We've had Leo come out and help us on three different occasions and we will definitely be calling him again when we have more electrical projects that need to be done around the house. He is always very responsive, prompt, and professional. He has done quite a few upgrades to our 1970s Mira Mesa home including replacing our old circuit breaker panel, installing a dedicated breaker for our microwave, replacing old ceiling fans with a chandelier in our dining room and recessed lighting in our front room, and replaced 3 flush mount fixtures in our hallway & laundry room. We definitely recommend reaching out to Leo if you have any electrical repairs and/or upgrades that you need done to your home.

This review is just for having good customer service. I messaged LEO about a project with multiple aspects, and they frankly told me that I should go other routes due the the specialized work involved, and help give me recommendations about the types of folks I should get in contact with to ensure my project gets done.
It's not often you see people giving up business because they know you'll have a smoother path for your project by pursuing other avenues, and it shows a lot of integrity as a business.
So this review isn't for folks looking to vet the service, but instead for folks trying to determine if they're working with a fair player who will tell it straight to you about your projects without fluff - and the answer here is definitely yes.
Thanks, LEO, I'll be contacting you for my next project! :)
I'm started a sub category here called ... How Yelp remodeled my home in a week ALL amazing humans from from Yelp! I'd put up a request & Within 3 minutes I'd have the perfect person lined up. UNBELIEVABLY EASY.
For ELECTRICIAN... my superstar was Leo! I had a whole wall that had no power to. My of the outlets an no switch in the breaker box. Leo was the first to reply to my request. Reasonable prices. Showed up on time. Solved all my problems. ZERO hassle. Even got my AC working! Just another day in the life of a Yelp hero! I will definitely be using him again! Thank you Leo!

The recent rain caused electrical issues throughout our house. We found LEO Electrical here on Yelp and gave them a call today Sat 4/1. Our electrician, Duke, was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. He told us what he was going to fix before he fixed it and now everything is working perfectly. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND LEO Electrical for any of your electrical needs. Thank you so much Leo and Duke!!!

Last fall, the ceiling lights and ceiling fan in my master bedroom abruptly stopped working.
After verifying that it wasn't just a tripped circuit breaker that needed to be reset, I started calling around to find a local electrician. It was a Friday night, It wasn't an emergency, but it was an annoyance that I wanted fixed as soon as possible to see if I could reach someone who could come out over the weekend.
When I called Leo's phone and got his voicemail, I hung up and planned to call back in the morning. Leo called me back right away though from the caller ID info. He said he had missed picking up the call and wanted to be sure the call wasn't an emergency or immediate hazard.
We set up an appointment for him to come the next day. After a little investigation, he found a short in an electric line in my attic crawlspace, which was probably damaged accidentally when I had some HVAC work done. He was able to quickly repair the line and everything has worked great since then.
Can't say enough good things. Leo is prompt, courteous, professional, highly knowledgeable and has very reasonable rates.
Fantastic service all around. Leo was the only electrician from 7 that i called to get back to us. On a Wednesday afternoon no less. He was responsive and helpful the entire time he was here. He'll definitely be our go to guy

Had to give LEO Electrical a call again when my AC fuses burnt during the hot weather this Labor Day weekend. Leo responded quickly and was able to fit us in his schedule to get us cool in the house again!
He is our definite go to electrician and we highly recommend him!

I reached out to LEO Electrical to install a GFCI outdoor outlet and cover for the outlet. He was very quick at responding and put me in touch with Neil in his Team who was very professional and great at communicating throughout the scheduling process. Very satisfied with the service provided and would use them again and recommend them to anybody.
I had a light fixture that needed to be installed. It took about a day and a half to reach him (he's super busy), but once he arrived it was fixed very quickly and the price was very reasonable. I definitely recommend.

Hired Leo on Yelp to replace two tandem fuses in my fuse box. One of which was for the dishwasher, because it was crackling and would shut off under load.
He had trouble sourcing the correct ones (old Murray) so he modified two off brands to fit, by cutting a notch in them. He was very confident that they will be fine.
They seem to be working great!
I recommend him. He is very responsive and with reasonable prices.

Leo is great. Knows what he is doing. Reliable. Good communicator. I'd trust him with any electrical job.
WOW! Best service that we've ever received by an electrician! I reached out to request a quote from multiple electricians and almost all were quick to send us a quote of over $1000, plus additional costs, for something that we might not have needed. Leo was the only one that asked for me to provide a few more details via text AND was able to quickly solve our immediate problem! Unlike most, he did not have a requirement to book a costly appointment to come out before trying to better understand our problem. We live in an older condo so we plan to use him for future electric services. I will recommend him to everyone!

