English Electrician

I've always contracted Kim for all jobs, I know he will provide all the knowledge and install everything to code. When I know Kim's on the job I know the job will be done with no worries. I've been using him for 5 years and will always continue to do so. He is so informative and professional. Thanks Kim!!

I highly recommend The English Electrician. He was referred from a friend of a friend and being that my parents are from England it just seemed appropriate to call him.
My 91 year old father lives in LA, I live in San Diego so sometimes finding someone to work on the house is difficult. I called Kim and he was there that day, fixed everything and was very reasonably priced and so nice too! I will be calling him for any electrical needs in the future. Highly recommended!!

Kim Magin is the best. I would rate him a 10 if I could. He had to do a complete re wire (original was done in the 1950's) on my house in Gardena. He went above and beyond what he was required to do. Having had a few bad experiences with shady/overpriced contractors in the past I wasn't very hopeful about the completed work. Once he finished the job I had 2 professional trade opinions given on his work and they both said his work was ""EXCEPTIONAL"". I am so glad that I had him do the work I wouldn't trust any other electrician to do any work for me because he is that good. You can count on him to be Honest, Reliable & Prompt. He will take the time to walk you through the job and explain everything to you.
Thank you Kim & staff for the best job ever..

I called this electrician on a Tuesday at 1:15 and left a message. He never called me back. The next day I called my management company first thing in the morning, and they told me he would be out after 2 pm. Again, I never heard from him even though I called at 3 and ask for an ETA. He finally showed up at 5:40! At that point I was already working with another electrician I had hired. When Mr English showed up, he did not even apologize for his utter and complete lack of communication. He knew I had been without power all day. He may be skilled, but anyone that treats me like that is gone!

Like another reviewer, I too was amazed that all reviews aren't five-star. Kim has been here a couple of times since the original job that I reviewed last August last year. One of the recent jobs was to install a ceiling fan in my condo and the other one was to do some work for the HOA -- installing six new light units in the back exterior of our complex and also replacing a fluorescent light fixture in the garage.

My ceiling fan was to be installed in a ceiling that didn't have any light fixture there previously, so he had to break open holes in the ceiling & wall to route the wiring through. He is really meticulous and professional, taking the time to measure the exact center of the room to be sure it was perfect. One surprise was when he was cutting through drywall, he came across a section that wasn't drywall but concrete. He somehow managed to cut through that -- am not sure how! He took pains to cut the holes as small as possible to make it as easy as possible for the drywall person to repair.

Our HOA president was impressed by Kim's knowledge and professional manner and was very happy with the work he did for our condo complex. In fact, she mentioned that she was going to be contacting him to do some work in her unit.

Kim is a Master Electrician and also a C10 Contractor. He is very knowledgeable of all aspects of home remodeling, not just electrical.

Had Kim out again to actually do some work. Great price, service and work. You can't go wrong with this guy!!

I was amazed to see anything but 5-star reviews of Kim, the English Electrician. I first met Kim when he was part of a team installing air conditioning in my home. I was new to the area, and didn't have a list of tradesmen, but I sure knew I would need such a list in the future. As I watched Kim work, I realized that he would be my first call should any electric issues arise.

Since my first very positive encounter with Kim, he has been to my home numerous times, and I have enthusiastically recommended him to friends. He is honest, willing to go the extra mile, and is a highly qualified electrician. This guy knows his stuff. He has helped fix the terrible wiring that was put into my home, and he has installed needed electricity for a new hot tub and my electric vehicle. First and foremost, I know that I can trust Kim to do the right job, not overcharge me, and show up when he promises.

I suggest you disregard one disgruntled reviewer--who apparently produced two reviews for the same job. I guess I could write 6 or 7 5-star reviews for Kim, but I'll keep it to this one. He is a gem, and once you use him, he will go to the top of your list also.

We hired Kim to do some work on our family home and he didn't complete everything. We would pay for each day of work at the end of day and when we asked about the incomplete work he argued, ""I don't do work that doesn't need to be done."" But I'm the customer, if I want it shouldn't it be done? It was basic work to instal more circuits in the bedrooms. After arriving late & working for 4 hours he gave excuses as to why we didn't need more power to the other rooms. He doesn't answer his phone and his voicemail box is full.

Kim is amazing! He's done an immense amount of work on my home ranging from recessed lighting to a full electric panel overhaul. Kim is collaborative, professional, punctual and very reasonable with his pricing.

Kim takes a great deal of pride in his workmanship and ""we"" (that means you too...haha!!) as customers benefit greatly from this!

Believe me, you won't be disappointed!!!

I would give Kim 10 stars if I could. He is an amazing electrician!!!! He has done multiple jobs at our home:
Rewired the entire house, installed new panel, replaced and added recess lighting, installed ceiling fans, installed the new garage door opener, added outlets in the backyard and tons more.
He's honest, professional, has tons of experience, great ideas and does excellent work. He very clean, neat and is very good at explaining the job in detail to you. I would high recommend him to do any job large or small. He is a blessing.
