We purchased a home in Burbank and shortly after moving in, our insurance company of nearly 20 years, dropped us because of an electrical panel they saw during their review. My wife asked for recommendations from our old neighbors and several recommended Burbank Electric. Wayne came to our house within a day or two and looked at the panel, but also walked around with me and talked about other things I wanted to do. I was clear that some things might be some time before we could do or some things were just early ideas at this point, but Wayne listened, took notes, explained a couple of ways. But it never felt rushed or like he was eager to make a sale or talk me into anything, it was just a conversation with a really pleasant guy who knew a thing or two about electrical systems. (He also said he knew a few people he'd recommend for some of the smaller work, people who could handle the smaller jobs at a lower rate and might be able to fit us into the schedule quicker.) A few days later, we had two quotes - one for the immediate work to replace the panel and a second for the "larger" future project. We confirmed we wanted to move forward on the immediate project. He estimated it would be about a days' worth of work and he had an opening in his schedule about a week later. We cleared space and prepared for a day without power, but he did the work in such a way that most of our house still had power almost the entire time. As predicted, it took most of the day to install and then at the end, he worked to help me figure out where all the circuits went. We will totally be calling Wayne and Burbank Electric for our future electrical work. read more

Wayne from Burbank Electric contacted me right away and was unable to help me with my situation but referred me to another company. I appreciated the quick response and the referral. Thank you Wayne! read more

These five stars should be lit by mega-watt electric bulbs. Burbank Electric's Wayne B is the electrician who other electricians call. He's the best. Like many Burbankers living in a 70-year-old fixer, turning on the iron and the toaster oven at the same time was an iffy proposition. It was electric panel replacement time, as my old fuse box was straight out of The Shining. Having no power one day, I found Burbank Electric on nextdoor.com, where Wayne + crew were recommended 10x more than anybody else. That same day, Wayne appeared with a fix to get the power back on while we plotted a new panel replacement. It's not cheap, but you are only going to do it once. Wayne pulled all the permits, handled the inspections, and did a seamless job. Now I can turn everything on at once. Many of the the "Yelp-sponsored" electricians (there are 18) are not even in Burbank, and dispatch from some other location. Go with a local superstar who has probably already done work on your street. Wayne's been back to my place for minor stuff, exactly as scheduled. He's also the nicest guy in Burbank. Electrical problems? Dry your tears and call this guy! read more

Nick was great, he came over on a Friday afternoon and got everything fixed for me. Nice guy, great to work with!

Over a period of maybe 6 months, the circuit feeding our Dishwasher would stop working intermittently. As the months went on, the outages happened more frequently. We finally called Wayne at Burbank Electric. He was able to come by within 24 hours and provided us a very reasonable quote. He also told us the panel we had was very old and not the best. But he didn't try to over sell us or push us into a new panel. He was very honest that we were fine for now but at some point in the next 10 years we would need to act. Wayne came by the next day and finished the job in less than an hour! After 65+ years, I've come to value honesty above all when dealing with contractors. Wayne is the most honest person I believe we've ever worked with since moving here 35 years ago. And he's a very pleasant person to talk to. read more

I'm an out of state contractor who works in Maine and Florida. I'm not always able to get to a job site. Jeremy has provided me with great advice that has saved me time and money. read more

Wayne was quick to respond, on-time to all appts, and super friendly. I wanted to add level 2 charging to my garage which already had a sub-panel at 40Amps. Ideally, I wanted to get 50Amps into the sub-panel to make the most of the charger. He immediately checked the gauge of the wire coming in and stated it shouldn't be a problem to update the main panel breaker to 50 and go from there. Saved me serious $$ in trying to rewire from the main panel with a 1 min check. He gave me some other pointers and explained some of the permit process so I was able to apply for that myself. Work was completed within an hour a couple weeks later from the estimate and passed inspections without a hitch. Will definitely recommend Wayne and his team for any electrical work at my home and others! Thanks Burbank Electric! read more

I am a Board member for a 54 unit condominium complex and needed an electrician to inspect all our breaker panels and repair or replace them if necessary. Our insurer required that we have all our breaker panels inspected. Wayne was professional, punctual and very knowledgeable. He has been doing this for a long time. He started when he was 17 and is now middle-aged. Great person to do the job. I would highly recommend him for any electrical issue. read more

Wayne was great to work with. On time, fast and efficient, and it was easy to book our project. Highly recommend!

