Trout Electric saved our pool. After our last big rain the underground line that ran down the side of our home was flooded and the pool timer fried. We called and they were out the next day. electricians, Jeff and Robert were able to trouble shoot and explain the need for a new above ground line. They showed up on time were friendly and very respectful of both us and the property. They ran the new line, installed a new timer and filled any holes made. We couldn't be happier as they took the time to show us how everything worked. They even made sure our other power was up. We would recommend Trout, Jeff and Robert every time!

Excellent job and excellent customer service!

Had them come out today for a consultation. Scope of job and price was acceptable, and they were able to start on it right away. Job was done quickly, and they even helped me in making sure we get the right portable charger to utilize the fastest charge possible.

I would definitely recommend their service and will use them again in the future when needed.

I've been using Trout Electric for all my electrician needs for awhile, including changing my halogen lights to LED's, installing new electrical outlets and most recently installing a new electrical panel and EV charging unit.

I've had multiple different crews come out and specifically Gil and Aaron have been excellent and very helpful.

I have upmost confidence and trust in all the guys from Trout and their office staff is also very helpful over the phone.

Highly recommend!

I worked with Matt and Vince from Trout Electric to install a Tesla charger at my house. They initially came to give an estimate and I lucked out because they could accommodate and set up the entire charging system that day. Their service is friendly, professional, and efficient. I would work with them again. The pricing is reasonable given their level of expertise.

I had them install my Tesla charger in the garage - Trout Electric was on-time, fairly quick given the task and extremely professional.

It's been 3 months now and nothing has tripped. I highly recommend their services. Also, something to note that I found out after the fact that they did my entire cult-de-sac in the Inland Empire and installed most of my friends in Orange County as well.

I hardly know where to begin to express how incredibly impressed my husband, Art, and I are with the work done by Jeff and Robert.  Jeff has been so understanding of my concerns and willing, at every turn, to answer any questions and explain the work they will be doing.  Jeff has made recommendations, never being hard-sell in the least, with full description of the the work and the results.  They recently replaced a ceiling fixture for us, along with making upgrades to the electrical line in the attic serving the fixture.  They also replaced our whole-house surge protector, giving new up-to-date security. These guys are so careful and respectful of our home, which is appreciated beyond words.  Art and I have always been thankful for tradespeople.  Knowing we have electricians like Jeff and Robert we can call is a most comforting feeling.

Trout has been nothing short of amazing. I've contacted trout for an EV charger installation and from start to finish they've delivered above and beyond. Everyone at trout, from customer service, to the electricians Mick and Vince, to the final inspection has been an ease. Its money well spent and I wouldnt recommend anywhere else. If you want no head aches, this is the place to call. They will handle everything for you.

I want to give a special shoutout to Mick and Vince, who were the electricians Trout sent. They performed an awesome installation, and their attention to detail is very impressive. The installation was extremely clean and professional, they've hidden the cables so well that you don't even know it's there.

I'd been delaying getting our Tesla Wall Connector for home charging installed for months now because I thought it would be a hassle, but I had one of the smoothest experiences imaginable with Trout electric. After submitting their online form, in a couple hours, I had an appointment scheduled for the next day where I met Jeff and Robert, who took a look at our setup and gave a quote. Within a week of that, the same folks who came out for the quote were able to come out and complete it all in just a few hours. Jeff and Robert were great to work with, they even did the full installation through a crawl space and more in the midst of a lot of rain! Very professional, knowledgeable, and smooth. I'd happily work with Trout in the future.

Matt and Vince were absolutely amazing.
Initial quote discussion was incredibly helpful, talked through all the options, listened to my ridiculous ideas and told me why they wouldn't work but how to achieve what we were trying to do another way.
We decided to go with Trout specially because the two of them were happy to help and educate, and get us the work we wanted, within budget, while setting us up for the future more expensive work. Matt and Vince both came promptly, worked hard and gave us updates throughout the day. They made sure the work was done exactly as we wanted, everything was cleaned up afterwards, and all was explained.
We will definitely recommend Trout Electric, and specifically Matt and Vince, to anyone who needs any work done.

I want to give a shout out to Trout Eletric for the awesome job their techs do and great customer service. I have used them on multiple occasions for installing several ceiling fans, electrical outlet work and most recently installing a 240v EV charger. Compared to prior electricians I have hired, Trout Electric does a superior job and you can tell by their workmanship. They were always on time, quote you a reasonable price, and clean up after they are done working. Kudos to Dalton and Robert for the last job they did at my place.

Christian and his partner were awesome. I had a million questions and being a little tight with funds these days I asked for their honest opinions and all the options I had available to me. I loved how they didn't pressure me into a particular solution and let me make my own choice. They also went above and beyond and checked other areas and devices for me and overall these guys were just true gentleman. Being Asian, my wife loved how they asked about taking their shoes off before entering the house. I have zero complaints in the company, service, technicians, or the price. Will definitely get everything electrical done at Trout.

These are the best electricians around. All their staff is highly qualified and they are fairly priced. They provide an estimate before starting work. From simple repairs to complex jobs they are the company to use. If there was a 10 star option, i would give it to them.

We purchased a Tesla just recently and we needed the charger placed and set up in our garage. I called in and the phone was answered by a very friendly voice, she helped me get an appointment quite quickly. She said there was a four hour window that they would arrive in. The electricians arrived right at the start time she told me. They were professional friendly and helpful. Us being first time Tesla owners, they gave us so many tips and smart ideas on making the maximum usage of our electricity and the Tesla charging. if you're looking for an electric company that is Tesla certified reliable and professional this is the place.

I didn't get any service done by Matt and the team at Trout Electric, but I have nothing but great things to say.

I had a NEMA 14-50 installed by another electrician, but was left a bit unsatisfied with the initial installation. I reached out to Matt to get a 3rd party consultation - he was nothing but professional and responsive via email even into the evenings past business hours. Even though I had never worked with him, and likely wouldn't for this install (which I let him know), he treated me with respect and made sure to help in any way he could. He had his team come out and as expected, the cost of a new electrician vs. having my existing electrician re-do the outlet was just a bit too big of a gap for me to go with - they would have had to use their own wiring and outlet vs. the existing one.

Really happy with my short experience with Matt and his team. FWIW, they are a bit on the expensive side when it comes to EV installations compared to the competition, but their service is top notch. I am 100% positive that I'll leave happy with their service if I ever need it in the future.

Noah came out for an estimate for a charging station installation in my garage. He was able to recommend the beat product for my money.

I can say that Noah was very professional, he was reliable, communication was awesome and the install was super clean.

Will definitely do business again

From the time of my first call to Trout, the customer service, the free estimates, being on time, to the job being done well, I highly recommend Trout.

I originally called for an EV outlet in my garage and their knowledge was obvious. Dalton and Robert were as good if not better than any contractor I've ever hired. Professional, friendly, timely, and CLEAN. Just really good people who do a killer job for the price they quoted. Awesome.

LOVE Trout Electric. They're honest, reasonably priced, and very efficient. I've used them several times, and won't use anyone else. Among many things, they installed my chandelier, which took a lot of patience on their end. They also took the time to install my outdoor cameras, made sure they worked, and when they didn't work, suggested a better brand to get. When I got the new ones, they were quick to return to install them and made sure they worked right. Scott and Aaron are the best!

I had QMerit installation through my Chevy bolt Program. Trout electric was assigned to me for my Level 2 Charge installation. I submitted request and Trout Electric gave me quote within 2 days. Matt was very professional and discussed options with me over phone on Monday. They schedule in person consultation on same Friday. The guys came on Time on Friday and reviewed options. Price was reasonable. Matt worked options with me and installed it on same day. Great Customer service by Matt and Colin ( technician who installed my chi after)

Thank you Trout Electric

Contact Trout Electric to install my Tesla charging unit. They responded from my Yelp inquiry quickly. Made an appointment for a electrician to come out for an estimate. The estimate was little high but he did such a great job and exceeded all expectations with the install and his knowledge. Very happy with the outcome.

I would highly recommend them for you electrical needs.

Trout electric is the go to electric contractor who works all over Southern California. I needed to have a Tesla charger put in my garage. I was fortunate to have Matt from Trout come out and do an estimate and appraisal of what had to be done. I added several other electrical needs and we booked an appointment. Matt and Vince (Matt's assistant) came out today and were here all day long; and they were able to get so much accomplished including installing the Tesla charger installed, providing a new sub panel, putting in several Lutron casseta dimmers and connecting to my Alexa, and adding dimmers and on/off on several outdoor area lights. It was a long day and they were great, always pleasant, always helpful.  After  the work was completed (and it was night), Matt spent the time to make sure I understood what they did.  I have now decided to add electrical switch and ambient lighting in an outside patio. Matt provided a new estimate for another project I have full confidence Trout can provide.  Many thanks to Trout Electric: the best for providing residence and commercial electrical needs. NAL

We needed a EV Charger to be hooked up.

A new feature on the Yelp App, allows you to search for electricians (and other tradespeople) in your area.  

After clicking Yes to the feature, it puts you in direct contact (Via Messaging) to everyone
Matt Trout was prompt in responding, along with five others here in the greater Inland Empire, North County SD and the OC area.  

All of the electricians were CA licensed.  And though we went with some else, Matt Trout was helpful and answered all our questions.

My family moved in to our 1959 home and knew that the electrical was not up to par. Trout was the first company we called to do our whole house rewire, I got immediate good vibes from Mark and trout's policies. We of course shopped around a little but we knew that nobody could beat Trout.
     I cannot say how much I LOVE THIS COMPANY! Coolest, most professional, knowledgeable workers ever! Noah, Kenny and Issac, I can't sing enough Praises about them. They go above and beyond and are amazing at what they do. Bottom line they know their stuff. The office customer service is exceptional and up front about the process and pricing.
   I know I have found my lifetime electricians!

Needed to do some electrical upgrades in my garage for a garage door opener and water leak detector. Matt and Shane came out and did a great job! They were friendly, professional, detailed-oriented, and eager to answer all my questions. Even when he was first coming by to give me an initial quote, Matt put up with some random mosquitos that came in and started biting us. I highly recommended Matt, Shane, and Trout Electric!

Let me just tell you, I am over the moon about my interactions with this company. I needed an adapter or a wall charger installed for my Tesla and found them initially on Tesla's website and then of course I came to Yelp before reaching out. My first point of contact was a gentleman name Matt. Matt was so patient and helpful and responsive to my questions. I know very little about electricity and he was explaining the process in Laymans terms because my home was built in the 90s and not equipped necessarily for electric vehicle charging. And we spoke back-and-forth a couple of times throughout the day and finally figured out what the best option would be for me and scheduled an appointment for the following week. The electricians Aaron and another Matt came out to do the installation of the receptacle for the adapter because that was a better fit than the wall charger. They were very nice as well. Very professional and efficient. Explain the process as they went along. They did have to do some cutting of the right drywall to run it from my laundry room to the garage which is connected by one wall. They re-inserted the 4x4 pieces that they cut out so that I could patch up the areas. They cleaned up behind themselves. I was very thrilled with the whole process. I would highly recommend them their services. And when I am ready to upgrade to a 200 amp panel, which probably won't be for about another year or so, I will definitely reach out to them to do the work. Great job and great service!

These guys just do awesome work! Had Trout Electric come out today to install a 14-50 outlet in my garage. The technician that installed the outlet was named Robert.

I have a cabin in Joshua Tree and Scott and Kenny showed up to my property perfectly on time, even with a few hour window. Our property is a bit off the beaten path and have had nothing but problems with electricians either not showing up, not answering the phone, never available, or just looking for big jobs. I called them. they scheduled an appointment within 48 hours and were punctual and friendly.  Scott and Kenny identified the problem immediately and fixed it within 5 minutes of arriving. they gave me an amazing price and had them in and out in less than 20 min. they are really good with dogs as well. our dog doesn't really like anyone but Kenny had my German Shepard playing outside. I will use this company and request Scott or Kenny if possible. If you live in the desert and can't find reliable electricians call these guys. they will continue to get my business!!

