Best Businesses in California

Issac and Rico are professionals who did a wonderful job installing our chandelier and fans throughout our home.  They're meticulous, organized, and they do clean and awesome work.  I highly recommend them to anyone needing excellent electrical work.  Thanks, Issac and Rico!!!

I've been having Tim do my electricity for years ever since I started my first businesses.  Got referred by a few friends and found a friend, brother and teacher in the process.  He does a bang up job and does it in a timely and professional manner.  And the rates are always the best around.  Don't bother with anyone else you get top notch work with competitive pricing and someone you can count on when you need them the most.

EV Pros was recommended by one of our friends. The whole process was painless starting with Jennifer who handled the quote and answered any of our questions thoroughly.

The engineer, Kwan, who came right on time was very easy to work with. He was polite, clean and knowledgeable. Overall great team and would not hesitate to hire them for future work.

We upgraded our home and added light cans in each room.  There were more than 24 new lights installed.  Joel was very responsive and professional, even when we added to the original job.  He was efficient and knowledgeable about what would work best for us.  The price was fair.  Joel told us he could patch any hole he needed to make to install new lights.  In our case Joel was able to install new lights without cutting into our drywall.  He also installed a special switch and purchased a generator for us.  We spent about $4000.00 on a complete home remodel of all of our lights.  We would definitely use him again, and highly recommend him.

Rudy has helped us several times handling electrical issues and upgrades inside and outside our house.  He has even done troubleshooting over the phone with me, which has saved us lots of money, avoiding expensive visits from the home warranty electricians my insurer wants to send out.

He is courteous, kind, and always willing to help his customers!

STAY AWAY!!!  The saying birds of a fleather flock together has been verified after my experience with my kitchen contractor recommending Tony from Brite Electric.  They both did a number on me.  

My kitchen cabinet installer, who butchered my cabinets and admitted he had no idea how to do Ikea cabinets after having said he just did an Ikea kitchen the week before, recommened Tony to do the electrical for the kitchen as I needed new outlets and wiring.  At that point  I didn't know the kitchen guy was a hack, and I was on a tight timeline so I went with Tony even though his price was high.  He comes across as being very sharp and personable.  I suppose those are the ones you have to be careful of.

Tony charged me $1500 to wire up most of the kitchen.  The job took his employee James about 4-5 hours as most of the walls were open so he could do things pretty easily.  Here are the issues that arose:

1) They used 8 gauge wire for a 50 amp cooktop.  Per CA code a 50 amp appliance requires 6 gauge wire.  This is a big no-no.  It really is pathetic as the thicker gauge would have cost maybe $30 more.

2) They used a 8 gauge 2 conductor wire for the oven, when it requires a 8 gauge 3 conductor wire.  Per CA code if you had existing 8-2 wire you could reuse it, but it is much safer to use 8-3 and it is a code requirement when wiring new.  Again, they cheaped out.  This would have cost maybe $15 more.  They probably just didn't have any with them and figured I would never know.

3) They used a 50 amp breaker on a 30 amp appliance (over).  This defeats the whole point of having a breaker and is a serious problem.

4) They left a mess everywhere.  When they drilled through joists they didn't bother to vacumn anything up.  They even left their Jambu Juice cup from lunch.

5) They did not patch or cover any of the drywall holes they made.  This is unacceptable for the amount I paid and they never told me otherwise.  I then had to pay the kitchen contractor $150 to patch some drywall holes.  I think it was a total scam between them.

6) Most of the outlets were not lined up and visually off.  I had to pay somebody else to move them later.

7) The price!  I paid what amounted to probably $300/hr.   What is worse his original quote was $2100.  I'm such an idiot.

Here is where it gets fun.  After I discovered that his job was totally subpar I called to figure out a resolution.  At first he totally rebuffed me and said everythign he did was to code and he works on million dollar homes as does the same thing (this means this was not a one-off but he does illegal work regularly).  After I very specifically pointed things out he offered to send me a small amount of money.  I then told him there were more issues than I even previously knew about and the amount he was offereing was inssuficient.  At that point he stopped responding to me.  

BBB, contractor's board, and small claims court here I come!  If anbody has any questions about this review feel free to contact me.

In the past,  I have not had great luck with electricians.   Recently, Jason from Service Rite came to our place and installed LED lighting under my kitchen cabinets and replaced some switches.   He installed two Panasonic Whisper fans in my bathroom with new switches.    He was professional, courteous, punctual and did a great job.   I highly recommend him and this company.

I called Lucian because I needed an outdoor outlet fixed on a weekend.  He came replaced it quickly.  Definitely call Laguna Electric if you need an electrician.

