doing the job. Before I hired HandyLectric, I got another estimate from an electrician who told me I didn't need to permit any of the work I wanted to do. That really bugged me and felt super shady since electrical work is no joke to mess with. So, I decided to fully upgrade my old, out of date electrical panel to a 200 amp panel and wiring with HandyLectric.

Jeremy, the owner, will guide you thru the initial steps of how to get a meter spot with the city, applying for the permit, etc etc. Jeremy, Keagan and staff are very focused and work very hard to get the job done quickly but done to code. They will also meet with the electrical inspector to make sure everything goes smoothly and passes inspection. Now, I'm ready to use them again to install recessed lighting in the house. I feel safe that I completely have enough electrical power that's done right to put new lighting in the house. They even thought ahead and added spare wires to the additional circuits I had them install because I will add another freezer and wine refrigerator for downstairs. Those appliances all need their own circuits and there was absolutely no way my old panel would handle that load. Now I don't have to go outside in the morning to flip the breaker when my toaster, coffeemaker and microwave are on at the same time.

Btw, they all wear masks and are very clean with anything they have to do inside the house.  Thanks much guys for all your work!

Jeremy has fixed several wiring issues in my house over the last few months.  During the last one -- a short caused by wiring near my fireplace -- he discovered that a bad main breaker was causing my breaker panel to literally melt.  He recommended an upgrade to 200A service (this was confirmed by a separate electrician from my home warranty company).  My home inspector and another electrician that had done work earlier had missed this and we are glad Jeremy caught it -- it was a hazardous situation. They performed the upgrade in one day and took care of all the permitting at a very competitive cost.

Jeremy and his crew have also installed a number of lighting fixtures in my house.  Their work is thorough and clean and I can't recommend them enough!

I needed some help installing an outdoor GFCI outlet and gave HandyLectric a call. Jeremy was super prompt in returning my request, came out for a free consolation, and then finished all the work later that afternoon. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing electrical service, and I will definitely go back to them in the future. Not to mention, they are a local, family owned business.

We just used this company again for additional work and it was defiantly another positive experience.  Jeremy showed up on time and went over the project and gave us an estimate that worked for our budget.  The guy on his crew Kevin finished the project in a fast and efficient way.  Both guys were professional and friendly.  We will be sure to continue to use them for all our electrical projects.

Jeremy installed a new 200-amp service on our home and did a number of other jobs -- install a few outlets, replace switches, etc.

He was great. His bid was very competitive, he walked us through the permitting process, even accompanying me to LADBS, and obviously we were happy with the work.

I also feel he went above and beyond in several ways, like offering to return at a later date free of charge to install an outdoor outlet in a already existing box, and tracking down a drywall guy when the guy we'd originally contracted to do some patching was a no-show.

Two other things that he has that plenty of other contractors lack: 1) He was always on time and always showed on days he said he'd show; 2) He cleaned up after himself when the job was done.

Will definitely be using him for any and all future electrical needs at our house.

Last night had some of my sockets stop working. Part of it was in my kitchen and my entire room in the family room. Called around and spoke with Jeremy who talked me through it first to see if I even needed an electrician to come out and save me some money. After figuring out that one of the breakers was done he still managed to fit me in during the morning and gave me a very good price. He even told me about my old board and how it needs to be replaced with some great advice. I definitely would go with them again if needed. They are a great family company and honest along with a great price.

I found Handy Lectric using Yelp. I live in the Highland Park neighborhood of LA, in a really old bungalow-style house I purchased a few years ago. Jeremy, Brian and the rest of the crew worked on removing some old knob and tube wiring in the attic that turned out to be pretty dangerous and a potential fire hazard. Their prices turned out to be very reasonable compared to several other companies I checked out. Very professional, reliable and all-around cool guys. They got the job done quickly and went the extra mile to make sure it was done right. I was also happy to discover that a few of them happen to live near me and that I can call on them if any other electrical issues/small fix-it jobs come up in this old house. They are a solid and trustworthy company that does great work. I plan on using them for a long time to come.

Jeremy and his team did a 200-amp panel upgrade and complete rewire on our 55-year-old house.  They brought everything up to code and even took care of the permits and inspections to make sure everything was properly documented.  At every step, they went the extra mile for us: making sure the work was done right, that we were happy with the results, and even coming out in the middle of the night once to cover up an open wall when it was forecasted to rain!  I could not be happier with the work HandyLectric did for us and I strongly recommend their services.

After receiving several quotes from various electricians, I chose HandyLectric because I received a speedy reply and Jeremy was great communicating cost and any additional work and cost that could arise during the project. We scheduled a Saturday job and his crew came out even a little earlier then expected and got right to work. We had 3 ceiling fans installed and they look great!!! Their work was clean and flawless and price was on point. Also, super sweet guys! We will definitely use them again and would happily refer to any of our neighbors and friends!

