Mike rewired a small 2-tiered crystal Victorian chandelier I found at a local antiques shop that I wanted to hang on the shepherd's hook I salvaged from the garden of my now destroyed Altadena home after the LA fires. It was an "electrical" experience after I found out that Mike and his wife, Rita, had also lost their long time home in Altadena. As far as the actual electric work, Mike listened to my request for rewiring the antique and adding an inline switch and made it happen. In fact, Mike remained undeterred when this fussy designer changed cord type from brown to clear and held her breath when she asked him to redo the job. Mike did and didn't upcharge me--thank you Mike! So now, job done with the added bonus of it being more of an art light with the addition two new friends despite these overwhelming days of back-to-back hideous life circumstances. At least we got light! Yay for small wins! read more

I called Mike and Bob after getting home from a long vacation to no power upstairs. They were at my house within 30 minutes and fixed the issue quickly and efficiently. Cannot recommend them enough and will definitely be using them again in the future! read more

I recently had an experience with Mike's Electric that left me quite disappointed. As I'm not the electrician, I'd expect the experts to ask the appropriate questions, especially regarding the layout of my home (and that it does not have a crawl space), before quoting the service. The technician had more than sufficient time to ask the appropriate questions during our text and phone calls between the period 9/26 - 10/4. We meticulously planned the job over several days via phone and text, and we agreed on pricing to replace three ceiling lights with LEDs. However, to my surprise, on the day of our scheduled 12 pm appointment, the price was suddenly raised from $125 to $200 per light--a 60% increase. It's a lesson learned for me to always have backup options to prevent falling victim to such bait and switch tactics. I cannot recommend this company. I'd also like to mention that it's my townhouse that I rent out and not a building as the electric company referenced in his reply btw... I have included the text conversation with the electrician on the day of the scheduled appointment when they altered the initial quote for your reference. read more

I have used Mike and Bob for several electrical issues as my home was never properly wired so I had several outlets go out constantly. They fixed the issue. Very professional and good people. I will not hesitate to use their services in the future. They are my go to Electric Company. read more

I highly recommend Mike's Electric. I called to have an outdoor outlet installed and Mike and Robert were at my house the very next day. They did a professional job and were very friendly and courteous. Not only are they skilled at what they do, they're good people too! They also went over and above by returning to my home when I noticed the pool pump wasn't turning on. Not only did they return quickly but took the time to diagnose the problem and ultimately found out what the issue was. I will definitely use their service again. read more

My electrical box was arcing. It was pretty startling and I called and they came right away to check it out and made sure it was safe. They neatly installed a new box and in the process fixed other issues I was having with the electric on one wall. They worked with me and my landlord for payment. I will be recommending them to my neighborhood! Thank you! read more

I've used Mike's repeatedly. They are quick and reliable. I needed to convert from a gas to electric water heater. They helped me figure out what plug to use, trickle shoot problems, and got it done fast. They even came out once for free to correct an issue. read more

My family and I were in need of an electrician to upgrade our main service panel to 200amps to accommodate for our electric vehicle. We called Mike's Electric Co. and spoke to the owner, Mike Tannous. He was very friendly and offered a very reasonable quote over the phone compared to others we had called. Mike and his son, Robert, came out the next day to begin work on the panel. They were punctual, professional, clean, and walked us through exactly what they were going to do and answered all of our questions. They also told us that they would pull a permit for this installation which would entitle us to a rebate with the City. We really appreciated their honesty and the level of exceptional service they provided. We would highly recommend Mike's Electric Co. (626-344-1163) to anyone looking for electrical work and will definitely be calling them again in the future! Thank you Mike and Robert! read more

I needed a major panel upgrade and sub-panel to bring power to the backyard (to power a new gate) pretty quickly. It was the CA raining season and they came when the weather allowed and completed the install in 2 days. Fully inspected and passed without issue. Mike and Robert have been doing this for a while and they are both great. Friendly, responsive, efficient all that you need with electricians. They recommended all the right things and got me squared away in no time at all. I got a few quotes and they were not the cheapest - but do you really want to cheap out on electrical work? They are local and we want to support local businesses. That means they care about the neighborhoods they work in. If you need a licensed, responsive and local professional electrician - then they are your team. Can't recommend them enough. read more

I'm not a tech or electric savvy person. I called Mike and he was quick to respond. Mike and Rob came the same day and helped install an automatic light switch for me. I had no idea what I was doing! Also, they were kind enough to double check the outlets as well to ensure they were working properly. Mike was honest and even recommended that instead of building out more outlets, it's cheaper to buy an extension. Overall, I highly recommend Mike and Rob. I will use them again for future projects. read more

