2 man team arrived within time window in van. Told them what I wanted - but team leader, Jon, had much better idea. Read that as much simpler and cheaper than my plan. They made a parts run then finished job in just over 2 hours. Tidy professional looking work. Both neat and personable. Not cheap but no regrets.

The servicemen were extremely helpful. They reminded me serval times when my electricity would be disconnected during their work. After the new box was installed, they came through the house to turn on the electricity to correctly label the wiring in the new box,The job required some repair plastering around the new and larger box. This work was done expediently and professionally.
Description of Work: I needed to have my electrical box upgraded. The original box was not fire-safe.

They sent out Michael who was the lead electrician on the project. He would always argue with me. He was rude and belligerent not only to me but to the contractors also. They were suppose to put in a wire for a telephone so I paid someone else to come do that. They were suppose to run a new wire from the doorbell to the chimes and they didn't do that and it was in the contract. The work was very frustrating even though the wiring that was done was correct. Dealing with them was a nightmare.
Description of Work: They installed a new electrical panel. They rewired the kitchen in the back of the house after a remodel.

Dear [Member name removed], We are very sorry to learn that you were not satisfied with the service we provided you over 2 years ago. I wish we had known that you were so unhappy with the electrician at the time so we would have done our best to resolve your concerns right then. Our records indicate that over the course of 4 months we worked with you during your remodel there were many visits and changes to the scope of work and it appears a couple of challenges. We will always make the effort to resolve any issues or concerns. My memory is not fresh regarding your job and I do recall there being some issues but I don't recall that they were 100% our doing. I do know that we did try to resolve anything that was brought to our attention whether it was related to our work or not as promptly as possible. During remodels, coordinating multiple trades can pose many potential issues such as the time we scheduled a crew for the day but showed up to find that the plumbers were still there and we were unable to work and needed to leave. No matter what challenges arise or what caused them, it is our since desire for all of our customers to have a positive experience and we are very very sorry to learn that was not your experience. Sincerely, Jim and Jamie Dent, Owners Point Loma Electric

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. The big deal you purchased was for a $50 discount for $25 This is I n addition to the 10% discount we offer our Angie's list customers. When the electricians arrived, you requested a number of repairs as well as some lighting related items and when we gave the price for the requested services it became clear that there was a misunderstanding or mis communication regarding what was included for $25. We did immediately call you and offer to refund your $25 big deal purchase. Thank you, jamie Dent

We received an email from Angie's list at 10am indicating that you had selected another provider and that your storefront purchase had been refunded. We called your phone number at least 4 times between 12-2 to confirm whether or not you wanted us to come out. Although we left messages we did not receive any return phone call from you. We apologize if there was any miscommunication, however we did reach out to you multiple times during the scheduled appointment window without success. We cannot dispatch an electrician without confirming that someone is available and in your case since we received notification from Angie's list that you no longer needed our services we would not have sent anyone without a response to our phone calls. Thank you, Jamie Dent

Justin was awesome!!! He showed up on time and greeted me very professionally. After I explained the situation, he gave me a detailed overview of what he needed to do in order to figure out where the problem was. Once he figured out the issue, which did not take long, he gave me a couple of options along with pricing for both options. The fix was taken care of quickly and the bill reflected what he said it would cost. I recommend Point Loma Electric for all of your electrical needs! A+ Thank you very much for great service at a great cost!!!!

Part of my house power stayed out after a scheduled area-wide SDG&E outage. I am able to do some electrical repairs and spent a couple days trying to solve, including replacing circuit breakers and old receptacles. SDG&E electrician did not find the problem. (SDG&E only provides a minimal diagnostic service, and my problem was old equipment, not SDGE error.) Point Loma Electric took my late afternoon call, scheduled me for next morning, and techs showed up on time. For a reasonable fixed price quoted in advance, Service Tech Justin Douglas and his apprentice Joseph Arenas systematically went through all outlets and switches, over about 2 hours, until they found a bad GFCI outlet in an obscure location. Clean, wore photo ID name badges, all very professional. There was a mild sales element to the interaction-offering upgrades to the whole house. I appreciated the information, but just stuck with the original smaller goal of getting the bad circuit working, and that was fine. I was very happy with the work performed, and I learned a lot about best quality wiring practices, including explanations of how some work I have had done by other contractors over the last 20 years was done poorly. Both licensed journeymen electricians.

