Best Electricians in California

Getting a 200amp electrical panel installed can be a trying event in the best of times, but during a pandemic, it takes a experienced electrician who knows the process inside and out. Phillip, of Solomon Electrical Services, was one of the best decisions I could of made to get the job done. The numerous inspections for each step of the process took time, but I was very happy with the end result. Always professional, and very informative of the process, Phillip delivered a great product at a good price.

I would like to recommend Wheyland Electric.  Tim is the owner and he is very trustworthy and extremely fair in his pricing.  He wired our sound system for a home theater.  Now we have the wide TV, HD and a great sound.  He's done other small jobs and also does an excellent job.

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!

We had several things we needed done. Installing a Ring Doorbell, trouble shoot a light switch, and install a light/fan. I called Redhawk Electric and they gave me an appointment right away. They sent out Cheyney pronounced Chaney. He was very nice, professional and fast. Most of all he was very knowledgeable. The price was very fair. We will definitely use them in the future.

Not the nicest guy and everything with him is about money. At some point, this guy will charge money to even speak with you. There is no concept of customer service with this dude - he will do whatever you need as long as you agree to additional charges. Want an extra cable which will take him a few minutes more to create? Sure, that'll be an extra $20 (no please either). Want a high-level estimate of costs? Sure - but he'll charge you a fee that is even higher than his normal hourly rate. Not cool. Not recommended.

Best service ever! Oscar and Eddie showed up with in 2 hours of calling Oscar asking for an estimate. Had just had another service called My La Mirada Electrician Hero( When I called) LA Electrical Service/Express Electricial Plumbing heating and Air ( When they gave me the bill) out in the morning who charged me 50.00 service fee to tell me problem is not your electrical panel  and it will cost 1200.00 to replace all wiring and when I said how do you even know it needs to be replaced you haven't even found or looked for problem yet. He said ok well your 2nd option is 800.00 and I will find and fix problem. I paid the 50.00 service fee and sent him on his way in a panic now how to find someone I could trust. Thank God I found Oscar! Fixed the problem which was my GCI outlet in 10 mins and 100.00 which included the service call.  Will tell all my neighbors and friends about this great company and never use anyone else again!!!

Today marked the third time we have used Next Level and again they knocked it out the park! We need our recessed lights in our kitchen updated and Next Level handled the job to perfection. Again Hector and his crew arrived when expected and was very professional from set up to clean up. The lights look great! Very happy repeat customer!

experience from beginning to end! Got a quick quote from Nina over the phone. She was efficient and friendly. The quote was the best of 5 others that I called. Adam and his assistant came to my house 2 days later to install. Arrived on time and did a great job. I was so impressed with the quality of service and the value that I'll be having them back over to do some extra projects in the near future. Highly recommend!

Called Arms when we had some outlets stop working after a repipe. We had them wire switches to outlets as well. Instead of charging us for work that would take too long, they asked us to have us go through our plumber since it was his fault. We called them back up when our plumber said we could use them for the work and they actually fixed the problem quicker than we thought. Each worker was so kind and easy to work with. Thank you!

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.

My Main circuit breaker broke on a Sunday afternoon. My husband was at work and I couldn't believe that out of all of our friends none of them are electricians! I called around for about an hour trying to find somebody who wouldn't charge me an arm and a leg to replace the $20 part. My husband was at work and I knew my chances of getting ripped off were pretty high. My husband called me and told me he found a guy that wants me to call him because he could walk me through fixing it. I told my husband that I already knew how to flip a breaker switch. He said he already told that to the electrician and that he wanted me to call him anyway.
I reluctantly called the number my husband gave me and sure enough the gentleman on the other line walked me through fixing the problem myself at no charge! He knew my husband was not at home and could have easily made a quick $200! I am so grateful for this man's honesty and will definitely be calling Pacific Electric for all of my electrical needs!

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.

This was my first time using this service and i will definitely use him again. He replaced a cracked heating element on my outdoor electric heater. The price was fair and the work was very professional. I was so impressed i requested a few quotes for other services that i've been putting off for a long time, will definitely use them again!