Mike and his business partner were very professional. They were on time and did everything we asked for and even fixed another little problem they noticed. We were grateful and satisfied with their work. We would definitely use them again. read more

Great guys!!! I have used them twice for different jobs and always professional, easy to communicate with and great attention to details!! They upgraded my electrical about a year ago and added outdoor outlets a month ago. Excellent work!! Highly recommend!!! read more

I highly recommend Mike's Electric Company. Mike and his partner replaced the recess lighting, ceiling lights and fire detectors in my home. I could not be happier with their work. They are also both really nice gentlemen which made for an excellent service experience. I will be using this company for my future electrical needs. read more

They came out to give an estimate on a small amount of work. I thought it was too high, so I hired another well-known local electrician and they did the same work for half of what Mike's had estimated. They seemed eager to find problems where there weren't any. read more

We have a very defective solar power system that is inert because the "installer" scammers put in an inverter that they knew was defective! Mike's Electric Company is the only professional who is actually helping us out with the problem. read more

While I had what seemed to be a small problem -- a light switch went out -- I was unable to find the correct breaker and thought, to save my skin, I'd find a local electrician here on Yelp. Mike, and his son Robert, were fantastic at how quickly they responded to my inquiry, gave me a quote, and scheduled an appointment for the first thing the next morning. All on this site. Robert called just before he arrived and was absolutely on time. We all appreciate prompt and courteous contractors, right? Our home was hand built in 1936 and the wiring, which Robert told me was "knob and tube" is quite quirky. It took a bit of time to check out all the possibilities and, as happens with using top professionals, I learned quite a lot through the process. Robert also showed me how this type of wiring is susceptible to rats chewing through the aging tubes of cloth which cover the bare copper. He gave me valuable information about other reasons to consider re-wiring our home to update it sometime in the future. Yet, he also checked out everything to let me know our electrical system was currently safe. There is nothing more important, so that was a relief. Robert gave me his card, and it is now in my contact list should the need arise. I will not hesitate to call again with any electrical problems and, certainly, Mike's Electric comes with my highest recommendation should you need electrical work. read more

Mike fixed a major electrical issue I had put off correcting because another electrician couldn't even diagnose the problem and I expected the work /cost would be enormous. Mike and his partner were excellent. They fixed the issue and upgraded my wiring at a reasonable price - they even did a couple of extra minor things at no charge. They were fast, professional and weren't even messy. Great experience - thanks. read more

We had an issue with our electrical panel and a circuit that had burned out the previous evening. Mike and his assistant were at our house within 45 minutes of us calling him. My husband showed them the problem, Mike replaced the damaged part and he fixed the issue very quickly. We will definitely call Mike when we have another electrical issue. He is excellent. read more

Mike and Robert are THE BEST! They know what they're doing, they're reliable, trustworthy and considerate. Challenging to say that about vendors these days, but Mike and Robert remind me of how things used to be. They have done two jobs for us here in Pasadena. We 150% recommend them. Wish we had more electrical work to be done! read more

I hired Mike to ground and install 10+ wall outlets in my new condo (two-prong to three-prong), replace switches, and install GFCI outlets in my kitchen and bathrooms. He showed up for a quote on a Saturday and after we agreed upon the price he actually started work right away! Mike finished the entire job in about 5 hours time (over two days) and did it in a professional and friendly manner. The price was quite reasonable and I would recommend his services to anyone in the area, especially near Pasadena and the SGV. Thanks again Mike! read more

The guys came in for a small job, removing old chandeliers. They were very responsive, on time and did the job quick. We appreciate the work and will definitely use them again for any electrical needs. Thanks guys! read more

After receiving a couple of referrals from others in the neighborhood for this company, I called them, along with 2 other electricians, for bids on installing an electric vehicle charger and a fan. While they seem to be knowledgeable about the process, etc., offering 2 options on how to install the EV, their estimates were about twice as high as the other 2 electricians (who were only $25 apart). I am not sure if they just didn't want to do the work or what, but that was highly disappointing. I went with an electrician who the neighbor down the street uses who does a lot of EV charger installs. Make sure to get multiple estimates. read more

Mike and his son, bob, were very friendly and helpful. They took the time to examine the electrical box and discovered frayed wiring that was the cause of the problem of the trip. It was a quick fix, but they also stayed around long enough to ensure the unit was powered back on since the trip caused the whole unit to reset and we needed an emergency HOA personnel to travel out to the complex and provide access to the electrical breakers to reset. This was an extra 30-min wait to ensure everything was fully up and running. Thanks Mike and Bob! I saved your contact info and will definitely be in touch if any additional electrical services are needed. read more