Giving Trout Electric 5 stars for their fabulous service a few days ago.

First, I want to say I am grateful to the field manager for waiving my emergency after hours fee. This company shows compassion and empathy for their customers.

I had an appointment with a different electrical company based on a reference given to me by my neighbor. Well, that reference was the WORST EVER. That company stood me up on my appointment  and left me scrambling around last minute trying to figure out what to do. They canceled because their tech was called to do a job at a mall and canceled on me without any type of communication and left me worried and wondering where they were 3 hours later. Long story short. They stood me up and didn't care.

Trout electric came to my rescue. TROUT ELECTRIC IS WONDERFUL! They came out after hearing my story that I was left high and dry by another company. it was an emergency service that needed attention. I desperately needed to fix a power issue to my fish room, which houses 7 aquariums which I have poured a ton of money into and could not bare to lose any of my fish and 5 fresh water shrimp colonies.

Trout electric not only came out promptly to get power up and running for my life support systems, they helped me get more power to that room so that in the future, I wouldn't have any circuit issues.

They came to my aid and honestly, they saved me from losing a thousand dollars in fish and shrimps.
Thank you Trout electric! You guys are the best! I will be recommending you to everyone I know!

We first had Trout install an ev charger.  They were very polite and professional.  They asked us a lot of questions on what we wanted and did a great job.

I didn't hesitate to contact Trout when I had a problem with my electrical panel.  They were quick to respond and again, very polite and professional.  I had asked them if they had time to install a bathroom ceiling light and they took care of it.

I've put them in my phone contacts and they are the first company I will call for electrical service.

Responsible, responsive and emblematic of professionalism, Trout Electric shines across the board. From larger projects (install of an EV Charging port) to troubleshooting/resolving issues (garage door unresponsive), this team is equipped to handle the job, and swiftly. Their communication is superb, the work is immaculate, and the team is both friendly and professional. Highly recommend Trout Electric.

Matt and Shane came out to install an EV charger but had to add a breaker  and move some circuits. They did a good job and cleaned up after themselves....They left for the day, but then I ran into a problem around 11pm that night. A few of my thermostats threw power errors and the AC wasn't working. I called Matt on his cell and he answered while still working on another job. He understood my frustration and came out the next morning by 6:45a and was able to resolve the issue in under 20 minutes. Great customer service isn't too common these days, but these guys definitely know how to treat a customer. Even though the job wasn't done, they made sure to come back and complete it....that's awesome! Highly recommend Trout!!!

I am so happy I ended up going with Trout electric! I had a really terrible experience with a different electrician I was considering for my job (I reviewed that company as well if you're interested) and got quotes from a handful of other places and Trout was absolutely the best option for so many reason. I needed an electrician to install a Tesla electric car charger and it took a week or so to get an appointment, but it was worth the wait. Dalton and Bailey were the technicians who came out for my appointment and they were amazing - super professional and knowledgeable. They quoted a price that was right in line with the other estimates I collected and the option for a permit was actually a little less expensive than some of their competitors. They also automatically give you the option to get a permit with the price, but explain that you can opt to pull your own permit if you want to take that charge off. If you pull your own permit, you will actually save a little (I think it was about $150-200) but that means you need to do your own drawing and such when you submit it to the city, so if you want to get permits, it's worth the money to just pay them to submit the permits for you. If you don't care to get permits at all, you can just opt to pull the permits yourself and then not pull them. None of the other electricians automatically quoted a cost for the permit and when I would ask, they would kind of insinuate they don't recommend permits and that no one gets them - which is probably true that many people opt not to get them, but there are also a lot of people like me who just want to get everything done by the books and technically you are supposed to get permits. Being so adverse to a permit made me feel a bit skeptical that those electricians were working in line with the most current construction codes and standards. However, the fact that it is customary for Trout to quote with a permit and then with the option to pull your own, made me feel that they were 100% confident in the work they were going to be doing would pass a permit inspection, regardless of if you were actually planning to get a permit or not. Anyway, they were able to install the charger the same day and it didn't take long at all, maybe an hour or so. They submitted all the permit paperwork to the city and a few weeks later I received a packet in the mail with the permit and all I had to do was call the city and have an inspector come out to sign off on it, which was super easy to schedule. The inspector came out and signed off - the whole process went very smoothly.

I cannot overstate how fantastic the entire Trout Electric team was from start to finish.

Matt Trout did a virtual walk-through of my property over Facetime, laying out exactly what to expect, and even saved me some money by talking me out of the Wall Connector since it would be useless given our maximum amps. When another Tesla Certified electrician told me they could install a subpanel and piping outside our property without ever having to go through our drywall, Matt was kind enough to jump on Facetime again for a second walk-through and patiently explained to me how there's no way that kind of install would pass inspection. The irony is the Trout quote was still $1k less than the supposedly cheaper external quote. Saved me a ton of money right there.

On the day of the install, Matt (different Matt) and Gil were super helpful. They installed a brand new breaker box to replace the ancient and potentially dangerous Zinsco panel (at a discount). The dry wall cuts needed to add the new wiring were very minimal and they left them in neat pile in the garage to make patching easier for my dry wall guy. They tested and labeled each of the new breakers, and were very polite and courteous. Professionals through and through.

When the car arrived, I plugged it in and I'm now drawing 32miles/hour charging, exactly as it should be. Fully charged a Model 3 Long Range in about 8 hours. Matt and Gil did a great job with the piping in the garage, and it's nice knowing I have a brand new breaker box that won't catch fire.

If you're looking for an EV charger install, go with Trout. They'll treat you right.

Don't use this company. Job took a lot longer than quoted. Left one job before completed to start another job. Didn't pass inspection. Took many days between fixing issues.

They were very, very, very business like.  Where as some of the other companies discussed the problems and solutions, these folks hardly spoke to me at all.  Handed me a yellow copy of the estimate and left.

We plugged in one of those space heaters and of course got a short.. several high estimates later we got a great estimate from Trout. They came out, ON TIME, and found the plug that just had come loose at a reasonable price! Great service will be using them again!

I initially spoke with Matt about the scope of work we had.  He was professional and knowledgeable.  I reached out to a few other places to get competitive quotes, however, after speaking with Matt, I knew I had to go with Trout Electric.  It was the best decision!  We had a total of 4 ceiling fans we wanted installed, 3 of which had no attic/crawl space access, and 2 of which were in vaulted ceilings.

Aaron and Kenny came out to do the installs.  These guys were professional, caring and knowledgeable.  They explained everything and asked questions as needed to get our opinions.  These guys did an amazing job.  You can tell they take pride in their workmanship.  I am so happy I decided to go with Trout Electric.  We will definitely be calling Trout Electric for the next job.

I truly cannot say enough great things about my entire experience with Trout Electric. Professional, timely, and extremely easy to work with - I'm a huge fan! Kenny and Noah were fantastic - arrived timely and were incredibly courteous the entire service visit. They were kind, funny and very professional. They represented Trout Electric very well and I would ask them back for additional service in a heartbeat, if needed. Thank you, Kenny and Noah, for doing such a great job for me! I am incredibly grateful!

Trout electric completed a panel upgrade on my home. From the beginning Trout was responsive and helpful. I received four bids. Although not the lowest bid. After our initial consultation Trout left me with the best impression they would see the project through completion. I was right. My project was completed in a timely manner and met all safety standards imposed by my city to meet all city permit requirements. They even returned to make some minor changes requested my a nit picky inspector. I will definitely recommend Trout Electric to family and friends. (Technician on project Christian)

Trout Electrical rewired my home nearly a decade ago.  Their work was excellent.  Their individual attitudes and work ethic  are unmatched for professionalism, concern and kindness.  This company has continued to provided me service and has always surpassed my already favorable impression. I wholeheartedly recommend this company for all electrical needs.

I don't normally leave reviews, but Garrett & team did a very thorough and clean Tesla Wall Connector install at my condo. Most importantly, it will pass code from the most stringent inspector. They recognized the challenges of the install at the quotation process (limitations at the condo main panel, and the route from the subpanel to the garage), and worked to find a solution. All other electricians balked at the job, but they welcomed the challenge.

For both quotation and install, they arrived on time, executed the work efficiently, cleaned up thoroughly, and were friendly throughout.

I did a lot of research on electrical code and crawled through tight spots in my attic with the intention of doing it myself before I called Trout. I guarantee I could not have done a cleaner job and it would've been a multi-day job for what they knocked out in a few hours.

I can see why they are highly rated on Yelp and recommended by Tesla.

Trout Electric recently completed an extensive electrical upgrade for a triplex rental that we own in Pasadena. We are thankful to the Trout team for their patience, knowledge, attention to detail, and hard work. I was referred to Trout by Tesla, and over the course of the job, we learned that Trout has a long history of pleasing Tesla customers, back to the days of the early Model S.

At our triplex, we were committed to performing the electrical upgrades necessary to add EV charging stations, with the added benefit of opening the door to future use of electrical appliances such as heat pumps instead of burning natural gas. We decided on wifi-enabled Tesla Wall Connectors because most EVs sold in the US today are Teslas, while Amazon.com sells adapters that enable other EVs to use Tesla chargers.

Early in the process, Gil made it clear that we would need to upgrade the electrical service from the street. For maximum EV charge speeds and greatest flexibility, we wanted to establish 400 amp service, to be shared by three meters and panels for the three units. However, it became clear that the City of Pasadena would charge a hefty premium to provide anything above 200 amps for a single parcel, so we ultimately settled for a shared 200 amp connection. Trout Electric was very patient with us during this process, and helpfully shared suggestions as to how we might in the future incorporate power sharing via DCC devices so as to make the most of the 200 amp connection.

Once Trout secured the necessary approvals, the actual work took a few days. The City-mandated main disconnect and the three new meters were relocated to the front of the building, conduit was laboriously routed through the crawlspace under the building for optimal aesthetics, and the new service panels were placed in the rear of the building where the previous panels had been. As there were space constraints, Gil worked hard to optimize the placement for access and aesthetics. Then, conduit was run underneath the building, underground to the garage, and to City-mandated disconnects for the charging stations. One charging station was installed for each garage parking space, along with standard 120 volt outlets that may be used for charging small-battery vehicles.

We were then responsible for hiring someone to perform significant stucco repairs and painting. None of this was a surprise to us, as Trout was very upfront during the entire process about what would be required of us. We also did whatever we could to move vegetation and rocks out of the way.

Upon completion, Pasadena inspectors raised issues over very small concerns that we felt to be pretty nitpicky. For instance, the City insisted on extra labels next to the meters, even though the existing labeling seemed quite clear and unambiguous. The City also asked for removal of additional vegetation and decorative rocks near the meters. Trout had to order special labels in an expedited manner, and a technician even helped with some of the related yardwork. Under Matt's leadership, they were willing to quickly do whatever was necessary to take care of us and our tenants.

We will undoubtedly have additional electrical jobs in the months and years to come, and Trout Electric is now at the top of our list of contractors to call. I only wish that a relative to whom I recently referred Trout had been patient enough to listen to my advice rather than rushing forward with the first available contractor, who has proven to be less communicative and responsive than was my experience with Trout.

So totally pleased with the work completed at my home today by Gil and Erin. I originally was going to have a new light fixture that required wiring, just for dusk to dawn lighting, but Gil told me about another option with my existing recessed lights on my patio that would work even better and save me a few bucks. They installed this new programable switch I never knew about! Now I can return the $125 light fixture too! Thanks guys for the awesome service.

Called to make an appointment for an estimate on a EV charging plug install. They are pretty busy so they came about 1.5 weeks after my call but the techs arrived right on time at 8am and got done in about 1 hour. Reasonable price, informative, professional and answered all my questions before starting the job. Will definitely call them back for my other electrical needs in the future.

Trout Electric is a handy, reliable, and professional business that knows their stuff. Recently, I've hired the Trout Electric team to help m install a Tesla Powerwall. Keep in mind this is new technology in 2020 and Trout Electric was not only technical in their understanding of this new product but also informative with how we can include this with our home for the best optimization. Their service was efficient, they got the job done when they said they would. The customer service was friendly, and communicative. The owner Matt, came to make sure that the team was having all the procedures done and done right. I can gladly say that I will be back with Trout Electric for additional jobs in the future.