WOW! What a great experience I had hiring Leo to do some electrical work for us. I called based on the positive Yelp reviews and am so glad I did. He installed two dedicated circuits for us in the kitchen. A 50amp for a range and a 20amp for a microwave. It was tricky working in the attic space but he managed nicely and we are so grateful for all his help. Don't hesitate to call him...you'll be glad you did!
We needed to update our guest room with new/modern outlets and light switch and also put in a new ceiling fan. My daughter highly recommended Leo Electrical. I called and left a message and he texted me back with prices and said he could do it later in the week. He sent Neil to our house to do the job. First of all, Neil was on time and extremely polite and respectful. He did a great job and cleaned up afterward. Leo Electrical's prices can't be beat!! The room looks great and we highly recommend Leo Electrical.
Thanks Leo! Highly recommend to any friends and family. Professional, Friendly, Reliable, and Honest. Did an amazing job.
We had issue with our breaker box turns out it was fried. He was able to fix and replace our outdated box with a brand new one solar ready one.
Before and after pictures included.
Big shout out and Thank You to Leo Reyes. Our new electrician. Found him on local neighborhood Facebook page. He was highly recommended and had alot of wonderful Reviews. I asked him to install recessed lighting in 3 rooms, install a light fixture in the Master bedroom, and upgrade some of our electrical outlets. He went above and beyond!!! Very reasonable and professional. Was even kind enough to bring down stuff sitting in our attic that we had no idea was there, leftovers from the previous owner.
Highly recommend him for your electrical needs.
I knew a circuit was tripped, but couldn't reset it. Google said it must need to be replaced. I asked for a quote through Yelp for the highest rated electrician via Yelp, and LEO was it. I sent a request in, and I did receive a prompt reply-and was asked if I had tried to reset the circuit. Of course I had tried. Then LEO asked for a picture. The picture showed a tripped circuit. The response was reset the two outside circuits at the same time. I followed this advice, and low and behold the circuit reset. No visit, no bill, no being taken advantage of...I will turn to LEO for any future electrician need!
Very professional. Did a great job installing the outlet and left the area super clean. Highly recommended!
We contacted Leo after our Yelp search for electricians in my area led us to his page. He was prompt, reliable, installed our ceiling fans without issue, and his prices were reasonableI would definitely contact him again for any future electrical needs. Thanks Leo!

I totally recommend Leo for all your small electrical jobs. I needed a circuit breaker switch replaced in my house. Other electricians with great reviews were too busy to book me within 2 days. Leo had an opening in his schedule and drove out within an hour (he was admittedly close by). Since we pretty knew what the problem was, he got to work and had it done in 15 minutes.
He was well prepared, knew what he was doing, and did the job with courtesy and care.

Leo did a fantastic job and was quick to respond when we needed his services. He is knowledgeable, reliable, and I would recommend his services to anyone in need of a talented electrician!
I needed someone to fix my business bathroom light and circuit and been texting Leo. Not sure about this place but he is so busy I didn't get a call or text back when I needed. So if you have any emergencies, this is probably not a good place to call.

Leo installed brand new canned lightning and completley transformed our kitchen!! He also expertly installed the wiring for a new ceiling fan in one of the bedrooms. He is very communicative, prompt and affordable. He even went above and beyond to repair some electric issues we had!! We will definitely reach out to Leo for all of our electrical needs in the future. Thank you Leo!!!

If I could give more stars I would. Leo was great. He replaced my broken dimmer and he had the best quote of three. Highly recommend. Will use him for any future projects and/ or repairs.
We had an electrical fire in one of our GFI outlets on a Saturday at 2pm. When we realized the extent of the damage, we knew we needed an electrician to evaluate it to be sure it was safe. I began calling a few places and Leo was one of them. I left him a message and he texted me back that he would contact me as soon as he got out of a meeting. Within 20 minutes, he was on his way to our house. He quickly evaluated the outlet, checked the wires, and pulled out the damaged box. He did an excellent job and was done in 45 minutes. So glad we called him and found a local electrician we can rely on!
Leo is very courteous and professional. He helped me install 4 outlets, a ceiling fan and a towel rack. All the work are done perfectly and I'm very happy that I contacted Leo for all these work. Leo charges a very reasonable price and he now becomes my go-to electrician :)

