Best Electricians in California

Val responded to my inquiry for an electrician through Yelp, and he showed up promptly on a Saturday morning to remove an old bathroom exhaust fan with heater and replace it with a new model. The work was professionally done, and his price for the work was very reasonable as well!

Rick is great! I found his company on the La Rocca Inspection website (under referrals).  We had just purchased a new home and the electrical needed updating. I had gotten a pretty high estimated from another vendor saying I needed to upgrade our entire electrical panel, etc etc.  When Rick came to do an inspection, he took the time to explain what we really needed and saying it wasn't necessary to upgrade our entire panel.  He was honest and educated us on our electrical system.  He emailed me my estimate a few hours later and even worked with our budget. Him and his crew were punctual, did the work and were in and out in a day, cleaned up after themselves and were really courteous.  I had just called Rick for a quick repair and as usual showed up minutes before he was expected and gave me a fair price.  He's very smart, you can tell he's been doing this for years & a funny guy - we will definitely be calling Rick again for all our future needs.  He also does outdoor lighting plans!

Good team work. I asked these guys to help me with a number of electric jobs.
They hanged a new ceiling light, removed an old motion sensor, installed a new flood ring camera, replaced a Ballast on a ceiling light fixture and a timer switch.
Very impressive easy going team. Thank you.

Don't be fooled by this guy's 5-star reviews. I'm surprised he even has anything above 1 star, especially after considering my encounters with him.

I originally came across this company through Home Depot's Pro referral site. Out of the 3 referrals I got on there, this guy was the worst one.

Let me explain: not only was his quote substantially higher than the other pros that had given me an estimate, but he tried to justify it by saying that he was licensed and that he had good reviews on yelp.

However, considering that I got his information from Home Depot's Pro Referral service, they only refer licensed electricians with good reviews anyways.

But that wasn't issue, I don't mind if someone's price is higher than the next guys. It was his attitude and lack of consideration for customers that really did it for me and made me want to take the time to write a review so other people like myself who were initially impressed by his 5-star reviews on yelp, would notate how he really is with customers.

I sent him several messages when trying to request a quote and finally got a date and time for him to come out and give me an estimate. He said he would come either Thursday or Friday, which is not very professional considering he was occupying 2 of my days at his convenience to see when he could come.

Of course Thursday rolled around and no word or show from him. So I figured he was going to come on Friday, instead. On Friday I texted him and asked him if he was coming and he said yes, he would be coming later in the day.

After waiting the majority of the day for him to arrive, he texted me very late in the afternoon saying that there was a lot of traffic and that he was on the way, but he was 45 minutes away. I said OK go ahead and come I'm still waiting for you.

Finally another hour later, he said the traffic was too high so he can't make it. I said excuse me? I've been waiting all day for you! But he didn't care about my time. It was more convenient for him not to come.

I told him I was so disappointed that I would leave my experience with him on a review here on yelp. He had the audacity to tell me don't bash a small business. I don't give a damn if your business is small or not. That doesn't give you a pass to disregard your customer's time like that. In lieu of leaving a bad review, he offered me a 4% discount. Haha. As you can see I'm here leaving this review.

I even called him twice after that experience to follow up with him about coming for that estimate finally, and he acted like he couldn't hear me and hung up on me! I called twice again and he didn't answer again!

This guy is a jerk. And he thinks his time is more valuable than yours! Stay away from arrogant people like this! Thanks primo!

William fixed the lights in our bathrooms. We can see now, it's amazing! He is professional, fast, pleasant and true to his estimates.  We can't say enough good things about our experience with William. He is the BEST!

I never really post up reviews. But when a job is done perfect, at the right price and the company goes above and beyond then i have to. i Had my electrical panel Upgraded and 2 separate dedicated line installed to the back yard. Isaac walked me through the project and even offered a solution to save me some $. Once we finalized the design it was a simple email and approval and schedule. Maynor and Jesus did the install. guys are very professional, fast and extremely helpful answering all my dumb questions. even helped me with some other electrical issue i had in the house. Once done. Adrian did the stucco. and it came out perfect ( pic attached). Just cant say enough how pleased we are with Electric Brothers.  thanks isaac  team!

Do not hesitate to hire Curt. He is warm, professional, knowledgable, reliable, and does really great work. This week and over several years (decades now), he's installed light fixtures, outlets, etc. inside and outside of our home - identifying and creatively solving idiosyncrasies with our older house to get the job done. He is very conscientious with protecting floors, etc while he works, and always cleans up after the job. Communication with Curt is very clear, and he is happy to discuss and answer any questions we have. We feel so fortunate to have someone we can depend on for assistance with all things electrical.

Within 24 hours of messaging Manuel on Yelp, I had my new fan installed in my condo, which is an AMAZING turn around time.

