Best Businesses in California

Elder responded promptly to a Yelp inquiry and we had him and his team out the next morning. They diagnosed the problem, offered up different options and completed everything in just a few hours. Elder and his team were very friendly, trustworthy, and offered fair pricing. We would definitely recommend Avila Electric and will be using Elder for our future projects!

Min replaced outdated solar lights with electric. He is smart, creative, and accommodating. He was forthright and honest, and I believe that few could have completed the complex job as quickly and accurately as he did! I cannot recommend an electrician more highly, especially for complex jobs.

I am happy to report that my experience with Alfano Electric was extraordinary. This is now the second time I have used them at my house in Santa Monica and they were on time, under-budget and very professional in all ways. They left the house clean and the work they did was excellent. Diana, who runs the office, was very pleasant and professional on the phone. Overall the whole experience was terrific. I would happily and comfortable recommend them.

Jeremy arrived on time and fixed the problems plus a pair of minor things we requested in under 2 hrs. Would definitely use him again.

Fernando is awesome!

We'd been living with no electricity in our back room for 2 weeks when my husband finally gave in and called a professional. Fernando and American Chase Electric were the first to get back to him and he showed up in less than two hours. Our house was in transition as we were painting and removing/replacing furniture in multiple rooms. Fernando wasn't even phased by having to climb through our mess to take care of the problem. He communicated with us throughout the entire process to make sure we understood the problem and the potential short and long-term solutions. Fernando completed the work quickly and followed up with me multiple times to ensure things were going well and ask if we had any questions.

We will definitely be calling them again for future electrical needs. Highly recommend Fernando and team!

My printer internet and other electronics we're dead as well as two bedrooms needed a new breaker Quickest to reply to my problem and the cheapest to fix it very reliable Works quickly and reasonably I would highly recommend to anyone.

Last Friday, I had HandyLectric come out and look at a few lights that weren't working in our kitchen and bathroom.  They suggested the issue was the ballasts and suggested removing the lights and replacing with LED cans to avoid future ballast problems and save money with LEDs.  So far, so good, as I think this was good advice.  They posed this as a reasonable and easy replacement, but said nothing more about the process or work involved in doing that switch other than (1) to say it would take 2-3 hours and cost $100 per can, (2) that they would like to tell us what color light we preferred in the meantime, and (3) that they would be here at 8am this Friday.  The men were in and out quickly, saying they had to work on another job and the other crew wasn't available to handle the work that day.  Again, this all seemed fine and we were so far pleased with the professionalism, even if it meant taking another day off of work.

Today (Friday) at 8:15 (15 minutes after they should have arrived), I receive a voicemail from Jeremy at Handylectric to see if they can send out the workers and go over a couple of things.  I call right back and, at that point, I'm told that the work will involve removing the ballasts by ripping up the ceiling stud-to-stud, work that they would not patch, something that he wanted to make sure I realized.  I did not, in fact, realize that.  While I understand they're electricians not painters/plasterers, obviously if they had fully explained the work ahead when they proposed it last Friday, I could have arranged for other contractors to come to patch (perhaps seeking a recommendation from them), or sought a company that could do both (which certainly exists, since I've already discussed it with other electricians).  I am not an electrician or a contractor and thus had no familiarity with what would be involved in the work when proposed; when it was put to me as a 2-3 hour straightforward job, I assumed that, at the end of that, I would have attractive and efficient LED lighting without accompanying holes in my ceiling.  

When I asked why the full scope of the work (especially the holes that would not be patched) was not explained to me in advance, Jeremy at first said this was why he was glad he talked to me before sending the guys over.  I said this was unacceptable given that it was a week after the guys initially looked at the lights and after the time they should have arrived on a day where I'd obviously already taken off work without having the opportunity to make other arrangements to have my ceiling patched.  Jeremy then claimed that the man who came last Friday HAD told me the ceiling would be opened but not patched.  This wasn't true, as both my wife and I can attest.  Nor would it make sense that (1) I was so surprised by it today if I had been told or (2) Jeremy would need to tell me about it again on the day he was supposed to be sending the guys to my house since he would have already known that I fully understood the process.

Thus, while I thought the price was good and initially was happy with the professionalism of the men who visited last Friday, today's response (and attempt to retroactively cover for their prior incomplete explanation) means I will be finding a different company to do the work.

Tim has worked on a number of projects at our home over the last couple of years and has done extremely high quality work each time. In a recent project in which he was doing extensive re-wiring for a remodel of both our bathrooms his work drew high praise from the main contractor foreman who also has an electrician on staff. In addition, I have always found his estimates to be extremely reasonable and accurate. I have referred him to many people and highly recommend him.

