Everything started off great. Someone answered the phone promptly and came out the same day to look at several electrical projects around my house. I was impressed with the quick response and was looking forward to receiving a quote and moving forward. Unfortunately, after the initial visit, all communication stopped. I called multiple times to follow up but never received a return call or a quote. It was very disappointing to have someone come into my home, assess the work, and then completely disappear without any explanation. I understand that companies get busy or may decide not to take on a project, but a quick phone call or message would have been appreciated. A lack of communication like this makes it difficult to recommend their services. read more

Prompt and professional! I appreciate the auto-contact feature of other professionals near me. Saved me some work. read more

Capistrano Electric - House panel - Electricians Near Me - San Juan Capistrano, California

Responsive and honest. Although the EV installation went well, my charger tripped occasionally. It turned out my Q5 EV charger had internal current protection that seems to conflict with the circuit breaker built-in current protection. Michael replaced the circuit breaker several times per my request and eventually installed a circuit breaker without the current protection. I confirmed with the EV charger manufacturer that is safe to do this installation and may be the recommended way with the type of charger I have. read more

Great communication. Great service. Superior attention to detail and incredibly friendly. Would definitely hire again.

We had an excellent experience working with Capistrano Electric. They came out the very next day to provide a quote and were incredibly responsive through both text and email. Before the installation, they asked all the right questions to make sure we got the exact type of outdoor outlet we needed. The installation was done quickly and professionally, and even though we weren't home at the time, they went above and beyond by sending us a detailed video walking through everything that was completed. Truly outstanding workmanship, communication, and customer service. Highly recommend and will definitely use them again! read more

Capistrano Electric is an amazing company! Here's the reason why I'm giving them five stars! I highly recommend Mikes service!! 1. When I initially made the phone call at 7:00 PM the representative was kind, answered all of my questions, responsive and ethical. The company offers 24 hours service which is amazing in emergency situations. 2. Mike is an amazing electrician. He was honest, gave me a few quotes that were reasonable. He was knowledgeable about the different types scenarios of what could be going on with my kitchen outlets. 3. Mike completed the work with precision. He did not rush the job he took his time, explained what was going on by testing all electrical outlets in the house/garage. In doing his investigation, he realized refrigerator outlets was completely burned. Mike explained the process . I believe good hard-working individuals need to be recognized for their exceptional work and that was Mike!! 4. Mikes expertise in electrical work was great. He was ethical with their pricing and service. Mike had all the products he needed to replace my outlets and did a fantastic job with an emergency call. I'm lucky that these parts were available. 5. Mike did a fantastic job cleaning up after installing new outlets. read more

Great work by Michael @ Capistrano Electric. We were having issues with our doorbell chime. Called them, Michael sent a quote via email (very reasonable), came out within 2 days, was on time, fixed our issue and was done in less than 30 mins. Didn't try to upsell with a "newly discovered problem" or anything. I paid exactly what he quoted. Courteous, professional, great work...would definitely use them again! read more

We needed better lighting in our house, so after checking Yelp, I reached out to Capistrano Electric. Mike, who owns the business and does the work himself, did a fantastic job. We're thrilled with how everything turned out and just wish we had done it sooner. Capistrano Electric put in an LED light above our front door and added new LED lights in the kitchen and family room. He also fixed the lighting above our staircase, which was a big relief since it used to be hard to see going down the stairs. Mike installed a modern ceiling fan in my husband's office and a dusk-to-dawn floodlight outside. Everything looks great. Capistrano Electric worked quickly, knew what he was doing, and kept things organized. The price was fair and upfront, and Mike made sure to explain everything so there were no surprises. He was great at communicating, sending a bid the same day he visited, and keeping me updated on when he'd arrive and finish. When I decided to upgrade to more lights after seeing the kitchen, Mike let me know about the price change right away. We're really glad to have finally found a reliable and trustworthy electrician in South Orange County. I highly recommend Capistrano Electric to anyone who needs electrical work or advice. read more

Mike is awesome, very, very professional. He is always available ASAP which is amazing. I have had them come to my house for 3 projects now - Mike always knows what he's doing and the job is done ASAP. I don't need to question anything, I know it's gonna be done correctly. Mike also recommended a drywaller who was top notch - what I was doing required cutting up my drywall on one of my mad scientist projects. Louis did an amazing job and I couldn't even tell anything was there. Crisis averted. Thanks guys! Highly recommended. read more

