I have found these contractors on Angie’s list. They had high reviews so I thought I would check them out. I was basically asking for them to install two outlets next to my toilets in the bathrooms. When the electrician arrived I showed him exactly what I wanted to do. I explained that the house was on the raised elevations so he should be able to get underneath the house and punch a hole next to the bathroom. He kept insisting that we would have to go through the side of the house but I explained that I didn’t want a hole on the side of my house that I would have to patch. I let him go ahead and crawl to the house and when I came back outside he was chipping a hole right where it asked them not to. So after going back-and-forth he finally agreed that it would make sense to hook it up to my fuse box but it would cost additional money. I said no problem and then asked if he was going to patch the hole in the back. He agreed that he would.. The electricians came back a couple days later and installed the two outlets as we had discussed. The issue the second time was that in one of the bathrooms they put three different holes to try to install the outlet for returning to the original holder they had installed. They also patch the hole in the side of the house with the wrong material (drywall repair, not stucco) that never set up and I have to repair. In addition want the larger areas that they patched in the bathroom needed to be redone because the hole was too large and the material that they used never set up and was crumbling four days later. I was expecting extremely professional group of electricians that knew exactly what they needed to do and would leave with minimal cleanup. I now have to patch my own walls and in addition the outlets aren’t even level. I would not use these guys again. They seemed like complete amateurs.

Juan the electrician was prompt and professional. He installed the lights that I requested. He was honest in his assessment of the installation of the LED flat panel light. I am happy with the work that was completed.

El Electric sent 2 very honest electricians on 5/30/17. They finished the job in the hour I had purchased through Angie's List due to Javier's creativity of rewiring the fuse box instead of replacing the fuse (which would have cost me more money). They even had time to replace the master bath outlet with a GFI outlet. I was so impressed that I hired El Electric on 7/13/17 to add a new circuit to the kitchen. Javier's rewiring creativity again saved me electrician time and money, so I highly recommend El Electric.

Very well - disappointed that pendant light issue was not resolved, however, it's not because of the service technician. The technician was able to assess the issue and a new part needs to be purchased.

The team was very nice, clean and professional. He was on time, easy to communicate with and very efficient with their service hour. Both light fixtures were hung and installed beautifully and he easily found the issue with our light switch and fixed it quickly. I'm glad i found an electrician I can count on. Only downside is they only offer services during the week, but they were able to come early in the morning before I went to work.
Description of Work: We needed a few light fixtures installed and a light switch which lead to nowhere.

IT WENT GREAT ! THE ELECTRICIAN WAS EXCELLENT AND FAST. HE CLEANED UP EVERYTHING AFTER THE INSTALLATION AND WAS VERY PATIENT WITH MY RESCUE DOG WHO KEPT TRYING TO BITE HIM!!! I WENT INTO ANOTHER ROOM AND CLOSED THE DOOR WITH MY DOGGIE AND SAID IF YOU NEED ME JUST GIVE ME A CALL BUT HE NEVER DID.

The initial purchase was $89 for 2 hours of electrical service. I had multiple ceiling fans and pendant lights to be installed (all pre-wired) so I checked in advance if they would be able to extend the time, if needed. I was told that arrangements could be made when they started the work. That was helpful, although they couldn't give me an estimate of how long it would take for each fan. It seemed to take just a bit longer per fan for the additional work, bringing the final charge to $460. All in all, it still was better to have everything done on the same visit.

The electricians took care of everything and did so in a professional manner- and were fast! I would definitely recommend and would use EL Electric again. I felt the price was pretty reasonable. I got a 10% discount because of my Angie's list membership.

Response from EL Electric
Thank you for this review. To get a review of D because we failed to do one among a few jobs done in 1 purchase of $89 (2 hours for 1 guy or 1 hour for 2 guys) is totally unfair. The job that was referred to as "done not correctly" is incomplete and needing more time because this is a trouble-shooting job. The absence of a part (switch) that the customer did not want us to provide instead he wanted to provide himself is the ultimate thing to verify the diagnosis. It can not be compared to another place in your house that could be using the same switch but could have no problem in the wiring. Trouble-shooting job is a testing and finding the problem for you which could be quick or hard. The customer did not want to add a single penny for the time that we need to finish the job.

We had a scare when the electrician discovered shoddy & illegal wiring to the vanity light. There was a support in the way, so it looked like the light wouldn't be able to be mounted in the space where I needed it and I was afraid it was going to turn into a much more expensive project. But the electricians saved the day, completing it all within the hour I had pre-purchased a coupon for on Angies list. My only disappointment was that when I logged on to reserve another coupon for this deal that was to expire today, it was "Sold out." I was planning on having the same electrician back to do a similar job in my other bathroom, but I think I'll wait to do that when I can find a similar deal.
Description of Work: Bathroom exhaust fan replaced and wired to switch separately from vanity lights. Vanity light connection moved higher.

It went well, until there was an upcharge of $35 to just put the fan together. So to sum up, that's $65 plus the upcharge made it $100 for a ceiling fan install where all the hard work was done.

Thank you for the review [Member Name Removed]. This promo clearly specified the Offer Details, the $39 charge for assembly was mentioned in the fine print and was also advised to you on the phone when our representative was setting up the schedule with you. Regarding schedule time, we give a big window especially when there are schedules set ahead of you and depending on traffic, these are the reasons why we cannot be specific on time.

EXCELLENT! My early (8.30 AM) phone call was forwarded to the office manager's cell. I was expecting to leave a message for 9 AM., & was pleased to get a live voice. Everyone on staff was professional, polite and friendly. Pricing was fair and their friendly technician arrived on time, was clean, tidy and thorough. He assured me to just call of I had any concerns and he would come back to repair. They also e-mailed me their liscence, proof of insurance /bonding in advance. i wish every service took this much pride in their work and knew the true meaning of customer service as EL ELECTRIC does. I will call on them again without even checking with other electricians. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ! EL ELECTRIC should be your first phone call if you need an electrician. Greg P. Woodland Hills,CA

Response from EL Electric
Sorry for that (we never actually saw the job). We are very aware of our offers and honoring them at all times. When there is liability involved as we have discussed on the phone to work on a very high situated lights, need 2 guys because it is risky, and to use a 24-ft. extension ladder, it would be out of standard/regular offer. Hopefully the next customer will understand and will enjoy our offers rather than trying to squeeze in jobs that are out of ordinary.