I am so impressed with Trout Electric.  There customer service is excellent which is what I was exactly looking for.  It is hard to find that these days any more. The ladies, who work there, pick the phone up right away; and, call you to let you know when they will be arriving for your job to be done.

I had Erin and Nathan come to my house.  (Nathan worked along side Erin.) They were very professional, kind, and arrived on time.  I had explained to Erin what had happened with my Thomasville Hutch that I still have because an excellent piece of furniture.  The 2 lights inside of it had been flickering. I tried to use the dimmer to turn it on inside and it would not work.  I had then gone to Lamps Plus to get LED bulbs and others to try.  I brought them home and the hutch would not turn on. When Erin was here, he tried to turn it on; but, it would not except when he would wiggle the dimmer after turning it all the way to the right.  Then it would stay on.  He showed me how to do it. He mentioned to me, also, that he felt he really could redo the lighting inside by: installing 2 new puck lights inside my hutch.  He researched it first; he than came back into our house and gave me a go and he went to Home Depot to get them, came back and then made sure they would fit.  They ended up fitting beautifully. Erin is a Miracle worker.  He did a beautiful job. His work is perfect; I could not believe how fast he installed the lights and also took the old lights and wires/cords down from on top of the hutch.  I have a switch now in back of the hutch to turn it on and off.  He took the time to make sure that I would not see the cord with certain attachments he had with him.  Amazing.  Everything was left clean.  They even put plastic down in front of the hutch when doing the work.  Erin explains things very simply so you can understand.  He is the best!  I will be having some lighting put in the house and some garage lighting to be done.  I will be using Trout Electric now; and,  will see Erin and Nathan.    Thank you again, Trout.....Erin and Nathan.

It was our first time dealing with Trout Electric and specifically Noah came to our house.  He was prompt, respectful, friendly and knowledgeable.  He gave us advice, recommendations and quickly fixed our electrical issue with one of our outlets.  We have a immune compromised member of our family in the house which the secretary noted. Noah came with mask on and booties over his shoes for us and that sort of respect for our request is priceless.  Thank you thank you thank you!  We will be using Trout Electric again for a much larger job we need done soon. Can't recommend them enough!

I hired this company after seeing their reviews. Hanna was very prompt in answering the phone calls and reminding of the schedule. Garrett, who came to do the job was extremely courteous and diligent. He was patient and knowledgable to explain things to me. He took care of a task that I had a hard time to explain and get done through other electrical companies. I wanted to have a new outlet and a connection from it to plug in the garden light. It was a complicated process to bring the conduit around to that area. But he did it in such a way that the final outlook was not bad at all. I expected that it might be a sore for the eye. But he did the best to hide the conduit as much as possible. It came out better than I expected. He also installed the Ring door bell and walked me through it and since the WiFi connection was weak he suggested what better way I can enhance its strength. When I had a problem with the WiFi extender, he came by to help me with it (even though I knew that was not the problem with the electric). He did the job meticulously. He also suggested ways to save money in the future. After 4 years of living in Lake Forest, I finally got an Electrician who is prompt and did the job as I expected.
When I noticed a problem with one of the installation, they came right away and took care of it. The attitude of all staff is remarkable. This is something very important to me.

Because of their amazing work, we had them come back multiple times for other items around our house.

Highly recommend Garrett!

The guys showed patients and great professionalism. They wore mask upon I meeting them at the door. They couldn't fix the pull chain to my old fan even when they ordered the same equivalent part from Harbor Breeze. The part from Harbor Breeze just didn't work with my out dated ceiling fan.

They instead offered to install a new fan once I bought one and take away my old fan for free. They came and installed the fan and entertained my son. Great job guys and thanks for installing my new ceiling fan.

For our new home we just purchased, we needed to switch out the 6-50 plug in the garage to a 14-50 for car charging.  Aaron and Kenny were the techs that came out for the job and they were not just ordinary electricians.  They KNOW car charging and were very friendly, knowledgable, and professional.  

After assessing the power demands in the home, i.e. A/C units and oven, they gave their recommendation and quote.  We talked about different options with safety being top priority.  For instance, the current 6-50 plug (non-grounded 3 prong plug) has 8 gauge wiring.  In order to support the higher amperage load of a 14-50 plug (grounded 4 prong plug), they would want to swap out the wire for 6 gauge.  Unfortunately after they got started, they found that the 8 gauge wire was stapled inside the wall and could not be pulled out.  Alternatively, Aaron and Kenny were able to install the 14-50 plug, giving it its own dedicated circuit.  This was actually better because they were able to install the plug at the front of the garage where one would want the plug for rear car charging rather than front charging.  Plus with a garage wall dedicated to a sub panel, tankless water heater, solar system, water softener system, fire alarm, etc, what is one more plug?

The guys even went above and beyond to show and educate us on the whole-home surge protector and what we should do in the event of a brownout.  No question was too dumb and they seemed to enjoy answering all of our questions.

After Aaron and Kenny were done, we all made sure the cars were charging correctly and everything was working.  I highly recommend Trout Electric because of the quality of employees that showed up and did the work and the cost was most reasonable.

I called because I thought I saw sparks in an outlet. The person I spoke to on the phone said he happened to have had a cancellation that morning and there were techs in the area. Matt and Jeff came by within the hour and were professional, polite, efficient, and took great pains to be quiet while I was working in the same room, which I did not even ask them to do (I can handle noise, but we did not discuss it either way). They worked quickly, fixed the issue, recommended some extras fixes, and were on their way.

Landlady asked for a W9 as they were leaving. They did not know what she meant or why she thought they would have it (they were absolutely right), so I emailed the office. Again, a super-fast response with the proper forms the landlady needed and no questions asked.

From start to finish, everyone involved in fixing our issue from answering our first call to wonderful technicians to answering our last email was wonderful. Highly recommend. They deserve every start they have.

Gil and Shane arrived on schedule time.  They were professional , courtesy, and follow Covid-19 guidelines.  After reviewing the setup, they provided all the necessary information and options for me to make a sound decision.  I am always very happy with the outcome when using Trout Electric, similar to my previous experience with the installation of the Tesla Charger, I am planning to continue using their services when I am ever in need of electrician.

Thank you Gil and Shane for your work.

I called Trout and was happy somene was on the line but unfortunately, their truck was on a service call. However, the gentleman who picked up was so nice, he offered to try and help over the phone. To my surprise, he was able to guide me and helped fix my issue! Finally, the lights are back on and I will be able to get some rest tonight. Trout Electric, you don't know how THANKFUL I am for you.

He helped me to check if any canceled appointment and arranged his group to do a free estimate on the same day. After that they got issues fixed everything back to work again. That's unbelievable awesome especially in this days. Now I understand why this company received all 5 starts reviews. They are definitely the greatest, highly recommended.

My power had been cutting off during the summer. Called them and they had diagnosed upgrading to 200 amp panel. Keep in mind that the stucco will be knocked down and need to pay and find someone else to patch it up. The install only took the afternoon to complete. Only thing you might need to do is to constant follow up to make sure they file your permit and mail to you on time so you can schedule with the city inspector. Everything else looks good!

Side note my board was fried due to previous licensed tech installing my EV outlet. He just installed it without proper wiring and not letting me know the power was not enough.

We were getting multiple quotes for repair and expected today to end in just that- a quote and no more. But Mark and Matt went above and beyond to not only diagnose the problem, but get our power up and running!

We have more projects to be done and will definitely be calling them again! I was so impressed.

Found this company through Yelp and was impressed from the reviews. They actually have a person who handles scheduling and who booked me for the next available appointment including the names of their crew who would be coming to my house. They provided me a checklist of things I needed so I can have my charging station installed the same day. I've already done my due diligence on some of the items on their checklist including the building permits so it's essentially already a straight forward job order. Prior to the set appointment, I even receive 2 voice messages as a reminder of the scheduled installation. Collin and Matt arrived on schedule they even gave me a courtesy call 15 min prior to their arrival. Collin is very articulate in explaining what they are doing and how they would set things up. I was asked if I have any preference to the layout on how and where the charger will be installed but instead I left it up to their own discretion as to where it will practically and aesthetically fit or mounted. In short it was a job well done as you can see the following pictures. The city approved the installation in one visit. Overall it was a Job well done. Thank You Trout Electric! Looking forward for more projects ahead.

Went to Yelp for electricians in Corona.  Trout had great reviews.  Called and office staff was exceptional.  Appointment was set up and Christian and Tyler came to my house.  I showed them what needed to be done, explained what they would do, told me price, and I put them to work.  Christian and Tyler were professional, neat, and did a fantastic job.  Office staff kept me informed, since Christian and Tyler had to make several house calls, of dates and time.  Could not be happier with their work and so happy to know that Trout is there when a problem arises.

In a new development the builders decided to put the 4 pin light bulbs in the recess lighting for the kitchen. They were good until the light bulbs died after 6 years. After looking up how to replace the bulb and realizing these are not readily available, I decided to switch them out for LED. Used Yelp to ask for a quote, received a fast response from the owner. He mentioned that those lights are a pain to change and quoted me $98 per light. They are busy so be prepared to wait a bit. Waited around 10 days before they came. Once they arrived they gave me the same quote but had to go to their warehouse to get the LED lights. That was the only downside is that they didn't have the lights with them. However they worked quickly and in about 3 hours I had brand new LED lights. They even cleaned up the place really well before they left. Overall I'm a satisfied customer who's happy to have a well lit kitchen.

My knowledge of electricity is limited to Ohm's law and theoretical tensor mathematics... enough to stay out of trouble and lead to the prudent decision to hire a real electrician.

I needed to get a NEMA 14-50 outlet installed.  We had Trout over for a quote.  Apparently they had us marked and we had sucker written on our forehead.

They quoted $1040+, permit included.  Mind you, the electrical panel is immediately behind the wall.

With a little effort I found a quote about $400 cheaper from a c-10 licensed electrician who did a kick@ss job.

Granted, this is a free market and they can charge what ever they want.  But I don't have time for nonsense or time to waste on high ballers or contractors with Golden Screwdriver Syndrome.

Gil came out to give an estimate and was very informative and straight to the point.  We wanted our overhead lighting in the living room and kitchen installed in different places than the original installment.  Gil and Shane did a tremendous job and were very professional.  Felt like they were never there when they were working.  They also pointed us in the right direction to get the drywall fixed from the original install.  I highly recommend asking for Gil and Shane if using trout electric.  Awesome job and awesome guys!

Loved that they showed up in masks. Very professional, courteous and friendly. The work looks impeccable, clean lines. Scott and Mack were awesome! I HIGHLY recommend Trout for all of your electric needs, especially for Tesla home chargers. They have performed over 10K installations and are very familiar and knowledgeable about Tesla. I'm so excited! I got my home charger installed and I pick up my brand new Model in just two hours! Thanks guys for making this day really special !

We had multiple items replaced or repaired by Aaron and Nathan, including under cabinet lights, issues with light switches and a shower fan installation.  The work was done quickly and all function great now. Aaron and Nathan were both great and I would recommend both of them and the company.

I had a great experience with Trout Electric. They came out to my house next day to give me a quote on what i needed done and were able to fit me in the schedule relatively quickly. Dalton and Robert were my electricians and they were both very polite and professional. They did a great job and we are very happy with the 2 patio heaters they installed. Definitely recommended.

