Cove Electric

These are the most amazing people to do business with. They are kind, considerate, accommodating and smart. Don't think about calling anyone else!!!

Minus 10 Stars.

PLEASE READ this review before hiring this company.

Oversight and mistake in work can happen but the Lack of Principle when it comes to addressing that mistake which potentially caused a bigger problem to the customer's property is not acceptable.

We had LED retrofitting work done on the 9 parking lot light poles with Cove about 2 years ago. About a year ago, the first light pole went dead. Then recently all except 2 went dead. My general contractor took a look at them and found out all the sockets holding the new LED light bulbs were burnt and/or cracked. (Obviously the sockets holding the heavy light bulbs are not compatible with the bulbs and have been deteriorating and cracking slowly over the 2 years)

Our other Centers in LA had the same work done with other electric companies 6 years ago and they are still completely intact.

I called Cove and explained the situation and told them I am even willing to pay for the labor and the parts to correct what appears to be their oversight if they come out and take a look at their work. (***These poles stood intact over 40 years other than rare minor things PRIOR TO COVE).

Cove kept repeating that ONE YEAR WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED and insisted and argued that they have to charge me something like $185 first 30 min and so on no matter what just to inspect the cause.

The point is, Cove should at least offer to waive the inspection fee if upon inspection the problem is in fact caused by their original oversight/mistake.

I understand that mistakes can happen but why hire a company in my opinion that takes priority in money over the principle and the professionalism when there are other companies with better skills and principles.

BTW, I had another contractor replace those flimsy burnt and broken sockets with new sturdy kinds and the poles are back to working. This extra costly expense along with the headache, wasting time and breath could've been all avoided if I hired another company and NOT COVE 2 years ago.

Maybe for the long run, it was better that another company attended this mess created by Cove anyway.

Lack of skill, not even a bit apologetic (if anything rude), and greedy. Extremely annoyed with Cove with this mess and the extra big expense they have caused me BUT MOST OF ALL WITH THEIR RIDICULOUS RESPONSE. INCOMPETENT and UNREASONABLE

I had a Zinsco electrical panel replaced in my 1940's house to meet new codes and today's life style for energy use. I contracted with Cove Electric. Chris oversaw the project which required City of LQ license and inspection, IID and material orders. He kept me informed throughout the process and secured all contacts in order to expedite the project without glitches. The process required the power shut off for most of the day until final city inspection. A special shout out to Chris and Todd, (another Cove electrician) who worked all day in hot temperatures. Both were extremely polite and thorough with the task and clean-up. I would certainly contact Cove Electric for future electrical needs.

We were so happy with Cove Electric and especially their electrician Gordon. He had to come out 3 different times to fix our major problem and he was kind, polite and hard working. It was a pleasure meeting him. We would recommend Cove Electric and especially Gordon to everyone. Thank you Cove Electric.

Cove electric is a wonderful service provider. We worked with Gordon who was very honest and helpful and advised us professionally the work was not need. Great person to work with.

Recently purchased a home in Palm Desert that had a number of wiring issues and needed 2 ceiling fan boxes installed in the bedrooms. Gordon from Cove arrived on time, as promised and repaired all the faults, which were many and installed the ceiling boxes for the fans. He was very careful to protect our flooring and cleaned up after the job was done. Gordon is very personable, friendly and very knowledgable. Some times you get service people in your home and you just want them gone...not with Gordon...he was great and if we need service in the future we will definitely be calling Cove Electric and requesting Gordon.

I'm not one to write very many ""good"" reviews; as I'm more to instantly grab my phone, go straight to yelp and warn people from a business from my bad experience.

Not this time! I was having lots of flickering lights, and some lights shutting off in other rooms of my house. Having to work during the day, and my children coming home from school, I felt uneasy about lights flickering. I called Cove Electric, and they instantly had someone out that fit around my schedule. Very professional, and made me feel comfortable knowing that they had fixed the problem.

I will DEFINITELY recommend them to anyone who needs them!!

Called Cove Electric first thing this morning half our power in the office was out. Gordon was here in an hour or less he checked everything to see what the issue was. He found the problem in less then 1 hour and fixed our lights so we could conduct or business for the day.
Gordon was very polite and let us know everything he was doing. I would highly recommend this company and we will be calling them for any future issues. Thank you Gordon and Cove Electric for all your help

My father was in need of an electrician ASAP, called around to see if anyone could help out, only people to respond were Cove Electric and took care of the problem efficiently and cost effective, will I put them in my contacts for future use - - YES ! Thanks for helping out in this trying time.

I am very disappointed in these people. My very close friend is 95 and is living on a fixed income, and is definitely not made of money. Her lamp post was not working, and needed it fixed. They told her it needed a new wire run from the house to the post, and it would cost $580 to fix it. They did not offer any cheaper alternatives. I hate when a company tries to gouge poor innocent people who can't afford things. I fixed the problem for $80 by putting in a solar light. They could have suggested this cheaper alternative but didn't.
