Best Electricians in San Diego, CA

Thank you for turning the power on and getting the well water flowing! We can flush the toilets now!

I found Greg on Thumbtack and scheduled him to come install a ceiling fan for me in an upstairs bedroom.  Unfortunately, when scheduling him I didn't even consider that the radiant heating coils in the ceiling might be an issue - didn't even cross my mind as I was communicating about the work I needed done.  When he got started, he discovered the heating elements and explained that installing the fan could damage them and that he didn't want to risk that unless I didn't plan on using the heating anymore.  Since I do like having heat in my home, I decided no to proceed.

Greg was super nice, very communicative, very professional, and very forthright about his concerns re the heating elements.  And he didn't charge me for his time to come out and get started.  I will definitely have need for electrician services in the future and will definitely be calling Greg when I need them.

We had several electrical issues that needed to be addressed in our 1930 home. David was always professional, responsive and honest. We will definitely call him in the future.

Had an issue with an exterior garage outlet that stopped working suddenly. Sent multiple requests out to Electricians for quotes. Most were overpriced and honestly gouging customers. Ramon responded quickly that he couldn't get out for over a week but offered some advise of potential easy DIY problems. After a few minutes troubleshooting he helped resolve the GFCI issue and probably saved my family $300+ dollars for a none issue. Highly advise anyone who is ethical enough to help people whether or not the get the business.

I recently had my existing EV charger removed and replaced with a newer machine. My previous installation which required a receptacle showed considerable wear and tear and needed an upgrade. Edward diagnose the issue as a loose connection but more importantly pointed out that through no fault of the previous installer, EV chargers are best with their hardwired due to the heavy usage with expansion from heat/cooling through the connection. Throughout the installation, Edward was very thorough, provided detail and walk me through the entire installation. The work was and results are super, check out my pictures of the existing receptacle in my newly installed EV charger; highly recommended!

Overall very satisfied with service and cost. Installed new doorbell wiring and ring, and two outdoor outlets. Luis and Jose were helpful and prompt in setting up and completing service.

First off I would like to say a huge thank you to Ron and Hunter for being complete gentleman and knowing their stuff. I initially spoke to the owner of the company, Linden, and I was happy to get a quick appointment for them to come out to my house. I had several projects that I knew could not be completed without a professional. I had a burnt out lights in the kitchen and garage and also needed a light source deadened and capped on a now removed carport. Ron and Hunter came out on a Monday and looked over the projects that needed to be done and gave me fair estimate. The light in the garage was a fluorescent one and they needed to replace it with an LED and they were going to install a security light where we were originally going to cap off the initial source. They started working in the kitchen and we hit a major snafu within the first 10 minutes. The people who originally installed the canned lighting in the kitchen, did not actually do canned lighting. They had installed a socket to a piece of metal and then screwed it to the support beam. It was the same for both the lights so Ron offered me a deal for rewire and new lights, he said that he would have to come back tomorrow because there was nothing they could do today without the proper equipment. They came out the next day ready to work. We hit more snags with my electrical box as the people who removed the carport blew the breaker, which lead into a discussion about replacing all the top breakers of the box because it looks really shoddy. Ron gave me a great deal and we continued on with all the projects. Everything that they installed looks amazing. I am so very happy with the work that they did and I recommend them to anyone that needs any electrical work done.

The best electrician in all of South Bay. Eddie is thorough and his troubleshooting is on point. He found three different issues around our house and fixed them promptly and proper.  Prices are fair and work is impeccable. I will recommend him to everyone I know.

Tom did a great job replacing my 40 year old electrical panel. He gave a competitive quote online and stuck with it through installation. He worked well with the city while getting the permit and worked well through a few unseen issues and got the job done on time and on budget. Will use him again for future needs.

Scotty was incredibly kind, responsive, professional and was able to get the job done with quality. I had gotten a quote from another company here in San Diego but they could not compare to customer service CLD had provided. I would most definitely use them again and recommend them to everyone!

Jeff was extremely professional during his first visit with us.  He troubleshot our outlet and assessed/confirmed that our electrical panel was working normally.  Will definitely use him again and highly recommend someone who knows his stuff and has reasonable fees.

Was having problems with lights and outlets going on and off sporadically .
We were concerned that it might be a fire hazard .
We had an electrician friend look at the panel and he said we would probably have to replace the entire breaker box with Main Meter .
That sounded very expensive .
We called Core Electric and they were able to repair the panel without replacing it .
They saved us thousands of dollars and even gave us a great warranty on the repairs !
We will definitely be recommending Core Electric to our friends .

Fast, reliable service. They respond quickly and are a pleasure to work with. Great company, highly recommended.

I can highly recommend Mark Snyder Electric. The service we received was truly excellent. The technician was on time and super knowledgeable. We will be using them again.

Called and made an appointment with Doug, the owner. He ghosted me and never responded to my calls or messages at the scheduled date and time. I had to take off time from my busy day and work schedule only to find out he flaked. if time is important to you, he wont value it.

UPDATE:  Doug ended up reaching out to apologize for the mix-up and promptly asked to come take care of me.  Between him and his wife, they handled and managed this situation very professionally and the work Doug did was awesome. I would hire them again!

Thank you Sabrina & Doug for taking care of me!

Sadly, when it came to replacing a water heater Ideal was not very competitive. They charged $120 to show up, but they added $30 more to tell me the leaking water heater needed to be replaced.  Really, 120 wasn't enough we needed 30 more to provide that insight?  Then the kicker was the quote on a replacement as it was hundreds more than a leading competitor.  It was actually cheaper (by a lot) to have the other company come out, pay an additional service charge, and have them do the install.  I really wanted to give Ideal a chance as they are local and appear to do good things in the community, but a water heater isn't a fashion accessory folks might overpay for and ultimately price wins.