Matt Trout and his team are outstanding! They answer the phone when you call. They schedule everything including city inspectors. The show up on time. Their work is impeccable. And the whole team of electricians and administrators are warm, kind, and knowledgeable. Rare qualities for a tradesman team in So. Cal. They are my new go to electricians and the only ones I refer to others. Absolutely amazing. Bravo Trout Electric! Dr. Paul

Trout Electric upgraded my electrical panel from 100 to 200 Amps and installed a Tesla wall charger. I couldn't be happier with their service from start to finish. They wowed me at every step of the process. The owner Matt replied immediately to my request for a quote. Their professional and friendly service started with Katie the receptionist. She set up my appointment right away. Scott came over and gave me a quote that was very thorough. I was impressed with his assessment and recommendations. I received several bids from other local companies but there was no doubt that Trout Electric was the winner.  They handled the entire tedious permit process with the City of Pasadena. I received a call and a text from Katie reminding me about the appointment. Nice touch. Scott and his assistant showed up at 8 a.m. They worked diligently until about 8 at night.  And wow, they did such an amazing job! They left the entire work area super clean. They labeled all of the breakers, programmed the Tesla WiFi wall charger and gave me very clear instructions on how to use it. They also waited until I plugged in the charger to make sure it worked properly. I strongly recommend this company for any electrical work, especially panel upgrades and EV wall chargers. It's no wonder they're listed on the Tesla web site.

I am new to this whole EV (electric vehicle) world so I was unsure who to hire. Sure enough I checked out Yelp and did some research and spoke to a few prospective companies that I was to potentially trust with my home. I enjoyed Trout Electric's respectful stance. They did not make me feel like any of the questions I was asking were stupid. Quite the contrary, they educated me and took the time to explain the protocol and process. I met with Gil and Christian, both very approachable and well mannered. I could not be a luckier gal, I got to work with two great gentlemen and true professionals. My new Tesla wall charger looks and works great and Gil did phenomenal job. Christian is also a true sweetheart, very polite.

Note to any and all future prospective consumers, Tesla themselves recommended Trout Electric. Do your homework and ask - call Tesla yourself. Five stars all around. PS - To the owner Matt, please applaud Gil for his sense of humor as far as I go, it's a lost or rare rapport. Reason why I took my time on this review is because he is professional and funny. So glad Christian has him as his guru. Keep up the good work guys.

We got our brand new Tesla Wall Connector (w/ 24 ft. cord) installed by Scott and Noah from Trout Electric this past weekend and it was an awesome experience overall.

Scott and Noah arrived on-time and were extremely professional the entire time. I had initially only booked them to have them perform an estimate for the installation, but after they checked everything out and wrote up the quote, I was ok with the price. (Pro-Tip: if you mention either Yelp or their website promo, you get a slight discount, too) I signed the paperwork and they began immediately to install my brand new Tesla wall connector!

Even though they initially told me it would take about 90 minutes, the whole installation took about an hour. So that was pretty awesome that they worked pretty fast to get it installed. They even had to take photos of both the breaker box and the final installation because they have to send it to Tesla in order to keep records of the customer installations.

All in all, Scott & Noah did a superb job and I will definitely recommend them and Trout Electric in general to anyone looking to install EV chargers or simply any electrical work. Five * all the way!

We unexpectedly lost power to select outlets in our house, one of which supplied power to our fridge (which we had just stocked with food!) and we knew we were in trouble.  We were obviously very worried we would lose hundreds of dollars of food plus whatever the cost was to repair the issue. We started to search Yelp for electricians in our area but didn't have much hope for finding someone before Monday, as it was late Friday afternoon. We read the many Yelp reviews for different companies and decided on Trout. We reached out to Trout and they responded immediately AND were able to send someone out to us within two hours! The two men who came out to help were so polite and helpful and tried to figure out where the issue was. They ended up solving our problem and did it for FREE. They were quick, saved us hundreds of dollars and did it all before the weekend! 100% would use them again and am saving their contact for all future electric issues we may have in the future!

Trout was one of Tesla's recommended electricians to install the charger.  They did not give me an estimate over the phone like some did.  They wanted to come and see the place at no charge to give an estimate.  Fair enough.  I did make the appointment.  Today the company called to see if the crew could come early.  I was delighted that I got the call for the change of appointment time.  Colin & Matt came on time and looked at the set up, did some load calculations, and explained thoroughly what they were going to do and even educated us on the panel we currently have.  They gave a very fair installation quote and explained our other options.  Colin and Matt were excellent and did the job well as my husband and I watched them.  They were very neat and clean.  I would give them more than 2 thumbs up, if I had them :)
I highly recommend Colin & Matt of Trout Electric.  They were very professional & respectful & reasonably priced.  Thank you very much.

I had additional electrical work that needed to be fixed. I love the outdoor lighting that Trout Electric installed! They came as scheduled and cleaned up after themselves! Again I want to thank Trout Electric for their amazing customer service!

Trout was one of the companies listed by tesla as a local electrician for an outlet install. Very professionally run company, but price was high for what was essentially just putting an outlet through a wall an ev charger.  Further, the outlet they put in was upside down for the tesla charging cable. The tesla cable is shaped so that it is supposed to go down from the outlet with the ground on top. The company installed it going up. I understand there are lots of different electric vehicles, but I feel they should be aware of what the tesla cable looks like since it's such a common device. Also, the charge for permitting is a significant amount extra. I would shop around if I was to do it over again.

Excellent service.  They were kind and very professional.  A mask was worn the entire time and followed social distancing.  All of their jobs are on record and they stand by their work.  They installed my NEMA outlet for my Tesla 4 years ago and they did an outstanding job.  I am writing this review now because I thought I was having issues with it and had them come in to check.  They came and everything was fine.  They already had me on record and they didn't even charge me for the service.  Like I said, they stand by their work.  I highly recommend them for any electrical work.

My fiancé and I were very pleased with the exceptional service. Garrett and his partner came by to give us a quote for a 240V. They were professional, helpful and knowledgeable. Assisted in searching for the appropriate car charger.
Installation took about half an hour. Garrett offered to come back and mount our charger for us at a later time, as we did not receive the screws with our charger initially.

I would definitely recommend Trout Electric for all your Electric needs!

This is the second time this company provided great service. We initially had them install our Tesla charger and Scott did an excellent job.  This time we asked them to hang a chandelier and install a motion sensor on our garage. Aaron and Shane did a great job. Aaron had to double, triple checked to ensure it was working perfectly. Kudos to these guys! We will definitely use this company again.

Gil and Christian from Trout Electronic were absolutely amazing!!! Professional, courteous and extremely knowledgeable.
I had called several different electricians and they were either unable to fix my problems, unreliable or just flat out refused to work on my electrical issues. But Gil and Christian worked AND FIXED all outside electrical issues, including a complicated pool heater issue. I was a bit skeptical at first when I was told about the diagnostic service fee. But I am so thankful I paid for it. They fixed all of my electrical problems and didn't charge for anything else. It was definitely worth the money. THANK TOU SO MUCH TROUT ELECTRICAL, AND A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO GIL AND CHRISTIAN!!!

This morning Aaron and Gil came out to advise us regarding Tesla charging options for our on order Model Y.  After listening to our driving habits, they recommended an appropriate solution and installed a NEMA 14-50 power outlet and a 20/40 quad to make room in the breaker to power the new outlet  and helped me order the Gen 2 NEMA Adapters we would need.  They also reminded us to call SCE to change our plan to reflect we now had a an electric car.  We were very impressed with their professionalism and courtesy.  We would highly recommend Gil and Aaron and Trout Electric.

I want to thank Gil and Tyler for taking the time to help my husband when he had fallen when out for a walk. My husband has been battling some health issues and was out walking with our youngest child. His foot got caught on uneven concrete and he fell. Gil and Tyler,without hesitation,pulled over and got him back on his feet. Their true character came shining through! I am grateful they took the time to help a perfect stranger. This also speaks volumes of the type of people Trout employs.

I can say enough about the wonderful customer service and skilled professionals that came to our home to install a new Tesla charger. Kenny and Aaron are just the A-team. We have a challenging home as it is over 60 years old, but they navigated it and did a WONDERFUL job. My garage looked better when they left than when they started. We had other estimates but we decided to hire Trout because of the confidence we had in Kenny and Aaron. They really know what they are doing and we did not feel that confidence with competing companies. They answered all my questions and helped me with my electrical learning curve. This will be my first electric car so they were super helpful. I highly recommend them. I can see why they are on the Tesla website as the go to electricians. I am so glad we hired them. Thanks Kenny and Aaron, you guys are AWESOME!!!

This was my second experience with Trout Electric, and both were fantastic. Gil and Christian first installed my Tesla wall charger at the end of 2018 and were very friendly and easy to work with. Because it was an older home, they gave us some options and clearly outlined them, as well as letting us know which would be the safest and most reasonably priced for our needs. They did their work efficiently and everything worked great.

Fast forward to June 2020 and my Tesla app said charging was interrupted. After testing that my car was not the problem and flipping the breakers to try to reset it, I called them up. It was a Wednesday afternoon and even though they were lined up with customers they said I could be squeezed in at 7am on Friday, which was fantastic. The next day at 10am, I received a call saying they were ahead of schedule and could see me some time from 1-3pm that day. Even better!

When they arrived (within the quoted time window), both Gil and Christian greeted us like old friends (with proper COVID-19 social distancing and masks) since they remembered us and the work they did way back during the installation. Even though the problem seemed to have fixed itself after I flipped the breaker off and it reset when they turned it back on, they tested the charger itself to make sure there was nothing internally wrong with it and did some other tests. I was slightly embarrassed about calling for nothing, but Gil said it was no problem and walked us through the process of what to do if the same error happens again, including what to tell Tesla if it turns out to be a defective wall charger. They didn't charge me for the visit, even though I'm pretty far from their usual service area. I would definitely recommend Trout Electric and will use them again in the future!

Colin and Robert crushed our Tesla Wall Connector install, and made a clean, neat, quick job of it. I liked that they gave me four estimates for the job, low to high, and knew exactly what they were doing start-to-finish.

They receive my highest recommendation!

We needed to install a Tesla Wall Connector (formerly High Power Wall Charger).  Our challenge was that we had only a 100 Amp electrical panel for our house and have plans for a solar installation in the near future.

Found Trout Electric from a few mentions on Yelp but the clincher was they were recommended by Tesla so we called and made an appointment to have someone come and look our situation over.

Gil showed up and talked with us to figure out exactly what we needed.  We figured that with the current 100A panel, we would come too close to maxing out the rated load on our panel and really needed a panel upgrade to accommodate the Tesla Wall Connector and our future solar plans.  We decided on a 200A panel upgrade along with a 50A NEMA 14-50 outlet in addition to the Wall Connector.  Additionally, we needed a conduit run across our garage space due to our garage setup.  With everything worked out, we set the installation date.

Several easy phone-calls were exchanged to arrange for coordination with our city and SCE to prepare for the job.

The day of installation arrived and Gil and Christian showed at the appointed time and had SCE there to shut us down.  Gil had informed us that the job was relatively simple and that the panel update, Wall Connector and NEMA 14-50 outlet would be done and the system (and our house) re-energized the same day.  They lived-up to that promise and we were with power by mid-afternoon the same day and had our Tesla connected and charging at home!

We will still need a few touch-up drywall work after the panel replacement but Trout has arrangements with some folks (Zeke) and the next day, Matt (the owner) called and helped with making the arrangements to finish things up.

So, a simple job was made even simpler by some good interaction, both with the electricians and with Trout's office, all of which made the job very painless.

Tesla did very well by recommending Trout for this work and we would not hesitate to engage them for any future electrical tasks we might need done.

Good job, everyone at Trout!

Yesterday Gil and his team came over to install a Tesla wall charger and inspired so much confidence bc of his patience and genuine enthusiasm to explain how things were working that I quickly asked if he and his team do more than just tesla related work. Within minutes I was explaining some other projects and Gil and his team got to work, that same day, with transparent pricing and completed, correct work. I left feeling like I found a new electrician and worried about posting this review for fear too many people would want to work with Trout that I didn't want to share. Ha, but that wouldn't be fair.

