Martin is a skilled, reliable, and trustworthy electrician you can count on.

After my handyman botched up an electrical job, I needed a licensed electrician to inspect and fix the problem (turned out it was problems). My friend recommended Martin to me since he replaced their electrical panel years ago. I'm glad I reached out to Martin and he was able to fix the problems without much hassle. He always responds to my texts and job requests in a very timely manner.

This was my first time hiring a licensed electrician since I've always had the impression that licensed electricians charge a fortune for their services. However, I find Martin's fees to be reasonable, especially given his quality work. With him, I can trust that the work would be done right and I can have my peace of mind.

Martin is reliable and did an amazing job adding two outlets on the exterior of our house. Not to mention a fair price too!

I needed to upgrade my panel and Martin was fantastic.
He answered all my questions throughout the process and was very professional. His estimate and pricing was fair. He took care of all the permits and coordination with the power company. I am very happy with the service he provided.
I highly recommend Martin/Mr. Electric.

We started having some electrical issues before this last heat wave, but when it continued to get worse I knew I had to find an experienced electrician. Martin responded quickly and gave me a date and time for early the next week which was perfect. He arrived promptly and immediately found the circuit breakers to be older than I realized and replaced them. He was also agreeable to redoing all of the labeling of the circuit breakers which is time consuming and detailed when done correctly. I felt so fortunate to have found Martin. His expertise is high level - he is also a mechanical engineer - and he and his assistant were professional and kind. I would recommend Martin/MR Electric as the level of service is top notch.

Martin of Mr Electric did a great job.
Like almost all contractors now, he has a backlog so it took a while to actually do the work. His work was very good and his price was fair. I would definitely recommend him.

We finally had our electrical panel replaced and the whole front of the house rewired. We had been wanting to do this for a long time due to the front of our house being very old, knob and tube wiring. We had decided to go with Martin and MR Electric because a friend of ours had just used him for their house and loved his work. The pricing was also very competitive with other quotes we had received. He said the job would take about 2 weeks and he was pretty accurate with the timing. Martin and his co-worker Junior were very prompt everyday and also very Covid safety oriented. They were very forthright with what would happen everyday so we knew what to expect each day. His workmanship is very good and efficient. When he had to cut into walls he would patch it right up and make it look very clean. He is very knowledgeable and would always answer any questions we had. He was also very prompt with responding back to texts or calls. He is also very informed with all the city ordinances and got our city permit lined up before starting the job. He is very on top of it and was able to get the city inspector in a timely manner. I wholeheartedly recommend MR Electric if you are in need of any electrical work!

*Please be aware if you are redoing your main panel, that lead times from the power companies are ridiculous. At this time, we are still waiting for Edison to come and permanently attach pole power lines to our new main panel.

We were grateful Martin wore a mask and putting hand sanitizer before entering our home.

Martin was able to diagnose a difficult to find and dangerous wiring / light switch installed by previous owners of our residence who were trying to take some shortcuts. As always he was professional, polite, efficient and reasonably priced. You are in trusted hands for all things home electric with Martin. He is our go to electrician in Alhambra. Thank you Martin!

Jon L.

08/05/2022 12:00:00 SA

Martin is very thorough and professional in his work. He upgraded my electrical panel to a higher capacity, as well as working with the city for the permitting process. His wiring is neat and came to my house several times to finish the big project. I would call Martin again in the future for electrical needs.

Thank you for wonderful work and excellent customer experience.
Martin is great - please don't let too many people know because I'll need more work done and I need Martin to be available. :)

We needed power from our main house to the new 8x10 shed converted into a work/Zoom privacy room. Martin come by to check it out and gave several options and I could choose based on my budget which method made the most sense. Very happy with the options and my choice.

Martin and his crew completed the work correctly first time - efficient and clean and allowed me to ask questions and watch some of the work. We had good communication for the fine tuning adjustment questions.

Get this! I was talking about future plans, and Martin listened and during the work on my job, Martin made future plans easier by adding additional electric connection areas when we will most likely need it. Very smart and we didn't expect it and it is a very nice surprise and added detail. Martin goes above and beyond.

Thank you for the wonderful job. We are super happy with the work and the entire experience. Looking forward to our next job with Martin and his team.