RK Electric was the bomb! Dave called me a couple of days after he was referred to me by my landscape contractor and showed  up on time to give me a quote. He turned what seemed to be a complicated situation of getting electrical to my new Spa and adding plugs to my backyard into a simple solution. when I came home the work was done and he called me later that night to see how I would like to pay and voila  - project completed. He was courteous and thorough...I highly recommend!

I've been scammed, ripped off, and the quality of work was shockingly bad. It pains me to have hired Anthem and Gunner to do work for me. He took all of the money with the promise to return to correct and complete the work the following week for what he was hired to do, but never returned, didn't return the money, and left me with 20% of the work done. My walls were left damaged and he left a huge mess behind that took me an hour to scrub clean. He agreed to a list of things to do for me for $500. He tried to save time by hanging heavy metal frames with a single ancho/ bolt by the frame and didn't utilized the d-rings designed to secure the frame well, leaving them dangerously insecure on a stairwell. He placed tape under the frame to claim this made it secure. It didn't. They fell and created more than 3 large and deep holes in my walls and chipped my baseboards. The frames are now broken, too. that's another $150. Thankfully, it didn't harm me or my son. He created significant damage to my walls in 10 places with large anchor holes that will need to be dug out and professionally repaired and marks all over them from the initial hanging, not including the damage created when they fell. (My walls were just professionally painted 1 week before his arrival). I am a single Mom with a 1 year old son. He left me with a repair job that will cost me well over 1K to repair and 80% of the work incomplete that he was paid for. I gave him money in good faith that he was going to return to fix the damage and hang them properly and did so partly because he /and his company were recommended by a close friend. We even had a day scheduled the following week, but he refused to come back after the fact to fix his unsafe and improper hangings, repair the damaged wall, and complete the work list, but he took the money and ran. He tried to do the job quickly for a payday with no conscience in delivering quality work. Unethical and unprofessional! Do not hire this company!!

Saeid was an absolute pleasure to work with. Super responsive and was able to complete the project in  under 2 days following the initial inspection of work to be completed. Very fair and honest prices. Would definitely consider him again for future electrical work!

I strongly recommend Tapia Electric! They are a wonderful family owned business! Their response time was super fast. They came out to inspect the job first. Then even found a better way to set up a new breaker for us that was clean and much less visible than what previous electricians had quoted. Jorge truly is an expert! So glad to have found a reliable, friendly, knowledgeable electrician!!

I sought out several Electrician estimates for some fixture installs, outlet replacements, and a range hood install.  Of course the prices and ability to do the work was all over the place.  During the estimate and clarification process, William always responded quickly and was thorough in his explanation.

While he was not the cheapest or most expensive for this job, I appreciated his timely responses.

His team showed up on time, and covered all the impacted areas.  They left the property like they found it, as though they were not there, and everything was done in a very timely manner.

There were a couple of issues, one was my own, but they quickly responded and resolved them.

If you need any electrical work to be done, give William a call.

Knowledgeable, professional, efficient, local... What more can you ask for? I spent some frustrating weeks trying to get quotes for my slightly unique project to no avail until I called Dr Electric. The project was 1/2 way to completion within 8 hours of contacting them. They were easy to contact and responsive to my questions. They went above and beyond in their work. Next time I need an electrician I will call them first.

Jeff was AMAZING! I cannot recommend him enough. We were having new patio doors installed, only to find out during the process that the flippers that flipped our house did some really shoddy wiring. I called him and asked if he could come and look at it so we could problem solve while the installers were at the house. Not only did he stop on his way home an hour later but he STAYED and worked with the install crew to get it fixed right then and there. I will recommend him to anyone!

Great service for a fair price.  Excellent customer service.  The person I spoke to on the phone was so polite and  helpful.  They were able to accommodate me quickly (on a Saturday) and gave me a fair estimate.  The electrician that showed up was on time, knowledgeable, polite and did very tidy work.  I would highly recommend CET Electric.

Sometimes you get lucky. There aren't huge numbers of reviews but I took a chance and called to compare his estimate for my described work and while the rates are comparable to other electricians, I liked Stuart's forthright answers. We calendared a time and date for an appointment. He asked for pictures of some fixtures and switches so good indicators too.  He was prompt, did great work and listened when we walked through the house. His questions helped me make good decisions when there were options.  His company is a hidden gem in Coronado where most of his work occurs but it is worth getting him to cross that bridge.

Ms Sparky ROCKS! She is downright awesome, excellent service, prompt and is definitely the right person for the job! I have no problem using her on my projects and referring her is an easy one! AND she's fully licensed, completes the work at the price quoted and is definitely my 'go to' person for everything electric!

Stay away from this guy. Don't waist your time. Horrible experience. The owner Enesto needs a lesson in customer service.
