I called Ishmael from smiley at 7 in the morning. He answered my call immediately. Gave me a specific time for arrival, he showed up when it said he would. My particular issue was required troubleshooting, Ishmael and his assistant walked me thru the procedure of contacting the local electric utility to report the issue I was having as well as informing the customer service rep of the exact issue. Thankfully the issue did not require costly repairs, and Ishmael suggestion of contacting the local utility saved me much money, because the issue was on their end and not mine.
Thank you Ishmael
Ismael did a wonderful job installing recessed lighting into our living room and two bedrooms. He was quick to respond and scheduled a visit to see the job right away. He and his brother completed the work in one day even though it was a complicated job. He installed 13 lights and did a great job keeping our home and furniture clean and protected. He was also extremely affordable in comparison to other quotes we have received. We will definitely be hiring him again to finish adding lighting to the rest of our home! Highly recommend!
Ismael was punctual, reliable and very reasonable.
He knows his stuff and doesn't try to sell you anything else.
The owner was very responsive and did a fantastic job. I will definitely hire him again. I had a flood light hard wired. The install looks very professional with the piping. I'm glad I didn't try to do this myself or else I would've messed it up big time.
Out of all the electricians I called in (with 200+ 5 star reviews) Smilys has the best price delivering the same great service as any other electricians. Very much recommend.
The team at Smileys provided excellent service and quality workmanship to meet my electrical needs. Installing a Tesla wall charger and adding outlets for bidets can be complex projects, so it's important to work with a skilled and experienced team to ensure that the work is done safely and correctly.
I needed to install an outlet/charger for an EV. Smilys came through quickly and efficiently. Ismael was super knowledgeable and took his tumente explain the process, taking my requests and preferences in consideration. The whole job was affordable and has been a great addition to my property. I strongly recommend this business!
Where do I begin. I first contacted Smilys Electric to ask for a quote install an exterior outlet in the backyard. He gave me a good price and we agreed on a date/time. Ismael showed up right on time and went right to work. After seeing the quality of his work I asked about a few more items. He gave me a reasonable price and he ended up adding three outlets, two exterior lights on either side of the garage and a switch for them. The quality of his work is great and I was pleased with everything. Fast forward a few weeks to Xmas Eve and suddenly the lights in my kitchen were turning on and off and flickering. I called Ismael right away and he FaceTimed me to see if he was able to diagnose the problem. Due to the age of the breakers and symptoms, he determined it was a faulty breaker. He came the next morning (CHRISTMAS MORNING) and was able to replace the circuit breaker, tighten up some loose connections in the panel and literally save Christmas for us. Not sure if anyone else on the planet would do this for a customer, if I could give Ismael and Smilys Electric 10 stars, I would. Thank you Smily's Electric and Ismael for providing outstanding service and exceptional work.

My experience was great! Everything was so quick and efficient and thorough! I am highly satisfied with my customer care! Thank you!!
Someone once told me that a good electrician is hard to find. Finding a great electrician is like finding a unicorn! Smilys Electric is your unicorn! We are getting an EV soon and needed a dedicated 240v NEMA 14-50 outlet installed. During his initial visit, he advised that we would probably benefit from also upgrading our electrical panel from 100 amp to 200 amp. We had actually been thinking about doing this as well, since we knew our electrical needs would increase and we are considering going solar. 100 amp wasn't going to be enough and could ultimately be dangerous. Ismael gave us a quote for both and the pricing was extremely fair. What we got in return was pretty epic. Not only was the job done in a timely manner, but the panel and outlet look like they naturally came with the house. Extremely clean work! Even better, he dealt with the County of LA to get us the proper permits and took every precaution to do the job in a top notch manner. Not only did we pass inspection, but even the inspector commented on how great a job Ismael and his crew did. If you need an electrician. Give Smilys a call. You will not regret it!

