Exceptional knowledge from front office to electrician, quick timely service, affordable pricing. In our rental property in Carefree San Carlos we were having issues with 1 outlet handling the dishwasher and the garbage disposal. We weren't sure if we needed an additional dedicated circuit in our breaker or just an extra dedicated outlet. The front desk representative already had two possibilities and recommendations in mind. She sent out the electrician and thankfully it was just another outlet. That was $200 versus $1,000+ They called, told us the price, and sent the invoice the next day. Super quick, super accurate, great team and company. Highly recommend. read more

One of the best companies I have EVER worked with. Tom is very present and in charge of top notch electricians and Anna is amazing... The service is organized, reliable and thorough. The electricians who came to my job were very respectful of my needs and my home which is important to me as a senior citizen. It is such a pleasure to find a company you can completely rely on. I would give them more than 5 stars if that was an option. read more

Excellent Company! I want to say Anna you are the best from Scheduling and having the Electrical Box moved and permitted in one of our condos. It is such a breath of fresh air to have this type of excellent customer service. Highly Recommend this company. read more

Chris arrived on time and was very courteous. He immediately ascertained the problem and fixed it. There was no up-selling or pressure to do more than was necessary. We have used Kennedy Electric over the years and feel they value integrity. We would definitely recommend them. read more

I called Kennedy electric looking to see if Charles could come to my area (Charles was my electrician from his previous company) and luckily Tom the owner picked up. Tom was very cordial and patient with me spending 15 mins on the phone with me as I discussed my issues and he calmed me down and walked me through what I should do- walk around checking smaller appliances 110/120 volts see if they still work. The 240 volts appliances would be fine... I really appreciated him for his time and honesty despite not knowing if Charles could be sent to my area that's normally out of their range. Thank you Tom! Hoping to work with you guys in the future (if you're willing to come to my area!) read more

Yet another great job that I had done this morning. The service tech was on time, polite, knew just what he was doing. He managed to figure out why the breaker at the meter was tripping, SDG&E failed to do this. So far, so good, I have constant power to my home. These guys rock! Ooohh, and a big shout out to Anna, thank you read more

Arrived on time as scheduled. Both electricians were knowledgeable, respectful of property, and did an excellent job of replacing 7 light fixtures. Very competitive pricing. Couldn't improve or ask for better service! Will be using this company exclusively for any future electrical needs. read more

Mike arrived on time and ready to go. We had and 'open ground' which isn't a big problem until somebody gets shocked. He was stumped for a bit, but he's a persistent guy and kept after it. After a trip up to the attic, he found some poor work done by another 'electrician' years ago. He repaired everything and firmed up a loose outlet for us. It's so satisfying to find a company that does the job right and doesn't overcharge. Do not hesitate to hire Kennedy Electric for you next electrical project/problem. read more

I have had a lot of problems in the past with electricians, especially on the issue of pricing. I called Kennedy Electric after conducting research on Yelp to hang a new chandelier in my dining room. The woman on the phone was very helpful and efficient, and within a few days a man came to the house and hung the chandelier perfectly. I had some issues with insufficient chain for the suspension from the ceiling, but the installer worked it out and the chandelier is at the exact height I wanted above my table. A few months later, I needed a new front porch lantern installed which had some issues with the back plate and the narrowness of the available mounting space, but again, the installer was able to work out the details to my satisfaction. He also came inside and moved a light switch and mounted lighting sconce a foot to the right of their original positions to allow for a new closet to be installed, and everything was performed with efficiency and care. And to top it all off, the pricing for the work is fair and reasonable. I highly recommend Kennedy Electric. read more

Best electrician in town. Very professionally run family business. Honest, punctual, thorough and reasonably priced. Would not use anyone else. Thank you Tom and Anna!!!! read more

Good work, good scheduling, no hassle. Honest no problems with work or repairs , quick to finish job and easy to understand

I had to get liability insurance for a rental property that had its current insurance cancelled. Tried well over a dozen insurance agencies with no results. Frustration was unbelievable - I didn't even get call backs from most. Apparently my situation was just too difficult - that is until I called Kennedy Insurance. Elizabeth came through with a great policy and had it in force quickly. I can recommend this company without hesitation. read more

Kennedy Electric is always reliable, professional, and offers a very fair price. They have helped me many times with a variety of issues, including figuring out how to fix some strange wiring that the previous owners of my home did themselves. I always appreciate their work, and will always call them any time I have a problem. Highly, highly recommend!! read more

