Don seemed like a great guy when he came and did a site analysis. Said he would give me a call the next day. I waited and did not hear anything back for a few days and decided to give him a call to see what happened. He stated that he didn't call because he wasn't interested and wouldn't make money on the job. I asked him to give me a quote that he would do the job for and we can work from there. The next day he called with the quote which was very reasonable, he also took off $150 as I would provide my own dimmers. I gave him the okay on Tuesday to proceed and he said it might be possible to install on Thursday and Friday. Thursday comes along and I still have not heard back so I give Don a call. He stated that he was way to busy and would be able to do the job on Weds and finish on Friday the following week. I was okay with this and set up for 8 am on Weds. I called Don yesterday to confirm installation for tomorrow and he stated that he will not do the job because he wasn't making any money of the job. Honestly, Don has trouble calling customers back as well as holding himself accountable to his promises. I do not like to leave negative feedback but I felt it was my obligation to inform the community of his blatant lack of customer service.
Description of Work: Don came out to give an estimate on 24 LED recessed lighting throughout the house along with wiring and dimmers.

These guys are top notch. Very professional and reasonable pricing with no shortcuts. They pulled permits and kept me informed every step of the way. They were able to troubleshoot an electrical issue in my kitchen in about 10 minutes while the first electrician I called was not able to figure it out. My car chargers and service panel are now installed neatly, to code, and most importantly are safe to use. Do not hesitate to give them a call.

I was going to have Fullerton Electricity come out as my fuse has blewn and the I could not fix it. I called to make an appt and they just walked me through how to fix it at no charge. I have some other things that I need done as well but have not been able to connect again to have them actually come out. But I definitely would just by the help they did over the phone at no charge. Thanks Lisa

After reading the reviews on Angie's list I chose Fullerton Electric. The owner was excellent and responsive. However the employee they sent, Pete, was less than average. I wanted my flat screen TV installed over the fireplace and I wanted additional outlets made in several rooms. From the beginning Pete was less than enthusiastic about the work. Even my housekeeper commented how he was "moaning & groaning" as he proceeded. He seems to be a competent electrician, but had no interest in the finished product. When he finished the outlets he left gaping holes in the drywall & thought that was o.k. One of the outlets in my daughter's bedroom still doesn't have a cover around it. The TV installation was a nightmare. Admittedly, it was difficult. The installer from Costco couldn't install it properly (electrical wires very visible). The problem was that the chimney made the installation very difficult. Pete worked on it but wasn't, very successful. I complained to the owner, Don Holly, who sent Pete back to do it right. It took him all day to install the TV. Don Holly also sent a painter to fix the gaps in the wall at the outlets, for which he didn't charge. I might be willing to hire them again, but only if they didn't send Pete to do the job.

The whole experience went very well. Don returned our call and worked with us on our availability. We ended up getting what we asked for and we even had his employee (Jeff) return to install more lights because they made our home look nice and the price was right. Jeff was polite, punctual and best of all knowledgeable.

I just told you the story. I reall;y have trouble remembering things anymore. I have a mobile home & I was told I was lucky they came at all. They said no other electrician would come out.
Description of Work: My electric was not working in half of my house. The first time someone came out he thought it was just the fuse box. It went out right away & I called them. It turned out to b e a major problem. They never did find the cause. They would only come out when they didn't have anything else to do. I was told the other jobs were more important. I guess my money wasn't as good. I think it took about 3 weeks. Everything seems to be working now & I just hope it stays that way.

Response from Fullerton Electric
Our first trip we resolved an issue with a tripping circuit breaker. After we left, another unrelated circuit breaker tripped which warranted the future service calls. We took this service call during an extremely busy time. We made an effort to resolve the issue as quickly as possible to keep the cost down. Unfortunately, the problem was more involved than the usual electrical service call. We value all of our customers and value their business. We would never tell a customer that they were less important than any other customer. Mobile homes are extremely difficult to work on and many contractors will not touch them for that reason. The repair was very involved and even required Don Sr.'s efforts, he has over 40 years experience as an electrician and a contractor.

Overall it went very well. I felt throughout as though the electrician knew his business and would see that my problem was solved.
Description of Work: For several weeks I had had problems with power outages in my home. These would occur at any time during a 24 hour day. On the 25th of February I had reached the point of having power in my living room, dining room and kitchen with the exception of my electric oven. For the second time in the last few weeks, my handyman came and 'rescued' my car from the garage and parked it in my driveway. He also ran an electric wire from my living room up my stairwell and into to my office to power my computer. I presumed that the cause of these outages was due to Edison. At this time I finally decided that I should call an electrician. Not knowing an electrician, I went to Angie's List and selected Fullerton Electric. From beginning to end I was impressed with the electrician's persistence in solving my problem. After a trip to my roof, he told me that I wasn't receiving input from Edison. He then spoke with the neighbors behind me, whose power came from the same pole in my yard. He found that only half their home had power and another home across the street also had power in half their home. He interacted with Edison and advised me that Edison would be working on the problem. Later he called me to tell me that Edison had completed work and that according to Edison I had full power in my home. My sister drove over to my house to check for me and I had full power restored. I did find this morning that my oven is still without power. I was so impressed with the electrician and his determination to solve my problem. As an older woman who lives alone, I felt confident that I could depend upon him. There is no doubt whom I will call for any future electrical problems. Patricia Richardson