Update to prior review!
Ismael is able to hardwire and install Ring Floodlights, Ring Doorbell and also installed two extra outlets outside the home
Another update!
The bedrooms in my home did not have any lighting on the ceiling so Ismael added the wiring and recessed lighting. Also added wiring and installed a nice chandalier!
Ismael is able to add a dimmable switch to any of the lights if you prefer
The jobs that Ismael have done for me have taken longer than anticipated as new issues arise with an older home. He is a man of his word and doesn't charge more than he initially quotes. Even if the job turns out to be more complex and takes longer.
Highly recommend Ismael and he will be my go to electrician and always welcome into my home.

Ismael was amazing! He came over for a consultation and gave me a run through of my electric panel and what's needed to install a NEMA 14-50 outlet for my incoming Tesla Model Y! (I borrowed a friends Tesla Model 3 to test out the outlet!)
He made it very easy to understand of what he needs to do and what materials that are going to be used since I'm clueless about anything electric.
The best part of it is the quote he gave me! It was very affordable and I would HIGHLY recommend him to my friends and family. Ismael is very reliable, timely, and honest from start to finish.
His work was very clean especially with installing the conduit, something I'm not used to since a lot of the work done at my house is usually through self claimed professional handyman's recommended by family members.
I would definitely want Ismael to be my designated electrician for all my electrical work in the future!

Power went out in half my house. Ismael came over same day to look at the breakers and determined my current one burnt out. He told me to have sce remove the ring lock so he could replace it. Later that day, he came back with the replacement(after sce unlocked the rings) and got me back my power! He checked my power output to make sure I wasn't drawing too much.. It turned out my breaker is just faulty as the townhouse builders went cheap on everything.

Ismail is the man!!!! He installed my Nemo 14-50 outlet outside of my house for my ev level 2 charger. He was very knowledgeable and customized the outlet and even gave me a locking waterproof outlet box. Even though that was more costly he honored the negotiated price which shows lot about his character. He does very clean work and overbuilds. He even gave me 60amp breaker so I can use it to use a supercharger later If it needs to be.
Thanks Ismail. I'll definitely recommend u to all my friend family and neighbors. Kudos to ur good work !!!!!
Ismael was great at communicating with me to find a time that could work in our schedule. Turns out we were located farther than his yelp radius, so he helped me troubleshoot and diagnose the issue and gave me a reasonable price to replace what we determined was a bad breaker for later in the week. Since I have done some electrical I decided to give it a shot myself and asked him questions on which new circuit breaker I was buying would replace the outdated one. After confirming the part would work we discussed if I ran into any trouble or the breaker didn't resolve the issue he could make a trip out to diagnose. Turns out replacing the breaker did the trick and grateful for an experienced electricians feedback!

Put out a bid for an EV charging station installation, Ismael had the lowest price and a strong warranty. He came today and installed the 240v NEMA 14-50 outlet and wall charger, took no more than 2 hours and he was great to work with. Best price, great service and he stands behind his work, can't ask for any more than that. I will be calling Ismael for any future electrical service needs.
Great job!! Was done in 2 hours and couldn't beat the price. Quality was excellent. I'll definitely be using them again.

What more can I say about Ismael, he put over a dozen recess lights in my home, and I couldn't be more satisfied with his work. He was very thorough in answering all my questions and when I had an issue at a condo i recently sold, he went over to my old condo and fixed the electrical issue, telling me, don't worry about it, I will take care of it for you. And that he did. I will definitely be doing business with him and his team again. And I would recommend others do the same. Honest, professional, affordable and punctual are just a few words to describe my experience with this company. We will be in touch, for future projects.
He didn't even had to come out for simple issue. He looked at the breaker by facetime and figured out the issue.
I had trouble contacting local Electricians on my area and they were fully booked but it was an urgent matter since the house had no power at all. If you had the same issue as I did with the main breaker malfunctioning., this is the place you would need to call. Very responsive and got everything figured out less than 5 minutes.
Thank you so much
Ismael helped me out today. He came out super fast and checked out my outlets and got them up and running quickly. Helpful, nice, and communicative.

