Linden owner operator came over on short notice! Was pleasant and professional. Added an outlet to keep new ATT fiber box separated from my Sprinkler. The work was excellent the price was very good. Thanks Carlsbad Electrical Services. I highly recommend these guys! read more

I had a very disappointing experience with the owner of Carlsbad Electric. The initial call was to diagnose and fix a faulty GFCI. During the visit, the outlet box/cover was damaged, and I was told it would require an additional charge and return trip to replace it, costing hundreds of dollars. Prior to starting on that issue, I asked about a problem with our low-voltage landscape lighting. Within the first moments of troubleshooting, wiring was cut in two locations, the issue remained unresolved, and the wires were left exposed, which I had to repair myself. Ultimately, the GFCI issue was traced to two GFCIs on the same circuit (from a prior homeowner), but this was only determined after the visit. The total bill exceeded $400 for less than an hour of work and a single GFCI/outlet that likely cost less than $25. Based on the overall experience--damage during service, unresolved issues, and pricing--I would not recommend. Update: The owner responded stating multiple hours were spent, that all issues were resolved, and that additional work was performed at no charge. My review reflects the final outcome, including the cause of the issue and the total cost. My comments are not meant to be personal, just an accurate account of my experience so others can make informed decisions. read more

Linden fixed an issue with my panel and spotted a major problem that could've caused a fire. Really glad he caught it. I'll definitely be using this company for all my electrical work from now on. Straightforward, honest service -- no pressure, no upselling, just a solid guy doing good work read more

Super satisfied with the service I received from Linden and the team at Carlsbad Electrical Services! I requested an estimate in the evening and received a follow-up first thing the next day. My issue (grounding issues in a bathroom GFCI) was simple enough to be resolved immediately following the estimate allowing me to complete this task in one day. Carlsbad Electrical Services is now my first call! Highly recommended for anyone in the Carlsbad area! read more

I wanted to change a Breaker, they wanted to install a new 100A sub panel. Clearly not needed. I went with someone else.

Ron and Hunter were here to do another tricky job for me, putting in a three way for a bedroom with two exits and moving an exterior light exit switch to a new location. Ron is the master of this kind of problem and quickly figures out a solution. read more

As a north country landlord, I rely on contractors for honest, quality work. I wouldn't trust my electrical needs with anyone but Linden. He is very professional, offers fair pricing, and does excellent work. I highly recommend him. read more

Quick response. Explained everything very well, did the needful well without ant upsell.

Excellent Service, friendly & Clean!!!! I would highly recommend Linden and his team!

linden and his team were awesome! they were responsive and super fast getting the outlet installed for my sauna. I gave them the wrong outlet type and they quickly came back out and got the right one installed for me. they will be my first call for any electrical I need. read more

Something at 5am went "pop" and took out the electricity in the front of our house. One would think, no big deal...the refrigerator, air conditioner and garage door still worked...however, in my house, it's a huge deal because the two rooms that were out are my husband's and son's "computer rooms"! I called Carlsbad Electrical and left a message, Linden texted me back soon after. He told me he had an appointment available the same day and quoted me his fees. He arrived on time and was able to diagnose and fix the problem quickly. He charged exactly what he quoted. Highly recommend! read more

Quality service, quick, arrived on time, good communication, however, high price for service provided

They had Ron the electrician come out and diagnose the intermittent power problem. Fixed the problem temporarily and scheduled a service appt for a permanent fix so that there would be no power issues in the future. On time great service! read more

I feel bad that I can't remember the electricians name that helped us with our electrical issue we were having with our subpanel. He was very kind, informative, knowledgeable, and quick. He explained to us what our current issue was, and fixed it in under an 30 minutes. He also took the time to explain the possible issues we may see in the future, yet was upfront about it not being something we needed to do asap. So, when the time comes that we may have to replace our subpanel we will absolutely be calling Carlsbad Electrical Services. I wasn't happy that I needed an electrician, however, I was happy to have found Carlsbad Electrical Services. *Added Plus* I really appreciative of the quick response/quote that I got when I was looking on Yelp for a local electrician from Carlsbad Electrical. While it wasn't an emergency, the ease of getting in contact with someone quickly, receiving a quote, and scheduling the appointment really made it as convenient as possible. Thank you! read more

