Twice now, (I will call him "Mr. Able" since I didn't get his name), he has helped me over the phone. The first time was a several years ago when I called to ask if he could replace a wired smoke detector in my hallway. He convinced that it was easy to do and that I could do it myself, and sure enough, it was easy to do and I did it myself, and I was amazed at how it worked out. Today, I called because I have some outlets in my house that were not working. He immediately diagnosed the issue over the phone, and he directed me out to the garage to find an outlet with two buttons, and asked me to FaceTime and reverse the camera and show him the outlet, and then he asked me to press the top button and listen for a click. So I pressed the top button and heard the click and he told me the problem was solved. I go check the outlets in the house and guess what? They are all working again!!!! Absolutely incredible. Thank you, Mr. Able, for the great help, and for your willingness to save your customers time and money by helping them out with simple issues like this over the phone. You are one in a million. Thank you!!! read more

Did a bad job of installing under cabinet lighting that isn't to code. When I contacted him after an inspector said it wasn't to code, he didn't respond read more

We had a short in our home that knocked out 90% of the power. I called Able Electric on Monday morning, and they said they could someone out on Tuesday morning at 8am. Daniel arrived at 8am and went right to work locating the problem in the main panel. PG&E was contacted and arrived within 20 minutes. They found the water had gotten into the meter, which shorted out the main post. PG&E cut the power. Daniel ordered the parts that were needed. He had to go to a small job in Camino, but stated he would return in a few hours. Within an hour the parts were delivered. At 12:30 Daniel and Greg arrived and got to work. At 3:30 PG&E was called. At 4:00 PG&E arrived and at 4:10 the power was back on! A big shout out to Able Electric, Daniel, Greg and PG&E for great customer service! The price was very fair! Thank You! read more

We had Eric install 6 lights in our living room area more than a year ago. Before installation, I told him I prefer warmer, yellower lighting. He insisted he knew better and that I would enjoy the brighter whiter lights. I asked for a dimmer, thinking that even if the lights were bright, I would be able to dim the whiteness considerably. Well, come night time, I turned on the lights and they were very bright and white even at the dimmest setting. I called and texted Eric to let him know of my dissatisfaction. He never responded to my calls or texts. Fast forward a year later, the dimmer that he installed gave out and the lights stopped turning on. We finally got the bulbs and the dimmer changed out today by a handyman. I am so happy with my new lights, I was inspired to write this review on the work of Able Electric. I will never use him again, and would not recommend him. read more

Quit scrolling. Quit searching. Just call Eric at Able Electric. Without a doubt one of the best tradesman I have ever dealt with and definitely my new go to guy for all my electrical needs. I had a broken outlet behind my dishwasher which was causing intermittent power failures to the unit. The dishwasher had to be removed to access the outlet. I called Able Electric based on their Yelp reviews. Eric came out the next day. He was extremely professional and very respectful of my home. Eric quickly and accurately diagnosed the problem. He removed the broken outlet and installed a new one under the sink that is far more accessible. To do this, he had to cut drywall and fish wires. One of the things I really liked about him was he explained everything he was doing and showed me the damaged parts. When he was done, he patched the drywall and cleaned everything up. During his inspection, Eric also found a breaker that was about to fail. He replaced that as well. His rate was very reasonable and I felt I got a lot for my money. To top it off, Eric is also a professional magician. After finishing the job he did about 15 minutes of close-up magic for my five year old grandson and family. I'm a pretty good judge of character and I found Eric, not only very good at his job, but a very honorable and nice man. read more

Five stars for Able Electric . I've been using Able Electric for many years. Fast service at a reasonable price.

All I can say is wow!!! I hate calling for outside services -plumbers, electricians....never know what you will get. I first worked with Able Electric with a couple outlets at a new office. Fair price, in and out. Great service. Never left a review. It was in and out. I had crown molding installed at my home and it was designed for lighting above. The crown installer insisted the electric be done first. But after speaking with these guys, they told me to have the crown installed and they will do their work after - it will save a trip and lower the cost. I did as he suggested, and it turned out absolutely phenomenal!!!! I will always use these guys. Honest. Priced fair (better than fair - other quotes were crazy). And the work was clean. Thank you Able!!! And btw, lighting above crown molding is pretty cool!!! Well worth a few extra bucks!!! Crown molding designs in Temecula and Able electric took my room to another level. My one disappointment- I did crown downstairs and did not think of the lighting. Wish I had. But upstairs looks GREAT!! read more

