I fully recommend Excel! Johnny diagnosed the problem and fixed it thoroughly. He was focused, courteous and professional. A positive experience all around! read more

Excel is always great and does exactly what is promised and does not over charge They always come quickly read more

Tom K. quoted me a price estimate by the hour; he said that's how he does business and that he never quotes estimates by the number of items to repair. Well, he did the exact opposite when it came time to give me the bill for services performed. He ended up charging me $90 (about 30%) more than his initial estimate. I tried to reason with him but to no avail. Needless to say, I definitely don't recommend this company. read more

Excel Electric to the rescue again! I've used this company for over 20 years, at 2 different houses. Everything from a large scale custom lighting installation to replacing ceiling fans. Prompt service, and if an issue needs to be addressed the owner is right on it. They did me a HUGE favor by scheduling a very specific appointment time for me. Thanks so much. read more

Tom and Omar were awesome! We had a bad breaker in our garage and Tom was quick to send Omar out to us and very flexible when we had to change dates last minute because we wanted to try some troubleshooting on our first. Competitive pricing, will definitely use again in the future! read more

Josh worked on various electrical issues we had on our outdoor grill and surrounding outlets. He is the third electrician to work on these problems but the first to actually solve what was causing the problems. In just over one hour he was able to troubleshoot, suggest solutions and fix the problems. And he actually showed up on time, a rare thing for electricians. JPS Electrical scheduled 2 appointments and didn't show up for either one. Excel is my new electrician. read more

Omar was fantastic! I called this morning for a repair, and before noon all of the electrical mysteries in my home were solved! Excel Electric will be my go-to from now on. Thank you so much! read more

I've used Excel Electric for the past seven years on various projects and they do always do an amazing job. Quick, efficient, clean with fair pricing. Highly recommend them if you need any electrical work completed. read more

Excel works with tenant occupied homes and I rate their service, communication, and billing 5 stars! I'm thrilled to add a well-qualified electrician to help me service all my future tenant needs. Issue: We were perplexed with a non-working outlet for a dishwasher. I explained the issue over the phone and they asked the right questions and immediately guessed that they knew the probable fix. They were able to send someone out within a few hours. Owner billing and charges were upfront and came in as expected. I thought the service fee was appropriate for diagnosis and a quick fix. I appreciated their follow-up and communication through to the end. They accept both credit cards for a fee or check by mail. I highly recommend Excel Electric! read more

Tyler came out to today to replace some switches and did a fantastic job! He was on time, efficient, knowledgeable and has a wonderful disposition. We appreciated his can do attitude. We have used Excel in the past and will continue to do so. read more

Tyler showed up on time. He replaced my porch light pretty quickly. He said, that was pretty fast what else can I do for you? Being a senior citizen, there are always something we need help with. So Tyler proceeded to add an outlet for me in my hallway so I can hear my stereo in other parts of the house. I cannot say enough how nice and sweet Tyler was. This Company I found in the *yellow pages*, yes you read that right! Thank you Excel Electric, Tom & Tyler for helping this lady out. My daughter says Thank you also!! read more

I highly recommend excel electric, I have used them 3 times dating back to 2018. Tom is great to work with. He is very knowledgeable, punctual and fair. They did all of the wiring for our spa, breaker for our AC and installed an electrical outlet in our bathroom. read more

They scheduled service quickly, were upfront about all possible costs, were reasonably priced and very efficient with their work. I will definitely use them for any future needs. read more

I'm late in writing this review. A friend of mine just asked me if I could recommend a good electrician, I told him we used a decent company last October for an emergency repair & we were happy with their service, but I couldn't for the life of me remember who it was! Anyway, long story short, I did find out that it was Excel Electric that we used & they did a good job at a reasonable price. We had a GFCI go out on us & (as it turned out) a breaker, Excel came out promptly & explained the issue (Having an Air Fryer/Toaster oven & Microwave going at the same time on the same circuit was not a good idea). So they replaced the GFCI, reset the dodgy breaker (I will get it replaced) & gave me a quote to have our pretty old breaker box upgraded. Overall a good experience with a decent, knowledgeable company, I will certainly use them again. read more

