Best Businesses in California

Thanks to Romo and ER Electric for great customer service! I called Romo on Monday and there was a mix up in communication. He was supposed to call me back and I never heard from him. I followed up that evening and he responded right away. We got things cleared up and he came to home first thing the next morning. And to make up for the miscommunication, he didn't even charge me for the outlet repair! Just for that, I will definitely contact them in the future for any electrical needs.

I have a 1961 mobile that had been remodeled and rewired many times. Switches didn't work and no one could figure it out. Primo showed up on time, sorted it all out and now everything works as it should. Stayed within my budget too!

Great work from Chris and Justin who took care of my dual meter and 200amp service upgrade project for my rental property that I added a detached ADU. They did all the scheduling with SDG&E and city inspector. Their work passed the city inspection and now I got my 2 meters and a subpanel inside the garage that they transferred all the circuit from the old panel. They also gave me the lowest bid out of 5 contractors I contacted. Very professional and have all the materials ready when all the other contractors telling me that what I needed for the project are backordered.  Will definitely use them again for any future electrical projects. Thank you again to Chris and Justin!

Dean and his team are always quick to help me with any electrical issues I have with  my properties.  They provide excellent personal and quality service. They arrive when they say they will arrive. A rarity in the construction industry.

Great response time (less than 30 minutes between first message and arriving), good price, and a friendly, accommodating demeanor. Did good work for an usual job. Couldn't be happier.

This is a company that we have used multiple times in the past and trusted. We have always been happy with their service until this scheduled visit. Despite scheduling a morning appointment they booked us for an afternoon and then just called us to tell us that they were unable to service us today. This is incredibly poor customer service especially when we took days of vacation in order to be home and at the house at the time of the service. We notified the customer service agent about this specifically and were offered no appointment time and no additional compensation. Given our previous experiences with this company I expected much more. Based on this experience, Beware scheduling an appointment with them as they are unreliable and their ability to make their scheduled time..

I first found LTE Electric/Luke through a NextDoor recommendation. I first hired them to finish some electrical work for our kitchen remodel and most recently re-hired them for running some new circuits for a landscaping project.

Luke and his team are highly knowledgeable, cooperative, and responsive; which are traits you always want in a contractor. As I've hired them twice now, I won't hesitate to call them for my future projects.

After a nightmare of an experience with our previous electrician (who by the way had gotten paid already but didn't finish the job), I reached out to James.  He is responsive, reasonable, and does what he says he will do!  He is a professional and it's reflected in his work!  You won't get the run around or short cuts with him!  He did let us know that the other electrician took short cuts and split wires.... which is really disappointing to hear!  I would call and complain but I don't want him back out to try to fix it nor do I want to talk to him again.  James installed 5 recessed LED lights in my master bath and installed 4 dimmer switches.  It looks amazing, its quality work and it took him no longer than 45 minutes!  He works with a guy who does drywall and is even going to patch up the other electrician's drywall holes for us!  James has 5 star reviews for a reason... and I was not asked to write a review for him.  Honestly, if you're looking for someone who is dependable and will do what they say they will do then seriously stop looking and go with him!

If you need an energy monitoring device like the Emporia (see photos) installed, Roddy and his apprentice Vito are your guys! Roddy had not installed one of these before but came prepared and had watched the installation videos. They were fast, efficient, knowledgeable, resourceful, they did a very clean job in the panel given the octopus of wires (see photos), and they were extermely friendly and overall great to work with!  if you are searching for an electrician, stop searching and call these guys right now, you won't be disappointed!

If you have any electrical needs, please reach out to them! I had the pleasure of working with James on my electrical project, which included adding power near the fireplace, cable lines, phone line, grounding rod, etc. It was a lot of little projects which would have been annoying to do one at a time, so it was great to have him come and do this. I was moving into a new place which did not have the proper electrical set up or cable outlets, so I needed them installed asap, prior to moving in and James was able to work with his schedule to do this project before my movers and cable was set up.

James is very personable and knowledgeable. He answered all my questions and provided with me a lot of useful information as well. His prices are also reasonable, as I did do a couple of other estimates on the work. James came out to the property to check out my set up and was able to get me an estimate quickly. A couple of the other folks that I called didn't even come out and took 3-4 days to give me an estimate. For all my electrical needs, I will definitely be reaching out to them!

