Best Businesses in California

This company was the choice of our landlord when we were electrically shocked by our pool and our shower.  Igal fixed the pool issue, only after his crew repeatedly ridiculed us about how oversensitive we were being...that crew member ended up testing the pool with his bare hands, sending a shock through his chest...thank God he survived, and went on to fix it.  Afterwards, joking we should jump in if we don't believe him.  Igals refused to give us his license number at this point...

During the shower incident, Igal repeatedly refused to check if any exposed wires were touching the pipes, until we kicked and screemed enough to get him to do it.  That ended up being only part of the problem.  We sought a second opinion from a family electrician, and were told we most likely had an issue with our house's neutral connection.  Igal wouldn't even check it...so we had to get LADWP involved ourselves, and sure enough, turned out to be the issue.  We could have avoided multiple painful electric shocks if Igal was not involved in our houses electric work.

I needed a carbon monoxide detector installed and was getting quoted crazy prices from other companies.  I called this company and spoke with Steve who asked me to send him photos of my hallway where the smoke detector was located.  After he saw what he was working with he quoted me a reasonable price (very smart).  Steve arrived first thing in the morning to accommodate my work schedule.  He was polite and had it installed within15 minutes.

Excellent work, professional and very courteous.  Respectful and patient with all questions and requests!!!

Shok Electric is awesome. They did a great job installing a new outdoor outlet for our water heater and replacing the old rusty light on our porch. They went above and beyond and showed us a fire hazard that had previously been done and fixed that, too. I won't call anyone but Shok whenever we have electricity needs!

Around 8:30 pm, the electricity in my kitchen suddenly went out while cooking dinner.  I quickly went on Yelp and found Fast Electric.  Even though it was 1/2 hour to closing time, Nick made it out to my house around 20 minutes and fixed the problem in less time than that.  He is extremely knowledgable and honest.  I highly recommend Fast Electric and added the number to my speed dial.  Thanks, Nick!

Omer went over and above installing a vintage chandelier light fixture that needed custom installation. He was extremely patient and we really appreciated his problem solving during the process.

They came over and diagnosed a few of my breakers that had gone bad. The service was quick and the price was very reasonable. Recommend!

I needed help with a kitchen wall plug, contacted USAmerican Electrical Services amongst others, they were the few first to respond with excellent reviews and were very accommodating to my schedule. Arvin was upfront and honest of the issues and potential costs. I ended up not only fixing the wall plug but adding a new line since my old house wires are not competitive with multiple electrical devices on at the same time. The job was done efficiently, they cleaned up after themselves and now everything works great. Happy customer.

Edwin is honest, dependable, and knowledgeable to his trade. Thank you for pointing us in the right direction. We will definitely use your services in the next couple of weeks.

Our house is currently getting remodeled and the electrician that was working on our wiring messed-up our meter reading which caused our ac unit to go out. I explained to Edwin the issue and he came to our home to evaluate the situation. He was prompt, polite, and wore a mask (which we appreciate). He told my husband that we needed to call Edison to make sure that the power lines going to our home wasn't damage. When Edison got here, they said it's good we called because there could've been major damage if some wirings were put together. Edison mentioned there was a faulty electrical connector that caused only one good leg to work (whatever that means), which could've blown up. So glad we prevented that from happening.

Anyways, the problem was fixed and we are so thankful for Edwin's advice. He really knows what he's doing and is good at it. Thank you again!

We had a great experience with Spark Masters. We had a sudden outage and had gotten a kind of sketchy quote from another company who had done a quick fix, so I called Alex for a second opinion. He sent Peter over right away and they gave us a very frank assessment, explaining our situation in full and giving us several options at several price ranges. We opted to upgrade our service panel to a 200 amp unit, and they did a great job. They were quick and thorough and checked in to make sure that all was working well after the job was done. Peter is very knowledgeable, professional, and just a really pleasant guy (which counts for a lot when you're having to have someone working on your house for several days). I would recommend to all.

Mario was able to give an honest quote and come out in short notice to add some outlets in the garage.  He and his employee William were punctual and polite, practiced good COVID protection and completed the job in good time.

Vasilii was good with communication and he let me know that he was running late. Reasonable pricing. Very professional. Replaced 3 recessed lights in the kitchen and installed 2 outdoor light fixtures. He also put up my house number plate for free. I highly recommend VS Electrical.

Just got to say Steve is a life saver.  After months of issues with power out in 4 outlets and the electrician that did the wiring couldn't fix, I called  Steve based on his reviews.  He methodical trouble shot the issue and resolved it quickly He kept me in formed during the whole process. While trouble shooting he also found many areas where the original electrician did not follow code and posed safety hazard.  Needless have an electrician for life.  I highly recommend Steve he is honest and has fair prices.  Thank you Steve you are a life saver, literally.

