This company is awesome. We requested a walkthrough to see if we wanted to switch out lighting in the middle of a kitchen remodel so it was not likely necessary but we needed to have a conversation about our options. They were so honest and upfront about what we should do and the advice was that what we have is good but they can upgrade us however it was going to cost X. We told them we cannot upgrade at this time but they were so helpful they let us know exactly what we can buy on our own and have our contractor install the items as part of the remodel. Anything we ever need in the future, I am calling this company. They are not the least expensive option out there but they are very fair, very honest, and I have no doubt they will do excellent work and stand by it. Highly recommend !! read more

We were looking for an electrician to add a subpanel, outlets, and lighting to our unfinished garage. Armes Electric was wonderful--efficient from beginning to end. My initial consultation was with Pete, who arrived on time as scheduled. We discussed what we wanted, and he offered helpful suggestions while clearly explaining the scope of work. He estimated the job would take a day and a half to complete. On the first day, we were told the technicians would arrive between 8:00 and 9:00 AM, and they showed up a few minutes early. Daniel and four additional team members came to complete the work. I wasn't expecting that many people, but everyone stayed focused on their tasks and completed the work by 5 PM. Having a larger crew made the job go much faster. The second day of work took place a couple of days later due to other projects we had scheduled, but Armes Electric was very accommodating and flexible with our timeline. Andres and another technician returned to finalize the outlets and install the lighting. They also helped with a few additional items that weren't included in the original work order, but they gladly assisted us without hesitation. We were very pleased with the finished work and highly recommend Armes Electric. read more

After trying to install a 3-way motion sensor light switch myself, I managed to have all the lights on the circuit not working - Armes was able to respond within a few hours and fixed the problem in short order - the Technician (Alex) was outstanding - explained what I had done wrong and corrected it - now we can see again - I highly recommend Armes as a professional electrician. read more

I wanted to replace existing outlets with new ones. However, one of them appeared to have too many wires than what I had observed in other outlets and required more expertise than I could DIY. We were in bit of a pickle and needed to get this resolved ASAP. I did not want to mess with something like this and contacted Armes Electric. Pete the owner was out of town but was able help us out and get this resolved at the earliest. Now, that is incredible customer service. This customer service has definitely made me a repeat customer of Armes Electric. read more

Another electrician referred me to Armes. I'm not sure if it was because my issue was perceived as a small job, but communication was lacking. Ended up hiring someone else. Still have not heard back from them. read more

The lamps in my master bedroom started flickering and Armes Electric was able to get a team to come out quickly to troubleshoot. Technicians Andres and Alex did a thorough job checking all the outlets and the outside panel. They found a few lines that were burnt out and replaced a few outlets and a breaker. Technician Matt did a great job with clean up and left my room spotless. They all communicated well, walking me step by step with what they were doing, and took the time to educate me along the way. Amazing customer service from my initial phone call with David and then quality work from all the technicians! read more

Needed to get a bonding issue with the gas meter sorted out. Communicated via yelp for a bit to identify what the issue could be. In the end I went ahead and schedule a service visit to inspect and ensure the gas meter was bonded correctly. They came out within the time frame stated and got the job done in short time. All in all a great company to work with if you need electrical work. Thank you. read more

I needed several new dedicated circuits in the garage, and a plan for a new ev charger and future high-draw appliances. I was extremely impressed with the professionalism and courtesy of Armes Electric from start to finish. Pete Armes spoke to me at length on the phone and suggested a better, more cost-effective plan than the one I had developed. Working with him was a pleasure. The technicians were also knowledgeable, professional, and pleasant to work with. read more

OMG!! This electric company is the best, most reliable and professional that I've ever worked with in Southern California! Pete and his amazing team of electricians are just incredible people and truly want to be helpful for their clients. They came to my rescue in the middle of a paver job gone bad and they made the electrical happen with a team of eight people getting it done. It was just amazing to behold! Thank you to the entire team and my business will be with yours for the next 20 years! read more

Needed an electrician to install a new ceiling fan and I really picked a winner. They communicated every step when they would come, reminders of appointment before date. They were very professional in their work , knew what they were doing from the minute they came in the house. They were very careful not to get anything dirty and did a great job. read more

