I phoned Mr Owens for a few electrical problems at my home. I new door bell ringer reinstalled and work on outdoor low voltage lights.
He responded and installed the doorbell ringer which I supplied. Then he went to the back yard where I showed him the problem with the lights that had been installed years earlier.

Mr Owen told me the lights couldn't be fix and to go to San Carlos on Branston Ewing Irrigation. I bought eight low voltage lights fitting Mr. Owens requirements. The eight lights cost me 499.10 total.

I brought them home and called Mr Owens told him I have the lights. He came by and told me the lights wouldn't work and return them. I went back to Ewings which told me they didn't do returns. All sales are final. I am now stuck with 8 lights that won't work in my outdoor light system. Mr. Owens told me he would look for replacements.
Two weeks later Mr Owens told me he couldn't find lights that would work.

Three weeks later I got a invoice for $350.00 owed to him. Mr. Owens connected a doorbell ring only. I bought the bell. Now he is charging me $350.00. Wow I thought that was totally outrageous. He cost me $499.10 of useless lights
.Please let me know what you think
Thank you

It's the customer service for us!

Thursday night, a loud, schrilling alarm went off outside our home. This went on through Saturday! (Embarrassing to be ""that house""). Upon investigation, we narrowed down the possible source: our solar panels. Naturally, we called our solar company so they could send someone out to assist us. We spent hours and hours waiting for them to assist -- TO NO AVAIL! They were no help at all. LT called around to different companies seeing if they would be willing to come out. After several companies declined, he called Owens Electric & Solar. Without hesitation, Jeff stayed on the phone with LT instructing him how to handle it. The alarm is now off and we are thankful! We would definitely recommend Owens Electric & Solar because it all starts and ends with customer service.


Thanks again!

I was ripped off, by Owns Electric. He charged $1000 for a job that should have taken 1.5 hours tops and cost just a few hundred dollars. All I needed was to change 5 or 6 smoke detectors. He took advantage of me because he knew I needed help and did not understand the work that needed to be performed to fix the problem. When I called for a follow up months later it was because, I was unable to fix the fire alarms/detectors, he then told me to figure it out myself he is enjoying his Saturday and had plans already... he would then charge me double the cost of more to have him come fix it. Being a client of him I was very put off by his unprofessionalism, all I needed was some assistance and help but that was too much for him to pick up his phone and explain to me what to do Because he installed everything.

I usually do not write reviews but I felt it was necessary. Do not hire him, he was take advantage of you and at the end of the day no one deserves that, especially as a paying customer. He will take advantage because he knows he can and will not even give you an estimate before the work begins. Don't waste your money on him, not worth it.

Jeff came out after we had another electrician totally misdiagnosed our problem. Of course the other electrician wanted to charge us $6,000 for a circuit box that did not need to be replaced. Jeff said we were fine and replaced a dimmer light switch. Jeff was prompt, friendly, professional, knowledgeable and reasonably priced. Found Jeff on yelp. Glad I did.

I checked with Owens Electric after talking with another company that asked me to go out & buy the replacement fixtures. Because my time was very limited, I checked the listings again & called Owen's Electric.

Scheduling was easy. I explained the project & made the appointment. Everything worked like clockwork. Jeff had all that was needed on the truck, he came in & replaced all the parts & got our fixture working as promised.

I was very happy I remembered the name of their company from past good experiences.

This was a great fix for me & my family.

Jeff says he will call you back. He says he is working in it. He is not Working on it. He doesn't call back. Jeff wastes your time. That's the worst part. Don't bother with this business.

Jeff, owner of Owen's Electric & Solar, was incredibly professional and did fantastic work (and very quickly). I would whole heartedly recommend Jeff and without a doubt next time we need electrical work - Jeff would be our first call. In fact, our condo complex was having a security camera installed and Jeff was hired to do that work. Thank you, Jeff!

The professionalism and willingness to help here is absolutely amazing. Generally I consider myself a pretty handy person, but a circuit failing for no apparent reason had me completely stumped. When he said it was probably something simple, my DIY stubbornness kicked in. What do you mean simple? I've been working on this since last night! But as soon as he said ""did you check your GFI outlets?"" I ate a big piece of humble pie. The garage circuit feeds one outlet in the living room that I hadn't checked. Problem solved over the phone, no charge.

My only regret is that I didn't call Jeff before my girlfriend called my father-in-law to let him know I couldn't fix it. :)