Point Loma Electric was an efficient and easy company to work with. Kirra, the coordinator of schedules/appointments was quick to answer all of my questions and had great follow-thru in helping me schedule an appointment. Only downside is that they do not have weekend hours. The actual appointment went exceptionally well. Thought I spent far more than I had originally intended, the work that was done was something that I eventually had wanted to do but hadn't known my options/what the process entailed. Justin was thorough in his explanations and answered all of my questions. Because we had taken such a detour from the original scope of work, 2 additional electricians (David and Devin) brought additional materials and sets of hands to complete the job. When installing the pendant, Joe was patient, attentive to detail, as well as receptive to my comments/changes and thorough in his installation. Everything was done in a timely manner, they were flexible and easy to work with, and now my house looks FAR more up to date. I would absolutely use Point Loma Electric again and I would recommend their services without hesitation.
Description of Work: Originally the purpose of the appointment was to install a pendant over my dining room table. That quickly changed to installing a pendant, changing out ALL of my recess lighting fixtures, changing out smoke detectors, and installing a ceiling fan.

They arrived perfectly within their time frame. Justin got right to work with the outlets. He answered all my questions and that's how I got the recessed LED lights. A really good salesman, but he was right on. I see my kitchen for the first time. Worth the money. He offered me a great deal. The whole deal was completed in 45 minutes. Friendly, professional and knowledgeable. I definitely would call them again.
Description of Work: He repaired two outlets and replaced all the old recessed lights with new LED lights. They (supposedly) last much longer and cost less to use. They are extremely bright which is exactly what I need in the kitchen.

Kirra was fabulous in scheduling and keeping in contact regarding the job. She scheduled me for the day and time I needed, as I was only going to be in town for a week. Pleasant and professional. Installation day arrives on the Wednesday, the "estimator" shows up but no work crew. I asked where they were and was given excuses that they will be back Friday to do the work even though I had pre-arranged to have the work done that day and the painters would stop painting until electricians finished. Estimator comes and goes in 15 minutes, and does not give my any choices. I had previous asked Kirra for an hourly rate but that is not what the "estimator" gave me unfortunately. As well, he removes a light without my authorization and says I need something else. Very frustrating and disappointing experience with "estimator". I relay this to Kirra who investigates and assures me all will be done on Friday first thing. Friday, the guys arrive promptly. They are organized, know what they are doing, get the fans up and everything completed in 90 minutes. Devin and Joe were great! However, the light I purchased at the "estimator" urging does not fit. So, I have to go back to Home Depot and figure out for myself. Meanwhile, Kirra calls back to follow up and I explain what is going on. She offers to help but I am out of time as I have to return to east coast on Sunday. She goes out of her way to offer something in the future if I need more help. Jamie, one of the owners, calls me back Friday afternoon and listens to my concerns about how the "estimator" did his work, did not do his proper paperwork, and removed fixture from ceiling without my authorization. She offers to go get a fixture and have it installed free today or even Saturday, as well as pay for fixture. I really appreciated her offer so as I was already at HD getting the light fixture, one of her electricians met me at the house and installed it in 10 minutes. Great customer service!!!! All in all, a great experience from the Point Loma office staff, the owner, the actual working electricians, but a so-so experience with the "estimator". Be cautious of the guy who comes to "estimate" but does not actually do any of the work. The price is also so-so, for 90 minutes of effort from 2 guys I am charged $1500+. The quality is there, and I get that you do pay for quality, but the pricing was very high given the actual amount of effort expended. As well, for a $10 plastic fan box (not metal, not braced, etc.) they charged me $251, no price break there either. I had originally asked for an hourly rate but the "estimator" did not do so. Rate them an "A" on most things, gave a "B" on professionalism because of "estimator" but made up by Kirra and Jamie as well as Devin and Joe, and a "C" for price because of they ended up to be very expensive. Jamie, one of the owners, went out of her way to try to satisfy me but unfortunately we did not see eye to eye on the issues, but at least she was responsive. I might use them again if for nothing else the quality of the work, but not based on their prices.

Thank you so much for taking your time to leave a detailed review. We appreciate your business and you taking the time to share it. I'm glad to hear that overall you were satisfied. Of course as per our advertised promise we aim for 100% satisfaction and work hard to achieve that goal. As you indicated, we spoke and emailed at length. I did send you a partial courtesy refund as part of our satisfaction guarantee since I don't feel that you were 100% satisfied all across the board. The mail was returned since you live out of state, but we did resend it. Hopefully you have received it by now. :) I'd like to clarify here that although per your request, we had originally hoped to complete your work the first day we went out, there were painters working at the same time and wet paint in the area. Even if they left, doing electrical work with wet paint is something we try to avoid. We sincerely regret that we were not able to meet your objective on this point and complete the work the same day. We aim to do that whenever possible but unfortunately sometimes we can't complete the work on the same day for a variety of reasons. I do have to respectfully disagree with the amount of time the job took to complete. The scope of work that was quoted and completed usually takes approximately 3-6 hours. Our electricians were on site for about 1/2 the day. We verified their time cards with the gps on our truck and that amount of time is right in line with how long the job should have taken to complete. Our guys are fast and you had two of our fastest techs, but even they are not that fast. We appreciate your honest feedback and will use it to improve our processes and communications. We are glad that overall you were satisfied and want you to know how much we appreciate your business. Best Regards, Jamie Dent, Owner, Point Loma Electric