Eric was knowledgeable, efficient, and courteous. He wore a mask which we appreciated! Friendly and funny guy. He was quite good at troubleshooting and was logical. He fixed a ceiling fan and did some bathroom lights and switches. He had some nice switches (from his truck) that were big improvements, and he taught us how to use one of them (a programmable dimmer switch). He even worked some magic with fixing a kitchen switch cover that wasn't even with the drywall. Price was fair. We plan to request his services again. Thanks, Eric! NOTE: This is my own opinion only -- no one asked me to write this review and I had never dealt with this company before. (I don't trust some Yelp reviews so I usually include this statement!) read more

Able Electric - The best in Electrical Service! Had a couple of electrical projects that needed to be done and contacted Able Electric who responded through email then later through phone call. They were very friendly, prompt and gave the best price around! Having 120+ 5 star review did not hurt as well. Iraj's team of electricians are truly amazing! They did an amazing job! Max and Barzo did a phenomenal job in installing our pendant lights in our kitchen and recessed lighting in our master bedroom. They were very friendly and professional and made for a very clean installation. They wore booties while working in the house. Max was very precise in his measurements which made for accurate installation of the product. Portable remote dimmers were installed in both locations which made it easy not having to walk to the wall. Everything performed wonderfully! Thank you Iraj, Max, Barzo! Able Electric comes highly recommended, and will recommend to all my family and friends. The are truly the best value for all your Electrical needs! Eddie G read more

Thank You Eric Update : For over 35 years I worked as a carpenter and knew several electricians who worked soley for our crew and at times helped them to pull and run wire etc. Guess what I am trying to get at is I learned over the years to read people -and later in life miss the good solid people who I call Beautiful People who make the world better !

We have used Able Electric multiple times and they always do an amazing job. They are efficient and creative in order to make sure the project is completed properly. Very clean and reliable work. We have worked with Eric, Bruce, and Max and they are all great. Highly recommended! read more

Quick response, accurate and quick fix to our electrical issue and fair pricing! Plus some magic for our 4 year old! Would definitely recommend and use him again! read more

Eric and his team at Able are hands down the best, most knowledgable, thorough, and friendliest electricians around. Eric can quickly diagnose an issue and not just fix it, but often provides upgrades or better solutions (without upcharging). I've been using them for years, they are very professional, and I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

Eric came out the very same day This gentlemen knows his stuff. Sam was also with him today and he also knows what he is doing. He was very professional and reasonably priced. I only wish I could give him 10 stars. He's also an amazing magician Ask him for a few tricks before he leaves read more

Not dependable. Can not leave a message because mailbox is always full. Never returns messages or texts. Totally unresponsive. Made promise to do a job, but never followed through. If I could have left Zero stars i would have. read more

1st class Knows his stuff fixed problem in 10 minutes that another electrician couldn't figure out read more

We chose Able Electric because of the excellent yelp reviews. Erik was indeed exceptional! We had some issues with the lights at our place and a ceiling fan and Erik fixed everything without trying to sell us expensive options. He tried to solve the issues with the minimum cost and not overcharge us like other professionals. He was very friendly and gave us his honest opinion about what would be the best solution for us. We would highly recommend him! read more

Eric at Able Electric is absolutely fantastic! He put in recessed lighting and kept us informed of all our options along the way. He was professional, on time, and responded quickly to our call. He is also a genuine electrician who does great work for an even better price than other places! He even gave us samples of other lighting and taught me how to change certain cans to make my lights up to date and more efficient. He completed the work in a timely matter and even did magic tricks for me and my kids while we waited for the dry wall/spackle to dry. He made sure everything was perfect before he left. Also, during this COVID craziness, he kept his mask on the entire time. As well as laid out protective covering for our floor before he started to work. I am definitely going to call Eric again for any electrical needs! read more

Eric is a WIZARD. No joke. Read on: With reviews like this, of course he is super busy. And since I didnt have an emergency it took about 2 weeks to get him here, which I was totally ok with, and he double confirmed. And boy did I have a list waiting for him - these lights flashing, those wont work, outside outlet dead, sprinkler timer stopped working, no GFCI over there. He solved some in minutes and completed the other repairs over a few hours, incl running out for some supplies. And all the while, he kept entertaining us with magic tricks. No joke - great magic tricks that delighted my 8 year old and even surprised my teenager. We were all laughing! What a great experience. Oh and his pricing was totally reasonable! How weird is it to say "I can't wait to have him come back and fix more stuff!" Finally, I have an electrician!! read more