Manuel was pretty much exactly on time, diagnosed what would need to be done for the fan installation, installed the bugger and gave me some advice for other modifications I should make in the condo.

Incredibly nice guy, to boot.

So, if you're burning up in this intense heat right now and need some relief, run down to home depot, buy a ceiling fan, call A First Electric and have them install it on the quick.

We needed an electrician to fix a couple of issues and decided to call Jeff Moore based on the Yelp Reviews. So glad, we did, aside from being thorough, him and his team, Carlos and Angel, showed  me the actual problem and how they're going to fix it. We're also planning on replacing our recess lighting and instead of just giving me his price for the job, he recommended where to get the parts cheaper. They are honest and true professionals. I highly recommend Jeff Moore for any electrical issues.

I came across Eric's work on IG ('65handyman'). It's hard to find the words to describe his talents and craftsmanship. But when he told me he went to a college in Europe for 3 years to get a degree in 'construction and everything handyman' it made sense. He has done EVERYTHING for us. Installed a toilet and a sink. Installed lights in walls where there were no lights before. Built a gate. And a fence. Installed skylights. Painted ceilings. Put up new walls. Put up wallpaper. Put down floorboards. Built an entire laundry outside. Transformed entire rooms. Whatever we have needed. He can do everything. But more than that, he is an artist. Everything he does is freaking unbelievably beautiful. And he isn't super expensive. There are handymen on Yelp who charge so much more and honestly have no idea what they're doing, it's like they just thought they could make money pretending to be handymen on Yelp. They could do with a three year degree in Europe.

My husband and I hired Mark of Independent Electric to hang a ceiling fan and ceiling fixture as well as rehang an existing ceiling fan that had been improperly installed by our home's previous owner as well as a few other tasks. He showed up exactly on time and was very easy to work with and explained everything he was doing including how much time it would take.  He quickly gained our confidence and we really appreciate the top-notch work he did, which was also quite affordable.  We will definitely work with him on all our electrical needs!

They came through and realized it was a simple fix and didn't even charge me. This company is awesome and I definitely would recommend!

Read about their work and good ratings but no reply when i call and leave a message.  Also important to have a secretary to answer calls.

This is my second review for Gil and Amor Electric, and I will continue to call Gil for all future electrical issues.  

I needed an electrician to assist the installation of new motors by the Shade Store.  Unfortunately, the electrician would need to wait while the installers mounted the new unit after the electrician powered down the old one.  

From the moment I called Gil, he was professional and went out of his way to assist with my one-off request.  When the work was completed, I was charged $50 less than what I was quoted.  This is a no-brainer!  Call Amor Electric -- promise you will be so happy with the outcome!!

Wayne was great.  I had him install 3 WeMo WiFi Light Switches, and they work wonderfully.  

The whole process was really easy.  I requested a quote on yelp and he got back to me quickly.  We set up the appointment, he showed up on time, and finished the work just under the time he quoted me.  Everything was very professional, and I will definitely be calling Wayne again for any other electrical needs.

He did mounting 65-inch TV on brick wall. Very fast, responsive, flexible, and reliable work. He knows what to do. Highly recommended and will hire him again for sure!

I had a hard time deciding between 2-stars and 3-stars.  There are some good things about this company, but in the end I can't give a good score because two very expensive service calls later, my problem still exists despite throwing over $2000 at it.

About three years ago, a sep-pump for the add-on of our house died.  We called both a plumber and Intelectric.  The plumber came out and installed a brand new sep pump.  They highly suggested that we have the electrician install a direct power supply line with a dedicated switch.  When the Intelectric electrician arrived, his suggestion was to add another circuit to that part of the house so the outlet could be dedicated to the sep pump.  I agreed to his suggestion, and It worked for about a day and a half before it blew the circuit.  Then we got a rush of sewage all over the floor AGAIN and couldn't use that room AGAIN.  I had the plumbers come back out and they dug the pump up and said that it tested out fine, meaning that the issue was with the circuit.  So I once again called Intelectric for service and after they finished it worked again... this time for just a half a day.

No matter what outlet I plug into, the trips it instantly.  It's utterly frustrating, because we have been unable to use this space as we had envisioned.  Perhaps there is a voltage cap or current issue here, but I would hope that the electricians would recognize that problem.  Perhaps there is some other issue, but I would hope that between two electrician visits and two plumber visits that it would be resolved.  Plenty of people in this area have the same system and it doesn't trip every time.  Ours didn't trip for over a year, but has been trouble since.

On the positive side, the two electricians were very nice and seemed skilled at the hands-on aspects of their craft.  On the negative side, I'm very disappointed that the problem has not been fixed despite the number of visits.  I'm generally a pretty easy going guy about things and give a lot of leeway.  But after a second unsuccessful and expensive house call, my patience is exhausted.  I'm done with Intelectric and am a little hesitant to trust Angie's list for the next company we choose.
