Panel Finished Out.

Many homes in Orange County built in the 1960s were originally equipped with Zinsco electrical panels. These panels use aluminum bus bars instead of copper, making them prone to corrosion and arcing at the breaker connections--which can be a serious fire hazard. On top of that, replacement breakers for these panels cost nearly three times more than standard modern breakers. Rod was recommended to us after he upgraded a friend's panel in Huntington Beach, so we brought him in to replace our old setup with a new 200-amp panel and a generator plug at our home in Costa Mesa. His pricing was very reasonable, and his service was excellent from start to finish. I'd highly recommend Rod to anyone needing panel upgrades or electrical work--professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with.

Rod and his team were great to work with! He actually came for two separate projects and did an outstanding job in both. He's also reasonably priced so I appreciate that a lot. I like Rod's work because he is efficient, correct, and he doesn't take shortcuts in his work. I'm confident that he's doing the best wiring when he's here. I would highly recommend Rod and his team for any electrical work needed.

EXCELLENT service. They were actually able to come out the following day of my request. Rod and his step son were amazing as a team. We had an issue with one of our switches not working and also needed a chandelier hung. Rod was patient and found the problem...fixed . His step son wired and hung the chandelier in our bathroom in no time. . They cleaned any mess that was made. HIGHLY recommend. We will use them again. Thank you!

New exterior lights installed by Rod

Rod was awesome! I hired him to install two exterior lights above my awning for my business. Rod was very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and offered a fair price. The exterior lights turned out great and now potential customers can see the front of my business when they drive by at night. I would highly recommend Rod for anyone that needs an electrician. He used quality parts, and the lights were custom ordered for the job. Whenever I need an electrician again, I will definitely call Rod.

Rod installed a 220 watt outlet in my garage which lets me charge my Nissan Leaf EV. Everything went well and he was very friendly. Highly recommend!

This is where the wire was shorting out.

I called Rod's Electric to come out and troubleshoot an issue I was having with a circuit breaker that kept tripping. Every time I tried to reset it it would make a buzzing sound and trip the breaker again. I tried to troubleshoot The issue myself the best I could but just could not figure out why it was tripping. Rod's electric came out and I explained the situation and showed him what was going on. He began to troubleshoot the entire system by eliminating one socket and switch at a time using his fault detector. He was able to locate the source of the problem which turned out to be a wire all the way in the back of my house in the patio covering that was arcing and shorting out the entire house on that breaker. Rod was very methodical in eliminating what it could possibly be until he is finally able to find the source of the short. Rod was very friendly and professional and did a great job. I highly recommend Rod's electric to anyone that needs any electrical work done.

I got in just at the tail end of SCE's rebate to install an EV charger when a panel replacement was required. They handled all of the permit processing, the estimate was done entirely with photos over text, and it was honesty about as simple a process as I could hope for. I got pre-qualfied for the SCE rebate but they took over the paperwork and file, meaning my project cost got reduced by the rebate amount which was very helpful for me as well. Work done from my untrained eyes seems top notch, everything was up and working, looked very neat and tidy afterwards. There were up to 4-5 people at my house working for most of the day and everyone was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. They sent out an electrician to meet the permit inspection the next day as well. I noticed that one of the screens over a craw space air vent didn't get reinstalled (they had piped the EV charger cord though it) and even though he was only there for the inspection Andrew got under the house and got that screen installed again correctly, which will help protect the house from rats getting back inside. Really appreciated and shows a full team commitment to getting the job done right. One note, they don't do trenching or wall repair, so you'll need find those services on your own after they work. That's pretty standard I think though. All in all so happy with the whole experience. I'll be recommending them this crew to anyone who asks me in the future.

My house is older with only a 125A service panel and Andre explained why it was undersized for my existing loads so we decided on an upgrade to 200A panel. Andre provided a quote the next day and, though I had some outstanding issues with getting the new oven which delayed our decision to proceed, he remained responsive until I accepted the quote and arranged the upgrade quickly. Andre took care of everything including all permits and inspections and completed the job quickly with everything getting inspected and bought off in two weeks with most of that time waiting for the city inspection. Andre and his team were professional, friendly and answered all my questions without any problems. I will not hesitate to call Makena Electric for any future electrical needs.

I reached out on Yelp and felt ZERO need to shop around once Andre quickly answered. You know when you just get a good feeling from someone and you KNOW they will be honest, upfront, and awesome? That was definitely the case here and Andre came out the very next day to take a look at my kitchen. He fixed an ancillary kitchen wall outlet issue for me within a minute, and was able to figure out exactly what lighting my kitchen needed, all while providing me with helpful advice and tips. Andre and Pedro came out the next morning to replace my eight lights and the entire job was done in an expert manner within a couple hours. The cost was incredibly reasonable with no hidden costs or attempts at upselling. I put off getting my lights replaced for months/years because I didn't want to deal with the headache, but this experience was seamless. I'm thrilled that I now officially have my trusty go-to HB electrician who I will contact without thinking twice about whether it will be a good deal or good work. It's just an added bonus that both Andre and Pedro are super friendly and personable, even with my puppy mercilessly shriek-barking at them for daring to enter his territory (sorry again about that!). I highly recommend Makena Electric to anyone and everyone in and around HB!
