Tony was fast, friendly and professional. He got me an appointment in 24 hours after my call, diagnosed and fixed my complicated issue quickly. He also quoted me for a larger issue that I'll have to deal with in a few years. I'll definitely be using Lightening Electric again and recommend him to others. read more

On a service call the huge LighteningElectric van blocked the neighbors parking and driveway access and after being alerted, it took them a while to move it despite there being ample open street parking. read more

Tony and his team are top notch! As a GC, I carefully vet subcontractors based on quality of work, effective communication, clear pricing, and ability to partner with us to meet homeowners' projects. Time and time again, Lightning exceeds my expectations. I have hired them for my own personal and business projects and recommend them to everyone I know. Finding an electrical team that delivers every single time is rare, don't call anyone else!! read more

We hired Lightning Electric as a subcontractor on a major kitchen remodel. Tony gave me a detailed estimate that broke out parts and labor costs, allowing me to trim the budget somewhat. Mike was great to have around to supervise and direct the electricians at the start of each day. The job was very complex in a tight space and required moving the main panel inside the house a few feet, relocating all of the wiring for the rest of the house in the kitchen attic to the crawlspace for the new open beam ceiling, installing ring cameras, and integrating all of the above into our less than stellar solar system installed by another contractor. I just hired them again to install a 240 V car charger. Alonso is so great to work with. I highly recommend Lightning Electric. read more

Lightning Electric installed my first Juice Box back in 12/19. They did a phenomenal job of pulling wires from my panel and through a 2" conduit, under my driveway and installed a Juice Box (home charging with 240v) . It was an extremely clean job and very esthetic to the eye. When my Juice Box died, I called Lightning Electric to replace my Juice Box. He was able to come within 2 days after I had called him. I would highly recommend Lightning Electric for any electrical need. read more

Tony and his crew are amazing. This the second time I have had Lightning Electric do a project for me and I couldn't be more satisfied. I interviewed another electrician to replace an old set of electric heaters and they just walked through the house and sent me an expensive bid. Tony opened up the heater cases to see what was going on, reviewed my fuse box to identify which heaters were on shared circuits, and recognized immediately that the heaters I had hoped to install were not the right wattage. Every step of the way he impressed me with his knowledge and professionalism, and the folks who work with him are just as knowledgable, thorough and professional. I used Tony a number of years ago to install some ceiling fans and recessed lights, and I was just as impressed with him then as I am now. Tony is my go to guy for electrical work, and I'm already planning my next project -- installing a ceiling fan in my office. read more

Tony came out and assessed the various electrical issues I was concerned about. He was very helpful and sent a member of his team, Roger, to do the work we agreed upon. Among other things, Roger replaced a broken ceiling fixture in the bathroom Wow! What perfect light this is, warm and bright. He also installed a light in my coat closet. In all the years I have lived in this house there was never any light in the coat closet. Now there is a warm, bright light up high on the wall that operates from a timer switch. It's wonderful what a big difference this will make in my life! I can not say enough about these wonderful people at Lightning Electric. They are polite and friendly, competent and caring. And their work is superb! read more

We just had Tony Munguía and his Lightning Electric company install complicated lights, switches, and heaters in a funky 120-year-old house with ancient wiring. They had to cut open walls and install second-story exterior conduits. They worked in the attic and under the house. Tony and his crew were incredibly professional, competent, friendly, honest, and thorough. They did what he said they would do, when he said they would do it, and for the price he promised. It's not the cheapest outfit in town, but sometimes you get what you pay for. And Tony is absolutely transparent with all costs. read more

I just hired this company again for some new works. This company keeps to amaze me with their awesome works and awesome guys! Roger is so sharp and dynamic, he found our electrical problem within seconds. Michael is a miracle worker who completes the repairs like a genie with a smile and a lightning speed. (it makes senses with the name of their business! ) Tony is the dynamic and professional owner of the company. It must be his great energy and expertise attracted all of the best electricians in Marin! The difference between a great electrician and a mediocre one is the difference between a lightning and a lightning bug. Which one would you rather have? Thank you, Lightning Electric! read more

Tony is amazing. He helped me without hesitation with a super positive attitude and chivalry when I was in a really tight spot and desperately needed help. He is extremely helpful, generous, resourceful, and professional. I recommend this business so highly!! read more

Hey Yelpers! I just had Tony and his team from Lightning replace the main electric panel to my house in San Rafael. Big job and one that you want a pro to handle. Lightening exceeded all my expectations from a first visit to asses the job specs, accurate quote, scheduling, pulling permits and finally doing the work. On top of that they are really nice guys! Highly recommended. read more

