Over 20 years of experience in the San Diego residential market. My passion is helping homeowners create the 'perfect feel' to their home through creative lighting and electrical solutions. I work closely with homeowners to find out their particular 'style' as well as budget, and then bring my considerable expertise to finding the best value-conscious solutions.
I am an expert in trouble-shooting electrical issues, and will give you an accurate estimate of expected costs before beginning work.
I have experience in all phases of electrical work including ground-up whole house, remodel, kitchens and baths, electrical panel trouble-shooting and replacement; as well as energy-efficient lighting and "smart home" solutions; and also commercial repairs.
I look forward to helping you with your electrical needs!
Keith and his people were nothing short of fantastic! I tried multiple other local companies who came out for about 5 mins to give me a quote and then threw a blanket/standard (and over-priced) quote in my face while telling me it would be months until they could get to it. Keith and one of his best guys showed up, spent over an hour looking at my panel, sub panel and the existing electrical footprint and listening to my end goal requests and then gave me multiple detailed quote options and solutions! They got right to work and everything was done in a few days. Keith was great with communication throughout the entire process! I would absolutely call him again if needed, but I won?t need to? the work was beyond professional! Thanks Keith!

I didn't know the rooms could be this well lit. We had some additional recessed lighting and ceiling fan/light fixtures installed (among other things). We hired Walter Electric a couple years ago to do a major upgrade on the home electrical/lighting, which turned out great, and so it was very good to be able to get them again. Keith had some great suggestions and it's really livened up the space. They are friendly, accomodating, and have great workmanship. Just really nice experience all around.

Keith and his team at Walter Electric are incredible. We had them do a ton of work on our house: new lighting in closets, LED lighting in two rooms, install new track lighting and ceiling fans, move switches and outlets around, and install hard wired lights in the bathroom and the front of the house. All of the work was done with precision craftsmanship and they left our house cleaned up nicely each day. Keith provided great guidance and recommendations along the way and was responsive to answer our questions. Would highly recommend Walter Electric!

I LOVED the work that Keith and his team did for me. It was so easy from start to finish. The entire team was professional, respectful, and communicative. They absolutely went above and beyond. I have an OLD house and the entire wiring needed to be redone. This seemed daunting and Keith not only walked through the whole process but even had amazing ideas for improving my current lighting situation. We replaced all the fans and lighting fixtures, added canned lights, provided updated switches that dim, added motion detectors for outside lighting, added a plug wherever I wanted and added a new heater/fan for the bathroom. Keith also outlined everything they were doing, the labor costs, and the cost of the materials so everything was so clear and there were no surprises. I am so happy with the results and truly am so appreciative. My house looks so great now!

I needed a complete redo of my 1970s electrical. He gave me a good estimate. Then I added a bunch of stuff. It was around Christmas too. But they were available and squeezed in my emergency between their other appointments. Minus half a start for a couple unfinished plug plates but really no biggie. My project I'm sure was annoying and Walter Electric was awesome!

Keith was great to work with. Walter Electric added lighting to our older home and replaced the sub-panel all for a fair price. We could not be happier with the quality of work and personnel.

First, Keith Walter worked really hard putting together a quote in the midst of the Coronavirus. Having two immune compromised family members living here, Keith assured me him and his workers would take all the proper precautions. Keith was able to work out an estimate over email and video calls which was very reasonable without setting foot on my property. Alan was the lead for the project and did an outstanding job. Alan and his crew wore all proper protective gear and took proper precautions to ensure the safety of my family. End result, I am very satisfied with the customer service and professionalism of Keith and his workers. I can t say enough good. I spent 26 years in the Army and our establishment is built on trust and respect which doesn t come easy. Walter Electric has earned my trust and respect.

Keith Walter is a professional in every sense of the word. He knows his work and he explains the work that is needed or will be needed and his fees are reasonable.

Keith Walter the owner, was very professional and easy to work with. We worked out a proposal that was within my budget without sacrificing the scope of work necessary to get my home completely rewired. His workers were conscientious, hardworking and rewired my old 1942 home with minimal cutting into my plaster walls. I plan to do some additional wiring and lighting for my yard and backyard deck and I will most definitely go with Walter Electric.

Word to the Wise---When dealing with any and all workers make sure you get up-front estimate in writing. For some reason, my job needed 2 people. One priced at $75 per hour and another at $40 per hour. 3 days of work, 58 hours later, total labor cost of $3,450. Yes, our fault for not getting upfront estimate in writing. I feel I could have hired one electrician for 5 days, 40 hours and got the same work completed at $45 per hour or about half. Yes, happy with quality of work but feel we got taken for a ride on labor costs. Again no matter how much you trust the worker, get it in writing and agree on price prior to starting the work.

Keith the owner was friendly, professional, and honest. He came in and gave me a thorough assessment of what I need. His team Alan and Sal both worked on my house after I hired them. These two men where friendly, and kept my place clean and did their jobs with great proficiency. I had my house rewired and some older outlets grounded. I was concern with damages to the walls and ceiling because they would have to cut into both to do the work. However, Alan did a beautiful job patching the wall and texturing it when they were done you couldn't tell anything has been done to the wall. They were not the lowest bid. However, they did a wonderful job and the extra money I spent was worth it. I was a little skeptical of 5 star ratings from so many reviewers, but now I am a believer.
