We couldn't be happier with our decision to choose family owned, READY ELECTRIC. After speaking with Jesse initially, we felt confident we had chosen the right company, as they were friendly and highly accommodating to our schedule and needs. We were equally impressed by Jr's professionalism, knowledge, and workmanship. He listened carefully to our requirements and used his skills and foresight to successfully complete the project. We are so pleased with the results that we have already referred Ready Electric to our family and neighbors. Thank you Jesse & Jr for your prompt service, cleanliness and outstanding work. It's clear that you take great pride in what you do! read more

I had an emergency situation that ultimately called for a full panel upgrade. We scheduled a visit to check out the problem the next day, which was not an emergency inspection or anything. He came to check out the problem and give me a quote. Overall, he was thorough in explaining stuff. What rubbed me the wrong way was how after I asked him for a quote and told him I have one other person checking it out to give me a quote, his tone changed. I explained that this is an expensive project and it would be dumb to just get your price and go with it without checking with at least one other company. I'm not made out of money here. He then gave me the quote and it was literally like twice the range of most panel upgrades. I get that you're licensed, but so are most of these companies. I feel like because of my situation (Edison had cut the power to my place), he was just taking advantage. Admittedly, I was desperate to get it fixed, but I'm not going to pay almost 12k for something that costs around 5k. So he gives me the quote breakdown and four options (all way over average prices), and then I say thanks and that again, someone is also going to stop by and take a look and I'll text him either way. He then gave me a guilt trip about how they reserved the day for me and how it sucks that I'm not just taking the job. At that point, even if the second guy wasn't going to work out, I was not going with this company. Fortunately, the second guy (also licensed) that came was able to pull some strings and get everything done --meter checked, permitted--the next day for a fraction of what Ready Electric quoted me. Power is back on and I didn't spend more than I needed to. For those of you needing electric work: shop around. Oftentimes we need this kind of work done ASAP, but companies will definitely take advantage as was this case. 3 stars because they responded quick and did explain things thoroughly. Clarification based on Ready Electric's reply: The quote was $11,600 for a standard panel upgrade. Yes, my panel was in bad shape, but I was not misrepresenting the situation. If anything, to suggest that your most affordable option was $1k when it was really (according to you) not really an option at all (with zero warranty even) and to leave out your main recommendation (the panel upgrade) is misrepresentative. I credit you for going out of your way and explaining stuff, and I would imagine that as a business, that part of the getting business is time-consuming. Apparently there was an inspection fee that was waived, and the gentlemen that came even asked, "how did you get the inspection fee waived?" Well, no fee was ever mentioned upon calling and making an appointment, and had there been, I would have never made the appointment in the first place. You mentioned that you understand people would get a second opinion and that's good; however, the whole reason I wrote my review (which I rarely do) was because of the guilt trip I was given for doing so. It was unnecessary and a poor persuasion technique. If I were to have said I have another guy coming to get a second opinion and you were like, "absolutely, just let us know if you decide to move forward with us," I would have never wrote my review, or I would've written one that praised the thoroughness of your quoting process. Also, the guy I went with was a referral from my brother's current contractor, but he has never worked with any of us directly. So we didn't have an existing relationship or anything. In fact, when I told him what i was quoted, he laughed and said that's just people trying to take advantage. Again, the point of my review was ultimately to warn people to shop around and not go with the first quote you get, especially if you're in a pinch like I was. Another day without electricity is worth not getting ripped off. read more

I'm so happy I found Ready Electric. I've managed our company's building and facilities for almost 20 years, and finding a reliable, honest electrician has always been difficult. JR was professional from the beginning. He arrived on time for the assessment, explained everything clearly, and provided a quote right away. When I had an issue with our original scheduled date, they were very flexible and worked with me to reschedule the job for an earlier day. They arrived on time, completed quality work, cleaned up after themselves, and were very easy to work with. Their pricing was also very competitive. Ready Electric is a great family business, and I truly appreciate their professionalism, flexibility, and help. I will definitely use them again and refer them to others. read more

