Best Electricians in California

Great service as always!  Both son and father called me back within the hour.  His son was closer from my house and was able to stop by right away to inspect a broken light switch which was sparking and smoking. Replaced faulty switch in no time. High quality service for very competitive price - very fast and professional service.  I will definitely call Solomon Electrical Services for future needs and will recommend their services to all my friends and colleagues.

Thank you so much for your outstanding service and Happy New Year!

Tim rocks! We recently purchased a home in Carlsbad that needed some serious electrical work. Tim had to reroute several light switches to allow for the operation of ceiling fans that he installed in our bedrooms and the family room. He figured out the wiring schematic and created new switches in existing boxes. Tim also rerouted and/or and ran power to our spa; security cameras, and hardscape lighting.  This is the second project that we have worked with Tim on. He can be trusted to get the job done with no shortcuts. We truly appreciate the work he did on our home and will call him for all future projects.

Mike and Vince were a pleasure to work with. Professional, talented and friendly. I will use their services again.

The work was good and they have competitive pricing. They can be hard to reach sometimes, so I've only been table to use them once out of the three times I tried to hire them. I couldn't reach them the other two times. I suspect they get busy because they do seem to have integrity and want to do a good job for you.

We have a home with a little over twenty phones between three buildings and our internal phone system went down (If I understand correctly, the PBX died). Shaun came by on time and understood exactly what we needed fixed. He ordered a replacement system that was newer (our old system was 20+ years old) but completely compatible and at an equivalent price. The install went smoothly and even when we did have a small problem with some wiring, Shaun troubleshot it with ease.

I will be recommending him to others in the future.

Carlos was extremely nice and knowledgeable.  Called in the morning and he was there within a few hours.  Fixed the problem quickly.  High recommend and would use again in a heart beat.

Had an excellent experience with Next Level Lighting & Electric.  They installed 23 recessed lights, ran speaker and HDMI wires for a home theater, and installed 4 fan switches.  Their install team (Oswaldo, Victor, Jose, Arturo, and Gabriel) were very COVID-19 aware and respectful.  They wore mask and shoe covers.  Their craftsmanship and professionalism was excellent.  I'm very happy with their work on this project and highly recommend this company.

SoCal Home Theater has several projects at our home, and each time we've been thrilled with the results. From basic wiring for mounted flat screens, to multi-room home theater and speaker setups, they're great at what they do! Their recommendations for high end, easy to use components have been awesome, and their quotes are always reasonable, and you can trust their technicians in your home. We look forward to using them for future projects as well.

I bought 2 ceiling fans from the trading post and armes electric was recommended as an installer. They installed both fans and balanced them perfectly, installed canned lights in our dining room ,kitchen & hallway. just recently they installed low voltage lighting in our backyard and installed an outdoor ceiling fan. Pete even went with us to home depot to shop for needed supplies to save us about $100, great guy and staff. always respectful of your property and they clean up after themselves, you don't even know they were there. They even fixed a problem a  prier electrician botched. Highly recommend them and we will always use them for any electrical needs we have.

I have used this great company for many years. They are smart, reliable, helpful and HONEST. It's hard to find people who put your best interests first but Robert does. He is always my go to electrician whenever I have an issue and I trust them with everything they do. They are seasoned electricians who do the job right the first time!

Awesome guys, great service and on time , a lot cheaper then big electric company's , they don't charge to come look at the problem, they stay till the job gets done.

I was referred to Arendt Electric by my general contractor to find the source of a circuit fault. It was evident Chad has significant experience diagnosing improperly wired circuits. He handled the problem promptly. As a result of his talent, I have hired him to help me make my new house the way I want it. Fan install, ceiling speakers for Atmos theatre sound, and outdoor wiring.

I've never experienced any unprofessionalism and lack of integrity like this. This company sent over a guy who is unbelievably slow, doesn't complete work, and still wanna charge a lot. I can't imagine it takes two days for someone to install 5 pairs of dampers to cabinets, 2 shower curtain rods, and change two AC filters. For this little amount of work, he has charged me $450 labor only and took 7-8 hours in 2 days. He doesn't charge by hour and only charge by project. He couldn't finish the full list of work planned and doesn't patch up walls when he messed the paints when installing the curtain rods at a wrong position. What's even worse, he mixed the purchase of materials with someone else's and wanna charge me for the full amount. It made me feel he did so intentionally with no integrity at all as he bought 6 pairs of dampers and never gave me the one extra pair he didn't use. It could just be this one guy whose name is Farhad that is this bad. The company should reconsider if he is qualified and stop letting him ruin the reputation of the Company.

Farhad's response below is beyond the point. It's not about charging work by hour or by project. The point is that the three tasks mentioned above only takes 1 hour or 1.5 hour maximum. The hourly rate for a handyman in Oceanside is $30-$45 per hour. At least this is the quote I've received from two other handyman. In other words, the work Farhad did should have cost less than $100 if it is done by someone who's more skillful and even given a $60 hourly rate. Another handyman has changed the hinges for all 15+ cabinets in my house for just a bit over an hour.

I'm usually ok with paying people more with tips if he shows he has tried hard and worked hard. No, Farhad, I don't need you to finish work anymore. I need you to refund me the extra damper I bought and you didn't return to me or use on the job.

You need to position yourself better in this market. The service provided and the rate you've charge won't be sustainable for the business.

I cannot say enough good things about SMS electric.  We recently purchased a house in IB, the home inspector said that the wiring in the house needed some work.  We wanted to get a professional electrician to take a look and called Scott at SMS electric.  Scott not only saved us money by confirming we did not need work on the house that was recommended, but he also did not charge us for the inspection.  We have also used Scott to do several upgrades to our house as he has earned our complete trust.  I highly recommend SMS electric to anyone who needs superior electrical service.

I have known Chris since 2004 and use his services exclusively for all of my electrical needs. I am a general contractor in Scripps Ranch and with each of my projects I know Chris will get the job done right. He is knowledgeable, dependable, and his work is excellent. All of his guys are meticulous, neat and efficient. My homeowners appreciate how they always go the extra mile to insure their property is protected while they do their work. Chris is a honorable professional but he seems more like family to me, than an electrical contractor. If someone is considering hiring him I would 100% recommend Chris and his crew.

We hired this company for several small repairs and they were wonderful! Flexible with us as well as on time. We will continue to use them if any electrical needs are needed !

Great Electrician.  Helped with an electrical and a lighting issue. Will definitely use again .

I've been working with several electricians lately because we've been having lots of work done for our home and Nathan Albers is by far the best electrician we've used. I highly recommend him. He and his partner are very professional and did a great job.

Professional, honest, courteous and fast CA Licensed Electrician! Bill was easy to get a hold of by telephone and quick to respond and schedule. Rate quoted over the phone was the same at the end of the job and even did a quick project request on the side for no extra charge! Nicely covered up our dining area to protect our furnishings which is where he installed our dining room pendant light with dimmer. Excellent patch up job as well. Thank you for illuminating our home in Carmel Valley!

After our usual electrician retired, we had to branch out and find someone new. Raceway will definitely be our first call from now on!

Raceway replaced our pendant light in our breakfast nook a few weeks ago. Start to finish, they were great. Easy to book. Showed up on time. Their electrician was very nice and efficient. We will definitely be using them for future projects. Highly recommend!
