About us

My name is Luis Antonio Ramos – Tony. I am a California State Licensed Electrical Contractor (852516). My responsibility is to create a safe, comfortable, and attractive environment for my clients to live and work. Not all projects have to be big, but they should always increase the productivity and quality of my client’s life. I started my training as an electrician back in early 1990’s. I was a professional actor, and I also had a day job working for a contractor. I had an epiphany on stage. I saw how stage sets were lit for balance, drama, and visual impact. Why not take and use these techniques in a home? Or, why not take the theatre to your backyard? Frank Lloyd Wright said "Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union."​ Ludwig Mies van der Rohe believed “Less is more.” Tony Ramos says “Lighting doesn't have to be complicated. It has to be functional.” There are two types of electricians. The first type of electrician is the pipe and wireman. The second type of electrician is the light designer. It sounds simple, and it is when in the hands of a professional. These are two completely different types of skill sets within the same profession. Not all electricians have the talent or are qualified to do both. I am. A dramatic change has taken place in the lighting industry. Energy consumption, light color, light intensity, LEDs, dimming controls, and home automation are important considerations. A lack of standardization and and compatibility issues with products require an experienced electrician like myself. Why not create multiple ambiances for a room or increase the usage of your backyard using LEDs, low voltage lighting, and dimmers? Increase the security of your home and consider making your home “GREEN” by installing a home automation system. Contact me for a free estimate. I am an electrician and an artist: I paint with light!

These guys are amazing. they were super busy when I called but Tony spoke with me for a good long time and pointed me in the right direction. When I upgrade my panel this summer, the only company I will let go anywhere near my home is L.A.R. Really, look no further, i can't say enough how great these guys are and I have used them before years ago.

Toni came out to the condo and did a thorough analysis of the job. He explained out the job in detail. He spent about thirty to forty five minutes scoping out the job and explaining to me the work involved and possible problems he could incur. The following day, I received a detailed estimate by email. I accepted the estimate and we set a date to start. It took two days to complete the work, he worked hard and steady on both days. Toni did an excellent job putting in the fan and lights, it was a very difficult job, but Toni was able to work around all the obstacles get the fan and lights up. It was all done very professionally and the installation came out perfect. I highly recommend L.A.R. Services for your electrical needs.
Description of Work: Installation of Ceiling fan with switch (speed control and dimmer for light) in bedroom. Two light fixtures in livingroom with dimmer switch for both.

Tony came out initially to do do an inspection and estimate for fixing an outdoor light. After looking over the scope of the work, he emailed me a detailed estimate of the work, parts, and cost to complete this job. He was very punctual, cleaned up after himself, and everything works exactly like it should now. When the job was complete, he charged me less than the estimated amount because he didn't need to use some parts because they were in good working order.
Description of Work: Tony gave a free estimate to get an outdoor lamp set in a brick fixture working again. The previous owners of our house installed the wires incorrectly, did not bury them deeply enough, and did not set it to a switch. Tony moved the wires, installed a junction box, buried the wires, attached the wires to the same switch as the porch outdoor lighting, and installed an outdoor GFC plug.

Great experience! I could not recommend L.A.R. Services highly enough. Tony was extremely accommodating and flexible when it came to scheduling and pricing, and I can't imagine how the experience could have gone any more smoothly. When I called, he talked through my problem in enough detail to make sure that he wasn't wasting my money or my time. When we later realized that this was something that really needed his expertise, we were able to schedule a same-day appointment (although it may have helped that my house is close to his base of operation). Within minutes of examining the problem, Tony was quick to identify the source of the issue, talk me through the fix and apply the fix to my satisfaction. He was also extremely personable and he has quickly become my go to for all electrical jobs around the house.
Description of Work: I called L.A.R. Services to repair a recessed lighting fixture in my kitchen.

Tony is great; very accommodating with his time and pleasant to deal with. I've used him on several occasions and each time he does the work well and often saves me money (he once found a replacement switch for my utility panel that saved me over $1000 if I'd had to replace the whole thing). Would recommend him to anyone.
Description of Work: Created an additional outlet in my kitchen cupboard to accommodate my above the range microwave.

Tony was amazing. I thought I need a major retrofit and he had wonderful and practical advice that didn't cost me a dime. What a wonderful human being, I will use him in the future when I actually need work done. This is and honesty and integrity I haven't experienced in years.
Description of Work: I was having, old electrical box issues and Tony walked me through the fix. I felt I needed a complete panel replacement when, actually, I didn't. He asked me evaluation questions and we created a needs assessment. Afterward he pointed out I could spend a bunch of money to upgrade but that it wasn't really necessary at this time.

Perfect. The work was done professionally and he communicated exactly what needed to be done before he proceeded, so I understood the options I had. He made a lot of suggestions that I never would have thought of, and that was also appreciated. Great job and experience - will use him again!
Description of Work: Tony added some outdoor light switches and fixtures, as well as outlets. He trouble-shooted some older wiring in a gazebo as well for me.
