Ambient Electric Inc

I loved their service and working with them. The was a coupon that was on their site that I wanted to use, but it was not applicable for what I was doing, since I was upgrading my electrical panel. The description of the coupon sounded like it was exactly what I would have used it for, but there was one requirement with the cold water connection that didn't qualify due to my pipe being longer than 20 feet. I did have to call them back a few times and they came back right away to patch up some piping on the roof that was leaking. When they did install the panel and labeled the barkers; it did not seem like the labels were correct. I asked them about it, but I ended up relabeling that myself. They also found another company for me to the do the exterior stucco.

Eli and his crew arrived on time. They are very professional and did an excellent job. I would highly recommend Ambient Electric and I would definitely hire them again.

As we were preparing to start on a room addition to our house next summer it made sense to lay the ground work early and get the electricity within the house upgraded to support the additional loads. This involved the requirement of upgrading our main load panel from 100 amps to 200 amps. Which then also required bringing our electrical drop from the city up to code as well. In October we had Eli out for a general estimate and to get ideas on how to proceed. Eli listened and made pertinent suggestions on how we could accomplish our goals, brought up possible issues we could encounter, and supplied a written estimate. Eli was both knowledgeable in his craft and easy to talk with. The price was within our budget. Come November we were ready to proceed and I again had Eli out to go over some of the additional changes and finalize the contract. We went through. step by step, what would happen and in what order (I am kinda perfectionist). Work started on time as planned the next week. Eli's crew is prompt, clean, friendly, and know what they are doing. They were done on time, with minimum electric down time. No issues and lots of praise for their work and on the job demenor. Great people! The whole thing was actually a pleasant experience, and dare I say, a lot of fun. When the time comes to start on the room addition I will be calling Ambient again.

They are definitely extremely professional and I will give them an “A” on all the categories. Their professionalism, flexibility, courteous service and always showed up on time really stood out to me.

They were extremely professional. I thought they had a fair price. They handled everything on time and were nice to have around. They did a good job, the only draw back was that they failed to understand the needs for a senior citizen.

From start to finish Eli and his crew were the most courteous + professional workers I've ever hired. I really can't recommend them enough - they walked me through the paper work, organised all the inspections, did a perfect job repairing the stucco work afterwards. They were always on time, always cleaned up themselves.

They responded immediately to my request for service with Roman coming out the next day for an estimate. Their bid was extremely fair and most importantly, the job was done when promised (they actually called me to see if they could come a day earlier to which I was thrilled) and done to perfection! They are conscientious and very courteous. I would recommend them to anyone who needs electrical work. In a perfect world every, contractor would be like the guys at Ambient. Thanks Roman and Mike!

Ambient did not perform the service, however Eli made the extra effort to come out to my home and check the electrical panel prior to any work being done. And he also reached out to the electric company to check on the main line. He was very professional and helpful. I am not using Ambient's services because I have decided to go a different direction. I would not hesitate to call Ambient in the future.

Had electricians from this company out on 2 different days: once to replace my old panel, and the second time to diagnose a mystery problem that turned out to be an error my buddy made when re-wiring switches for me. Every one of them worked hard the entire time they were here. They were courteous to my kids, showed up on time, and did a neat/clean job. The city inspector said he rarely sees new panels come out this well. I have nothing but good things to say about them and will definitely use them again.

Eli and crew did a great job all in one day. His quote was $800 less that the contractor doing the addition on our home. This is my second time I have used Eli. He completely rewired a small 1000sq ft. house in N Hollywood and upgraded service to 200 amp.

Eli and his crews are wonderful! we have an older house so something almost always go wrong when we open walls and this was no exception. Eli and his guys rolled with the punches and no matter what went wrong they either fixed it or had someone come out and fix it. They have access to a ton of outside resources who also provide excellent services at a great price. I highly recommend this company, They did great work and I am already scheduling my next service with them :).

The work started as discussed. The crew arrived on-time. During the evening after work as completed realized that my sprinkler system and the ceiling fan which was working in the morning before work stopped working. I told their crew and was told we did not touch the ceiling fan and sprinkler system therefore do not take responsibility for the work that was not carried out even though they install ceiling fan in other room and installed sensor lights. Their crew told me we checked the circuit and everything is working fine. Was repeatedly told that my appliances were not working before and sort of gave me the impression I'm trying to sneak in the work to get it done for free. Had a conversation also indicating I did not want to pay where in there crew did not even ask for the money. On the same night I noticed that whenever sensor light is turned on my ceiling fan which stopped working had a light - that will turn on without ceiling fan being working. As soon as sensor light turns off the fan light would turned off as well. I called them they came next day. They were able to fix the light issue but was told my fan which was working before had nothing to do with their work therefore they need complete installation done or replace fan which will take another $170. I was also charged $75 for the visit even though it was issue on their side and ended up sprinkler system and ceiling fan not working after the work. Next day I called my sprinkler guy. He told me both the adaptors have been short circuited and had to be replaced and he confirmed it is due to electric work that was carried out. Had to spent another $$ to get sprinkler system corrected. ------------- I also conclude that the company is pretty dishonest and do not own to their work and issues caused.