If you need any help with electrical work, reach out to Christian! This guy is the man!!! I had used too much power in one circut, resulting in 4 outlets and two light switches to go out, in my room alone. When christian arrived , he was a real polite guy, and very respectable. As he was working , I was shadowing him pretty much the entire time, and I got to see the magic unfold right before my eyes. First he took a look around at everything and then began trouble shooting. Once we figured out all the issues we had in the house to work on, Christian was as solid as a rock. He's a workaholic with tunnel vision, non stop on the way to get the job done! At the same time, on top of that, we made conversation the whole time , and had fun in doing so. I felt very comfortable with him in the house. Ive never met Christian, but It was like I had a long time friend with me that I haven't seen in a while! Our home is older and had so many un expected issues, but Christian made everything look like a piece of cake! I 100% recommend him to everyone looking for electrical work. I will be doing business with him again!

Greg was on time and ready to work.  He asked about my problem and was very informative on the problem and solution.  He was so on point and quick, I kept him around for about an hour with a couple other small jobs I had on my list that left to do.  I will gladly bring him back to help out on any electrical issue.  3 outlets replaced in an hour, a couple other ideas on expanding my electrical, and was reasonable with the price.  I WONt do electrical on my house since I am not certified, so I'm glad Greg was available and reasonable.

Great quality at a good price.  I had David re-wire my entire 1925 house over 8 years ago and I have had no issues over those 8 years.  David was great about working through my job changes and always explained my options and the pro/con of each option.

Had an issue with an exterior garage outlet that stopped working suddenly. Sent multiple requests out to Electricians for quotes. Most were overpriced and honestly gouging customers. Ramon responded quickly that he couldn't get out for over a week but offered some advise of potential easy DIY problems. After a few minutes troubleshooting he helped resolve the GFCI issue and probably saved my family $300+ dollars for a none issue. Highly advise anyone who is ethical enough to help people whether or not the get the business.

I'm glad I ended up going with EV Installs! Couldn't have been more professional, quick, and clean.

Would highly recommend. Thank you guys!!!

Sammy came to put an additional light fixture up on the side of my shed, the price was amazing the quality was outstanding and then the attention to detail WOW, if you are in need of an electrician look no further AND extremely prompt and on time, I highly recommend them

Picked Carlsbad Electric to install my 240V NEMA 14-50 outlet for EV charging because their quote was cheaper than the competitor. They came out next day and had the project done in about an hour. Install was clean and it works great! Quality service!

I found Ochoa Electric when I needed an electric panel upgrade and they gave a competitive bid and fit me into their schedule in time for my SDG&E appointment. Other electricians had said it was a complicated installation but Ochoa has a can do attitude. Their crew is experienced, knowledgeable, and efficient and found creative solutions for obstacles that troubled the other bidders.

I was so happy with their work that I hired them to rewire my old house! They grounded all the outlets, solved the mysteries of my circuits which caused power outages last winter, added new recessed lighting, and created a map of my circuits and then dedicated one for the kitchen and add a few new ones that I needed for modern appliances. They also sorted out some anomalies, such as the microwave being on the same circuit as the laundry room, and paired it more logically with the stove. Then last week when my water heater exploded, they found time to come on short notice to set up a new circuit for my new electric water heater.

What I love the most about this team is that they alert me to problems and ask me before doing anything that's not in the plan. Then they're willing to troubleshoot problems and find a variety of solutions if I don't like the first idea they offer me, versus so many contractors who just do whatever without even alerting me to an issue and asking my opinion. And they show up on time in professional-looking uniforms.

I recommend Ochoa Electric wholeheartedly for any electrical situation!

We needed 3 of our home fan replaced. Tom was very professional, gave us a fair quote and was on time . He was through about balancing the fans and did an impressive job!

We highly recommend him & would reach out to him for out future electrical needs.

I had 4 old light fixtures which needed to be replaced with new ones. I swapped out on my own but was unsuccessful to get them to work.

I called CLD Electric to troubleshoot the issue. I was informed there in a $90 per 30 minute troubleshooting charge plus $75 trip charge= $165 with a $240 minimum job billing.  I was told if I consented to the work, the trip charge would be waived. The electrician removed the first light fixture and identified the problem as being a wiring issue. He accomplished this in 15 minutes. I explained to him that the wiring for the rest of the light fixtures were done the same way. He asked if I wanted him to repair - which meant rewire the light fixture and place onto the wall. I responded, 'yes.'

Upon completion, the electrician presented a bill for $420!!! The company overcharged me and explained to me that the continued to charge me $90 per 30 min to troubleshoot the other light fixtures!!  

After contacting the owner, he agreed to reduce my bill by $90. This was truly appreciated.  

So for anyone looking to use CLD Electric, please note you will be charged $240 minimum per job regardless of time and effort.
