Best Businesses in San Diego, CA

These guys do great work but the customer service is even better.  I asked them to install a NEMA 14-50 outlet for my new Tesla Model X.  To make a long story short, there was a mix up on the day my outlet was to be installed.  I thought it was Thursday, they thought it was Friday.  I took the morning off and called their office when no one showed up on Thursday.  Their CEO, Dave Smith, personally dealt with my situation.  He pulled someone in my area off another job to come to my house on Thursday to make up for the confusion.  It's not a very common thing for a CEO to take responsibility for an individual customer's situation and, as a CEO, I really appreciate it.

As for all the other stuff, the work was perfect, the price reasonable, and the workers professional and friendly.  Can't ask for much more.  If you want great work and excellent customer service, Smith Electrical is for you.

Found Richard in Yelp and he lived up to his reputation. Installed two bedroom ceiling fans with no fuss or mess and for a reasonable price. He then did troubleshooting on a light switch and associated socket that have never worked since we bought the house 20 years ago. Switched a couple of wires and it works! Was reluctant to accept payment and I had to insist - quite the opposite of most transactions! Will definitely use him again

I am always a big fan of supporting local businesses and I am glad I chose this company for my solar system. Great crew. Very professional and detail oriented. A team that values craftsmanship. Highly recommend this company to anyone considering solar energy.

We recently purchased an home that had aluminum wiring and other electrical problems. We needed our outlets replaced and upgraded. Justin and his crew came in and replaced the outlets, address recessed lighting , rewire lines due to wall demolition, and several other items. They were professional, honest, and we trusted them 100%. Justin was genuine and very prompt and to the point. Fabulous work. Trusting your electrician is key.

Victor is so nice! I requested a quote from him. I sent him the photo and described the issue I encountered. He messaged me back quickly and taught me how to fix it. I followed his instruction and fixed it!

Zero stars if I could rate the service my mother received from Checo electric in early December 2022. The electricity in her house went out on a circuit we were unable to locate. I decided to let my mom reach out to this company to see if they could help determine what the problem was due to the 5 star reviews they have online. Two technicians (including the owner) came to the property to try and troubleshoot the problem. They both could not determine the cause. The owner charged her $180.00 to come and did nothing. He stated they work on an hourly basis. The circuit is still not working to this day. In my opinion, no reliable or ethical electrician would take pay for not finding the problem or doing absolutely nothing. The owner even had the nerve to call back and ask my mom if she still needed assistance-- absolutely ridiculous and dishonest company.

1/21023- The issue was resolved with another neighboring company. The issue was not what Checo informed my mother, unfortunately. All the plumbing and electrical work in the home has been completed by licensed contractors. I honestly feel the diagnosis we received was a cop out. As the owner stated below, they were here for 2 hours and probably couldn't find the root of the issue, therefore we were told it was past handyman work-- which is an assumption not fact. It was promptly fixed to our satisfaction by Ochoa Electric. After reviewing Checo's customer reviews, I have come to the conclusion they are able to handle simple projects-- installations. If you are experiencing a severe electrical problem that requires troubleshooting, I would highly suggest going to another company like my family and I did and save your money to put towards the repair.

Wow!! I have found my electrician for life! Sasha was absolutely amazing and I would highly recommend him to anyone. He was very responsive, came out the same day for an estimate, and completed the job the following day.  I originally thought I would need a panel upgrade to be able to run a 30amp circuit out to my RV. After his professional assessment, he informed me that wasn't necessary and he could run the circuit with my current panel capacity. That saved me thousands of dollars!  His work is remarkable and very clean. The conduit he ran outside from my attic to the outlet box looks absolutely amazing. Again, I would highly recommend Illuminating Electric to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, reasonable, and honest electrician. Thanks so much, Sasha!

The owner called back saying his rate is $150/hour during normal business hours, it's $300 to fix a light switch that wouldn't turn off the bathroom light.. then he hung up on me while I wanted to understand why he knew it would take 2 hours... really weird.

We had a circuit in our home stop working and had a few other electricians try to troubleshoot and fix it. The first could not find the problem and the second (a much larger Co.) could not either, but recommended over $7k in new wiring and upgrades. The technician from TruBlue, James, was able to find the problem and fix it in under 2 hours at a fraction of the cost. TruBlue came out on a weekend, within a couple days of contacting them and kept in touch by text and email. The tech was on time, professional and pleasant.
I would highly recommend TruBlue to anyone needing their services. Very impressed by their organization and professionalism.

Responded quickly to my phone call. Came out and kindly educated me on what the issue was and had it fixed in no time. I will keep the number handy for any future needs. Thank you!

I had a problem restoring power to 3 rooms after the main breaker tripped during some remodeling.  Keith came out that afternoon to troubleshoot and immediately found a dirty breaker which wasn't switching properly.  He fixed the problem (at no charge).  I asked about a few other electrical issues with GFCI outlets and he quoted a very reasonable price to run new dedicated lines for the refrigerators and install GFCIs in the bathrooms.  He is very good at communicating the nature of the problems and detailing the solutions.  They came  the next day and completed all of the work by the end of the day.  I highly recommend his services.

Adrian (owner) was very professional, thorough, and friendly. He was quick to respond and his rates were competitive and affordable. He arrived as promised and provided a free estimate. I hired him on the spot to install a new outlet. He was quick to install and cleaned up behind himself. He walked me through what he would be doing, which reassured me in his work. Glad I could help out a local, non-corporate business. Will be keeping his info for any future services. Thank you!

Awesome! Obscene amount of Christmas Lights coupled with a rain storm turned into a fiasco of Chevy Chase proportions. I blew out a GFCI and power to several outlets. I called on a Saturday morning at 8 am and Mehran was here by 11. He also installed a dimmer I'd been meaning to do for months while he was here.  Very friendly. Super knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

It was easy to make an appointment and service was quick and friendly. Definitely recommend

Ok why I didnt make this call eariler is beyond me. Mostly because everytime I need a plumber or electrician we get royally screwed. But nope not this time. This time Trout is going into my speed dial. Namely Gil and Scott. Holy crapballs these two were like wizards. First off my pet peeve is service people not being on time. My time is valuable but Gil n Scott.....right on time AND a courtesy call before they showed up which was early in my time frame. They are super courteous and really careful with my vintage fixtures which no one else seems to give two craps about. They went above and beyond and Ive gotta say in todays world I truely appreciate it because thats a rarity. If I need electrical work again and can request my workers it would be Gil n Scott they really are the two best things since sliced bread! Highly recommend!!

I needed a complete rewire adding ceiling fans and can lights to my property.  C A Electric handled the job start to finish.  They showed up on time and kept the job site clean during the remodel process.  New switches,  new outlets, canned lights and ceiling fans throughout the house and looks awesome.  I highly recommend using them for your project.

Hector did a great job. Prices are reasonable and quality is awesome. I would recommend him for any electrical projects. He installed vanity lights and fans and his prices beat other quotes I received. I will use him again for future projects.
