Very fast response with my quote. Great price and would use again. Work was done in a timely manner, just had to reduce punctuality to a "B" because of a late start on the job day and no phone call. Other then that, great work was done.

We thought they did a good job until we recently started remodeling our kitchen. As part of the remodel, we had to open up the outlets that were supposedly pig tailed only to discover that 1/2 the outlets in the kitchen were in fact NOT pigtailed. They replaced the outlet but did not install the pigtailing material. If 1/2 of our kitchen did not get done, what does this mean for the rest of my house? He went through and counted every single outlet and charged me for pigtailing every single outlet when in fact they did not do that. The only way for us to now know what was done is to open every single outlet and find out. I can't even be content with the knowledge that they replaced the outlet so that means they pig tailed it when we know for a fact in the kitchen that did not happen. In addition, one of the outlets specifically says not for aluminum wiring and the electrician connected it straight to the aluminum wiring. To top it all off, they accidentally fell through the roof in one of the bedrooms, I get it. Accidents happen. So they had a drywall guy come to repair it. Well, his car leaked oil on our brand new concrete driveway. The electrician said he had someone that he would have come out and clean it up since the usual chemicals to clean it up wouldn't remove it. After calling him for a month with no response on when his "guy" was coming to fix the concrete, we gave up.
Description of Work: We hired Fullerton Electric to pigtail our 1970 aluminum wired house. The prior owners had pigtailed the outlets but used subpar material. During escrow we had Don Holly come out and check their work and he said they used the wrong connectors. They should have used different connectors when pigtailing. So in order to close escrow, we required the owners to pay for the house to be pigtailed again and hired Fullerton Electric to do it. Since they were already opening each outlet, we also purchased new outlets to have them installed at the same time the pigtailing occurred.

The doorbell was installed and worked properly. However, they charged us $500+ for installing the doorbell. This is what happened: They charge by the number of hours of work. Knowing this, the technician had no incentive to work efficiently to get things done. It took the technician 4 hours from 9am to 1pm to install our doorbell and they charge $100+ for labor per hour. During the four hours, he took phone calls and each took a long time as he was giving instructions to other technician on how to do their jobs. Also, during the four hours, he drove to Home Depot to buy a doorbell as he didn't have one with him, and the trip took an hour and a half though Home Depot is within 10 minutes drive from our place. All these time count at our expenses. The guy I talked to on the phone at the time of scheduling told us it should be about $150 but also mentioned that it depends on the time. It was our fault to assume it is a simple enough task that shouldn't take long or be too costly. We were stunned to see the bill came in $500+ and weren't happy how these guys treat their customers. We will not use this company again. If you do, figure out a way to make sure they don't over charge you.

Very well. The electrician checked the plug in the upstairs bathroom and dropped a line down the inside of the wall and installed the receptacle on the hallway side of the wall. He worked quietly and finished the work in a more than reasonable length of time. He was professional at all times. The finished project was extremely well done. There wasn't a nick or a disturbance of paint on either side of the wall. I have had services performed by this company previously and most definitely would rely on them for future electrical projects. Patricia Richardson

I live about 400 miles from my rental home in Fullerton. Our renter called me on the Friday of Memorial Day weekend to report loss of power in the kitchen and garage. I called Don Holly senior to ask for help to fix the problem. Don worked with our renter to arrange a time to come by and work on it. He found a short in a ceiling fan in the garage. After fixing that, the house was back to normal, and our renter was very happy with the responsiveness of all of us, as well as Don's handling of his part. Once again, Don has been a big help, when I needed him.
Description of Work: Locate a short circuit that caused power loss in the kitchen and garage and repair service to those areas.

Don came out right away to estimate the job. However, the company had quite a bit of work backed up, so I had to wait for availability. Since our work was all inside, Don called early on a rainy day a few days later to say that an electrician became available that same day. He came out and performed all of the work quickly and professionally, including quite a bit of work in the attic to run the wiring. We are more than pleased with the outcome! The lights were installed exactly where we wanted them, and we now have enough lighting in the living room and the chandelier is centered over our kitchen table.
Description of Work: In a 37 year old house that we just purchased, the company installed two sconce lights and a dimmer in our living room, and moved a chandelier in the kitchen to properly center it over the table.

I spoke to Don Sr., who is the owner to set-up the appointment. Don did the best he could to make our requested time availability. Pete, the electrician showed up at the house and he took care of all the issues. He showed up on time, even early. He took the time to explain to me what the issues were and was a constant professional. He did it all with a smile. I would definitely hire Fullerton Electric again.
Description of Work: He replaced three outlets and fixed a light switch.