Major electrical issue with our circuit breaker and LCE,our usual company, just had a voicemail saying they weren't available for another month and call back then. What?! Tried Carlsbad electrical and they could come out the next day. It was a decent size job and they were able to come to do it a day earlier which we were very grateful for. Ron was our electrician and he was very knowledgeable and efficient and had a lot of helpful hints. He took the extra time to go through all of the breakers with me and made sure everything was working perfectly before he left. It was obvious he knew exactly what he was doing and he took a lot of pride in his work. Can't say enough about their professionalism and responsiveness. They are now our go to guys. read more

We have been using this company for the last few years. They have been great! Lindon is super responsive about scheduling. They always schedule us in pretty quick. Josh has come to do the majority of the work at our home. He is fantastic! Super kind and competent electrician! Every job done right the first time. We ONLY use this company for our electrical service needs. They are A+ all the way! read more

These guys came out for 2 different jobs, once to replace/move electrical outlets in our kitchen and once to install exterior lighting. Both times they did a clean job and started/finished on time. We have another job coming up for them, and we will definitely be using them again to install a new electrical panel. I highly recommend them to anyone. read more

It's been about a month since I had work done with Carlsbad Electrical. I have been super busy with work, but i wanted to make sure I let any potential customers know that this company is amazing. I got a response quickly, and Josh was sent out the next day. Josh spent some time looking for the most cost-effective way to install an outdoor outlet, and he did an amazing job. Not only did he take the time to explain everything, but he went above and beyond what i had expected. You get what you pay for, and i wanted to find a local business, and Carlsbad Electrical will be my go-to for any problems I have. Thank you again guys you made a very stressful situation quickly dealt with. read more

So, I had a problem with some outlets in my bathrooms and outside, I was given an estimate of 350 dollars. I said, "OK," sounds good. Scheduling was an issue. They weren't respectful of my time. I was told 2 pm on Friday that they had to reschedule to 9 am on Saturday, then the guy showed up at 8:30, while I was still in bed. It took him about 45 minutes running around and looking at things to figure out the reason why we had never had power in my daughter's bathroom was a loose wire shoved in the back. To be fair, I NEVER would have found this. Then I walked out to the guy's car where he was sitting for about 15 minutes on the phone and told him the power was still out in my bathroom and outside, so the problem wasn't fixed. He said, "Well, that's a separate issue, I'll have to charge you for a second troubleshooting." I thought this was reasonable, given the obscure nature of the original problem, but the slap in the face was when he handed me a bill for 445 for the original troubleshooting. I don't like being charged more for subjective pricing, and that's what happened here. One issue, 350, might have been OK, but just overcharging to overcharge is the height of offensive to me after they wasted my time on Friday. The guy actually seemed surprised when I told him I would go with a different company to fix the other problem, which he was originally hired to fix because of the bait and switch. *edit* They contacted me just as I posted this review and said they were going to charge me 250 instead because they didn't like how this went down. My problem still isn't fixed, though, and I wouldn't hire them again. read more