Originally we were scheduled to have the electrician come by to see what's wrong with our bathroom and closet lights couple weeks out. Due to the positive reviews (especially how there were so many reviews about their honesty), we decided to wait. Then much to our surprise, the electrician was able to arrive earlier than the scheduled date! We were ecstatic! And the electrician was able to solve the issue the same day!
We finally have light in our master bathroom and closet! Would totally hire Ryan Electric again for any future electrical issues!

AES Electric is an excellent value--and I trust their work. They installed a car charger in my garage, trenched 20 feet from the electrical panel. Done in half a day, they went out of their way to make this easy for me as the homeowner. They left no mess, were extremely professional and efficient. I will be hiring them again for some electrical work inside the house. I am so glad I found them!

Very professional, very honest, and I highly recommend.
We needed a NEMA 14-50 and a couple exterior standard outlets installed, they were half the price compared to another quote.
The communication with them was great and their work was thorough.
About a month after the work I had a question about the amps from a dedicated circuit and Martin responded right away, so helpful!
I will be calling these guys next time I need electrical work.

Michael and the team were great in getting my installation of a Level 2 charger done in a timely manner and for a reasonable price. It was a bit complicated as I had to add an additional line to the house to get the LADWP discounted rate for EV charging but happy with the results and we've been charging great for a year now. I even recommended them to my dealer so I'd use them again.

I spoke with Jack on the phone for 20 minutes describing the electrical issue I was having. I thought the best solution was to rewire the part of the kitchen that was giving problems. His solution was to troubleshoot the actual issue to hopefully save money. Throughout the call, he quoted a price of a $75 service charge plus $35 per hour and said HE would be there at 10. At 9:30, another person from the company called and said the service charge was now $150 and the hourly rate was $70 because he was sending two guys, I assume not Jack. In the meantime I had to call the other electricians I spoke to who could not come until later in the day that I was going with someone else. If I have to pay a service charge to get a quote, I am pretty much bound to give them the business.

To me this comes down to one of two issues: bait and switch or the person I spoke with does not know the company policies. Either way, save your time and go with another company.

Although I was really looking forward to using this electrician, he never called or showed when he said he would. Had really good reviews but it was misleading. I really tried to stick to this contractor but left me hanging dry for almost a week.

Enrique responded quickly to the call, arrived early and fixed the job within 30 minutes. We just had an outlet short. He was very honest, reliable and informative. I will definitely be calling him again in the future.

Augustine and Victor did an outstanding job at a very fair price. They wore a face covering the whole time, asked exactly what was to be done, and were very customer friendly. Frank in the office always took my calls or returned my calls in a very short time. Frank was a pleasure to work with always. I would highly recommend Ballard Electric and will do so with family and friends!

What a pleasure this experience was and a gem in the landscape of the electrical services industry. I first contacted another supposed 24/7 company to come on a Sunday to handle a relatively simple smoke alarm problem, but is a bigger problem because 2 of them are 16 ft up on on the wall. The malfunction was causing a unit to sound for about 1 second, but every 37 seconds. I worried that it might go off continuously, so I needed a quick reliable fix on a Sunday morning.

The first company I called at 9am said that they would come b/n 11am-1pm which already bothered me because their ad said 1hr emergency service 24/7 and they were going to charge me a hefty service call fee for being on a Sunday, but I still agreed, They called at 11am to say that they would need to reschedule for Monday morning. They had wasted 2 hours and were not going be able to help that day at all.

Then I went on-line and searched and found American Reliable Services. They had a lower Sunday service fee, a very nice and helpful customer service rep who said she would get someone to my home with the right ladder and experience for the job within the hour. True to their word, David arrived 45 minutes later and found the problem by assessing all three of my smoke alarms. He replaced the faulty unit's battery and retested all 3 smoke alarms and charged me only for the service call as he had me fixed right up in less than an hour.

Next time, it's only American Reliable Services for me and I specifically hope to have the work done by David if it is at all possible. Thank you American Reliable Services.

I needed someone reliable to help me with a host of electrical odd jobs.  Alex came to the rescue.  He and his technician, Allen were absolutely fantastic.  They were prompt, respectful and did a fantastic job.  I will be using them again for some additional work and recommend them to anyone that wants a job well done!

Great guys, honest service.  I had a problem with my power flickering.  They were able to fit me in there schedule quickly.  Once here they started looking for the problem immediately checking off each possible reason for it.  They found it, replaced the items that were faulty and I have not had a problem since.  I definitely recommend.