Kennedy Electric worked wonders on a 1970's condo that had some petrifying outdated electrical. From the floor to the ceiling, it is so much safer now - thank you! They also recently helped me with a larger project, a more complicated bid and they took the time to really explain a few options and gave me additional recommendations involving SDG&E. Thank you again! read more

It is not surprising to me that Anna is not truthful about this situation. First of all, the wall switches were removed and replaced 7 years ago when I had the house remodeled, a subpanel installed, and the main panel upgraded. If this wall switch or any other wall switch looked this bad, you can bet that I would not have overlooked it. The tech's claim that it was originally installed incorrectly is just not true. It appears that the tech has a problem with the truth. Anna claims that "the tech thought he was working with Yung K all along." When he called to let me know that he was on his way for the very first appointment, I explained to him that I had a work emergency but I made arrangements for someone to be present at my residence. Also, while he was there, the original ceiling box had to be swapped out and he asked my friend to contact me for approval to pay the $37.37 (a 800% to 2000% markup from Home Depot, btw), for a ceiling fan box enclosure. So saying he thought he was "working with Yung K" is another lie on his part. In regards to the follow-up appointment, the tech apparently told Anna that he contacted me to let me know he was running late at 4:30pm. This was another flat out lie and I took a snapshot of my call log and emailed it back to Anna showing her that he called me at 4:58pm, 2 minutes before the window was up. Anna even thanked me for bringing this to her attention and that she was "absolutely misinformed by my tech and that will be dealt with." No apologies were offered. Only then after that email did she offer to send the owner or another technician to come out again. I waited after the initial install to post this review. I do understand that companies do not have control over their employees, and in this case, Gustavo's "workmanship" or lies. However, what they do have control over is how an unhappy customer's concerns are handled. In this case, it went from charging an additional $170 to swap out 1 wall switch, to suggesting caulk be generously applied to give it a flushed look, to suggesting that I "had no idea that the box was installed incorrectly" (because my lack of expertise can not distinguish when a switch is sticking out of the wall and not flushed), and finally to a follow-up appointment that wasted more of my time which I offered up for an amicable resolution. Should I give Kennedy Electric yet another chance to come out again after two failed appointments? I probably would have had Anna been a little more apologetic and a lot less accusatory and defensive. You can see it in her Yelp response. The bottom line for you Yelpers out there is that you can roll the dice with Kennedy Electric and hope you get a good end product. But if you are unhappy or if there are questionable workmanship issues, things you can expect are additional costs and a defensive and unapologetic response. There are way too many other better options out there than to take your chances with this company. Also FYI, I called Zapp Electric, Ideal Electric, Point Loma Electric, and Alvarado Electric to ask how much replacing one existing wall fiber box to accommodate a new switch would cost. The price quotes I received ranged from $60-$90. Kennedy Electric quoted $170 for the exact same work. I have emails to back up all my exchanges with Anna in regards to how this unpleasant situation transpired. It has been an unfortunate waste of my time dealing with Kennedy Electric and I hope I can save others from this grief. read more

I had a relatively minor in an investment property. My regular electrician was booked for a couple weeks. Called Kennedy, set the appointment, they were there when they said, and did the work for what they estimated. I wish all contractors were this easy to work with. read more

My property management sent Kennedy Electric out for a second opinion and thankfully they did. Their electrician, Mike did a great job figuring out a complicated issue on a very old building. I'm really happy and relieved he took the time to correct the issue. Anna was great with communicating with me on the status's as well. Awesome job and great company. read more

Very professional, fast, and affordable. After being quoted ridiculous prices for a simple change out of a ceiling fan I called Kennedy Electric and could not be more pleased with the result. The electrician was very polite and did great work. Will definitely use again! read more

Yup, they completed the job and charged us exactly for the amount of time they were at my father's property. This company is very fair, and professional!! From now on, I am definitely going to hire Kennedy Electric for our electrical needs! read more

I have worked with Anna from Kennedy Electric for years in the multi family industry. I can always count on a fast response time, follow up and incredible customer service. Whether the scope of work is small or large the attention to detail is top notch!!! Love the light inspections at night so very helpful in this industry. Would highly recommend for all your electrician needs. read more

Called Kennedy Electric and left a message I needed an electrician along with my phone number. I waited most of the day for a call back but NEVER EVER got a call from them. I guess they don't want customers?? Anyway, called another company and got perfect next day service. read more

We needed some electrical work done. They were super helpful in getting the best prices and helped us do some of the repairs ourself.

