Very professional, prompt service, and the owner called to confirm our satisfaction.
Description of Work: We had recessed lighting installed in 3 rooms, and outdoor lighting as well. The two men who did the work were very helpful, friendly and efficient. The work was excellent and they were very clean. It took one day to finish the job. We were very satisfied and will always use this company.

First off there are A LOT of electrician's and electric companies out there and plenty with good reviews on A's List. I wanted to find someone who was local and send my business his way. Keep small businesses healthy! It was a very pleasant experience. Keith the owner came over to give me an estimate on the work I wanted/needed to get done. He gave me several options and was willing to work within my budget--no pressure to do everything right away. The two men who work for him were great. I was there the whole time watching and asking questions and they were more than happy to take the time with me. I will definitely call on Keith and his guys to come back when I need more work done.
Description of Work: Installed new electrical panel, installed outside waterproof outlet and other trouble shooting.

This company did a great job. The electrical work was completed as discussed in the estimate. Keith was very upfront about potential cost increases that might arise in completing the work (though we didn't get close to the upper limit of these extras.) They were done ahead of schedule. In the process, Keith suggested something else we might want to have added; it was a smart suggestion and I'm glad we followed his advice. They swept up after completing the work.
Description of Work: Re-wiring entire house. Adding new interior outlets and replacing old fixtures. Also, adding exterior lighting and outlets.

We were very happy. They showed up when they said they were going to show up. They worked until they were done and they cleaned up their work afterwards. They were reasonable. It was a positive experience. They were here right away. They were very communicative. They called in the morning and said what time they were going to be here. They showed up within 5 minutes of when they said they were going to show up.
Description of Work: They were upgrading our electrical service to the home.

We would never use anyone else. Keith and his guys are professional, honest and fair. We've used them several times before and trust that they will do an excellent job--which they have! Our electrical is quite complicated--it seems Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck wired the house back when it was built in 1951. We've since upgraded, but because of the flat roof and no crawl space or attic, it takes some thought. Price wise Keith is always fair--he doesn't overcharge unnecessarily. I highly recommend him.
Description of Work: Wind damage took out the electrical conduits on our roof. Keith's guy came out and repaired/rewired everything.

It was a smooth project from start to finish and I would not hesitate to use Keith and his company again.
Description of Work: We contacted Keith at Johnson Electrical to install some recessed lights in three rooms of our house and we are absolutely thrilled with the work they performed. Keith took care of all permits with our city and made my life much easier. We were so happy after day one that by day two we decided to add additional lights to one of the rooms.

Keith came out and after extensively looking the house over, gave me 3 different options on how to proceed. I was very impressed with his honesty and interest in doing what I wanted. His crew came out and did a terrific job of doing the project as well as any other "things" that would pop up. I was always contacted and walked through what was encountered. I am very happy with the job and would use Keith again in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: Had a new panel installed and a complete rewire of the house. also, had 6 recessed lights installed

We had two salvaged street lamps lighting our parking area. At some point, a short developed and the lamps were not usable. We called Johnson's, and they came out to survey the situation. While troubleshooting, they disconnected the interior switch from its power source, so we would not trip the breaker again. They gave an estimate for running new conduit to the lights, stating it would be less expensive then trying to find the existing conduit and repair the damage. We agreed. They came on the agreed upon date and ran the new underground conduit and wired up and installed new fixtures with dusk-to-dawn sensors. That night we had light. It was a job well done, on time and on budget.
Description of Work: Repair shorted exterior lights by digging trenches for new new conduit and running new wiring through the attic to connect to the conduit.

It went well. At first, I felt the person scheduling didn't want to commit to a time. They seemed a little bit vague about picking out a date and time, but I was persistent because of my busy schedule.
Description of Work: I called them because my new A/C compressor would cause all the lighting within the house to dim when the compressor kicked on and once it threw the breaker. They evaluated breaker box and found several blow fuse assemblies. Replaced those.

