Calray Electric

This recommendation is easy. Your time is valuable, don't DIY electrical issues when these electricians are so readily available, affordable and quick.. I've used them for large and small projects, I've referred them to friends and family. I trust them and their entire staff. Even the receptionist is high level pro, she takes the call and matches you to the next appropriate electrician in your area. So quick.

Rob sent his team over with just two days notice and Brandon and Lance were there early to get things going and make sure it was done in one day. Which it was. Resessed lights look great and I truly appreciate the management decisions these guys make. The minor upgrades they made were well worth the extra price and I will have them back for more work. Older home with lots of little issues and they fixed three of them in addition to installing the Can Lights. My daugher loves it. May upgrade them to 5 stars after the next visit. Place was cleaner then when they arrived. Nice work men.

Phase II, have to upgrade these guys to 5 big ones...they came back for the second part of the job and it is what I expected all along but wanted to just make sure before I gave then the Five Stars. What I like as much as the quality of work is the communication. We have a ton of electrical problems with this new house and the are able to listen, fix and educate us on what to do..nice work men.

We booked an appointment with Rob. He set the date and time. He was a ""no call/no show"". We called numerous times to see what happened, no response. Unprofessional.

I called Rob mid-morning. He was able to come within the hour to give me a bid for fifteen electrical projects on my new home. His bid was in my inbox by that evening and was the cheapest quote of three different electricians I contacted. His crew arrived the next morning on time and completely professional. They worked well with other contractors I had working at my home at the same time. Calray Electric has earned my business for life!
Thanks fellow yelpers for the great recommendation!

I have used Rob twice for electrical work. Installing recessed lighting and later to install a ceiling fan receptacle. Both times were pleasant, reasonably priced and professional. The first time was even on a Saturday given that I have to work during the week which was great. I am currently thinking about what I want him to hook up next.

I am a bit surprised to see so many good reviews since I didn't have a great experience with them. I called to have someone come to my house to run some wires for a spa I was putting in the back yard and the guy never showed up! I tried calling him and didn't get a response. A few days later I got a call back apologizing which was good, but still, that is not very professional.

I just went through the frustrating experience of getting a dedicated TOU 2 meter with SDGE and Rob was AMAZING! Anyone getting a Tesla Model S definitely needs to call him as he is the BEST electrician in San Diego dealing with installing the HPWC as well as the only electrician that I had luck with that would get back to me installing the dedicated EV TOU 2 meter with SDGE.


Aug. 2, 2013 - I filled out the online application on SDGE's site and I didn't hear back from anyone for a while so I called in and finally I got someone to call me back on Aug. 7. She told me to fax in a form, which I did.

Aug. 7 - I faxed in the form that SDGE sent me to apply for the meter.

Aug. 12 - SDGE calls me back & tells me to find an electrician that can install the wiring for the meter. SDGE explains that it will cost $1,500 - $2,000 for an electrician to do the wiring and getting the permits, etc. They say they don't actually charge anything for actually hooking up the meter.

I had a really difficult time getting an electrician that wants to do this
I contacted Rob Guillory from Calray Electric who was going to install my charger. I asked him if he would be willing to venture down this path with me. He told me that he hadn't done any yet but he was really wonderful in willing to go through the process of it

I waited for over a week for SDGE to contact me back to tell me that I was approved for him to install the housing for it. First they said they had to come out to the house to inspect my existing meter.

Aug. 16 - Nancy A., a Planner emailed me and told me she came by the house to inspect my meter & just needed to know the make/model of the car to get the final approval to get the permit for Rob to install the housing and wiring for my meter.

She was going on a 3-week vacation so I asked her if I could get the permit to start this project ASAP before she left. She was really SUPER and it was only after making contact with her did I make progress.

That same day on Aug. 16, she emailed me a PDF to give to my electrician where exactly he should install the meter.

Aug. 20 - Rob came out as scheduled to install the housing but he had a bit of bad news. One of the parts he needed to install the meter was out of stock so I had to wait until it came. Rob was great however & he said that he would install my HPWC so that I could use my high-speed charger as my car just arrived.

He said that he would come back out once the part came and re-connect the HPWC to the dedicated meter housing. I was VERY happy at least I could charge my car on the fast charger until the part came in.

Sept. 4 - Rob came out to install the housing so that SDGE could install their meter. The process involved Rob installing the housing for the meter. Then that same day, he arranged directly with the City of San Diego to come out and inspect it and pass it so that SDGE can install meter

Sept. 6 - SDGE was supposed to come out and install the EV TOU 2 meter. I was waiting around most of the day. They told me I didn't have to be home but I still wanted to be home as I had a bad feeling about everything, as the communication didn't seem too clear.

I had to run to go pick up my son from school and when I got back there was a tag from SDGE on my door that said, ""You have a 100 Amp breaker installed for your EV meter and we require a 40A breaker for this circuit. Please contact your contractor"".

Unbelievable! I call Rob, who told me that obviously SDGE made a mistake as he just got done installing one of these meters for another Tesla customer.

Rob was really great and called me back late on Friday night trying to make a few phone calls helping me to solve things. To make matters worse, I had to go to a meeting in Chula Visa earlier that day and drove around quite a bit so I only had about 30 miles left on my car.

It was the start of the weekend and I didn't realize that the normal charger you plug in only charges at 4 miles per hour! My fast charger was charging at 60 miles/hour!

I can't tell you how great it was dealing with Rob! He called me on Saturday morning & told me that he wanted to come by and at least hook up my HPWC back up to my main electric meter so I could charge at the 60 miles per hour recharge rate for the weekend until SDGE could fix this. This went a long way to show me how wonderful and a true professional Rob is. He didn't have to do this but it was clear that he really cared about me going through the weekend and not being able to fast charge.


Long story short, Rob helped me solve this and was there until the VERY end to solve this. He did a GREAT job and I'd highly recommend him to anyone! He is the best. A true professional that is totally ethical and honest and a very hard worker. I'd highly recommend him after this experience for ANY electrical needs but especially anything having to do with EV and especially installing the SDGE dedicated 2nd EV meter.

On time, very nice and professional. Rob quickly diagnosed the issues and explained them to me. He even went to Home Depot for a new ballast for the garage and asked if we needed anything while he was there. Quoted the work to take about two hours and he finished under that. For the issues we were having we expected a large bill. With him having to buy a new ballast and replacing lots of bulbs his price was extremely reasonable. We were very happy and will definitely use him again. I will recommend Calray Electric to everyone I know who needs a good electrician!!! Thanks Rob!

I see the good reviews, but I couldn't benefit. I needed an electrician to install a new outlet. So I filled out the form on the web site. No response.

No big deal, maybe he doesn't check his email or the form wasn't working. I called and left a voicemail. I made sure I spoke clearly and left my name and number twice.

No response after several days. So I guess Calray Electric is very busy, which is a good sign, but communication and responsiveness is suffering.

I found another electrician on Yelp to do the install and he did a great job, so no problem, check my other reviews and you'll see who I'd recommend. Hope this feedback helps as constructive.

Calray completed two projects on my house when I initially purchased it: replaced an old Zinsko electrical panel and ceiling fan installation in 5 rooms. Rob and his team were very friendly and professional. Everything is still running smoothly after about 4 months. Once my husband and I've saved up enough money, we're calling Calray for another project!
