Late one evening we had heard some intermittent but unexplained booms outside our house but couldn't find the source. When my daughter arrived late that night she actually witnessed the electrical panel making the noise and throwing sparks! By this time it was nearly midnight. She woke us up and being very afraid to go back to sleep, I got on yelp and google and decided to call Innovative Electrical Services based on the other reviewers recommendations. While talking to the answering service, my husband carefully shut down our breaker and started a portable generator to run our freezer and fridge. We called the number and scheduled an urgent but not emergency appointment for 8-10am.
Walter must have called us as soon as he read his messages early in the morning and made sure we were safe. He showed up as scheduled and resolved our problem in an hour and a half including his trip to the store for parts. Walter was very thorough, professional and reassuring during a very scary time! All our questions were answered and the problem explained thoroughly. He had us up and running and checked our other panels as well to verify we were good to go and had no more worries. His prompt and thorough actions were very much appreciated :). We now have a trusted electrician to call should any needs arise, who comes highly recommended! Another 5 stars for Walter and Innovative Electrical Services!!! Thank you Walter!

I highly recommend Walter and his crew from Innovative Electrical Service. I hired Walter to install a fan in a bathroom that lacks good ventilation. There is no attic access to the area but he was able to install the fan without any difficulty. I am very pleased with the fan he chose. It makes such a difference. Walter and his two crew members also helped with some other projects. They are a great bunch of guys. I am planning on having them back for more electrical projects.

Walter is amazing! This is my third time using him and I called him on an emergent basis today and he showed up when it was 115°! He fixed my problem with a smile the whole time! I have had him put a new electrical plugins, and many other electrical odd jobs! He stands behind his product and all of his work is guaranteed! I cannot give him a higher star than five but if I could I would!

Walter and IES are the best! I had one of the best experiences with him that I have ever had with a contractor. I had Walter come out to install a bathroom fan that had been damaged during a roofing project and trace an electrical short that was tripping a breaker. He did a great job on the install and was able to trace down the short through an unusual electrical set up in my older home. It was traced to and attic fan that was damaged by the roofer. Walter took a ton of pictures for me to show the roofer and even then, the roofer didn't want to take responsibility. Walter showed up at my place to meet with me and the roofer, lined out exactly what he did and the roofer agreed to pay. Walter didn't have to go that extra mile and he didn't ask to be compensated for his extra time meeting the roofer. He is a class guy that does great work and cares about his customers.

Walter put in a new electrical panel and power transfer panel, so we can transfer to our generator during power outages. His work is impeccable. He made sure everything worked well and looked nice. His workmanship is high quality. He communicated when he would be here, if any changes needed to be made. He is very professional and personable. We will definitely call him again if we have an electrical need.

Walter is an outstanding electrician. He has done a number of projects at our home including installing designer lights and fans (outside and inside) with remote controls, landscape lighting and fixing GFI's. Always very professional with a great attitude and personality. Quite responsive with creative solutions including eliminating tearing up sheet rock to install wiring to new lights in our kitchen counter area. Every project he has done here works perfectly and he always says to call him if it doesn't which we have never had to do. We recommend Walter highly without reservation and he will continue to be our go-to electrician.

Had some trouble with the pendant lights above our kitchen island. Called Walter this morning and was able to work me in this afternoon. Diagnosed the issued quickly and changed the dimmer switch. Lights are working perfectly now. Will definitely use again if I need an electrician.

We had to get our main breaker replaced (which left us without power in the middle of summer) and not only was Walter one of the only electricians that answered his phone after-hours, he squeezed us into his already full schedule and came out to Penn Valley the next morning to help us. He was knowledgeable and friendly - we would definitely recommend!

Able to accommodate us and change out a few electrical boxes just so they match as we slowly update our home. Will definitely call upon Walter for future work.

We lost power on Saturday during the heatwave, generator kept AC and refrigerator going.
Walter came out on Fathers Day to troubleshoot an old old electric panel and wiring. He is methodical and detail oriented- found a few issues and resolved them, restored power quickly. Prices are very reasonable, he is friendly, knowledgeable and professional master of his craft.
I will be looking forward to him working on some large projects on our residence.
Give him a try! He won't disappoint
