Although our house survived the Eaton Fire, it needed extensive electrical work to bring it up to date. I was fortunate to find David and Claudia at SHOK Electric after seeing so many positive recommendations from fellow Altadena residents. From start to finish, they provided outstanding customer service, excellent workmanship, clear communication, fair pricing, and, most importantly, honest recommendations about what truly needed to be done. The entire experience exceeded my expectations, and it was clear they cared about doing the job right. I've already recommended SHOK Electric to several family members and friends, and I'll absolutely call them again without hesitation. I highly recommend them for all your electrical needs! read more

David was able to come change my dryer outlet the day after I called. It turned out to be a simpler job than other electricians were telling me. He charged me the best price out of four quotes I got. He was punctual, friendly, honest, and quick. I appreciated that he even brought his own shoe covers! I highly recommend Shok for honest, fairly-priced, and professional electric work! read more

I needed to install a home EV charger, and thankfully I found Shok Electric. I spoke with David and he was super helpful, answering every single one of my many questions. He also gave me a much more reasonable quote compared to the other electricians I spoke to. He got everything done so quickly, including permits, installation, and inspection. He also got me all the documents I needed to apply for the EV charger rebates that my power company is offering. Overall, great experience and will highly recommend David and Shok Electric. read more

Shok Electric - New fandelier installed by Shok Electric! - Electricians Near Me

David and his crew, including his wife were above and beyond excellent. From start to finish the work went smooth and there were no issues. Removing electrical lines from 1956 and updating them to 2025 took a work of patience and expertise. Above and beyond excellent. read more

We had an issue with some of our older wiring and a circuit that went out. Unfortunately, our laundry room was out of commission. Shok came out and inspected and we scheduled a repair. Told us they'd be there one day and ended up re-scheduling on us putting us out for a few more days. Due to the cancellation, they were nice enough to come out on a weekend and then say told us they would credit us... but not on the project they were working on, but a different project. We scheduled the second project and they canceled again on us due to illness. So I decided to go with somebody else. Lost the "credit" that they were going to give us because we didn't do the second project with them. I'm giving them 3 stars because they got the work done. Minus two stars for the lack of care for the customer and canceling two appointments. On the expensive side, but they may or may not show up and get the work done. read more

All I needed was a simple 20 amp electrical wall switch replaced. Shok's quote was $200??!? Ya I was shock'd.. Memo to Shok. Be nice to the small fish customers because they can grow up to be bigger fish customers. Luis 'n Jose Electrical in Alhambra got it done right away for $60. Yes, they get all our business moving forward. Edit- check out the *canned* response from the business owner. I was specific via a photo describing exactly what I needed. Quote was not "ballpark". Egregious overcharging for a simple service call? Do you want to give your business to this kind of a company? read more

David was able to come out to my house the day after I called him. He quickly diagnosed and resolved the electrical issue I was experiencing - highly recommend. Will definitely continue to use Shok Electric read more

We randomly had power go out in multiple parts of the house due to repeated circuit trips one day, and found Shok Electric on Yelp - can now confirm all the 5 star reviews for Claudia and David! Things I appreciated: 1) Easy scheduling: Claudia couldn't fit us in the same afternoon, but committed to having someone come out early the next morning. She gave a ~30 min time window when we could expect David at our house and followed up with a call to let us know he was on his way. 2) Great service: David was super patient with my many questions and did a thorough check up on the circuit boxes, the voltage on the outlets, etc. He didn't identify any addressable issues (which was a relief!), but explained what to look out for next time. As someone who's a total amateur with things like this, I appreciated that he did a thorough inspection but also didn't push any repairs we didn't need. 3) Waived consultation fee: Since we didn't need any work done this time, David waived the reasonable consultation fee even though we would have happily paid it for the time he spent checking things up & helping us understand the issue! So nice to find a local company that's clearly committed to building long term relationships and doing right by their customers. Though we certainly hope we don't need to contact Shok Electric too often, we know who we're calling any time we need help. read more

David came out to help us with some electrical issues in our garage, and he was great. The price he quoted was fair and he stuck to it. Explained everything and clearly leads with integrity. We'll definitely be calling Shok back the next time we have electrical work on our home. read more

My partner called Shok Electric and they came out for some work we needed. David is professional and did fantastic job. We got a brand new updated electric panel.