Ismael and Mario were great. Very open and honest about the whole process. I met with a couple electricians and I'm very happy I went with them. The nema 14-50 installed was put in beautifully. They could've cut corners and just ran the conduit outside of the house but went the extra mile to under my house and make it look nice. If you are looking for an honest electrician who is fair on pricing and takes pride in his work , you found them . I will def be using Smily Electric again and referring on my friends.

Ismael assisted me with installing two curling fixtures. Other companies quoted 300+, however Ismael installed the fixtures for $90 each. Knowledgeable and quick service.

We had a very good experience with Ishmael... he was honest and his price reasonable... he helped us fix a potentially dangerous electrical situation with our range hood... we will definitely be using him again for any electrical work!

I hired Smilys to install 240v outlet in my backyard last December, I got my kids a hot tub for Christmas and had such a hard time finding electrician that is available close to the holiday. Luckily I met Ismail, he kindly came even on holiday week and they got the work done fast. My kids were so happy to have the tub hot and running during winter break. I will hire them again, highly recommend these guys !
Ismael is a professional. Contacted him two days ago and he finished the job today! Reasonable prices, great on the job detail and responsive. Needed a circut and breaker installed for a five zone mini split. Ismael came over looked at the specs and even called the manafacturer to make sure he was installing the correct equipment. Stucco house and no way to hide it, still looks great. If you need electrical work ,this is your guy.
Ismael responded quickly to my asking for quotes from electricians in installing a new outlet for my microwave. He was the only one that offered to Facetime me to see what the problem was instead of just asking for more info. He came out promptly & got my problem solved before Thanksgiving! He ended up fixing all the other outlets in the kitchen that were bad & I had him install lights in my bathroom. He was very reasonable & cleaned everything up. Will definitely have him back again!
He got the problem diagnosed quickly and had it fixed in no time! I would highly recommend him
For your next job! Thanks for the great work!
Ismael was super responsive and finished the job super quick! We had a big project putting in about 20 lights and switching all the plugs and installing some smart switches. I highly recommend using his service if you can.

Ishmael came in less than an hour when I was getting appt times from other electricians for 5 days out. He was courteous and a HARD worker. Circuit overloaded and popped in my kitchen and he spent 2 hrs taking plug panels off, tracking cables, until he finally found the culprit and fixed it. What a relief. He's a terrific electrician who knows his business. Recommended.

I needed two outlets put in the patio area and some exposed wires placed in a conduit. Ishmael came out checked the job and finished it in two days. He was on time, cleaned his working area, and his pricing was very fair. Great job

