Company Overview

My journey as an electrician spans close to 40 years. In January 2004, I earned my contractor's license 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 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. Our emergency service is available 24/7, and we frequently provide same-day assistance. Additionally, I carry $1,000,000 in liability insurance for all my work.

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.

For over five years, I managed troubleshooting and repairs for a wide range of clients, including homeowners, property management firms, and restaurant owners. No matter the project scope, I have experience with it.

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. I moved to the South Bay in the early 1990s to raise my sons. I am the proud father of six sons, aged 6 to 34, and three of them are currently outstanding electricians on my team. I am excited to see them continue this business for years to come.

They responded quickly and did a great job. We spoke by phone and texted pictures for my EV Tesla charger. They were in within a week and done within hours. He set everything up on Wifi and had clearly done this before. He had to change some breakers but didn't try to upsell me on a bigger project. Highly recommend them!!

I contacted South Bay Electric to report electrical issues, and Ian generously provided guidance pro bono. He patiently explained the troubleshooting steps, allowing me to identify the problem. It was a problem I couldn't fix. Ian's son, who was kind and friendly, came the following day and promptly replaced the faulty receptacle, reset the breaker, reset the GFCI's and restored functionality. Excellent service!

Responded quickly, was available, good work, and courteous. Second time I've used them for small jobs but definitely keeping their card for any future electrical work.

They are great! Responsive, professional, and super helpful. They came to help me set up my hot tub the day it was being delivered. They did a great job and I will be using them again and referring others. Thank you!

I called for an issue with my outlet, Ian called back right away. Tyler came a few hours later and replaced my outlet and answered all of my questions. Fast service & I thought the price was great too! Will be using them again!

Tyler is the most professional, efficient knowledgeable electrician I have ever dealt with! The service was amazing. His personality was amazing. He answered questions, went above and beyond to give us exactly what we needed and this was for a small problem. He will definitely be back when we start our adu and any other electrical needs that come along. If you don't use these guys, you're getting ripped off. Not only is it a family-owned business they treat you like family and not the family they don't like. It was a pleasure.

I hired South Bay Electric to repair a corroded electrical conduit and install a new GFCI outlet. Within about a day, Ian called me to step up a time for him to take a look and provide a quote. Although it wasn't a rush, I wanted to get all the work wrapped up before a trip and Ian was able to get his team out to my house within a few days. They provided great suggestions and completed the work on time and on budget. I'd definitely to go them again for electrical work!

I had a few different things I wanted to take care of, and they were very quick to respond and come out for an estimate. Everything was handled quickly, and rates were reasonable. Will use again.

Wow! South Bay Electric Company is a lifesaver, specifically Ian Marsh! My wife reached out through Yelp this morning due to our electricity suddenly cutting out when I hit the light switch in the bathroom as I was about to hop in the shower. Ian got back to her within minutes of reaching out.

We live in a single-wide trailer and are planning to move soon. We're on a very tight income, hence the reason we're selling our place. We wanted to restore power as soon as possible due to Xander's liquid gold (insulin) sitting in our fridge.

The first thing Ian wanted was some pictures of our electric box and then some pics of the outside of the trailer where the electrical line connects. Instead of telling us he'd come out or send someone, he literally explained to my wife the process to fix it for now. He also sent a link to the part we needed from Amazon. He explained that to properly fix it would be somewhere in the $400 - $500 range, which is an expense we truly can't afford right now.

After they got off the phone, my wife relayed the instructions Ian had given her. I headed out with my sandpaper and taped it up real good with electrical tape. I went to flip the power back on and it worked!!

Thank you so much, Ian! I explained to my son while Mommy was on the phone how unusual this kind of customer service is nowadays. I said, ""This guy just helped us fix our place for free and took time out of his day on Sunday morning to do so.""

Ian responded quickly, was very honest with his assessment and pricing, and did a great job on site. Would highly recommend and he will be my go to if I need electric work done at my home. He will also be the first person I recommend in the South Bay Area.