We had to have our VERY OUTDATED electric panel replaced. If you need any electrical work done in Burbank, look no further (hey LA...you can use him too!!). Communication, honesty, reasonable rate, knowledgeable, experienced. Wayne is the whole package. This is our second time using his services and we are so confident in him that moving forward, we will not ask for competing bids for any work needed on our home - this is our guy. read more

Wayne is the best electrician in the state. I've had others out to our house in the past and been over charged for minor things. Wayne actually cares about the people he works with and gives the most reasonable rates around. I highly recommend him and personally won't hire any other electrician ever again. He's not only great at what he does but is one of the kindest guys I've ever met. just talking with him puts a smile on my face every time. If you need any work done He's the person you should hire! Extremely professional! We got a new electric panel installed and had some other things fixed by him. exceptional work! read more

Wayne is great. Needed a full rewire of a home we purchased and was completely satisfied with his work. A lot of other contractors were very short or didn't really listen to my questions or concerns; Wayne is easy to talk to and offered good advice when it came to light fixtures, relocating outlets and showed me exactly how bad the old knob and tube wiring was. About a month after Wayne finished the job, a few issues came up that he wasn't available to come by and fix, so he got someone else to take care of them free of charge. Highly recommended. read more

Thanks to Wayne at Burbank Electric I have electric again! He also saved me from burning my house down by having things plugged in wrong. I called him and he was at my house 15 minutes later, he fit me in between calls. Knowledgeable, fast, pleasant and reasonable. He's on my speed dial! read more

Wayne is awesome. Second time he's repaired some faulty wiring in my ceiling. I called in the morning and he was there in the afternoon, fixing it all in an hours time. Super professional and a great deal as well which is a rare combo. Would give 6 stars if I could. If you're in need of an electrician in Burbank, Wayne is the man! read more

Wayne was incredible, from his very quick response and VERY detailed investigation into our complicated issue. He recommended other people to look into our situation, and walked us through all our different options, and really giving me a better sense of how the electrical system of our new house is working and its condition. We're still figuring out what we're going to do but I wouldn't hesitate to work with Wayne and recommend him to everyone. read more

Wayne was prompt, efficient, and provided excellent service to repair a short in the wiring leading to our garbage disposal. Hope to NOT have to call him again . . .but that's only because who wants an electrical problem? If we do have one again, we will definitely call Wayne. read more

Wayne and his crew are superb -- and I'll spell out the ways: It starts with the estimate, which is fair and solid. Wayne's a second generation electrician; he knows exactly what it takes to do a job. His figure is fair, and comes from deep knowledge. Then comes reliability - when Wayne sets the time, he's committed. You don't have to wonder about scheduling. He handles the inevitable surprises and challenges with grace and good humor. There's always a feeling that your favorite cousin is doing the job, not some stranger out to hustle. The work is elegant -- he ran a line halfway around my house, and I could barely see it. Wayne cares about how it looks and feels, not just how it works. He goes the extra mile -- he could have just left me plugs attached to that line but he crawled into my new washing shed and cut a hole for a vent, then gave me precise specs on what I needed to complete that function and stuck around to make sure it was done right. That's the extra mile, friends. If you ever need electrical work, think of that extra hole -- for which he charged me nothing. Lots of folks talk about "full service." There's something else, a bit squishier but way more valuable, and it's the way Wayne walks this world -- it's called Full Measure. read more

Wayne came out and made everything so easy And fast. Nice personable guy. Look no further. Not calling anyone else. read more

