Best Businesses in California

I recently had recessed lighting installed in my kitchen.  The whole process went smoothly from setting up the appointment for an estimate to actually having the work completed.  I had placed a call very early in the morning to request an appointment for an estimate.  I received a response back very promptly at 6:15 in the morning!  How is that for customer service?  An appointment was set for that same day with Javier.  Javier arrived promptly and was very efficient.  I received the estimate and decided I wanted to work with Next Level and set up an installation date for the following week.  

The installation crew, Cruz, Eder, Roberto and Andrew, showed on time.  Once they learned I had new flooring they immediately put protective booties on over their shoes.  The installation was completed in record time.  They cleaned up after themselves and I could not have been more pleased.

Next came the drywall crew.  Again.  Could not be happier.  They were very careful to ensure they left my kitchen in a clean condition.  I had never installed lighting like this before and was envisioning big holes in my ceiling.  I could not have been more wrong.  Aside from the beautiful job both crews did, you would never know they were ever there.  All I need now is to apply paint.

I highly recommend Next Level Lighting and Electric.  Working with Steve and his team was a stress-free experience.  Steve, I really like and appreciate the way you do business.  I will definitely be contacting you again.  I see new ceiling fans in the not-too-distant future.

Thank you to Steve and the whole crew!

I would just like to yelp that i had a great experince with this company. Everything was done ontime and on budget. To add to that -  they were clean and professional.  They did a ton of work to my home and everything works perfectly and my  home has become the house on the block to watch movies in due to how well my new home theater sounds. Thank you  So Cal Home Theater for a job well done-  Use these guys!

I used Armes Electric to install an outdoor plug for my internet box.  AT&T runs fiber to the side of the house and the box they install requires power.  Unfortunately, there was no 110v outlet in the communications side panel.  

From start to finish my experience with Armes Electric was absolutely fantastic.   Every person I spoke to from making the appointment, confirming my appointment, as well as the actual install was professional, courteous and respectful.  

As for the quality of the work: superb.  Armando showed up on time, recommended a solution that worked for me, and explained exactly what he was going to do and why before starting on any work.  

Armes Electric will definitely be my go to electricians going forward.  Thank you all for a stellar experience!

Never having had to call an electrician, I was pleased that my first experience was with Roberts Electric Service.  I found them through the GSDBA and then cross referenced with Yelp and the BBB.  From the phone call with Matt to Robert who made the house call, they were courteous and accommodating.  I even asked Robert to put on shoe boots, and he was mindful to keep checking them because one sometimes slipped off.  He thoroughly checked all possible angles of the outage and finally pinpointed the not-so-obvious cause.  He was even savvy enough to use everyday language to help me understand why I had faulty wiring.  If the rates were a tad bit better, I'd give a full five stars.  I now wonder if it was the eponymous Robert who helped me out.  I'll ask next time since they'll be my go to guys for any other electrical needs.

My Main circuit breaker broke on a Sunday afternoon. My husband was at work and I couldn't believe that out of all of our friends none of them are electricians! I called around for about an hour trying to find somebody who wouldn't charge me an arm and a leg to replace the $20 part. My husband was at work and I knew my chances of getting ripped off were pretty high. My husband called me and told me he found a guy that wants me to call him because he could walk me through fixing it. I told my husband that I already knew how to flip a breaker switch. He said he already told that to the electrician and that he wanted me to call him anyway.
I reluctantly called the number my husband gave me and sure enough the gentleman on the other line walked me through fixing the problem myself at no charge! He knew my husband was not at home and could have easily made a quick $200! I am so grateful for this man's honesty and will definitely be calling Pacific Electric for all of my electrical needs!

I was referred to Arendt Electric by my general contractor to find the source of a circuit fault. It was evident Chad has significant experience diagnosing improperly wired circuits. He handled the problem promptly. As a result of his talent, I have hired him to help me make my new house the way I want it. Fan install, ceiling speakers for Atmos theatre sound, and outdoor wiring.

Farhad was very prompt from when I used Yelp's Request A Quote feature. He showed up within an hour of me posting. He fixed a broken dishwasher and sink. He also correctly diagnosed the problem a broken security light that is about 15 feet high in hard-to-reach spot. There is more work to be done around the house and I will use his help again. Very friendly and clean, too.

Called last minute for help with a DIY project gone wrong. Was able to fit me in the next day, and re-wired my entire kitchen/living room in 7 hours, even sweeping and vacuuming when finished. Super friendly, hardworking guys! Manager even stopped by to check the progress and see if I needed anything else. They were clean, on-time and extremely knowledgable. You can tell they pride themselves on efficiency, cleanliness and excellent customer service!!

Thank you so much Louie and Sean for all your hard work! Your job exceeded my expectations ten-fold and I'm so happy to have found you on Yelp. Thanks for being great with the kitty and puppy as well!!!!!!!

