Best Businesses in California

Set up an appointment for an estimate with Isaac over a week ago. The morning of the appointment he sent me a message for my address again. I gave it to him and he confirmed our 4:30 appointment. By 5 I called him and he was too busy with his job he was on to come out to me. If you can't  hold your commitments to future customers, I don't think you will be in business very long.

After the pump in my backyard pond shut down, I called a pond maintenance repair company. They deduced that the GFI powering the pond had blown and needed replaced. When they failed to call or return in 24 hours, I panicked! My poor turtles needed help. So I took to yelp and found the reviews for Electrical 24.

Tim returned my message promptly and was able to be at my house at my earliest convenience. I explained my issue and showed Tim the problem. Rather than simply changing the GFI, Tim looked at all the power lines (and there are plenty of them) in my backyard and around the outside of the house. The contractors who flipped my house did a real half-assed job with the electrical work.

I was impressed with how thorough Tim was getting to the root of the problem, while also discovering live power lines which I was told were dormant. Scary! After his assessment, he found the breaker rooting the power to the pond. The GFI wasn't even faulty after all, and didn't need replaced! Tim saved my sanity and will be back to modify the live power sources as well.

It can be a scary thing to have to put your trust in someone, especially when you're going simply off reviews online. But look no further than Electrical 24 for an honest, smart, trustworthy electrician!

These guys really are pros.

Kyle did a great job working with me to cost out the job to install a ChargePoint EV Charger for my electric SmartCar and help me figure out what I needed and how to go about doing it. He also made all the arrangements to get me the right permits from the city and even gave me some great suggestions for how to convince my HOA to get on board.

Then, when it came time for the installation, Kwan did an awesome job! He made some great suggestions on how and where to place the charging unit, and then went ahead and installed it with no problems. He got the whole thing done and dusted in no time flat.

Especially if you're in Costa Mesa, call these guys. But even if you're not, if you want a company that knows what they're doing, call these guys. You won't be disappointed.

I found Joel here on Yelp frantically looking for a good electrician that could install some ceiling fans after my attempt failed.. In my defense I think it was a bad fan cause I did match red to red, white to white etc and nothing.. I called Joel and out of 5-6 calls around to various electricians he was the only one that picked up.  I explained my situation and he agreed to come out the same day and do the installation.  The price was very reasonable and his work was top notch and very professional.  The trades is a type of industry where when you find a good plumber, electrician, mechanic etc you keep them for life.  I plan on using Joel again for my electrical needs as he is that good, reliable, and above all honest and professional.  I highly recommend Joel for your electrical needs.  A really great guy!!

Looking at Rudy's reviews (all great), maybe I just had a bad experience. Maybe he was having a bad day. Or maybe he has paid/asked friends to post on Yelp. I don't know. This review solely pertains to what he charged and his professionalism. I contested his charge. He was defensive and confrontational about it. His basic point was that he has a lot of experience and therefore is in his right to charge more. I told him I spoke to another electrician who would've charged half what Rudy did (others with knowledge said I was overcharged as well). He asked how old the guy was. He was younger than Rudy. Rudy then said he's older, therefore more experienced and better. A curious argument in my opinion. I then asked if my electrician was 60 years old (Rudy is in his 50s according to him) if that would've changed his argument. He didn't respond. That's how the conversation went. We were on a call and he either then hung up or got disconnected. I don't know. I've never posted on Yelp before. I told Rudy during the call that the only thing I could do was post a bad review of him. He said to go for it. So, here I am following his wishes. Perhaps the mundane task he did for me was done with the ultimate class. I can't say. Everything seems to be fine so I'm not contesting his work. As I said before, this solely pertains to his fees and professionalism. In my mind, any electrician could have done what needed to be done. Perhaps Rudy is the go to guy for complex jobs. I can't say. But, in my opinion and based on my experience, if you're looking for some standard electric work and don't want to be charged a premium by a guy who seems to think he's the greatest thing to happen to electricity since Thomas Edison, then don't contact Rudy.

I recently purchased a 56 year old home in Del Cerro. It was in bad need of better lighting and updating the electric switches and plugs.  Tony and his crew from
Brite Electric have given me a New Light on things! House looks more modern and everything is brighter and easier to read, work on computer etc.  All the work was done in 2 days and at a very Fair price. A 5 Star Experience!

OMG!!! This company is phenomenal!  We had to update our old radiant ceiling heating system and were at the end of our budget. We had totally remodeled our home and spent enough money as it was. Then we had to deal with bypassing the old system and having electric box heaters installed into the walls in 4 rooms. Scary as they would need to cut into the walls to do this.  After 5 other bids from local Electricians that would come out and ask us electrical questions we could not answer (which honestly scared us off) or saying they could probably do the the job) we found Service Rite Electric. They came out right away, told us what needed to be done and what type of power our system could support. They had an estimate in writing to us within the hour via email and came out the next day to do the work. They were finished in 2.5 hours and not one bit of mess! The new wall heaters looked gorgeous and work perfectly and since they finished in half the time, they took off $350.00 dollars!! Yes I definitely recommend this company! Fair, fast and friendly.