So happy to find Able Electric on Yelp! Wish I would have found this company ages ago. Eric and Max installed ceiling fans in difficult places, and replaced all the downstairs light cans without a glitch. I'm very happy with their work! Yes, they wear booties in the house. Very thoughtful! Eric looked at some other long-standing issues while at my home, and quickly knew what the problem was how to repair it. I've had other contractors tell me the problems couldn't be fixed, and tried to sell me entire HVAC systems! These are friendly, professional gentlemen who get the job done. Highly recommended. read more

I've been using them for years and they are very professional. Eric is very responsive and has been saving us money with cost effective solutions. read more

I can't say enough good things about Able Electric.. My power went out in half my house and I had my development's electrician come out and check it. They couldn't find the problem .. After going on yelp, I called 3 other electricians. The only one that answered and said they would be coming out before the end of the day was Able.. Eric and Max were AMAZING! They checked everything. They even crawled under my house to find and fix the problem.. Once they found the problem, it was fixed in less than 30 mins... The price was definitely reasonable and I even gave the guys a little extra for crawling around under my house.. The were so appreciative for the tip that they called me again later to say thank you again.. I will be using them again if needed and would recommend them to anyone looking for good ,honest, hard working people. read more

No nonsense good service. They were efficient, found my wiring problems very quickly and fixed the several problems they found. Very happy to have found this company. read more

Update 4/2: Eric followed through with sending me the refund. I give the quality of work 5 stars, but I am giving an overall 4 star due to the experience highlighted below. Update 3/19: upon writing my initial review, Eric reached out to me on 2/21 and offered me a $100 refund to remove the review. I have yet to receive his refund check. I reminded him of the check three times over text, once per week. Two times he responded asking again for my address which I provided every time, and last time he did not respond. Yet again, a very unprofessional interaction with Eric. Problem summary: I am being charged for the company's commute time without prior agreement because I am "too far". I live in Tierrasanta, San Diego. Eric and his crew know what they are doing, and they do it well. Last year, I found Able Electric on yelp and called them over for a lot of work. Eric mentioned after he arrived and began working how it was odd that we found him in our area on Yelp since his service area is in North County, but he accepted the appointment regardless. Eric and another electrician spent around 6-7 hours to do the required work and charged me around $650. Time was well spent given the amount of work needed and I felt they charged me very fairly at that time. So much so that I called them again last month, to help install a motion sensor light for my garage which does not have drywall (it makes installation much simpler). Although he had explained before I am out of his service area, I figured if I was too far this time he would let me know ahead of time. When I called Eric and booked my new appointment with him, he failed to mention to me that I am too far him and that I will be charged extra for his commute time to come out to Tierrasanta. The job was well done, and it took 74 minutes: from 3:04PM to 4:18PM according to my alarm sensor's log. I was charged $309. It was an easy job, compared to what they had done for me before. I called Eric to inquire about this seemingly high charge, and only then did he tell me that I am too far and that in the future I better call other electricians who are in my area. He said two electricians at $50/hour is very reasonable. I agree that $50/hour is reasonable, I don't agree that I should be charged for 3 hours when the electricians were only here for 74 minutes. Very unprofessional interaction. This should have been mentioned during the first call when I was booking my appointment. I should not be charged for Eric's commute time without an explicit agreement. Beware when dealing with this company. read more

I can't say enough how good this company is. The technician (ERIC) was so kind. He took care of business and made everything look so easy. He is TOP NOTCH Very reasonable prices and very fair. He uses all updated equipment. I WILL ALWAY USE ABLE ELECTRIC FROM NOW ON He is simply the best electrician I have ever worked with. GOOSE 5 STAR FOR SURE read more

Great service! Reasonable cost. Professional. Will certainly call them again. Glad I found them in Yelp. read more

These guys really know what they are doing. Eric has a degree in electrical engineering in addition to being a certified electrician. Eric installed a pendant light for us in a room with no wiring. I was concerned about punching too many holes in the walls. He managed to do it with no holes in the wall. He could do this because they are equipped with all sort of gadgets that let him see what's behind the walls. Price: I shopped around and no one could beat their price. Excellent job overall. Highly recommended. read more

