Had Martin come and check out a faulty socket and a light fixture. Fast and great quality work. Fair price!

We love Martin! He is our go-to for all our electrical needs. We originally found him when we needed our house to be re-wired. We loved him so much we specifically requested he do the electrical when we had our kitchen remodeled. We continue to hire him when we need any other electrical jobs done around the house and is our go-to recommendation when friends ask for electrician recommendations. He is professional, kind, and does not finish the job until it is done properly. Cannot recommend him enough! read more

Martin was great! I called him and he came the same day to replace a dimmer in my daughter's room. I highly recommend MR Electric!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Martin is very knowledgeable and friendly and was able to schedule stopping by fairly quickly. We had breaker issues in our newly remodeled house. He explained the issue in our breaker box. We haven't had any problems since! I was so impressed by his first work we called again for issues with our electric water heater. Thank you MR Electric. read more

Gary at Mr Electric responded quickly to my request for same day service keeping me up to date on when the servicemen would arrive. When he was presented with the details of the job he also provided a discount. Maliek and Chase assessed the work needed and explained to me how they would fix the problems. They worked efficiently to make the repairs even going out for parts needed. They were very courteous and helpful . I would definitely have them back and recommend them to others. read more

Had an issue with a subpanel in my garage, so I called Martin up to have a look at it. Took my call after a few rings and was able to come by the next day. Martin checked on a few things, opened up the panel and saw some incorrect work inside. The estimate he gave me was very reasonable for the work he did. He was in and out in about 40 minutes. If you have any electrical issues, give Martin a call. He has a great attitude, is prompt and will give you a good price. read more

I got a few bids for a full house electrical rewire + panel upgrade and Martin was one of the best prices and also seemed friendly and professional. He did a great job, and after talking to other electricians and going through the process I think the thing I didn't appreciate going into it was how different electricians' approaches can be. Some would have made us move out of the house and put lots of big holes in the walls, but Martin hardly ever killed the power to a room for more than one day and patched all the holes he made. He did great work with a great attitude and interrupted our life very little for a pretty substantial project. read more

Bought a doorbell and had it installed. Great company to deal,with, pricy but worth every penny. Had an issue several days later and came out, stayed there a while til they figured it out.. read more

Martin was very responsive. I needed help to get my ring cameras installed both indoor and ourdoor. Also, to make a new circuit/own line for my big microwave. The cost is reasonable! Thanks for your help today! read more

I needed to upgrade my panel and Martin was fantastic. He answered all my questions throughout the process and was very professional. His estimate and pricing was fair. He took care of all the permits and coordination with the power company. I am very happy with the service he provided. I highly recommend Martin/Mr. Electric. read more

MR Electric - Electric panel (Before and after) - Electricians Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Called MR Electric at 8:30, him and his assistant arrived at around 10:30 and were finished with the job at 11:15. He was very nice to me, explained to me what was wrong and how much it would cost. Told me a breaker was bad and left to get the replacement, when he came back he told me the one next to it was also pretty bad and he didn't feel safe leaving it installed. So he would replace it at no extra cost. He accepted zelle as payment as well. Would recommend him to everyone and will hire him again for future issues read more

MR Electric - Bad breakers which were replaced - Electricians Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Martin is a skilled, reliable, and trustworthy electrician you can count on. After my handyman botched up an electrical job, I needed a licensed electrician to inspect and fix the problem (turned out it was "problems"). My friend recommended Martin to me since he replaced their electrical panel years ago. I'm glad I reached out to Martin and he was able to fix the problems without much hassle. He always responds to my texts and job requests in a very timely manner. This was my first time hiring a licensed electrician since I've always had the impression that licensed electricians charge a fortune for their services. However, I find Martin's fees to be reasonable, especially given his quality work. With him, I can trust that the work would be done right and I can have my peace of mind. read more

We were grateful Martin wore a mask and putting hand sanitizer before entering our home. Martin was able to diagnose a difficult to find and dangerous wiring / light switch installed by previous owners of our residence who were trying to take some shortcuts. As always he was professional, polite, efficient and reasonably priced. You are in trusted hands for all things home electric with Martin. He is our go to electrician in Alhambra. Thank you Martin! read more

I had to replaced 3 fedral pacific electrical sub panels for Commerical insurance . I called Martin on Monday 8/1/23 and my commercial insurance was going to be cancelled on 8/3/2023 . Martin was a life saver . He came out to our warehouse that Monday within 2 hours after talking to him and gave me a super reasonable quote with very good pricing . He showed up the next day to do work . Bam . Done. I was impressed by his punctuality and responsiveness . I had 2 other quotes from different companies that was WAY more expensive for the same amount of work done and same volt replacement in those subpanels . Other companies I called some don't even respond . So it's a rarity that you get same day response and that he physically came out to store to check out the issue . I will look to him for my future electrical needs . read more

Quality work, reasonable pricing, thorough explanation of options, punctual and to top it off, super friendly and honest. Highly recommend!

