City Lights Electric is a full service family owned Electrical Company in the Los Angeles and Santa Clarita area providing a wide range of quality services. No job too small; all work guaranteed. And don't forget we are pet friendly.
After installing a flat-screen TV to our bedroom wall, installers were getting sparks when trying to connect the TV to the cable box. City Lights Electric spent several hours trying to trace the source of the problem which they determined was caused by an adjacent wall wiring. Apparently, dry wall installers had put a nail through wiring when repairing that wall. City Lights Electric bypassed the problem wall with new wiring and repaired a switch, all of which eliminated the TV connecting problem. One of the men returned a few days later to correct a very minor issued of an on/off switch that was inverted during the repair. I was very please the overall work done by City Lights Electric. The men were very personable, courteous and professional. To the best of my knowledge, the rates were very much within reason.
Description of Work: Trace and repair an electrical short that occurred when attempting to connect cables from a cable box to a new wall mounted TV.

Anthony and Chris worked quickly and efficiently, and we were impressed with the skill they showed in diagnosing problems and doing repairs. Because they did such a fine job, I began a "to-do" list of other electrical repairs. Anthony said he'd call after the holidays to set up another appointment. We are delighted we have found Anthony, and will call him whenever we need an electrician.
Description of Work: Anthony's responsiveness and professionalism were exactly as reported in his excellent ratings. He answered my phone call right away, and arranged to meet at our home. He inspected the scope of work, and estimated the cost to rewire four beautiful outdoor light fixtures that had shorted out. After removing the fixtures, he taped off the posts to waterproof the areas where the lanterns had been removed, (which was great because it turned out that it rained that night.) Because we would have no illumination in the front of our house until the repairs were completed, he said he would endeavor to complete the rewiring and return our fixtures quickly. I was very surprised and pleased when he called just a few days after removing them to tell us that the fixtures had been completely rewired and were ready to be reinstalled. He and Chris returned with the lanterns. They even polished the beveled glass panes so the fixtures looked wonderful. They investigated and repaired several other electrical problems that hadn't been part of the original scope of the job. We were completely satisfied. It's great to find a company with pride of workmanship and a strong work ethic.

Anthony and his father Umberto, were very detailed and thorough in their planning and installation of a new electrical panel on our home. They are very knowledgeable. He contacted the DWP and also took care of permits and inspections needed. All the work was done neatly and he even labeled all of the breakers. He was always on time and even did the job during the weekend as I was unable to take off from work. His price was very fair and he answered any questions I had regarding any other electrical issues I may have . I highly recommend him on any electrical work you may have. I would use his services again if needed in the future!

Anthony is hands-down the best electrician I've ever hired. This is the second time I've used his services, and he was responsive, prompt, and very courteous on each job. He arrived exactly on time. Not only was he great at problem-solving and locating the issue, but he was helpful in explaining why the patio had lost power and how he was going to fix it. Water had seeped into the pipe that carried the wiring for the whole patio, and Anthony and his associate expelled the water, replaced all the wiring, located where the water was getting in and sealed it off. After finishing he and his partner set all the patio furniture exactly as it had been before, and picked up every single snippet of wire from the job. Considering all the work he had done, when I asked him how much I owed him and he told me the price I felt like it was a steal! And how often can you say that? I'm very satisfied with the work he has done. Nothing beats having a service provider you can trust, and City Lights Electric is exactly that.

I called for an estimate to install a dedicated circuit for home office equipment. They responded the same day and made an appointment for two days following. They called to say they would be late for the appointment. After examining the electrical panel and the room layout, the worker said they would be able to do the work and that I would receive an estimate. I never received the estimate. I even called the company two days later and left a voice mail, but never got a call back. Very bad service, if you ask me.

We had never worked with Anthony but saw he was highly rated on Angie's List so we took a chance and called. I got his answering machine, but before I could complete my message, I saw he was already calling me back! He was up front that he was on a big job and could not come for 2 days. We discussed the problem and he ran through a few things we could do ourselves (check the breakers, check the GFIs). We had already ruled those items out, but he was so genuinely helpful, we decided to wait the two days (just manually lighting the stove in the meantime). We made the appointment for 9 am yesterday. I was worried about the cost, and he assured me that most likely, whatever it was would probably only cost a couple hundred bucks at the most. I remember looking at the clock at 8:56 am thinking, well, I wonder if he will be on time. I glanced out the window, and his truck was there already - he was early and waiting for 9. He came in and assessed the situation (including a thorough inspection of my century old breaker box, which he warned me about), figured out the problem and fixed it. He was done with everything in about 30 minutes. He charged me only $100 (not $200). He was very polite, professional, informed and fair. We would definitely use Anthony again.
Description of Work: We purchased and installed a new cooktop, and realized that the electric outlet that supplied the ignition didn't have any power coming into it.