J.R provided phenomenal service! He reached out to me within 10 min to book an appointment. He was very flexible with the time and allowed us to book after 5PM when we arrive home from work. J.R went above and beyond and was extremely professional. I would happily recommend him and use he's services again. Thank you J.R! read more

I needed a new main panel upgrade as well as 3 subpanels for each of my apartments. This is not a simple job or inexpensive, and to add to that I was trying to accomplish it while living out of state -- no easy task. I spoke with no less than 6 contractors and was very pleased that I settled on Jesse and his family to handle the job. From our first conversation, he provided confidence and expertise of the requirements for the project and the work was completed quickly and with excellence. He stayed in contact with me daily with updates and photos of his progress. He handled communications with the electric company, city and all inspections. He treated my tenants with respect and kept the property clean throughout. His price was fair and reasonable, overall just a professional job from start to finish. Do not hesitate to contact him for any of your electric needs, I know I will. read more

I waited two weeks after hiring Ready Electric Service before writing this review so I could make sure everything continued to work properly--and I'm very happy with the service I received. I called Ready Electric around 8:00 AM after experiencing a short circuit in my kitchen. The panel breaker did not trip, so I couldn't simply reset it, and I could smell something burnt coming from the electrical panel. Most of my frequently used kitchen appliances and my refrigerator were on the same breaker. I moved the refrigerator to another outlet temporarily so it could stay cold while I waited for the electrician. JR answered the phone and was able to schedule me between 11:00 AM and 12:00 PM. Jesse and Mike arrived right around noon. After diagnosing the problem, they explained four different service options with different pricing levels--from a basic "bandage" repair, to circuit panel maintenance, to a panel upgrade, and a panel upgrade with installation of a dedicated circuit to separate/divert my most frequently used kitchen outlets. I decided to go with the basic "bandage" repair for the immediate problem. After the initial repair, Jesse recommended opening up the older electrical panel that was hidden underneath my existing panel because of the burnt smell I had noticed. I was hesitant at first because I was trying to keep the cost down, but I'm really glad I listened to his recommendation. Once they opened it up, they found several circuit breaker wires that had been burned. They replaced the damaged wires, which gave me much more peace of mind knowing that we had addressed an underlying electrical safety issue rather than simply fixing the original symptom. Mike also took his time putting my existing panel back together and carefully sealed the surrounding area with silicone. I appreciated that they didn't just rush through the job and leave everything looking unfinished. Overall, I appreciated their responsiveness, professionalism, and willingness to explain the different options rather than simply pushing me toward the most expensive solution. Most importantly, the electrical issues have remained resolved during the two weeks since the repair. Thank you to JR, Jesse, and Mike for taking care of my electrical problem and making my kitchen safer. I would recommend Ready Electric Service to anyone who needs electrical troubleshooting or repair. read more

I'm not too sure if a lot of these reviews are real. We needed a complete electric rewire of an older home we just bought so we had multiple electric companies come by to do an inspection and to give us a quote. The technician who came by was pleasant, but when he heard we wanted a complete rewire, he did not even inspect the property or the amp panel. He just ballparked us a random number that made absolutely no sense. It was when I asked him to do an inspection to review the scope of work that he half heartedly opened a few outlets and said "ok, we're just going to replace them." In the end he gave me a quote verbally and never even sent me an actual quote that was promised. I would be extremely careful working with this company or choosing them for any high level electric work. If you review them on BBB or the California licensing board, you'll see that the owner is C-10 licensed but his workers are contractors who are working under his license. In comparing them to other electric companies in SGV in which the workers are licensed, this company uses just random contractors so the quality of your work varies. read more

We had a great experience. JR came out in the middle of the night very quickly for an emergency electrical issue, assessed the problem almost immediately, and gave us clear, practical advice on what to do next. He was professional, knowledgeable, and honest throughout the entire process. We're so glad we found him and will definitely be calling him for any future electrical needs. Highly recommend! read more

