West LA Electric
Company Overview
The premier choice in Mar Vista. It's time to invite a professional into your home. We are part of the Mar Vista community! If budget is your main priority, we may not be ideal for you. We are not like the others.
Customer care is our focus! Emergency calls are covered for our clients, with a fast response time. Most of the time, we can be there the same day. For warranty issues, we typically respond the same or next day. Send a text for a fast quote, often at no charge. You can schedule a virtual consultation for an hourly charge. Text images so I can assess your job more accurately. Communicate directly with the Licensed Electrical Contractor, texting is the most efficient method. My name is Scott, and I’m a Master Electrician.
I oversee all my projects. I focus on completing the task correctly the first time. We plan your job in advance, which means fewer trips to the truck. Proper job management is essential; doing it wrong from the start wastes both time and money. Cheap services often lead to poor quality, and quality comes at a price. Our work comes with a lifetime warranty. We focus on getting it right the first time. Poor electrical work by others is widespread in our area. We secure city permits for our work if required. I’m a home inspector and ensure I’m informed about all electrical codes. We adhere to all codes without shortcuts.
“Only the finest should receive the finest”. Thank you for your time, and we look forward to connecting soon. Our customer satisfaction has been strong for 21 years. I am passionate about my work! My main goal is to ensure fairness for all. I call Mar Vista home. I support local businesses and law enforcement. I am fully vaccinated against Covid. I have a cat.
Thank you very much!
Best regards, Scott

Recommended Customer Reviews

Outstanding company and stellar service!!
I sent photos via text to Scott regarding a fuse that would randomly blow and he recommended an inspection which was spot on.
Jose arrived on time, spent almost 2 hours thoroughly examining the fuse panel, looking for burnt or loose wires, checked neighboring outlets, even those in the ceiling.
Throughout his review of the wiring and panel, Jose clearly communicated what he was doing and why. I knew very little about the panel until Jose who took the time to explain it in detail. I am most grateful for Scott and Jose! The company is a rare find and will be my go to in the future for all electrical issues. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

We needed to swap our three GFI outlets on the exterior of our house. We were not in a rush.
I called West LA Electric, and they sent Jose out within 90 minutes. I was told that they would charge by the hour, and then there would be the costs of parts, etc. I was expecting a 2 hour job or so, but Jose took care of all three outlets in less than 1! He was also super nice and explained what he was doing to be very clearly.
Great work, reasonably priced, and everyone I interacted with at this company was awesome. I would totally use them again on future projects.

Didn't use them, but Scott was extremely responsive and made suggestions over text. Based on how hard getting an immediate response is, they would be my first choice next time I have an issue

West LA Electric is a fantastic outfit and Scott is super duper efficient and honest. Today I thought I needed to update my outlets with a reset button as they were dead and no amount of fiddling with the fuse fixed it. Turns out there is one plug with a reset button and it controls all of them on the wall. Did I know that? Clearly not. But WLE did and instead of charging me $185 to add reset buttons, this free advice was all I needed. West LA Electric has done all our lights and they've been awesome.

I cannot say enough good things about Scott H. the owner of West LA Electric. We arrived home today, Sunday, to find that half of the electricity in our house was off, then on, then off again. I texted Scott who immediately diagnosed it as being a problem with one of our ""legs"", the connections between the power pole and our home. He recommended calling DWP. I did so and they came out in less than an hour, and fixed the problem, which was corrosion at the power pole. Remember that this Sunday, and Scott replied in under a minute with the exact right advice. If you ever need an electrician, call Scott at West LA Electric. He also put in my car charging port about six years ago, and that's worked like a charm ever since. No issues whatsoever. Thank you, Scott!

These guys are the best.
Good troubleshooting, very efficient and friendly. No bogus, or hidden prices / quotes.
Can highly recommend.

Scott & Jose are very knowledgeable and patient.
Scott has been servicing my managed buildings for over 20 years. He's always reliable, well priced and ready to explain thing as well as make suggestions.

Called them again, this time to upgrade an electrical socket with a proper ground. Can't say enough good things about both Scott and Jose; Scott is so patient listening to the issue and suggesting solutions that don't necessarily make him a profit; which seems so unusual. I trust his guidance, and Jose's work was fast and efficient. They're my go-to electricians from now on; happy to have them as a resource!

Came the same day I called for smoke alarm malfunction. Replaced alarm and checked wiring. Worked out great and no more beeping! Masked and foot coverings too.

I don't usually write reviews, but found West LA Electric through a Yelp search. I was so pleased with them that I'm writing one :) From the moment I called for an estimate, Scott was super friendly, explained how the process and price estimate works (we were looking to have 2 ceiling fans installed), and wasn't pushy at all about committing to the service then -- as I wanted some time to make the decision. We ended up hiring them, and they were so great. They texted that morning to confirm the time and appointment, and as promised, Jose, the electrician, called when he arrived. Jose completed the work very efficiently and neatly, and was super friendly (answering all of my boyfriend's questions about how the electrical worked!). I would definitely hire them again -- thank you!