Despite old wiring and difficulty mounting to the ceiling condition, Anthony came and took care of the problem. He was great about being reached on a weekend, and returned all phone calls promptly. His price was extremely fair. I would call him for any electrical work in my home. This was a small job, but he took it seriously and took care of us in a professional manner.

Description of Work: Call City Linghts for an estimate on relocating and upgrading junction box in masterbath. An appoint was made for 9 AM 8/3/12. Anthony De Luca and his associate were punctual. Anthony gave my husband an estimate and although we thought the materials charge was a little on the high side, he said he could do the work right then. It was worth every penny.

When I first called Anthony, he made an appointment with me that fit our schedules and showed-up on time. I was presented with the estimates soon after. We made another appointment before the job was to be scheduled to walk thru the work one more time. The actual work appointment was made. We thought that it may be a 2 day job, but they were able to complete in one day. I did scale down a bit from the original work effort. Again, I am so please with the results!
Description of Work: We had 6 recessed lights with switches, installed and a ceiling fixture relocated. Anthony and a worker arrived around 9:00 AM and worked non-stop to 6:00 PM to complete the job in one day. With the initial estimated, Anthony informed me that I may need some drywall patching and paint touch-up. However, to my surprise, he was able to complete the job with no patching needed! Unbelievable!. Tony and his worker were thoughtful and meticulous with the work at hand. I am so please with the result. I know that we'll have future jobs with Anthony.

Anthony was very prompt and professional. I left a message that I needed work done and Anthony called me right back. He let me know that he was currently on another job so we scheduled a time for him to come out. On the appointed day he was actually early. He gave me an estimate for all of the work that I needed to have done, and he provided a written estimate by email later that day. Prior to the scheduled appointment to do the work, they reconfirmed by email when they would arrive. They were on time and the work was completed quickly, and completely. This is the best experience I have had with electrical contractors. They were very professional and their prices are very reasonable. When I have used electricians in the past I felt that they were inflating their prices. This is not the case with City Lights. I have complete trust in this company and will definitely call them again for any electrical work. They are the best!!
Description of Work: Anthony installed two new ceiling fans, a new porch light, a brand new attic fan, and a new smoke detector. In addition he inspected my pool lights.

The riser pipe coming up from my electrical panel had somehow gotten knocked over and I got a notice from the city that it had to be fixed. Anthony came out, gave me an estimate, and then got the job done professionally and quickly. He replaced the riser pipe with a new one and replaced the wires inside. He even fixed a light switch inside my house for free. Definitely recommend.
Description of Work: replace riser pipe with new 200 amp rated riser, with new 3/0 wire with weather head and wire holder.

He found that it was a model of panel that had a number of complaints. He alerted us to the dangers, and then -- instead of pressuring us then and there to get the job done -- he encouraged us to do our own research. Needless to say he was correct and we had him back to do the job. Again he was on time, on budget, and professional. We are very happy to have found City Lights on Angies's List and will use him for any electrical job we have!They showed up early and began ripping out the old panel. When they were ready to turn off the power they gave us plenty of warning. They never took a break, they worked until the job was finished and cleaned up everything. They then tested each and every switch to make sure everything worked.
Description of Work: We have had Anthony and City Lights do 3 separate jobs in our home. Each time he has been professional, thorough, and on budget. We had him come to check and repair outlets in our kitchen. While doing that job he discovered faulty wiring and that led him to our electrical panel.

Anthony responded to emails quickly and set an appointment within the week. He arrived on time, diagnosed the problem as a faulty switch and repaired it quickly. He also noted that the original wring in the house needed to be replaced and provided a quote via email the same day.Anthony was very personable, seemed very competent, and I would not hesitate to have him work on my house again.

Anthony at City Lights Electric is one of the most professional and experienced electricians I've ever worked with. He came out and assessed the work that need to be done and took photos so he could reference those. He checked out both issues and that same day he emailed me a quote. I told him the home owners association had ok'd the price and that we could start whenever he could schedule it in. He came out and it happend to be quite hot that day but he dug out the old pipe conduit and replace the wiring and conduit and installed a new light fixture and GFI outlet. Inside the foyer he replace the junction box and put in a new GFI outlet there also. Everything is working fine and looking great! I've worked with Anthony several times and he is the absolute total professional. He does things right and you can just tell watching him work, that he knows his stuff. When I am doing remodeling I don't mess with electricity. I call in someone who a pro at that and Anthony at City Lights is the ONLY one I would call. I highly recommend him to anyone!
Description of Work: Our condo had an electric light coming out of the ground and the pipe conduit had completely rusted and the light was not supported any longer. Also there was a very awkward setup of electrical in the foyer of the building that needed to be replaced and put to code.