Everything went great from beginning to end. They scheduled my appointment that worked best for me. They kept me informed and arrived exactly as planned. As soon as I told him the problem, he knew exactly what to do. Within minutes he was through. It cost a little more than I thought it would, but I needed the replacement so I approved the work. Joe was very nice and professional. I was impressed with his knowledge.

Point Loma Electric has been very courteous and responsive, they have some of the best customer service in the industry. They are honest and do good work; they are also very expensive. The electrical inspection was thorough and accurate I just don't see a reason to pay the prices they are asking for additional work.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are glad you liked our services and understand that we are not a match for every customer. In order to provide the level of service you experienced and described in your review we need to be able to attract, train and keep top quality employees who have experience and skill, care about our customers and do a great job. We have been in business for over 26 years and over 35% of our business comes from repeat customers and referrals. We can also say that a significant amount of the work we do is repairing issues or redoing work done by others. People who hitre us can feel confident that we will be around to take care of them if they ever have issues in the future. In order to operate in full legal compliance with all state and employment requlations, attract and retain excellent employees by paying them fair living wages and offering benefits and insurance and to turn a small profit (surprisingly less than 10%), and thrive and grow, we incur a significant amount of overhead that a one man shop would not have to carry. Insurance and workmans comp requirements alone put many small companies out of business unless they understand their true costs of doing business and kmow what they must chrge to survive. Our goal is not to be the cheapest provider. There are many companies out there who compete based on offering cheap prices. Over the long term we have found out the hard way that too often the old adage that you get what you pay for comes true. Maybe not every time, but often enough. We work hard to compete based on the qualiity of our workmanship and by offering outstanding customer service. We will do everything in our power to ensure the complete satisfaction of our customers and our customers can hire us in full confidence that we will be around in the future if they need us again. We appreciate your business and the opportunity to be of service and are glad you liked our service. Best Regards, Jamie Dent, owner

Point Loma sent two guys. They wasted a lot of time looking at other things. If they had just pulled out the dishwasher they would have seen the burnt cable. They also added dishwasher diagnostic charge ($363) which was unreasonable.