If you want someone who is very communicative and easy to get ideas and info across, Jeremy is for you. We had a great first meeting and estimate with Jeremy. In the end, our particular job required a different contractor simply for logistical reasons, but we have no doubt that Jeremy could have done the job flawlessly. He had a thorough and knowledgeable expertise, was pleasant, helpful, and an excellent problem-solver. Again, our reason for not using him was purely logistical and we fully intend to use Jeremy in the future.

Last Friday, I had HandyLectric come out and look at a few lights that weren't working in our kitchen and bathroom.  They suggested the issue was the ballasts and suggested removing the lights and replacing with LED cans to avoid future ballast problems and save money with LEDs.  So far, so good, as I think this was good advice.  They posed this as a reasonable and easy replacement, but said nothing more about the process or work involved in doing that switch other than (1) to say it would take 2-3 hours and cost $100 per can, (2) that they would like to tell us what color light we preferred in the meantime, and (3) that they would be here at 8am this Friday.  The men were in and out quickly, saying they had to work on another job and the other crew wasn't available to handle the work that day.  Again, this all seemed fine and we were so far pleased with the professionalism, even if it meant taking another day off of work.

Today (Friday) at 8:15 (15 minutes after they should have arrived), I receive a voicemail from Jeremy at Handylectric to see if they can send out the workers and go over a couple of things.  I call right back and, at that point, I'm told that the work will involve removing the ballasts by ripping up the ceiling stud-to-stud, work that they would not patch, something that he wanted to make sure I realized.  I did not, in fact, realize that.  While I understand they're electricians not painters/plasterers, obviously if they had fully explained the work ahead when they proposed it last Friday, I could have arranged for other contractors to come to patch (perhaps seeking a recommendation from them), or sought a company that could do both (which certainly exists, since I've already discussed it with other electricians).  I am not an electrician or a contractor and thus had no familiarity with what would be involved in the work when proposed; when it was put to me as a 2-3 hour straightforward job, I assumed that, at the end of that, I would have attractive and efficient LED lighting without accompanying holes in my ceiling.  

When I asked why the full scope of the work (especially the holes that would not be patched) was not explained to me in advance, Jeremy at first said this was why he was glad he talked to me before sending the guys over.  I said this was unacceptable given that it was a week after the guys initially looked at the lights and after the time they should have arrived on a day where I'd obviously already taken off work without having the opportunity to make other arrangements to have my ceiling patched.  Jeremy then claimed that the man who came last Friday HAD told me the ceiling would be opened but not patched.  This wasn't true, as both my wife and I can attest.  Nor would it make sense that (1) I was so surprised by it today if I had been told or (2) Jeremy would need to tell me about it again on the day he was supposed to be sending the guys to my house since he would have already known that I fully understood the process.

Thus, while I thought the price was good and initially was happy with the professionalism of the men who visited last Friday, today's response (and attempt to retroactively cover for their prior incomplete explanation) means I will be finding a different company to do the work.

Jeremy and the guys at Handylectric are great. I had some old faulty wiring in my house that was leading to some frustrating issues, and Jeremy was able to problem solve, figure out the issue, and then rewire what was causing the issues - all for a fair price. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone!

Jeremy and his crew were GREAT. They showed up when they said they would, worked collaboratively with my plumber, and were reasonably priced. God is good!

I had many small jobs requiring painting, ceiling repair, mounting and electric work. Jeremy inspected and gave a detailed and reasonable estimate. Once scheduled the team fixed everything as planned and did a complete and thorough job, doing some modifications and additional small fixes along the way. Thanks!

Great service from HandyLectric. Quick to get someone on the phone, from there Jeremy was good at listening to my couple of problem areas and finding ways to help.  One was a more immediate issue and they were able to come out in the timeline I needed (an outlet was dead and the fix needed to be hunted down - and was), and the second visit was done faster than quoted and done very effectively (swapped out fluorescent lights for LED cans).  Highly recommend!

Contacted them to wire recessed medicine cabinets that were already installed. Medicine cabinets worked great, very professional along with fair and honest pricing. Although they don't do drywall they left everything behind so our handyman could seal and patch up again without issue. Highly recommend them as they were able to come with less than 24 hours notice leading up to the holiday! Thanks again for the excellent work.

Had a set of track lighting that burned out. Jeremy came out within 2 hours of my call (I'm local). Thought the transformer had burned out, but he kept at it and fixed the problem. Turned out the connection had been fried, he cleaned it up and all is good. Price seemed reasonable considering I couldn't have fixed it!

Jeremy replaced a 200 amp panel for my restaurant. He worked overnight so we wouldn't have to close the restaurant at all.  Showed up on time and ready to work. Did a great job.  On another occasion I had an electrical emergency.  I called Jeremy and he was there in 30 minutes.  He troubleshooted and had me up and going again in no time.  Highly recommended!

Solid guys, did a good job on some recessed lighting and a ceiling fan. They ran some new cable for no charge to replace 1920's wiring. There were some issues that came up a few weeks later which they came and fixed no charge. Jeremy was always easy to get ahold of and came by himself to make a fix. Thanks for the help!