I hired Kennedy Electric when I received a coupon in the mail. The lady who made my appointment was kind and courteous. I got an appointment the next day. Gus came over to remove a ceiling fan and hang a new light fixture. He was professional and efficient. He helped me figure out how long the chain should be and gave me a piece of chain he had in his truck. Upon completion of the job, he asked if there was anything else. I asked him to help me remove a bulb that I couldn't get out. He removed the bulb and tightened the base for me. Price for the small job was well below what I would have expected. Glad I went with Kennedy Electric and would use them for future projects in the future. read more

Amazing Company, Really dependable, affordable and super nice and friendly, Anna IS AMAZING TIMES 10. Always follows up with project and service calls and keeps you posted with project updates. This company is a must if you ever need an electrician. We used them in all our properties whenever there is need. read more

I emailed a request for services over the weekend and received an almost immediate response. However, when I replied no one contacted me back. I have since sent two additional emails with no response. This company came highly recommended by a friend but I have had a difficult time getting in touch with anyone. It has since been two business days. read more

I was referred to Kennedy Electric through my home warranty company. They had previously assigned another company to my claim and after close to a month of them not contacting me to setup an appointment my warranty company assigned my claim to Kennedy Electric. Kennedy Electric called me that SAME day to setup an appointment and they offered to come out the next day. AWESOME!!! Anna is very was very polite. The tech that came out I believe was MIKE... and he went above and beyond expectations. My appointment window was between 3-5 pm and he was there by 3. Thats always a plus. Its annoying when they give you a window period and dont get there 5 minutes close to the end of the window period. And it beats those 4-5 hour window periods. Anyhow, back to Mike..... He provided information that was extremly helpful and was definetly knowledable about his line of work. He did some troublshooting, he completed some repairs in my electrical wiring and replaced some outlet covers etc. I would definetly look at doing business with Kennedy Electric in the future. I wish my home warranty company would had assigned them to me in the first place, but either way I'm glad Kennedy was able to come out and take care of the issues for me. I appreciat their services a lot more since the first company flaked an d left me hanging. read more

I was recently battling rats in my attic, and I was afraid the little rascals had done some damage to wiring above one of the rooms. After getting the rodent problem under control (thanks, Total Control Pest Management!), I had Kennedy Electric come out to take a look at things. The phone conversation I had setting up the inspection was a textbook example of stellar customer service. So friendly and knowledgeable! I had a good feeling about Kennedy from the get-go. The electrician who did the inspection, Mike, was a total pro. Not only did he arrive a little early, but he got right to work, checked everything out, and gave me a clear explanation of what he saw. Thankfully, the rats hadn't done chewing as I had suspected, and Mike did a couple precautionary things for me to make sure we were safe in the future. He was very honest and didn't try to upsell me on anything. I'm definitely going to keep Kennedy in mind for any future electrical work I need done in my home. I was genuinely impressed with the experience I had and will certainly be recommending them to friends and family. read more

The apartments I live in had this company work on our electric. The man they sent to change the lights around our building was having a personally phone call/conversation on a latter feet from my open window. I had to leave my zoom call (I go to college on line due to COVID) because this man during his phone called decided to use words like, "retard" and made comments about the residents in the building he was servicing... he then proceeded to tell me, after I enquired about the company he worked for, "you should have told me to shut up," as if it was my job to tell a grown ass ma. How to conduct himself at work... this incident happened on the day this review was made. read more

Kennedy Electric is the best electric service out there. I use them every time I have an electrical problem and they get the job done. They have cheap prices and the nicest employees. I talked to Anna on the phone and she was very kind. They got me in the next day!!! That's better than any other company I've used. They sent out Gustavo and he was also very kind and got the job done very quickly. Do not listen to the one star people(Which there's only one of) because there just dirtbags. This is the best electrical place around!!!!!!! read more

AMAZING. Mike identified why almost all lights and outlets went out (burned circuit breaker) within 2 minutes of walking in the door. Then rewired/fixed both fans in bathrooms so fans worked on one switch and lights on another. (I had installed a light and fan to replace a sun lamp) Lights and fan in main bath have not worked for a year- reason... the wire was loose/not connected at the light switch. Checked out both fans in bedrooms and said not wired to light switch. Identified 2 large 30 amp breakers connected to nothing (1 for washer / dryer outlet never used and another for jacuzzi never installed). Total cost $109. read more

Called twice, left messages and was totally ignored. I guess they don't need business.

