From start to finish, Armes Electric was fabulous! The communication ahead of time was flawless, with Pete and his office answering any questions I had… and even e-mailing me a link to the part I would need so that I could order it myself and save some money. I had a replacement bathroom fan installed, as well as some light switches (dimmer) fixed. Armando and Collin were FABULOUS! They were so nice, efficient, and did everything in a very short amount of time. It surprised me how quickly they were able to get everything done.

WOW!!! I talked with David on the phone and he coached me through removing a broken light bulb that was stuck in a recessed lighting socket. I was greatly impressed with David's HONESTY AND INTEGRITY!!! He saved me what would have been a $200 visit. IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR AN ELECTRICIAN THAT'S OUT FOR YOUR BEST INTEREST, THAN GO WITH ARMES ELECTRICAL INC!!!!

Pete Armes, owner of Armes Electric, is our Christmas hero! Right after Christmas breakfast was cooked, my adult daughter noticed that the refrigerator light had suddenly gone out, and we eventually realized that much of the kitchen’s electricity was out. Switching the circuit breaker didn’t work, so my husband called Pete, as they had done an excellent job of putting in a new electrical outlet for a new garage opener a year ago. Pete was honest, kind, and gracious to interrupt his own Christmas morning to figure out what was wrong over the phone and SAVED THE DAY! This was the second time we have been impressed. A year ago, Markus had also been prompt, came out for the bid very quickly, communicated clearly what he would do and returned at a time convenient to us to finish the job extremely well so we could get our garage door in record time. Since we and most of the Saddleback Valley have homes between 40 and 20 years old, it is a nightmare to have an electrical emergency on a holiday. Armes Electric has proven to us several times that they put the homeowner first and that they are impeccable in their trustworthiness and service. We had used other highly regarded electrical companies in the past but we are convinced that Armes Electric is the BEST! Thanks, Pete, Markus, and the staff!

it was masterful --- not only did the repair tech determine the source of the problem lickety-split and fix it; he also went a step further to assure that our home was originally wired correctly and found that all of our GFCI labelled outlets were not in fact wired as such, corrected the wiring gaff and installed updated GFCI's to assure our family's safety --- oh, yes, he also fixed an outdoor light as an encore - and this was done quickly and efficiently!!!! This is the second time we have utilize their service and could not be happier (and now we are safer!!!)

I called and talked to Pete, the owner, on a Saturday evening. He asked me about the problem, and advised me, based on what I described, to call SCE because to him it sounded like it was related to their power feed from the street. He further advised that if that was the problem they would fix it at no cost. He said if that was not the problem, then he would arrange to come over and diagnose further, but was pretty sure it was a SCE issue. In fact, Pete was right, SCE service came Saturday night and diagnosed the problem, and is fixing it. So thank you Pete for your integrity and sound advice, and for offering to do what it takes to resolve the issue, even if there is no financial benefit. You can be sure that when I need a licensed electrician, I'll be calling Armes.

Both technicians were polite, did quality work and worked well together. the initial estimate was $400 - $500 for the outlet. Since the final placement of the outlet was 12 feet from where the electrical entered the garage they charged $750. $250 - $350 for 12 feet of conduit and wire seemed expensive, but i don't know what the going rate should be.

Armes was prompt, and thorough in their installation. They worked quickly, addressed a minor repair not in the scope of work, but needed, and left the area as clean as when they arrived. Would hire again should I need an electrician.

Danny and Aaron texted when they were 10 minutes out to advise that they were en route. Upon arrival, they were courteous, friendly and professional. We went over the options for the size of the down rod and the placement of the remote control holder. They put down plastic to protect carpet and furniture. When they were finished, they vacuumed up any residual dust. From their arrival to the time I was making payment, it took about an hour and a half. It's only day one, but the fan looks to be well balanced and it works as expected. I am very happy with the work and their professionalism. I would use them again and I would recommend them to others. As for the price, it was on par with quotes I got from two other companies.

I have a smell in my hallway that I thought to be an electrical problem. I called these guys and they were here within a couple of hours. They were very professional and went over and beyond to try to find the cause of the problem. While they were here we also got a quote on a new electrical panel. We will be using them for that as well as any future electrical needs. I would highly recommend them to my friends, family, and anyone on Angie's List. ( the owner is probably one of the nicest guys I've ever done business with)

Called Armes to do some electrical work. They were able to accomodate me for the time and day I needed. Ty showed up on time, looked at what needed to be done, gave an estimate, and told me the scope of work needed and how he would do it. He was careful not to damage anything in my home with his ladder and tools. When he was done, he cleaned up after himself and put the furniture back to where it was. He charged the same amount as the estimate he gave, no surprises! Ty is a true professional, and Armes Electric is as well. Recommended!!

FINALLY, a fix for a home electrical problem we've endured for so many years. Nobody was ever able to determine the root of the problem until Ethan took a look at the issue. We've had the issue researched on 2 prior occasions and the intermittent problem still existed. Some of our outlets weren't getting power occasionally. Ethan found a "sketchy" wire located in the fuse box which had been causing the problem, replaced the wire and now all is well. This is the second time I've used Armes and they've now solidified their "go to" status for all of our electrical issues.

Not knowing exactly what I'd done at the time I figured it would be a good time to call a professional and that meant I'd better check Angie's List. Ames Electric was at the top of the list in my area so that's where I placed my call. While no one was in the office on a Saturday, there was an emergency number to call. My savior, Pete, called me within minutes and asked me a couple of questions and had me step through a couple of things which led me to the solution. He called back to follow up and I told him thanks and that we'd be using Ames in all future electrical needs. THANKS, Pete
Description of Work: Thought I might require an emergency visit as I'd done some "custom" work on some of our outdoor lighting. Of course we were hosting a party that evening when my wife yelled from the kitchen that we'd lost our lighting on the first floor. OOPS!