Armes Electric - specifically Armando and Chris - came out to fix electrical outlet issues. They were courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. I highly recommend them. They really helped us out of a jam, as we had out-of-town guests coming to visit the next day. And their fees were reasonable. Armes Electric was a gem of find! read more

Wow, I have blown away by the professional communication, quick response and the quality of there work. Andres arrived early, isolated the problem and brought everything up to code. He walked us through everything. I would highly recommend. We will only be using Armes Electric. read more

Installed a tear drop chandelier with 12 lights. Spacing was about an absolute home run. Their work was great. Professional in all aspects. Will definitely use them again. Would highly recommend them. read more

These guys are the BEST! They have done work in my home several times from installing recessed lights / replacing faulty wiring and are always efficient and professional. Pete, Jason and the team of guys at Armes Electric.... I would absolutely highly recommend them for any Electrical contracting needs for home or business. read more

I contacted them to get a quote to participate in an Edison program to upgrade my electrical panel. I had been told by my insurance company that I must upgrade to renew my policy. Pete came to my home to inspect and quote the job. He was so professional, considerate and kind. He looked over my panel and my homes electrical needs and he wondered why my insurance company would require this change. He didn't see a need for the upgrade under my current circumstances. After his visit, I contacted my insurance company and found they were misinformed about the type of panel I had and once this info was corrected....I no longer had to do an upgrade. Although I ended up not doing business with Pete's company, I am thankful for how he handled this. I never felt any pressure from him to do this job. Amazing!!!! A company so professional that they don't try to talk you into a rather expensive job. Five stars is NOT a high enough rating for this company. read more

I had two other highly rated electricians come out to see about replacing LED lights in the kitchen that had started going out. They came out, examined the lights, said the lights were an unusual small size, told me they'd need to think about it and never called me back. Armes Electric, on the other hand, came out, looked at the lights, said they didn't make that light anymore, and I would need to get new ones with a standard can size, but it would require enlarging the current holes in the ceiling and there might be some drywall damage. That was fine with me; after a year of having three of five lights not working (one just being a hole in the ceiling with wires hanging out of it), they took only a couple of hours to refit new cans and lights, and they look fantastic. I like the look of these lights even better than what was there before, kind of a recessed, ridged look to them, and there was no (noticeable) drywall damage at all! They cleaned up afterwards and the cost was competitive. I wish I had a picture of the 'Before' to show the difference. Even though it was a smaller project they did a great job, I couldn't be happier, I wished I'd called them months ago. read more

I was very pleased with the work done by Armes Electric. They replaced four aging halogen can lights with new LED models. The accompanying wall switches needed updating as well. The guys were careful to protect my wood floors throughout the process and cleaned up afterward. Prices were fair, work was done well, and the electricians were efficient and friendly. I will call them again! read more

A great experience. They arrived on time, fixed the problem quickly, the price was reasonable and mostly I feel really good about these guys and this company. I would encourage you to give them a call. You'll like them! read more

Contacted Armes via Yelp Projects-- Pete was so helpful and provided suggestions for things to check/try to fix the issue ourselves. The circuit was still not working, so we contacted their office and they sent out a team the same day! I received a text with a very helpful link including all details for my job and also showed the team's live location in route to our house. Jason and Andres arrived promptly, quickly identified the issue, and replaced the problem outlet. They provided a thorough explanation of the issue and took great care in our home :) Shortly after they left, I received a call from Jason saying they forgot to close up our electrical panel. We definitely would not have noticed this ourselves and he came back after hours to close it up for us. The entire Armes team was so professional and we will definitely be returning customers! read more

After trying, many electricians, I finally found the best. This company is not only so professional, but they are all so nice. They are reliable and show up every time. I am referring them to all of my neighbors and friends. read more

Fantastic service and work. Cleaning up after a poor experience with a previous electrician.

