Howe Electric
Company Overview
Electrical solutions, upgrades, and troubleshooting.
Howe Electric proudly serves the Santa Barbara community.
I cherish living here, so my aim is to deliver the highest quality service and craftsmanship this area deserves.
The mission of Howe Electric reflects the work ethic my Grandfather taught me when I was young.
Starting as a remodel and electrical service contractor, I have evolved to provide engineering, troubleshooting, commercial repairs, energy audits, home automation, and full solar installation services.
Greetings, I’m Theo, the owner/operator of Howe Electric.
I have been involved in the electrical field since I was young, but I officially began my apprenticeship in 1989.
After five years in that role, I moved to Santa Barbara in 1995.
I established Howe Electric in 2002, and since then, I have expanded into home automation, solar installations, home audio systems, CCTV/security installations, as well as remodels and service work.

Recommended Customer Reviews

Theo is the man! A true Santa Barbara native working hard to serve our community. I hired Theo to help me with a blown service panel. Theo was honest, straight up and got the work done promptly. I highly recommend Theo for your electrical needs. Thx again !

Theo was super professional. He can when scheduled, charged what he quoted and was cheaper than any of the other recommended licensed Telsa charger installation companies. I couldn't say enough good things.

Excellent services! I'm currently doing a little remodel here and there...Theo always managed to make time for me when I call/text him. His prices are fair and he work as fast as he can so that you get the most out of him while he's at the job site. He's really honest with his hours when you're not there and while you're there at the job site. What I like about Theo is that he has a great personality and that's because he likes his job and cares about his customers.

Theo came out to the house the day we called him about a short we had. It took some detective work to find the problem and he explained thoroughly what he was doing as he went along. It took awhile and I felt he had a very fair price for the time it took to fix the problem. The next day the short happened again, he came almost immediately back to the house and found upon further investigation what was really wrong. I have almost zero electrical knowledge he explained in layman terms what was happening and very personable.

Great service at a fair price. Theo came out on a Saturday at short notice to fix a power outage due to a faulty connection. He identified the problem and had it fixed in a few minutes and took the time to show me the issue and explain the cause.
I'll definitely use him again in the future.