We bought a house in Pasadena that had all sorts of issues, the electrical being something that needed to be fixed right away. The house had its original wiring and 6 outlets. It was a two story home powered by a 60 amp panel. Great in the 1930's. Not so great in 2011. Keith came out and looked at the electrical. He said it would be like rewiring a brand new house. He was punctual, honest and very fair. We ended up walking away from the house, but we found another home which needs someone to finish updating the wiring. I was impressed by Keith's honesty, that I will be calling him.
Description of Work: needed an estimate on removing and replacing knob and tube wiring add new outlets and light fixtures and a new 200 amp panel

Electricity went out on a part of my condo so I called Johnson Electrical based on Angie's List review and close proximity to my place. A technician (forgot his name) arrived in 1 hour as promised on time. I thought the circuit breaker fuse blew but turns out it was just one of the outlets that burned out. He tested all the outlets, switched out the problematic one and figured out why another outlet that has not been working well. Overall a good experience and although we could have fixed the problem ourselves (all in hindsight), it felt more assuring to have a professional take care of it.
Description of Work: Fixed loss of electricity, switched out burned outlet

They were fast and professional. They gave us a quote for the job, and then prices for anything extra that we wanted. They were in and out in 2 days! My husband, who did electrical work in NY, was impressed. I would use them again in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: We had them put in a 200 AMP panel at our house. They pulled all the wire and replaced. They added 3 circuits to the panel (they gave us 6 included in putting in the panel) and then added 3 outlets to the existing outlets in the room.

I am pretty sure I got them off the list. I probably spent about $2000 with them. I think that the team was great. They knew what they were doing and were clean. They spent a lot of time in the house, but were very courteous with my family and just overall they had some quality people who I would enjoy using again and certainly would recommend to others. The thing I liked about them is that it is a fixed rate, so I know what I am going to get exactly before they start. Sometimes it is a little more if it is something not very simple, but overall I know what I am going to get, it is good a value and they do good work. I had an experience with them where they installed a whole series of lighting in one room and through incandescent lightings. The next day I did not like it, so I had them come back and take everything out and they worked with me on the price and replaced everything with the fixtures that I wanted.
Description of Work: I use Johnson Electric for electrical services. The last time I used them was a year ago for installation of incandescent lighting 3 rooms and I think they also did some re-wiring of certain outlets and change locations of the outlets and dim lights, installation of lighting through the attic and electric.

I could not have been more pleased!!!!!!! I am thankful for this company.
Description of Work: For some odd reason half of the electricity in our house stopped working. I called Johnson Electric first thing in the morning and they were I had an electrician at my house within 2 hours. Miguel showed up, methodically searched for the cause. WE needed a neutral line. He installed one through the attic. Before I knew it it was lights on. He checked every light that had gone out to make sure everything worked. This is the second time we used Johnson Electric. When the need arises again, there will be a third time.

I called Johnson Electric because my bathroom outlets were not working and the fuse box did not indicate a problem. After asking me some troubleshooting questions, Keith asked me if I had pushed the reset button on the electrical outlets. Since only one of the three outlets had a reset button and none of the outlets were working, I had not thought could be the problem. He instructed me to push the reset button on the one because ofttimes several outlets are connected, and, voila, problem solved without a visit. Keith was very helpful and professional over the telephone and I would contact him again if I encounter any electrical problems.

I bought a house that was built in 1910 and still had the old wiring. Keith Johnson came over, inspected the house and took the time then to give me the estimate. He came the first day with the workers but after that they came on their own. The specific costs for doing anything beyond the original work order were clear. I did add some new outlets, circuits, and switches but it was clear from the beginning how much anything besides the rewiring would cost. He did make some suggestions, a new circuit for air conditioner, for example, but was never pushy. Mr. Johnson would also call me regularly to see if I had any questions or concerns. The workers were great, very polite and friendly. They had to make a lot of holes to get rid of the old wiring later the plasterer commented on how small and clean the holes were. They restored old lights that I didn't even know I had, like these cool odd lights that were part of the old bathroom cabinet.

The worker arrived on time and replaced the equipment as requested, however he did not check to see if the thermostat was operational. When I got home the AC/heater did not function. I worked with the settings for several hours before calling the company. When I called, all they could offer was to replace it with my old thermostat. I was disappointed that he didn't confirm that this thermostat would work and that he didn't even confirm that the system was operational before he left. They sent another technician out two days later and replaced the new (non-operational) themostat with the old one.
