When it comes to electrical issues in our house, it was important for us to know that the job is…read morewell done and that we could rest easy after the work was done. Our experience with George of Preferred Electric was great. He was honest, stands by his work, and took the time to explain/ show us everything he knew we needed to take care of. George's quote for the work wasn't the cheapest, but it was fair. And quality matters. We definitely are at ease knowing George took care of the re-wiring of the high risk circuit we had.

Hear me out. It's worth it…read more Had a panel issue. Wasn't clear what it was, but I wanted a real pro. So I sorted by highest rated electricians. The highest rated electrician on the East side of LA? I got curious because it read like they might be a consolidator, meaning they farm out work and take a commission, which makes their ratings pointless. Lo and behold I looked it up - and they're operating on a suspended contractor's license. Which is obviously very bad. So I pinged a handful of others closest to me. The fairest price for a visit/diagnosis was Preferred Electric. But wait, so few ratings, how can I trust them? Looked up their license. In good standing, current and active for 35 years? So why not, I rolled the dice. George was not only on time but early. Friendly. Nice. And most important, diagnosed the issue on the spot, had the parts in his truck, and charged a genuinely fair price. Summary: The highest-rated electrician on Yelp is a scammer. And seriously professional guys like George, who only got around to Yelp recently (and so have few reviews) look like amateurs. When the reverse is definitely true in this case. If you've read this far? Hire Preferred with confidence. George will do you right.

It comes as no surprise to me that virtually all of Rafi's reviews are five stars. He has the two…read morequalities which are most important in connection with a service provider. For me the most important quality is the fact that he is honest. He doesn't perform work that does not need to be done. I get the sense more and more these days that services are being performed by mechanics and sadly even my doctors that really are not required. I never have this fear with Rafi. The second quality which is important but for me not nearly as important as the first is the fact that Rafi's prices are reasonable. Most recently, our garage refrigerator died when we were out of town and we returned to a disaster. We wanted to get a new refrigerator as soon as possible but it was clear that the way the refrigerator plug was jerry-rigged that it really needed professional attention. My wife called Rafi, explained the situation, and he came out that afternoon to install a new socket box. We had two other issues for him to address at a later date with respect to two of our ceiling fans. With respect to one of the ceiling fans which is making lots of noise Rafi simply showed us how it could be adjusted so that the fan would not make noise. With respect to the second fan which was wobbling he explained that to repair it would not be cost-effective but he could do a minor fix which he did so that at a lower speed the fan would not wobble that much. If we could live with that we would be fine. I think there are some electricians who would've replaced both fans. Not Rafi. I cannot say enough good things about him and the services he has provided for us over the years. I know this sounds like a paid commercial announcement but Rafi does not even know I am doing this review. And after all the years I have been on yelp I have only done two previous reviews. One for an upholsterer and one for a shredder, both of whom did excellent work. So, my praise is not easy to come by.

Rafi, the owner of Anavar Electric, is a treasure. He is incredibly knowledgeable, honest,…read moreprofessional, and a godsend in so many ways. He walked through and did an inspection of my house, identified issues that another electrician had completely overlooked, and did the necessary work at an extremely reasonable price. One in a million. Highly recommend!

They were all business, in and out, very efficient. Not very personable, but they did communicate their efforts without running into any difficulties. Definitely Experienced electricians.

Most recently, I needed a last-minute balloon and flower setup for my partner's birthday, and they came through same day and even hand-delivered it to me.

My honey and I came in to purchase a boutonniere for his 50th birthday celebration. From the moment we walked in, the energy felt off. I immediately noticed there was no clear explanation of the process -- I had to ask questions just to understand how things worked. Despite that, I gave very clear and specific instructions: a red rose, wrapped with black trim, gold-sprayed leaves, and baby's breath. On the day of pickup, I called to confirm the order was ready and was met with rudeness over the phone. When I arrived and saw the boutonniere, I was completely disappointed -- there was no baby's breath. When I asked about it, I was told, "Oh, I didn't put it. I thought what I added looked more elegant." Imagine paying for something and having someone change your order based on their personal preference. That is unacceptable. I had to firmly express my concerns and insist that it be corrected to match what we originally discussed and ordered. While I waited for it to be fixed, it was frustrating to say the least. Instead of baby's breath, she added small yellow flowers that would have completely clashed with his suit and the color theme of his party. Thank goodness this was not our wedding day -- the outcome could have been an absolute disaster. I'm sharing this so others are aware: double-check your order before leaving. Unfortunately, I will not be returning and cannot recommend this business.