Contacted Mr. electric for two small electrical issues one dealing with a garage door opener another changing a light switch to a combo light switch/socket. Victor arrived on time, he listened to my concerns and addressed both issues immediately. Victor was pleasant, professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this company.

Just had them install a NEMA 14-50 for my Tesla Model 3. My panel is already 200 amps so it was just a matter of installing the 50A breaker and running a conduit under the house to the appropriate spot of where I'll be charging my car.

He (I think his name was Martin? can't remember) came by for a quick estimate. He's super friendly and the price was cheaper than 4 of the 7 total estimates I got.

When the day came to install, he and his helper arrived after 8:30am. They immediately got to work and finished in about 3-4 hours.

Will definitely call him again if I need more electrical work!

Leo J.

07/06/2020 12:00:00 SA

My parents needed a panel upgrade. We called Martin and he quickly scheduled a time to see the house and provide us with an estimate. The price was fair so we decided to move forward. He really communicated clearly what the process would entail including permits. We were really happy and impressed with his work and how clean the installation turned out. I would call Martin again for electrical needs in our home.

They did an excellent job with the various electrical work we needed done. They installed a subpanel, new circuits and diagnosed an electrical problem. We highly recommend them.

Gilbert R.

09/12/2018 12:00:00 SA

I called up Martin on a weekday to see if he could give me an estimate for installing a 14-50 outlet and 60 amp breaker. He asked me if I could send him a photo of the panel and where I wanted the outlet. About an hour later he gave me an estimate and it was much lower than the other two I received. He also said he would be able to install it the very next day and it would only take him a couple of hours. He was done in less than that.

Martin is professional, courteous, knowledgeable and very reasonable in terms of price. He even commented on some of the work that my previous electrician had done and where some improvements could be made.

I would definitely recommend his business.

Evelyn G.

04/08/2021 12:00:00 SA

I had a broken arm and was in a bind. I felt lucky when Martin was able to fit me into his packed schedule as he is so popular. The buzz is for good reason.

Martin is knowledgable, experienced, and both he and his assistant are kind which also scores points with me. Martin is an experienced electrician with integrity. I feel so lucky to have found MR. Electric. He deserves the rave reviews.

Martin from Mr.Electric did a great job with a quick security camera installation for a good price. Thank you Mr. Electric. Glad we called you.

Karen G.

08/10/2021 12:00:00 SA

Martin is responsive, professional, and thorough. We have connected with him for years (e.g. new fuse box, electrical rewiring, outlet installation, etc.) and I am disappointed in myself that it took me this long to provide this review. Bottom line - if you need an excellent and honest electrician - look no further. Martin is the guy who you should keep in your phone book. He handles big and small jobs, is quick to respond, and so thorough - identifying any areas that are dangerous and/or in need of updating. Today, he worked in my mom's older home and ensured that the finished project was a quality job to ensure that it was wired correctly and to code, ensure her safety, and avoid any issues in the future. I appreciate him very much!

Kilometers D.

I got 7 different estimates for my new electrical panel. I went with my gut and chose Martín. I couldn't be happier. From the very start, he was the most patient and helpful and transparent. He answered all my questions and guided me through the process of working with DWP for the spot check and permits and inspection. He was on time or early on every occasion, and he and Davíd did great work. I give MR Electric my highest recommendation.

Lola Y.

8/13/2018

Came to check on our washer and dryer that wasn't turning on. We thought it was electrical issue but it was just the breaker. Appreciate this business for coming out quickly and helping us out. Will definitely go to them again if we have electrical issues.

08/01/2018 12:00:00 SA

I am beyond pleased with the service Martin provided me. I called yesterday regarding my kitchen light going out and he came out today. His rate was VERY reasonable and much cheaper than what I was quoted by one of the bigger commercial businesses. He showed up on time and completed the job in timely manner. I won't hesitate to use MR electric again!

Rich W.

9/26/2018

Highest compliment is to use again. I had Mr Electric over to deal with a ground fault outlet in my kitchen. Martin and his assistant showed up about an hour after I contacted them. They were clean, professional and personable. They quickly replaced the gfi outlet and solved the problem. Pricey service because of the one time service fee for such a fast fix, but not so pricey when I consider how quickly they came by and got my refrigerator and other kitchen appliances running.