Able Electric - The light looks great! - Electricians Near Me - Carlsbad, California

I would not hesitate recommending these gentlemen. They were on time, polite and professional. Courteous enough to wear the shoe booties without prompt which speaks towards their respect for personal property. Additionally, they were willing to walk me through cause and repair procedure. Very straightforward quality work at a very reasonable price. read more

I highly recommend these guys if you need work done. They came out just a few hours after I called and fixed all of the outlets in my kitchen. It didn't even take them long. They were very nice, professional and affordable! They took the time to explain everything to me so I knew exactly what they were doing and why. This is an honest family run company that does great work! I will definitely be calling Able again the next time we need work done and also when we get solar put in because they do that as well! read more

Able Electric - Electricians Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Eric & Max solved two big problems for us this morning: 1) They tracked down and solved a mysterious problem with flickering lights. 2) They installed a ceiling lights and dimmers in two rooms that badly needed lighting. They were professional and clearly take pride in their work. Eric thoroughly explained what he was doing and why. The pricing was reasonable and was consistent with the estimate provided when I first contacted them. Eric even pointed out an SDG&E program where we could get a new Wi-Fi based thermostat at no cost for materials or labor. I give them my strongest recommendation and will definitely recommend them to anyone who needs a great electrician. read more

1. Easy to make an appointment. Eric answered his phone after hours. 2. Showed up on time 3. Completed the job in a timely manner, on budget. 4. Would use him again Any questions? read more

It was easy to book an appointment with Eric. As others have mentioned, they were polite and on time. Gave me a call when they were 30 minutes out. They wore booties, which was a huge plus, it speaks to their respectfulness and how they'll treat your home. We've had many contractors come through the house, and most of them do not wear booties. I've even had a supposedly "wood floor cleaning" guy track all this dirt in my house bc he didn't wear booties (a story for another day). Eric and Max installed a ceiling fan (Exhale Fan). It was an unconventional ceiling fan, but they took the time to read about the install beforehand and were ready to do it when they were here. Unfortunately, due to possibly manufacturing flaw - the fan wobbled quite a bit. I know they installed it correctly bc I also read the directions and watched them install it. They were patient and took the time to try to see if they could fix it, though it couldn't really be fixed in the end. He also disassembled my old ceiling fan so that I could fit it into my trash can. Highly recommended. read more

Erik and Max installed a ceiling fan in a vaulted ceiling room of my house along with an outdoor light mounted next to my garage. They were very professional and friendly guys, along with very good at their jobs. Installation was done in a very timely manner and for a reasonable price. Would recommend their services read more

Able Electric - New install of ceiling fan - Electricians Near Me - Carlsbad, California

They have proven to me over and over that they are absolutely the best around!! The 4 most important things to me with an electrician are competency, honestly, reliability and do they back up their work. These guys have proven to me over and over that they are all those things!! They are absolutely the most honest electricians I have ever met. I have used them for bigger jobs in the past, but today I called because the grounding plug on my refrigerator cord broke off. They told me they could come out for $50 but recommended I just save money by doing it myself because its so incredibly easy. And they walked me through it!! They could have easily put $50 in their pockets and I wouldn't have known (how easy it was to put a new plug on the end of the cord.) But instead they considered what was best for me!! Who does that???? Nobody else!! Take it from me you will never be sorry you called them. I am impossible to please and they have more than pleased me every single time!! read more

I would definitely recommend this company to everyone and we will be using them again if needed. They were very kind and professional, fixed the problem in our kitchen within less than an hour, and they also stayed within the range of the original quote. read more

We had an issue with some of our landscape lights not working. Eric, from Able Electric, immediately responded to our request, scheduled an appointment, showed up on time, and quickly diagnosed and fixed the problem. He is technically proficient, very personable, keeps the client informed as he works, and doesn't waste time. He recommends solutions to affiliated issues and provides parts recommendations. If I ever need an electrician, I will look no further than Able Electric. Awesome service! The best! read more

Excellent service-Eric called in advance to let us know he when he would arrive and was on time. Excellent work- Eric went above and beyond to repair our problem. Fair and reasonable cost- in a time when fees and service can be very disappointing Eric was extremely fair and well priced for the work he provided.
