Best Businesses in Los Angeles, CA

Called Chris around 11am with the notion that I might need an Electrician after seeing sparks fly out of my wall. He surmised it was a dying outlet.

Chris arrived at 4pm & less than 20-min later my outlet was replaced and functional; $75 for peace of mind. I recommend...

This of course is for anybody who wishes to hear my opinion...

This company responded promptly and replaced a bad breaker in an old panel. It was not cheap, but they got it done same-day and I was grateful. $1,000 plus credit card fee poorer, but still grateful. Meanwhile, I asked for a quote to replace four existing panels. The price over the phone was exorbitant, the first quote that came on paper was a few thousand cheaper, and when I explained I still couldn't see how the cost was justified based on what I know of materials and labor costs, the quote came down again. They were very responsive. However, there was a lot schmoozy bullshitting and negotiating, which I really don't like. I got several additional quotes that were significantly cheaper than their quote. Yarin was friendly, but I feel like we both knew he was taking me for a ride. It was embarrassing. I prefer honest, straight-shooting, reasonable contractors who give a fair bid and stick to it. I am not trying to squeeze every last penny out of anyone. I want everyone to make a decent living. I also do not have the extra cashflow to be taken advantage of or interest in haggling.

Miguel is the best electrician ever. He does good work, and is so professional.

Our house has very ancient wiring and we've experienced problems with particular outlets being out on a regular basis. We've had sceral electricans come to fix it, but today Patrick came to fix it and he patiently described the problem to us in a waythat we could finally grasp. We valued his knowledge, ideas and recommendations for the future and we just had a nicest time with him.
Many thanks!

Used John twice and perfect.  

He did something for me that two other electricians wanted 3x the price for and wanted to make it complicated.  John goes for simple, but safe.  He's a clean worker too.

Craig responded quickly and was able to fit us in his schedule the next day. He was very helpful with fixing our outlets and sharing information.

I had electricity go out in our bathroom and contacted USA Repairs. First, the good news: They are very courteous and prompt (tech showed up 10 minutes early) and, surprisingly, they don't charge for coming to your home and quoting a price.
The bad news: the tech, Steve, checked out the electric panel and the switches and determined A) the the dual 20 amp breaker had burned out. B) that the wiring was old within the house and would probably need to be replaced. C) There was a burned circuit smell in the electric panel and possibly more of the breakers would have to be replaced as a cautionary measure. D) Steve said there was heat coming from the bad breaker indicating there was power coming to the breaker but that the circuit was broken.
Nothing could have been further from the truth. Steve opened his work book and leafed to a printed page that delineated all the services that would be performed to correct the problem: trouble shoot, materials, replace wiring and breakers (eight breakers) as needed. The cost: $1,200.00. I indicated that wasn't going to happen.
Steve then said he'd take another look at the situation and see if he could shave some cost from the repairs. He came back, opened his work book and leafed to another package deal: I can do this job by offering you trouble shooting, four breakers replaced and correct whatever wiring is required for $900.00. I indicated that wasn't going to happen either.
Steve then said he wanted to take one more look at the breaker panel and see what else he could come up with. He returned, grabbed his work book and leafed to still another package deal: OK, I can just replace the two breakers associated with the broken circuit, trouble shoot and replace any defective wiring. The cost: $500.00. I indicated that wasn't going to happen either and that I'd contact the electrician who installed the sub-panel next to the main panel to see what he has to say.
Steve was very gracious, gave me his business card and said he was available if I needed any of the work done. I thanked him and sent him on his way. I then called my contractor/electrician who asked me to take a picture of the breakers in question and text it to him. He showed up a few hours later with replacement breakers in hand (I hate bothering him for such little problems), checked out the panel and the switches and determined there was nothing wrong with the breakers. He identified the problem initially as a short caused by a couple wires behind one of the switches coming loose due to a bad wire connector. He fixed the problem and it appeared to be solved...but not yet. The light started to flicker and went off again. On the other side of the wall there were two more switches as a mirror image of those in the bathroom. It turned out the wires had come loose (due to too small of a wire connector being used) and he quickly resolved the problem. Voila! Problem solved. Cost? $50.00. But that's a friends price and we insisted on giving him $100.00.
Moral of the story: NEVER use a repair company (plumbing, electrical or otherwise) that quotes a package or job price. You are always better off paying at a time and materials rate. If it smells like a rip-off then go with your instincts and get a second opinion.

Chris was Great! Spoke to him over the phone he was on time and took care of putting a fan in the bathroom.  Helped me out greatly.  Would recommend for all projects.  Did a great job and charged 100% fair price.  I will be calling him back for any future work.

