Tim is great and has reasonable pricing on projects. He's very accommodating with last minute requests.

I give this business 5 stars. I needed an electrical outlet last minute. I called other electrical companies before I found this company and did not get the service I wanted. When I called, I spoke to Tim. He was quick to set an appointment to come to my home. When he got there, he was courteous. He gave me options for the outlet and ways to save money. I loved how he was so clean. He covered the floor and furniture before starting his work. He even asked if we wanted his shoes off before entering the home. He was very fast in completing the work. He even vacuumed the carpet. Awesome job. Highly recommended.

I'm an online IT Technician and my power keeps shorting out due to overloading. My job recommended this place. They are a little on the pricey side, but did a good job of repairing my overloaded circuits. Now I don't have to worry about losing work because everything sporadically shuts off. They arrived on time, did the job over the course of a couple of days and viola. I am extremely happy I can put this behind me.

Tim was great to work with. I had a fairly extensive and urgent installation needed, and Tim was over that day to give me an estimate. He explained everything in detail, with a fair price. Tim returned a few days later, was here for most of the day, but did an awesome job. Couldn't ask for better. highly recommend Mission Electrical Service.

Thanks again Tim for helping on such short notice.

Tim is customer service oriented, nice guy, fair but not cheap pricing.
He has done several jobs from upgrading service to moving electric panels and adding circuit breakers. Old building almost 100 years old and he had no issues. I would recommend him to anyone needing honest , clean, and prompt service.

I have lived in my home for over 25 years and have had a number of electricians put in downlighting, hang chandelier lighting, fix electrical circuits that are overloaded, put in landscape lighting, install motion detectors around the house, add light switches, etc. Tim is by far the best electrician I have ever had.

I called him because he had helped us out when our tankless water heater was installed several years ago. My plumber knew him and recommended him. Several weeks ago, I left Tim a message stating what I wanted and he promptly returned my call. He arrived in a day to survey the work that needed to be done and then emailed me a written estimate. Tim's estimate seemed reasonable considering the amount of work he had to do. He got rid of track lights in 3 bedrooms and put in downlighting, His judgment as to how many LED lights I needed and where to place them was perfect. In addition, he replaced dozens of track light fixtures in another room where downlighting could not be installed. He did this at my request for a certain sized LED bulb I wanted in the fixtures. He did such a nice job that I also had him change out the light switches and plugs throughout the house.

Tim always arrived on the day he said he would and was always on time. If he knew he might be even 30 min late, he would text or call me. He was neat, professional in every way, and extremely knowledgable. I am so glad I found him to do the work! He's the best!

I came back home and found the 3 light switches that control the same light fixtures along the stairway not working. Luckily it was in the afternoon so I could see a bit, but if it happened at night, I would be walking in pitch-black from the garage up to the second floor. I checked the service panel and tried replacing with new light bulbs, but they still weren't working. I'm a girl who doesn't know much about troubleshooting electrical problems so I didn't even attempt to fix it due to fear of electrocuting myself. Haha. But, thanks to you fellow Yelpers, I found Tim. He came an hour after the call on Saturday afternoon and figured out the problem. The two switches cannot be in the same position for the lights to turn on, which shouldn't be the case if everything was done correctly in the first place. It turned out one of the switches didn't work properly so Tim replaced it with a new one. Now, the light would turn on no matter what position the other switch is in. No need to keep track or freak out anymore. :) I'm so happy with his work and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an honest electrician.

FYI: He also works after hours, too!

Tim charged me to come out and give an estimate on a Friday. $148 to be exact. I was given a quote for $300 to fish a wire a few feet to the garbage disposal outlet/switch and one other outlet less than 2 feet away. I was desperate and tired of the problem so I gave him the go ahead. Plus who wants to pay $150 for a troubleshoot and estimate? He had to punch a hole in the wall to fish the wire over, which I asked him not to do. He then proceeded to tell me that in order to get power to my above-the-stove microwave, he'd have to run a dedicated line and tear up my (freshly painted) walls and ceiling, then gave me quote of $900. I had previously had another electrician come out (free estimate) who said the same thing, only he wouldn't tear up my walls and it would only cost $250 (DON'T TELL HIM WHAT ANYONE ELSE TELLS YOU, HE WILL EXPLOIT IT). I politely declined and paid him $450 to fish some wire to a few outlets. Total rip off.

The next day I had Robert's Electric come out for an estimate. They also charge about $150 to troubleshoot and estimate. They fished the wire to my above-the-stove microwave outlet from an outlet he had fished power to the previous day for only $100 (so basically he could have just run the wire up to the other outlet a couple feet away). Problem solved.

Later that next day, I look under my sink and notice that there are wet paper towels in there where Tim had been working. Water is dripping from the hot water valve, all over my brand new cabinets and flooring. He must have noticed it was wet because he used the paper towels to clean it up! Only, he failed to mention it to me.

Another thing, he broke the (freshly painted) wall around every outlet/switch that he worked on and had to use spackle to fix it, and did so very haphazardly. You're an electrician and you cannot remove and replace a face plate without damaging walls?


Do yourself a favor, go to someone else. I wonder if those other reviews are even real.

Called Tim for a service call for a problematic GFI outlet in my kitchen. He was here right on time. He solved the problem quickly and professionally. Many thanks Tim!

I'm a person who has a wide range of skills working around the house and therefore do not invite contractors to my house. I needed to upgrade my service panel from 125 amps to 200 amps and install a 230 volt line in the garage for a new lathe. This type of work is not one of those skills sets I have. I struggled to find a trust worthy contractor until I came across Tim at Mission Electric.

I did receive a wide range of quotes and Tim's was very competitive. After spending 20 minutes or so with Tim I got the sense he was honest and capable of doing the job correct the first time. He is very honest and dependable. He did everything he said he was going to do and on the time frame he provided.

His quote also provided the permit fees and he managed SDG&E with no problems (at least from my view point). Since I'm very picky I chose to do the stucco and match the texture and color.

He did complete the job in one day as previously committed. He actually had the power back on in the house in about 5 hours. I don't remember the exact time so don't quote me on this.

The job has been complete for a few weeks and thoroughly enjoying my new lathe thanks to Tim.

If you need electrical work (big or small) I would highly recommend him. He is a one man show so your work request does not bounce around from person to person like other electrical companies.

If I ever need additional electrical work done I will definitely call Mission Electric.

Tim, YOU ROCK!