Thank you for wonderful work and excellent customer experience. Martin is great - please don't let too many people know because I'll need more work done and I need Martin to be available. :) We needed power from our main house to the new 8x10 shed converted into a work/Zoom privacy room. Martin come by to check it out and gave several options and I could choose based on my budget which method made the most sense. Very happy with the options and my choice. Martin and his crew completed the work correctly first time - efficient and clean and allowed me to ask questions and watch some of the work. We had good communication for the fine tuning adjustment questions. Get this! I was talking about future plans, and Martin listened and during the work on my job, Martin made future plans easier by adding additional electric connection areas when we will most likely need it. Very smart and we didn't expect it and it is a very nice surprise and added detail. Martin goes above and beyond. Thank you for the wonderful job. We are super happy with the work and the entire experience. Looking forward to our next job with Martin and his team. read more

Martin is reliable and did an amazing job adding two outlets on the exterior of our house. Not to mention a fair price too!

I highly recommend M.R. Electric. It's two initials (not Mister). Martin and his assistant did excellent work on my 1922 South Pasadena home. They installed 6 security cameras, 6 lighting fixtures with new boxes, two new outlets, and also took a look at my garden lighting. They put on protectors over their shoes to keep the house clean, as well as laying down cloths and sweeping. I strongly recommend M.R. Electric. They are professional, friendly, honest, and gave me a great price. In fact I'm going to contact them again soon for another job. read more

Dain did a great job, with multiple items to fix (several circuit breakers, 2 GFI outlets (one inside, one outside), and Surge protection for the breaker box). Good explanation of my options, friendly and knowledgeable service. Definitely recommend Dain. read more

I spoke to several electricians to get a quote to upgrade my electrical panel. Many of them advised me not to do it with permits, suggesting it would save money. Martin had the best price by far and it included permits. He was responsive, always communicated and was a general pleasure to work it. I recommended him to my neighbors and I look forward to working with him again. Highly recommend! (El Sereno) read more

Just had them install a NEMA 14-50 for my Tesla Model 3. My panel is already 200 amps so it was just a matter of installing the 50A breaker and running a conduit under the house to the appropriate spot of where I'll be charging my car. He (I think his name was Martin? can't remember) came by for a quick estimate. He's super friendly and the price was cheaper than 4 of the 7 total estimates I got. When the day came to install, he and his helper arrived after 8:30am. They immediately got to work and finished in about 3-4 hours. Will definitely call him again if I need more electrical work! read more

Great Service! Reasonable price and very knowledgeable electrician. Martin Fixed my electrical issue within 1 hour and didn't try to over charge me? His price was good. I would definitely recommend him. read more

We started having some electrical issues before this last heat wave, but when it continued to get worse I knew I had to find an experienced electrician. Martin responded quickly and gave me a date and time for early the next week which was perfect. He arrived promptly and immediately found the circuit breakers to be older than I realized and replaced them. He was also agreeable to redoing all of the labeling of the circuit breakers which is time consuming and detailed when done correctly. I felt so fortunate to have found Martin. His expertise is high level - he is also a mechanical engineer - and he and his assistant were professional and kind. I would recommend Martin/MR Electric as the level of service is top notch. read more

Martin of Mr Electric did a great job. Like almost all contractors now, he has a backlog so it took a while to actually do the work. His work was very good and his price was fair. I would definitely recommend him. read more

We finally had our electrical panel replaced and the whole front of the house rewired. We had been wanting to do this for a long time due to the front of our house being very old, knob and tube wiring. We had decided to go with Martin and MR Electric because a friend of ours had just used him for their house and loved his work. The pricing was also very competitive with other quotes we had received. He said the job would take about 2 weeks and he was pretty accurate with the timing. Martin and his co-worker Junior were very prompt everyday and also very Covid safety oriented. They were very forthright with what would happen everyday so we knew what to expect each day. His workmanship is very good and efficient. When he had to cut into walls he would patch it right up and make it look very clean. He is very knowledgeable and would always answer any questions we had. He was also very prompt with responding back to texts or calls. He is also very informed with all the city ordinances and got our city permit lined up before starting the job. He is very on top of it and was able to get the city inspector in a timely manner. I wholeheartedly recommend MR Electric if you are in need of any electrical work! *Please be aware if you are redoing your main panel, that lead times from the power companies are ridiculous. At this time, we are still waiting for Edison to come and permanently attach pole power lines to our new main panel. read more

