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!

Our garage light was flickering so badly it resembled a seizure trigger. I didn't know who to call,…read moreso I searched Yelp and found Ian Marsh of South Bay Electric. There were a series of excellent reviews. I sent hima a message and he got back to me right away. When we spoke, Ian himself walked me through the troubleshooting over the phone. He suggested it could be a bad bulb connection (take it out and clean the contacts) or an issue with the wall switch. Sure enough, it turned out to be our dimmer switch -- it just couldn't hold the charge properly and was causing the constant flickering. What really stands out is that Ian could have easily scheduled a service call and charged me a couple hundred bucks to come out. Instead, he gave me the exact fix for free and saved me the hassle and expense. In a world where so many companies push for paid visits, this level of honesty and helpfulness is rare and genuinely appreciated. While it cost me nothing, it cost him his time.I As a result, I promised Ian I'd write a glowing review, and here it is. If you're in the South Bay and need an electrician you can actually trust, call Ian Marsh South Bay Electric. Highly recommend! Rick

As a BOD member for the HOA, I had previous experience with Mario Castillo electric when we needed to do an upgrade to the electrcial panel at our home where they did an exceptional job. This time I was working with their commercial division and the excellence of service was no different. The communication, responsiveness and quality of work was excellent. There was one minor issue after hours and they had a service technician onsite within an hour. They worked very well coordinating with the individual tenants in each unit to gain access when needed. Their quote for this project was also competitive, and job was brought in on budget with no extra "surprises". I highly recommend this company for your electrical needs, big or small. Our HOA has picked Mario Castillo as the electrical vendor of choice for any work needed and we are looking into an ongoing maintenance contract with them as well.

Pricing is quite high compared to other quotes I received but very transparent and worth it. Took one star because of poor communication and lateness. They advertise working Saturdays and do some of the crews but according to their office, that is all a mistake and they only work M-F 9-4. That plus the crews showing up 2.5h late each time meant that I had to take more time off than anticipated for them to complete the work. But now I know and I will absolutely use them again.

Our house is a mid century modern build from the fifties, so there were bespoke needs around routing everything in a smart, efficient way. Nexx were great partners in assessing what was possible and what was not. They gave us several options per pathway and did the work in a way that matched the aesthetics and blended with the existing materials. Lots of attention to detail, lots of great questions, and real problem solving along the way. They also went beyond the job. They helped us find other contractors where we needed them, and when a separate electrical problem came up, they showed up on thirty minutes notice to get it sorted before the weekend. Top marks on customer service and emergency response. Honest, straightforward, and easy to work with. Emilio, Oscar, Alex and crew were awesome. Would definitely hire them again.

Not only was their quote HALF of what this larger company gave us....they were consistently professional, on time, and they did EXCEPTIONAL work! Our system before was so inefficient, and Red Apple was the first company to actually diagnose all the problems, give us a WORKING solution, and actually do an incredible job without disrupting our business. Our heating costs have gone down almost 65% since our new installation and our students are LOVING how hot it is. The customer service is really terrific! We have recently worked with Martin to repair a smaller AC unit in our business and he provided EXCEPTIONAL service all around!

So when my Daikin ceiling cassette stopped communicating with the wall controller I called them to come take a look. The technician who came was polite, but he damaged the ceiling around the unit while trying to look at it (see photos) and couldn't diagnose the issue. He thought it might be a broken circuit but wasn't confident about that. He did identify that whoever installed the unit before I bought the house had improperly cut through the framing in the attic/ceiling and the ceiling was not properly supported! I appreciate him letting me know and had a contractor friend come out the next day to repair it. However, when I called Red Apple Air to schedule a return visit, they ghosted me. I called twice and was told they would call me back to schedule return and never heard from them. They only up side is that they never charged me for the first visit which I appreciate since I had to pay to repair the ceiling damage. I eventually found out the issue was the condensation line not draining properly and triggering the emergency shut off (not a damaged circuit board). I wouldn't recommend this company for troubleshooting but they're probably fine if you just want regular maintenance on your unit.
