I found Ron on here 12 years ago when I moved into my house, and have never needed or wanted another electrician. Ron is awesome: tremendously knowledgable, skilled and caring. I've utilized Ron's services at least 10-12 times over the years -- from simple jobs (installing ceiling fixtures) to intermediate jobs (hard wiring an EV charger to my electrical panel) to complex jobs (a garage renovation/conversion with all new wiring and a sub-panel added.) Ron came through each and every time. Never a problem. Never an issue he couldn't solve. And never something he couldn't explain, or didn't have the patience to explain, to a dolt like me. He is extremely giving of his time: not only does he not charge to assess the issue, but also he does not charge for follow-up questions once the job is complete. Nor does he charge to go shopping for a part or doodad you might need but that he does not have in stock on his truck. Yes, it might take you some time to get an appointment (especially if you are a new customer) because Ron is quite deservedly in high demand, and he also prioritizes existing customers over new ones. (Which I am of course biased when I say I think that's a great philosophy!) And he's also not the most punctual person you've ever met. So if you have an absolute *emergency* then Ron is likely not going to be the fastest one to your home. But if you have any job where planning, fastidiousness and professionalism takes precedence over speed, I am confident that you will not find a better electrician for the job than Ron. read more

Thank you for returning my call and taking the time to respond to all of my messages. I really appreciated the communication and responsiveness. Unfortunately, I was disappointed to find out afterward that you don't work on condos. I wish I had known that upfront, as it would have saved me some time and avoided getting my hopes up about being able to move forward. Nonetheless, I appreciate you getting back to me and answering my questions. I'll have to continue looking for someone who does work on condos. I wish you the best. read more

My fridge turned off as well as an outlet next to it and I couldn't figure out the breaker box. It was 10pm at this point. I reached out to Ron and he talked me through it with pictures back and forth and it worked out. Even though he was in the middle of working on something else, it was really kind of him to take the time to help me, especially that late. Thank you! read more

Ron was knowledgeable, honest, and easy to work with. I appreciated his straightforward service.

Ron is extremely knowledgeable, very quick to respond, and clearly explained to us what was wrong with our breaker as he was completing his repair. The fact that he was available on a Sunday was a godsend. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a fair, transparent electrician! read more

Ron installed a new chandelier in my 1940s home. He was knowledgeable about the workings of an older house and came up with thoughtful solutions to issues that allowed the install to be as minimally invasive as possible. Additionally he was thorough, reasonably priced, communicative and took pride in his work. I'll be reaching out to Ron for any future electric workings my home may need. read more

i have been rent miss in not writing this review much sooner. I highly recommend Ron Mulvey as your goto electrician. Over the last several years Ron has helped me with several different electrical issues.The jobs he has done for me have varied from small to very large projects. Ron does excellent work and his prices are very reasonable. He always finds the best and fastest ways to get the work done. read more

I first hired Ron several years ago based on his reviews. He's done a number of projects in two homes, ranging from finding the root cause of outages to fixing faulty breakers to bad outlets and light fixtures to replacing the motor for my attic fan. He's a great problem solver, meticulous and thorough, and able to communicate what needs to be done and what choices need to be made. If we had only met 30 years ago! Ron is also a great person and the type of craftsman everyone would want to take care of their home. I couldn't recommend him more highly. read more

He's always terrific! And He's very knowledgeable! You can trust him also! He won't try to take advantage of you and explains all options. read more

So 7 years after the initial review - we finally got to work with Ron and he is great! We had a light fixture that needed replacing, a dodgy smoke detector and an issue with power to some kitchen appliances. Ron arrived on time with plenty of notice beforehand via text - big smile - super confident dude - personable, professional and did what he said he was going to do. he got creative with a couple of problems and helped us out with some solid advice. Highly recommend and would hire him again. read more

Gut instincts prevail! As a first time homebuyer, it was daunting to begin the search for an electrician. Knowing that I was looking for someone and not a company or conglomerate was my priority. Scrolling through Yelp, I found Ron and after contacting him I knew I made the right decision. When we spoke on the phone, I explained my needs and he was able to not only understand my poor descriptions of the work that needed to be done but also give me the insight to understand what I was up against. I was able to schedule him in a day later and he went to work! Installing a GFCI breaker, fixing a loose recessed lighting socket, replacing a light fixture, fixing light switch wiring, and the list goes on. He took his time and explained his work along the way. Ron checks all of the boxes for being a well-qualified electrician. Not to mention, he was extremely pleasant and professional. I appreciate not only his work but his attitude towards it as well. Thanks for everything, Ron! read more