If you're in Burbank, the Valley, LA - wherever... you won't be disappointed choosing Burbank Electric. First off, they were on time which needs to be called out - that is unheard of from contractors so thank you! I cannot recommend Burbank Electric any higher - if there were 6 stars, they'd be getting all six. The work was flawless and I can't help but feel like I got a great deal. Perhaps more importantly, I understand what caused the issue, what needed to be fixed, and how Burbank Electric fixed it. Talk about transparency - very refreshing to work with a company like this. As another reviewer mentioned, they are great with pets and ours had a fun time watching the work get done from his sun spot. Thanks Burbank Electric! read more

Wayne was great. I had him install 3 WeMo WiFi Light Switches, and they work wonderfully. The whole process was really easy. I requested a quote on yelp and he got back to me quickly. We set up the appointment, he showed up on time, and finished the work just under the time he quoted me. Everything was very professional, and I will definitely be calling Wayne again for any other electrical needs. read more

I have looked all around for someone eager and willing enough to change out the bulbs in our cathedral ceilings. Because some had actual fixtures that needed to be screwed off in order to replace the bulb, the job called for a very very tall ladder. Apparently, this is difficult to find among electricians in Burbank. But not for Wayne at Burbank Electric. After finding him on Yelp, I called him up and we briefly discussed the situation. He said he would be able to do it .... and he totally did and knocked it right out of the park! He had a ladder in his truck tall enough to change out all of the bulbs in the place.... very knowledgeable about his work, you can tell. Rates were much cheaper than expected, and he earned it just for being so willing to check out the situation (rather than refuse to even see it). He came back with extra bulbs and the job was finished in under an hour. Woo hoo! Wayne: punctual, honest, hard-working, energetic, down to earth, just a good guy. Definitely would recommend to anyone! read more

Although I only had Wayne come once to our home to fix some electric issues, I was impressed by his honestly and effort. He was able to identify that the garbage disposal just needed some minor adjustment and that it was not an electric issue. He spent 3 hours going back and forth to fix our light sensor, which was not standard. He stayed until the job was completed correctly, always smiling. Great service and experience. read more

Wayne does a great job at fair prices and he responds quickly. My go to company for electrical needs

Was very impressed with Wayne! Not only was he an extremely nice guy but he also knew his stuff. I explained to him that I worked long hours and so he offered to come a bit earlier than normal for him just so we could get his help. Excellent customer service. He couldn't fix the problem right away (we had another electrician out prior and our landlord-neither of them could figure it out) but he came back a second day and solved it! He explained the problem to us thoroughly and offered to explain it to our landlord as well. Any place we rent/own in the future we will call Wayne. He knows what is up to code and safe, works his schedule around (if he can)to accommodate his customers and wants to get the job done in a timely fashion! read more

Great Company! Came out with about 20 min of calling (random, he was on his way to another job in my area). He was honest, direct and gave me option to make larger $$ repair if resetting the fuse didn't hold. I would call this company again. For sure! read more

I had two old Federal Pacific electrical panels: one in the house and one in the garage. If you search "Federal Pacific", you will see why I wanted to replace them. The circuit breakers had a bit of a flaw--they did not break! If you overload a circuit, it will just burn. I got three quotes and although not the absolute cheapest, Wayne was in the ballpark and I got a good impression from him. Well, he showed up on time with all the right parts. This was a day and a half job and it was completed on time and on budget. He left the work area clean. I have a small gripe--he did not mark what the breakers went to. Part of that is the old panel's fault as the previous breakers were not all that well marked, but I would have considered it A++ if he had marked the breakers. Wayne did get extra points this past weekend. One of the outlets in the room over the garage was 240 volts for a wall air conditioner. When he replaced the panel, he did not know about the 240 outlet, so it got wired for 120. I had not used the air conditioner until that day so I didn't know the outlet was not working right. I called Wayne and he was at my house in under 2 hours on a Saturday. No charge, of course. Wayne does a good job for a fair price. I will call him the next time I need electrical work. read more