I received a quote from Linden at Carlsbad Electrical for a Qmerit (Chevy) EV Charger promotional installation of a 50 A 240 V circuit for my EV charger. Two stars instead of one because Linden was polite in our email exchanges. The quote was as follows: Provide and install dedicated 50 amp circuit for customer provided car charger . Intstall new breaker, wire and all necessary items for nema 1450 plug - Approx 20-30' conduit. $2576 permit $850 total: $3426 -- That quoted price, $3426, is very high. Note that I described some additional work that would fall outside the scope of the Chevy Qmerit terms. If that additional work was supposed to be covered by the $3426 quote, then it still seems high to me. However, the quote didn't say the additional work was included and Linden was too terse via email to explain reasons for the quote being so high. Too bad, looks like the other reviews for Carlsbad Electrical are generally very positive. -- Update 11/1/23: Linden called me specifically regarding my Yelp review. He was clearly frustrated with my low review. He explained that labor and high quality work in California is expensive. This is no doubt true! He did clarify in the call that the $3426 quote was intended to also cover the additional work I had described (poking thru an exterior wall, replacing an existing 1 gang 120 V outlet with a 2 gang). $3426 for the additional work is perhaps reasonable but we didn't go into details. Linden may be very proud of his business and the quality of work but I wouldn't know because the quoting process turned out to be unpleasant. read more

UPDATE June 29, 2023: After reading my initial comments about the price, the owner (Linden) immediately contacted me. He provided some additional details about what drove the cost, and emphasized that customer satisfaction is the top priority of the company. Linden offered to rebate a portion of the price, which I accepted. Based on the owner's actions to address my concern, I have changed my rating accordingly. June 28, 2023. I lost power in one room in my home. Carlsbad Electrical Services answered my call immediately and was able to come later the same day. Josh very quickly diagnosed the source of the problem to be an outlet that he then replaced. Problem solved. The service itself deserved the highest rating. However, the price I was charged for one hour of work was outrageous. It was at least 2X the going rate for an electrician. So buyer beware. Carlsbad Electrical Services provides top notch service no question. But you are likely to pay a significant premium for that service. read more

As a follow-up to an upgrade, performed, one of the master technicians had to come out to double check to make sure everything was in order with my electric charging port. Nearly an hour later of testing and assessment of my overall system, the electrician left and said, "no charge." I am completely blown away. read more

This company is the best for your electrical needs. There is no one else I would recommend. They are all very professional and bring excellent service each time. Their prices are competitive but it's their customer service and prompt response. Ron has been my electrician both times and has been great each time. Ask for Ron. Won't regret it. read more

I had 2 fans installed, vaulted ceilings and 4 outside lights replaced. Linden was great getting me on the schedule right away and Josh did an amazing job with the installation. Very knowledgeable and it all looks great! The pricing was fair for all the work that was done. I will definitely recommend them and will use them again. read more

I have hired Carlsbad Electrical Services twice. The first time I chose them because of good Yelp reviews and because they seemed like a good match for my needs. The second time I chose them because I was so pleased with the work they did. I plan to hire them again after we pick out some lighting fixtures for our bedroom. Let's talk about price first. This is not a low-budget electrical service. Their prices are not bargain-basement. I've hired electricians many times in many cities over the last 45 years, and I've done my own electrical work in cities where codes permit that. I'd rate their prices slightly higher than average across all of my experience, but well worth it. I am happy to pay fair prices for top-quality work, and their work is absolutely top quality. One brief anecdote can illustrate why I want a master electrician and not someone who is just starting out. The first time I hired them, one of the things that I needed was to have an electrical outlet installed on the back wall of a bathroom so that I could install a Toto Washlet toilet, which needs to be plugged in. The electrician from Carlsbad Electrical Services discovered that the wall in which I wanted the outlet installed contained various pipes and older wires, and had to work to find a spot where the outlet could be put and wires run successfully to it inside the wall. He spent about half an hour exploring the inside of the wall and eventually found a location to put the new outlet that would comply with the electrical code but not threaten or damage what was already there. A less experienced electrician would have cut a hole for the outlet, discovered that there was stuff in the way, and then kludged something and maybe not even told me about it. Or maybe put the outlet in a strange place that didn't comply with the electrical code and hope I wouldn't mind. Today's electrician didn't just have experience and skill, he had brains. As we discussed what he did today and why he did it, the logic behind his decisionmaking was quite complex and well informed. And he was very good at communicating all of this to me. He even fixed a mistake that some prior electrician had made in one room (a 15-amp receptacle on a 20-amp circuit). I always like to hire local businesses. But I think that if I moved to Poway or Fallbrook and wanted an electrician, I would still call Carlsbad Electrical Services first (not sure they would take a job that far away). read more

