Best Businesses in California

Reason for hiring: my nest thermostat wasn't powering up.

Reason for being upset:  Isaac took on a job that he did not have experience with (hvac system).

Outcome:  I paid $150 for an unresolved problem!

Solution:  walk away from jobs if you don't have the experience..it doesn't waste your time and the clients money!

We've had Tim do two small jobs at our house. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and very resonably priced. Why only three stars then? He was a no show, no call at our most recent appointment. To bad really, his work is good.

I recently installed the tesla charger at my house, the installation process went really smooth, and customer support is really helpful on my questions about the permit, and the inspection went smooth as well

Nick is a nice guy. He came to my house today and solved the circuit problem. Hope everything works well and don't need to call the service again.

Could not have been happier with Rudy. Great quick service. Reasonably priced. An a great guy. Thanks Rudy!

I just got an electric vehicle and contacted different electrician companies to get a price quote on the installation. I ended up going to Tony - and I have absolutely no regrets! He was fast, efficient and knew what he was doing; my charger was installed in about half an hour and everything is in tip top shape.

Will definitely call Tony for any electrical work I need.

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 had some urgent work required for my insurance.  Lucian responded immediately and after assessing the issues responded with a capable team that completed the work quickly and efficiently.  I was given a fair and accurate estimate of the cost.  The city inspection confirmed the quality of work. Laguna Electric will be our choice for all electrical work in the future.

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

My wife and I were in the middle of a remodel and had bee using another handyman service. The job turned out to be too much for one crew and I called Gunner to help finish up the project. I started to give him  more work when I saw the quality of his work  and professionalism . Very good all around knowledge. We contracted Gunner for some electrical work and ended up having hime finish our garage with drywall, texture and paint. Will be using Anthem again soon on another project. Have already recommended him to my neighbors.

Saeid is thoroughly professional, very knowledgeable and very easy to work with. I've used SZ Electric twice and was very pleased with the work both times. I will gladly have him come out to do any electrical work needed at my home.

We set up tapia electric through Yelp. They were referred by a friend to install our Tesla charging plug. All was set for them to arrive. They were given our address and phone number. 8am came around and no one showed or called. My husband went into Yelp to grab their phone number to call them and there was a message asking for our address again. And because we didn't respond to them right away the electrician said he was moving on to his next appointment!
We contacted them to let them know that they had the address. Also my husband confirmed the night before about the time and the response from Maribel was see you at 8 no one asking for our address. My husband took the day off from work to be here for these people and they lack any courtesy or customer service.
Just an update - owner sent me a private message name calling and saying no address was ever given. Slightly threatening also. I requested from Maribel not to contact me again. Very professional....

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

This place is awesome for your electrical needs. I was referred by my daughter who said they were up there in terms of effectiveness. Well she was right. They were responsive, prompt and did the job. BTW the price was right!!

Jeff is a very hardworking and knowledgeable business owner. He really helped me out on a project in my backyard and gave me the guidance I needed to resolve the issue I was having with the power to my hot tub. I highly recommend working with Parkllan!

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.

I called Mary when visiting my parents and a circuit was acting up.  She came when she said she would, and suggested a possible fix at 10% the cost of the panel replacement a previous electrician said was probably needed.  She ordered the parts, returned on time, and made the fix  at the promised price.  She got the job done well and was great with my mom and dad.  When Mom and Dad are happy, then I'm happy.

So, to give everyone an update regarding the most UNPROFESSIONAL Effective Electric business and its owner Ernesto in getting a job done that was requested on December 15, 2015, I contacted another electrical company. The agent/electrician showed up on time as promised, evaluated the problem and promised to come back in an hour. The electrician called me exactly in an hour and stated that he has found an appliance that will take the place of the old broken one. IT TOOK THIS GUY AN HOUR TO FIND A NEW PART and Fixed the electrical problem that we have on the same day versus Effective Electric/Ernesto that took 3 months and no result.  Effective Electric and Ernesto the owner - made us wait for 4-5 hours and DO NOT SHOW UP/NOT EVEN A PHONE CALL - on 4 Different occasions/Appointments. Effective Electric or Ernesto keeps on saying that he cannot find the parts/unit for our exhaust fan for 3 months. NO call from Ernesto as to whether he will show up and finish the job. Beware also of American Home Shield Warranty Home Insurance - Ernesto and AHS are in cahoots.  DO NOT HIRE EFFECTIVE ELECTRIC.