Leo saved the day and possibly lives. Not hyperbole. My new tenants reported seeing black streaks around an outlet. They smelled burning when they plugged in an outlet strip. I submitted a project on Thumbtack and Leo -- on a Sunday night -- got back to me quickly with a fair estimate. He setup an appointment with my tenant for the next day.
He fixed the issue and texted me before and after pictures and explained the problem. Aluminum and copper wires were twisted together. I'm a layperson and I know that's dangerous.
This electrical stuff is no joke. Especially with these older buildings. (This one was built in 1974.) Do not hesitate; call an electrician ASAP.
I also had a loose outlet that he re-anchored with the proper screws.
See before and after pictures.
(By the way, another popular electrician, who saw the picture I sent of the outlet with the black streaks, got back to me the next day and said he could come by and give a quote 3 weeks from now!)
If you have an electrical issue or just want to add outlets, lighting, etc. hire Leo. He will be my first call if I have an issue in the future.
After reading previous reviews, decided to go with Leo. He responded right away, I sent a few photos of my electrical panel (old Murray) and described the issue. He gave me a fair cost estimate and came the very next day. Leo was on time and performed the work, even suggesting a few things to make the electrical panel better/safer. Very impressed with Leo and his service!
***Leo did a fantastic job! Extremely professional and knowledgeable! He is now our go to guy for anything electrical. Don's hesitate in calling him!***
Professional, prompt, honest, reliable, friendly---these are traits that have already been mentioned in previous reviews, and Leo holds up to them.
I had inquired about three small jobs (two lighting and one doorbell replacement) and a potential fourth for rewiring a light switch. When he first stopped by, I thought he was only going to look at the scope of the work, give me a quote, and then come back at a later date to complete it.
All four jobs were easy enough for him to complete in a day, and he did just that---actually completed them within hours. With the fourth job, there were options on how to handle the rewiring of the light switch, given the way things were already configured. Leo thought things through, explained everything he was thinking, and explained everything he's going to do. He did warn me about the cost differences, but I also envisioned what the results would look like.
Overall, Leo went above and beyond, and my wife and I are extremely happy! We are definitely reaching out to him for our future projects that require electrical work!
Called and Leo Reyes came but to trouble shoot outlets not working. He was so thorough and found the culprit! We will definitely use in the future and I highly recommend!!

Leo is a great electrician that I will happily call for all of my future electrical needs. He came out on a Sunday (amazing) to look at my setup and give me an estimate. The very next day he installed a Nema 14-50 outlet so I can charge up my Model 3 quickly.
I enjoyed all my interactions with Leo. He is very friendly and did an amazing job connecting the new Nema box with the existing system. I am impressed with the excellent install job every time I utilize the outlet. I have posted some pictures of his handwork and the speed you can expect to charge an electric car from a Nema 14-50.
Great guy, great price, great service. Thank you again Leo!
Leo installed a bathroom fan in my laundry room. He works efficiently and carefully. The fan runs great and the quality of the installation is awesome.
reasonable price for quality and professional service.
Attached a picture of the working site.

We called Leo about putting in two new GFI outlets in our bathrooms when we added a bidet. He quoted us a good price, showed up when he said and did a fantastic job! The install looks like it was done by a professional (he is) and done quickly.
A great neighborhood businessman. We will use him again for other projects.

I highly recommend Leo for anyone who's looking for high quality electrical work. Leo is a truly perfectionist. He has installed two NEMA 14-50 outlets for me in the garage so now I can charge my Tesla model 3 at home. Leo has done such an awesome job, I have to give him 5 stars rating. Rather than just putting on a conduit, he runs the cables behind the drywall in order to maintain a clean look. He patches the drywall afterward to ensure a seamless look. I highly recommend Leo for high quality work. Thank you, Leo!
I cannot recommend Leo Electrical enough. I'm more than 100% satisfied with the work Leo has done in our home (ceiling fans and recessed lights). His estimates came in the best among the few electricians I received quotes from.
Leo is an expert in his field. There truly isn't a problem he cannot solve. He does his best to minimize drywall damage. The little drywall that he does disrupt to get the job done, he patches it up with perfection. He also cleans up after the work is done. I will for sure be calling Leo for any future electrical needs. Thank you Leo for all your hard work!
Call this guy. Leo is awesome! From the time I first contacted him early in the morning on a Sunday to the time he had my power back up, LESS THAN 90 MINUTES HAD ELAPSED!!!
He replied within 10 minutes of my sending him a request. He first went over some tips via text to see if my house power outage could be easily resolved. Once we determined that a more experienced hand would be needed for my older electrical panel, he was at my location (Rancho Penasquitos) within 30 minutes. Once he confirmed that the main circuit breaker had failed, it didn't take long for him to get everything fixed and double-checked.
I really appreciate that he took the time to troubleshoot over the phone to see if the issue was something that I could resolve myself. Excellent customer service. Super nice guy, too.
I'll definitely be calling him again the next time I need anything electrical done!