First, let me say that I don't write a lot of reviews, but felt compelled to write this review to share my experience with Trout.  It's hard to find a trusted company these days, so yelp reviews are helpful.
Dalton and Colin arrived on time. They both wore a mask. They were respectable and very professional.  They wore shoe covers when they came into my house, which I really appreciated.
Diagnostic was fast...they figured out the issues and got right to it.
I thought their pricing overall was reasonable; it may seem pricy at first glance, but if you weigh the professional care you get, the one year warranty for the work, then you will realize it's worth it.
When I had a question about the service and pricing, Matt, the owner?  reached out to me very politely, to explain to me and address all my questions. Truly professional. Definitely will use them again.

Great Company.  We lost power to our house as we were setting up to leave for the weekend on a camping trip.  No one was available to help as it was 6-7pm at night.  Trout Electric picked up the phone and walked us through our situation.  Thank you for your help as it was great!  They helped us out with our situation and got us going!  Great job as they saved us the weekend and a huge headache....  Great job and anytime we need anything with electrical, we are calling Trout Electric.

Trout electric replaced my 30 year old recessed lighting with new LED lights.  They also installed new recessed lighting in my kitchen.  They did an excellent job and were reasonably priced.  They arrived on time and were professional.  My lights look great!

So glad I chose this company to fix my electrical issue. Last night my 3 bedroom outlets all just shut off so I called and got an appointment for the next day. The two gentleman that came out were very friendly and got the job done quickly.
This company has 5 stars for a reason and I'm glad I chose them.
Thank you again

Gil and Christian came over to install a Tesla wall charger for my Tesla 3 and also a new electrical panel. They were very professional throughout the entire job.

My house is older and has a couple of quirks that they had to work through: a lack of an attic fan, beams in weird places with weird spacing, etc.  They made sure to communicate various solutions to these problems to me whenever they encountered them.

They went above and beyond to get the job done and done right, even when it took a bit longer than expected because of the issues they had to work out. They also took extra time to clean up and label the circuits on the panel.

If i need to get any electrical work done (Tesla related or otherwise), they will be my first call.

In hopes of getting my Tesla Model 3 in the next week or so, I called some electricians to come out and give me a quote to install a NEMA 14-50 outlet.  

Trout Electric sent out Gil and Christian on a day a time that worked best for me. They were prompt and very professional. After looking at the current setup, they told me options that would be best for my request. They took the time to explain what was needed and how the job would be completed.

When we decided to use Trout  we were given days and times that would work for our schedule and did not have to wait a long time for the appointment.

Day of the appointment Gil and Chris were prompt and really did not take long to finish the install. They even cleaned the area where they worked.  Gil and Chris were very professional.

We would definitely use Trout for any future electrical needs.

Highly recommended!! Calls were always returned within the same day. I had the pleasure of working with Gill who helped me install a Tesla Charger and upgrade my electrical panel.  During the initial consultation, Gill came (with a mask on) and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand.  I also greatly appreciated that he was able to fit me into his schedule on a Saturday.  Everything went smoothly and everything was finished within 2 weeks.  I will definitely work with them again in the future if needed.

Well done guys

Thank you for installing our new NEMA plug. Good service, prompt and quick install. Very knowledgeable. Can't wait to plug in our new EV.

Update: got my Ghost Rider Model X and plug worked perfectly. I also had an instal by a Tesla authorized installer in NV and it was 1/3 the cost of install in Cali. Tesla Club pages are saying most companies are price gauging in CA. Wondering if this is true and if anyone else has experienced a cost 3x more in Cali than elsewhere.

Gil and Aaron overhead the conversation I was having with an associate at Home Depot regarding a breaker needed for my residential A/C unit (none of the hardware stores near me - including this and other HD locations - had the breaker in stock).
Out of the kindness of their hearts, Gil and Aaron GAVE ME ONE they had with them on their service truck...
I was blown away by their generosity and willingness to help me out.
I'll be calling Trout Electric for all of my future electrical needs!!!

I was calling around for service and they initially booked me for a week from now.  So I told them that I will look elsewhere for an earlier appointment. A little later I received a call from Matt stating that he would be able to get my service done today. I booked my project with Matt and he and mini Matt did it the same day. I didn't have the correct breaker so they were nice enough to grab the right one for me. Shortly after the new breaker was installed and he made sure the equipment was working perfectly. Their service is fast and efficient and would definitely hire them for future projects. Thank you Matt and mini Matt! You guys are awesome!!!

I was doing some simple replacement of several of my GFCI outlets that were popping into the fault position and when completed, one of the GFCI's kept popping and triggering all of the others to pop as well. I was tired of trouble shooting, using all of my golf words and throwing my tools across the room in frustration. I sucked it up and called for some professional help.
I consulted YELP to find a highly rated electrician company to assist with what I could not figure out. Trout Electric was at the top of the list so I gave them a call. The young lady who answered the phone was nice and very helpful in securing an appointment for me for the next day.
Scott arrived with his apprentice promptly on time and proceeded to dissect the problem and come up with a solution. He was kind enough to show me where my mistake was but even with completing the job correctly, there was still an issue of all the GFCI's popping when power was restored.
When our house was built, who ever the contracted electrician was, wired the house in a not so standard way and put GFCI's all over the place. All of the GFCI's fed each other so when one failed, they all failed through out the house. Scott was able to isolate each circuit and make each GFCI independent from one another. That solved my problem and now all of our bathrooms are good to go.
Scott and his apprentice did an amazing job diagnosing the deeper problem that I could not resolve and did not take all day to do it. They were in and out in about an hour and a half. Thank you Trout Electric for the assist with my needs!

Highly recommended. Fast appointment and showed on time. Before starting work they explained their process and all fees.
All the power outlets in 3 bathrooms just stopped working. These guys were relentless troubleshooting, traced down the failure and got power restored. Only took a couple of hours.
No additional fees, they stuck to their original quote.
Will use them agin!

I needed to have a ceiling fan installed in my children's bedroom, Mike came out to give me a free quote, he was on time , very knowledgeable and was able to discuss with me how the service will be performed. I called to schedule the appointment and the front office was very good about sending a reminder text message. Mike and his partner came  early they wore PPE, completed the job in record time and made sure that the space was left clean upon leaving.

Dalton and his parter showed up at 2:58 for a 3-7 window. Already we were shocked because no one shows up early. They got right to work with an estimate. They gave us many options for the work we needed and made safety suggestions. When we decided we were shocked that they would do the work SAME DAY! Seriously?! They even made sure that our kids weren't online with school anymore so that they wouldn't be disturbed with a loss of power. They did a quality job, put everything where we actually discussed, left the area clean, and went over everything before they left. My husband and I are still in shock of how smoothly the experience went. We will never call another electrician ever again.

Great company. I got 6 quotes from Yelp. This company was by far the most professional. They had a pre-printed sheet of their services and costs, so there was no haggling or mystery about the charges. Some of the other companies just gave a top-of-the-head figure without anything in writing. This company also is the best at communication. They have a secretary who answers the phone and gives all messages well. They have an auto text message feature to remind you of appointments. I had some difficult repairs from 20-yr old rotting electric boxes as well as a cast iron 10-ft tall lamp post they had to remove. I am super happy with their work. And the guys were so friendly, kind, and respectful. They worked into the night to finish in one day.

Job: install 14-50 NEMA outlet in an underground parking lot for EV charging in a small apartment complex and coordinate with Santa Monica permit building and safety office & SCE.

After getting multiple bids on this job, Trout Electric convinced me to work with them due to their service record, specifically when doing EV charging installations for Tesla. Most importantly, Gil who was sent out to assess the job site was the most friendly and professional amongst the competition. His experience doing the installation of this type and interfacing with SCE directly were critical.

Gil and Chris were also the field electricians on this job once the plans were approved by the city - and they were absolute professionals along this whole process. I really enjoyed having continuity of my specific electrician for a job that required multiple job site visits.

A surprise caught us once they completed the work as it relates to some obscure code rule that the city failed to bring up before work began.

In other circumstances, this would have been a nightmare, but Matt and Katie at the main office were incredibly attentive and sympathetic to my situation. They corrected the issue very quickly after it was flagged: for no extra charge (!) - which speaks to their professionalism and their business ethics, despite the city and SCE screwing up the approvals process.

Thanks so much Trout Electric!!!

I am writing this as follow-up of a review I DIDN'T write earlier, but should have.

In August of 2016 (a year and a half ago), Trout Electric replaced and upgraded my electrical from the original panel that I had. At that time I was completely satisfied with their work and would have given them 5 stars.

This February, in 2018, I was moving some furniture that we had against the wall where they had worked, and discovered that the drywall had been cracked fro the outside. I sent an email with a picture of the damage to them and they responded right away, setting up and appointment to look at it. Matt went right to work repairing the wall and making things right.

I can highly recommend them, not just the fine work they did, but also for the great follow-up afterwards. I think that is the better test of a company. What happens when things go wrong.

I called Trout electric and over the phone he walked me though fixing my problem.  I wasn't doing the breakers right.  He was so patient.  I still can't believe it.  I called so many, told them my problem and no one told me it could be solved without charging a service call.  One came out and quoted me $650.00.
Words can't express my appreciation to him.  Now I know why he has so many 5 star reviews.

LIFE SAVERS! My business lost power around 530 today, we open till 9pm. We had a full shop, two stations lost power, our reception desk lost power, AC shut off. It was horrific, two clients tried the breakers, my uncle came to help trouble shoot, no one was able to give me any kind of solution. All my barbers were booked back to back so we couldn't close shop, clients started helping us look for electricians at about 8pm. Some companies were hesitant to come out, others couldn't give us estimates on how much we were looking at to have them come out. I was losing a little hope.

At about 8:40 pm my last client calls Trout Electric, the gentleman on the phone was very clear on how much it would cost to come out, how much it would cost to trouble shoot and a ball park number at how much it could turn out to be. I have no idea why I told my client to tell them we would call back. I got my credit card out and called them right back, same gentleman was courteous and polite, told us they would be at our shop by 10pm. They got to us by 920pm, impressive.

In person Matt was very professional and helpful. He listened to what happened and went right to work. Back up came to help within minutes of arrival, I had no clue where the outside connections were but told them I thought it may be behind the building. Not once did they seem inconvenienced by my lack of knowledge which made me appreciate them that much more. When they came back from checking behind the building they said a fuse block had to be replaced and that unfortunately most places that sell those aren't open till Monday BUT that his contact can open his store for him to buy the piece tonight for an additional price. Considering my business is open 7 days a week and weekends are my prime business days I didn't hesitate. The guys went to pick up what was needed and even called me back when they got back to the building so I didn't have to wait there.

Everything was back to normal within 2 hours of arrival and that included going to pick up a piece about 30 mins away. I was so thankful I asked for more cards when they gave me one to call back if I had anymore problems. In my business referrals are the best compliment so all my clients will be hearing about this amazing company. They saved my business from suffering! I can't thank them enough, we will be posting their card all over our social media.

Thank you guys so much!!! You will definitely be my go to company from now on, with customer service and great work like this I know you'll be around for a long time.

Most of all, Katie who handles permit paperwork, went the extra mile and made my appointment, when l called the office. the OC inspection request now must be done on line rather than just calling for an appointment !! That website is just awful. Thank you Katie

I needed to have my RING Doorbell replaced. Camera failed. Out of warranty  and added a new surveillance camera. 2 days before my appointment someone called to verify my appointment and provided me with the name of the electrician  assigned to the job. My appointment was between 11 - 1. Mark showed up at 10 minutes to 11. He was very polite and listened to what I needed done. He made a few recommendations and had the camera installed and programmed within  an hour from the start of installation. It took a bit longer for the RING DOORBELL. Overall I was pleased with the job and will use  TROUT ELECTRIC again. The prices are fair and the employees  professional and reliable.
The owner, Matt, contacted me today to follow up on the service I was provided last week. To say the least, I was floored. Trout Electric  goes above & beyond to earn your  business. Nice
12/9/2019 UPDATE
I had to call  TROUT ELECTRIC again because  one of the overhead lights in a bathroom went out. After replacing the bulb and other troubleshooting efforts it was time to call in a professional. The lady who answered the phone was very pleasant. She arranged for Matt to come over this afternoon between 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM. Matt showed up shortly after 1:00 identified the problem and replaced the fixture in less than 1/2 hour.  
TROUT ELECTRIC is my Go To Electrical company. Professional, Honest and Fair! Thank you  Matt!