I needed to solve a problem with a light switch that was getting really hot for my tenants. I had no time to waste. What did I do? Turned to trusty Yelp. I found this gem of a company - family-owned no less! Tom actually answered the phone! He was so nice and listened to the problem, was friendly, patient and ended our conversation with the words, "We can come out today!" and "Piece of cake!" You have no idea of my relief as I hung up. Excel Electric has been in business for 36 years and has a handful of vetted and trusted electricians on the case. True to his words, Tom's people connected with my tenants, fixed the problem and it was problem solved - right away. I will be keeping this company in Contacts to call again if/when I need it. Wish they were here where I live! read more

Tom and his crew are fabulous. Johnny from Excel has been out for multiple ceiling fan installs and a bathroom fan/light combo. Every job has been smooth on their part. Tom gives me a clear price when I call to book the job. He texts to check-in and negotiated a discount when I had to have a pair of fans removed (I had purchased fans with remotes that interfered with each other). Johnny has communicated when there will be drywall cuts and most of them were made with as minor a cut as possible, saving patch costs. Since my husband has passed away, I have had several workmen to the house to repair different things. Some were good, some mediocre, none have compared with Excel. Thanks for a quality job and excellent service! read more

Tom, the owner of Excel Electric, is super efficient and nice to deal with. Excel has always responded very quickly to our calls and have made great money-saving suggestions. I have worked with Matt, Brian and Patrick on various projects. All 3 of them were efficient, competent and polite and always quick to provide reasonable alternative suggestions. Excel's rates are very competitive and I've noticed a lot of the residents in our community also use their services. It is not surprising that Excel vans circulate in our HOA on an ever-increasing basis! The company provides reasonable, competent and competitive services! read more

Installed my Tesla home charger. Explained everything and helped me understand the process while also helping me sort out my breaker box.

I needed some small things done. I saw their van next door, gave them a call, John came out and sorted everything. Some of it was dead light bulbs in a 20 foot ceiling, some of it trouble shooting and upgrading gfi outlets. All was handled professionally and cheerfully at a reasonable price. I wish Yelp had recommended them in the first place but luckily they paint their trucks! read more

These guys are above excellent! Josh and Johnny exceeded expectations when they expertly fixed my home electric system which was a mess. They were able not only to diagnose the problems quickly but they were also able to fix them in a very fast manner. The pricing is definitely reasonable considering the high level of service that they provide. My only wish is that I had found them years ago. Can not say enough good things about these guys. You can try other electricians, but if/ when things don't get fixed, you can always count on Excel to fix your problem. (No I don't work for them, no I'm not related to them; I've had 2 other electrician companies out to fix my wiring, and got hosed each time, thus I'm super happy with Excel) :) read more

I needed a Level 2 Charger installed in my Garage. The company owner gave me all the info I needed. He was knowledgeable and priced the job over the phone. His Electrician arrived on time and did a wonderful job. This was a little tricky to get the conduit over to the charger location. Johnny was an artist in the way he bent the conduit and laid out the path to the charger location. I was really impressed with the service and quality of the work. I will definitely keep this company as a resource for future projects. read more

Tom called me within 10 minutes of me putting in my yelp inquiry. I thought I had a damaged ceiling outlet in my garage which my garage door plugs into. I described my problem and instead of sending people out he gave me instructions on how to fix the issue. The instructions he gave me worked and no one had to come out. He saved me a lot of money and was happy to do so. This experience definitely made me want to come back to Excel Electric in the future due to the great customer service. Even though I didn't need to pay anything this time, the next time an electrical problem does arise and I do need to pay, I'm calling Tom at Excel Electric. read more

Excel Electric - Insane Restoration chandelier that weighed a ton and had to be reinforced in my attic and assembled. - Electricians Near Me - San Juan Capistrano, California