I hired Leo several times for various tasks including installation of recessed lights, fans, chandeliers, pendant lights, exhaust fan, circuit breaker replacement, smart switches, etc. I go back to him for any electrical needs as he is very reliable, his work is very thorough and his pricing is very reasonable. He is usually quick to respond unless he is on a job. Highly recommend Leo.
Leo was an expert and had a fun personality. He arrived on time during our 1st meet, came prepared with his tools, and worked immediately.
I was missing a camera during this install (which he was fully aware of prior to coming by) so we agreed that he will just come back to complete the remaining 1/3 of the job. After the first install, he asked me to pay him approximately 85% of the agreed amount. I didn't mind because I was satisfied with the output and trusted our plan of meeting again. I paid via Venmo.
The major mishap I experienced was that it got extremely difficult to reach him for the 2nd appointment. I tried to schedule something with him between July 5th and the job was completed only today (July 23rd). I found it unpleasant to have to chase him around and text him so much just so he can get back to me after so many days. A client should not feel like that she has to beg for a job to be fully completed, especially when it's already been about 85% paid. That part was very unprofessional.
Leo ended up sending his apprentice/brother who pretty much made up for the wait! Leonardo was great, had perseverance, and a great demeanor. He problem solved and made sure that the job was fully completed prior to leaving. I gave him the remaining balance of 15ish% and was thankful that the entire job is fully done now!
.
Leo understood exactly what I was looking to do to upgrade my electrical requirements for the garage workshop. He added two dedicated 20A circuits to power my table saw and dust collector. Even though the outlets were in the garage, he was very meticulous about routing wire through walls and to code. Will do business with him again.

Leo was great to work with. He was polite, punctual, and very professional. Hired him to install a ceiling fan in one of the rooms. He was easy to work with and completed the job in the timeframe and price he stated. He was priced fair and his work was exceptional. I would highly recommend Leo. Will hire him for future projects. Thank you Leo!
At about 7pm last night, we noticed that a couple of our outlets in two of our rooms, ceiling fan/light and light wasn't working. My husband reset the circuit breaker a couple of times and pressed the reset on all the GFCI outlets but we couldn't fix the issue ourselves. My husband called a couple of electricians to see who could come check out for the issue and then I remembered that a bunch of neighbors have recommended Leo so I called and texted him. Leo texted back immediately and gave me a bunch of troubleshooting ideas. Because none of the tips worked, he scheduled to come by the next morning.
He came and identified the issue (the breaker). He explained the issue and gave us cost effective fixes. We went with replacing it. He fixed it immediately and walked us through the process. He went above and beyond by explaining the workings of a circuit breaker, etc, etc.
He is completely trustworthy, kind, reliable, really smart and patient. I was so impressed and appreciate his willingness to help us even before coming out to diagnose the problem.
I am so happy that I've found a go-to electrician! As a homeowner, you need reliable good people to go to for issues. I highly recommend Leo. We are now scheduling him to do our recessed lighting which we've put off for years because we didn't have an honest person to count on.
Thank you Leo!
Leo was responsive and he was able to fix my issue quickly and gave me good suggestions for further improvements

Amazing work from Leo. I hired Leo to replace a ceiling fan and troubleshoot the outlet. He got the job done within an hour. He is really kind and friendly. Not overcharging me like the other electricians I have worked with. Would recommend to my friends and family and will hire him again.
Thanks Leo.

We needed an electrician with commercial insurance coverage, but more importantly, we needed someone who could tackle a mess! Our electrical system was installed in the mid 1970's. This was child's play for Leo. He addressed our emergency quickly. He sorted out our outage problems, analyzed our reoccurring issues, and made recommendations that would help us avoid future problems. He showed us how our old system was corroded and breaking and at our request, moved us affordably towards increased safety and efficiency.
Leo was able to get us back up and running in two hours. Then he returned to permanently correct our systemic issues. To our delight, when it got dark outside, he put his headlamp on and kept working.
His Navy Electrician experience defines his skill set and resilient approach. Our old wornout electrical system was exactly the meaty challenge that Leo loves. We are all very grateful. Our HOA recommends Leo for his talent, his clear communication, and we found him to be affordable. Give Leo a call.

Leo did a great job, no shortcuts. Very professional, respected safety with mask and distancing. Will call him again.
Leo installed 2 bathroom vent fans for me and did it at a great price and very quickly! I would recommend him for all your electrician needs!
