Fast response professional work and easy to work with! I called quite a few places and finally settled with this company and couldn't be happier.

I got quotes for more work around the house and we will continue to use these guys for all of our electric needs! Our barn lights look lovely and it's nicely set up with timers and neat conduits etc.

Awesome job, thanks Alfonso and team.

Found this company on next door and explained I wanted about 7 bulbs replaced. The bathrooms have these hard to replace bulbs that are very high otherwise we would do it ourselves. I explained all this in detailed texts and whoever responded assumed the electrical was bad and said it wasn't worth the hassle and suggested we perform electrical work. I advised I think he misunderstood as these homes were only 6 years old and all the LED bulbs were burning out. Thought the response was rude and presumptive. Anyone know a good handyman in south OC area?

Truly should have gone through some of these reviews. The ones that give an honest not so great experience are given pretty bluntly aggressive attacks by the owner ... which I can relate to my experience and I was simply inquiring...prices had not even been addressed yet.

@Rob .. obviously I wasn't a customer. Read the text, lol. You or whomever refused to replace 7 bulbs stating the electrical was bad. I had even explained I already replaced two but the others were too high. Who would have been satisfied at this response? Literally who? You could have just politely said you were not interested .. absolutely acceptable, but instead you were rude and presumptive.

Yelpers, please note the passive aggressiveness in business owner's response. I am stating facts and this is how he speaks to potential clients. Every review less than 4-5 stars seems to receive bullying.

That's the worst part about relocating. You have to start all over in trying to establish relationships with good companies - so hard to find. We had the best electrician and plumber back in TX.

Side note..whenever I see a lot of yelp reviews with little to no profile, friends, or other reviews you can't help but wonder if they are legit.

I apologize in advance if Rob has a medical problem, but the aggressive and rude behavior if not acceptable anywhere.  Alfonso is a nice guy, but very SLOW.  We were charged by the hour.  (I wonder why?) and ended up paying three times what the competition would charge for the job.  Just the tip of the iceberg of many issues.  Never, ever again!  Worse experience with a contractor.  Still shaking my head.

I found Anchor through Yelp. I would not recommend them. I hired them to install two ceiling fans and a NEMA 14-50 adaptor. The adaptor is OK; as far as I know, I haven't been able to use it yet.

The ceiling fan was installed in one room, the box with the old fan was left in the room, and the old remote was still screwed into the wall. In my experience, when you pay someone to remove and install something, they remove all of it, they haul away the old item, unless you request to keep it, the uninstall all parts. I had to ask the guy (Danny) to remove the old remote and ask him to remove the old fan. He brought the fan downstairs and put it in front of my front door????. The other guy then informed him that yes, they do haul away the old item. He left the new remote on the bed, with no question about whether I would like it installed on the wall.

Installing the old fan took about 30 minutes, not counting having to ask him to remove all of the old parts. When it came to the charge, they attempted to charge me for an hour and a half to install the new fan. I disputed this and said it did not take him that long. I paid for an hour. There was no drama or anger; I simply said that did not take you an hour and a half; it was barely an hour. I'll pay for an hour. Were they trying to take advantage of a woman?

The other fan did not come with a long enough down rod, so I needed to order that. They said they would come back and would not charge the fee to come out just the time it took to install the fan. While I wasn't happy with the service, I said OK because I didn't want to pay extra for a new person and have to find a new person. I made the appointment by calling. The appointment was accepted. Danny called the day before the appointment and canceled and said he was too busy. No attempt to reschedule. Do not book these amateurs.

UPDATE - Don't you just love it when and owner comes back and blames the customer for their bad service?  In Response to the owner. I was not rude nor did I blame your guys for anything. I did not have the down rod needed, my fault, I knew I would have to reschedule.  Only one ceiling fan can be installed at a time, so there was no delay on my part.

Is it rude to call out an overcharge? Apparently it is rude to you and your team if a woman  stands up for herself saying she thinks charging and hour and a half for something that took 40 minutes is not acceptable. There was no yelling no berating, just saying I am not okay with paying more than the time that was used.  AND I have never used Anchor Electric before and I never will again.

I highly recommend Anchor electric.
Alfonso came on time and corrected the immediate issues with blown fuses and the wiring problem. He is a knowledgeable, efficient, and skilled electrician but I especially loved his kind and gentle demeanor. Anchor Electric will be returning to add additional wiring, another outlet, and to replace outdated outlets. It's a blessing to work with an honest company with reasonable rates.

Called them for a NEMA 14-50 outlet install in the garage. Asked a couple of questions about where the panel was located and where I wanted the installation. They quoted the price on phone, showed up promptly the next morning, and were professionally done in 1 hour. Very easy process. Highly recommend.

David the electrician arrived on time, did top quality work, at a fair, agreed upon in advanced price. I did get multiple estimates from four different contractors, some were more than double than the price of Anchor Electric's quote! I highly recommend Anchor Electric.

We recently bought a new electric car and we're looking to have a home charger installed. After getting a few quotes, we settled on Anchor electric because of their positive reviews and timely responses. David showed up on time, followed COVID protocols and worked quickly and efficiently to install our charger. Prices were more than fair and the work seems top quality! We would absolutely use them again!