These guys are great! I've worked with them over the past month and a half and so far I have not had a single problem, I've got great customer service and great prices.

If you need recess lights or any electrical work, Tony is your guy. had a pretty big job for tony, 9 lights ( 11ft ceilings), added new outlets/switches and a whole host of stuff for my 2nd floor. He was perfessional and did a great job.  Hes my goto guy for any job, big or small.  Give Tony a call and you'll know what I mean.

Very clean finishing and install. He clearly cares about the aesthetics and put extra work into making it look nice. Good rate and was able to get the charger installed fast.

Val came out on a short notice and helped install a chandelier - the last piece of lighting that needed to be installed. He provided excellent service, and I'm happy with his work!

THE INCIDENT
So, I had an unusual problem. A circuit breaker died in my breaker box. I had had problems before on the kitchen's circuit with running a toaster and George Foreman at the same time. This was a different circuit.

When I was away from home, my fiance was heating up leftovers in the microwave, watching TV and running the washer. All were on the same circuit. Bam! All of a sudden everything went out. Darkness in half the house.

Over the phone, I had her check a few things. The circuit breaker wouldn't reset or turn back on. It was four switches with the center two tied together in a 2-20 configuration. I checked around on the Internet but since I didn't have any experience with breaker boxes, I decided to call an electrician and have it done right.

THE SEARCH
I checked online for an electrician. Angie's List angieslist.com required a paid subscription. YellowBook yellowbook.com was just pages of names and phone numbers without useful info. Bing bing.com was better. It linked me to Yelp reviews which I appreciated.

First, I contacted Powell Electric and was greeted by a call intake person who knew nothing about electrical work. They said flatly, $99 to come out applied to the job if you use us. Yelp told me that they could be 2-3x what other companies charged. No dice.

Next, I called West LA Electric. $95 to come out. I don't like that model. What if I don't feel comfortable with them. Still, an almost $100 hit!

Finally, I called Intelectric. Lorraine answered the phone. I told her that I was a small potatoes home owner who most likely needed a circuit breaker replaced. She was bright and cheery. Offered help right away. Then, she offered to let me speak to the Service Manager before scheduling my call to take in more info! Really? Awesome! That's the way it should be.

Rob the Service Manager was very helpful. He guided me on how to find the manufacturer, amp rating and location of the bad circuit breaker. This is FRIDAY AFTERNOON and he still managed to schedule a tech to come out by 5PM!

SERVICE CALL
Robert the Electrician came out. He was dressed professionally, wore boot booties and carried all of the necessary tools to get the job done. He had to bring a substitute circuit breaker (different manufacturer) because the matching one was on order from their same-day supplier. Intelectric wanted to get me up and running ASAP!

Within about 20 minutes, Robert disconnected the wires, tested the circuit, replaced the bad circuit breaker and hooked everything up again. He tested the circuit several times with a voltmeter. A-OK. He also checked my other circuit breakers to make sure the gauge of the wire matched the amps of the circuit breaker (very important!) All-in-all, it took about 1/2HR and I was up and running again!

Robert told me to contact Intelectric on Monday to find out when the matching circuit breaker would be arrive. He had me get on the phone with Rob to verify that there wouldn't be an additional charge to quickly swap out the circuit breaker. All good.

FOLLOW-UP
On Monday mid-day I got a call from Chris who said they were still waiting on the part but would let me know when they received it.

On Tuesday morning, I received a call from Lorraine that the matching circuit breaker had arrived and they would try to schedule Robert to return based on the timing at his first job. I received several more informative calls. They offered a service window of 12-2PM.

Robert arrived on-time and swapped the circuit breaker. He was done in about five minutes. I wrote a check for the circuit breaker, wished him well and ended the service call.

CONCLUSION
I'm writing this review right after Robert left. He's a big Lakers fan judging by his ever-present cap. Intelectric's service was, in my opinion, a slam dunk! My fiance and I are all set now with the matching circuit breaker, consistent electricity and functional knowledge of our breaker box.

Thank you Intelectric!

TOTAL COST: $95/HR for 1HR and $32 for the part = $127

Rick is amazing!

A few months ago he came over for a small job with a mysterious light switch. I wanted it to actually do something. We have an old house and so I didn't want to risk breaking something. He enlightened us that our light switch was probably for some sconces that were plastered over. We we're thrilled because this room needed more light. He dug them out and helped us install some beautiful sconses.

THEN, he just came over for a quick consultation. On a Saturday, he fit us in.

He doesn't BS you. He doesn't make you spend money you don't have to. He cares. He is refreshing.

Thanks Rick!

Couldn't be happier with the service we received from EastWest. Prompt, efficient, competitively priced. They installed both a 240V and a standard three prong outlet and the work was top notch.
