Best Businesses in San Diego, CA

Bill, aka Mister Electric is a racist.  He showed up to my house, asked if we were Hispanic and then told us he did not have time for our job, and gave us a card for a Mexican to come do our work. I was beyond baffled.

Disappointed in the customer service and pricing this company provides.  Got an estimate from the owner, Mike, for changing out outlets and light switches (from Decora to toggle and replacing some with timers and dimmers - about 60 total give or take).  Original estimate came in at $1120.  Ended up agreeing to $970 estimate based off of the expert owner's estimate of work.   After the two employees completed their work which was two guys 3 hours each or 6 work hours for both (breakdown is pricing from the company: $125 first hour, $95 for next two hours total of $315 each), so the total without tax was $630 which ends up being $340 less than $970 (agreed estimate) and $490 from the original estimate of $1120.  Mike contends that they are experts in their field, which I guess is supposed to be the reason for the overpricing.  I take issue with owner Mike's overestimate of the time it was going to take them - I am a layperson not knowing how long experts take to change out the outlets and switches which is a basic task so I of course had to go off what he said the job would take.  If the job was a complicated or involved project, I might not have an issue with what they overcharged.  The employees finished up an hour and a half early or three hours for both of them.  They probably ran off to another job and are getting double pay for the hour and a half they left me early, although I don't know if this is the case.  I addressed my concerns with Mike directly and got nowhere, no offer to split the difference to make the customer happy and to be fair, nothing other than a question from him whether their work was okay.  I did not have issue with the work, other than the clean up vacuuming needed to be better (drywall left in my carpet and on the tile floor and I had to have the guys redo work because one new switch in the closet didn't turn on the light which they did not notice) and I had to clean up black fingerprints from the light plates and outlets.  Very disappointed in the lack of customer service, especially at this time when all of us are hurting financially. Guess Raceway Electric won't be hurting with the extra $340 they got from me.  Would not recommend this company unless you like supplementing Raceway's bottom line for nothing in return.

I read the Yelp reviews before reaching out to the Company to do the work and they lived up to all the amazing reviews. Steven was extremely helpful advising me over the phone and Adam was the same way with the installation. I really appreciate coming across a company with excellent customer service.

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!!!

We've use Chris for small electrical jobs for a few years now.  He's a great electrician and just a good guy.  Recently, we had an alarming situation with sparks and burning smell from an electrical outlet and Chris came out within a couple hours and took care of it.  If he has time, he will often ask if there are any other things that he can take care of while he's here and I often have a few things that he will fix or replace.  He's very reasonable and straight-forward and patiently answers my litany of questions on how things work and how much it would cost to knock all the various projects off my wish list.

It was a truly a pleasure working with Direct Electric. John set up our installation appointment and later modified when it didn't work for us. He was honest and fair in his on the phone quote.
Sonny and Josh came out and worked hard to find solutions to some difficult problems. They kept me in the loop every step of the way. They were friendly and personable and clearly had the technical knowledge to make it work. We could not have been happier with the job that they did. I greatly appreciate partnering with them through this process and we now enjoy our whole house fan.

Miguel came over that same afternoon/evening and was able to diagnose and repair various issues we had in the house. He was fair and very knowledgeable about what it could be and was able to quickly and accurately diagnose the issue. Did not try to sell us stuff we didn't need and explained everything the entire time he was working at our house. Come from the auto industry (as a technician) it was great to deal with someone that was professional, honest, and good at his job! Thanks again Miguel!!! We highly recommend!

Issac and Rico are professionals who did a wonderful job installing our chandelier and fans throughout our home.  They're meticulous, organized, and they do clean and awesome work.  I highly recommend them to anyone needing excellent electrical work.  Thanks, Issac and Rico!!!

I highly recommend Electric 24. I've used him several times for different services at my print shop and they've always come through in a timely manner but most importantly the service was great and the work was completed quickly and for a very fair price. Keep up the good work!