Lucian helped with some electrical issues at my home, and he did a great job.  Very responsive, reasonable and responsive.  Big thumbs up!!

This is the second time I have used Dave and his crew. I was hoping the first time was not an anomaly. My wife got one of those new jet engine hair dryers that were tripping the breaker all the time. So I called RK for help. Dave came in to size up the job - even took the time to understand the problem so that he could provide an appropriate solution. He quoted the job then took the time to explains the job very clearly so there is no misunderstanding it was almost a college level tutorial on basic electronics.  His crew came in and got the job done, cleans up and very professional. As long as he is in business he will have my business for life. ...I highly recommend RK

I would say that Gunner is probably the best handyman I have ever used. Along with his excellent well-rounded skillset, he responds quickly to calls/texts, he shows up on time, has highly competitive rates, but most of all, he is friendly, personable and I also feel that I can trust him which is extremely important! I would highly recommend Gunner.

Saeid was able to help me on short notice and got the job done quickly and knowledgeably.

George was polite, responsive and honest. He took our work at a moment's notice and showed up nice and presentable and his job was even cleaner. Thanks George

I had Martin Electric install recessed lighting & ceiling fans in 3-different rooms.  They also installed a Quiet Cool whole house fan.  Bill and his team did a fantastic job.  They showed up on time and completed the job in 1-day.  Better yet they performed the work under the proposed price estimate.  If your looking for a fair & reputable business owner I would highly recommend you call Martin Electric.

Dr. Electric (Owner Todd and his helper) came to my home today and installed two recessed lights and a switch for them in my bedroom.  They showed up on time, prepped the area for a clean work space, and reviewed the work to be performed again with me.  When they were done the room was cleaner than when they arrived.  The lights function beautifully and light up the dark areas of my closet, which is what I wanted.  I appreciate the professionalism of the Dr. Electric crew and I will be calling them again for my next electrical job.  Great pricing too!

Jeff is a skilled electrician, a great guy, and fun to work with. He installed new ceiling lighting while the decking on roof was off for a new roof installation.  Timing was everything and he worked collaboratively with the roofers.  He has done a couple of other small jobs for us. He is creative, careful and very skilled.  Good communication.  Excellent experience!

I highly recommend CET Electric. I called different electric companies on a Friday afternoon on the off chance that someone could come out over the weekend or first thing Monday morning and install an outdoor light in a location with no existing light. It involved cutting into stucco, etc. We had painters coming on Monday and I knew it was a long shot. Karina at CET electric gave me an estimate over the phone and was able to send Stephen. The estimate was very fair and Stephen was fantastic and very professional. We were pleasantly surprised to get the final bill and it was even lower than the original estimate. That never happens! My husband and I were very impressed and will now be using CET for lots of can lighting throughout our house.

Of all the tradesmen who have come to my home throughout my life, Stuart, of Stuart Electric, has been the most professional and conscientious of the entire group.  He is honest, fair, and diligent.  I hired him to change a smoke detector, which I couldn't reach, at the top of a stairwell.  While the job itself was not particularly complex, getting the right ladder in place required a certain amount of creativity and finesse.  Stuart made it look easy and treated our home as if it were his own --- he wore booties, covered the floors properly and was careful not to ding the walls with his equipment.  Overall, a very positive experience.  Will definitely hire him again!

I hired Ms Sparky to do some cans/light replacements and additions.  She was referred by a friend.  Tried calling and emailing and took awhile for her to get back to me.  Showed up early for initial estimate look.  Very pleasant person.  I liked her and was glad to support a woman in a typically man world.  She told me she would email me her bid.  Did not hear from her for several weeks...called her and no response to my message, finally emailed her and she sent bid.  Told her I was good to go and ready to move forward.  Again, took awhile for her to respond to me after several tries on my part.  They did the work.  Her team was awesome...pleasant, professional and they worked well together as a team.  Work was completed in a timely manner once they finally got to the job.  Some additional lights were needed...and again had to wait several times for her to get back to me to schedule the work after several contacts by me.  All work done.  Had trouble with one of the lights they installed...called/emailed numerous times and finally she returned my call.  Sent Jeremy out and he said problem was in the switch plate....and that Mary would get back to me about replacing as they would have to find.  This was about three or more weeks ago.  Have heard nothing from her.  So, just sharing, so you know in this instance her communication and return of calls and emails etc....were poor....and hence frustrating on my part.  Pam

Just like all the other reviews we had an appointment scheduled, waited around all day and he never showed, never called. He didn't answer his phone nor did he call us back. He answered one time, and hung up on us. We ended up going with somebody else who will return a phone call and won't hang up on us when we call. Go elsewhere
