I'm the President of our Homeowners Association. We had old 40 AMP panels in each of our units and…read morewanted to add Air Conditioning and Solar. This required replacing the 4 Meters, the main panel, and all three subpanels in each unit. I can't say enough good things about Penna Electric, their technical staff, and the project manager. This job required a lot of coordination with SCE and each homeowner; it was complex. The project manager kept us in the loop with great communication in person, by text, and by phone; the electrician's work was top-notch, with great quality, cleanliness, and attention to detail. The entire HOA and I feel lucky to have found Penna Electric - it was a complex job that required a lot of planning. They passed all city permits with flying colors; great service. If you have a multi-meter job that requires precise planning and execution, you won't find a better electrical contractor in the South Bay. Thanks to Frank and the entire Penna staff for the great job.

This is that unicorn you're looking for but never thought existed. I found Ian when I had what I thought was a refrigerator issue which turned out to be an electrical issue that burned the motherboard of my Sub Zero. I noticed immediately that unlike other companies, Ian spoke to me like I was a referral from a personal friend. He was helping to troubleshoot on the phone and text BEFORE charging an arm and a leg. And only after he had an idea of what the possible issues could be. An when two of his team ( his very competent sons obviously trained by Ian) came, they were super respectful and efficient in identifying the issue at the break panel and resolving it in the most efficient way. And they uncovered the issues was with the main electrical coming from SCE so Ian reminded me that because the issue was caused by them , that I can file a claim to get reimbursed. These guys solve problems like they would want others to solve it for their mom, sister, etc. And I am 100% certain They fixed the issue for no less than half of what another company would charge. After that I had a couple of smaller projects at our rental property : 1) replacing all the under cabinet lights in the kitchen - he sent me the link to the lights to get on Amazon so he wouldn't have to upcharge me for them and his price was again nearly half of what another company quoted 2) Converted all 6 recessed ceiling lights from some old Pre-code version to current LED. Now I was quoted over $1,000 for this by another company and they also said they had to cut into the ceiling and then patch to repair that. So we delayed doing this work for months until all but one light was still working but when the guys from South Bay Electric came they geniusly figured out that based on the type of box and connectors of the current lights, they could safely and to code use parts from a new system to do the conversion rather than replacing the entire system. If you appreciate tradespeople who are students of their art, who get a kick out of solving problems safely, efficiently and effectively, these are the folks you want to have your back. You can hear it in their voices, feel it in their attitude and witness it in their mastery of their skill. And during their lunch break they shared how they often try to help people who call solve their own issues if possible. They will give them instructions and tell them what parts to get because they feel bad charging people for work they could have done themselves. Recently, we called Ian to request his help with some repair work at my late father in law's house. Some lights and outlets weren't working and he provided a range of potential solutions to solving the problem and included implications as it relates to the involvement of the city. Equipped with full information we were able to determine the successful course of action. In this case - get this, the bill came in at 1/2 the price Ian quoted. Who does that? Anyways, all I know is that Ian and his boys are on my speed dial and I am a loyal customer for life!

They said we can submit a claim for reimbursement. Alfred dodged all my husband's atttempts to get an invoice. When I called, it turns out he refused to give me an invoice because he thinks I am going to commit fraud all because I asked him the day that he was here if he is licensed bonded and insured which is a normal question to ask of a contractor. He accused me of trying to commit fraud when he was the one who spent two hours here and couldn't even figure what the problem is all the time saying that he had to leave to buy his mom lunch.

I usually have great luck finding home service pros on Yelp but unfortunately my experience with…read moreAlex & Alex electrical was disappointing. Scheduling with them initially was a little confusing - first we were messaging through Yelp, then text, then they sent me to their website. They were communicative but I never knew which channel to reach out to first. They did come out quickly which was appreciated. The first two gentleman that came to replace my fan and fix my ceiling light were not great. They would look at something, and then disappear and call someone and be on the phone with someone while they were looking at the fan or light fixture, almost like they were calling someone and asking them what they should do. Shouldn't they know? They were at my house for HOURS. WAY longer than I think they should have been. They would just look at the light fixture and talk to each other for like 5 minutes, then step out to make a phone call, then come back and start working on it. Over and over and over. They took a brand new fan out of the box and replaced it, but it wobbled like crazy (turns out they just didn't put the fan together really well because the second guys that came back made it much better). When they replaced my dimmer switch and celiing light, it looked AWFUL. Wasn't flush to the ceiling at all. They told me just to patch it, but this clearly needed more than a patch! I couldn't believe they just left it like that. I called and told them I was unhappy with their work, and they offered to come back and fix it. The second guys that came back were in and out so fast. They fixed the light and it looks perfect, just as it should. Clearly the first guys that came out had no idea what they were doing. Disappointed to have had a less than stellar experience, considering how highly reviewed they are. It must depend on what service folks you have come out to actually do the work.