We were searching for an electrician to install fans/lights in our condo and Ambient Electric responded quickly and gave us a rough estimate of how much it would cost! They were friendly and quick to respond! We ended up going with a family friend who said they could do what we needed!

AWESOME JOB. The Ambient technicians came on time, in fact a little early. They went right to work, covering the floor, and setting up. The guys were wonderful. They put a new box in the ceiling and connected the power. They put the fan together and installed. It was quick, clean, and easy. I was so happy with their work I think they will be hanging some patio lights for me.

It went very well. Eli was very nice and answered all my questions. When we got the bad news from LAWP that we had to move the electric box I called Eli on Friday afternoon and made arrangements to do this move Monday. He also made arrangements to have it done in one day instead of two days because I made all these appointments for Tuesday and I needed electricity. He really helped me out. I will defiantly call him for my future electrical needs and I would highly recommend!!!

What I thought was an AC Compressor problem turned out to be an electric nightmare as my breaker panel was melting. Found Ambient Electric on Angie's List and was lucky to do so. They walked me through the process of replacing the box and kept me sane though my dealings with the Los Angeles Dept. of Water and Power who required me to move the box to the other side of my house. While DWP caused great delay in the work, Ambient did a tremendous job in moving my power. The job lasted a bit longer than we all hoped as the work was incredibly difficult. But the crew was there on time every day and worked all day to get the job done. Ambient worked with me all the way and I couldn't be happier with the end result. I highly recommend them for all your electric work.

They were punctual, knowledgeable and reliable.

They are honest and responsible. He offered to pay up half for a pond that we blew up due to a wiring issue.

Late one Sunday afternoon my circuit breaker went up in flames. After the fire diffused itself and the LAFD departed, I found Ambient Electric via Angie's List. (Big thanks to the reviewers!) I left a voice message to which I received a call back from Eli within a hour! It was a SUNDAY evening. Eli said he would have a crew at my home the next morning at 8:30am. As Eli promised, Roman and Oscar arrived on time and they went to work. Meanwhile, Eli hustled to get in touch with the City before a certain time of the day in order to pull the permit and arrange for a spot check inspection. (Despite installing a new breaker in the exact spot in which the old sat, the City must approve the spot.) Later in the day, Eli joined Roman and Oscar. All three are courteous, clean (in both appearance and work space), and knowledgable. The crew discovered that my electrical system had not been properly grounded so they went about that, too. The three-man team worked until after the sun went down to successfully restore my power and correct the grounding. Despite the late hour and their long day, they attempted to resolve an issue they discovered when testing the new circuits (clothes dryer circuit), labeled the circuits, and swept up all debris. We scheduled a later appointment to repair and install a dedicated dryer circuit. Per the request of my insurance company, Roman and Oscar collected and sat aside the destroyed panel, circuits and wires, while keeping all in the best condition as possible. About one month after the panel replacement, Eli contacted me to see if the work that LADWP required for the permit- a three foot raised platform under the panel - had been done. True to his word (and despite having been paid in full), Eli is taking care of the job from start to finish. If pluses were available for the A grades, Ambient deserved them for the professional work provided at my home.

We called Ambient Electric based on a POH article in the Angie's List magazine and were definitely not dissapointed. We spoke to Eli who said he could come over right away and was there within 20 minutes. He opened up the breaker panel and determined our problem was loose breakers. He reseated the breakers and every thing worked properly again. He definitely knows his business and is very personable. As our breaker panel is over 35 years old he said that the type of breakers used are no longer available and recommended eventually replacing the panel. He showed us a few places where arcing had occurred and we agreed the panel would soon need to be replaced. He also charged us less than the quoted rate for the service call. We will definitely use him again and will probably have him replace the panel later in the summer.

I called Ambient Electric on Thursday and reached Eli, who said he could have a man out at noon on Friday. On Friday, the man, Roman, called around 11:30 AM to say he would be about 30 minutes late and called a little later to say he was on his way. Roman solved the worst problem, no power at the kitchen island, in about 15 minutes and then took care of three or four other tasks, including a clever fix to an overhead light in which the pins on the bulb were not making contact with the socket. He completed everything in about 40 minutes. Thoroughly professional. A very satisfactory experience.

They were able to find a subcontractor for us that was able to dissasemble the mirror. They were then able to replace the balasts and reinstall the mirrors. They also took care of patching the wall and everything looks just like it did before. We were very happy with the service.

They were on time and did an excellent job. They were reasonable and the work was very good. I would like to use them again but they don't come up to Carpinteria any more.

My experience in using Ambient Electric in general was very good. They were extremely professional and they cleaned up very, very well. They were here for 2 days and at the end of the first day it was totally clean. My wife and I were extremely happy. Just finding that one company probably made our Angie's List membership worth it. They were great and if we need more electrical stuff we would call them first. They were on time.

They were courteous, knowledgeable and prompt. I would highly recommend using them!
