Ehlers Electric
Company Overview
Our expertise lies in energy-efficient lighting options, strategic lighting setups, and eco-friendly options. Having each spent more than ten years in the field, we have handled all kinds of electrical work, including commercial venues such as Happi Fish, Jalapeño Grill, Surf Brothers Teriyaki, Tilted Kilt, and Bellamy's to minor home upgrades and large custom builds from start to finish.
Most of our clientele consists of homeowners needing services like upgrades to panels, microwave circuits, a variety of LED can lights, dimmers, and ceiling fans, high-quality bath fans, and replacing outdated outlets and switches. In the past two years, we have focused on comprehensive rewiring of non-grounded houses.
At Ehlers Electric, we believe every task is important, regardless of size. Robin earned his electrical license approximately 12 years back. He launched Ehlers Electric just two months later. Soon after, Brandon Ehlers joined as the first employee.
Prior to this, Robin spent five years as an electrician. Brandon was involved with a small electrical business in Poway. He supported Robin for six years until he gained enough experience. Then they formed a partnership!
Robin and Brandon are part of a long line of electricians. Their grandfather, Theadore Ehlers, operated a different Ehlers Electric in the 80s. Their father, Leo Ehlers, along with two uncles, Joe and Ted Ehlers, also worked in the field.
Robin and Brandon proudly represent the third generation of electricians. They are also proud to be third-generation San Diego locals. Their small family business is built on integrity and a solid reputation.
They have been in the electrical field for well over ten years, they have weathered the economic fluctuations. They are now dedicated to offering top-notch service without high overhead expenses. This means keeping expenses low on advertising, storefronts, fleet trucks, and employee training.
If you hire Ehlers Electric, either Brandon or Robin will personally handle your project. They will personally oversee the work, not sending an apprentice.

Nick C.Great job! Fast and timely installation of a gfci outlet. Responded to yelp requests for information extremely quick and lowest quoted price. Thanks!
Mike M.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!
bill r.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.
Jason K.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!
Todd H.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.
Corey W.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!!
Dr. N.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!!!
Cheryl P.I made an appointment over the phone. They never showed up or called. I called them for another appointment and again, a no-show. Perhaps the 5 star reviews have made them too busy. After losing a week, I called another company and they showed up on time the next day.
All the guys at Ehler's Electric did a great job with multiple electrical projects at my house. They did a TV mounting along with a soundbar that required a lot of new wiring and outlets to have it come out perfect. There were some other items I needed done such as motion detector switches and changing out all the outlets in the kitchen for a new backsplash. A few weeks prior they also replaced three light fixtures and a ceiling fan for me. They were on time, professional, had reasonable prices and are very trustworthy. I had received a quote from a large electrical firm that was three times as much and am very pleased I decided to call Ehler's based on their location and the reviews on here. I would use them again in a heartbeat and recommend them to anyone who needs some great electricians!
Jean K.Not sure these guys need ANOTHER 5-star review (I think you get the point that Ehlers Electric is the way to go) but just couldn't help myself!!!
Brandon was at my home yesterday to check out a problem we were having with the power line supplying ""juice"" to our pool and landscape lighting. My husband is usually pretty good with this stuff, but when he tried fixing it and sparks flew out he decided we needed to call in the ""big guns"".
Called Brandon on Tuesday and we made an appointment for Wednesday afternoon. Shortly before he arrived on Wednesday he texted me to let me know he was on his way. Brandon and his assistant quickly figured out the problem, fixed it, made a few other minor revisions to make things fit and work better, handed me a very reasonable bill, and were on their way in about an hour.
Amazing! A contractor who answers his phone, arrives on time, fixes the problem, cleans up his work area, AND is reasonable? Plus...he (and his associate) are also very, very nice - professional, friendly, and helpful.
Thanks for the awesome job guys, we're putting together a list of electrical issues we need to take care of and will be back in touch very soon!
