Fantastic team! They provided quick and clean work. Glad to have found an electrician that is local and reasonably priced. Will definitely be using them for future work.

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!

Jeff is very professional. He is quick to respond and gets the job done. Kwan is also very kind and meticulous. He didn't even ring the doors because he didn't want to accidentally wake up my children. He installed the charger and made  the area look better. I would highly recommend this company.

The whole team at Service Calls Electric is the most customer service minded contractors I've ever felt with. Worked with speed and accuracy,answered questions and offered all options available to complete my job. Will definitely use again and recommend to all in need of a good electrician.

Rudy is outstanding! He absolutely deserves a 5 star rating! We contacted him based on his Yelp reviews to perform an electrical inspection, update outlets, add lighting and do a TV installation in an older home we purchased in SB. He nailed it! He's incredibly knowledgeable, communicative, thorough, direct and honest. We will definitely work with him again and refer him to anyone who will listen. He's one of a kind. Thank you, Rudy!

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 spoke with Laguna electric on Monday and spoke to Lucian. After explaining what we needed done in our house we set up and appointment for a few days later at 8:30 AM. At 9 AM on the date of the appointment I left a text message for Laguna electric to see where they were. I received a text message back stating that they were waiting for me to call or text my confirmation for the appointment. And they went on to state that they could come by at 10:30 to do the work. I then called the phone number on their business page and someone answered and immediately hung up on me. I then tried to call back and got an answering machine which I left a message.

Laguna electrics time is no more important then the customers so I will not be calling this company ever again

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

Gunner came out on time and took care of the minor plumbing problems we had. His pricing was very reasonable and I will not hesitate to call him again if needed. Definitely recommend.

We needed an electrician ASAP to determine whether the wires found on our roof could be covered up by the roofers. They squeezed me into their schedule and solved the mystery. I was very happy they didn't gouge me with their pricing. I have since hired them again to install other items.

These guys are amazing! They've come out to help us twice within a week in a few electrical problems we needed fixed. They came next day, were fast, reasonable and so nice to work with. So happy with their work and to have a some trustworthy electricians to work with in the future!

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

Very honest, friendly and professional.
Overall first class service. They really know what they are doing and do not waste time doing it.

good job!

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!

CET is great to work with. They responded my request quickly and their price is reasonable. Their electrician did trouble shooting the problem and performed honest work. We are very happy with their work and will use them again for sure.

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 is absolutely awesome!  She is very responsive, friendly, and knowledgeable.  We used her for an electrical job on our deck and did a great job!  We will use her again.

I had an appointment for the technician to come to my house and fix an electrical problem. He never showed up, would not answer telephone calls and did not return my calls. I never heard from them again!
