He came out. my wife showed him what was going on, I spoke with the tech on the phone and told him what I did to locate the problem, he said he thought it would be something simple. When I got home from work everything worked, he even repaired a couple of loose GFI boxes, the tech did a great job, I would recommend them to anyone with an electrical problem.

Pros: (1) Sean, the owner, is responsive, customer-service focused, and maintains communication with his customers. He copied my address and phone number down wrong, which delayed the arrival of the electrician, but his secretary called after the electrician arrived to correct my contact information, check the status, and apologize for the delay. (2) The work was done by a qualified electrician and the hanging pendant lights look great! (3) The electrician vacuumed the floor and counter top after he was done and ensured I was satisfied with the work before he left. Cons: (1) It took James, the electrician, all day and two trips to Home Depot to get the lights hung, although he had my job description in advance and should have had at least some of materials with him when he arrived. (2) The original phone quote Sean provided of roughly $500 - $600 dollars, depending on whether I wanted 2 or 3 lights hung, was low. The final total was $705.60, which I felt was too high. (3) In addition to the 3 holes James had to punch in my wall to run wiring, he misjudged the placement of the new light switch, which created another hole that will have to be patched. He also left several marks on the ceiling that will have to be repainted.
Description of Work: Ran electrical wiring and switch boxes through wall and hung three pendant lights over counter top.

The whole team from Target Electric was phenomenal! Their office manager, Saskia, was very friendly and helpful in terms of coordinating schedules. Sean, the owner, was great on discussing options and pricing that would fit within our remodel budget. The onsite techs, Bill and Damien, were amazing, calling with status updates when I was away from home, and working seamlessly with the other contractors in the house. The whole team took the fear factor out of a sizable electrical upgrade, making sure the process of updating the electrical in the 60-year-old home we just purchased was painless and affordable. I would absolutely use them again without hesitation (and actually have some additional work lined up for them already), and have already passed their information along to our realtor as well for any future clients who may need quality electrical work on their new purchase. Thank you, Sean, Bill, and the rest of the Target Electric team for your amazing work!
Description of Work: Replaced 1 sub-panel and retrofit another, replaced all switches and outlets, installed a ground rod to ground electricity in backhouse/granny flat, installed 3 fan-rated ceiling boxes and mounted 1 fan (the other rooms were being textured), removed power and trim from 3 oddly placed can lights, installed 6 new LED can lights on a dimmer switch, adjusted the height of a couple of outlets, small re-route of kitchen power for upcoming remodel, and activation of a few dead outlets.

I called Target electric because my microwave oven all of a sudden went off so I figured the kitchen outlet failed. I was able to get an appointment within the week. The owner Sean showed up within the time frame promised. He was able to quickly diagnose and fix the problem by replacing the outlet wiring. He did inspect the outlets of my entire house. He advised me on what needs to be replaced which I appreciated because I have a 30 yr old home. Thanks , Sean.

I will consider hiring Target electric for my next electrical project.
Description of Work: I tried to make arrangements to have a ceiling fan installed in my home. I was told the business manager would call me. She never did. Sean did contact me after finding out that I was not called by the business manager and apologized. His professionalism and his willingness to correct the mistake his company made convinced me to update my review.

Response from Target Electric & Solar
Thanks for taking our call today. I am very sorry we did in fact miss this call back from our previous talks. This is a very rare occurrence with us. It was a miscommunication on our end that was no fault of the customer. We reached out and are still available to help in any way if we still have that opportunity. We sincerely apologize again for any time that may have been lost. Thank you.

Bill Bloom was the service technician and he was super nice and knowledgeable. He had the problem fixed in under an hour and also did some other tweaking (that's a technical term) of circuits and an outlet. Of course, I wish the price was lower but I think it was worth it for work done on a Sunday. It sure is nice having power in the bathrooms again! If I need an electrician again, I hope I can pick Bill. He seemed very trustworthy.
Description of Work: Fixed faulty circuit to mirrored bathroom cabinet. The faulty circuit had caused power to go out in both bathrooms.

James called me before he arrived. He was very polite and thorough. He went around the back of the house to check the electrical box and marked the circuit breaker for the two laundry machines, which is a great help to me. The new GFCI is warrantied and works without any problems. I asked what their hourly labor cost is, and he explained that they charge by the job, excluding parts, and that may or may not be beneficial to me in the future. I would have to compare their price for a job with electricians who charge by the hour, excluding parts.

This company really came through and helped me immensely. I texted him my tenant's phone number, he called him and walked him through troubleshooting the problem. He then called me right after their conversation to inform me they were able to solve the problem over the phone! Sure enough, it was a tripped switch! I am a grad student and do not have a regular income right now, so, needless to say, I was thrilled with the outcome. I have an electrical project down the road and he will be the one I call.
Description of Work: I called and spoke with Sean, the owner, because I needed an electrician on an emergency basis to fix the power outage at my house in San Diego. I understand having to pay emergency rates, but I have tenants living in my house while I am living in Texas and don't have a money tree to pay for false alarms. My worry was that he would get out to the house, find that indeed a breaker was tripped, flip a switch, and then send me a big fat bill. And that's what would have happened had he not been honest, decent, and kind enough to call my tenant and walk him through a few things first, to make sure it was not that just a simple fix. He mentioned several times in the conversation that "I'm here to help you." I felt like he says that because he really sincerely wants to help you.
