Our EV car charger overheated and melted the outlet before the circuit breaker was tripped
It shut down inside and outside lights plus the pool pump.
Called La Costa Electric and they were able to come out the next day.
Lou was on time and took care of the electrical issue.
Highly recommend this company.

Overall, they did what they said they would, when they said they would. i think their prices are a bit high.

* I called to have them troubleshoot three outlets that were not working
* they quoted $250 to troubleshoot that would be applied toward repair
* I asked them to plan on replacing three physical outlets
* They called 15 minutes before appointment time and said they were on the way and they showed up on time
* The found the problem (faulty breaker) very quickly, then replaced the breaker and replaced three outlets
* total time hour and fifteen minutes

Bill:
$340 to troubleshoot then replace breaker
$225 (parts and labor) to replace three standard outlets
Total $565

I don't use electricians often so not sure how they compare. Giving them four stars for showing up on time and resolving the problem. Taking off a star because I feel like the service was overly expensive. Receipt attached.

Ridiculously expensive quotes for everything (3-4 times more expensive than quotes I received from other electricians). Not sure how good their work is since I never went with them, but since I have to select a rating, I'm picking 3 just based upon on price alone (assuming their work is good). But wanted to warn folks who haven't gotten competing quotes about how expensive they are for various different things - from just changing an outlet to adding a circuit or a ring camera etc.

After speaking with Joe and sending pictures and a video he quoted me a price of $1500 to fix the issue and when I paused, he stated they have great Yelp reviews. We had a wired outlet that went around the door frame, which required proper wiring through the drywall. He stated they would be over in less than an hour to do the initial work and would return on Monday to complete it. He also said once they assess the situation in person they could give me a more accurate quote. Well, after at most 3 hours probably more like 2, I was presented with a bill for $1500. So if you break it down that's either $500 or $750 per hour. After posting my experience on Nextdoor for feedback and calling other electricians to get quotes, I got screwed. The work was good, price was not so much.

Called back within a couple hours on a Saturday. Was able to diagnose my situation with some pictures i texted through. Very knowledgeable about car charger installs. I will definitely have them do the install when i proceed.

I would highly recommend La Costa Electric! I received a return call from Brock the same day I had left a message. I explained my request to him and text photos of the areas involved. He called me immediately after review and we discussed, in further detail, my request for the installation of a more convenient on/off switch for a hot water heater recirculating pump. When asked, he gave me an approximate amount for such services that I found reasonable, and an appointment was made. All said and done within 3 days of my call, I had an appointment and the job was completed by Lou with much attention to detail and cleanliness which I have found to be rare. Thank you very much for a great job!

We wanted recessed lighting installed in family room. We used La Costa Electric a few months ago to install a new outlet in our garage for a fridge and to install some new ceiling fans - they did a great job.

Brock responded to our request quickly. We sent pictures of the room so he could give us a quote. Brock's quote was consistent with a few other places we called. I suppose new lighting is pretty straightforward install. We went with La Costa Electric since we had such a good experience the last time. They were able to get us scheduled within a couple days of calling.

On the day of install, Brock and Joe showed up on time, ready to go. They were very friendly and knowledgeable. They had to cut a few holes in the wall to run wiring to the new lights. They cut the holes neatly and had sheets down to capture any dust. They made sure to cut the holes near the studs and even drilled the drywall pieces back in place. We need to get a drywall person to help patch the holes so we appreciate how tidy they left the area. Overall, they did a great job and we'll definitely call them again!

I had an electrical issue that needed immediate attention. I called around to several places and Brock called me back within minutes after I left a message.

I told him what was going on and he immediately knew what the problem was and how to resolve it. He was also able to fit me into their schedule, even on such short notice.

Lou was at my place within the hour and took care of the issue for me. BUT, not only did he address the problem I called about, he also asked questions about other things that could've caused the breaker to shut off and didn't leave until he was satisfied that everything was good to go and I didn't have anything to worry about.

I would definitely recommend La Costa Electrical and they will certainly be my ""go to"" whenever I need electrical work done.

Thank you Lou and Brock!!

I contacted La Costa Electric just before Christmas to replace some switches to my hallway light and they scheduled someone the very next day. The electrician that came out was very helpful and did a wonderful job. I will certainly call La Costa Electric for any future electrical jobs I have.

Professional, knowledgeable and honestly generous.

I had been trying to figure out why my electrical plugs were out for a few weeks. I finally relented and called La Costa Electrical. Brock promptly picked up the phone on a Sunday morning and took the time to hear me out. He explained and walked me through the fix over the phone, telling me to call him back if I had further issues - which I did to report my success.
I'm bowled over by his kindness and would give six stars if I could!