Most electricians would take days.

Yesterday, had problems with gfi again. They came out within 1/2 hour and quickly discerned that the problem was an Edison problem. Only one phase of the electricity was getting to the house. I contacted Edison and they fixed it at the pole later that day.

Mr Electric did not charge me. I would definitely use them again.

Martin from Mr Electric is fantastic. He did several electrical projects for us. His work is excellent. He is always punctual, good corresponding, and leaves the site clean.

Joe M.

02/07/2019 12:00:00 SA

Very professional, very honest, and I highly recommend.
We needed a NEMA 14-50 and a couple exterior standard outlets installed, they were half the price compared to another quote.
The communication with them was great and their work was thorough.
About a month after the work I had a question about the amps from a dedicated circuit and Martin responded right away, so helpful!
I will be calling these guys next time I need electrical work.

Chastity C.

02/12/2021 12:00:00 SA

Honest to their word, decent pricing and fast and efficient. Don't settle for an individual that doesn't offer a guarantee. Go with this company and save time, money and stress. No joke!

I found Martin on yelp. Like most ppl, I did my research and read all the reviews. With yelp, it's still a hit and miss sometimes. However, Martin is someone I would hire over and over again with a peace of mind! In fact, we hired him twice to upgrade our 200 amp panel then the second time entire house's electrical upgrade. He is competent, fast, reliable, professional, punctual and easy to work with. I can easily communicate via text with him. He would communicate with us when running into issues, solved them then proceeded to complete the work! He is definitely a seasoned and experienced licensed electrician. I'm happy to have found him on yelp. I will definitely recommend Martin to my friends and clients in the future. Quality vendor in my book :) Lisa and Dom

Martin replaced a dangerous old Federal Pacific panel with a new 200 amp panel. All the 5 star reviews are true and well deserved! He was fast and efficient. He also installed an outdoor outlet for our patio.

Myron H.

03/03/2017 12:00:00 SA

Martin from MR Electric is one of our best and most reliable vendors. We currently use him for all our outsourced electrical work on our buildings in the San Gabriel Valley. He is very knowledgeable, quick to diagnose problems, and does the job to perfection. When he replaces sub panels in our units, the amount of patching that has to be done is very minimal.

He has also installed our 30 amp and 50 amp electric car charging outlets at our residence and did a fantastic job. I highly recommend him for electric car charging outlet jobs.

Believe me, we use and have used a lot of vendors in our business and he is one of our best.

Jehni R.

10/08/2019 12:00:00 SA

I have used MR Electric for several years now. One of my first projects with him is installing a NEMA 14-50 outlet for a Tesla charger. Our most recent projects included a garage remodel as well as an electrical box upgrade, however, even small jobs can be done. We worked with a wdesigner for our garage project and she mentioned Martin was one of the best electricians she's worked with. I can't say enough about Martin. He is personable and professional. He's always reliable showing up when promised. The job site is always cleaned up upon completion. His prices are more than reasonable for the quality of the work. I can assure you that you will not be disappointed to use Martin for any electrical work you may have in mind. Honestly I would not use anyone else.

Rick D.

I needed to run a new 220 line from my panel to my garage. This involved removing bricks and cutting into the driveway. Martin and his crew did a fantastic job of running the new line installation the sub panel, outlets, ect.... as well as repairing the driveway and replacing the bricks as if the excavation never happened, very clean job..
His prices are a very fair, would highly recommend
them.

Martin is a licensed and insured electrician. We contacted him to upgrade our electric panel and was very happy and satisfied with his work. I asked him a lot of questions before the upgrade and he answered all my questions and provided great customer service. He showed up on time to change out the panel. I will call him again in the future when we need any electrical work to be done.

Darrell L.

12/03/2019 12:00:00 SA

Martin under-promised and over-delivered! He is a true craftsman, keeping his word and standing behind his work. He is helpful, courteous, and worth every penny of what he charges. No shortcuts, not bad work, doing what he said he would do on time or ahead of schedule.
I will recommend him to anyone in the area who needs an electrician, and will bring him back to upgrade things in my home as needed.
He installed a car charger for me. When it died, he swapped it at no charge when the replacement unit arrived. He did not have to do that, but he did it out of the kindness of his heart.

