Ehlers Electric
Company Overview
We focus on innovative lighting designs, strategic lighting setups, and eco-friendly options. Having each spent more than ten years in the field, we have worked on a variety of electrical projects, from commercial establishments like Tilted Kilt, Surf Brothers Teriyaki, Jalapeño Grill, Happi Fish, and Bellamy's to small home remodels and large custom builds from the ground up.
We primarily serve homeowners needing services like upgrades to panels, microwave circuits, a variety of LED can lights, dimmers, and ceiling fans, efficient bath fans, and the replacement of old outlets and switches. Over the last two years, we have specialized in comprehensive rewiring of non-grounded houses.
At Ehlers Electric, no project is too large or too small. Robin obtained his electrical license approximately 12 years back. He launched Ehlers Electric just two months later. Not long after, Brandon Ehlers became the first employee.
Before this, Robin had worked as an electrician for five years. Brandon was involved with a small electrical business in Poway. He worked alongside Robin for six years until he felt ready. Then they formed a partnership!
Robin and Brandon come from a lineage of electricians. Their grandfather, Theadore Ehlers, ran another Ehlers Electric back in the 80s. Their father, Leo Ehlers, and uncles Joe and Ted Ehlers were part of the same profession.
As third-generation electricians, Robin and Brandon take pride in their heritage. They are also proud to be third-generation San Diego locals. Their small family business is built on integrity and a solid reputation.
With over a decade in the electrical industry, they have successfully managed the economic highs and lows. Currently, they aim to deliver quality service while minimizing overhead costs. This means keeping expenses low on advertising, storefronts, fleet trucks, and employee training.
By selecting Ehlers Electric, you will have either Brandon or Robin arrive at your home. They will not delegate the task to an apprentice.

Recommended Customer Reviews

We had been wanting to get recessed lighting in our living room for a while. A good friend recommended Ehlers Electric and I'm SO thankful he did! Not only did Brandon come in with an estimate of about a third of others, but they got the job down in about 2 1/2 hours (5 canned 6"" lights installed). Not only that, but they cleaned up thoroughly when they were done and we're super professional and nice. We will definitely be using them again and I HIGHLY recommend you hire them as well! Thanks guys for the job VERY well done!

Brandon and Robin Ehlers Electric did some work in my backyard about a year ago, due to recent rain the lighting no longer works and I have tried calling and texting them to come back out with no response to date.

I don't know what happened to Brandon and Robin but they are either out of business, or do not respond to their existing customers for new work. They don't answer phone calls and their voice-mail box is full (can't leave a message). I tried leaving texts and again, no reply. This is a bummer! I really liked these guys and they did awesome work. Hope they are ok and that perhaps they have too much work.

Great job! Fast and timely installation of a gfci outlet. Responded to yelp requests for information extremely quick and lowest quoted price. Thanks!

These two fine young fellas deserve the 5 stars everyone seems to be giving them here - I was lucky in catching them on their way home for the day and they showed up less than an hour after I called them, fixed the outlet issue I had for a very reasonable cost, and even explained how the problem occurred. Definitely will call them again, should the need arise. Thanks, guys!

These guys are great I wife and I just purchased an electric vehicle we don't like a slow charger. I called up the company the day before told him what I wanted they said great I sent them a picture of the device they followed up with me they came to my house talked me through the whole situation fixed my circuit box great personalities if you need someone to come to your house or anywhere that needs any electrical work call them. I guarantee 100% satisfaction.

Ehrlers Electric was great to deal with. They made quick work of a home EV charging station. Their price was very fair and the work was fantastic. I will use them again!

Great work, efficient, good guys. They installed a ceiling fan and did added some can lights. Turned out the fan had a squeak that drove me nuts, Robin followed up and took care of us.

I had put off getting lights around our yard for a few months. We have 2 acres, and at night and unless the moon is especially bright, it's PITCH DARK in our yard. The biggest issue we had, was that we were getting married back there in just a couple weeks. They came out and knocked it out in 2 days! Totally rocked the house. They ran outlets along 5 of our trees and hooked them up to a switch on our house so we could plug in Christmas lights, and then on some of our other trees they installed uplights to highlight them. Killer job!! There must have been a solid 250-300 feet worth of trench digging to do, but they got it done in just 2 days and saved my butt so my to-be wife didn't kill me for waiting so long!!
Highly recommended and super reasonable on pricing!!

These dudes are awesome. After calling almost a dozen different electricians, these guys offered the best over the phone quote. They arrived on time and expertly installed 5 ceiling fans and a chandelier (a last minute request). They made every attempt to minimize cutting through drywall with the ceiling fan installation.
It's been over a year now since installation and everything still works very well. I would highly recommend the guys for all your electrical needs!!!
