Point Loma

Recently purchased condo in Pacific Beach and the inspection report identified several electrical issues we were afraid we're going to be major repairs. Point Loma was able to schedule for the exact day and time I needed. Taylor arrived right on time. He reviewed the inspection report, checked everything out, explained what needed to be done and had an estimate for me within 30 minutes. He did not have one part on his truck so when he called in to have part delivered the owner of the company walked him through a different process and the price dropped a $100. I am very satisfied with the work that was done, I do not feel any corners were cut yet I was charged a VERY reasonable price based on other estimates I had received. I would highly recommend this company and if I every have a need again Point Loma electric will definitely be who I call.

We waited a week for our friend electrician who bombed out on us. So now we needed someone pronto and Pt Loma Electric fit us in that day. What a relief!

Ramone and Adam were here from 4-9pm without charging us an overtime or rush fee. They fixed everything we asked for and it took 2 hours to locate the source of trouble. They also discovered faulty wiring in our attic connecting two bedroom ceiling fans. They volunteered to stay and get it all done at once if we could make a decision. Once they showed us pictures of the horrible work up there, we decided to pay for that too. They explained everything and answered all my questions. They are expensive but worth it. 4 Handymen turned this job down first and we now think they could not have handled it anyway.....another electric company referred me to them because they could not get to us for a week and a half.

I called and requested a bathroom fan to be replaced - I had the new fan. There were also a couple of switches and an outlet that needed to be checked for what the switches belonged to and the outlet worked intermittently. They were able to come quickly to check it out and the guys that showed up were friendly and professional. Here comes the BUT(!): They couldn't check the outlet because they didn't bring their tools. They would have to charge me for diagnostics if they checked it, and they said I wouldn't like the price (no doubt). They informed me that it would cost $755 to replace the fan (that I already bought)! It took a few minutes of are you serious?! Did you mean 7 hundred and 55 dollars?!!! For a bathroom fan?! Before I realized that they were serious. They went on to explain that the condo would be considered a commercial building and they would have to use special wiring and boxes etc. BS! The special wiring and boxes are already there in the ceiling, they would just have to connect the fan wires.
Anyway long story short. I called another electrician who is installing the fan for $90 max and will find out where the switches go and fix the outlet for tops $150.
I felt like I was getting the bend-over special with Point Loma Electric.I still don't understand why they couldn't tell me over the phone that installing a bathroom fan would cost $755 and that the guys could not check the outlet and switches without an exorbitant fee.
Again, the guys were nice but it had to be awkward for them to actually have to try to make sense of the crazy pricing.

Had previously used Point Loma Electric for some wiring mods in our garage so expected good, but not cheap, work when our 8 year old Bosch dishwasher stopped working. First called a factory certified appliance repairman who thoroughly disassembled/reassembled it before announcing it was an electrical problem - instead of 120v the dishwasher was only getting 55v. Called and got on Point Loma's standby list and they fit me in early the next day. Evidently their $30 service fee is just for them showing up - they listened to my story then wanted $250 for a 'Level 1 Diagnostic and Quick Repair' - with no guarantee they could find or fix the problem. I was skeptical that a quick repair was possible since the dishwasher was on a dedicated 20 amp circuit - if it wasn't the unit itself, must be either the circuit breaker or wiring in between, right?? Charlie & Edgar troubleshot and bounced ideas off each other for about an hour and I was beginning to imagine torn out walls to repair a rat chewed wire somewhere. Then Edgar had the idea to check nearby electrical outlets - bingo. They found a loose neutral wire which meant that outlet was working fine but was intermittently causing problems with the dishwasher. Interesting fact: that outlet hadn't been worked on for over 18 months, when we had the kitchen counter tops replaced. They quickly fixed the problem and everything is running properly again. In all, an excellent diagnostic by smart, personable professionals - and don't regret the cost at all. Highly recommended.

Office was professional and efficient. Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience with the electrician. Our electricity in of the rooms went out intermittently and the electrician who came told us that we needed to replace all the light switches in the room. Later he found out that some of the connections in the junction boxes were bad and that they needed to be fixed. We spent a total of $700 already when he recommended more work. I got a second opinion from another electrician and he found that a lot of unnecessary work was done. Needless to say that we felt taken advantage of...

I used in the past in 2013 and it was great so I reached out again in 2016. Not at all satisfied the 2nd time. They gave me a window of 2-4pm and called saying running late at 345pm. Arrived around 430pm. The guys did not seem to know what they were doing so I did ask them to leave. I found another electrician and they fixed the issue and charged half as much as the guys said it would take to do a diagnostics. Sad that 2nd time around was no good.

I called over the past weekend when I had an issue with some lights no working after it rained. The owner of the company took my call and was very nice. She said that she would try to get someone out there on Saturday but if not, they would call me first ting on Monday to confirm what time they will be there. It is Tuesday and I never heard from them. I got tired of waiting and called some one this morning who was very responsive and flexible enough to get out with in a couple of hours.

If you decide to go with this company, you will have to follow up to make sure they actually do what they promise. That does not work for me and I will not be using this company again.

I unfortunately had to call an electrician yesterday because some lights were malfunctioning in a few rooms in my house. I went with Point Loma because of some positive reviews on Yelp and Angie's List. They were able to come out the very next day, fix the issue in a very professional manner, give me some advice on what needed to be done eventually (entire breaker box!) without being pushy at all, and speak to me and my family in a very positive manner. I wouldn't hesitate to go back to them. I think they gave me a good price for the job that was done, especially since it was last minute, they worked quick, and explained to me what they were doing at every step of the way which was very helpful!

Had them out for an estimate last summer for my old house. The quoted 4K, I ended up with another electrical recommended by my plumber and paid a third of that.

We are happy repeat customers. The previous owner of our house was a self-declared handyman which means fire hazard. So we've had PLE out for 3 jobs now: 2 minor and 1 major fixing the old handyman's work.

The first job was cutting off an illegally installed outdoor outlet and installing an up-to-code one. Months later we had them out to install a ceiling fan. And finally, we just had them out to replace our electrical panel from an original 1960's push-button to an up-to-code one.

When we had to replace the electrical panel, they took care of everything with SDG&E which in itself can be a headache. We also moved our panel calling for stucco repair which was also part of their service and also required city inspections...again they handled it all.

Every time they have been out it was fast, they were friendly and efficient, and most importantly they did things right. They take pictures, email you receipts, much more high tech then some others out there. They even sent us a holiday card that included a gift card for future work which was unexpected and appreciated.

I trust their work and would use them for any future jobs we have.