Ron is absolutely wonderful. Professional, reliable, and expert electrician who is very personable and will take the time to explain. Best of all, he works evening hours which is convenient when you work during the day. Ron stayed for several hours to diagnose a tricky electrical issue we had. Along the way he shared with us more information about our house wiring than we expected. It was a fun, forensic history lesson about the house. He even sent pictures with suggestions and watch outs for us. He is not out to make a quick buck and cares about solving your problem, even if you don't end up needing him. Very honest and he was pleasant to have around. And he fixed our issue! We are very happy and will call him first for any electrical need. read more

I walk into the theater room and the entire room seems to be out of commission. I walk into the connected bathroom and the lights aren't working there either. I try manually to turn on any of the devices but to no success they are all not showing a pulse. I knew at that point I needed to call someone. So I searched high and low, where I came across Ron's Electronics. We spoke as he helped me assess the situation but it was during the holidays. So because he wasn't in the local area at the moment he did the next best thing to recommend another trusty friend to help me get the job done. I mean how can you go one more day without the theater room working when you have 3 rambuntious kids running around in the house? In the end, I got my lights put back on in the room and I couldn't be more grateful for Ron's sincere and genuine way to help me fix my power outage. read more

Ron is the best electrician I have ever met, and I have worked with many over the years. He is responsive, communicates well and provides fair pricing for excellent work. Beyond that he is a wonderful human being. He cares about his work. He cares about his clients. He goes the extra mile. He has integrity. His knowledge and expertise is extraordinary. Trustworthy. Professional. Personable. Highly skilled. They say every homeowner should have a go to plumber and a go to electrician as well as a good doctor, accountant, etc. Grateful to have found Ron. Happy he is my electrician and I will refer him to family, friends and anyone else looking to work with the best of the best. read more

This review is long overdue. Regrettably, toward the end of last year part of the electricity went out in my old house. My house still uses fuses, and although I did check all the fuses and circuit breaker, I could not fix it! This is where Ron comes in. I called him and explained the problem, sent pics, and set a time for him to troubleshoot and hopefully fix. I am so glad I did he had to deal with my out if storage stuff littering my house and somehow was able to fix the problem and also gave me some other helpful info. I am very grateful he was professional/knowledge - I certainly know who to call now for electrical for "this old house." Thank you, Ron! read more

This review is long overdue, but we contacted a few electricians about our smoke detectors around November of last year. Ron was by far the most communicative and clear, and luck would have it happened to be available soonest. So glad that was the case, because he was professional, pleasant, and knew his stuff. He even explained to me what he was doing as he was installing the new smoke detectors so in the future if I wanted to do it myself I could. In the future if I ever need electrical work I'm not even bothering looking anyone else up, I have this guy's number saved. Thanks a lot Ron!! read more

Very personable. Tried to walk me through possible solutions before coming and charging me. Came on time, promptly found the solution, and we were done. Also loved our dog! read more

Ron just did an excellent job troubleshooting and fixing our GFCI outlets in the kitchen and non-function outlets in a bedroom. He made sure wherever he touched was in proper order. He explained clearly the issue and what he did. Very pleasant to work with and highly recommended! read more

Ron is an expert at what he does and happy to walk you through the ins and outs of the best way to diagnose and solve your electrical issues. Our house was built in the 50's and has probably been worked on by a number of electricians, but as long as we're here Ron will be our first call . read more

Ron was EXCELLENT and a real pleasure to deal with! He handled everything we needed to be done in a timely manner. I HIGHLY recommend him!

