Recommended Customer Reviews

Wow! Peter is TERRIFIC!!! We were desperate for a quick and very important electric job here at my business last week and he was able to bid it out within 1 hour on a Friday, and then come on Sunday and knock the entire job out.
Now we have a separate electrical job that we need done and he is able to have someone come first thing tomorrow morning.
Very reasonable pricing, professional, and knowledgable.
Thank you Peter & Electric Green Team!

I had called a few different technicians for an estimate on installing a new bathroom fan. Peter was very professional and was wise enough to have his company rep call later on to set up an installation date. He also shot me an estimate by email that same day.
So I I went with Electric Green and am thoroughly pleased with my decision. Peter came on time for the appointment and was done in a timely manner, considering he even had to dismantle the old, rusty housing and cut drywall. The finished product is a super quiet fan (I bought a Panasonic 0.4 sones, low-profile unit) in my condo bathroom that looks and sounds amazing!

WOW!!!! They came out yesterday and added some lighting in 2 different rooms for me and also added exhaust fans in each bathroom. The guys were very polite and professional. Even better than that was they didn't leave any mess behind. I highly recommend them for any electrical needs.

I got the contact from a friend who has done many jobs with Electric Green.
Very cordial people, always on time and impeccable work.
I'm very happy with them and I would work with them without any hesitation.

i hired Electric Green to run the electrical for an AC unit that I was having installed. Their work was tidy, and the cost came in under their estimate. Quick, prompt, clean and honest. What else could you want from a service?

Peter and his workers installed some lights in the underground garage of our condo building based on his recommendations. We had gotten 2 other bids, but they had a simpler less expensive solution. They were honest, prompt, and highly competent. Peter was wonderful. We have seen a $200+ drop in our electric bill and will recoup the cost in 6 mths or less.

Peter and his team at Electric Green tackled a number of projects at my loft -- and even it's 18-foot ceilings didn't pose a problem for them. They removed a dozen strangely place electrical outlets, cable outlets, ethernet connection points that were all over my walls. They added a 9-foot ceiling fan I purchased -- 18 feet in the air (did I mention that!) and found a way to do it without cutting a new hole anywhere in my ceiling!
They were fast and neat -- when these guys put electrical boxes and plates back on, they use levels to be sure they're on perfectly straight. That's the level of detail they work at. Plus, when they were done, they referred me to an excellent painting company to help me finish the remodel. Electric Green and Peter are a great resource!

Electric Green rescued me from another electrician who had caused me a ton of grief. Thanks to Electric Green I was finally able to finish my remodel and move in on schedule. If peace of mind is of any importance to you, this is the ONLY electrical company in San Diego I would personally recommend. Their prices are VERY competitive, but most of all, you can rest assured your job will be done right and you will be on good terms with the city when they're done.

Electric Green was a God-send for two people who don't know anything about decorating or lighting. Electric Green was recommended to us by Urban Lighting who did the original design. We needed special lighting for our entryway and living room that emphasized the art work we had on display and to illuminate the parts of the room where we entertained. The work Peter Smith, Luis and Miguel did was terrific. Radio signal switches (who knew?) were used so that they didn't have to make big holes in the wall and in the end everything came out exactly as we dreamed it would. Electric Green was so flexible. These poor guys, we kept adding or changing things as we went along and they took it all in stride. Nice guys to work with. Not only would I recommend them but we will definitely use them again on our next project.

Granted, I only used Electric Green to hang a ceiling light, but the care and attention to detail they showed for what was a pretty small project really impressed me. Their staff showed up on time, were friendly and professional, and not expensive - their charges were definitely less than what I was expecting to pay.
What really won me over was their strive for perfection. Once they hung the light, I thought it looked great. Miguel and the rest of his team from EG weren't satisfied, though. They noticed what I didn't - the light hung a little cock-eyed. After trying a few times to get it straightened out, they realized there was a slight flaw in the glass that prohibited it from hanging right. They called the store where I bought the fixture, took a picture of the defect, and emailed it to the store.
Once the replacement light came back in, Miguel and his crew stopped by the store, picked up the new light, brought it to my house and hung it up, then took the defective unit back to the store (not their store, mind you), for no additional fee!
So, while I was just a small job for this company, they really went out of their way to make sure everything was done perfectly. This is my new go-to place for anything electrical - when I make the switch to solar they're going to be my first call.