I'm so happy to have found M&I Electric. I needed an electrician immediately but didn't think it was an emergency. I left a voicemail with Chris and he got back to me within minutes. He was friendly on the phone and honest with pricing which turned out to be reasonable in comparison to other electricians I'd called.
He came over within 2 hours and found the problem which was the outlet to the water heater was connected to another light switch. The whole thing was done improperly by another electrical (I won't mention who)
Chris is super friendly and even my dogs liked him. I would definitely recommend him.

These guys were AWESOME from reception to repair. Fast. Efficient. Fair price for the work. This is definitely my 'Connect' for any electrical work moving forward.

They repaired an outdoor sconce that was on a security timer and seemed to have a gremlin in it. I thought we'd have to replace the whole thing. Not so! Turns out there was just a faulty part inside that these guys fixed in about 20 mins. Thanks for not taking me for a ride fellas!

If you are looking for a knowledgeable, competent and friendly electrician, look no further than Ron. He is fantastic!  Our problem was in our kitchen; the stove and microwave would shut off for no apparent reason. I feared the worst; Ron came in and made the problem go away with seeming ease.  He explained the problem clearly and answered all of my questions. I cannot recommend him enough!  Thanks Ron!

Excellent workmanship. He went the extra mile to discover the issues. Prompt, good communication, polite knowledgeable and very, reasonably priced for the difficult work we had done. Highly recommend!

Where do I start? I pride myself on my research skills and I was lucky enough to find myself reaching out to Victor from EnerBg! He was able to give me a quote and schedule me in right away! He was prompt, efficient, and explained everything. He was able to answer all of my questions and gave advice on other electrical needs that I had. If you want someone reliable, trustworthy, and responsible then you have to call Victor right away. EnerBg is now my go to electrician for me and my friends/family.

I had been putting off an outdoor lighting project for almost 8 months.  I was overwhelmed with all the lighting choices and unsure of all the parts I needed to order.  I called Brian Cohen at Bryden Electrical and met with him in his office.  He cut through all the internet choices and made a few calls.  Within 30 minutes, the lights, the wiring, the electrical boxes were all ordered and the date to install was set.  It has been a week since the installation and the lights are perfect.  While they had to dig up part of the lawn, everything looks perfect.  They left the yard clean and the way it was before the installation.  

I'll definitely call again.  Great job!

Tomas fixed the bar in my closet and now it holds all my clothing. He did a great job. He was nice, worked neatly and his pricing was very reasonable. I highly recommend him and will use him again.

I've had Bill do several projects, some times after a handie man messed it up. Incredibly knowledgeable, quality work at a reasonable price. I trust him to do quality work and do what is right.

Called Orlando on Monday (on a non emergency basis) and he came out to the house the following day.  Orlando showed up promptly and took the extra time to diagnose the problem and remedy the situation.  I found him to be very meticulous and, he even took the time to explain what he was doing at each turn.  If you need an honest and highly skilled electrician, give Orlando and this wonderful family business a call.  I will definitely be using them for future electrical upgrades.

Wil with Modern Electric came highly recommended to me over 15 years ago by my best friend, who is the fussiest, hardest-to-please person I know. Wil has done an amazing job for me every single time. He has a key to my house and I have given him a blank check - he is that trustworthy.

I couldn't recommend anyone more highly.

I have used Romano Electric twice now, and had them out for three estimates (1 time I just decided to postpone the job.) I have had both Jason and Devin do the work and they are both meticulous and knowledgeable. These guys do not shy away from non-electrical work to get the job done. They've cut through concrete and tile for us. (I have had other contractors tell me that I'd need to hire someone else to do part of the job.) They are very professional and friendly. I personally like to understand the work that people do to my house, and they are happy to explain what they are doing. Particularly during an estimate, I like to go over the planned work. Some contractors will just give you a price with little detail, while Romano Electric will explain the work and possible options. They have also been honest about what I might want to do to save money, rather than trying to up-sell the job.

As previously mentioned, both Devin and Jason are meticulous.
I had them put a receptacle behind my stove where no one will ever see it, and they still took the time to cut a very clean hole and level the plug. They also label the wires that they install, as well as existing wires that are in the same boxes. This is an excellent practice and one that can save trouble down the line. They also always put the screws on the face plates such that the slots are plumb. Its these little things that show me that these guys really care about their work.

As you might expect, these guys get busy so its best to plan ahead for scheduling. I don't fault them for not being able to do the job the next day, but its one thing to be aware of. They seem to get estimates done quite quickly even if you have to wait a week or two to get the job done.

I've had other bids, but Romano is the only electrician I've hired. I have great experiences, and have no desire to try anyone else. I haven't checked on the best competing prices, but the bids from Romano have been reasonable. I feel that doing the job right the first time is more important that doing it cheaply and not liking the outcome.

Great experience today.  They found out I had a very simple problem and they solved it, simply.  Will absolutely use them again.
