West LA Electric

I have been eagerly looking forward to getting a bunch of electrical projects done at my house and Scott made them all happen. He installed three pendant lights in my dining room and patched up the drywall after relocating the original wiring. Scott then installed a fantastic ceiling fan in a spot that had no existing wiring. He then swapped out an old piece of junk bathroom fan with a much better unit and also installed a completely new exhaust fan to better vent shower vapor. This last fan required cutting a hole in my roof, and arranging the services of a roofer to properly seal everything up. Additionally, Scott fixed my doorbell, did some work on Cat-5 / phone lines and replaced six smoke alarms.

Scott is a great guy and a pleasure to work with. He is punctual, very neat and tidy and seems to genuinely like what he does. I am really happy with the work that he and his crew did and would recommend him strongly.

I recently had to find an electrician to repair some backyard landscape lights. I started by searching yelp for an electrician in West Los Angeles. West LA Electric popped-up in the search results and had good ratings so I called them . . . the whole process was quite simple, efficient, and fairly priced. Eric Rubottom was the technician that the scheduler/office person sent to meet with me. He was very patient and explained the repair in very simple, non-technical terms that made it helpful to understand. Thanks West LA Electric and Eric . . . I will definitely be calling you for future repairs.

Scott recently installed a sub-panel and a new 240 volt, 40 amp outlet for my Tesla Model S charging needs. My home power setup was bit of a mess but he figured out a neat solution right away.

Scott and his West LA Electric crew are easy going, prompt, neat, professional. Highly recommended. He's now done a few Tesla charging setup in several homes, so he is very knowledgeable about what's needed.

West LA Electric are the guys to call! I've had the pleasure of working with both Scott and Eric. Scott came over the first time a few years ago to install an outlet in my garage. He was professional and very pleasant to deal with and he did an excellent job.

I called up West LA Electric again recently when a circuit went out. This time, Eric came and diagnosed the problem quickly and had the replacement part in the truck ready to go. He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and he was able to solve the issue in under 30 minutes of his arrival. He was exactly on time with the stated appointment which I really appreciated.

I called another electrician before hiring West LA Electric but they were not able to guarantee me an appointment time and said they could be here around 8am or 9am. I needed someone to be here ASAP so I'm glad I went with West LA Electric instead of the other company even though the other company did give me a lower initial quote over the phone. West LA electric's phone quote was accurate and I appreciated that there were no surprises.

Scott is a licensed electrical contractor and definitely knows what he's doing when it comes to all things electricity. He is also very professional and seems very genuine.

He does charge a minimum / service call fee, so there wasn't really a ""free estimate,"" but sometimes that's the way it is I think when you don't know exactly what's wrong -- he has to start working to figure out what's going on. It does include the first hour, though, and it could be that's all he needs. After that it's an hourly rate.

So, if you definitely know what needs to be done and it's very minor, you might be able to manage yourself or use a handyman. But if you have a more complicated issue, or don't know exactly what's wrong, or just want to make sure everything will be done properly and to code -- and who doesn't when it comes to electricity? -- call Scott first.

I had a couple of things that weren't working and we didn't know the cause, whether it was the sockets, switches, wiring, etc.). I was also considering installing a new CO/smoke alarm myself, but then figured it was worth it to just have a professional do everything at once. Scott worked with me by showing up bright and early in the morning and managed to get everything done in 1.5 hrs so I still made it to work only a little later than usual. My bathroom fan/heater turned out to be broken, but Scott check to make sure the power going to the unit was working and then even showed me how I could order a replacement part and install it myself. So I saved a little money AND got to feel all handy! Great guy!!

Called Scott on Friday with a bad circuit issue and later the same day Eric came out to repair it. Also, a light fixture was repaired with new ballasts. The work was done timely, professionally, and at the price that was discussed. I'm very impressed! Kudos!

My wife and I really want to give West LA Electric 10 stars, however, 5 stars is the limit. Simply put, Scott at West LA Electric exceeded all of our expectations and we are grateful for having found him and his company. There is no doubt that his work has improved our home from a safety and practical standpoint. One of the primary differentiators we found with Scott was his patch work, it was seamless. Obviously, electric work can often require making holes in your walls/ceilings, Scott and his professional crew did an amazing job with plastering and patching which saved us lots of money and time. Just two weeks before we hired Scott, our neighbor hired an electrician that did not plaster and left her with unsightly holes all over her condo, she was frustrated and had to find someone to patch and plaster which added costs and drained her time/energy. We did not make the same mistake.

But with Scott, plastering and patch work was just the ""cherry on top"". To sum him up in a few words, he is honest, professional, timely, competitively priced, clean, very hardworking, flexible, and reliable.

Our Story:
We just purchased our first home, a condo which had numerous electrical issues. We knew that one of the most important investments we wanted to make from a safety standpoint was fixing various electrical faults. We researched and received several quotes. Not only was West LA Electric competitively priced, but Scott and his work crew blew us away with their professionalism, knowledge, and quality of work.

The Facts:
He was on time, every time. He came for a free in home estimate, was personable and accommodating to our needs. He was patient and answered all of our questions - and I ask a lot of questions. He delivered on all of his promises. He was flexible and worked around our schedule, was diligent, highly skilled, and made sure our place was clean during and after his work. Scott is someone you can trust to do the job right in your home.

Some of the items we hired West LA Electric included:
1. Ceiling fan installation and new switch with light and fan speed dimmer.
2. Bathroom exhaust fan installation, included demo and removal of old fan.
3. New bathroom light fixture.
4. New GFCI outlet installation in bathroom and moving of an existing outlet which had safety issues.
5. Rewiring and a new circuit for bathroom electric.
6. Installation of new chandelier and removal of old fixture.
7. Installation of new outdoor outlet.
8. Upgrading of unsafe outlets.

Again, we recommend Scott and West LA Electric without reservation, for any job, big or small, thanks again for a fantastic job.

Scott and his team did a great job. They showed up on time, did the job as promised, and charged a reasonable price. I highly recommend West LA Electric.

I'm so glad that I found Scott because he is fantastic! He knows his stuff and is very reasonably priced. I hired Scott to replace my bathroom fan, add an outdoor outlet, switched out a security light and a few other items. Not only did he fix or add what I hired him for, but he also fixed some other problems that he discovered along the way. He is very easy to talk to and will answer any question you have. He more than lived up to those reviews and I would definitely recommend him for any of your electrical needs.