We bought two outdoor lights to replace the ugly ones that came with our house a year ago. They've been sitting in a closet until I found a decent electrician. I finally got sick of looking at them, and asked for quotes. Mike contacted me immediately and quoted me a really fair price ($150). He came to my house within the hour (on his anniversary no less) on a Saturday, installed the lights and they look great!! I will absolutely call him again for our next electrical issue! read more

Great father and son team. They work efficiently, and changed out three broken switches in less than an hour. Best of all, price is more than reasonable! read more

Mike was prompt and reasonable. I called him early in the morning for my tenant's issues. He showed up within the next hour. He did a thorough inspection of the problem. I would highly recommend his services. read more

Mike contacted me almost immediately upon receiving my request for a quote. He and Robert came to my house the very next day and installed my security light which included running new wires to the outlet. They removed my old light and replaced it with a new one that I had purchased. Once mounted, I decided I didn't really like where it was placed. Without hesitation, Mike and Robert immediately moved the light to a move desirable location. Before leaving they took care to make sure work area was left clean. I will definitely be using them again. What a pleasure having a contractor show up when promised! read more

Mike Tannous and his journeyman (Robert) exceeded my expectations in an electrical contractor. Mike provided sound advice and a competitive estimate when my wife and I needed to replace our breaker panel on our 1952 house in Pasadena. Robert and Mike secured the permit, worked with city officials and diligently and expertly did the replacement and repair over a natural two week time-line. They always kept me informed with phone calls. I could not say anything better but the best in terms of Mike's knowledge, expertise, care, attitude and integrity. Thank you Mike Tannous (and Robert too)! read more

Amidst the chaos of a major lightning storm on Friday and Santa Ana winds on Sunday, the electrical in our house was in peril. Mike and his son arrived approximately an hour after my call Monday morning. They were clear in their explanations and very careful with their work. I am so thankful for their professional approach and helping me resolve an electrical issue in my old house. These guys were the best! read more

My company starting using Mike 2 weeks ago when our usual electrician wasn't available and we were in a bind. He went out RIGHT AWAY and solved the problem at a VERY fair price and we have used him 10 times since and have made him one of our regular electricians. Thank you so much for all your assistance Mike and making my job easier! read more

Called Mike when our electricity malfunctioned. Mike and Robert came out within an hour of my call. An electrician that I had used before failed to connect our panel properly. Mike hokked me back up right away. He diagnosed the problem and then called the city out to review his plan so all hs work would be legal. The city approved his plan , Mike and Robert did the work as promised and yesterday I received my letter of approval from the city. The job was done in a very professional manner. Mike and Robert are really good and fair people. I will definitely call them with any electrical work that I have in the future. read more

I've had a really good experience with these gentlemen. Mike and Robert are always really quick to call back, which is highly unusual for electricians. Their work is high quality and they are polite and professional. I never felt like they were giving me the run around or taking advantage of my ignorance in the field. I would definitely recommend them for all of your electrical needs. read more

Mike was so professional, came out the same day I called, and was able to fix the problem quickly and efficiently. Prices for service was more than reasonable, I will surely keep him as my electrician of choice. read more

I had an issue with one of my recessed lighting fixtures. I thought it was just a bulb that went out, but when I replaced it with a new one, it still would not turn on. I called Mike and he was able to come by within a hour. He and his son Robert were able to take apart the fixture and diagnose the problem (broken transformer). Within an hour they were able to replace the part and the light was back on. Great service, friendly and a fair price. I would recommend Mike for any electrical issues you might have. read more

Mike is the best Electrican one could ever ask for. I have used Mike for over 20 years and would never call another electrician under any circumstance. My air conditioner was not working and the problem was in the panel box. I called Mike and he came out to check and diagnose the problem which he did. He went out of his way and came the next day to install a new panel box. To save me money, he transferred everything from my old box which could not be used any more to the new one utilizing the wires etc and left extra spaces for additional breakers if ever needed.If he did not do this I would have had to have gotten a single box which would have cost twice as much. It took Mike 8 hours while working thru lunch. He is returning tomorrow to neatly place labels on all the breakers. Mike goes beyond the call of duty. He's clean and neat and reasonably Priced in his work. You'd be a fool not to call Mike if you needed an electrician. I am a woman and he doesn't take advantage of it as many men do. read more
