    EV Charger install with a dedicated 60amp breaker. Works flawlessly, looks great.
    Jeremy W.

    Edwin and his team have done a lot of work at our house. Wired EV charger install, malfunctioning plugs, trenching, you name it. He's knowledgeable and honest, and does nice clean work. Highly recommended.

    ABSOLUTE LIFESAVERS. A million stars from me - quick responses, great pricing, and really thoughtful staff. (My apartment looked like a wreck and my electricians still took the time to lay down drop cloths to keep things tidy, which is very sweet!!!) I had planned to swap my light fixtures myself, but noped out VERY quickly after about 10 seconds of looking more closely at my apartment's ancient wiring. Edwin was able to fit me in SUPER last minute and his team handled the two pendants in my hallway and my bathroom sconce in under an hour. I can't imagine opting for a different electrician - they're just THE BEST. :)

    I've been using Edwin Merino's little company for several years now. Edwin is hands on and meticulous. He lays down plastic and/or drop cloths so the area/carpet/bedding stay clean. He places ceiling lights, pendants right where I want them. He also disposes of all trash when he departs. These are the 2 key features I look for when hiring an electrician. That and a current license :) On those rare occasions when he sends his guys, I have NOT been disappointed. On the rare occasion when something didn't turn out as I had hoped, Edwin has been great at resolving issues.

    First and foremost, Edwin was professional and luckily, was available to stop by and give me a quote.

After today's service, I had some technical questions for future reference and he thoroughly talked me through everything.

He seemed to be very knowledgeable and know what he was doing. During the project, I showed it to a couple of contractors I know and they said it looked like he was doing a very professional job. The only reason I gave four stars instead of five is because the project dragged on for 10 months. One of the issues was that each time there was an inspection, a different inspector showed up and wanted changes from what the previous inspector had okayed. That seems to be part of doing business in Los Angeles and I don't hold Alex responsible because he was quick to make each change an inspector wanted. But there were also long periods of time when nothing was being done, perhaps because they were working on a different project. Would I use the company again? If it were a smaller project that didn't take as long, absolutely! Without a doubt! The work quality was excellent, communication on issues was excellent and Alex was easy to work with. While I hope not to have electrical issues in the future, Alex and Alex Electrical Services is who I would call first.

The technician who came by was pleasant, but when he heard we wanted a complete rewire, he did not even inspect the property or the amp panel. He just ballparked us a random number that made absolutely no sense. It was when I asked him to do an inspection to review the scope of work that he half heartedly opened a few outlets and said "ok, we're just going to replace them." In the end he gave me a quote verbally and never even sent me an actual quote that was promised. I would be extremely careful working with this company or choosing them for any high level electric work. If you review them on BBB or the California licensing board, you'll see that the owner is C-10 licensed but his workers are contractors who are working under his license. In comparing them to other electric companies in SGV in which the workers are licensed, this company uses just random contractors so the quality of your work varies.

David, Jesse, and the entire crew did an outstanding job from start to finish. Their work was clean, efficient, and highly professional. It's clear they take a lot of pride in what they do, and it really shows in the quality of the finished result. What stood out just as much as their craftsmanship was how kind, respectful, and courteous they were throughout the entire process. They made everything feel smooth and stress-free, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend them to anyone needing electrical work and have already referred them to others. I wouldn't hesitate to call them back for any future work.

    This review is long overdue…read more My husband and I bought our house in 2022 and the first things we wanted to do was install our car charger and have someone look at our old electric to figure out if we needed to prioritize upgrades. Primo was the third company we reached out to for estimates and we chose them off of good vibes and competitive prices. I'm grateful for it. These guys are solid, honest people and won't recommend things you don't need. In fact, if you have a wild idea for something that is unnecessary or costly, they'll tell you up front so you know in advance. In addition to doing things the right way, they're respectful. I've chatted with a few companies about various house projects and David and Jesse treated me (a woman) like my input matters just as much as my husband's. It signals competence, excellence, and professionalism when, even though I say "my husband is the boss," a contractor checks with me just in case. And, it prevents arguments down the road. We've rehired Primo for light fixture swaps, outlet adds, new switch fixtures, and we plan to hire them for our upcoming upgrades because they're all around good people who do good work. Primo is a business that you root for, and are proud to support as a customer. We'll continue to work with Primo on our electric needs for all of these reasons and more. Thanks, guys!