Great job today. Thanks for coming on short notice and fixing a weird issue of living room circuits tripping whenever something was plugged into it. Found the issue in the panel wiring (not loose wires but poorly wired) without needing to tear up walls so great job troubleshooting effectively. Thanks again.

Jonathan R.

05/11/2016 12:00:00 SA

Located somewhere in El Sereno, I had been looking to have a television mounted on the wall of my room for some time now and also fix outdated wiring issues. I went on Yelp and was fortunate enough to run into contact information for Martin and team.

I scheduled an appointment and Martin helped me to understand the root of the problem. I scheduled a follow up visit. The team showed up on time and completed the work the same day. Professional, knowledgeable, cool guy are some words I'd use to describe Martin.

The wall mounted TV I installed looks clean with a new electric outlet out of plain sight. I could also now hook up a heater in the bathroom for those unpredictable SO-CAL mornings.

Thank you MR ELECTRIC.

J. H.

01/12/2019 12:00:00 SA

Honest and professional. Martin came out on time and assessed the problem with a short circuit causing a tripping breaker efficiently. He was able to isolate the cause of the problem. I really appreciate professionals like Martin. We need more folks like him.

Klayton C.

02/08/2019 12:00:00 SA

Great service, very clean installation. I had them install a new 200 amp panel. The job was done quickly and without any mess. The city passed the installation. This will be my electrician going forward.

Ed T.

1/28/2016

In the world of Yelp there are thousands of restaurant/food reviews but we do need more service type reviews as it is very important to small businesses. I don't write many reviews but for MR electric I will.

Martin was very responsive and knowledgeable in the work I needed to be done. He was able to give a competitive quote over the phone, and was prompt to our appointment.

He did a great job, clean installation and even let me borrow his stud finder. Overall, I'm happy with his work, his professionalism and his advise. If I need future electrical work done on my home, I won't hesitate to call MR Electric and neither should you

Martin is great! Excellent service, more than fair price and very accommodating. He's our electrician of choice

David G.

Martin helped me rewire the first floor and upgrade my main panel to 200 amps. He also rewired some items from the old subpanel to the new. I highly recommend him for a few reasons. First, he met all the timelines he gave me, from securing the permit to finishing exactly when he said he would. He also was nice enough to do a few small tasks for me for free. I was worried about the electrical work before we staretd just because of stories I've heard in general, but Martin did great, and I'm glad other people's reviews helped me find him.

Brian W.

10/20/2015

You can tell that a business owner cares about customer service and his reputation by following thru with what he says. I contacted Martin of MR Electric to install flood lights at my residence after an increase of burglaries in our neighborhood. He told me that he would be by the house the next morning at 9AM to give me an estimate on the job. True to word, Martin showed up at exactly at 9AM!!!

Martin has a pleasant demeanor and is very professional. He examined the areas of where I wanted the flood lights installed and quoted me a competitive price. However, Martin did advise me that he was backed up a couple of weeks with other jobs. I took that as a sign that his work was exceptional and worth the wait. Therefore, I told him that I wanted to hire him and would wait the two weeks.

Martin actually was able to fit me in before the two week period ended. He arrived promptly with his assistant David, and got to work right away. My wife is a stickler for cleanliness so they made a point to wear paper shoe covers in the house. In addition, they cleaned up after the work was done. What I was most impressed about was that they were able to complete the installation of the flood lights in an aesthetic manner without breaking any of the stucco. Martin and David finished the work in the time promised so that we could move on with our day. All in all, I am very pleased with the how the flood lights turned out.

If you are in need of an honest, professional, and pleasant electrician, you should seriously consider Martin of MR Electric.

Martin responded quickly to my inquiry. I appreciate that very much. I hired him to install a nest doorbell. I was very impressed with his knowledge although it was the first time he had worked with this product. Him and his helper had to run knew wire and install a be new transformer and chime. All is working great. So happy I called him.

Jennifer M.

