Company Overview

Ojai's trusted source for electrical services. I specialize in minor electrical repairs and installations. Please note I hold an apprentice electrician license (ET#51488) but do not have a C10 license. My work is limited to minor electrical jobs as per CA.B&P Code $7048. I also offer home theater setups, flat screen TV mounting, and smart home device installations. I handle installations for Nest and Ring smart devices, low-voltage lighting, and cat6 data cables. I provide installation services for Starlink dishes, ceiling fans, and window air conditioning units. I pride myself on being dependable, budget-friendly, polite, and fully insured.

I started Home Service & Installation in Ojai to address the need for a responsive handyman adept at handling wiring jobs. I handle not only electrical work but also elegant home theater installations and repairs. I can tackle repairs on various items, including antique lamps and trailer lights.

Meet Michael Rivers, a tech enthusiast. His college job was at Creative Stereo in Santa Barbara, where he specialized in selling and installing premium audio systems and massive projection TVs. After earning his degree at Brooks Institute, he took on a role as a television editor in Hollywood. He also designed and constructed cutting-edge editing suites. He is now an electrician-trainee registered with the state of California (ET T51488), which necessitates approved classroom instruction and skills in math, the National Electric Code, and blueprint reading.

Mike is a pro, but most importantly, he is on time, courteous, and his prices are reasonable. I can't recommend him highly enough. We've had him here for about 4 different jobs in the last year or so, and he has pleasantly surprised us each time. He came up with some great ideas for landscape lighting that would solve our problems lighting a dark sideyard. I'm done looking for electricians. This is the guy.

I needed internet service installed physically at my home in Ojai and I remember how great Michael Rivers was from a previous problem he worked on. Michael was at my place in no time and installed a whole system that required electrical expertise plus some creative intuition. He was fast and worked hard.
I now have great service and a very pleasant memory of his skill, patience and honest nature. Thank you Michael.

My husband and I had a different experience from the people who wrote 5-star reviews. We would not hire Michael again. Not because of the work product but because of his attitude and demeanor. Without going into specifics, interacting with him was a negative experience. I had a few questions I was waiting to ask him when he finished the job. Little things, plus I offered to pay for the extra time. This seemed to be the catalyst for him losing his cool with us. He was reactive and unprofessional. His behavior was inappropriate for someone who comes to your house to do a job.

Michael Rivers did a great job of coming up with a creative solution to a tricky installation of a receptacle in our basement where no electrical source existed. The result was a tight fitting and out of the way conduit that connected the receptacle from another source. We felt confident in the precautions he was taking to create a safe and up-to-code electrical pathway. Thanks Michael!

Michael Rivers is our go-to guy for all things electrical or electronic. We have thrown a few curves at him. but he really delivers. He removed a ceiling fixture, and installed a new one whose installation parts and instructions were a problem, but he solved it. And such a really nice guy!

Stop looking, This is the man for the job! Michael Rivers is quick to respond, starts the job on time, and thoroughly plans the job as to not waste time. Mike installed a Ring alarm system for me a very clean job, he had it up and running and adjusted in a very reasonable amount of time. You can't go wrong hiring Mike for many home projects! I already have a list of items for him to complete.
