Best Businesses in San Diego, CA

I called Bill based on a referral I received from a co-worker.  I can't say enough positive things about him.  He called me back within 30 minutes after I left my message, met me on-time (an exact time, not a range), quickly identified and fixed my issue, and price was super-reasonable I felt.  I highly recommend him and will call him every time I have a need for an electrician in the future.  He also helped me out with some small other items regarding my fuse box itself that I didn't even ask him to do.  He is a nice, trustworthy guy.

Recently had Mike from Raceway Electric install a large solar panel system on our home. We had researched many other local company's and Raceway Electric was able to give us the best price of the different quotes we received. Mike was very knowledgeable on the whole process from start to finish from getting the permits to navigating the app that monitors our solar panels. The solar business has become a very saturated market and we are very happy with choosing Raceway Electric over any other.

These guys were best priced and very professional. Kwan and his coworker were polite and very knowledgeable.

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!

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!!!

A couple years back Chris helped us out with an ongoing issue with our antiquated electrical system. Not only did he take the time to explain to a novice what exactly he what replacing, he instinctively left us with an extra breaker in case the problem persisted. Cut to this morning when waiting for a refrigerator repair man and the same breaker went out. I called and left a frantic message and no more than five minutes later, Chris while on vacation, returned my call.  After settling me down he explained what I was dealing with. After opening the breaker box, there like a gift from Santa, was the extra breaker. Problem solved. If you are looking for an experienced and honest electrician who also happens to be great person, look no further than Lundgren Electric.

We were referred by a family member that used to work for Direct Electric. The service from start to finish was beyond excellent. They were on time explained everything they were going to do and were very quick. We love our Quiet Cool and have even referred a friend and they have already scheduled their appointment to have one installed as well.

Professional and amazing work. Would highly recommend.Miguel is friendly and professional and gives you great advice and consultation to get the best results. Very happy customer.

It was a Sunday afternoon and my GFI outlet in my garage stopped working so I called Izack and even no he is on vacation in Texas he still answered the phone and walked me through trouble shooting the problem and fixed it!! Please anybody who is willing to take the extra time even though they aren't available to help me I would highly recommend I will definitely be calling him again for my future needs and I would recommend him to anyone with five stars!

Called and made an appointment and Tim arrived on time and fixed all my electrical issues. Great service

I've read a lot of recommendations and reviews on NextDoor and Yelp. Despite knowing that EV Pros has a higher price point, I still decided to go with them for their quality work. I like the fact that they are forthcoming about their pricings.  My brother in law had used them in the past so they are highly recommended.

My NEMA outlet was installed a day before my charger came. When I went to install my charger, I realized that the outlet was upside down since the charger's cable was very short. I don't have much wiggle room to turn the cable up to plug it in.

Without much expectation since it was a 4th of July weekend, I reached out to EV Pros asking if they would come out to help me flip the outlet around. Russell, who installed the outlet initially, responded and came out on Sunday morning to turn the outlet around for me. It was a very nice gesture for him to do so and I'm very grateful for it.

The workmanship is professional and I would definitely recommend them to my friends.

So I took the day off work for the scheduled appointment to place new lights on my garage and a motion light in my back yard.  Last week I had called to confirm and asked if the appointment was still going to happen if it rained.  I was told , Yes it will.  I am off work without pay and waiting and texted to see if Joel was lost and the reply text was, I am sorry, we are going to have to reschedule.  Thanks a lot!!  Now I will be out 2 days of work when I have someone else come out to do the job, and I specifically asked if you were coming rain or shine.  Very disrespectful of someone's time.  You probably did me a favor though because after I told people what I was getting done to my house, and the price, they all replied that you were charging me way too much for that, but I already had the quote and the appointment so I was going to suck it up and get it done.

It is so wonderful to do business with someone who is a positive fixture for many years in the neighborhood, and who also embodies the best of his profession.  Rudy Rodriguez has always been involved - as a baseball coach, tireless volunteer at the local Solana Beach schools, and joyfully raising a terrific family in Solana Beach.  He worked for 30+ years for SDGE before deciding to build a business of his own.  He will honestly give you the best possible solution to any electrical need, big or small,  business or residential and try his best to save money.  He is one of the most ethical people I have ever met.  I had other electricians tell me huge costs were necessary to bring my small home electrical panel into this century but Rudy was able to do it for a fraction of the cost.  I can't recommend him more highly!

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.

Lucian and his partner found the problem and educated us along the way.  He is professional and responded on a weekend (unexpectedly).  I highly recommend this company.

This is the second time I have used Dave and his crew. I was hoping the first time was not an anomaly. My wife got one of those new jet engine hair dryers that were tripping the breaker all the time. So I called RK for help. Dave came in to size up the job - even took the time to understand the problem so that he could provide an appropriate solution. He quoted the job then took the time to explains the job very clearly so there is no misunderstanding it was almost a college level tutorial on basic electronics.  His crew came in and got the job done, cleans up and very professional. As long as he is in business he will have my business for life. ...I highly recommend RK

Very helpful and responsive to messages! Did a great job removing our satellite dish from the second story eves. Great communication. Recommended.

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

Gorge and his Danny were very quick and responsive to my call of help. They came out to my home and immediately began to troubleshoot my issues and not only found the problem, but also went out their way to ensure that they explained every step they were doing. I highly recommend this company and I know you will be satisfied with their 5 star service. The best electrians in town!! Thank you so much George and Danny for your exceptional service and professionalism. Truly a God send company.