09/11/2015 12:00:00 SA

Martin runs a great business. He is punctual, detailed and competitively priced. I look forward to hiring him for many more projects for my home.
I hired him to replace my electrical panel and install some new fans. I could not be more pleased with his work ethic, attention to cleanup and customer service. I highly recommend MR Electric!

Marcin N.

10/25/2017

Martin swapped 100amp main panel to 200amp on my house. He was very fast and took care of the permits. The entire time he was in very good communication with me. The panel is also labeled!

Martin T.

05/04/2018 12:00:00 SA

Martin upgraded my main panel to 200 amps, grounded my outlets, installed recessed lighting and old pool pump timer, so this is a pretty extensive project. He and his team did all this with minimal amount of patching required.

He also managed to resolve a sticky issue with the city which could delay the release of permit and potentially delay the project.

So the highlights:
* Fair price. Not the cheapest, but you don't want the cheapest contractor for your electrical work.
* Punctual. It was only one time that he missed to show up at the promised time but that was due to he was getting caught up with other projects. But for the rest of the project, he and his team always showed up on time and would communicate with you if he had issues.
* Good communication. You're not in the dark on what day/time he would be at your house and the progress of his work.
* Stand by his work. He took care of a defective equipment and reinstalled it for free.

In short, Martin and his team did all the work within the proposed budget and time.

I would highly recommend MR Electric to do any electrical work you have. He is very professional and knowledgeable, in fact I already did to two other colleagues.

Thanks MR Electric!

I don't know how to properly word my review but Martin and David are the best! Totally honest and skillful people here. They are trustworthy, funny and directly - will always be my top choice electrician in the SGV region. He always answers your questions promptly and provides cost efficient solutions to a project.

My project involves setting up a sub-panel in my garage with multiple 240V outlets for my EVs chargers. This was a day long project since my main panel resided pretty far away (other side of the house). Martin and David did a wonderful job planning, explaining and executing the actual project. I was totally sick of hearing several large-team electricians that tried to overcharge me for some weird reasons or make up excuses that the project can't be done unless I pay extra dollars for something unrelated. In addition, Martin and David both showed strong professionalism and completed everything on-time. If anyone needs an electrician to work in the region, I will strongly recommend Mr. Electric; If anyone needs ESVE or 240V outlets installed, I will strongly recommend Mr. Electric; If anyone needs to rewire garage or home circuitry or anything related to electricity, I will ALWAYS strongly recommend Mr. Eletric (Martin and David).

Btw, Martin is a candid person with very upfront and honest pricing - you will not regret you called him first to help out your project. At least I won't bother calling others again ever and will always ask Martin to help me with my electricity related issues.

Martin installed recessed lighting in our living room and dining room as well as 2 ceiling fans in our bedrooms. We were very pleased with his professionalism and the quality of his work!

07/11/2019 12:00:00 SA

They helped us remove an old sub panel and rewired/re-labeled everything on our new panel. Also added and updated some exterior outlets for us. Such beautiful, clean work and very reasonable priced and quick. Highly recommend!!

Carrie I.

12/09/2016 12:00:00 SA

Martin installed a new 200 amp electrical panel, recessed lights, and an outdoor outlet at my house. He's very punctual, responds quickly, keeps you informed, and is very knowledgeable. If you need an electrician to come and do the work quickly and professionally without any BS, call Martin. He met me the same day, emailed his proposal that night, and started the work a few days later. The panel and outlet were completed in one day. The eight recessed lights were also completed in one day.

Charles J.

09/06/2016 12:00:00 SA

I had Martin do 22 recessed lights for me w/ dimmer settings. Let keep this simple and straight to the point. He's Not the cheapest. Very Punctual. Very Professional. I would definitely use him again for any electrical work. And yea I also found him on yelp.

Jasper T.

10/07/2016 12:00:00 SA

I can see why Martin has gotten all 5 star reviews because my experience with him was outstanding. I needed to install an outlet for my EV and Martin was able to come by my house and send me a proposal immediately. He is very responsive and highly professional. For my appointment he came on time and did a great job running a line from my main panel to the rear of my house. He also helped me with 2 other small issues which was greatly appreciated. if you have any job, big or small I would not hesitate to recommend MR Electric.

Christie H.

