Frank showed up to bid the job and repaired the one problem at the same time. He came back after I accepted the bid and did the remainder of the work in about half a day. He provided all the items and supplies needed. We, ourselves, plugged, patched and painted the 6 or 8 holes in the walls and ceiling he had to make to do the wiring. Frank was easy to work with.
Description of Work: Repaired one problem. Came back and installed four new 4-plex outlets connected to 4 new circuit breakers

Frank returned my call very quickly and a time was set up for him to view/bid the job the next day. He was on time and made great suggestions for updating electrical work at a reasonable price. Frank set up a date and time within 3 days to do the work. He was reasonably priced and came with all supplies for the job. I liked that he was very organized and meticulous/precise about his work. He showed up on time and was very professional, honest/trustworthy and did the job in one day. He replaced a light fixture for me without cost, which was very nice of him. The place was left clean and neat. I found Frank to be very congenial.
Description of Work: Installation of six new recessed lights on a 3 way switch with new dimmer; new pendent light on a separate switch with dimmer, change of older plugs in three rooms, installation of three new lighting fixtures in bathrooms with dimmers, new dimmers in dining and entryway, and replaced lighting fixture in bedroom.

I have contacted another reputable company, who also happens to be in West LA. I have an appointment next week.
Description of Work: I bought a house and was told by the inspector that I have wiring from the city, tied to my house, that was temporarily taped and capped for the 2003 construction of the rear of my house. It should have been wired properly when the Certificate of Occupancy was issued. It was never done and I was told this is dangerous and needs to be permanently wired. Based on good reviews, I called Lighthouse Electric. The man was soft spoken and quite nice. I know he is in West Los Angeles; it says 3.63 miles on Angie's List (this is zip code to zip code). He refused to come to my house because I was not is West LA. I live 1 block from the Beverly Center and I know this is less than 3 miles from West LA, as I just moved from Westwood. I would say this vendor needs no more work if he's not willing to go 3 miles for a job.

Frank is an amazing electrician. This is the 3rd time we have used him and highly recommend him for everything. He even let my 3 year old son watch him and sort out some large bolts for him. When he was finished, he gave my son a tour of his truck and where he keeps the parts. Definitely the highlight of his visit. I can't find any drawbacks with his service and professionalism although I did have to nag him a few times to send us a bill (we should all have this problem with service professionals). His prices are extremely fair.
Description of Work: Frank replaced light panel, added 4 electrical outlets, added covers for our ceiling lights and placed a new Casablanca fan.

I contacted Frank about 2 weeks ago to talk about replacing outlets and switches in my home. He told me I could use self-grounding outlets because there wasn't a ground wire. He saved me money by giving me that free advice. When I had work that I could not do myself, I contacted Frank again. We set an appointment for the next day. On that day, he called to let me know that he had an emergency, so we rescheduled later in the week. Frank worked in a competent, efficient, professional and friendly manner. He gave great suggestions, which made my home look better for a little bit more money. I would definitely call Frank again if I needed more work done on my home and I would not hesitate to refer him to people who needed an electrician.
Description of Work: Installed GFI outlets in kitchen, bathroom and garage; installed a new outlet in guest bedroom; installed a cable plate in guest bedroom; and replaced 3 light switches, 2 dimmer switches and a fan switch.

I called Frank Thursday. No response. So I called again Friday, as I was panicked about having to go over the weekend without a stove. I hesitated, but finally called the emergency line/pager. He responded right away. He explained that it was probably just the WAY we had tried to reset the breaker. He tried to explain to me how to reset it, but I didn't listen because my spouse does all that and I assured him that my husband had tried several things to no avail. Frank was very patient and agreed to try to fit us in Friday late or Saturday morn. He finally called Saturday morn and swung by. He walked to the back, flipped the breaker, told me to plug the stove in again, and everything went back on fine! We were stunned! But he was very informative, and took a look at a couple of other issues we are considering fixing in the near future. Probably spent 25 minutes with us. He was very helpful. Was glad for all the Angie's List recommendations.
Description of Work: We have an older home with an older, funky electrical panel. The fumigators just came out and messed around in the panel. Afterward, the electric range in the kitchen no longer worked. The breaker was blown, but would not reset, no matter what we tried. My husband does most of our minor electrical stuff and is pretty adept. But this stumped us...

His outgoing message indicated he was on vacation during the time I called, and provided referrals for emergency response if needed. Frank called back (without prompting) immediately upon his scheduled return and arranged a visit. He inspected, made helpful suggestions as to how best to proceed, and quoted a finished price. Began work immediately, and worked full on for the time he was here. Performed the job neatly, and cleaned up thoroughly. I plan to use him again.
Description of Work: Brought in a 20amp dedicated line for a sauna. Involved adding breaker to outside electrical box, routing wires through foundation of a room addition, crawlspace work, and changing receptacle.

Response from LIGHTHOUSE ELECTRIC CO
I THINK THE MEMBER MIGHT HAVE CONFUSED ME WITH ANOTHER CONTRACTOR. I MET HER HUSBAND @ HIS LUNCH BREAK TO LOOK @ THE JOB & RETURNED TO THERE HOME WITH A PROPOSAL TWO DAYS LATER TO TRY TO HELP SAVE TIME ON THEIR PROJECT. I DO NOT NORMALLY HAND DELIVER MAIL. AS FAR AS CONFIDENCE, I HAVE BEEN A ELECTRICIAN FOR 25YRS & PRIDE MYSELF ON PROFESSIONALISM. I TRIED TO REACH THIS MEMBER BY PHONE TWICE, TO HELP BETTER UNDERSTAND THE TROUBLE, BUT DID NOT RECEIVE A RETURN CALL. I AM UNCLEAR AS TO THE TROUBLE BUT FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE.

I needed service in a HURRY, because the painter couldn't proceed with closing up the wall, until I had this hazardous electrical situation fixed. I called Frank at 5:00 in the afternoon, he responded to my call, within an hour and came out the following morning. He was courteous and knowledgeable, and didn't seem to mind that it was a small job. He took care of everything that needed fixing, within a half hour or so. I would definitely recommended Lighthouse Electric and will use Frank again in the future!
Description of Work: I had some drywall repair in progress, in the laundry room, in my condo and found that there were several electrical sockets just hanging inside the wall, that weren't grounded to anything. Frank removed the extra sockets and re-activated the original socket that had been covered up, by some previous owner. He checked my patio light and discovered that it was, simply burnt out. I thought it was broken and replaced the bulb.

Frank promptly returned my calls and showed up on time. He took the time to review the entire project in detail before starting and cleaned as he worked. He did a very good job for a fair price--I am totally satisfied!
Description of Work: Frank installed lights in the kitchen, living room and bathroom. The fixtures were a mix of surface mounted fluorescents and recessed incandescents.

Our overall experience was great. Frank was very prompt. At one point, we had to reschedule based on our calendar and Frank called back to follow up. We have not experienced such professionalism. We would definitely recommend Frank for any electrical job.

Frank arrived promptly as promised and was able to install the light fixture in spite of problems with the existing placement of the wiring. He figured out a creative way to install it without knocking another hole in the wall which saved us time and money. He was very pleasant and we would definitely hire him again. It did take a couple of days for him to return my call, but it had been raining heavily and none of the other electricians I had left messages with responded any sooner. He did apologize for not calling sooner and explained he had been very busy on emergency calls.