Wayne was EXCELLENT. He was always punctual, did a beautiful job*, stuck to the budget, and even helped fix some other safety issues we found along the way. He knows his code (truthfully, even better than the inspector) and left me educated along the way. I have felt he was VERY honest about what did or did not need to be done for the safety of the home ('yes' on some small cost stuff and 'no' on big price stuff... the opposite of what I expected to hear). His costs were reasonable and the work has been prefect. I'll be sticking to calling Burbank Electric from now on. *We had an electrical panel that needed upgrading (there were some pretty serious errors from the previous electrician and it wouldn't pass for a permit). 1940's home. read more

Made an appointment to get a quote for the work I needed, but got stood up. Did get a call later apologizing and offering to reschedule, but had given the job to someone else by then. read more

I needed a plug replaced on my in wall AC unit this past Saturday. I placed a call at about 2:45pm. By 4pm Wayne had it all taken care of. Friendly, quick, knowledgeable and professional, I'll be calling them if/when I need any more electrical work done! read more

Great service, answers text messages fast. Turned out to be less expensive than estimate. Didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need or want. Took the time to explain and gave me options. Highly recommended. read more

Great experience with Burbank Electric. Wayne was quick to respond to a request for quote, and easy to coordinate with throughout the job. Highly recommend! Will use again for sure. read more

We had two outlets that had been improperly wired by a previous handyman. (One blew up a vacuum cleaner, and the other one just stopped working.) I called Wayne on a Monday to see if he could come first thing on Tuesday, and he did. He was professional, fixed everything in less than an hour, and charged a rate that I found reasonable for the Burbank area ($75/hour). He just forgot to close the crawl space under our house, so that's why I didn't give him 5 stars. If I need any more electrical work, I will definitely call Burbank Electric again and not a handyman! read more

We've used him several times. He always comes on time.Wayne knows what he is doing.

I was having a minor problem with one of my electrical circuits. Wayne was a little late, but he did call within the time he said he was going to be there and then arrived shortly there after. Wayne was very courteous and he advised me that it could be several items that could be wrong. He started with the least inexpensive and that seemed to do the trick. The next time I have an electrical issue I will call Burbank electrical. read more

After checking with a few other local electricians I called Wayne at Burbank Electric on a Thursday. His pricing was a little less than the other guys so we went ahead and scheduled an appointment for him to come to our house on the following Monday. He was on time and prepared! He addressed the issue (improper GFCI wiring done by another contractor a few years ago) and took extra time to explain things to us. I highly recommend Burbank Electric! read more

We were very pleased with our first experience with Wayne at Burbank Electric. Had a small outlet issue. Wayne was extremely friendly, efficient, professional and came and fixed our problem within a couple hours. Highly recommend. read more

Wayne was excellent! He fixed our problem very very quickly. Such a great guy to work with and he was patient and understanding with our barking dog! Our dog was trying to play fetch with him by the time he left :) read more

We had Wayne move our cable/internet outlet across the room. Repair some wiring to our chandelier, and install dimmer switches. He responded quickly, showed up on time, and was very professional. I highly recommend!!! read more

Wayne came out to my place in Burbank after another electrician did a less than stellar job on a very expensive panel upgrade. Wayne was very nice and extremely knowledgeable about the area. He took the time to go through what was done and give me some professional feedback on what was done right and wrong and what we need to do to get the job up to code. He also quoted me some prices on some other electrical work we need done and the quotes were right in line with my other local phone estimates. I'll be using him in the future and will update my review once he's done some actual work for us but so far the service is top-notch. He even took the time to email me some notes on what he looked at which went far above my expectations. A genuinely nice, local guy. read more

I was very happy I had Burbank Electric rewire my house. Wayne is a real pro and wants to do the job right. For any electrical work I recomend Burbank Electric. read more
