Best Businesses in San Diego, CA

This guy and his small company are the real deal!  Not only was he on time or early every time he had to come to our house to meet with an inspector but he was given only four hours to complete a project that should have taken all day (the SDGE inspector told him that morning that he'd be there by 11am!).  David and his crew rushed to get it done but was thorough enough to complete it so well that the inspector was impressed, using words like, awesome, great job etc.  David even had to crawl under our house in a very small tight (spider-laden) space to run a grounding wire to the front of the house.  He upgraded our old (1923) house from 100amps to 200amps and didn't even charge us that much.  Thank you David and crew for an amazing job!

Ramon was quick to respond and provide a fixed and reasonable quote. He fixed my electrical issue the next day after initial contact, was friendly, wore shoe covers to protect my floors, and even explained what went wrong and what he did to fix it. Thanks Ramon!

I've had two EVs for almost 10 years and recently bought a third one.

I was reading an article that many NEMA 14-50 plug installs are not adequate for the continuous nightly draw we EV owners place on them and called Edward.
Edward knew exactly what I was talking about and my concerns since his primary Business is EV charging installation.

He was very accommodating, making time in his schedule to come out and look at my previous installation.
He was reasonable, noting that one of my plugs was installed well, and we just replaced the actual socket for a better one at a nominal fee.

As for my second NEMA 14-50 socket, I was shocked to find that indeed it had started  to melt and needed to be replaced.
We decided to place a dedicated charger for my second vehicle, and I found his pricing very reasonable.

I would highly recommend that everyone who has an electric vehicle, makes sure that their install was done properly and not with inexpensive parts meant to be used an hour or two a week. EVs put a huge work load on the wiring and sockets and a bad install is highly likely to fail from heat and arcing leading to
a risk of fire.

If you think of all the money you pay for house insurance, calling Edward out is a small amount of money for peace of mind.

Originally, Luis was supposed to come and provide a more accurate estimate of my job. Instead, he sent Jose who relied on me to tell him the estimate quoted by Luis. Jose did everything right, no complaints of his work, but I believe my simple outlet installation that took about a half hour to complete was overcharged based on Luis' estimate. Jose should have been able to give a more accurate estimate. Instead, he was here to do the work, not give an estimate.

These guys did an awesome job! They were so polite and efficient! Very honest and showed me everything that needed to be fixed and why! I highly recommend this company!

Ok, so I needed a connection to my house for a generator I bought just in case of a power grid failure.  Two other electricians were unable to do the job.  Then I found Ochoa Electric.  Eddy Ochoa came to the house and told me exactly what was needed.  He returned with his crew and did a beautiful job, carefully explaining to me what needs to be done before connecting the generator to the house.  I was particularly impressed with the care given to do the job right.  I highly recommend Ochoa Electric.

We needed an electrician to install our Ring Doorbell and Camera Floodlights. I had reached out to 3 or 4 electricians based on reviews in our neighborhood NextDoor app. My first appointment showed up, we walked the property, and they indicated they would email an estimate. I had two other electricians come out for quotes. The latter two never sent their quote. The first electrician sent a quote and then vanished. Several months later I found Horton Electric on Yelp. Tom, the owner, offered excellent advice about the install and provided his quote promptly. He also had installed Ring equipment prior to our visit. Tom installed our Ring equipment impeccably. We could not be happier. He is competitive, highly-skilled, an excellent communicator, responsible, professional, and delivers high-quality work. He is now our go-to electrician.

Made an appointment for electrical work, no call no show for technician and zero follow up by management. If this company can't even follow thru with a simple appointment or follow up I got news for you, they'll fuck everything else up. Thanks.

Electrician came out the next day to help us with an electrical issue and knew exactly what he was doing. We will call them again.

Thank you so much Craig for coming on short notice to replace my ceiling fan... and making it to code fixing what the handyman installed previously.  I appreciate that you made a point to explain that it's important to install the ceiling fan and installed it professionally.

Call Core Electric if you are looking for great work, honest guys and fair professional rates...the job will be done correctly...

I really appreciate all the help and referrals to other professional in the construction industry to help with my other repairs...You are a find!!!!

We were in a pinch and I saw a recommendation for Jimmy on NextDoor, so I called.  Fortunately he was free the next morning and he went to work trying to figure out our lack of power on one wall problem.  He was able to find the source of the problem and fix it for a reasonable price- we were very happy with his work and hope to hire him for some future projects.  Even my uber-picky husband was impressed.  Excellent customer service skills too!

They came out quickly and solved my problem which turned out to be loose fuses, after a tightening my problem is solved. The service technician was there for 45 minutes and I got a bill for $160. I think that's outrageous, I looked up average wages of electricians and it says between 27 and $28 per hour for our area. And it's not like he had to drive far as I live right down the street from him. Happy with service, unhappy with price!

Doug did a great job! He responded to my request for a quote right away, he showed up on time, and did an excelent job. He was polite, professional, knowledgable, and fast. I will definitely keep his number for future jobs and will not hesitate to refer friends and family.

Recently had Ideal out to do our yearly service on ouor A/C unit.  The news is that they have kept it running for several years, but it was time to put the old one out of it's pain.  
The Ideal team gave us an estimate on replacement, and gave us the documentation about how much it might save us each month.  The installation went terrific.  The workers, the workmanship, the follow up and training and the confidence we got from our install was all top notch.  
With the new systems our utility bills are over 20% lower, and with the rebates that they found for us, our system will pay for iteself in under a year.  
I will say I beleive that Ideal is the best in San Diego.  Don't waste you time looking around.  Go with the Ideal solution.

Aptly named, they are simply brilliant! Last week I had Alfredo and his crew to my home for the third time. On each occasion it's been for something trickier and more delicate than the last time--knocking through plaster walls without leaving a trace, cutting into expensive hardwood paneling without a splinter, putting lights where no one ever thought to do so, etc. This time they electrified a new built-in bookcase with strip LED lights above the shelves and discreet spotlights to show off the painting I can't yet afford to buy but will one day! The company's work is meticulous and reasonably priced. I recommend them with enthusiasm.

We had a complicated job, trying to update the electric in a house from the 50's. David, the owner, came to the house and walked through with us, making suggestions, recommendations, and pointing out absolute need to items. He worked with our time  and budget constraints. The electrician who did the work was efficient, responsible (he came when he said he would, and kept us informed about what would be accomplished each day), neat, and precise.

We would definitely use this company again. All of our expectations were met or exceeded (and I know this has become a cliche, but in this case it is really true).