My parents needed a panel upgrade. We called Martin and he quickly scheduled a time to see the house and provide us with an estimate. The price was fair so we decided to move forward. He really communicated clearly what the process would entail including permits. We were really happy and impressed with his work and how clean the installation turned out. I would call Martin again for electrical needs in our home. read more

I got 7 different estimates for my new electrical panel. I went with my gut and chose Martín. I couldn't be happier. From the very start, he was the most patient and helpful and transparent. He answered all my questions and guided me through the process of working with DWP for the spot check and permits and inspection. He was on time or early on every occasion, and he and Davíd did great work. I give MR Electric my highest recommendation. read more

Martin from Mr.Electric did a great job with a quick security camera installation for a good price. Thank you Mr. Electric. Glad we called you. read more

Highest compliment is to use again. I had Mr Electric over to deal with a ground fault outlet in my kitchen. Martin and his assistant showed up about an hour after I contacted them. They were clean, professional and personable. They quickly replaced the gfi outlet and solved the problem. Pricey service because of the one time service fee for such a fast fix, but not so pricey when I consider how quickly they came by and got my refrigerator and other kitchen appliances running. Most electricians would take days. Yesterday, had problems with gfi again. They came out within 1/2 hour and quickly discerned that the problem was an Edison problem. Only one phase of the electricity was getting to the house. I contacted Edison and they fixed it at the pole later that day. Mr Electric did not charge me. I would definitely use them again. read more

Very professional, very honest, and I highly recommend. We needed a NEMA 14-50 and a couple exterior standard outlets installed, they were half the price compared to another quote. The communication with them was great and their work was thorough. About a month after the work I had a question about the amps from a dedicated circuit and Martin responded right away, so helpful! I will be calling these guys next time I need electrical work. read more

Martin from MR Electric is one of our best and most reliable vendors. We currently use him for all our outsourced electrical work on our buildings in the San Gabriel Valley. He is very knowledgeable, quick to diagnose problems, and does the job to perfection. When he replaces sub panels in our units, the amount of patching that has to be done is very minimal. He has also installed our 30 amp and 50 amp electric car charging outlets at our residence and did a fantastic job. I highly recommend him for electric car charging outlet jobs. Believe me, we use and have used a lot of vendors in our business and he is one of our best. read more

I needed to run a new 220 line from my panel to my garage. This involved removing bricks and cutting into the driveway.

His prices are a very fair, would highly recommend them. read more

I have used MR Electric for several years now. One of my first projects with him is installing a NEMA 14-50 outlet for a Tesla charger. Our most recent projects included a garage remodel as well as an electrical box upgrade, however, even small jobs can be done. We worked with a wdesigner for our garage project and she mentioned Martin was one of the best electricians she's worked with. I can't say enough about Martin. He is personable and professional. He's always reliable showing up when promised. The job site is always cleaned up upon completion. His prices are more than reasonable for the quality of the work. I can assure you that you will not be disappointed to use Martin for any electrical work you may have in mind. Honestly I would not use anyone else. read more

MR Electric - 200 amp electrical upgrade, NEMA 14-50 outlet for Tesla charger - Electricians Near Me - South Pasadena, California

I scheduled an appointment on Thursday of last week for this morning. Before scheduling the appointment I asked after explaining my problem for a possible estimate. I was quickly advised that an estimate could not be given over the phone that this would require a tech., coming out to inspect. I asked what is the inspection fee and I was advised $39.00 which included a free inspection of our electrical box for FREE (NEVER HAPPENED). The Tech arrived pretty much on time here by 8:40am out by 8:56am never inspected the attic wiring, front or rear doorbells nor the doorbell chimes, he listened to my description of the problem then gave me an estimate of $499.00. NOT HAPPY WITH EXPERIENCE!!!!!! Feeling ripped off read more

Martin is responsive, professional, and thorough. We have connected with him for years (e.g. new fuse box, electrical rewiring, outlet installation, etc.) and I am disappointed in myself that it took me this long to provide this review. Bottom line - if you need an excellent and honest electrician - look no further. Martin is the guy who you should keep in your phone book. He handles big and small jobs, is quick to respond, and so thorough - identifying any areas that are dangerous and/or in need of updating. Today, he worked in my mom's older home and ensured that the finished project was a quality job to ensure that it was wired correctly and to code, ensure her safety, and avoid any issues in the future. I appreciate him very much! read more