I discovered Fullerton in Angies List. Don Holly responded promptly to our request for information . Their written quote was competitive with other quotes received. Upon detailed discussion of the scope of work and schedule, we employed Fullerton. They were willing to schedule the work with minimum disruption to our family. Their work was thorough, prompt and professional. I would recommend Fullerton Electric, without qualification, for any electrical work. I can't imagine a project of this kind going more smoothly.
Description of Work: Fullerton upgraded service from old 60 amp to new 200 amp service. Added new dedicated circuits for modern equipment. Arranged temporary power to minimize inconvenience. They recommended a professional contractor to perform plaster patching as required. Obtained appropriate permits and arranged for inspections and certifications.

I called Fullerton Electric after reading the reviews on Angie's List. They were very cooperative with scheduling a date to come to my house. I was getting no power to the outlet for my washer and dryer. Jeff arrived on the day scheduled after calling me to let me know he was on the way and his estimated arrival. He was thorough in checking for all the probable causes for my problem and was really nice about answering all of my questions. He found the trouble, repaired it and added a new outlet plate in under an hour. I will use Fullerton Electric for all my future electric needs.

I found this company on Angie's list. I liked the reviews. When I called the number, I got Don Sr. immediately. We arranged to meet at the house I'm moving to for an estimate. Don checked all the outlets in the house to confirm if all those with the three prong outlet were grounded; one was not. He covered the best and worst case scenarios for routing wire to all the outlets I wanted grounded. Best case was that they'd run the ground wire along with the romex when they built the house in 1960; after all some of the outlets were grounded. Worst case was cutting holes in walls and the high end of the estimate. He called me the next day with the estimate for the work. I can't remember what the low end was, but $1800 was the high end if ground wires had to be run to each of the outlets I wanted to ground. That included two Panasonic vent fans, one with a light. We were able to schedule the work to start the following Monday (of Thanksgiving week). I met Don and the assigned electrician, Pete, that morning, and we reviewed the work to be done. After opening a few outlets, we were not finding any lucky 1960 grounding wire. That shot the low end of the estimate out! Between that little hitch, and one of their commercial clients who was having an emergency, we agreed to try again the next day. The plan was to send a 2nd electrician to help Pete. Pete was able to come back that same afternoon and take care of installing the bathroom fans. The house did not make it easy. There was concrete in the way most of the places Pete needed to drill through. It took 4" hole saw cuts through the walls in many of the locations, so he could drill from the top. We were in the process of having everything painted at the time, so the holes were not as much of a hassle as they would have been otherwise. He was able to spare the one wall that had just been re-plastered perfectly smooth. It took a day and a half and many trips under the house to get all the targeted outlets grounded. That's in addition to the first afternoon installing the bathroom fans. I think I got my money's worth! I definitely plan to call Fullerton Electric again.
Description of Work: I'm about to move into a house build in 1960, and I wanted to get a few features that I appreciate from newer homes installed. I had vent fans installed in two bathrooms, a GFCI outlet replaced, outlets grounded in four rooms, and two telephone extension jacks moved to wall mounted plates.

He did an outstanding job. It was pretty expensive and I thought the price was fair. He was very professional and also very thorough. He made me feel like that I could leave my wife and kids and going forward we wouldn’t have the same problem. I thought it was going to be more than what he had charged. They were good and we would definitely want them to come more and visit us. I didn’t know about the cause and I just knew that I wanted it taken care of and it to work properly. I needed not to have a fire in my home and he assured me on every point that it was good to go and I haven’t had any problems since then.

The reason I took Mr. Holly out of all the other electricians was because he was the only electrician who told me what time he would get here. I expect a hundred per cent from anybody that I hire. The people from Fullerton Electric are very polite. They try to keep you comfortable; they are not rude or obnoxious and they don't bother you. Mr. Holly wanted me to be comfortable with the fan and TV set on, as well as the refrigerator. So, he made sure that all those three things were done. When my husband had questions, he would write them down and I would call Mr. Holly and convey those to him. And Mr. Holly would say it's no problem and would be taken care of the next day. The job was done in two days.

They did quite well and everybody was satisfied. They had a lot of reviews online for them and it turned out to be just like they said. They were very detail oriented. The cost was reasonable and the quality showed in the care and attention to detail. I didn’t pay for it but it was a good price. They were quick in responding. I just happened to work out with their schedule, so that worked out well. They were on time. We had no complaints at all.

The job was bid and completed within a very few days of my original telephone call to Fullerton Electric at exactly the quoted price. I was very particular about the placement of the lights, and the electrician was very patient as we marked the location of each can precisely. The job was completed in about a half-day and the clean-up was excellent. We have no reservations about calling them back for other work in the future.