Smilys electric came out same day and gave a really great price for some work my wife and I needed done. Ismael or as he calls him self, Brother IZ, knows his electricity. After the work was completed, Brother IZ shared stories of his early days as an electrician . He said he has been electrocuted over 100 times. Anyways do not hesitate to call Brother IZ. He does smile a lot hence the name.
This review is long overdue. After reaching out to at least 4 electricians, I chose Ismael for starters because he showed up on time (yup, other contractors didn't show up or were late). I also liked how he thought out of the box to help me with my project to install an outdoor outlet for my RV. I could tell he really wanted to help make my project affordable and effective. His work was clean and he finished the job within the estimated time. My wife was also happy with his work (and she can be picky). I'm really happy I chose him and will be reaching out to him for other electrical work I have. I couldn't recommend Ismael more.
I have used this company more than once and I will not use anyone else. Smily is the real deal fair price, fast work and great response time. So thankful! without electricity I had no heat . So thank god for Smily I am now warm
This company is awesome. They provide great service and really back up their work. They don't flake out like many other companies that make promises then fail to follow through. I can genuinely feel that they care about the customers and providing the best service that they can.
Ismeal is the DUDE!!!! Came over on short notice to assist with an electrical problem in my family's time of need. He was professional, fair, and thorough. I appreciate the help and will recommending him to anyone that has any electrician needs!
Ismael did an excellent job for our outdoor patio lighting! We couldn't be happier with it. He was very professional from the start, and I would recommend him to anyone. He does very good work for a very reasonable price.
We needed a light switch outside replaced. They came over right away, and it was finished in less than half an hour. The price was great and they let us know what was the problem with the old switch.
Great job. Arrived on time and took care of two electrical outlets for a reasonable price. Thank you for your service.
Ismael came out and installed a few new outlets in a timely manner. His prices are reasonable and he is very knowledgeable and does a thorough job. I would use Ismael's services again for my electric needs.
Ismael is a top notch electrician. He walked me through all my options when it came to installing an L2 EV charger in my garage. He easily adjusted to last minute changes I had for the layout and installed the EV charger with ease. For what I paid for the service he delivered, I can say that he is a truly fair in his pricing. Go to Ismael for all your electrical needs.
I really want to take the time to recommend Ismael and his work. He has now helped us repair several electrical issues/projects. He is always prompt, courteous, and professional. I like how he takes the time to problem solve and properly explain the issue and how he will go about repairing it. The other day he was on his way to work on a project for us and it just so happens a friend of ours was having an electrical issue that required immediate attention. I recommended him and he was kind enough to re-schedule with us last minute to instead address her urgent electrical issue. Best of all, his prices are far more reasonable than others.

From all the quotes I got for installing a 240V outlet for my EV, Ismael's quote was hundreds of dollars less than all the other quotes I got. He was timely, professional and had a mask on when he arrived. He did a very clean installation. I also asked him to help me change a couple of old recess lights to LED ones and he was happy to do it without charging me extra. I had such a good experience with him, I even recommended him to my neighbor for the same job. Ismael is going in my contact!

Would highly recommend to anyone needing electrical services. Called 3 other electricians and none of them were able to fix or diagnose my issue. Contacted Smilys through Yelp and they came out same day and found my issue when others couldn't. He also gave me a great price for the workload and would recommend to all my friends and family.
We had Smiley wire an outside shed, install sensor lights and recessed lighting. He did a fantastic job. He responded quickly and got the job done within our time frame and charged a fair price. He will definitely be our go to guy for any future electrical work.
I recommend Smile's Electric for you all. He was on time, adhered to my request to wear a mask, and most of all did the job within my budget. We had a nice conversation and discussed future work. Super nice dude and I will have him back, hopefully the business treats him well and he sticks around! Thank you!
Asked him for a quote. Had me and my realtor waiting over a half hour and didn't answer his phone nor make a call to give notice he wouldn't be there. This is after he initiated the need to meet for an accurate estimate. Caveat emptor.
On time and provided a great service. Fixed all my electrical issues in a very timely manner and at a great price
Company booked appointment and then cancelled after getting full briefing on the work necessary from the very beginning of discussions with them .. would not recommend !
Ismael the Electrician response to you ASAP. He communicates well, explains the problem in details and gives you a reasonable price. I am so glad I contacted him and he fixed every issues I had in and out of my house. I will definitely recommend him to my family and friends. Please don't hesitate to contact Smilys electric . I am relief that I know an electrician that I can trust when I have a problem electric related .

Smilys electric was quick to reply on an emergency call. Breaker went bad and he showed up to replace it. Good price and honest opinions about future upgrades.
Ismael was able to quickly install some ceiling fans for us, although one of the fans wobbled a bit he came back to correct it. Ismael also solved a problem with a flickering light fixture in our kitchen. I would use him again.
Ismael was awesome to work with and very easy to set up time. We got new rang hood installed and he did good job with all our complications we had with vent and patching. His price is reasonable. We also added new outlet.
For all the electrical work I needed to get done, the job was addressed quite professionally. In addition to that, Ismael even went the extra mile to make sure hardware parts were available, without any unexpected additional or extra charges. The total cost he charged for the whole job was definitely the clincher, fair & not over priced!
