Company Overview

I have been in the electrical trade for nearly 40 years. I obtained my contractor's license in January 2004 and have the privilege of collaborating with three of my sons. Our projects range from small rewiring jobs and remodels to the construction of custom homes and light industrial buildings. We possess extensive experience in every aspect of electrical construction and are deeply proud of the craftsmanship we deliver. Every job we complete adheres to code and is backed by a guarantee.

We offer a 10% discount to all Yelp customers. I provide 24-hour emergency service and often offer same-day service. I maintain a liability insurance policy of $1,000,000 for every project.

Since 1985, I have worked with numerous electrical and construction firms. I have tackled projects ranging from custom homes to small renovations. I started out in the mid-1980s, wiring homes in the Palisades Highlands. I transitioned to a construction company in Santa Monica in the early 1990s, where I worked on condo conversions and small remodels in Beverly Hills. I spent some years working independently in Palos Verdes before joining Santa Monica Electric Co as a serviceman.

I handled troubleshooting and repairs for nearly five years, serving homeowners, property management companies, and restaurant clients. Whatever the size of the job, I have tackled it before.

I have lived in the West L.A., Santa Monica, and Venice area since 1965. I entered the electrical field in the late 1980s, working for local contractors until I secured my C10 electrical contracting license in 2004. I moved to the South Bay in the early 1990s to raise my sons. I have six sons, aged 6 to 34, and three of them are excellent electricians working alongside me. I eagerly anticipate them taking this business forward in the future.

Great company. Found a time that was convenient for me. Derek was there on time, did what he promised, knew a ton about what we needed and was very helpful with some thoughts on how we could fix some other ailing stuff. Thorough, professional, great value. We're already planning some other things for him.

IAN at South Bay Electric was awesome! I contacted him about fixing a doorbell for an apartment. He showed up promptly, quickly returned my text messages, was very professional and courteous. In the end IAN suggested a quick DIY fix and didn't even charge me for the service call! Thank you Ian. I definitely recommend Ian at South Bay Electric Company!!

Oh my I deeply thankful for this company. My garbage disposal caught on fire and kept smoking at 2am in the morning. The smoke was coming up through the sink so I thought maybe a fire was starting in my wall. I called and the owner sent his son in the am. They checked my wiring and it was good. They are soo honest and reasonably priced. I highly recommend them. It's very hard to find trustworthy people these days but this father and son are just that. Thank you both for getting me thru this situation.

Sincerely,
Michele Rehers

Seriously best company and service ever! We needed work done on a rental property and we couldn't have asked for better service. Would definitely recommend this company for any electrical work. They won't nickel and dime you. They do what's needed and do amazing work!

I contacted South Bay Electric Company to install an Electric Vehicle charger. I received a quick response from Ian who tried to give me an approximate quote via photo and video (which I appreciated). My job was a bit more complex, so Ian came out and gave me a reasonable quote and suggested an installation option that was $2000 less than an other quote I got. Two days later, my charger was installed.

What more can you ask for? Reasonable prices, good service, and people who show up on time.

South Bay Electric came back yesterday to do more work, finalizing the repairs to our kitchen wiring issue. They installed a circuit to address overload, cleaned up sloppy wiring, installed garage lighting, and wired and installed another fan/light. Work areas were cleaner when they left than when they started!

The owner even helped me pick out garage lighting to meet my needs, which I was really grateful for. It ended up costing more, but the garage looks amazing now.

Gotta love professionals who do professional jobs right! I gave their info to both my neighbors who had similar circuit board issues.

Ok, so don't usually have this experience but I called Ian at 9 pm on weekday night to try and coordinate changing an outlet I have to a safer GFCI (yeah I know some lingo). He said he wouldn't be available until Thursday but did offer to give me tips on how to hook up the new outlet myself, fancy that.

I texted him a picture and he called me back with detailed instructions on what wire goes where. My plug was a little funky so I went to work and sadly, couldn't get the new plug working. I texted Ian back (at 7 AM the next morning) and he called me right away explaining the simple fix (GFCI's need a super hard hit on the reset button to trip the device which I did not know). I did what Ian suggested and it worked!

While I didn't get to hire these guys directly, they were super responsive and kind and helped me get my issue fixed. Will keep them in mind for future electrical work unless they want to keep training me :)

They came early to my house for electrical service. They were quick and professional. They installed the new lights and fixed some wiring that was damaged. Their prices are good compared to others. Their service is even better.
