About us

Fornoff Electric was founded in 1968 by Bob Fornoff, serving the Conejo and San Fernando valleys with expert electrical installations and repairs. In 1993, his son Mark took over the business and became president of the company. From age 10, Mark accompanied his father on jobs and, over a period of more than 20 years, Mark learned firsthand all aspects of the business-from system design to installation to marketing. Today, Mark heads a team of electricians, including his two sons Jacob and Luke, who serve commercial and residential customers and contractors seven days a week, 24 hours a day.

Fantastic! They are a friendly and honest family business. I worked with Mark, Jake & Deborah. They were incredible. I will use them again and highly recommend them to my friends. Some items we had thrown at them at the last minute and they were honest about what they could do to help keep the cost down and giving us different options. They even ran out to the hardware store to get additional items so everything could get completed that day. They were professional and never stopped working plus gave us a great price! They really bring back that feeling where someone takes pride in their family business and believes in an honest days work.
Description of Work: Exchanged all outlets, light switches, smoke detector & bathroom ceiling vent fan. Some items were thrown in at last minute and they were honest about seeing if they could repair to save us some money. They ran out to the hardware stor

I've recommended this compnay to several friends and are having them back for some additional electrical work I need. Great service, good price and professional. What more can you ask.
Description of Work: I had no electric service in part of my home. I called and Mark had me try several things to see if the electric would come on without the need for a service call. When that didn't work he cam over within a few hours and stayed until he figured it out and got it fixed. Apparently the builder of my home had the house wired so that when one outlet went out all the outlets in that circuit would stop working.

He was punctual, professional, did neat work and cleaned up the worksites nicely. I thought the price was high for this work however I asked for an estimate to do another task and that estimate was more in line with similar work I had done on a previous house. I would use this service again.
Description of Work: Installed a split rocker switch to separate front door sconce from recessed porch lights and also installed an outside box (to an existing switch) so I could mount an exterior sconce near my grill.

Mark is a rock star of electricians. Very trustworthy. I can leave him alone in my house if I need to run a quick errand.
Description of Work: Mark has done many projects for me over the last 5 years. He had put low voltage landscape lighting around the perimeter of my home as well as upgrading my kitchen and family room to in ceiling spots for a more contemporary look. Recently changed out my old transformer to a more efficient system.

Great company, quality work, integrity, and punctual. Mark is a community member and has a great reputation, I hired him based on referrals from friends. He was everything they said. Definitely a quality and honest person. You can see it right away when he shows up. He's also very easy to talk to and will give you suggestions from his years and years of experience. My projects were smaller, he does major electrical for new construction. I've never seen a truck like his either. This guy is serious about his work.
Description of Work: New indoor and outside lighting where none existed. Adding additional switches.

I was surprised at Mr. Fornoff's rudeness. He cancelled an hour before meeting me. (I took off from work to meet him). He walked in and said, ''Hey, nice place. How much did you pay for it?'' He took a look at the projects, went back to his truck to punch numbers, and came back with an estimate twice as much as everyone else's. I explained to him my hesitation (that he was 2 times as much), and he said, ''OK, thanks,'' and walked out. Based on this, I would not recommend him.
Description of Work: The estimate was to hang one light fixture and one fan/light fixture.

Mark Fornoff came out to the house very quickly (within the hour) and was able to find/fix the problem that afternoon. He seemed very knowledgeable and friendly.
Description of Work: Five outlets in our house went dead. An outdoor junction box had a short and was causing an entire series of outlets to fail. The problem was diagnosed and repaired in the same afternoon. The junction box outdoors was re-located indoors.

Very good work. They showed up when they said they would and worked diligently until it was complete. The job took a little longer than they expected due to a structural difficulty, but it was not something they could have foreseen. Very pleasant to work with.
Description of Work: Installed two ceiling fans and a bathroom vent fan, along with a new switch for each.

Mark was able to come by on short notice to review the work that needed to be done. He provided a written quote within a day, and we scheduled the work within a few days after that. His guys were friendly and professional and did everything in one day. Mark is my electrician from now on.
Description of Work: Re-installed a 240V, 40 amp dedicated line for a new stove (that a non-professional had installed incorrectly, my mistake in not hiring a professional in the first place!). Plus cleaned up a bunch of electrical issues around the house and in several sheds, based on my home inspection report.

OUR HOUSE BURNED LAST CHRISTMAS EVE. THE FIRE WAS CAUSED BY A CONSTRUCTION DEFECT IN THE WIRING. I CALLED MARK FORNOFF AROUND 3 PM ON CHRISTMAS EVE AND HE CAME RIGHT OVER. HE WORKED INTO THE NIGHT MAKING SURE ADDITIONAL HAZARDS WERE ELIMINATED AND THEN HE RE-ESTABLISHED POWER TO THE REMAINING PORTIONS OF THE HOUSE. ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL -- HE REALLY WENT OUT OF HIS WAY TO HELP US.