Timely and excellent service. They kept me informed of the estimated time of arrival. The electrician was courteous and professional. He did the job efficiently and was very clean. I would definitely use them again. And, the price was reasonable. read more

In regards to Capistrano Electric - I emailed Michael Deantonio late Tuesday nite - close to 10:30PM and asked if he would come out to my very elderly Mom's home in San Juan on Wed. I phoned him at 8:30AM (WED) and we ball-parked between 11:00 and noon. Mike showed up - a polite and reserved young man. When talking about his fee I said - your positive reviews speak for themselves I just want a job well done for my Ma. We replaced a couple of faulty ceiling lights to go with the set of four that didn't need changing - so Mike jetted off to Home Depot and returned with a pair of lights that contrasted quite well with what we had. I am more than happy with the result and my 99 yearold Mom loves her new lights with 3X the lighting output she had before - her eyeballs are swimming with 'de'-light. Michael - will be my 'go-to' electrician going forward and I will refer him to all the little widows and eldely couples that make up my Mom's little neighborhood. You are in good hands with Mr. Deantonio. read more

Quick. Professional. Great work. Can't say enough about Michael, will use again anytime

Replaced regular light switches with smart switches. Did a great job troubleshooting and was easy to work with.

Capistrano Electric did a 200 Amp panel upgrade and EV outlet for me, They responded the next day with a great quote (I had three) then walked me threw all of the permitting and Inspections, I was suprised at all the Edison and city Inspections, several panel inspections, in home inspection then stucco inspection. Michael had great communication for each step to keep me aware of the project. This process took a couple weeks but we were without power for just one afternoon. read more

The morning I called Capistrano Electric started like this. I smelled a burning odor. I know there were no fires in the immediate area. The sky rained the night before. The air was fresh outside. The smell lingered. I used the nostrils to track it. I tracked it to an area near an outlet that had a surge protector connected to it. Upon removing the surge protector, there was a flash of light, and the outlet now showed charring. Investigating further, we determined that power outlets in the nearby bathroom and upstairs stopped working. I thought, damn, this is an issue! I resorted to Yelp and submitted this issue as a project. Several electricians auto responded. Capistrano Electric was the first to humanly respond. Michael DeAntonio and I exchanged a few words describing what's going on. Within 5 minutes, we were on a phone call together discussing the issue. We spoke for 5 minutes on the phone. Michael then promptly indicated that he could be on his way to the home. I obliged. Michael appeared within 30 minutes. He was professionally dressed, mannerable, polite, courteous, caring, non-judgmental, made suggestions, and performed the repair. Michael completed the repair within minutes. He then tested the problem areas, confirming everything worked properly. He pointed out that when wired properly, the problem outlet should have been the isolated issue. It should not have affected other outlets. Michael's repair and the rewiring to ensure this problem never occurs again, were quoted at a fantastic price. We asked Michael for outdoor lighting. electric vehicle charger, and interior suggestions. He provided some good knowledge. We have another project booked as a result! I am impressed by Michael's professionalism and for going above and beyond the initial repair. He takes pride in his craft and is beyond reasonably priced. I'm excited about the next project I have booked with Michael. I am so excited that I shared his information within our company Employee Forum. This is an area all employees can access for suggestions/referrals of services and exchange ideas/collaborate. I'm confident that someone will utilize Capistrano Electric from the workplace. In today's world, people don't often go the extra distance when working on projects. Michael did, and I can tell that this wasn't the first time he's done this. This is ingrained in his business acumen. I'm grateful to have worked with Capistrano Electric. I foresee a brighter home in the very near future! If anyone wants to converse about this review, I can be reached at 714-four zero four - 2 5 six six. My name is Theron. My nickname is Via. I write reviews feom real life experiences. read more

Michael runs this business and he responded very quickly to my call. I had a circuit fail and thought for sure it was a faulty fuse. He was professional and kind, and he assured me that it was not the breaker or fuse. He traced the problem back to a bad connection on the beginning of the line. It was an easy fix. One he could have easily turned into an expensive lengthy fix. He has honor and integrity, and a passion for his work. His rates were more than fair. Don't let his looks fool you at first. He's the real deal... a true gentleman. Highly recommend. read more