The power blew out at 8pm. I tried flipping the switches but it didn't work. I was in the dark about what to do. I found a recommendation for Ron and I'm so glad I called! He knew what kind of circuit box it was and its idiosyncrasies. He walked me through a tricky maneuver with the switch over the phone and it worked! Ron obviously knows what he's doing. Very personable and a clear communicator. read more

Ron is the best! We replaced a dishwasher in one of our units, and the thing was so old it was hard-wired into the building. Ron came out and saved the day by re-wiring a new pronged plug into the new dishwasher and installing a new four-receptacle outlet for the dishwasher to plug in to (we needed four as one side was for disposal and had to be wired to a switch). Ron made the whole experience easy and positive. Great personality, incredible knowledge. Thanks Ron!! read more

Ron was awesome! I had an outage and called Ron. First, Ron was so nice over the phone. He asked me about my issue and then took the time to explain, clearly, the possible causes and solutions. This conversation certainly made me confident enough to ask Ron to come over and help. Second, Ron came same day. I couldn't believe it. We texted (he gave me his cell), and he confirmed in a timely manner. Ron showed up on time, too. Re Service: I couldn't have asked for more. Not only did Ron jump right in, he was really attentive to not damage anything as he got started. He also took the time to explain what he was doing and why when I asked for explanations. Sometimes repairmen won't explain, but by educating me I think Ron made me a better customer, too. Ron had all of the equipment to do the job, including replacement parts. Everything he touched was put back in a nice clean fashion. Re Extra Touch: Ron also saw some other red flags with my outlets and asked me if i wanted him to work on those as well. He made some really small, but big convenience and safety changes I had been putting off for a long time. He assured me he could do the fixes fast, and he did. I will use Ron again, and I highly recommend him. read more

Had a great experience with Ron today. He installed a chandelier in a room that originally had been a formal living space. He was meticulous when it came to getting the chandelier hung level even though our older home is anything but plumb. Project took a little longer than expected but the results were well worth it. He was super friendly and didn't mind a crazy household with a toddler and puppy running around. Highly recommend and will be using him for future upgrades! read more

Ron Mulvey Electric - Electricians Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

Fantastic service, on time and extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Took the time to explain the issues as well as demonstrated the problem and solution. Even looked at other outlets around the house as advised me on my smoke detectors. Well worth it. Would use again for sure. read more

Found Ron in NextDoor (sorry Yelp!) and he was as advertised: Quick, knowledgeable, efficient, and lovely to deal with. Will definitely use him again when the need arises (which hopefully won't be for a while). read more

Ron is the best electrician I have ever worked with. He's extremely knowledgable, polite, thorough and honest. I'll work with Ron every time I need something done! read more

Ron was awesome! We are first time home owners and there are so many janky outlets and electrical issues with our home. We previously used an electric company that was overpriced, hard to book, not customer friendly, and a revolving door of random people. When our outlet burnt out, we texted Ron and not only did he come same day, he was responsive, personable and answered a ton of questions. Extremely reasonably priced. We'll be calling him for all our future jobs! read more

Hey Ron, I located Mulvey Electric on Yelp and decided to contact you due to all of the positive reviews. I called you and the message said that you are too busy to take on any new customers. I think you should remove your business from Yelp if this is the case. read more

So we bought a condo and the electrical panel needed updating, so the sellers just gave us a credit to fix. I perused Crapslist and found someone to claim he was an "electrician." I won't name names, but Pan was a disaster. After taking 2 days and not being able to connect 4 MYSTERY wires, he sloppily put the panel together.....then we asked him to install a 3 way switch and after an hour of trying, his excuse was "there are a million different ways this could be wired" and he failed to get the switches working. To his credit, he didn't charge us for the time it took him to fail. So I looked at Crapslist again and got lucky and found Ron to handle the 3 way switch. Ummmm, in about 10 minutes, all switches were working. I had him install some ceiling lights (him being 6'4 makes this easy). Price was reasonable and all is working. He makes it in my speed dial. Well 2 years later, on an unusually cold evening, we learn what those MYSTERY wires were for: our radiant heat! Brrrrrrrr. Called Ron, and Bam, after some sawing, digging, and exploring, wires were wired and rewired and we have heat. Good guy with patience and is pleasant. Knows his juice. read more

Ron did some troubleshooting for me yesterday and fixed EVERY SINGLE THING I needed. He also explained everything that was wrong and what I need to do going forward. He was patient, knowledgeable, and enjoyable. 2 of those things I hoped for, the "enjoyable" part was an unexpected bonus. Above and beyond---he answered the phone after hours when I thought I'd be leaving a message. This is the type of person you just don't find anymore. read more