UPDATE: they called me after seeing this review to apologize and i appreciate that they took ownership and responsibility. also offered reimbursement (that i'm not taking), and did not pressure me to change my review. perhaps i will do business with them in the future, if this was just a fluke of a bad experience. you might have a great experience with Armes, but mine was what it was. ---- 2 stars for being late without setting expectations that they were going to be later than originally late, and also i think there's some miscommunication btwn the front/admin side of the business and the people who actually do the work onsite. regarding lateness: They were one of the most responsive on Yelp. 1 minute before they were scheduled to arrive, they sent me a text saying they are en route. But then they called me and said they accidentally sent that text notification prematurely and they'll actually need to be 1.5h late. Ok, sure. 1h 34m hours later, they sent me a text saying they are en route. Yay. But 1h 46m later, their scheduling website said the Status is "In progress" but that's incorrect because they hadn't even arrived yet. I called to see if they were even able to make it out still, but it went to voicemail and i left a message. regarding miscommunication: I told them the gate code, and if they could also check out the electrical panel (through Yelp) but when the electrician called (to tell me he was going to late) and i asked them if they received the gate code, they said no. furthermore, they didn't check out the electrical panel to see if anything would need to be updated for next time, but that's ok b/c i probably won't be using their services again. They arrived at the same time as another vendor I was expecting so I was a bit flustered and didn't go out of my way to ask them to look at the electrical panel because i forgot (and expected them to have already received the work order with those details). Also, when they parked their vehicle, they blocked the driveway so the other vendor (who happened to be driving right behind them) couldn't pull in to park. Granted, they said they weren't sure if they could park in the driveway, for some reason. I didn't give them 1-star b/c as human beings, the electricians themselves were nice people, and they did complete the work of updating a couple of outlets. Time is money though, and I still ended up paying full price for everything. read more

I just finished a complete remodel on my home, and Armes Electric did a fantastic job. We changed all the lighting to LED, installed many new cans and retrofitted others. We added new bathroom light fixtures, ceiling fans, moved outlets, added outlets, installed new outdoor lighting fixtures and countless other things. Just a few things that stand out in no particular order: Always showed up when they said they would. Did an outstanding job every single time the guys came out.( I believe there were at least 8 different guys working on the project). My home was always left spotless. Offered several options as to placement of fixtures. Responded to my calls in a prompt manner. They understood how my solar system worked and made sure everything worked well together. Great for small projects, and large. I would call them in a second... for any electrical project. read more

Armes Electric - Jason Hall and Jared Lowery are just two of the great guys from Armes ! - Electricians Near Me - Laguna Hills, California

Can't recommend Armes enough. Been meaning to write this for a while now, but have had then out a couple times to: * Install EV outlet * Do some panel work * Install ceiling fans On time, efficient, professional, and still happy with all of the work. read more

I comparison shopped before we had wiring rerouted and a ceiling fan replaced. Armes offered the best price for the best device. Armando and Jason are fantastic, and I asked for them to come back to do a second job because I was so impressed with their work, professionalism, friendliness, and clarity. read more

I recently bought a house knowing the previous owner cut corners with unpermitted work. The 100 amp electrical panel needed an upgrade and there was a mess of wires, poor connections, and double lugged breakers. I reached out to Pete at Armes Electric and he was friendly, knowledgeable, and very responsive. He helped me throughout the process of contacting Edison, city inspections, and even Stucco repair. Pete, the owner, was kind enough to throw in a free EV charger as there was easy access while they were upgrading the main panel. Armando and Jason got the electrical aspect of things done in a day and the photos speak for themselves. A week after the job, multiple lights and outlets went out in a portion of the house. This was on a Friday night. Pete was at my house on Saturday morning. He quickly found the problem and it was unrelated to the panel upgrade. The previous owners were branching multiple circuits from a single power source with a loose wire nut. If you are doing research on licensed electricians, I would definitely recommend them. read more

They came same day to fix power loss in part of the house. Highly recommend. They also added outlets and in past have upgraded my panel to meet building codes read more

May be not the cheapest on the block but Steve's team has always been super professional and neat in their work. High on my recommendation list! They have done a good bit of electric work in our living, dining, kitchen and garage. All of it was high quality and we have been able to enjoy for at least 5 years without a hitch. read more

Armes did a great job installing 2 GFI plugs behind the toilets for a bidet, install a new fountain pump and install a new LED light above the tub. Everything was done quickly, professionally, and at a fair price. I would use them again. read more

Had a wonderful experience and great service today from Armes Electric! The electrician Armando, who arrived right on time, was really thorough and discussed and explained the project to me. He took his time and worked out a placement plan for two new electrical outlets in my garage. He also answered all of my questions and offered excellent customer service. In addition, the owner of Armes Electric, also stoped by to assist and was equally knowledgeable and friendly. I had a prior service call from Armes in March, but the electrical plugs in my garage did not get installed. Once I alerted them of this, they were happy to come back out. Great install and experience! read more

Great service by experienced electricians. I highly recommend them. I have used Armes many times and they never dissapoint!

