Best Electricians in San Diego, CA

I own a small business and was referred to Volt by a friend after receiving several outrageous price quotes for installing two electrical components to hang pendant light fixtures. I was quoted a very reasonable price and was super impressed with the level of customer service from beginning to end!  They did a wonderful job and will definitely work with them in the near future!  Thank you Volt!!

I contacted Albers on the recommendation of a relative.  Nate responded on short notice, at the time he stated.   He installed lights as well as new electrical outlets, both inside and outside.  He was clean, fast, professional and very reasonably priced.  I won't hesitate to call him again.  In fact, I've already started my wish list for electrical upgrades to my old house.  Highly recommend!

I hired Bill for a small job of replacing an exhaust fan in a bathroom.  He arrived on time, charged a very reasonable rate, and he stuck to the quoted rate even though he later found that the exact motor I needed wasn't available.  

He retro-fitted a different motor into the fan housing which took quite a bit of time, and could have hardly been worth his time considering the low rate that he charged me, yet he did not utter a word about it and did it with a cheerful attitude.  Will definitely use him again and I hope I can award him a bigger job next time.

Disappointed in the customer service and pricing this company provides.  Got an estimate from the owner, Mike, for changing out outlets and light switches (from Decora to toggle and replacing some with timers and dimmers - about 60 total give or take).  Original estimate came in at $1120.  Ended up agreeing to $970 estimate based off of the expert owner's estimate of work.   After the two employees completed their work which was two guys 3 hours each or 6 work hours for both (breakdown is pricing from the company: $125 first hour, $95 for next two hours total of $315 each), so the total without tax was $630 which ends up being $340 less than $970 (agreed estimate) and $490 from the original estimate of $1120.  Mike contends that they are experts in their field, which I guess is supposed to be the reason for the overpricing.  I take issue with owner Mike's overestimate of the time it was going to take them - I am a layperson not knowing how long experts take to change out the outlets and switches which is a basic task so I of course had to go off what he said the job would take.  If the job was a complicated or involved project, I might not have an issue with what they overcharged.  The employees finished up an hour and a half early or three hours for both of them.  They probably ran off to another job and are getting double pay for the hour and a half they left me early, although I don't know if this is the case.  I addressed my concerns with Mike directly and got nowhere, no offer to split the difference to make the customer happy and to be fair, nothing other than a question from him whether their work was okay.  I did not have issue with the work, other than the clean up vacuuming needed to be better (drywall left in my carpet and on the tile floor and I had to have the guys redo work because one new switch in the closet didn't turn on the light which they did not notice) and I had to clean up black fingerprints from the light plates and outlets.  Very disappointed in the lack of customer service, especially at this time when all of us are hurting financially. Guess Raceway Electric won't be hurting with the extra $340 they got from me.  Would not recommend this company unless you like supplementing Raceway's bottom line for nothing in return.

Used them to install plug for EV charging station.

Quick response.  Prompt.  Quick work.  Got the permit paperwork for us.  Passed on first try.  Highly recommended.

We were having trouble without electricity in our house all while the crazy pandemic is going on. A friend recommended Joe B. Electric to us. He was helpful and friendly! He even came back to help us put an additional part in that we needed to order. Great service!

RJ was prompt & professional, he took care of several issues in a matter of minutes for a reasonable price. Thanks again.

Conveniently located in our neighborhood - he was on time and worked fast yet was very personable and knowledgeable. We will defnitely be using his services whenever we need an electrician!

We just had a great experience with Cayler and Sean installing our new Quiet Cool system. They arrived on time, asked us questions to make certain we knew where we wanted the ceiling vent and thermostat controls and kept their work area clean.

Good News Electric did a great job with wiring and installing a ceiling fan.  They were on time  and very courteous.  I would definitely recommend them.

Set up an appointment for an estimate with Isaac over a week ago. The morning of the appointment he sent me a message for my address again. I gave it to him and he confirmed our 4:30 appointment. By 5 I called him and he was too busy with his job he was on to come out to me. If you can't  hold your commitments to future customers, I don't think you will be in business very long.

Tim with Electric 24 was awesome.  I am really impressed with the work he did of installing recessed lighting and adding additional light switches and a dimmer.  He was great to work with and always explained things in detail for me.  I saved considerable amounts of money using Electric 24.  I will be using them again very soon and will be referring family and friends to them as well.  Great Job!!!!!

Never got back to my online quote request. Maybe they're too busy. Wasted my time filling out the request and taking pictures and waiting for a response. If they won't answer they shouldn't make the option available.

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.

Deborah and Kevin Fleming

Terrible experience. Rudy did not show up twice for work times he scheduled.  When I texted him after he missed the first appointment, he said he got sidetracked and asked if we could do another day.  On the next scheduled day when he did not show up I texted again.  Rudy said he overslept and asked to schedule for the next day.  Rudy did not appear to understand that he caused us a lot of inconvenience and wasted time. He also left us with an nonfunctional oven.

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've never bothered to write a review. Until now. Lucian's work ethic, evidenced by prompt returns of phone calls, punctuality, and insistence on obsessively cleaning the work site, warrants more than five stars. He efficiently installed three ceiling fans and quickly repaired three problem areas with outdoor lighting. All at very reasonable rates. Cannot say enough about him and his crew. Great work and fair prices.

David responded to my Yelp request within an hour, and managed to get someone out to us the first thing the very next morning for a small job (fixing a light socket).  The repair men arrived on time, were polite, worked quickly, and explained the problem and what they were doing to fix it.  I'd definitely go back to RK Electric for any future work we may have.

Gunner is reasonable, responsive, and informative.  Super happy with my experience with him, and will ask for his help again soon!