Short story: TRUSTWORTHY!

Long story: After becoming completely baffled with a DIY electrical project  (I swear I was doing everything right) I called Trout Electric.

A service man (forgot his name) came out, checked over my work, and determined things looked good.  I would need to pay 199 dollars for a service call and trouble shooting.  Fine.  I signed on the dotted line.

After checking the connections with an electrical meter and seeing that the wiring was done right he pressed the reset button on the gfi outlet.  He said now try it out.  

I plugged in my lights and we had power!

I swear I had done the same.  I just didn't  push the button all the way in! Damn.

I was ready to learn a valuable lesson and pay up.

The service man politely said there would be no charge for I had already done the work!  They could have easily taken the 199 and I was legally bound to pay.  

THANKS Trout Electric!

Professional from the moment I called them. Live (not machine) friendly customer service on the phone. Noah and Kenny extremely punctual and understood my needs to install my new Tesla wall charger. My installation was harder and more time consuming then most, since my garage is at the furthest point from my electrical box. But these two kept their professionalism until the job was done. Even complying with my need to have the wall unit waist high so I don't have to raise my arms every time I charge my car. (My arms are usually sore from the gym-hehe).
Thank you Tesla for recommending this company!!
I got all this and a reasonable bid as well.

Our lights where flickering and power was in and out. I went to yelp and messaged for a quote. Trout responded (on super bowl Sunday none the less) and a technician was out the next day.  They diagnosed the problem quickly and ended up we needed an entire new panel and upgrade.  They stayed until the job was done (7pm) and we were more than happy with the work and employees.  I can't speak for price as we didn't quote it out but as far as promptness and professionalism, 5 stars no doubt.  Thanks guys!!

Scott and another guy (Sorry I forgot his name) came over to our house this morning to give us a quote on installing Nema 14-50 adaptor for our Tesla Model 3. I called a few companies trying to compare since it would be a big project. Scott and his guy are very professional; they showed up at the expected time frame. Scott was extremely honest and gave us suggestions that would save us over $1500. After they left, I canceled my appointments with the other companies I scheduled with. You will not go wrong with them. Thank you Scott for being honest with us.

On Sunday evening, our power started to flicker throughout the house and our pool equipment quit operating. By early Monday morning, our home only had power in two rooms. I called Trout Electric at 8am on Monday, and they dispatched Mark and Matt to inspect our service. Mark and Matt arrived at 9:00am and began inspecting the electric service. After their inspection was complete, it was determined that we needed to replace our breaker box and breakers. Mark provided an estimate on the spot, which we approved and they started working to rectify our issue. Mark and Matt remained professional during the entire installation, cleaned up the demo debris and walked us through the new equipment operation. We highly recommend Trout Electric, Mark and Matt. Thank you for being professional and addressing fire hazard issue.

I really want to give this company and Scott the highest rating possible.  The company did was very good job with scheduling and called me several times during the window to keep me updated.  Scott came and quickly diagnosed the issue and finished the installation of the lighting fixture.  He answered all the questions I had. The price was very fair and I am very happy with the service.

Gil and Scott came back out for a 2nd project. Schedule was full until the end of the year but they were able to squeeze me into the end of their busy day this past Tuesday.
I had some backyard string lights that I had installed under some backyard sails but needed power to them.
They had quoted me a price and given me a estimate after the 1st job. Job cost was as stated with no funny business.  
They were able to install a control box and conduit in about 35 minutes.
Once again, they are very efficient, professional, and timely.
They also clean up after themselves and leave the area cleaner than when they arrived.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TROUT ELECTRIC FOR ANY OF YOUR JOBS. GET IT DONE RIGHT THE FIRST TIME EVEN IF IT COSTS A LITTLE MORE. YOU WILL SAVE IN THE LONG RUN WITH THE HIGHEST QUALITY WORKMANSHIP.

Matt and Christian came out to replace a bathroom fan. They put in a brand new Panasonic with great suction power. They did a professional job. They were kind and courteous. They did a thorough clean up after. They ran into some trouble when my attic wall closed up the area they were trying to access. They improvised and came up with a solution. I was impressed with their knowledge and professionalism. I will be a repeat customer and recommend them to others.

Also, I needed some drywall repair. They recommended a contractor named Zeke who came out the next day and did a great job. He was honest and very fair priced.

Trout Electric came to my rescue!!!  I had a smoke detector that suddenly began draining batteries.  It didn't give the typical chirp warning.  I came home to it blaring like there was a fire on Friday night so I put a new battery in.  It went from silent to blaring again while I was asleep on Saturday.  Luckily I had extra batteries to shut it up but it wrecked my nerves so badly I couldn't fall back asleep for 3 hours.  

I began calling electricians on Sunday morning desperately hoping to find someone to come out because I didn't want to be startled in the middle of the night like that again!  Another company said they would come on Sunday but then cancelled. I tried calling others but since it was Sunday most didn't answer.  Matt answered and said he was pretty booked but could get someone out on Monday.  He gave me an estimate over the phone which was much better than what some others were quoting.  

Mark and Kenny arrived in the time window Matt gave me.  They were both very friendly, neat, and cleaned up after themselves.  They went above and beyond.  Mark educated me on how to properly maintain the detectors like spraying them monthly with those cans of air so the sensors continue to work properly.  Kenny noticed a missing outlet cover that I misplaced when I painted and replaced it at no extra charge. They also provided a referral for drywall and paint.  I can't say enough good things about them.

And, I will be hiring them again in the future. Thanks Trout Electric!

I called Trout Electric earlier this month, but they said the soonest that that could come would be 2 1/2 weeks. Daulton and Kolin the 2 electricians showed up at the time they promised. We showed them what we needed done which was to hang a ceiling fan, install 2 new light fixtures and repair a GFI that was not working. They gave us a fair price and completed the work in a timely manner. They brought in plastic sheeting to protect our floors and cleaned Both electricians were friendly and explained everything they were doing. We are pleased with their service! Thank you!
I had some additional work for Trout Electric to do  
such as installing 3 new exterior lights. Scott and Matt showed up as promised and did the work quickly and professionally!! Both were personable and explained everything they were going to do and charged a fair price. We will all them again for our electrical needs! We highly recommend this company!

Working with Trout was like a textbook case of professional, reasonable, friendly interaction.
A pleasant-sounding lady answered my first call and scheduled an estimate visit, which was free of charge.  At the scheduled time, Mark Going and Colin came, discussed my need (to install a porch light fixture), explained exactly what the job would entail, and gave me an estimate.  It was exactly the same as other ones I had received via phone calls, but they took the trouble to preview the work in person.  The estimate was certainly reasonable.  We scheduled a time to perform the work.

A day before the scheduled time I received a verification call from the office.  Mark and Colin came on time, performed the work very quickly and efficiently, had all the parts and tools required, and didn't mind the fact the I hung around asking them questions--such conversations with professionals are an excellent opportunity to learn.  After completing the work they cleaned the area (they had a vacuum cleaner, along with the other tools), and left the place looking exactly as they had found it.

The whole experience, from beginning to end, proceeded the way one hopes such experience would proceed.  At no point did I feel rushed or pressured to buy extra equipment or services that I didn't need. At no point did I feel uncertain about their expertise or the information they provided.

Highly recommended.

I called Matt with a question about my AC as I was installing a new Nest thermostat.  He took time to troubleshoot the issue with me over the phone.  Although he did not have availability same day, he took time with me and I will definitely reach out again next time I have an electrical issue.  Thanks again!

We worked with Garett and Dylan on installing our Tesla charger. They were on time, courteous, and delivered. They were a breeze to work with. Garett gave us a quote, we agreed and from start to finish they were done within 2 hours. They did a really nice clean job. My hubs and I couldn't be happier. We'd highly recommend them!

Excellent in both service, price  and quality. We called them and made an appointment. Very friendly staff. Before the appointment we received both a text and phone call to confirm date/time. Turned up as promised and was both friendly and professional and gave a free estimate. Has excellent organized paperwork with clear pricing so everything is seen upfront. Price was competitive to others. Installed outdoor fan and outlet as agreed on. Just seem like a professional and trustworthy business top to bottom. Would highly recommend.

I am usually skeptical about 5-Star Reviews, especially with contractors, but Trout Electric is exactly what you want out of a tradesman and more.  Thank you very much, Matt & Matt!

**Clear communication & streamlined scheduling**
I exchanged a few emails with Matt so that he could better understand the work, and his responses were very polite and prompt. We decided to proceed with the job, and the next day a kind representative called to schedule an appointment. I was in no rush to get the job done since I wanted to get quality work, as well as my location being outside their usual service zone, so my appointment was scheduled several weeks out. I received a call two days before to quickly review and confirm, and a text the day before to remind me of the appointment.  Both of which I really appreciated.

**Quality Work**
Matt, and his partner, Matt, arrived within the appointment window. I needed a NEMA 1450 installed to charge my Tesla, and they were very knowledgable on what needed to be done. They clearly shared the plan of action and promptly finished the work in half the quoted time. After, they did an inspection of my electric panel, and identified errors from the previous electrician. Before proceeding, they provided options, and raised any potential risks, to fix the issues. I have had dozens of contractors visit my home, and Trout Electric is by far the best service professional I have encountered.

**Fair Pricing**
In my particular case, Matt found ways to lower my bill without sacrificing service and quality.  For example, he found existing conduit that sufficed to get the job done, saving time, money, and headaches. With Trout Electric's honest, cost-saving approach, the final bill was a fraction of competitors' pricing and well within my expectations.

Contacted Trout electric last night after we lost power upstairs, super fast response to the quote even after 9:30pm, we tried to troubleshoot over the phone but ended up doing an after hours service call, fast response and Mark was very professional and explained everything so we understood it & what went wrong. Definitely thankful to have found this company and will be the only call should we need it again!

WOOHOO! He did attach his cell phone, it was just forwarded to the main office because he was on the other line.
Matt was able to squeeze me in the next morning for the estimate and offered to do the job right then and there.  Definitely top notch and I'm very happy with his work and professionalism.  Super nice guy too.
The years/decades of experience was obvious and his knowledge of past/current/future EV car tech was awesome!

Maybe just train the receptionist or work out another system so that clients, like myself, aren't told they have to wait 2 weeks for an estimate.

Will use/recommend again for sure!

Our technicians were friendly.  They always called ahead and were mostly on-time.  But I cannot recommend this company because of poor attention to important details and a general attitude of doing whatever to get the job done rather than getting the job done well.

I'll start with the big problem.  They ran conduit that had to pass through exterior walls.  They didn't seal _any_ of the places where it penetrates the walls.  In other words, they left gaping holes on the exterior of my house.  Holes in walls, leaving the walls vulnerable to water intrusion and thus future mold and rot problems, and holes in vents so critters could get under the house and wreak havoc.  Luckily I knew better and recognized their shoddy work.  Less knowledgeable home owners would have ended up paying tens of thousands of dollars some time in the future once their walls had filled with black mold.

When I asked them about it, they were blase and made excuses about how it didn't really matter.  Yeah I guess gaping holes in my walls and vents aren't a big deal.  I mean, when does water ever get on an exterior wall?  And mouses never attempt to get under a warm, cozy house in the winter.  Silly me.  I'll be sure to tell every other contractor and home inspector that caulking and sealing your home is a waste of time.

Second problem; they didn't caulk any of the exterior light fixtures they installed for me.  Again, water intrusion risk.  It says right on the instructions of the light fixtures to caulk them with a clear silicone caulk.  Takes two minutes.  I had to do it myself because I'm the one who ends up paying to rip out and replace the moldy walls a few years down the line.

The overarching issue is that the technicians would always opt to do things the easy way rather than the right way.  There was no reason to run that conduit I mentioned on the exterior of the house, where it becomes an eye sore.  It should have been routed through walls.  But they didn't want to put in the effort.