It's hard to know where to even begin with reviewing Armes Electric, because I have so many wonderful things to say. For starters, the owner Pete is one of the most genuinely kind, funny, and down to earth business men I've met. He not only takes pride in his team's work, but clearly has a tremendous amount of knowledge. When is there ever a good time for your main electrical panel to start melting? Never! Not to mention - how do you find a company with technicians and customer service that knows how to navigate the situation and handle SDGE (not an easy task by any stretch!) with ease and reassures you along the way. Pete went above and beyond not just for the initial service call and complication with SDGE, but throughout the entire process... from learning the gas line was too close to the panel, that parts of the lines were encased in concrete (not a fun surprise, sorry Jason!), I could go on and on! This was not a smooth-sailing job by any means, but wow did Armes Electric pull through. I can't thank Jason and all the technicians who were out here enough! Not to mention, the legendary Pete, who keeps things real, honest, and answers calls from clients and SDGE when it matters most. I will never forget you rolling up to our house after securing the permit and saying "who the hell are you?" to me. Priceless and hilarious. You know who I am now! Haha! This review is long overdue, but Armes Electric is definitely not a company I'll be forgetting anytime soon... instead, they're one I have saved and pinned in my contacts now. They will be my go to for as long as I need an electrican (hopefully not too often). Thank you so so so much! Also, Jason... he's the best of the best! They're all amazing, but talk about a thorough, positive, genuine, and genius electrician... Jason is the man! No offense to the rest of the amazing guys who helped too! Thank you again and to anyone reading this... you won't regret it. read more

Highly recommend Armes Electric. Received some solid, "saved the day," DIY kind of advice over the phone when I called for an appointment. This saved me some money as I would have had to pay a premium for an electrician to come out on what was very busy, fully booked day for Armes. Once I did have the guys come out, they were on time, incredibly friendly, took care of what needed to be done to further avoid my initial issue I called them for. Great job! read more

The owner of Armes Electric came out to my home to give me a quote to run electrical for an outdoor sauna. I was quoted around $1,300. When I approved the work they scheduled the service and two electricians came. They quickly assessed the job and said it would be much more complicated than originally quoted and that it would likely cost over $5,000. They said they would resend the updated quote. They never sent it. My husband called the owner requesting the updated quote. He said he would get back to him same day and never called back or sent the quote. We were very disappointed with the service. read more

Great work by Dalton & his partner. They were very thorough explaining the issues and how to resolve it. They fixed our current EV charger and the breakers appropriately. Also installed an outside unit. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was safe and clean. Super job! read more

I highly recommend Armes Electric for your electrical needs. My inquiry began with an email and some photos of an install I had in mind. Basically adding a 20A circuit to my garage - not really needing the wiring run through the walls, my request was specifically to just run the conduit in the garage along the wall. I appreciated receiving a call from David at Armes who requested addtn'l photos of the circuit box that me, not knowing much about electrical, overlooked. I appreciate the attention to detail and not just throwing random quotes at me. David got back to me right away, we scheduled the install and the quote price was spot on. On install day this morning, Armondo came out and was nice enough to ask if it was ok to start a bit early. I agreed and he arrived exactly when he said he would. The install was smooth and faster than I expected. The bends in the conduit were very exact, and everything is perfectly level and professional looking. Even for this simple install, Armondo & Armes Electric exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be contacting Armes Electric in the future. Thank you! read more

Excellent service. Quick, knowledgeable, and nice (and clean!). I also appreciate them explaining what was wrong and what they were doing to fix it. Thank you. I now have a go-to electrician! read more