What a rip-off! They charged over $400 to install a ceiling fan and an outlet. They were here for 2 hours (why it took even that long is another mystery since there were THREE guys here working) and 6 mins. but charged for full 3 hours. When I called them to inquire about the charges, they were flippant and uncooperative. And when I asked why a very similar job the year before cost under $200, I was told that I "got a real good deal." Seriously?? Never again! Buh-bye... read more

Today was the third time I have had Kennedy Electric do work at my home. As always, excellent work, customer service and fair pricing. The first time was to replace the out of code breaker box on my home and add space for central air hookup. Excellent job! Second time was to trouble shoot outdoor lighting issue and give estimate on installing some additional outdoor lights for some dark areas of the yard. Again, excellent job and fair pricing on the estimate. Today was to find out what made an outlet spark and trip the circuit breaker when I plugged in an appliance. This happened on a Sunday and I called and left a message. Anna called me Monday morning and Mike was here by 1:15 Monday afternoon. Once again, excellent work and fair price. So glad I found Kennedy Electric on Yelp and will always call them for any electrical needs. read more

On time, professional, competent, efficient, and reasonable. Can't ask for more than that! I had a couple of relatively small jobs that needed an electrician. All done in about an hour. read more

Excellent experience. Task: Remove and rewire 240VAC pool timer junction box and clean up some "dubious" 40 year old wiring associated with the old pool timer. Got great price on replacement 20 AMP breakers (already on the truck!). In and out in one hour after showing up exactly at promised time. Nothing negative (no pun intended). All positive, including Anna who took the phone order as well as Mike, the electrician, who could not have been nicer, neat and professional (and quick!). Cost: Total bill including material (20 AMP breaker) was less than other quotes just to show up. My bill represented exactly what Anna quoted for labor. Received one quote from another electrician who want $40 more than my bill just to show up. Who knows how much longer they would have taken and how much they would have charged for the breaker (and would they have had on truck?). Look no further. Go with Kennedy. (La Mesa and surrounding area). I definitely would use them again. read more

Kennedy Electric was referred to me by a friend who has had a lot of work done by them and highly recommended them (so this should count as 2 reviews!). I had Kennedy Electric come out to put in a new junction box in our kitchen ceiling. On my initial call with them, I was still weighing several different lighting options; they spent at least 15 minutes on the phone with me discussing the advantages and disadvantages of what I was considering. This was all free consulting, as I made it clear I would be installing the light fixtures myself. They were very informative and answered all my questions and then some, and I was extremely grateful for their advice. When they actually came out to do the work, the electrician arrived promptly (in the first ~20 minutes of the 2h window they had given me), was extremely pleasant, and completed the job so quickly/efficiently that the charge was actually less than the estimate. How often does that happen?! My experience was terrific and I would highly recommend Kennedy Electric to anyone who needs electrical work done. read more

I had a whole lot of work that needed to be done on my new downtown condo. Previous owner had run cables of every description (except the one I need - Ethernet) through walls, through metal casings, under ceramic tile, and much more. Mike came out and cleaned up all of that, including burying a coax cable in the wall (Cox could only find 2 of 4 working coax cables after this schmuck was done playing around with his wires). He also added an outlet over the mantle behind the TV and a box for my Ethernet run. His work and attitude were just outstanding and professional to the max. When I asked him about a track bullet the owner promised to get working and didn't, Mike just pushed the bulb in tighter and didn't even give me as much as a smirk for not trying it myself. I would not hesitate to use them again, so long as Mike was the tech on the job. read more

I received a recommendation from a property manager that this was the company to go with for any electrical work that was needed. We had just purchased a new rental and needed some small electrical issues taken care of quickly. Anna was great at scheduling a tech to come out in a very short amount of time. Mike showed up and was fast efficient and friendly. It was a pleasure working with this company and I highly recommend them. I know we will be using them for all our electrical needs in the future. read more

Great customer service... Older home, my kids started up the air-conditioning unit which blew the circuit. They came on time and fixed my issue. I have used them a variety of times for bigger and smaller issues and have always received great service. read more

I was so pleased with the service I received from Kennedy Electric! I called today and requested someone come fix a shorted out electrical outlet. Anna was so pleasant and was able to help me diagnose the problem and fix it! What a pleasure to have HONEST businesses! I will use Kennedy Electric if I need assistance in the future. read more