I asked them to install a light switch by expanding an existing box to a double gang.  Instead they gave me excuses and told me it was easier to just put another single gang next to it.  Is that easier?  Sure.  But it looks worse.

On top of all this, they are _expensive_.  So why pay all this money for average workmanship?

I think the problem stems from them charging a fixed rate for their work, rather than charging hourly or something more flexible.  That might sound look a good idea at first, for the home owner.  It always sounds nicer to know how much something is going to cost ahead of time, regardless of what issues might arise during the work.  But it also means they are incentivized to finish the job as quickly and easily as possible, rather than doing a good job.

Contrast this with my new electrician who charges hourly, regardless of the work.  His attention to detail was _amazing_.  Making sure to straighten out outlets and aligning the plate screws so they look aesthetically pleasing.  It's little, rather unimportant things, but it means he pays attention to his job and goes the extra mile.  So I feel more confident that an electrician like that will also pay attention to the _important_ details.  You know, like sealing holes in my walls...  And despite charging hourly, they end up cheaper than Trout's estimates for the same work.

I hate to be so harsh on Trout.  The techs were friendly and I don't want to come off as judgemental.  But I care about my house, and most importantly I care about my finances.  I'm not keen on little mistakes that could result in huge repair bills down the line.

On top of all that their work wasn't completely up to code and I had to have another electrician fix that.  (It wasn't anything dangerous, but it's something an inspector would throw up on if they were inspecting my panel).

My advice?  Find someone else.

We called on 3 different contractors to give us an estimate on upgrading our electrical panel and making our home EV ready. Of the 3, Trout electric was by far the most professional. We were happy with their estimate and agreed to have them do the job. They did exactly what we wanted in one day and did a beautiful job. We couldn't be more pleased. Thank you Unrue Garrett, you guys rock!

Trout Electric is the preferred installer for Tesla wall chargers. I found them in Tesla's website. They are pricier than other places, but they do it the way it's supposed to be done. I originally got my charger installed by a cheaper place, but as with all cheaper places, they cut corners and don't do it right. Unfortunately, the electrical in your home is probably the last thing you want to go cheap. As with anything, you get what you pay for, and Trout Electric is a good example. I highly recommend them, especially if you're getting a Tesla wall charger installed.

This is the best, most professional electric company I have seen in a while. Their staff definitely knows their stuff. I had them install a Tesla Wall Charger. No wonder their Tesla's number 1 company. They came highly recommended by Tesla. They were right. They listened to my endless questions about their services. Once I felt comfortable with it, they provided prompt and friendly service. They even discounted my job by 10% when i mentioned yelp. Go with this organization. You will not be disappointed. They even warranty their work for a year!!!

Had some initial confusion with Trout Electric's technician that came out for a quote. Was then followed up on by their owner, Matt, who answered all my questions and personally came out to our home to rectify. Any business owner that cares about their customers like a Matt does deserves a 5 star review. Thx Matt!

Called out 3 different companies. Scott from Trout was the first to show up, he went ahead and fixed the problem for a reasonable rate and then we hired them on the spot for additional upgrades. I went ahead and cancelled the other two companies from coming out. I will continue with the professional's at Trout.

I wish I could give Trout Electric 1000 stars. They were by far one of the best companies I've ever had to do business with. Scott & Dalton were AWESOME! We bought a new house and had to replace our electrical panel in preparation for eventually installing a second AC unit upstairs. Since we were doing that we decided to do all of the other stuff on our wish list - replaced all of the light switches/dimmers, replaced all of of the outside lights (8), replaced exhaust fans in all bathrooms, and had ceiling fans installed in all of the bedrooms (there were no existing ceiling light fixtures so they had to do everything associated with that). Pretty sure we had a few other things done as well but can't think of it at the moment. From the second Scott and Dalton showed up to quote the job, I was super happy and impressed with their knowledge and professionalism. When they were out quoting the job, I asked a couple of other questions related to the pool lighting that stopped working two days after escrow closed and the pool equipment. They took a look and fixed it right then and there and showed us what the problem was. We told them we had a couple of other companies coming out to quote the job but would be in touch. We called them like 30 minutes after they left and scheduled the work. Even if we hadn't had two previous and terrible companies come out and quote us, we probably still would have instantly called them back. Seriously, we spent a small fortune overall on this job but I couldn't be happier. PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND JUST HAVE THEM COME QUOTE  YOUR JOB. You won't regret it!

I saw their nice looking vehicle in my neighborhood so I thought I would give them a try.  Garrett stopped by on time, and jumped right into troubleshooting my door bell that for some reason was not getting power to my Ring Video Doorbell system.  He and another employee didn't stop until the problem was solved - even calling Ring support to make sure it was working properly.  The pricing was great and the service was amazing.  Would definitely recommend, and I will be using them from now on.

Garrett at Trout Electric easily and successfully installed a 240v outlet in my garage for my Tesla. They did it in less than an hour and took care of the city permit. The whole process was seamless- you can definitely tell they know what they are doing! Garrett is extremely friendly and easy to work with. Katie at their main office was also very accommodating and helped us schedule both the estimate and installation appointments. I've already recommended Garrett to many friends, I'm confident in his work and professionalism.

Ok why I didnt make this call eariler is beyond me. Mostly because everytime I need a plumber or electrician we get royally screwed. But nope not this time. This time Trout is going into my speed dial. Namely Gil and Scott. Holy crapballs these two were like wizards. First off my pet peeve is service people not being on time. My time is valuable but Gil n Scott.....right on time AND a courtesy call before they showed up which was early in my time frame. They are super courteous and really careful with my vintage fixtures which no one else seems to give two craps about. They went above and beyond and Ive gotta say in todays world I truely appreciate it because thats a rarity. If I need electrical work again and can request my workers it would be Gil n Scott they really are the two best things since sliced bread! Highly recommend!!

They came today, troubleshooted the problem pretty quickly and saved my house from almost catching fire! So now all my outlets are working and I can wash clothes again.

Hands down the best customer service ever and great price! Call Trout electric if you want great service and your electrical problem solved!!!

The switch in the garage was awful and they did an amazing job fixing it up. We were so impressed with them. They were really nice guys. Even our dog loved them.  John and Noah really went above and beyond and we will only be going back to them for all our electrical work!

These guys are awesome. Our air conditioning unit stopped working this weekend and it was 110 degrees in Corona. I called the air conditioning company who installed the unit, and even though it is under warranty, they couldn't send anyone out for 3 days. I called Trout Electric right away because I knew it was an electrical issue and they send someone out in the matter of hours. Garrett and Eli did a awesome job and they were able to figure out that the air conditioning company wired the unit incorrectly. They fixed the wiring in no time and now our unit us running perfectly. I highly recommend using these guys.

Update from previous review.... some how the owner contacted my husband concerning a review that was written (negatively).... they got to talking and my husband explained why we were so turned OFF by their service... to make a LONG story short, owner mailed us a check for the troubleshooting charge ($199.00). I was so amazed and truly impressed on what outstanding customer service he provided!!! He is a true MAN of his word and I can respect how hard he is trying to keep a good reputation.... if you are looking for an electrician contact the owner you will not be disappointed!!!!!

I truly hope you will take the time to read this review in its entirety.  I had family coming into town on a Thursday.  I received a call from my bride of 26 years and she informed me that the AC in the main house and the AC, fridge and have the lights were not working in the guest house.  I finished work and made it home by 8:30 pm that night.  I grabbed a headlamp and a voltmeter and began diagnosing the issue.  Shortly after 10 pm I informed my bride (of 26 years!) that I had no idea what was wrong.  She was justifiably upset as we now had no where for our guest to stay.  I began a search on yelp for electricians in Norco.  I found a company called Trout that had good reviews so I called.  I was connected to a gentleman named Matt.  I explained the situation to him and he let me know that he didn't have anyone available for the next day but to my surprise he asked me to facetime him so we could fix it right then.  Please remember is is now well past 10 pm!  At 11:45 we found the problem and he talked me through a fix!  Who does that?  Amazingly when I asked how much I owe him, he simply said he wanted to help and I owe him nothing?????  Never before have I had this generosity, NEVER!!!!  To make is even more of an amazing experience, Matt called me the next day to make sure that it was still working and asked if I need any additional help??  Seriously, who does that these days?  I came to find out later that Matt is actually the owner?!?  Completely blessed by him.  He left my wife in tears and me in shock.  He took the time to care for a random customer late in the night.  I am indebted to him and he now has a customer for life.  Since that time, all of two days, I have told 6 additional teachers friends of mine and used this experience to instruct my students on the integrity in business. Even as I write this I am still amazed!  Thanks, you made a huge difference!   C. Fanning

From the get go they were quick to return my call and came out in a few short days! They were honest and up front about the work and the price! We felt great hiring them! They came and completed all the work in a day and did a great job! We are very happy! We will use them again if needed and also will definitely be recommending them to our neighbors and friends!

Impeccable work, great customer service & very very punctual! Gil & Scott rang the doorbell 10 min before our consultation appointment & a couple of hours before the installation appointment, ready to do the permanent install instead of just the temporary fix. Only talked to Matt on the phone but I am amazed @ how well & swift they got things done, including the meter spot  (although it helped that already got In touch with Edison before I even called them) & getting the city permit. Their price was not the lowest but also not the highest- very competitive!  Really happy with their work!

The electrical technicians that came to my house, Gil and Scott, were professional and knowledgeable. They treated me like family. I could tell that they were genuinely interested in making sure they did the job exactly to my liking. They replaced 2 ceiling fans, installed a new ceiling fan, replaced a chandelier, installed electrical/charging outlets next to my bed at bed height. They also did miscellaneous small electrical fixes. I'm glad I used this highly rated electrician. It doesn't pay to use anything less. Thanks guys for a job well done!

My previous review (which is now deleted) was negative about Trout Electric. However, after I posted the review we promptly received a phone call from the owner, Mr. Matt Trout. He was very kind and apologetic . He told my husband that he would send his electricians back to our house to assess the problem with our wall heater thermostat and that there would be no charge. The guys returned to our home and within 30 minutes the problem was detected and the repair job was completed. There was no charge for their work. We are very happy once again with Trout Electric. Thank you Matt for your generosity and professionalism and thanks to the electricians for their knowledge and efficiency.  May God bless you and Trout Electric business with success and prosperity for years to come. - Joe & Esther Millan

Been meaning to post something positive about these guys but just haven't had a chance to until now. They installed an outlet for our outdoor TV and quoted us on some other bigger jobs we needed done eventually. Man, these guys were awesome! Sincere, honest, straight to the point. You can tell they know their stuff and committed to their word/schedule. The job was even clean and professional. He made sure I was satisfied before leaving. Even gave us some tips about our electrical box and told us the shady work that was done from a previous (unlicensed) electrician. Had he not noticed, our house wouldn't have been up to code or in flames by now.  Phew! Love that they take care of their customers, even small time jobs like us residential home owners. I'll send them more business for sure. Thanks especially to Garrett!

I called Trout Electric based on all the wonderful Yelp reviews and was so happy that I did! They have the best reviews because they really are the best.
I recently just moved into the area and needed ceiling fans installed, light fixtures, and trouble shooting with an electrical socket. Matt was able to schedule me in quickly and was happy when they showed up on time. Matt and Mark were super helpful, clean, and quick. Super knowledgeable and very professional, but still very open and easy to talk to about any concerns that I had.
I am very happy with my choice and will definitely be recommending them to family and friends.
Thanks guys!

A big thank you to Trout Electric, and especially Christian and his able assistant.  We called them to have the 100 amp breaker replaced, and Katie initially suggested an appointment a week away, but when I explained that we were without power, she immediately worked around their schedule to fit us in at 4pm.  However, rather than 4pm they actually arrived at 2pm and proceeded to evaluate out 60 year old panel, and concluded that it needed to be replaced.  Well, they diligently worked straight through till 8pm to restore power to our home.  It is really a pity that Christian's wiring is covered up by the panel cover, it was truly a work of art.  This morning, Christian dropped by because rain was in the forecast and he wanted to seal off the panel from the elements. They were at all times highly professional. Not only do I highly recommend them, but I expect that we'll be calling on them for future projects.

