Best Electricians in California

I'm a licensed Architect and General Contractor and our team hired Philip to do both the rough and finish electrical for a modern 1,100sf companion unit in Hillcrest.  

Philip and the rest of his close team (his son and his nephew) delivered high quality craftsmanship within a challenging shell (concrete block, cast-in-place concrete walls, minimalist aesthetic), provided thorough explanations of his recommendations to exceed trade standards, was promptly responsive in his communications, and was just an overall nice guy to work with.    

I plan on hiring his company for my own house, which I hope to break ground in February, and will continue to recommend him highly to the people I care about and to Contractor colleagues looking for reliable, trustworthy, fair, and accountable subcontractors.  

The picture I'm attaching shows a good sampling of the finished product.  As with any final building product, a bunch of work goes into planning and the concealed components that make a certain result come out looking clean and effortless.  I credit the end product to the great collaborative effort with Philip and his family.

Wheyland Electric did a great job installing a chandelier light on a 18ft ceiling. Tim was professional and courteous and offered a solution about wiring and a new wall switch that didn't require any drywall cutting. I was relieved to hear that. I will be using Wheyland Electric in the future for projects and repairs.

We hired Mikes Electric to install a new GFCI outlet in our bathroom and we were not disappointed. One of his electricians (John) was right on time and did a great job listening and explaining options for optimum outlet placement. The best part was when he insisted on tidying up his work area and vacuumed the floor around the outlet when he was finished. John was courteous, professional, and clearly takes pride in his work. Well done!

Great people to work with. Electrician arrive couple of hours late, however, he was in constant communication and given me updates of his ETA. Will certainly be contacting them if am in need of electrical services. Rates are not the lowest, but you get what you pay for...excellent results and service. Thanks

I had a great experience working with Shaun to run some ethernet cable throughout my house.

My first good impression was when he told me that my thought of using Cat6a instead of Cat6 was probably overkill. I went with his suggestion and saved a few hundred dollars right there.

He came out for the free estimate and we walked around the house as he took notes & mapped out the proposed network drops. He provided a financial breakdown of the bid later that same night.

Over the next few days, Shaun was patient and very responsive while we sent emails back and forth trying to finalize all the details of the bid.

The actual work took about 8 hours over two days. Shaun and his associate were quick and kept everything very tidy, cleaning up as they went. During the first day we realized that the relocation of my coax cable that we had discussed during the initial walkthrough was accidentally left off the bid. Shaun didn't sweat it and did it anyway. He even replaced my old coax splitter with a new one.

At the end of the second day, everything was hooked up very cleanly & labeled. Shaun tested the network and fixed a bad drop that was malfunctioning. I verified my new gigabit speeds using NetCPS and LAN Speed Test.

I was very pleased with the whole thing and would definitely recommend Shaun to anyone who has telecom or network needs.

Omega Electric Services led by Oscar Flores provides the expertise to quickly diagnose electrical problems, provide options for correcting the problem and a fair market price.  This electrician is now on my speed dial in the event that I need electrical services in the future.  Kudos to Omega Electric!  

Satisfied client from La Mirada

I've used Next Level three times now to install lighting, a ceiling fan, and recessed plugs for tv's on walls. Each time a different crew completed the work for me and they've all been outstanding. They carefully cover up the work area and pay close attention to details. I was listening to their math calcifications while they installed 5 lights in my living room and was super impressed. Highly recommend.

Adam was very professional and accommodating. Did an amazing job and would highly recommend him.

Pete was awesome. He helped walk me through an electrical repair over the phone and didn't charge me for anything. Just wanted to help me out the best way possible. Most contractors would want to come out and charge you for the repair, but he was willing to give up his own time to see if I could do it myself. What a nice guy and will definitely look to use him again for any electrical repairs in the future!

If you have read my more technical reviews you will see that I'm a serious Yelper & DIY'er (Do It Yourself).

Last year I installed over 2000' of electrical in my house - it was an old fix-er-up-er (aka dump).  In the process I have developed advanced electrical knowledge.  This year I got into bending EMT conduit and setup two sub-panels and an underground feed.

