Best Businesses in San Diego, CA

We've used Bill for many years. I'm surprised there are not more reviews posted regarding his excellent service. If you want someone who shows up on time, returns phone calls, is professional and honest with reasonable rates, don't hesitate to call him.

Mike and his team at Raceway were great to work with!  From the estimate where he brought some good ideas, to the quick execution and professionalism of his team.  They performed some home improvements for me, sconces, outside lights, garage lights, ceiling fan.  Highly recommend!

These guys were great! I sent out a Yelp quote to several Tesla recommended installers - some ranged as high as $1100 and A-EV Installs came back with a very competitive quote for much less (given that I was within 5ft of the panel). When coupled with the excellent reviews, it was an easy decision.
Adam from A-EV was at my house right on time and completed the work in less than two hours. It requires him to go from the laundry room to the garage, which he did so very neatly, and cleaned everything up afterwards.
Great job - would highly recommend.

Had another guy try and wire an ac outlet, HDMI and speaker wire for a home theater.  Had to have him stop after he had started.  He cut a big hole in my drywall and said the wires couldn't be fished.  Would have to open up the ceiling at each rafter to run it.
Had Joe come out.  He saved the day.  Ran the outlet, HDMI, and speaker wire.  He was able to fish all of it without cutting a piece of drywall.  He even found a recessed tv outlet box that was big enough to cover the hole the other guy had cut in my ceiling.  Had him install a hanging light and a fan/light in another room as well.  I'll be using Joe for all my electrical needs from here on out.

FJ is a great guy with excellent customer service skills!  I was looking for an electrician because we have loads of problems at my house and he gave estimates on the phone that sounded reasonable, compared to the other electricians/ companies out there who said there was a minimum fee just to come to the door! The previous yelp reviews definitely helped in calling FJ :)
Anyways FJ comes over, looks at the houses problems, ends up being worse than I thought :( he did what he could that day and I was satisfied, my house needs miracles! However a few days later FJ emails to say it was bothering him that our house could be safer than what it was (our house is about 100yrs old, not vintage cute either) for my husband, myself and our new son.
It was/is very thoughtful that he kept us in mind even though time had passed since he came out. I was shocked and both my husband and myself were overwhelmed by how genuinely nice and caring he is.
I highly recommend him for any size project, the work he did looks awesome and knowing what the problems were before FJ we feel a lot safer.
Give FJ a call you won't regret it!!!

On time, down to earth and easy to work with. Pretty experienced too.  Kept it simple.

This was our second time using DE to install a whole house fan. They did a great job for us a few years ago and did not disappoint in our current house. Tony and Ayden did a great job with the installation, were very professional, on time and it was a great overall experience.

I only communicated with Miguel through a couple texts to have him work in my Mom's new home and I already knew he was professional and super nice! Unfortunately, he only had free time slots when I worked but I knew my mom was in good hands.

According to my mom, Miguel and his employee were very kind and professional and they made sure everything was perfect. They were even nice enough to hang some things for me :)

When I came home, I was more than happy with Miguel's work! I am very OCD and anal and the two big tv's that were hung were done PERFECTLY.

I recommend Miguel and his team to everyone!

Five stars isn't enough. A legitimate trustworthy business. He helped me for free before I became a client of his. A quick simple fix (trust me I felt very stupid) but he came over fixed my problem and said. Put your money away. Love this guy and I hope to see his business grow exponentially!

Tim is awesome! We had an early morning appointment set at 7am, and he was prompt in showing up. Very professional, informative, honest, and flexible with scheduling. He helped trouble shoot some minor electrical concerns we had going on in our home. We plan to contact Tim in the future for any electrical needs. Highly recommend! :)

The best service I've had with any contractor in a long while. I had to upgrade my electric for charging a new Tesla and they did a stellar job. On time, fair price and left the place clean. Highly recommend.

Joel was spot on twice now. Used Joel when I first moved in and he straightened out my thermostats and my doorbells. This time I had Joel put another box on my house so I can run my generator as a back up for when PG&E shuts down our power due to high winds.

Professional that takes time to fully explain his work.

Thanks Joel. You are my go-to guy from now on sir.

Thanks

Rudy Rodriguez's card says specializing in small jobs that nobody does. Well he did just that and much more! He came in immediately, fixed everything with a smile on his face and at a fair price. Rudy is a man with a very kind heart too. You will be sure to be pleased!

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.

OMG!!! This company is phenomenal!  We had to update our old radiant ceiling heating system and were at the end of our budget. We had totally remodeled our home and spent enough money as it was. Then we had to deal with bypassing the old system and having electric box heaters installed into the walls in 4 rooms. Scary as they would need to cut into the walls to do this.  After 5 other bids from local Electricians that would come out and ask us electrical questions we could not answer (which honestly scared us off) or saying they could probably do the the job) we found Service Rite Electric. They came out right away, told us what needed to be done and what type of power our system could support. They had an estimate in writing to us within the hour via email and came out the next day to do the work. They were finished in 2.5 hours and not one bit of mess! The new wall heaters looked gorgeous and work perfectly and since they finished in half the time, they took off $350.00 dollars!! Yes I definitely recommend this company! Fair, fast and friendly.

Had a great experience with Laguna Electric and would recommend to anyone in the South Orange County area.  Lucian is a perfectionist and installed great outdoor lighting in the front and rear of home.  Will definitely use Lucian again for future electrical projects

RK Electric was the bomb! Dave called me a couple of days after he was referred to me by my landscape contractor and showed  up on time to give me a quote. He turned what seemed to be a complicated situation of getting electrical to my new Spa and adding plugs to my backyard into a simple solution. when I came home the work was done and he called me later that night to see how I would like to pay and voila  - project completed. He was courteous and thorough...I highly recommend!

Gunner is great!  Very professional, friendly and precise.  He's now my go-to handyman in San Diego.  Highly recommend him.

I had a two room blackout in my house and called Saeid at SZ Electric and he was at my house within the hour and had my problem solved in no time. Very prompt, professional and courteous. I would highly recommend this company for any residential electrical work.

Very fast response and timely completion with installing 220 for the electric range! They needed to think outside of the box to extend the power through the walls so that it's hidden. They patched and cleaned after the work.