Excellent service, professional staff, and very responsive. Also had the best price of all the electricians I contacted.

I even had an unrelated electrical problem in my home over a weekend and Trout electric came out to fix it no problem.

Will definitely be using their services for our future electrical needs.

I had Garett and Dillan from Trout do an installation of a 240V socket for charging a Tesla in the garage. They did a great job and were very professional. They also took care of a problem with puck lights in the kitchen. Would recommend them to anyone looking for great electricians.

Matt is a true professional. He's done multiple jobs on my personal residence including a new panel upgrade and rewire. He's also worked on my rental properties and never with a problem. I've been using Matt for over 5  years and I am truly thankful that I found an honest electrician and prides himself on customer service. It's so hard to find reputable sub-contractors, but Matt is definitely in the top tier. I've recommended him to friends and family. Just recently, he installed a power wall station in my house for my Tesla. He showed up early and his guys were professional and very nice to my wife and family. Thanks Matt for all the years of great service. My family and I are truly appreciative.

Gil and Scott were very personable and knew what they were doing.  I had a power outage and some of my circuits did not come back on.  They fixed it in no time.  Then the smoke alarm was beeping and they took care of that as well.  I would highly recommend Trout Electric.

Trout Electric are true professionals. I called the owner and got a quote. The first electrician came and quoted higher, so we rejected the price. I called the owner and he sent out another electrician. He got it done quickly and professionally. I'm glad I got them out!

Trout Electric came highly recommended and may be good, but if you're looking to have a job done any time soon, move on to another company! I call and was told it would be a week and a half before they could even send someone out to give me an estimate! I guess they are too busy and don't need my job.

We needed 2 fans in our bedrooms.  These guys give great service!! Prices are fair, they are friendly, they answer questions, most importantly, do good work and they are HONEST!  Honesty, what a concept. All that I can say is they've done right by me.  Had them out twice for two separate electrical problems and will not hesitate to call them again if needed.

This is the second time Mark has been out to my home and each time he has always been very professional, friendly and informative.  His does excellent work and pays attention to the details. Today Mark and his coworker Colin put some finishing touches on some electrical work that needed to be completed. I am very happy with the service and look forward to working with both of them again. Trout Electric is the only company I will trust to do any electrical work for me. Money well spent.

These guys were recommended to me by the Tesla dealership to install the charger for my car.  From the get-go Scott and Kenny were great.  They were prompt, very hard working, knowledgeable and just nice down-to-earth guys.  They took care to install the wiring for my charger in the least intrusive way, as well as being conscientious of the structural integrity of my home (they had to go through attic, walls, etc.).  They explained everything out to me and was so patient answering my many questions.  They even looked at a couple other electrical issues I had, explaining to me what my options were.  When I'm ready to tackle those other electrical projects, I know who I'm hiring.  Thanks guys!

I rarely write yelp reviews, but for something really good, i dont mind spending time to write one. Earlier this evening, our fuse overloaded and we dreaded the possibility of not having power all night especially when we have an 11 month old baby. Spoke to Matt and he was able to send Gil to help us. Scheduled time was 10pm but Gil came around 9pm. He was very professional, courteous, knowledgeable, honest, and easy to talk to. I mean, i always had doubts about some companies trying to get more money out of their clients, but I could tell that these guys are not one of those. They're legit, the real deal and our life saver.  I highly recommend this company and their services.

After experimenting with local folks that called themselves Electricians and not feeling confident with the work, we decided to call Trout.  The initial scope was to do some outlet updates and to double check the work that was previously done by the wanna be.  Garrett showed up on the first visit and presented some options to us for completing the work with clear scope & pricing up front (no games).  We have used their services another 2 times this year and always exceptional results!  We will be using Trout for any/all electrician related needs going forward & HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for professional service, great results, competitive pricing and ZERO BS!  :-)

Today was the fourth job that I have had Trout Electric do for me in less than a year. Kenny worked all day creating an electrical plug for my new microwave . He had to run a line from the breaker box beside the garage all the way to the back of the house. As usual he and Scott reported ON TIME and did an excellent job. They left my house CLEANER than it was when they arrived! They were polite, efficient, and friendly. Every step was explained thoroughly BEFORE they commenced working.
While there was a need to make several holes in the drywall, the pieces were replaced neatly. I am not worried at all that the damage will be covered perfectly by the dry wall repairman, Zeke, since he was referred by Trout on the last two jobs. When he leaves, you cannot tell any repairs were done!
Do yourself a favor. If you need any electrical work done-- especially any really involved jobs-- skip all the estimates and call Matt right away. They are worth waiting for, and their prices are fair and competitive. You will not be sorry!

Scott and Kenny came on time. They even called a few minutes before to confirm that they are on the way. After they did the estimate, they immediately started on the install of a 240 outlet in our garage. They cleaned up after too. Very professional and their work passed the city inspection.

First time did a great job on Tesla charger (permits, 220V plug, electrical panel update, etc). They were so good, booked them again to replace the ballast in two bathrooms with lcd lights, trouble shoot electrical issues and fix a whole host of outlets. Again did an awesome job. Will definitely use again. These guys know their stuff and are excellent. Highly recommend!

Good service.  The guy who took my appointment was easy to Deal With and the service guy did a super efficient job.  I understand electric work is expensive but I am removing 1 star because of the systemic high and fluctuating pricing commonly seen in electric, plumbing etc.  As for this place. I say go for it I dunno. Who am I? I am a food critic afterall.

Amazing company to work with! I recently purchased a home and have been doing little projects here and there. For the bigger stuff I've been hiring contractors and yesterday I had a painting contractor out to paint 2 extra bedrooms upstairs. While resurfacing a wall in one room, they had plugged in an air compressor and blow dryer which blew something and the power to part of my house went out. We checked the breakers and GFI outlets but to no avail. I sent out a request on yelp for quotes this morning for someone to come out and assess the situation ASAP. Trout was the first to say they'd have someone out and a technician showed up at 4p. He checked the breakers and determined those were fine so we came inside and within a few minutes he figured out the problem and boom, problem solved! I can't tell you as a new homeowner how good it feels to get great service from true professionals and the relief knowing it wasn't something crazy that would cost me thousands to repair. If you're ever in need of great licensed electricians, make sure to give these guys and gals a call.

Garrett, Mark and Dillon did an outstanding job of installing all the electrical and supporting hardware for four fans in my upstairs bedroom and a pot rack in the kitchen.

These guys were punctual, friendly and did excellent work. They left my house just as clean as when they arrived.

They did some extra troubleshooting at no charge and provided me with some recommendations and additional quote for work.

I will definitely be calling these guys back to have the recommended work done and all my future electrical needs.

I highly recommend them for any electrical work.

Thanks guys for the great work. I'm very happy with service you provided.

I have an industrial scanner/copier in my home office that kept tripping the breaker. I called a few places on yelp and the majority of them couldn't come out and assess what I needed to alleviate this problem.

I called up Trout electric and they were able to assess the situation over the phone on how to resolve it with the least amount of damage possible. They ended up running a dedicated line through the attic above the garage and into the home office directly from the main panel. The new outlet handles the voltage needed for my machine with ease and all at an affordable price. I highly recommend Trout Electric and enjoyed their professionalism.

They came and gave me an estimate to install a charger for my Tesla model 3. Unfortunately they weren't able to install due to the apartment complex I live in's hardware. Garret, the supervising technician spent 30 minutes working with maintenance and calculating trying to figure out how to make it work for me without any luck. Garrett is extremely professional and will do whatever he can to help you. They even waived the fee for me. I highly recommend these professionals for any electrical needs and I hope I have a need for their services in the future.

Trout Electric came through.  I had just purchased a home that needed all new outlets and switches.  They came out to do an estimate and inspection, which found that we needed a new panel.  After talking with Matt about price, we came to a price that was within my budget.  Mark, Noah, and Matt came out and knocked the job out in a tight timeframe.  My family was able to move in a day ahead of schedule.  I recommend Trout Electric if you are looking for professional team to get the job done.  Thanks Guys!

No complaints, excellent service! I had called them to install a NEMA 14-50 plug in my garage. All I can say is that everything went very smoothly. Appointment was scheduled between 9-11AM on a Friday, and they showed up right at 9AM and got right to work and they were done a little past 11AM.

Not sure how much better you can get, thank you Trout Electric!

I had a few electrical outlets that were not working.  I had tried to flip the breaker back on a few times and the breaker wouldn't stick.

I looked on Yelp and YP to find good reviews on an electrician and found Trout Electric.  I gave them a call and they were at my front door in a couple of hours.  They explained to me their fee to look into the problem beyond just looking at it.

They found that my panel was burnt and that my panel was not UL listed due to age.  They explained to me the repairs needed to get me to code and gave me the cost.

They explained to me that the repair would be covered by my home owners insurance and assured me that they would help me submit the claim.

The work they performed was very good.  The box and the wiring look great.  They got my electrical up to code including all the proper grounding.

They referred me to a stucco guy who came buy and repaired the stucco the next day.  He did such a good job that you can't tell that there was any work done other than the new electrical box and mast.

The day after that the city came out and approved the work and signed the permit.  He made the comment that Trout did a good job and everything looked great.

As far as the Homeowner insurance goes, it has been a little like pulling teeth with the insurance company trying to get answers.  However, Matt Trout, the owner of Trout Electrical has been working hard calling my insurance company and explaining to them the extent of the repairs and the reason for the repairs.  He has called them as much as I have and has followed through with updates.  It's great to have a company who will stand by their work and their words and be such a strong advocate even after you have paid them.

With the great workmanship and outstanding customer service, I would strongly recommend Trout Electric to friends, family, and strangers.

Thank You Trout Electric

These guys are great!  I highly recommend this company to anyone who needs a great electrician. I had the new ring video door bell pro installed. But I needed a actual existing doorbell. They didn't B. S me. They were actually able to find the doorbell system in my walls and hooked it up perfect. A few weeks later I used them again to mount my 75' inch TV in my living room . Garrett was awesome when connecting up my system. These guys know what they are doing and are highly enthusiastic at their job.

We needed a plug installed in our garage for our model 3 Tesla that we just received after waiting 2 years on the waitlist. They sent 2 very professional, knowledgeable and friendly electricians over that not only answered all my questions, but they also did a seamless job in placing the outlet and leaving the work area spotless and clean. They were very thoughtful in even asking me to move out our other car from the garage so that they would not drop anything on it or scratch it by mistake while they were working.  They checked to make sure that our electrical unit capacity was safe for installing this extra appliance to our house.  Very thorough and great communication with how close they were to arriving at our home.  Couldn't have asked for better service! They were even friendly with our little one who was very curious as to what they were doing. Highly recommend!

Trout came to my rescue today. A couple of friendly gentlemen showed up at my doorstep at said time. Within a couple of hours I was up and running again. Its amazing how much excitement I have over just having lights on again. And its all from the help of these two over at Trout. Thank you Matt and Thank you Garrett. I highly recommend Trout to anyone for any of their electrical needs. They are prompt, courteous they also pride themselves in honesty, quality, and efficiency. Now that is the kind of company I would definitely do business with again. :-)

So glad to have found Trout Electric, they were listed on a ChargePoint website as a authorized installer.  After meeting Gil and getting our quote, we booked an appointment. We feel the price was reasonable and Gil was very knowledgeable and experienced with ChargePoint systems for electric vehicles.  Gil even assisted us with a small electrical repair in our bathroom the same day.  Thank you Gil and Trout Electric for excellent service.

Steve is a very professional, friendly and honest person. He did a great job went out of his way to do the least cuts into the dry wall. he gave us a referral to a drywall specialist  ,Trout is not the cheapest if you are looking for a cheap electrician. It is all about Quality and Safety. Steve installed the base and a box for our 103 LBS chandelier. he had his vacuum machine and cleaned  when he was done.
I will definitely hire them again and recommend them  Thank you Trout and Many Thanks to Steve