This is where Roberts comes in.  While in the electrical isle at home depot I met Robert Donovan.  I received some expert guidance about the various methods of joining two metal junctions boxes back back but separated by a wall.  I also discussed some other aspects of my latest project - running a 40A feed to a 220v Level 2 charger for an electric car.  The rapid charger cost $800 so I didn't want to take any chances.  This guy is much nicer and things out of the box compared to other pro's that I have hired to review my projects.

What noticed and like about this guy is you keep throwing problems at him he gives you multiple solutions and doesn't say things like well, why would you want to do that?.  Finally, I pulled out $10 or $20 cash and he didn't want to accept it.  I insisted because I said I would never expect serious professional advice for free and I run a small  computer repair business my self and hate being hit up for free advice.

A note to my fellow yelpers: Electrical work take lots and lots and lots of time.  I did a complete rewire in my shed and the connection to the house including drilling etc.  I spent many full 8 hour days doing it.  I have all professional tools by Ideal & Klein, a right angle drill, Irwin bits and extensions etc. I'm a perfectionist too but I would never want to do this work for a living because it is so easy when working with old buildings to underestimate the time to do the work.  So much older wiring is crap and has bad grounds.  There is a huge difference in slapping a wire in and doing it to code.

So if you are a diy'er / apartment owner etc and you plan to do the work yourself you can hire this guy to go over your project and make sure it is up to code.  You can save money by doing drilling, opening walls, stucco, etc and have him do the work that needs an expert.  Some day I'll have the money to say - you do it all well I go sailing.

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.

Great service! They replace my kitchen faucet and bathroom toilet in a timely manner! We will def hire again for any future project!

tried to install a ceiling fan...sparks flew everywhere. called Scott and he came out fifteen minutes later and now we have a working fan :D he also made suggestions to make our house safer since the previous homeowner did all the electrical themselves and it's not the safest way. will be using again to come get it all checked out! super awesome service.

A friend of mine gave me Energy Electric San Diego telephone number because I was having some electrical issues and did not know who to call.

When I called the company, I spoke to Chris (the owner) and explained to him my problem. I made an appointment to have him come out and take a look at what was concerning me.

The problem was taken care of quickly and efficiently.

I found Chris to be honest, reliable and very knowledgeable.  He is enthusiastic about his work and explains the problem in simple terms.

I am so happy I contacted Energy Electric San Diego. If you are picky like I am and need a company that is professional, dependable and gets the job done right, then you should definitely give them a call.

Found Eric on Yelp and I'm so glad I did! Fixed everything quickly and I was surprised at how inexpensive it was. Definitely keeping his number on hand

I own a small business and was referred to Volt by a friend after receiving several outrageous price quotes for installing two electrical components to hang pendant light fixtures. I was quoted a very reasonable price and was super impressed with the level of customer service from beginning to end!  They did a wonderful job and will definitely work with them in the near future!  Thank you Volt!!

Nathan came out and installed an outlet for a car charger. He was on time, did a walk around my property before deciding what materials to use, and made sure he had all the information from me before absolutely crushing the work.

Nathan was extremely helpful and informative before he showed up on site for install, setting my expectations, and answering all my questions.

Can't recommend Albers enough.

Bill is a close-by neighborhood treasure. He has been helping us for years with electrical projects inside and outdoors. Today he installed a new chandelier, for which he also had to rewire the ceiling. Bill is honest and punctual, and tends to stop by quickly to provide you with a fair quote. Whilst working in your home he is courteous and tidy, and he takes great care to protect the area he is working in. I highly recommend him to anyone, and I would trust him with my keys.

Just had Solar installed. Everything went so smooth. Mike one of the owners actually did the install.
We also had our  him install 3 lights in our garage and put two new electrical outlets in my kitchen for my confection oven.
And we also had them upgrade our electrical panel.
I got 5 quotes before I decided to use Raceway. So glad we did. They are a wonderful company to  work with and do exactly what they promise.
Give them a try. I am fussy and was so happy with them so I am sure they can please anyone.