I had a wiring issue in a older condo I am renting. The handyman was sent in by the owner and couldn't get it fixed right. The handyman was here for about 21/2 hrs. Handy Lectric called me yesterday fit me in even though they had a full schedule for today. They arrived on time and figured out the problem within 10 mins. They fixed it properly and were out of here in about 45 mins. Would definitely recommend them to everyone. They are fast, reliable, and courteous- what else could you want from a professional!?

Jeremy and his team are terrific. He was thorough and quick on his initial visit to see what we needed done. His team of Robert and John spent the day completing a long list of electric work,  they were super professional and real problem solvers with some of our issues, particularly in one of our 100 year old buildings. Thank you Jeremy and recommend Handylectric to everyone. We are already making a list of things for their next visit.

These guys are awesome. I called and they were at my house within 30 minutes to give me a proposal. We agreed on a price and scope and they started immediately. They finished super quick and cleaned up after themselves.I highly recommend. Plus they were both extremely personable and easy to converse with. Great guys.

I had Jeremy come out to give me an estimate for installing a 240V plug in my laundry room. It turns out I'm an idiot and it's already wired for 240 volts - I just needed to install the receptacle. The guys were pleasant and helpful, explained what I need, and refused when I offered to pay them for their time. I'd hire them in a heartbeat.

I called them yesterday and texted Jeremy a few pictures of my problem so he would not have to come to my place, look at it, and then go pick up supplies. Jeremy knew exactly want the problem was from the photos and quoted me a price over the phone and scheduled the work for today.  Raul came over and started the work but found another problem so Jeremy had to come over to bring something else.  They did the work they promised and did a few other things just to make their work perfect and up to code without an additional charge.  Both Raul and Jeremy were courteous and professional.  Thank you and I will call you again next time I need any electrical work done.

This is an update after showing a couple of people including my apt manager the job this company did. Although Jeremy was quite accommodating and his staff Raul and John were extremely friendly, their other friend seemed rather clueless. He was at Home Depot FOREVER. We waited forever for this guy as we needed the plug for the guys to start work. When the guys called him to see what he hadn't bought the simple plug thing, he said he couldn't find it. Within 20 seconds I, a woman who knows nothing about Home Depot and equipment went online and looked up what aisle it was in and let him know. Seems like he should have thought of it.
Granted this job was difficult due to how my 1930s apt building is designed, but making 14 holes in the walls, seems rather excessive. All the holes were around 4sq give or take 1-2 inches. Everyone who has seen the holes thought it was pretty crazy since I had to pay $400.00 (although Jeremy quoted me around $300.00  plus I gave 2 of the guys each a $40.00 tip. As it was getting to be evening they said they could come back and patch the next day but I declined (like an idiot) as I had to work the following day. I now need to pay someone around $200.00 to patch 14 holes that I attempted to fix and failed miserably.
They left exposed wires in the hallway and I texted John at 323-809-3641 asking where they put the lid to the crawl space they had to climb through and never heard from him. I never heard back from him. (Perhaps I had the wrong number)
So 2 weeks later, there is still a huge hole in the hallway ceiling as I still can't find the lid but I guess I have to climb up there and climb all the way in which freaks me out.
This company is obviously a good place as they have great reviews. I think this must have been a really off day. I didn't know if leaving 14 big holes in the wall was due to my old building being difficult which is why I left a good review originally and also tipped on top of that. After all the comments and look of horror, I thought I better leave a more accurate review as the things I ignored, should not have been ignored.

Jeremy took on a difficult job of digging under our driveway to install a new electrical line.  He always answered his phone and showed up when he said he would, a good start right there.  His work was more arduous than he had planned, but he never lost his positive attitude.  His price was fair, so he will get our business in the future.

I came home around 8 pm and was using my microwave when all the lights in my house started blinking. I tried everything I could think of but couldn't correct the issue. I started looking on Yelp but most of the electricians had bankers hours. HandyLectric had late hours so I called them. Jeremy picked up write away. He was at my house the very next moring with his crew. They took down all of the light fixtures, opened all of the switch plates and even got up on the roof. Because my house was one of the many flips in the area is had a lot of wiring that was done incorrectly. Jeremy and his crew were able to correct all of the connections, replace the wrong breaker with the right one, fixed the connection at the weather cap and when they were done cleaned everything up including washing out my dogs water bowl and refilling her water. Their prices were the best I have seen. I will definitely use Jeremy again. I would not hesitate to recommend Jeremy and his crew to anyone in the LA area.

If your looking for reliability, honesty and fair pricing, Jeremy is one of the best electricians out there. I was introduced to him in October of 2013 after i mistakenly hired a general handyman start a re-wire job on one of my investment houses. I reached out to Jeremy to complete the job and within a few days he had the entire 1400 sq ft house re wired along with a brand new 200-amp panel upgrade. He made sure everything was up to code and passed inspection 1st time with a breeze. Since then he has done numerous of other investment homes for me along with my sisters house she lives in and i would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a knowledgeable electrician to get the job done.
