Residential Electrical Consultants

I contacted Jospeh at R.E.C. after another company did a ""no show'. They replied to me immediately, discussed options and set up an appointment to install my EV wall charger the next business day.
They were organized and fast and the work was quality. I recommend them if you need an honest and reliable electrician.

I needed some minor electrical repairs for my house and went to YELP. I saw the excellent rating for Residential Electrical Consultants and gave them a try. This was a smart move for at least 2 reasons. 1) Joseph came by the same day I called him and is a personable, experienced, and an excellent electrician who completed the tasks I had on time and reasonably priced. 2) I now have a reliable, local electrician in my lineup. Thanks to Yelp and Joseph I've got reliable electrician for the long term. So I'm making the effort to share this find with Yelpers in San Diego.

The outlets blend in perfectly as if they were always there. The residential electric team was prompt, professional, and efficient. I had 3 new outlets installed, and they managed to do so without creating any extra holes in my walls. The one hole that was necessary was expertly patched, leaving no trace. The pricing was also very fair and reasonable. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend Joseph--he was quick, knowledgeable, and generous! An entire wall's sockets in my kitchen had lost power. Turned out that a circuit breaker switch had tripped. But it wouldn't stay on and was a bit wobbly. I searched on Yelp and found Joseph rated highly. He answered my call quickly. After I explained the problem he asked me to text a photo/video of the board. I did so, and he called back within about 40min. He said he'd be able to walk me through how I can safely fix it on my own. I had to turn that switch off fully and push it to one end till it clicked. And voila, all those sockets were back to normal! Situation resolved safely via one short phone call and he didn't want to charge me anything. I was so impressed with his professionalism and generosity that I just had to come write this review. Thank you again for the quick help, Joseph! Now I know who to call the next time I have an electrical issue.

Joseph was great ! He was communicative and was able to come over the next day. He had a great energy vibe about him and he obviously knew what he was doing. He gave an honest opinion of his thoughts, and we appreciated his expertise for deciding what we should do next. Highly recommend Joseph.

Had a problem with a space heater used for a year suddenly causing the circuit breaker to trip. Joseph came out checked out the circuit, checked out the electrical receptacle. I mean took them apart and gave me a couple of options to check out next time as everything seemed fine and the heater did not trip it while he was here. We had a great conversation, very personable. When he went to leave I asked how much I owed him and he said ""nothing""! I said no way and wouldn't let him do that, but he truly didn't expect anything. I LOVE honest, nice, conscientious people and respect the work they do. If I need an electrician again, Joseph will be my go to.

Would give 6 stars if possible
It's hard to find trustworthy professionals these days...Joseph is certainly that.
Prompt, professional, fair prices, and friendly. He fixed a nagging electrical socket in less time than it takes me to shut off the breaker.
I've saved his number and he's my go-to guy now.
Seems insignificant, but he offered to take off his boots before coming in...I appreciate that, and it's a reflection of his character.

I can't recommend Joseph from Residential Electric Consultants enough. After a rainstorm, our power started cycling on and off, and we were in a pinch Sunday morning trying to save breast milk in the freezer. Joseph, the owner, (the only one of several electricians in San Diego we contacted that were supposedly 24/7 who responded) even though we weren't in his service area. He called back genuinely concerned, saying he has kids himself, and offered to drop everything, leave his family on a Sunday, and come out to us.

When he arrived, he explained the issue in detail and even refused payment when he saw the situation we were in. Who does that these days? Since then, we've had him back for other electrical work, and my husband and I are continually impressed by his professionalism and knowledge. He's thorough, explains everything, and everything is done clearly and above board--no ""cowboy"" behavior here.

At this point, we feel like we've found a family friend. Joseph is genuinely good, not just in it for the money, and we couldn't be happier to support his business.

I highly recommend Residential Electrical! Joseph and his team are knowledgeable, professional and considerate. Their work required them to be at our home for 2.5 days. It was a pleasure to see Julian everyday. We will continue with Joseph for all of our electrical needs.

Joseph just gained a loyal client for life!

One of the canned lights in our kitchen started malfunctioning after an interior painting job. We thought the canned light needed a replacement. Today, Sunday, 10/27th, my husband attempted to replace the light that resulted in a short-circuit tripping off the breaker.

We contacted several different Yelp recommended electricians in the area and spoke with 2. The other business quoted as immediately before asking what the problem is. Joseph, on the other hand, asked what the issue is and had us send him photos and told us what's wrong and give us step by step instructions on how to fix the problem. And I want to add that he was at a family Sunday event but was willing to come to our house later in the day if we were not able to follow his instructions. Fortunately, my husband was able to follow Joseph's instructions and our electrical problem was fixed at no cost. I am writing this review as an appreciation of Joseph and his business.

We will definitely call Joseph again for any and all future electrical works at our house!
