Best Businesses in California

Highly recommend Hit the Lights Electricians!  Had a collection of minor electrical repair needs -- called them this morning (following recommendations on here) the scheduled a time -- and kept me up to date through the day of when they would arrive.  Repaired the requested items and another that was pointed out.  Charged just the time worked and the minor parts.  Awesome service and very reasonable.

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!

A little hard to reach for initial contact, but once contact was made, they provided exceptional service!  Hired to install electrical for a Tesla, we talked about options on the phone, made an appointment to view the home the next day, then install the next week.  I provided input/feedback on what I wanted and they not only listened, but went out of their way to incorporate some of recommendations they could.  The electrician was on time, did an excellent job, and made sure he cleaned up afterwards.  For the work they did, the price was reasonable too.  I would highly recommend them!

Nick did an excellent job on our electrical today. We called this morning and this afternoon all of our electrical issues have been resolved. Nick did a very professional job. Price was very fair. I would recommend this company to anyone in need of electrical work.

Rudy returned my call quickly explained he was out of town and Kyle is covering for him.  Kyle made contact and we sent him drawings and intel by email which he confirmed and setup preliminary time to meet.  0900 July 11 Kyle called to get address and said he would  be here at 1000 or shortly after to inspect our job.  At 1100 Kyle was still not here.  I tried calling, left message..  At noon i had to go to work.  Sent Text, sent email, not a single reply. These are the facts and not opinions.   July 13 update.  I called Kyle from a different number he stated  sorry i am a busy guy

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.

Lucian is fantastic! He listened to our problem over the phone, was able to schedule us within a few days, and fixed the problem within minutes! Fast, courteous, and very knowledgeable. Awesome.

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 called Anthem handyman services when a plumber gave me an outrageous quote to replace my pressure regulator. Gunner from Anthem did it for a fraction of the cost and he picked up all the materials. Super professional and honest!

He did a great job running the electrical for our new mini split heat pump system. Had it done in less than half a day

I found Jorge and his son Danny on yelp after the last electrician didn't want to hang up my chandelier. Jorge was quick to respond and came the same day to install our brand new chandelier from our 18 foot ceiling. Not only we're they fast, but reliable and courteous. I will definitely use Tapia Electric again.

Extremely pleased.  Professional, friendly and even found a way to save me a lot of money.
Highly recommended!

Fantastic electrician. Very hard worker, clean and reasonable. I highly recommend Dr Electric.
We had a difficult problem and they worked until it was solved.

Jeff came in on Halloween day as Superman.( well, not literally) While 2 previous electricians totally created a mess without solving my electrical problems,Jeff was able to problem solve and complete everything to a successful outcome. There is no one more knowledgeable and honest.

They showed up on time, knew what they were doing, and got the job done. Their quote was accurate, and Karina the office manager was helpful, informative, and professional.

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!

Ms.Sparky has been our electrician since June 2018. She is professional and quick to respond by text. We love that she is so dependable. She came out to check on our NEMA outlet after a very large power surge damaged the breaker. She stood by her work and made sure we were taken care of. Terrific customer service and communication. Thank you Ms.Sparky.

worse service I have gotten! they are associated with my home owners insurance. they took my central vacuum to fix and haven't returned it and it's been over 2 months.. I can't even get a hold of anyone