EV Pros did a great job installing our two Tesla wall chargers. Other electricians were asking what the specs were for them before they could even give me an estimate and even told me we probably couldn't install two since most homes can only handle one. They wouldn't even schedule a time to come see for themselves that this wasn't the case.  When I called Jeff of EV Pros, he asked me a couple of questions and immediately determined that two wall chargers was perfectly fine. He knew exactly what to do and scheduled an appointment with his electricians. Gilbert and Charlie were friendly, polite, and professional and cleaned up after themselves. They did a great job with the help of Evan who dropped some wring off with them as we decided that daisy chaining the two wall chargers was our best option. Evan helped Gilbert and Charlie make sure all was done correctly. Christian came by with all the permit info and was very helpful in getting that done. Making my appointment with the City of Irvine for a final inspection of the wall charger installation was very easy. That evening we had two working wall chargers. We'd highly recommend EV Pros for your Tesla charging needs.

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.

Rudy is an excellent electrician.  He has done numerous jobs for us, rewiring a garage, putting in new electric outlets, upgrading electrical wiring that was funky, and trouble shooting an old duplex in Del Mar.  He is the best and I wish he had a twin who was a plumber!  He is friendly, helpful, and explains everything in plain English to the electrically challenged.  If you need a good electrician, hire him.

The five star reviews for this place come from people with barely any other yelp reviews.  I would keep this in mind when making a decision for yourself.

My experience mirrors a negative review below in that I had to redo Tony's expensive work because he did not do the job to CA code requirements. It is astounding to think that on a $2k job he would try to save maybe $50 in material rather than do it to code.  My husband even asked him about the wire size he was using and when confronted he says it is to code and fine.  Only after he pressed it further, did he finally relent and said my husband was right but that it would be fine and the code was too strict.  I'm still waiting for him to refund our money.  

His worker was also sloppy and messy and not very professional.  This was about a year ago so I don't recall his name.  

If he was a dirt cheap electrician I could maybe understand his thinking, but when he charges top dollar and you get subpar and amateur quality work there is just no point in entertaining his offer for your job.  Maybe he can do a ceiling light or fan, but I would not trust him to do anything that required higher gauge wire that one day might lead to your house burning down because he skimped out.

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 helped us with an electrical mystery during our garage remodel.  He was very responsive, arriving about an hour after I called.  On the first visit, he took a look at the problem and offered advice on how we might correct it ourselves.  When we still couldn't figured it out he came back and fixed everything in short order.  Laguna Electric will be our first call for any electrical work going forward.  First class service!

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

My wife and I were in the middle of a remodel and had bee using another handyman service. The job turned out to be too much for one crew and I called Gunner to help finish up the project. I started to give him  more work when I saw the quality of his work  and professionalism . Very good all around knowledge. We contracted Gunner for some electrical work and ended up having hime finish our garage with drywall, texture and paint. Will be using Anthem again soon on another project. Have already recommended him to my neighbors.

Saeid and his two assistants did 2 days' work for our kitchen remodel, including install of a new sub panel.

I have done similar work myself and I'm quite fussy about details.

We are happy with his work. I would use him again.

Initial discussions proved to me that he has lots of experience and very sound judgment. He made some good suggestions (such as putting in a bigger sub panel than I had in mind (negligible price difference).

Saied was extremely easy to work with as we discussed many details of the job, including changes while the work was underway.

His fixed bid ($5,000) was pretty reasonable. Our other bid (Rory Higgins) was $9,448.The job entailed about 45 man hours (not including travel time) and maybe $800 to $1,000 of materials. Some of it was difficult attic work, and also being a good detective as he integrated with our existing circuits. It turned out we needed one extra circuit installed, which he included at no extra charge.

They worked pretty hard to fish difficult areas instead of cutting excessive holes in our walls.

All the communications and timeliness, was excellent, and Saeid is a really nice guy.

These guys are the best! We were experiencing power outages in part of our new home and they came out the same day to fix it. In the process of troubleshooting, they discovered several issues stemming from very sloppy electrical work done by the previous owner which posed many fire hazards throughout the home. They worked hard to fix everything and charged a very fair price. They were very kind, professional, and thorough.