We first hired Energy Electric to redo all the wiring in my Mom's family home. Then we brought them back to modernize the place later. Over the years we have done several more projects, large and small. And every time the service is first class, done perfectly and completely.  Chris and his team are total professionals who also deliver friendly service, and offer solid advice.  Their pricing is always fair and amazingly reasonable.  
Since Covid, they are masked and respectful of social distancing. We feel very safe working with them.  It is not often we get a chance to look at 10 years of working with a trusted vendor and can say, without hesitation that Energy Electric is the best we know and recommend them without reservation.

Wow I had the best service ever!!!  Eric came to my house on time and ready to fix my problem.  He is very professional and knowledgeable on what he does.  I needed an additional part to finish the job so without hesitation Eric went to Home Depot free of charge I could not believe it.  Also I told him about a bathroom light and he looked at it and fixed it no problem. His fee's are great.   I will always have his number on hand and tell my friends too.

Volt was recommended to us by a jacuzzi store. They came out and gave us a quote, but wanted to take a route that was more than dbl the necessary route. When I called to ask for clarification and ask for a break down of the quote into time & material, and I never received a return call or email. Called and spoke the the receptionist first and then emailed a few days later. Very unprofessional. I worked for an electrical contractor for 7 years, and a construction management firm for 5. I know what is acceptable, what they need to break down for me in a quote upon request, and what I should be able to expect from a licensed contractor, regardless of trade.

I called Nathan to install four of my chandeliers/light fixtures and he did an excellent job! He was punctual, professional, and kind! I highly recommend Nathan and Albers electric and I will use them in the future. Thank you Nathan !

We've used Bill for many years. I'm surprised there are not more reviews posted regarding his excellent service. If you want someone who shows up on time, returns phone calls, is professional and honest with reasonable rates, don't hesitate to call him.

Had an electrical issue with several rooms that were originally wired incorrectly...

Repairman came out and was quick and thorough in resolving the issue.  Plus, found reasons for the problem; advised us to to use certain appliances on certain walls anymore.

Great experience, I called and got a quote to install my tesla wall charger. I also did not know anything about electrical but they explained what I might need so there wasn't any surprises, the staff was friendly and on time. Everything was done quick and professionally. I could not believe the price difference from this company and Trout, Trout wanted to add a subpanel and charge around 3 grand.

Had another guy try and wire an ac outlet, HDMI and speaker wire for a home theater.  Had to have him stop after he had started.  He cut a big hole in my drywall and said the wires couldn't be fished.  Would have to open up the ceiling at each rafter to run it.
Had Joe come out.  He saved the day.  Ran the outlet, HDMI, and speaker wire.  He was able to fish all of it without cutting a piece of drywall.  He even found a recessed tv outlet box that was big enough to cover the hole the other guy had cut in my ceiling.  Had him install a hanging light and a fan/light in another room as well.  I'll be using Joe for all my electrical needs from here on out.

RJ was prompt & professional, he took care of several issues in a matter of minutes for a reasonable price. Thanks again.

Chris is hands-down the best electrician in town! He has been taking care of me and my family for over 10 years now, and no matter how huge an issue we might be dealing with, Chris always finds an economical way to quickly resolve the problem. He is fast, responsive, honest and REALLY knows his stuff.

On Friday 11/1/19, I spoke to Lisa who per her own words is right under John the owner to make decisions.  I was supposed to receive a call back on Monday 11/4/19 either from her or John but no call to me was made.  Today, Thursday 11/7/19, I called to follow up since no one called me.  Per Lisa, We cannot do the hardwire for $125 but can for $345.  When I asked the reason for $345 when the option of hardwire was never given to me she stated, We install remote now and don't do many hardwire.  So, wait a minute? A decision was made for me on what you thought was best for me and now you want to charge me $345 vs $125?  Unfortunately, Lisa was very unprofessional as she hung up on me due to her not being able to answer my straight forward question namely, Why wasn't the hardwire option given to me but now you want to charge me $345 vs $125.  It's sad that John the owner, Lisa, and Rick did not simply put aside their pride and own up to the mistake.  Rather, they now lost a customer for life and no more referrals will go there way.  Customer service to this company is only as good as them not making a mistake but if a mistake is made no customer service.

Run and look elsewhere!
So I need two or three wall receptacles and one outside receptacle repaired or replaced. After a msg to Good New via Yelp, I finally connect with Miguel on the phone. I start to explain what I need, he almost immediately interrupts and asks how many bedrooms, single or two story, etc etc. I answer, then he immediately states that he recommends that he go through the entire house and replace all the receptacles, and it will only cost me around $1,200.

He never took the time to listen to my problem and why I called. He has no idea what year this house was built, whether the receptacles I need replacing are in the garage/house/other, are they recently installed and went bad, or hmm, any of several questions I would expect he ask.

No, he simply and immediately attempts to sell me something I don't need for a quick $1,200.

Look elsewhere. My suspicion is you'll be taken for a ride here. He may do a good job, not sure, but he'll likely get a good chunk of your money, much of which you may not need to spend. What he won't get is my business. I don't recommend him for yours. I suspect he may take advantage of those that he can.