This is the second time I have hired Tony and his team. The first time was about 4 years ago when I moved into an old home with a very scary looking old panel. Tony replaced it with a new one and did a number of other jobs at the home. He did an excellent job - he's on-time, professional and just a really nice guy! This time round, I had him come over to place a new sub panel for our new hot-tub. His employee Mike did most of the work but Tony came with him the day before to discuss the job. He also turned up on the day of work to check how Mike was doing. Mike was really friendly and did a great job. He did make one mistake in putting the wrong kind of cover on an outdoor GFI plug I had requested but came back the next morning and fixed it no problem. I had gotten a quote from an electrician recommended by our hot tub company but I found that compared to that guy, Tony seemed so much more knowledgeable. He made sure to find the additional spa panel in our garage (that the other electrician never bothered to find) and found out that it needed to be upgraded. His quote was much more detailed and outlined exactly what work would need to be done. I highly recommend Tony and his crew. Professional, friendly, on-time, knowledgeable. What more could you want? read more

Tony and the crew at Lightning Electric were extremely professional, on time, on budget and really pleasant to work with. After having 2 different electricians flake on the job to wire my hot tub, Tony was responsive and very clear on the scope of the job and his availability. I highly recommend him for your electrician needs. read more

For some reason, my 5-star rating from July 1, 2014 isn't showing on Yelp's evaluation section. I just reviewed my posting, and all the stars are grayed out. Weird...what's up, Yelp? Anyway...5 stars all the way! read more

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude and admiration to Tony, Mike and their crew for helping resolve an issue that quite literally all "The King's Horses and All the King's Men" had not found the answer to. Numerous visits from my ISP and satellite television techs, countless calls and what amounted to hours & hours of time on the phone as my "case" was "escalated" within their departments could not find the cause to my erratic internet and then no internet connection or "phantom remote" streaming of programming to other televisions that were not in my own home when I didn't have internet access!!! The same day I called Lighting Electric, Mike was able to come out with Luis to give me an estimate to run all new cables. He carefully listened to everything I said to him and proceeded to methodically diagnose what was causing my problem. He went through, one by one, the cables that were in my utility space with Luis at the cable junction box observing. Within 10 minutes, he discovered that I was not connected to my cable connection at the street! There were also several "misleading" cables connected that didn't serve any purpose. (There is a backstory/explanation for this that is best left out of my review) Two days later, Luis and Mario came back out to install all new cables, install "jacks", so we could "hardwire" all our devices and stay off wifi as much as possible. (We discovered we needed to be as secure as possible with our home network.) They both were very careful and thorough. That same day, Tony came out and completed the installation of our satellite service, working with the tech over the phone. He is one talented guy---has natural aptitude. Tony discovered that our satellite cables were not configured properly which explained a great deal of the "phantom" behavior and extra connections I kept seeing. Tony also gave me a referral who has been a tremendous help in resolving these compromise issues I've been experiencing for over a year. He and Mike both really care, do great work at a fair price, and exercise due diligence. They both have certainly extended themselves on my behalf, and I will forever be grateful to them for helping me like they have. I have and will use them again too! read more

Tony is a VERY experienced electrician and exceeds all of our expectations. We have had extensive electrical work done to the outside and inside of our house in Novato and he has never disappointed us; with his pricing or the quality of his work. He is honest about his work AND pricing. His employees also have his exceptional work ethic and are highly experienced. We wouldn't use anyone else! read more

About a year ago I wanted to update the electrical in an old home I was buying and moving into. I met with a few electrical contractors to discuss this work, but none came close to meeting my preliminary satisfaction. On the advice of a friend who had used Lightning Electric (and was very happy with them), I called Tony and left a message asking if we could meet and discuss the electrical work that I needed to be done. Tony returned my call that same day, and we met a few days later. I was impressed by Tony's knowledge of the electrical industry. I also appreciated his ability to help me understand in layman's terms, what I needed to do to accomplish my electrical needs. During our conversation I mentioned I was also thinking about updating the lighting in my home. When I received a very reasonable bid price from Tony to fix my code violations, it also included a design build sketch of what he thought would be a good, modern, lighting scheme for my home. I liked his design and requested him to build it for me. I now have can lights and ceiling fans with lamp, throughout my home. All my lighting is controlled by dimmer switches, allowing me adjust my lighting to exactly where I want it. He even put in little four inch reading lights over both sides of the bed, so we could be rid of the clutter of the night stand lamps. The work was done on time in a clean and professional manner. Tony did what he said he would do. In fact he did more, as there were a few little things that popped up during the remodel, which he just took care of. I am very happy with the work performed by Lightning Electric and I highly recommend this company. read more

Tony is great! Great customer service...five-star indeed! He installed a ceiling light for me yesterday and did a great job. The location of the light was a bit tricky, but Tony figured it out, and it looks perfect. He also installed a dimmer at my last-minute request. I'd say that his rates are a bit higher than average, but he's totally worth it. I am very particular about who I let into my home to do these types of jobs, and Tony did not disappoint. read more

If you need anything electrical, call Tony! He is very competent, works fast and is well worth the rate he charges. He changed out a transformer for me and is coming back for more work as soon as my new fixtures arrive. I am a retired property manager, i can size up a vendor in seconds and I assure you - this guy is tops. read more