My 50 yr. old 100 Amp panel needed to be upgrade to a 200 Amp panel badly I was having too many elec. problems. The company that fixed the initial problems quoted at $4,100 which I thought was high so I asked Fullerton Elect. to quote based on Angie's list. Don, I assume the owner, came over to quote and was great to work with and offered some good advice for outlets in critical areas. They gave me a great price so I signed on the spot. setup the appointment and they were on time and spent two days upgrading the panel and it looks great and I also have extra room to expand now. Everything went perfectly and just as they said. They pulled the permits which I liked and offered a recommendation for the stucco patch work which is now in progress now. The icing on the cake was when the city inspector finished inspecting their work he said whoever did this work really did an excellent job, this is really nice work. That comment gave me another level of comfort. Really great company to work with, wish they were all this good.

We actually used Fullerton Electric back in 2005 when we had to have our entire electrical panel replaced. They came in with the lowest price, and did a really spectacular job. We called them again this summer when we had a tricky wiring job to get the exterior lights on our patio cover to run off a switch inside the house. They did a really nice job and they take pride in their work. We did not get another bid on the job so I can't say how competitive their price was but it was very important for us to have the work done well. We were definitely pleased with the results and would absolutely hire them again.

I would not recommend Fullerton Electric.
Description of Work: After several calls to schedule an estimate and one visit I declined to hire Fullerton Electric. The scope of the work I required and the owners schedule just did not work. Because I wanted to do part of the work now and the rest at a later date, I never got a call back to schedule my job. Very poor customer service.

All of the work was fabulous. The repair of the blown circuit was handled efficiently and skillfully. The replacement of the vent fan equipment was handled the same way. What I appreciated most was the sense of urgency, when I needed it most and the follow through with commitments. Don Holly Sr is my go to man for any more electrical work I need. The old fashioned personal touch to make sure you know what's going on and that your work is the most important business of the moment is a rare find.

I lost electricity to halve of my house this occurred on Friday night at about 6 pm. The electricity to the kitchen was completyl off. I called Frank & Sons on Saturday morning at about 10 am. I was told that an electrician was in the are and would be out at 11:30 The electrian notified me he would arrive at 11am, and he did. He found the problem, it was a failure of the main breaker switch. My electrical panel is an older model, the part are special order generally. He called his shop and the owner came to deliver the part. I was very inpressed. The repair was done in no time, he also fixed a problem I was having with a short in and another wall plug for no additional cost.
Description of Work: The overall service was excellent. They showed up promptly and completed the job in a short amount of time.

According to my sister who lives in the house, the gentleman checked out everything and found it was an old lamp that was shorting out everything and once she unplugged it everything worked just fine. The electrician was very nice and professional and the service excellent. Will definitely use this electrical company again and will tell relatives, friends and neighbors about them. Great Job and thank you.

Friday evening, half the power was out in my house. It was late, so I emailed Fullerton Electric about my problem. Saturday morning, Don had called and understood my situation. As busy as they were, he fit me into his schedule and called me to give me updates on when someone would be available. That afternoon, their electrician Pete had come by to inspect and resolve the issue. Pete was very professional and courteous and explained what had caused the outage in a manner that even I could understand.

I originally called on a Thursday and spoke with Don Jr. on the phone to explain my situation and ask for a rough estimate, knowing that without seeing the actual job things could change. Don thoroughly explained what he thought the job would entail and gave me an EXACT quote over the phone. He then said that Don Sr. would call me on Monday morning to schedule the job for either Monday or Tuesday (I had indicated I wasn't in a super rush). Don Sr. called me first thing Monday morning and said a technician would be there in a couple of hours. The technician showed up EARLY and went right to work, finishing the job in just over an hour. I am very pleased with the work and would definitely use them again for any future electrical needs.

I got several quotes before selecting the electrician and although they were not the cheapest, I am still glad that I chose them as they were very professional nice to work with and did excellent work. It started with Don Sr. coming over and doing the initial estimate. This was accurate of the final price (aside from additional cost for circuits that the permit required, but they were upfront immediately about the cost.) They also pulled the permit for me and only charged for the permit fee, several other companies would pull the permit but would also charge time to do it, this saved me about 100 bucks Jeff was the electrician who was sent and he did excellent work. He was extremely friendly and respectful of me, my fiancee and our home. He made sure to not track any dirt or what not into the house. He completed all the work in the timeframe they provided and made sure to explain the work and any information I needed to know. I would highly recommend them and especially Jeff.

The technician Jeff set up an appointment with me on Saturday because my weekly schedule was not workable. Jeff was right on time and went right to work to spot the trouble. As it turned out, the problem he found had been around for some time and had over the years caused us intermittent trouble. He also explained some the of labels on the outside circuit box that had been incorrectly labeled which also helped explain some earlier problems we had. Finally Jeff suggested running a separate circuit for our microwave to help avoid future overload problems. Overall, a very good experience!
