Herbert and Sons Electric

Responded to phone call quickly which can't be said for the two other electricians we call. Very professional but only 4 stars because price for simple work done was outrageous.

My grandmother lives in a really old house in Simi Valley that has frequent electrical issues. Rocky has been incredibly helpful and really understands her vulnerability living alone. He is so quick to go out and resolve each new issue as it comes up.
I live two hours away and can't always drive down right away. It makes me feel so much better that he knows her, responds quickly and professionally, is easily reachable and knows what he's doing.
Highly recommended!

The answering service for this company is excellent, it was easy to set up an appointment. They are very busy, and I scheduled for a quote for a month away but unfortunately no one showed up at the scheduled two-hour time window. I called to inquire and 45 minutes later got a call from the technician that he had no reception to inform us of his delay and is on his way and will be there in another 45 minutes. We had to cancel because of other engagements. Although we can't comment on his work but considering that he is so busy, we may try to reschedule at a future date and update review.

I've had Herbert & Sons Electric out on multiple occasions for new and repair work, in my previous and current home. They are just fantastic. On top of the basics you expect from an electrician (being licensed, insured, knowledgeable, etc.), Rocky makes suggestions that you might not have even considered and then goes above and beyond to do things the right way the first time. I can't say enough how much that's appreciated in an industry where so many others know they can just hide bad work in the walls. When someone asks for an electrician I always say, ""I know a guy.""

My mother had an outlet that caught fire so I called and asked if they could send someone the next afternoon. Rocky called back right away. I explained that I would have to meet him at my mom's because she is elderly and gets confused. He asked me what time I could get there and arranged his schedule around me. When he met my mother he immediately assessed he situation and went to extra lengths to make sure she would be okay. He replaced the outlet, checked the breaker box, asked if the smoke alarm went off when the outlet smoked then checked it to be sure it was working. He even wiped off the black around the outlet. When he left my mother wasn't able to plug her fan into the outlet. I called Rocky and he came right back to check it. It was just hard because it was new so he loosened up the holes, plugged in the fan and turned it on. Happy mom. Happy me.
I did have a bit of trouble. He said he emailed me my receipt from his tablet. It didn't arrive in my email so I had to ask him a few times to resend. He did.

I have known and used Rocky Herbert as my electrician both personally and professionally at work for 5 years now, and I can say without a doubt, he is one of the best and most trusted individuals I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I know I if I have a project or problem, Rocky will handle it in a professional and timely manner. He charges fair prices for his high quality of work and goes the extra mile to ensure everything is done to code, the correct and safe way. I have used many electricians over the years for different projects or issues, and Rocky is now my go to guy that I can trust and rely on to give me the straight scoop on whatever the need may be.

I had Rocky come out and upgrade my main panel. All the breakers I had are over 50 years old and some will not reset. I was replacing my roof and the service mast was needed to be relocated so it wasn't over the patio cover. His pricing was very fair and the professionalism was superb. I've used him a few times before for a few minor jobs. This was a pretty big job and he didn't stop when it started raining. Who works on electrical stuff when it rains??? I like how he drives a fully stocked truck and never had to leave to pick up needed parts. This made it possible to wrap up the project quickly so I was able to finish my project. I recommend this company for any electrical repair.

I had a dead short that took out a hospital bed, clocks and a TV. I had just replaced my HVAC system. So I called Family Air and Jerry the Owner came out early the next morning to check it out. He Called Rocky and he showed up a couple of hours later and found and fixed the problem, at a very reasonable price. Excellent service! I would highly recommend this firm as this was a potential fire hazard. By the way the problem was not caused by Family Air that is also, a 5 star company. When you hire the best they typically refer the best.

I wish I knew how to rate a half star and that would be because he showed up. Unfortunately this company did not meet my expectations. I was told over the phone that and inspection was 300.00 and an after hour estimate was 59.00 well I definitely over paid because I got a inspection done and he emailed me a estimate. A four liner this is NOT ok I would like a refund for this after hour estimate. Please do your research before selecting a company especially this one.

We had a lot of recessed lighting installed by Herbert and Sons when we purchased our home in 2005. They arrived on time, did excellent electrical work, clean up was great, they're very personable, professional and trustworthy. I work from home and Rocky and his crew were very considerate about the noise level and interruptions while working. Other contractors have left black fingerprints on our white ceilings when getting into the attic and Rocky and his crew have no problem at all when I ask them to wash their hands when they arrive - they get it and are extremely accommodating when you request things like this. We've had them back several times since 2005 to install ceiling fans, smoke detectors and additional lighting throughout the house. The trucks are always supplied with parts and equipment needed to complete the job and they work very efficiently. During this last visit before any sawing was done in the ceiling Rocky placed round stickers on the ceiling to give me a visual for where the lights would be placed. He also noticed that our smoke detectors were outdated, which was on the ""honey-do"" list. He gave me a price and they were installed during the same visit, which was awesome! The communication is excellent throughout the process as they want to ensure that you're more than satisfied with their work. With every visit back to our home, Rocky and his crew are consistently on time, professional and the work is thorough and top-notch. It's very easy to talk with them to explain what you want, they make good recommendations and suggestions without any pressure, they go out of their way to do nice things for their customers and they walk into your home with a smile and positive attitude. They've stood the test of time and their track record is definitely consistent - I would very highly recommend Herbert and Sons to anyone who needs electrical work. We will definitely be calling back when we remodel the master bathroom in a few months!
