Best Businesses in San Diego, CA

I've used Bill at Mister Electric for years, he is a staple of Scripps Ranch. He is a one man shop, polite and fair in his dealings. His reported closure by Yelp (december 2018) is untrue, I called him this week and he was at my house to provide quotes for some small jobs I need done.
He is busy but leave a polite, clear message on the voice mail and expect a call back about your work. Recommended.

If you want it done right  call Raceway!  Don't waste your time trying to find someone who doesn't have the expertise that they have.
I have using Raceway for 15 years for my business, home and friends. There is never an issue, and I know the job will be done to code, done right and in a timely fashion.
If they can't take care of it, no one can...

Super happy with my service from today (NEMA 14/50 Outlet)
Brandon was great. Very communicative over text before the appointment and texted me when he was finished.  

Some highlights:
- He had everything installed wired and done in less than 40 minutes (Irvine Great Park house)
- Helped consult on the best location for the outlet
- One year warranty after the service date
- When I called, their first availability was ~1.5 weeks.
- Was able to pay over Venmo

100% Would recommend

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!

Direct Electric installed a Quiet Cool Stealth 4.8 Whole House Fan for us. Their 2 installers arrived on time and in an hour they were done. No fuss, no mess just superior service. Tommy & Cody were great. Highly recommend.

Miguel was on point, knowledgable, in and out quickly. Would I call on Good News again, of course!

They were great! We called Hit the Lights at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, and our problem was fixed 8:30 a.m. the next morning. Hit the Lights arrived early and fixed the problem within 10 minutes.  Apparently there was a GFI outlet hidden in our garage cabinets. Instead of leaving they asked if there were any other electrical issues they could fix and proceeded to tighten up some outlet plates and answer questions we had about anticipated projects.  Appointment confirmation and invoicing is all done via text and email, which is super convenient.  Will definitely use Hit the Lights going forward and would recommend them to others.

I highly recommend Electric 24.  They came out the same day and did a fantastic job.  Very clean, honest and professional.  You won't have to worry about getting ripped off and getting a substandard job done!
Thanks for the great work.

Jeff and his crew installed my Tesla wall charger a few years ago.  Recently it lost power. They came back out, the same day I called, discovered why it didn't have power, and took care of it. AND Kwan made it all much more user friendly by moving things around to hang the cable properly on the wall. He was friendly, knowledgable and a pleasure to talk with. He even left an extra fuse, just in case another blows! I have called them several other times to hang ceiling fans, etc, and they are ALWAYS efficient and clean. I highly recommend EV Pro for any electrical need. Thanks, guys!

Very professional. Helpful.  Great workmanship.  Quick, on time, clean and efficient. Plan to use his teams' services again!

Rudy is a true professional and a great guy on top of that. The service he provided was excellent. He knows his craft. Thanks Rudy!

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.

I am so grateful for these guys!  Dylan came over when half of our home went dark, and he saved the day!  He knew exactly what was wrong and found the problem in what could have taken hours, but instead it was just 90 minutes.  He said he got lucky, but I think he's gifted and a hero.

I will be recommending these guys to everyone who needs an electrician.

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!

I would say that Gunner is probably the best handyman I have ever used. Along with his excellent well-rounded skillset, he responds quickly to calls/texts, he shows up on time, has highly competitive rates, but most of all, he is friendly, personable and I also feel that I can trust him which is extremely important! I would highly recommend Gunner.

Have an electrical issue with my hot tub. Called SZ and they were very informative, helpful and courteous over the phone.

Hired them to install an outlet in my garage to charge my EV. Got a few quotes and they were on the lower end. Did the job two days later, were very professional and left everything cleaner than it was before.

While running some wiring though the front yard they had to dig a trench from the electrical panel to the garage. We realized a couple days later they hit a sprinkler line, I let them know and they came over right away and fixed it. Would definitely use them again.