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.

Electrical wiring in my 1955 home was incapable of supporting current needs. Only six circuit breakers for the entire home. Using the microwave and coffeepot would blow a breaker. None of my outlets had the ground wire. Not enough outlets for today's electronics.

In 2013, I had all my home's wiring replaced, new circuit breaker panel installed. My contractor, Scripps Ranch Restoration & Remodeling used Energy Electric to do the job. I had been working on a plan for what I wanted, showed it to the company's owner, Chris Wysoczanski. He reviewed it and based on his experience, made some excellent suggestions for areas I had not thought of.

As in, I have two back yard porch lights. Would I like both switches to turn them on and off? Oh, yes. Did I want the garage included? Yes but not right now. Ok, he would run the new circuit wires to the garage wall in the attic, wire the garage when ready. Power to my patio? Yes I did. Did I want the cable connection moved into a flush mount wall box? Oh, yes. Did I want any internet cables run to other parts of the house? Yes I did. Wall mount TVs? Yes. He ran all my supporting wiring inside the walls for a very clean look.

He and his team showed up early one morning and got right to work. Walls cut open, wires run, outlets replaced. My home's power lines were connected to the fascia, the old standard. Chris replaced this with a modern weather head, raising the wires higher off the ground for code compliance, better safety.

By the end of the first day, I had power in my house, final work to be done next one to two days. It was like a beehive with all his electrical techs working away. End of each day they cleaned up, all trash in the bin.

His senior electrician worked with me anytime there was a question or an issue installing power where I wanted it. Second day I asked if they could install wiring for an attic exhaust fan. Done. Everything was taken care of.

When he was almost done, we reviewed all areas worked to ensure everything worked. Did I have any questions? I asked him about installing a whole house surge protector I had just bought. No problem. He had one of the techs do the install.

Next year I had him come back to rewire my garage. Again all work was done quickly and efficiently. All the outlets I need for power tools, lighting and garage ceiling and attic exhaust fan.

Now I have all the power outlets I need where I want them. No more blown breakers due to overloading. New circuit breaker panel as grown to 19 breakers.

I have some other electrical upgrades in the works for coming years. Chris and his team will be doing the work. Very professional management, professional company.

Eric has done an excellent job of installing 5 ceiling lights at my home. Four of the lights that he replaced were old style recessed box lights of circa 1980, which required removal of boxes and repair of the ceiling dry wall before installation of new lights. One light was a new light. All done to my complete satisfaction. Thank you.

Nick was a pleasure to work with. He installed 3 ceiling lights and an electric panel. He can thoughtful and cleaned up after himself.

Nathan saved the the day when he came to my rescue after another electrician let me down.  He showed up on time ready to work even on a hot day having to work in my attic to install my new can lights.  He dealt with all the quirks from my aging Clairemont home with knowledge and expertise.  He has served our Country and now is working hard as an experienced licensed electrical contractor.  You get what you pay for, he is worth it.

I called Bill based on a referral I received from a co-worker.  I can't say enough positive things about him.  He called me back within 30 minutes after I left my message, met me on-time (an exact time, not a range), quickly identified and fixed my issue, and price was super-reasonable I felt.  I highly recommend him and will call him every time I have a need for an electrician in the future.  He also helped me out with some small other items regarding my fuse box itself that I didn't even ask him to do.  He is a nice, trustworthy guy.

We wish we would have fired Raceway (Eddie) when our project first got underway. We found Eddie confrontational and unprofessional every time he arrived on site. The way Raceway conducted themselves made it difficult for everyone working on our remodel. Remodels are stressful enough without having to deal with an electrician who wants to argue about his own missteps. With construction well underway, we were hesitant to make a switch in spite of several other contractor complaints. Our last straw was arriving on site only to find that our flooring contractor was repairing damage caused by Raceway. We hired another electrician to complete the job, and he ended up having to re-do much of what Raceway supposedly completed (and charged us for). We also found out how much Raceway had overcharged us for their lackluster work product (which echoes Jan's review below). Hopefully this post will help others from making the same mistake we did!