We had an electrical issue at home and first thing I did was searched for an electrician locally here on Yelp! Ron had the best review by far so I gave him a call! It was a Sunday and just like what someone said here he did answer his phone and he tried to helped us out by talking us through the things we need to look at. Next thing you know he came by even though it was late and tried to see what was wrong! Everything that people said about him was so true! He was very kind, honest and very knowledgeable in what he does! He took the time to explain to us what happened and what he has to do to rectify it. He didn't rush things and made sure he does it right. So anyone out there who needs some help with electrical issue give Ron a call! I'm sure you won't be disappointed! Ron thanks for all your help! We will be reaching out to you again for the other things we need to get done! read more

Ron is such a pleasure to work with! He's courteous, extremely knowledgeable and cares. First of all, he was the only electrician to actually return my initial phone call and then actually show up to check out the electrical system. Our house uses an old electrical system that most houses stopped using after the 70's...the dreaded relay switch system. Prior to meeting Ron, I had no idea what that meant...but he took the time to explain it all to me and show me how this particular system works. Knowledge is power and he helped to empower me! Ron knows EVERYTHING about this system. (It's one of the reasons I think electricians would fall off the grid after telling them we have a low-voltage system...not many electricians have experience with this.) Since then, he has been and continues to be our go-to electrician and someone we can trust with any electrical needs. Highly recommend him!! read more

Ron is absolutely fantastic and he's the only electrician I will ever choose to work with. Great demeanor, work ethic and does the job very well. I had written a review prior stating how amazing he is PRIOR to any work. He has completed the job for me and I'm very happy. He did it quickly, prices were fair, and delivered efficiently. If you want someone who has more than 35+ experience in this specialty, then really, look no further. Thank you, Ron. You're the man! I'm already looking forward to collaborating with Ron on additional projects in the near future. read more

This is the second time that I call Ron to do electrical work in my home. He is licensed, gets there on time, knows what he is doing, and an all around nice person. This last time, I needed a 220V outlet for my espresso machine. But before he got around to doing that, I had a problem with a fireplace that was supposed to work with an electric switch. I'm pretty handy, but I gave up after spending several hours trying to find out what the heck was wrong with it. Ron took his multitester and started checking output from different wires. In about 15 minutes, he discovered that the fireplace has some safety features that prevent it from lighting if the damper is open, and also, one of the wires to the transformer was disconnected. Now my fireplace is working and I have a warm feeling. His fees are really reasonable. read more

My experience with Ron is on par with Jennifer N's. I was so excited to write him a good review as soon as he left. We had a mystery circuit in our home that stumped my contractor brother and father (they spent at least 6 hours trying to figure it out). It took Ron about 30 or so minutes to identify the problem and come up with a solution. He also fixed two dead outlets. Knowing that my wife and I are recent first-time homeowners, he pointed out services that I wanted that would have been too costly to us. He also showed me how to install a bathroom ceiling fan myself, to save us additional money. His rates are more than reasonable, and was very generous with his billing. He was even able to identify some inadequacies of the plumbers doing work at the same time! He is the first and only electrician we'll ever use. read more

As good as it gets. I own three homes and done a LOT of reno. Ron's the man. Thorough pro, very clean, punctual, does what he says he'll do and a very fair price. I wish all of the trades performed this competently. If you're nice he'll even do a voice over for you! But thats another yelp... read more

Here is the thing, Ron is incredible. I called him up for an estimate, left a voicemail and was called back extremely quickly. Not only was he cordial and friendly but he jumped on explaining the situation I had at hand and pointed out some things that I would not have even thought of on a level that really made since to me. Having worked at an electrical company in the past I can tell you his friendly demeanor and warm willingness to take the time and talk things out is extremely rare. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined having a lengthy conversation about secondary meter installation that would be so engaging, educational, and frankly really fun. Even though the work we needed to have done was outside of his scope he was quick to provide a reference to another trusted colleague. He is a man who clearly cares about providing quality service backed with genuine trust. I will be recommending Ron whenever I get the chance! read more

There are so many super-positive reviews about Ron Mulvey here on Yelp, it's hard to say anything fresh and new that's not been said before. So I'll keep it short and simple. If you like, even love, your home. And if you need electrical work done properly - not just "to code" but truly professionally. And furthermore, if you value working with someone who really takes time to talk with you, think with you, give you advice, figure out the best solution, and not pressure you in any way, Ron's your guy. Look no further. Just give him a call and get on with the fix or upgrade. Ron, thanks again! read more