I will recommend them to family and friends. Thank you David and Claudia for helping us out. read more

I would highly recommend David and Claudia from Shok Electric any day! I was in a situation which required an expedited repair and David, the owner, took it upon himself to call the city to explain my situation and ask for a rush permit. David and Claudia were overly understanding, exceptionally supportive and kept me in the loop on the entire process. David communicated very well and overly explained, if I was confused about anything. Claudia went above and beyond to help me outside of her normal duties. They made me feel like part of the family. read more

As a new homeowner I was concerned about finding trustworthy and reliable companies to help me renovate my house. I asked for recommendations from everyone I knew. I saw the Shok Electric truck parked in my neighborhood and gave them a call. They quickly sent someone out to give me an estimate. I was impressed by David's professionalism and friendliness. Their quote was on par with others we had received, but what distinguished them in my evaluation was their responsiveness, excellent communication, and that they are a locally operated family business.  They upgraded our panel, installed grounding and added GCFI outlets to our century-old house. They also did a thorough checkup on our wiring, patiently answering my questions. The new panel and grounding was completed quickly in just one day.  David even went the extra mile to ensure our new panel passed inspection, taking care of things I wouldn't have even thought of. Claudia frequently kept me in the loop on the status of our project and worked with my schedule to ensure all work was completed in a timely manner.  When it comes to future projects, I'd definitely hire Shok Electric again. They've gained my trust, and I'd gladly recommend them to anyone who needs electrical work done. read more

We moved into a 100+ year old house that needed a lot of electrical work. Through the entire process David and Shok Electric were complete pro's. Their work is excellent, done quickly, and they've always been easy to communicate with. They broke down to us very clearly all the work we'd need done, how much it would cost, which work we should get done first and which we could wait on, and they have always been good to their word. We've had to work with a lot of different tradesmen on various parts of our house and Shok Electric was by far the best. Big recommend to them. read more

Woke up on a Sunday morning a few days before Thanksgiving and my entire home was experience electrical issues. I did everything I could to diagnose the issue myself but in the end I decided I needed to find an electrician on a Sunday morning. Not an easy task. The first few electricians I called were highly rated on Yelp. None worked on Sundays even the ones who claimed to be open 24/7. The soonest availability they had was Tuesday and Wednesday. Not a great timetable considering that my hot water heater, washer, oven and internet were not receiving power but a few lights were. I called Shok Electric as they were located in the San Fernando Valley and I knew they could be at my home quickly. A woman answered the phone and was extremely friendly, detailed oriented and took all of my information down. She told me that an electrician would be at my home within the hour, on a Sunday morning a few days before Thanksgiving! David arrived promptly within the hour and began to diagnose our issue. He looked at our electrical box, our sub panel and determined that the issue was a city issue. Shok Electric was more than fair with their fee and provided an exceptional value to us as this was an emergency call. David was so friendly, personable and took the time to show me what the issue was on his multimeter. Homeowners are always looking for reliable trades people to work on their house and Shok has definitely earned a spot at the top of my lists for all of my electrical needs. I cannot wait to have them back to do some wiring work for in the next few months. read more

These guys are honest and know what they're doing! I had hired a different company to upgrade my circuit panel. The other company never filed for a permit! We reached out to David (Shok Electric) and he saved us! He filed the proper paperwork and worked with DWP getting us up to date with the right permit. He also had to fix all the problems the other company had done. He also just yesterday came out because my garbage disposal switch stopped working. He said that it was just a button on the garbage disposal that had tripped. He refused to charge me! He said he was already in my neighborhood! Wow! I highly recommend this family owned biz!! His wife and son also work with him. My husband and I are so blessed that we found Shok Electric! read more

They really treat and communicate with you as if you were a family member. I am always able to get the services provided within the same week, and sometimes even the day of the request. Thank you David and Claudia! read more

We lost half the power to our house late on a weekday. I called around 10:30pm and David was here at 8am the next morning to investigate. He quickly diagnosed the issue and advised me that it was an LADWP issue and they needed ti come and fix it. If LADWP was half as reliable and responsive as David and Shok, we'd never have any problems with the grid. Will definitely be calling again next time I need electrical work. read more