6/28/2016

Mr Electric was awesome. We had some new outlets put in the kitchen and some light fixtures hung. The price was fair and the work was done super quick. Also, they found some trouble in our sub panel that we were unaware of, and fixed that as well. We will use him again!

Jan L.

5/21/2019

Martin is highly recommended, very professional and responsible. I called Martin to install a level 2 EV charger for my home and also replace the old electrical panel. Martin gave me a good price with the permit fee included. It turns out that the permit fee is about $100 higher than what he originally thought but he still honored the original quoted price. He finished the work in a timely and professional manner. I also notice that he used high quality materials (like circuit panel, circuit breakers) although the quotation he gave me did not list the parts. Overall I gave Martin a 5 star review.

I'm a first time homeowner and an interior designer and decided to change my light switches to the flatter more modern look. The seller did a renovation before but only switched out maybe half of them to the new, so I had this horrible mix of the two.

Anyway, it was Sunday afternoon and I decided it would be easy because I've watched enough contractors do it. It wasn't. It was hard. I totally screwed it up and I had to stop because it was too late in the day and the sun had set and I was working with a flashlight.

So Monday morning, I decide to call a professional. Martin and his team came on over in the afternoon (according to my schedule) and waited outside for 15 minutes (because traffic sucks) while I drove over from work. They worked for less than an hour and did everything that I wanted to do but didn't get to. And his pricing: TOTALLY REASONABLE and WORTH IT!

Trust me...always call a professional and these guys are it!

The power to my tankless water heater went out after a recent rain and my warranty insurance company dispatched a plumber even though I specifically requested an electrician. Being already a day and a half without hot water in the middle of winter I could not wait until the next business day for the insurance company's electrician to even call me back to schedule an appt.

I found Martin on Yelp because he is in area and had good reviews. He was at my house within 30 mins on a Saturday and provides free estimates. He was super friendly and explained what was happening.

Turns out water got into the outlet and just needed to be replaced. Martin fixed it in a jiffy and I have hot water again!

Nancy B.

03/04/2019 12:00:00 SA

This company is professional from the first phone call to the time they come to your home.i was not asked to pay a scheduling fee as another company asked for. I will call them any time I have a problem with electrical issues I will only call this company.

Francine P.

12/07/2018 12:00:00 SA

Great electrician. Martin & helper came same day I called and installed my new dining fixture. Pleasant personality, clean job, very reasonable cost. I'll be using MR Electric again!

Martin came out to fix a tricky bathroom ceiling light/fan that we couldn't get out ourselves. He was very quick and professional, even fixing our oven hood grill light while his assistant worked on the bathroom light. We've known for a while that we needed to upgrade our panel and had some wiring hanging dangerously out of conduit under the house. I had him take a look and got an estimate. He was very honest in his assessment, dissuading me from doing some unnecessary work that I had asked about. I appreciated his honesty and candor. Martin upgraded our panel and fixed the wiring, bringing our house up to code. He also installed a new exterior plug for us, so I can plug in our garden lights. He and his assistant came at the appointed time and were very pleasant to deal with. He returned a few days later to meet the city inspector and everything passed. We can sleep easier at night knowing that our house is now safe and up to code. We will definitely be calling him in the spring to install a driveway plug when we get our electric car. Can't recommend him enough!

I needed a panel upgrade for my recently purchased home. It had the original service from 1952, only had 4 circuits, and was no longer up to code. I found MR Electric on Yelp and decided I had to call based on the reviews. Martin was very quick to show up for his initial consultation. He is friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and his estimate was very fair. This job was no easy task. The home is on a hill, the terrain is sloped, the homes are built within close proximity to one another, and there are big dogs in the neighbors yard. He still managed to work very quickly and got the job done in less than a day and a half. He even recommended a great concrete guy to level the ground underneath the new service so it would pass inspection. All in all I'm extremely happy with the work he and his crew did. It looks clean and professional. I will definitely call him again for my future upgrades and electrical work.

Martin made upgrading my new house so easy, safe, reliable, and reasonably priced. He was so respectful, punctual and easy-going that he made getting work done on my house a breeze. I cant wait to recommend him and his crew to my friends. I wish all service/repair people were this great to work with!

