Company Overview

I have been in the electrical trade for nearly 40 years. I obtained my contractor's license in January 2004 and currently work alongside 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 take great pride in the quality of our work. All our work meets code requirements and comes with a guarantee.

We offer a 10% discount to all Yelp customers. I am available for emergency calls around the clock and can usually respond the same day. All my work is covered by a $1,000,000 liability insurance policy.

I have been employed by various electrical and construction companies since 1985. I have tackled projects ranging from custom homes to small renovations. My career started in the mid-1980s wiring homes in the Palisades Highlands. In the early 1990s, I worked for a construction firm in Santa Monica, specializing in condo conversions and small renovations 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. Regardless of the project size, I have encountered it all.

Having grown up in West L.A., Santa Monica, and Venice since 1965. I began my electrical career in the late 1980s and worked for several local contractors throughout the 1990s until I obtained my C10 electrical contracting license in 2004. In the early 1990s, I relocated to the South Bay to raise my boys. I am the proud father of six sons, aged 6 to 34, and three of them are currently outstanding electricians on my team. I look forward to seeing them carry on this business into the future.

Ian and his team were super responsive in taking care of the electrical problems after an SCE transformer issue took out several pieces of equipment and rendered some circuits inoperable. They showed up promptly at the time window promised, diagnosed the issue and made the repairs needed safely and professionally.

Our electricity went out. South Bay sent out a technician the day we called which was a holiday - Presidents Day. The technician investigated, found a panel I was unaware of and fixed the problem. He was there for well over an hour testing outlets and ensuring a fully operating system. I was expecting a multi-hour charge for the time he was there. Yet he only charged me the minimum 1 hour charge, which is quite reasonable. I will use South Bay for any future electrical issues or projects.

it was awesome to work with Ian and Derek. Ian coached me through the whole process and said what we needed/didn't need. He was great at communicating and Derek arrived promptly. the work was done as expected and Derek left the work area spotless! For all future electrical needs we'll definitely be going back to them.

Daryck and Dru came out today and replaced two bathroom fans, 2 bathroom light fixtures, installed a dimmer switch and Ring Floodlight Camera. They were very knowledgeable and professional and did a beautiful job. We appreciate the time they took to explain how things worked and made sure the job was done to our satisfaction. The price was reasonable just as Ian quoted previously. We will definitely be using their services again in the future and recommending them to anyone in need of an electrician. Thank you Ian, Daryck and Dru!

Was able to call Ian at 7am and he scheduled me the same day because my fridge and other kitchen appliances had no power. His son Derek arrived and immediately knew it was one of the outlets that caused them all to short out. He rewired the faulty outlet and replaced a bad dimmer switch within less than an hour, and that included a trip to home depot. Will definetely use this company again. A++.

I was having issues with the power in my living room while the rest of the house had no power problems. I reset the breaker multiple times to no avail. I contacted the business and was called back by Ian shortly. Right away, he advised me over the phone on how to potentially locate the issue, how to resolve it safely and offered to continue assisting by texting or calling him for questions. He did say if all else failed, he can send someone out to resolve it. I was able to solve the problem by following his advice without having to use any tools.

We had a really loud surge of electricity, followed by a complete blackout in our apartment which is a part of a triplex. South Bay Electric came highly recommended by one of the other tenants and I'm so glad that Ian and his sons showed up. Turns out the wiring was so old it was from when the house was built in the 1930's and was completely not wired to code. Anyone of us could have been electrocuted!

Thankfully, SBEC was there to save the day and all 3 units were completely rewired. They even installed my wired ring cameras for next to nothing because the job was so big! Ian and his sons were very professional, all the breakers were labeled for each circuit which I was happy about and I would not hesitate to recommend them for any of your electrical needs.

Excellent service, got everything done, with professional attitude. Wish they had come sooner but can't complain because I can see why they were busy. Will definitely call for service again if needed. Will recommend them to my friends and family.

I was referred to Ian by a friend for my EV wall charger installation. A great experience all around that started with quick responsiveness for a quote and easy scheduling for an appointment on a day that I could work from home. The crew was punctual and arrived on the earlier side of the time window. They were knowledgeable and walked me through the options for locating the EV wall charger. Once we agreed on the location, they were very efficient and cleaned up after themselves. I would not hesitate to recommend South Bay Electric.