This company is truly phenomenal. Jesse is a genuine gentleman who took exceptional care of us. He handled a major job with real expertise and professionalism. He managed everything (dealing with the city, pulling permits, building a great rapport with the tenants), and throughout the entire process he was consistently friendly, responsive, and available whenever we needed him. Working with him was an absolute pleasure. read more

We are a small family renter going through some electrical issues. Jr, the younger of the father son duo, was so incredibly helpful and understanding of our situation. This company is willing to go the extra mile, helping us debug and explain temporary solutions (even at night after hours!) before the final fix. They went back and checked their installed appliances multiple times to ensure maximal quality while giving us multiple transparent solutions to us. Overall one of the best options in LA for electric company if you are looking for quality. read more

The technician is very knowledgeable and the work were perfect. The work was done in a timely manner. read more

The power went out in one of our rooms and we couldn't figure out what the cause was. Jesse was able to quickly diagnose the issue as an overloaded panel and thoroughly explained the process of repairing and upgrading it. He was extremely cordial, got the job done very quickly, and offered a very reasonable price. Ready Electric would definitely be the first company I call if I ever had electrical issues in the future. read more

I'll start by saying that I do not know the quality of Ready Electric's work. I messaged them to get a quote to remove a ceiling fan and install a new fan in a standard 8 ft ceiling. This is not a major job. I was told that "the only way I could provide a quote is by us going and evaluate the wiring and making sure that their is the correct bracket support." They will do this for a $49.95 service fee. After that, they will give me a free estimate. Presumably, this would be followed by a second service call (and second service fee) to actually install the fan. Four of their competitors gave me firm quotes via Yelp messaging within an hour. And they will all do the job in one visit. Ready Electric gets two stars for being responsive and polite. But no extra stars for their ridiculous business model. read more

Working with JR, the son of the great owner, was great. I needed a new electrical panel. He insisted on explaining the bang I would get for my buck including the quality of the products he'd use and workmanship. What impressed me most was that he gave me options that would not necessarily make him more money. He politely accomodated my need to pass through his workspace troughout the day. As he described initially, the work and products were top notch. Upon completion, JR again detailed the improvements made. I recommend Ready Electric to anyone who will listen. read more

Jesse from Ready Electric was awesome to work with, he was super friendly and went the extra mile to make sure all the wiring in my 110+ year old house was safe and up to date. He installed smoke detectors all over the place and put in new outlets wherever I wanted them. He and his team worked long hours to get the job done as quickly as possible in the extreme heat these last August days. I'm very happy with his knowledge, work, and upbeat attitude and highly recommend them. read more

Jesse is incredible. We had an issue with newly installed electric outlets & he came & fixed the work of another electrician easily & for a reasonable price. (I wish I would have used him for our panel upgrade & rewiring initially.) Most recently, had an issue with intermittent power & thought it was related to the old wiring still in our home. (Two electrical companies were scheduled to come by & give us a quote, after charging an initial fee.) One call to Ready Electric & Jesse suggested (with having LESS info than the other two electricians) to call PG&E, THEN call him back to schedule an appointment if that didn't work. (Even though PG&G's website reported no outages & our neighbors had no issues.). So glad we called PG&E. PG&E came out, fiddled with the electrical wire on the pole & electrical came back to normal. Jesse was right!!! And saved us money. Jesse also called me back to follow up, even though I was suppose to call him. Very knowledgeable, excellent service & customer care. Customer for life. read more

I had an electrical emergency at my house. I called a few different electrical companies. Some came out and gave me quotes, some couldn't respond same day. I called Ready Electric and was immediately met with such professionalism. They came to my house within two hours of me calling. Jesse and his crew were so friendly (and they were great with my dogs which is a huge plus). They worked so hard to fix the big issue in my house and they did a great job for a very reasonable price. I have found my go to electricians. I will definitely be using them again and referring them to my friends and family. read more

Jr was our tech , on time, conscientious . He even brought shoe covers to wear inside. He was thorough in explaining what he was going to do and provided options.