We recently used MR Electric to upgrade our electrical panel to 200 Amps. We were very pleased with the work done by the owner, Martin. He is a hard worker yet pleasant and easy to talk to. His prices are very fair. Even though the weather was unexpectedly hot on the day of the job and Martin was working in full sunlight for part of the day, he completed the work in a timely manner. The electrical panel and all the attachments were properly and neatly installed and we passed city inspection with no problems. Martin also did extras like removing the old panel, patching the roof where necessary and relocating an outside outlet to a more convenient location. If you are looking for an honest, competent and efficient electrician, give MR Electric a call.

Needed to find an electrician for my two different jobs, one at the house and one at the apartments. Looked here to yelp and found the perfect help. Martin was the guy I turned to, to do all the jobs. I needed to change a half a dozen lights in the apartments and needed to have two garage door lights replaced on the garage. Martin did this in a very short time frame and was very honest, knew his craft, and reasonable with his prices. Also Martin did a lot of other small jobs that popped up along the way. I will always use Martin for my future jobs. Also he takes my calls on the weekend when I have questions. Thank you Yelp and Martin! Highly recommended if you are looking for a responsible electrician in the San Gabriel Valley area. Reserve him early, he gets booked quickly...

Really skilled electrician here. Is very honest and gets right back to you when you leave a message. Martin was fast and took care of an extra issue I wasn't aware of. Call Martin before you call anyone else. You'll be happy that you did!

Martin completed work on my home that included rewiring the entire house to replace the original knob and tube wiring, upgrading the electrical panel to 200 amps, installing underground wires for the garage and updating outlets and switches to code standards. He also installed new light fixtures, smoke detectors, as well as repaired the older fixtures I wanted to keep. Martin was always professional, punctual, organized, and accommodating. Throughout the job, he kept me informed as to the work progress and what to expect the next day. All of the work was completed within the time frame given and the city inspector signed off on the project without problem. I was very pleased with his work and I would definitely call him again. I would recommend him to others without hesitation.

Highly recommended him! I hired Martin again. Even the Inspector from Arcadia city building department is awarded his great job done. He cooperated with others very well and always finish it on schedule. He is very honest and we can trust him.

I've been trying to hire an electrician for weeks to install (1) a dedicated 240V line, (2) a second/dedicated EV meter/panel (which is not the norm), (3) EV Charging Station and (4) upgrade my existing panel so I can charge my electric vehicle at home. I contacted about four different electricians and most were responsive, but Martín was extremely responsive and extremely pleasant/nice. I called Martín in the evening and he provided me with an extremely fair and reasonable estimate by the next day. (He didn't try to sell me on extra things, he was very honest). Martín's work was very clean and he did a very professional job. Martín was easy to work with and he was very responsive to all my requests and needs. The communication was excellent. Actually, he went above and beyond the call of duty and he made an extra effort to ensure that all of the necessary requirements and documents were in order including pulling the right permits and making multiple trips and calls to the City regarding the permits (keep in mind this is fairly new, installing two meters, so it took a couple attempts with the city until we were all on the same page). Martín was very patient during this entire process and he kept me in the loop and he ALWAYS made himself available to call/meet with the City Inspectors and Southern California Edison. Also, he did a good job working with my schedule. Without his support and dedication to this job, I still would be looking for an electrician. EV and charging stations are fairly new, and if I had to do it all over again, Martín would be the first person I would call. If I have any other electrical work to be done, I would call Martín.

Martin came to my house yesterday to hook up power to my new electrical panel. He arrived on time, in his nice work vehicle and set straight to work. He did a great job, timely and clean. Martin also explained each thing he did which was really cool. When he left, there was no mess, no evidence he was ever here, except that my new panel is now powering my house, and I have found a great new electrician that is reliable, honest, skilled and customer service oriented. Martin is a thorough pro, did a top notch job all around, and was pleasant to be around too.

We have used Mr. Rodriguez several times for both outside and inside electrical work. He does excellent work for very reasonable prices. We highly recommend him.

I cannot recommend Martin enough. My wife and I just bought a house that's needed a little bit of work, so we've been dealing with a lot of different repairmen. Martin has been by far the best. He shows up when he says he will, does an excellent job, explains everything he's doing, leaves the house cleaner than when he got there, and charges a very reasonable almost too good to be true amount. We've already recommended him to one of our friends and will not hesitate to recommend him to more.