I called Excel because I have an air conditioner breaker that keeps tripping. He said they could come out and check the breaker but he recommended that I have an air conditioning expert check out the air conditioner first. Most companies would have sent someone out and collected their fee and then had me call an air conditioner expert. I really appreciate the honesty and will call them in the future with any electrical problems. read more

We're VERY happy with the work Excel Electric did for us. Tom responded by phone within minutes of my request for a quote to install a ceiling fan. The quote was reasonable, within the other quotes I'd received. He sent their crew over within the hour. The guys arrived and got to work. They were neat and prepared the work area with proper plastic as they needed to drill and cut out a hole for the new fan and then thread through new wiring to the light switch. They made very few cut outs and put the pieces back in for the finishing touches (to be done later not, included). All was Professionally done and very friendly. Thank you, guys!! I'll be calling you again for any other lighting I need. Great work! read more

I have used Excel Electric for my last few jobs. Tom was very fast to respond and set me up with Matt, Brian and Patrick. All of them were very polite and made sensible suggestions. I will always use Excel and I've noticed an ever-increasing number of their vans in our HOA community, Mission Point. They deserve the business. Their rates are very reasonable and competitive! read more

Great job. Needed an outlet installed. Fast, same day response, professionally done, great price. I trusted the five star reviews and Excel Electric delivered!! read more

So I spoke to Tom the day before and he agreed to a job and cost, sent Brian Maag out to install a box and put in the ceiling fan. He did a fantastic job and I highly recommend the team! Brian really made it look nice and was able to easily rim wires inside the beam rather than outside and suggested it would look better and it looks great! Thanks for the fast and excellent service! I will definitely call again for any electrical needs in the future. read more

Excel Electric - Nice job Brian Maag! We really appreciate how great it turned out! Have a great week! - Electricians Near Me - San Juan Capistrano, California

I am very grateful to Tom and the guys at Excel Electric. I had a fairly large Panel Replacement job and Tom was there to steer the ship in the right direction and deal with all the complexities of the installation and permit process. Tom went to great lengths in working with our Electric Company and keep everything moving forward. The guys were always on time and even stayed late on the power transfer day so we would have everything working that night. On a final note, I would like to share a picture of our "Fainting Goat" suzy for Brian. read more

I am a new home owner in San Juan and am so happy I found this company! They have a great reputation and are very trusted by many locals. They did a great job upgrading my older 1950's electrical system and did not leave a spec of dust after they were finished! read more

We've used Excel Electric three or four times in the past five years. I'm way behind on giving them the praise they deserve. The first time, they installed nine light fixtures for us, and we felt so comfortable having them in the house and handling all the newly purchased goods. The did a great job, and we appreciated the white glove service they gave us. They've also come out when a circuit blew out and fixed that, and then came again when we had a similar problem in another area. We have an old house with crazy wiring. It takes a lot of time and effort to locate which circuits go to which outlets. They are fantastic AND patient! read more

Excel Electric saved the day!!! Had to install new outdoor and indoor Gfi units and additional circuit line. They also properly identified a wire problem that was fixed without any kitchen demo. Like surgeons they replaced the wire which solved our outside outlet issues. I will highly recommend Excel Electric to everyone and utilize their services in the future. read more

we have hired this company 10-15 times. amazing work every time. Tyler came the most recent time and he was top notch. He came up with creative approach to fix our broken light fixture in the front of the house. will hire again. -Robbie G read more

Total satisfaction! We had a quick turn-a-round job, we were installing A/C and had an old Pacific fuse board that we wanted to replace. After to talking it through with Tom at Excel Electric we put a new sub-panel in, which meant we did not have to wait for permits which could have taken a couple of months and also saved us money. Their crew was great! They were tidy, informative and the installation looks really sharp. I have experience as an electrician in England but did not want to take on this project not knowing the requirements that the city would impose. Totally satisfied! read more