Response from Point Loma Electric & Plumbing
Here is the description of the reason for your call: "No power coming to outlet for the dishwasher, circuit breaker does not help, makes a noise when he flips the switch" First I will address your overall compliant and then each of the F ratings you left us: We never do any work without FIRST getting the customers approval to proceed. Our electricians always explain that we are a flat rate company and we charge by the job not by the hour. There is a charge to diagnose the reason for the electrical problem and not only was this explained to you, but this was put in writing and you signed that you understood & agreed to the charge BEFORE we began. You knew in advance that we don't work for free and that there was a charge to diagnose the problem. You approved the charge before we began. We cannot fix anything until we know what caused or is causing the issue. Our level 1 diagnostic charge covers locating a problem in an ACCESSIBLE location. Behind an installed and hardwired dishwasher is not considered accessible and you were not charged any for additional tasks. It was also clearly explained to you that once the electrician determined the cause of the problem you would be given several repair options and quoted the exact and final price to make the repair. We would only make any needed repairs upon your written approval. If it was a simple loose connection, faulty breaker or something that could be repaired during the diagnostic there would be no additonal charges. After checking your breaker and determining that there was a shorted circuit, the electricians had to pull your hardwired, permanently installed dishwasher out. This was no small feat as your flooring was installed AFTER the dishwasher so the unit had to be carefully lifted above the flooring. It was not possible for only one person to have gotten it out, so it was fortunate that we had sent an apprentice along with the Journeyman electrican. We charge exactly the same if we send one man or 3 men. Again, our prices are flat rate not hourly or by the man. Upon lifting & pulling your dishwasher from the wall, the electricians discoverd that when it was installed, it was installed on top of the wire which supplied power to the dishwasher, and that ultimately caused the wire to burn up & create a short circuit. We determined that the crushed wire was shorting out your electrical circuit breaker. Diagnostic work is a process of elimination. What you claim was wasted time "looking at other things" was the diagnostic process where we look FIRST at the most common causes of these types of issues and rule them out one by one. No electrician would have begun the troubleshooting process for this by "just pulling out the dishwasher". Most dishwashers are not installed on top of the supply wire as yours was and "just pulling out" a hardwired permanently installed dishwasher is very rarely necessary. You were offered the option for us to replace the bad wire and hardwire the dishwasher back into the wall with the wire free & clear from the weight of the dishwasher. That was the least expensive repair option. You CHOOSE for us to remove the hardwired 120v cable and install a new appliance cord which would then be plugged into an outlet instead of hardwired into the wall. ($126) Since there was no outlet present, you requested us to install a brand new outlet box and plug in order to plug in your dishwasher instead of having it hardwired. ($269). You were also given an Angies list discount of $72. Before proceeding with the repair and installation of the new outlet, you approved these charges in writing as well as the cost of the diagnostic in advance of us doing the work. After the electricians were done, you were asked if you were satisfied. You then signed the invoice stating that you had approved the charges, agreed to pay and were satisfied with the work done as well as the clean-up we did. After leaving this review, you called our office claiming that we charged you for work that we did not do. You said we charged you to diagnose your dishwasher but that there was nothing wrong with the dishwasher. We do not work on or diagnose problems with appliances, only electrical issues, which you clearly had. You told our electricians that you were going to get the dishwasher installer to pay the diagnostic charge since the improper installation of the wiring was the cause of the problem. Your problem, as we discovered during our diagnosis was a shorted out electrical supply wire to the dishwasher because the dishwahser was crushing it! It was clearly an electrical problem, not an appliance problem. We called you to discuss this and evidently you felt that no diagnostic was required?? If we had xray vision and could see through walls and behind / under appliances, we might not need to charge for the knowldege, or our years of experience, or the time it takes to diagnose electrical problems. There are too many different causes of electrical outages to list and there is no way to know what the issue is, unless we troubleshoot the issue. This is what the diagnostic charge covers. No reputable company figures out the problem for free. If you take your car to the shop, they charge you to find out what is wrong. Electricians are no different. We have to charge to find the problem. Had the appliance been properly installed to begin with, you would not have experienced this issue. However, because our electricians (or anyone else's) do not have xray vision and the cause of the problem was not out in a visible location, besides being a very rare occurance such as this, yes a diagnostic charge was clearly warranted. The additional repairs were not only your choice, but your idea, and were approved by you, in writing, in advance of installing the outlet and putting a cord on the dishwasher. To address your other F ratings: Price F: See above. We are sorry you were not happy with the price we charge. We did not pressure you in any way to hire us for our services and you approved each and every charge in advance as well as upon completion. Quality, Responsiveness, Professionalism: Your electrician is one of the best and most competent electricians we have ever had on our team. He is unfailingly polite, professional, meticulous and neat and is highly skilled. We get many compliments and positive reviews on both his workmanship and demeanor with customers. Punctuality: You were given an arrival window of between 9- 12 am. Our electricians arrived at 9:24 and you were called when they were on their way. Due to the nature of our business we do sometimes run behind, however this was not one of those times. We are sorry you feel that warranted an F for punctuality. We care deeply about giving our customers a positive experience and about their satisfaction. Unfortunately there are times where the customers expectations are not realistic or fair and this is one of them. We are sorry you were dissatisfied but we feel that we delivered the service you hired us for at a price you agreed to and was fair to both you, the customer, and our company.

The customer service was the worst I have ever heard. They refused to come because I was 2 miles outside of the boundary even though they said they were willing to go anywhere around the area in advertising. They also referred another company to do the work, but they were not willing to offer the entire commitment.
Description of Work: I bought a deal for electrical services.

Response from Point Loma Electric & Plumbing
Unfortunately we were unable to send one of electricians to drive for 1 hour each way to provide a service that normally takes 1 - 2 hours for $49. As we discussed, it was not supposed to have been advertised that far away from our office. We called you as soon as we realized how far you were from our service area and immediately refunded the purchase of your big deal coupon. Regretfully we were unable to tie up one of our licensed electricians for the better part of a working day to travel 1 hour each way for a $49 promotion. The costs of gas, and labor and time far exceeded the cost of the deal. We were profoundly apologetic and I personally called another A rated Angie's list electrician in your area to make arrangements for your inspection for the price of the deal. Our goal was to try to accommodate you the best we could. No services were actually provided by us despite the review saying that services were provided. We immediately refunded your $49 due to the distance from our office. This occurred over a year ago, so I am surprised to see this F review now. Jamie Dent Owner, Point Loma Electric