Desperately needed someone for same day service and that's what I got. Martin was very prompt. Knowledgable in his work. Very reasonably priced.

We originally had a problem with a part of a power and Martin was able to find that we had a short in the underground line and he replaced the line with PVC instead of the metal conduit line that was previously installed.

When we decided to upgrade our meter panel, we called him and he handled everything. He finished the job within a day and caused little disturbance. The inspector was already familiar with Martin's work and everything finished without a hitch. He is professional and I would highly recommend him.

I came across M.R. Electric via Craigslist. I needed a quick dust to dawn light installed at my rental property. Martin arrived the next day on time. He installed the light and it looked great!. Very clean and very professional. I was so impressed I hired him to do some work at my residence. Martin upgraded my panel to 200amps and relocated it to the side of my house. Again, I am very satisfied with his work. He is very professional, no haggle, no added prices, no mess, nothing negative to say. If you are looking for someone who is professional and who stands by his work, I highly recommend!!! A+++++.

Martin came highly recommended and now I know why. He was very quick to diagnose the problems and how to fix them, and given that my house is 70 years old, these things are not always obvious. I had saved up a whole list of things -- outlets that didn't work, faulty wiring in crawlspace, exposed wiring in the attic, new fixtures to be hung, light switches that were inoperable -- all needed diagnosing. Martin easily assessed the problems and resolved the list in record time, at a very fair price. He is polite, intelligent, honest and does excellent work. Would give him more than 5 stars if I could! THANKS MARTIN!

I am a licensed architect and I have hired Martin to do electrical work on two properties that I have renovated. The last one was the conversion of a single family home to a duplex. Martin and David are professional electricians that I would recommend very highly.

Martin was great!
He moved and replaced my electrical panel, updated a bunch of wiring, ran an underground line to my garage and much more. The inspector said he did a great job so what more can I say. Martin is professional and courteous.

Martin and his crew were wonderful to work with! He was so flexible and worked well with other contractors who were also working on our house. He explained everything thoroughly and provided appropriate options for what we needed. He was always responsive to my questions and flexible with changes to the plans as we went. It's great to have an electrician we will definitely call again for future work!

After waiting a week for our regular electrician to call us back, we found M.R. Electric on Yelp. What a find it was! We were expecting a housefull of people that night and our front porch light had stopped working. I replaced the timer switch--still not working. Martin, however, knew just what to do, and got the right switch for the wiring of our old house. Quick response (on a Saturday) and fair price. We will use this company in the future. Bravo, Martin!

Our house is old and we needed a new fuse box, new wiring in the bedroom ceiling fixtures (the wiring exploded in one of the bedrooms and could have easily caught the house on fire) and other electrical work done in our home. We looked to Yelp for an electrician and after reading all the good reviews regarding MR Electric...Martin, we decided to call him. He's a five star plus electrician and we are so glad we found him. He is exceptionally honest, charges reasonable prices, does a fantastic and thorough job, and is a steadfast and diligent worker. He is a pro, and impressively knowledgeable in his craft. We had to get a city permit and the inspector was happy with his work and of course it passed inspection. We thoroughly trust Martin, and knowing that he put our house (electrically speaking) up to city code, I am so relieved and can finally stop worrying about our house burning down. He answers all your questions and puts you at ease with everything, giving you options, offering advice and really helping you by actually saving you money. He tackles tough snags...there isn't anything this electrician can't do. He is par excellence and we highly recommend him. He's a really nice and caring person too!

M R Electric is fantastic! Completely professional, efficient and informed. Martin is smart and nice. We needed an electrician that could install an EV Charger for our new electric vehicle. Although he had never installed one before, Martin reviewed the installation guide the day before and did an absolutely amazing job!

Martin was referred by our painter and we kept our expectations low, since we have had so many bad experiences before. What a great surprise! He changed our old lighting into beautiful new LED recessed lights and retro-fitted old recessed lights. He knew exactly what we wanted. Super competent, very professional, affordable and the nicest guy to have working in your home.Highly recommendable for all your electrical needs.