Lyndon and his crew are top notch electricians ( Ron, Joey and Hunter). They replaced our inside electrical panel 5 years ago and now replaced our outside electrical panel. They are very responsive and I have to say they are very good at what they do. Being a local electrician plays a vital role in picking the right one, someone that you can call right away and get assistance. Lyndon is easy to talk to and very knowledgeable about electrical issues. If yelp has 10, I would have given him that. I highly recommend Carlsbad Electric! -Allan read more

Quick re-wire of a garage outlet was done quickly, efficiently and the right way. Next day availability and great service. Thank you!

Woke up to a portion of our house not having any power. The breakers didn't pop and there wasn't any indication of what the cause may have been. I contacted Carlsbad Electrical Services at 830am and they were at my house at 11am (right at the estimated time). Josh was polite and very professional. He listened to what my problem was and went to work right away troubleshooting the issue. He quickly found the faulty outlet that was causing the the issue and replaced it. Honestly, I don't think we ever would have found the faulty outlet in the guestroom that took out the power to our dining room and garage. While here, I asked if he could take a look at a couple more things for me, which he happily did. In all, found and fixed a faulty outlet, rewired the most annoying set of light switches (wired in a way that didn't make sense), and gave me an estimate for another job. Josh was knowledgeable, respectful, and left everything very clean. I will happily contact them again for all future electrical needs. read more

I'm in the middle of a backyard remodel and needed some small things handled and larger advice for future projects. I got immediate response and they even scheduled a Friday afternoon inspection. Work was completed this week to install a outdoor plug and wiring for a electric gate. On time, clean, great communication. The even fixed an additional problem outlet (GFI went out) free of charge. Price was below what I expected to pay. They answered my future questions in a way that saves me money and keeps options open for future. Highly recommend! read more

Of course a circuit switch would go bad...on a Saturday...of one of the hottest days of the year! We called Carlsbad Electric and Linden made room for us in his day to come over to not only fix the problem, but trouble shoot and fix potential problems that would arise in the future. He was professional, friendly, explained everything that needed to be done...and we got our air conditioner back up and running before the real heat of the day kicked in! read more

I had an issue this week with a bad outlet/connection issue, which I had tried to solve on my own to no avail. A friend of mine referred me to Carlsbad Electrical Services as he had used them in past and was happy with their work. Linden responded super quick to my inquiry on a Sunday and Monday Josh was able to come out and diagnose/fix the problem. So happy with the service provided by Carlsbad Electric and Josh was a super cool and professional guy. Wouldn't hesitate to use them for all my future electrical needs and would certainly refer them to anyone needing quality electrical work. read more

Needed to change out my main electrical circuit panel. I read great reviews on Yelp for Carlsbad Electrical and requested a estimate/quote. They responded efficiently and provided a reasonable quote.

These guys charged me $250 for a part that cost $40. when I confronted them and showed numerous places that sold the part for $30-$55, he laughed at me and hung up the phone. They were at my house a total of 15 minutes to install a $40 part and charged me $500. Young guy that's really unprofessional. read more

Highly recommended. Very professional and efficient. Linden responded promptly and communicated via text message regarding details of the appointment. He arrived early and did an amazing job troubleshooting my electrical issues. I had several GFCI's that were out and a bad outlet, all needed replacement. I can replace GFCI's and outlets myself, but these circuits were pretty tricky to figure out. Linden solved the puzzle and had us up and running again in no time. The next time I need an electrician I am definitely calling these guys for service! read more

Great company; gave me a quote, electricians came on time, completed the job quickly and charged me the quoted price. They found a few other things that they suggested I fix proactively, which I did. On another occasion I had an emergency and they showed up quickly and took care of the issue. Would highly recommend them. read more
