Best Businesses in California

Was available right away and took great care of me! And it was a weekend! Nice work!!

One of the best experiences I've had with a contractor/electrician ever! Craig and Shane came out within 1 day of calling to take a look at my situation and had me a full estimate in a matter of hours. They got me on the schedule a day later and went above and beyond with the work. They know their stuff and were super professional and meticulous in their work. Highly recommend Core Electric!

We were in a pinch and I saw a recommendation for Jimmy on NextDoor, so I called.  Fortunately he was free the next morning and he went to work trying to figure out our lack of power on one wall problem.  He was able to find the source of the problem and fix it for a reasonable price- we were very happy with his work and hope to hire him for some future projects.  Even my uber-picky husband was impressed.  Excellent customer service skills too!

Mark was very helpful over the phone with my inverter for my motor home, never had to take it to him. Each time I called be had an answer that kept me moving through the process to change my batteries and complete the reboot.
I will recommend Mark for all my RV friends.

My absolute go to for electrical. Bingham has been in the business apparantly his whole life and it shows. Knows what he's doing and has fair pricing. Highly recommend!

We have dealt with Ideal for years for plumbing services. In every case they were honest, reliable and skilled.

This last time we used them for electrical service after the freak storm damaged our riser and necessitated SDGE shutting off our power.  Despite being fully booked, they managed to have Jeff come out and look over what was needed (during the day,  saving us overtime charges). He was able to get a tech (Eddie) out to fix our riser the very same day. Jeff and Eddie were both a dream to deal with; pleasant, knowledgeable and hardworking. Eddie fixed our riser in short order and we were able to get our power back on that day.

Ideal is not cheap, but we definitely get what we pay for every time we hire them! We can't say enough good things about the company and its staff. Highly recommended!

Alert: deceitful billing practices! Contractor taking advantage of an emergency power outage.

After a utility pole went down on our property, we got a quote from Alfredo for temporary power/Generator hook up, which we thought was pretty high to begin with. As it turned out, he billed and got paid from our tenants directly in addition to what he charged us, which almost doubled the cost of temp. power. He later claimed the amount he quoted and charged us was only for the second day's work, not the first night, even though he texted us both before AND after working on the property on that first night, fist saying he is on his way and then again saying our tenants have temp. power and everything is good, never mentioning there was a separate charge for that first night. The next day, we were told he left his cell phone in the office, so that we could not contact him, and no one else in the office had any details about this job. We called a couple of times because we wanted a quote for the utility pole replacement (until we heard from our tenants about the separate payment).  After two days, we never received a quote for the utility pole. We had another electrician do that, who did an excellent job and for a reasonable amount.

Dave and Julian completed some work on my condo last month (apparently I started my review and forgot to publish) and I couldn't be happier with the work they did. They can right in the middle of their arrival window, gave me a quick estimate, and got right to work. I wanted to have a chandelier removed and a new one installed in a slightly different location. They were able to do so without any extra holes (the hole you see in the photo is from the previous chandelier) and we're all clean up and gone with 90 minutes of arrival. The guys were friendly, personable, and knowledgeable (I asked questions about future projects because I fully plan to use Zed for all my little electrical projects. To top it all off, they completed the work under budget! Their over-the-phone bid was already lower than everyone else, so to come in even under that was a fantastic surprise. Great company at a probably the best rates in town!

I also asked them for a quick estimate on some additional projects I'd like to get done, and not only did they give me a ballpark figure while they were here, but also sent me a written estimate in the mail after the fact. It's so nice having it all written out so as I get the funds set aside, I can move along with all my little projects.

Daniel was on time to our scheduled appointment and did great work. He explained what he was doing as he went so I could understand. He solve my most pressing issues and was willing to go the extra mile. I absolutely recommend and would use him again.

I hired Darrell to install aluminum cable railing for my San Diego home and he was all you could ask for: prompt, polite and professional. He provided a quote that was totally fair (not the cheaper and not the most expensive).  He showed up the night before to verify the location, the supplies and to confirm that's he'd be there the next day.  He finished the job beautifully and with great care.  I highly recommend this professional!

John installed over 10 light fixtures for me at a quite reasonable price. Phenomenal work. Highly recommended.

Kelly is an extremely thorough professional and a pleasure to do business with. I needed my exhaust fans in the bathrooms and kitchen area cleaned (had not been cleaned for years by previous owner) and also needed to install some towel hooks in the bathrooms. Everything was done in record time. She also fixed the alignment of a malfunctioning door knob (we thought we would need to change out the entire door knob, but she saved us money by just making some minor adjustments which was amazing!)....Of all the handy persons that I communicated with, she was the one who knew exactly what needed to be done just from the descriptions that I sent, which was an indication of her experience and talent. I will be  requesting her assistance for other home projects and would highly recommend her services!

I called Rick after reading his reviews on Yelp and Nextdoor. He came out to troubleshoot and repair an electrical issue on very short notice. Along with fixing the problem, he had some great ideas on future projects. I will definitely use Rick again and highly recommend his services.

Hooked up my hottub and everything works great.  It has been 1.5 years since install and no issues.  JW was prompt and courteous.  The owner made some outstanding recommendations on the install - for example, a covered outdoor electical outlet (to avoid getting splashed) and we love it.
I now need to use JW again and wanted their number, found on Yelp and decided to post a review.  I will post again after they install my lights and fans in my outdoor living space!

I lost power to half my home. He was able to come same day. Not only did he restore power but he fixed other electrical problems I had throughout my home. Very friendly and overall good guy. Would most definitely recommend.