My home fire detection system began to malfunction. I checked with Angies List and found City Lights. I called, explaind what the problem was and was imediately given several option and cost related to each option. I chose to replace my detection system and was advised that he could be at my residence in 3 hours to complete the job. He arrived on time and finished the entire job in less than an hour. Great service and even better job. I will be using City Lights electric for future electrical projects.
Description of Work: Same day response to correct my problem was totally unexpected. The experience was very efficient, professional and the cost was very good.

On time, friendly, competent.There was no business card nor invoice, so I was a little taken aback by this.But he appears to have fixed the issue, and if it turns out that the Malibu's are notworking after I get the light bulbs, I'm reasonably sure he'll return to finish the job.
Description of Work: Circuit went out, but it was not the breaker, so I could not fix it,nor diagnose it. Turned out to be faulty wiring in the socket, which was fixed professionally.Malibu lights were malfunctioning as well. He addressed the problem and found thetransformer, which two other electricians could not find, and did a thorough jobfixing. After I get some new light bulbs, I expect all to be well.

There was some confusion in setting a date for my 'ghost' problem (light & fan on when not expected); however, once a time was set Chris was prompt and very courtiuos. The fan was a little more complicated than some, but it was fixed in good time. I was very grateful to have my relatively minor problem taken care of with as much concern & care as larger jobs.

After being let down by another contractor, I was pleasantly surprised to meet Anthony De Luca. He was punctual (came for the initial inspection and estimate when he said he was going to, unlike the other contractor!) and gave me a fully detailed estimate of the work that was to be done. Then, after the expected deliberation with the City of Santa Clarita, who were keen to get all the inspections and paperwork complete, Anthony arrived to start the work. The City of Santa Clarita came at the same time to begin the series of sign-offs after safely disconnecting the electricity supply from the street. First, he ripped out the old (dangerous) panel that was arcing and causing electrical outages. A few hours later I was looking at a brand new, beautifully-installed electrical panel, gleaming and shining new in the California sun. Almost all the sign-offs had been done by the City. (The only one missing was the one where they sign off any reparations to the surrounding stucco, something that I knew wouldn't be done the same day.) However, he and his crew did not leave until all the breakers had been labeled properly and the circuits tested throughout the house and yard. Nothing was too much trouble for Anthony. He even offered to return if I found anything amiss over the next few days. (I don't reckon I will, but it was nice of him to offer this unconditionally!) One thing that I noticed was that Anthony labeled all the circuit locations throughout the house in neat red Sharpie pen next to each of the breakers. This job he carried out using his left hand crafting tidy capital lettering on the gray metal paneling. Any other contractor might have been content to scribble here, but Anthony took pains to make it neat and clear. I shall recommend Anthony without hesitation to anyone needing electrical work in Santa Clarita. Thanks a million for a job well done! :-)
Description of Work: Replacement of an electrical power panel. The old panel was dangerous and some of the circuit breakers had actually "cooked" - I was shown potential fire hazards and the reasons that we had had been having problems throughout the house with the old panel.

It went fine, I provided the supplies and most of the work was labor. He also checked other outlets in the laundry room so they would work as they were suppose to ( my original wiring was not right).
Description of Work: I had granite implementation on 4/21. I did not know that they would lay the granite and leave all of the electrical outlets open with wires exposed. There were 11 outlets (combination of regular electric, lights and one phone connection). I left a message on SUNDAY requesting assistance after checking on Angies LIst to both change out the outliets (from white to black) and to place the wallplates which were harder to access now due to the thickness of the granite. I was contacted by City Lights Electric (Anthony) and to my surprise he came over the same day and completed the requested repairs. THANK YOU!!! I am so grateful-----I could only imagine that someone in my family would try & turn on a light and miss the exact middle and get an electric shock.........

Fine, 5 mins in and out. Some people might think that the service fee a bit much but I believe it is reasonable.
Description of Work: What I like is that City Lights responds quickly & are on time. Second time I used them. Turned out that this problem was SC Edison's issue rather than house wiring as I thought. I am OK with the service call fee ($70) as they were prompt and accurate about the problem.

They removed the ceiling fixture and the light over the dining table. They installed the recessed lighting and the pendant lights and the dining room table fixture. They put a dimmer switch on the pendant lights over the island which necessitated them adjusting the light switch for the kitchen. The kitchen was spotless when the work was done.
Description of Work: We had used Anthony and City Lights a few months ago to install a back porch light. We were so pleased with his prompt service and his reasonable price that we asked him to bid on some electrical work for our kitchen. We wanted an ugly ceiling fixture removed and recessed lighting put in the main part of the kitchen, 3 pendant lights over the island and we wanted to replace the light fixture over the dining table. The price they quoted was again very reasonable so we hired them to do the job. City Lights work was absolutely top notch. They were prompt, they cleaned up as the went along and the work was done very professionally. We will definitely continue to use them for any jobs that come up around our home and highly recommend them.
