West LA Electric

West LA Electric came to my house today to fix a light - found out it had been improperly installed, not to code. Did a great job cleaning things up and doing it right. Explained everything to me. Standards are very high and prices reasonable and fair. Before arrival I got several text messages informing me of exactly when they would get there. Highly recommend.

These guys are true professionals from start to finish.
I needed a new outlet to charge my Tesla Model S and called three different electricians for bids. West LA Electric by far the most responsive, helpful and competitive. no surprises, they did everything they said they would do and on time!
If you need electrical work done, look no further!

I highly recommend Scott at W. LA Electric, and would absolutely use him again. If you're like me, and don't have patience for long reviews, here's the bottom line...

Scott is an honest, experienced and talented electrician. Very efficient and up front; no surprises.

My front yard outdoor lights stopped working during the heavy rain last week. A good friend, who used to be a general contractor, said there is a short somewhere, but I'd need a qualified electrician to find it. The nightmare scenario for me was that 2 of the 8 lights are on posts about 20 feet from the house, and digging underground to find the short would cost me a fortune.

Based on Yelp reviews, I called Scott. He offered to come out and explained how his company charges for diagnostic work and repairs. Wasn't cheap... but sounded reasonable. Upon arrival, Scott was courteous, professional, and apparently very experienced. The short was in the line to the 2 post lights, but he was able to find it without digging! After testing a couple of possible entry points to the house from the underground conduit, he found the shorted wire within about 30 minutes! Scott completed the repairs, installed a new digital timer, and was done in just over an hour.

Had an issue with ceiling lights in my kitchen. Called West LA Electric after reading reviews here. Was looking to make an appointment within the next couple of days, and Scott was able to come in 20 minutes. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and took care of the problem in 10 minutes. He only charged $75, compared to other businesses which had quoted $200+.

Highly recommended, look no further for all your electrician needs. Dependable and trustworthy.

Oh boy, they did it again!

Did what you ask? They did it freakin' right! Eric is hard-working, considerate, friendly but most importantly, he does NOT take short cuts.

If you are anal about how work gets done, these guys are your guys. Rarely do tradesmen take the time to make sure the job is done as perfect as it can be, and usually you have to bug them to do it. Not with West LA electric, these guys work on your stuff like they were working on their own house. That is the best you can ask for in a trade and for that, they get my business every time.

It's been said, but these guys are the real-deal and very honest, which for me is key.

Eric R came to fix the ancient panel we have in the condo. He was on-time (huge deal for me!) and even took his shoes off because I'm picky like that (but I didn't even have to ask).

We even geeked out about circuits and audio stuff while he was working which I appreciated. He also showed me what was wrong and why it was acting up, and gave me some tips to save some cash in the future.

Very very much appreciated.

My recommendation is to hire these guys instead of worrying about whether you're getting ripped off or overcharged.

I emailed around 5pm on a Wednesday night regarding a problem with our bathroom light. Scott set up the call with one of his guys for 9am Thursday. By 10am Thursday, everything was fixed (plus an additional problem that I'd been putting off). Great service, quick response, and fair pricing. Great job!

I called Scott to come and check out problem left by another ""electrician"" who was working in one of my units I rent in West Los Angeles. Previous electrician didn't do good planning and messed up the entire job to tell me at the end that it was not possible to split the lights the way I wanted them.

Scott arrived on time with helper and started doing assessment. It was not an easy job because not only Scott had to figure out how it worked before, but what the other ""electrician"" did to mess it up. These are not good situations to be in, but Scott said he often gets calls to fix mess done by others who mess with electricity without knowing what they are doing, so this created more comfort for me.

Assessment he was about to do required advanced knowledge and understanding of the trade and Scott was re-assuring throughout the process that he will be able to find the problem and fix it.

In just 2 hours of intense analysis, Scott was able to reverse engineer the problem, suggest better solution and provide me very reasonable fixed quote to fix it.

He said he will come next day at 9:00 am and his crew was on time. He came to check on them and worked with them in spite of the the fact he didn't feel good that day. He stayed on the job until Eric came, who then took over. Eric is Scott's skilled team leader and very knowledgeable in this trade with strong customer service skills. He does incredible nice job patching up and doing just about anything in your walls in addition to electrical work. Eric also mentors junior people very well.

Scott's crew is like special forces of electrical world - they are IN and OUT, quick, on time and budget, with mission accomplished even when it looks like the mission is too huge to be accomplished that day.

Scott does charge fee to come out and see you but that is normal and fair - as he simply doesn't know what he will find and as he is assessing your situation, he is also consulting you. In fact, I would say is worth paying him his fee just to come out and double check work of other electricians as well.

I took a gamble 1st time I called electrician and made a mistake. I took a gamble 2nd time and I found Scott - the master of his trade, with great team and customer service skills who I will always use on all my projects from now on.

West LA Electric is great! They worked with my schedule, came right on time, fixed the problem quickly, and were reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend them!

Eric came to my house pretty much on time, even though the work order had the wrong address number, wrong name and zip code. Good thing the phone # was right! Anyway, Eric was very professional and courteous. He located the problems right away and fixed an outside outlet (to code) and an outdoor fixture (I had him swap a little used fixture from the inside of the house). Will definitely use his services in the future!