Jr gets an Attaboy and a Superior Performance Award. George & Patricia White read more

We recently purchased a new home in Glassell Park and discovered a few electrical updates were needed during the home inspection. We also wanted to add new exterior sconces, a GFCI outlet, a Ring camera, and a doorbell. Daniel and the team at Ready Electric were incredibly knowledgeable and quickly troubleshot everything, offering smart solutions for how to wire it all properly. During the process, we decided to add more Ring devices and outlets, and had them return for a second visit. We experienced the same top-notch service and professionalism. I definitely recommend Ready Electric and will be sure to call them again in the future. read more

JR and his crew went above and beyond to help us! An outlet started Sparking and we called him after 7pm, the call was answered kindly and an appointment set for the next morning. We got a quote and a partial fix the same day, enough to keep us safe. A crew of 3 arrived the next morning ( on a Saturday!) To get us all fixed up. We had a major repair and it took most of the day. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Repairs and cleanup were so great, they made things look so nice and professional, even throwing in a new switch plate where a metal one could have caused us to shock ourselves, totally unrelated to the repair. Would absolutely call them. Our repair was not cheap, but fairly priced for an entire day of work. Thanks guys! ​ read more

We were having issues with the old electrical wiring in the front part of our house since it was quite old and never updated. We started to hear popping sounds in the outlets and immediately called Ready Electric after finding good feedback about them. Well, they did not disappoint and were able to come to our house within 24 hours after making the initial call for help. Aaron and Mike were consummate professionals and worked quickly yet with precision. They filed the permit for us to obtain a new electrical panel/circuit breaker for the rewiring that they did for the front part of the house. All in all, it was a very smooth and stress-free process and experience. We are so happy to have found them as they did quality work and were reasonably priced. We also can't speak highly enough about Aaron, who led and worked on our electrical project. He was extremely communicative and we always knew what was to happen next and when. It made our lives easier. We highly recommend. read more

Ready Electric was such a pleasure to work with. From speaking with Jesse to having Daniel and Michael come out to refurbish our panel (and more). We had been having so many issues and I contacted 5-6 electricians getting quotes. Ready Electric was very direct, transparent and answered all of my questions. Other companies had quoted me for so many other things making the process very overwhelming. Daniel made it really easy to understand and got straight to the point of what I needed. When they came out to start the job, they were very respectful, called me when they had to double check things with me so that I was aware. and of course they fixed my panel and installed a EV charging outlet for me. bonus points that they cleaned up everything not leaving a trace of anything behind. Ready Electric will definitely be my go to electricians. It was a pleasure having them. read more

Very responsive, informative. Many years of service. They were very polite and knowledgeable.

Very happy!! Quick reply transparent pricing. Technician Daniel arrived on time, was pleasant and professional. Needed two electrical switches. Very fair pricing and quality repair. Would highly recommend this company!! 5 stars !! read more

My husband and I are a little discombobulated being displaced by the Eaton Fires and thought our dryer had an electrical issue. My husband saw this truck and asked if they could help us and they said they'd be over first thing in the morning. Long story short it wasn't an electrical issue and they fiddled around and fixed it immediately. They didn't charge us a dime. It was a little embarrassing but they were gracious. I loved that they wore shoe covers in the house. Will definitely contact them again next time we actually have an electrical issue. Thanks Jessie and George! read more

Jessy and Michael were both professional and proficient at the work they did. They arrived on time. I really appreciate for helping out with my electrical issue. read more

This review is way overdue, but I wanted to give a big thank you to Aaron from Ready Electric - who helped me build out a new electrical outlet on last minute notice for a dishwasher installation that I was doing.

I would recommend him and Ready Electric to anyone who needs an electrician read more
