Recommended Customer Reviews

We had an GFCI issue in multiple rooms when we replaced them. Ed came out and diagnosed the problem. He was very professional and even taught me how it was done and what to do in the future. Thank you so much!

I called Ed, at his published phone number, he personally answered immediately, listened to my service needs and immediately scheduled the job to be done for me at the exact time on the exact day that I requested. This was after I'd been waiting on callbacks from two other businesses for 2 days.
On the day of my appt. I got a call from the owner, the aforementioned Ed, who was driving to a meeting in the Bay Area regarding the death of a very close family member. Despite his great personal loss and involvement Ed made sure I wouldn't be inconvenienced by sending his own son to do the job at my house instead of himself. His son,Evan later called to inform me he could come at any time and was at Home Depot buying the particular light fixture I needed to be installed. Evan arrived promptly and quickly removed two old ceiling light fixtures in different rooms of the house, replacing them with state of the art flush mount LED fixtures making the house safer, brighter and way more energy efficient.
I appreciate good, efficient workers who know their stuff and get the job done in a timely manner. Evan was all these things and a pleasant, upbeat guy to talk to also. And I'll be always grateful to the owner, Ed who went out of his way to cater to my needs while going through a really tough emotional time of his own. The rating system here goes up to five stars but I'd give The Electric Company a 10 on a scale of 10!!! Great parts and labor and exemplary customer service at very reasonable prices...The Electric Company is the business I'll call again any time I need the help. Thank you Ed and Evan!

This is the only place I will take all my electricity business. Ed and his family are incredible! They are courteous, professional, fast, and really put the customer first. I felt well taken care of and my beautiful lamps were taken care of too.
I live in Merced, but came to Ed's place because no one in Merced wanted to help me fix my crystal lamps. Folks turned me away saying it wasn't worth it and to throw them away. The moment Ed saw my lamps he said ""Wow so pretty and heavy. These must be very nice lamps."" Yes! Finally someone who understands! He took special care of them, fixing them up in his home workshop. They never left his sight and he was very patient during the entire process. I am so glad I made the trek to come to Ed.
You can tell from the moment you meet him that Ed cares about his business and his craft. He is a creative person with a passion for what he does and those are my favorite people to work with.

Super friendly and knowledgeable. We had made an appointment but they were able to make it out sooner so they stopped by after hours and offered a better, more cost effective solution to our problem. These guys are great!

Friendly service and very punctual . Got some light electrical services done. Ed is jack of all trades. Would recommend for friends and family.

We needed some light fixtures repaired at work and these guys were awesome. They responded quickly and were able to get out the same day to fix our issue. Very polite and professional! Definitely will be using them again.

I called today regarding an issue we were having with our lights flickering and they came right over. Very polite and helpful! You could definitely tell they knew what they were doing and well versed in their field. They went over all the options and laid everything out very clearly. Great service! We'll use again!

Great friendly service! I called mid morning and Ed was able to come out a few hours later and install our light. We'll definitely be using them again for anything in the future!

I called for an estimate for some electrical work I need, I had to leave a message and they got back to me within 5 mins. Came out the next day, were on time ,which is very important to me, it shows they value my time and want my business. Looked the job over and will get back with me on my estimate. I appreciate that too, its nice to know right away, but I appreciate that they are giving it real thought and not just giving me a number to get my business then charge more once they start the job (that has happened to me before with another contractor for a different job) . So I feel really good about their company. Look forward to hearing back from them.

We did a add on to our house we hired Ed from the electric company he did a very good job! I recommend to everyone
