Recommended Customer Reviews

They installed a Tesla wall charger in my garage. They showed up on time. They showed up in mask. Very professional. Receptive to our wants and needs. Gave us what we wanted. Gave us options that were right for us. Very Respectful. Cleaned up the area after they left.

I have used this company twice in a pinch. Both times the issue was found and resolved in no more than 30 minutes. Louie was kind and respectful of my home. I was back to normal in no time. I will definitely call them again and ask for Louie. Thanks!!

Finally found my go-to electricians for any future electrical work around my home... professional, communicative & affordable!

We had an after hours problem. they arrived quickly and fixed our problem.
I highly recommend Compliance 1st Electric Inc.

We had to install a light fixture on high ceiling, and we were so lucky to find this company! They respond fast and came out to price and install on time. The electrician and his partner were so nice and did a such a great work at a reasonable price. I highly recommend this company and will be using again!

I would recommend compliance 1st electric for any future issues in my home. Great value and professionalism.

I needed a chandelier hung on a vaulted ceiling and finding an electrician was difficult until now. It was
hung in a few hours and they cleaned up after. Even after having issues with the wrong bulbs, he came back out and installed a new dimmer switch free of charge!! Highly recommended electrician!!!!

Loui came out on time and did an excellent job in labeling my electrical panel, completing the circuit card needed by the city of Chula Vista inspector.
Installed outdoor lights for my patio, troubleshooting some GFIs and everything completed at a very reasonable price!!!
I would highly recommend Compliance 1st and use his services again.

I have only wrote one other review on Yelp and it was positive. The other reviews posted positive feedback for the very things that I found negative with this company.
Two days in a row he didn't show when he said - with no call. Since it was last minute I was patient and understood - but also needed the repairs and report for my pending escrow.
My bathroom outlets were not working - he found the GFI in my garage that caused it and pushed the reset button. I also had a GFI replaced in my kitchen and a bathroom light fixture adjusted. Total bill......$410!!! That was after he tried to convince me I needed to spend another $350 to replace a GFI on my pool equipment. Instead I called my pool service who came and did it for $100.
When confronted he said the high price was for troubleshooting. He was here less than an hour. Make him give you the price first - respect and honesty are not a priority.

I called Louie today at 9:30am about some trouble I was having with my outlets. Louie told me he could come over asap. Within one hour Louie was trouble shooting the problem I was having with my electrical outlets. He examined the outlets and the breakers. He fixed it within a matter of minutes. I asked since he was almost done if he could install a side yard security light. Louie put it up securely and it's working great. It's was awesome of Louie to come over so fast and fix the problems I had. Speaking with Louie I could tell he's an honest man. I would recommend Louie for all your electrical needs..
