We needed an electrician to upgrade our existing 100A electrical panel to a 200A unit as well as get a few smaller electrical things done, and after seeing all of the great yelp reviews for SoCal Electric I decided to pick up the phone. I wasn't disappointed. Joe quoted me a price for everything, and then proceeded to show me simpler, cheaper ways to accomplish some of the smaller jobs on my own, saving me a few hundred bucks at his own expense. He was more than willing to work around my busy schedule on the panel and coordinated all of the city inspections for me. Joe was very professional, and made sure to clean up after himself each day that he was in the house or the back yard. I felt that his pricing was fair for the huge job, especially since I had another guy come out and quote me almost double for the same work. I'll be calling SoCal Electric again for any other electrical work I need done. Thanks Joe! read more

Joe came by to asses some issues I had from a recent electricians work. The issues were obviously putting my house at risk and we are so glad to have such a thorough and attentive electrician come by to correct and make sure everything was safe and done right. Will be using and recommending him to anyone I know that needs a great and honest electrician. read more

We hired Joseph Gigliotti to update the lighting in our new home. We added can lighting in several rooms, put dimmer switches, moved a ceiling fan and added a control switch for the fan. We also moved our dining room lighting and installed our antique chandler from Spain. We were extremely happy with the results. We so appreciated Joseph taking the time to help us design each of our rooms electrical needs. He gave us estimated prices for each room in advance, and discussed the many options available. His professionalism, friendly approach, and design talents were exactly what we needed to make our home our own. I highly recommend his company for your all your lighting needs. The work was done within the time frame he gave us and they were prompt, clean, and we weren't left with a mess to clean up. read more

I called SoCal Electric after hours because we accidentally drilled through a breaker and lost all power. Joe was extremely accommodating and was able to come within 45 minutes. He explained every step of his process, gave us options and was able to fix our problem. He had given us an estimate over the phone and we appreciated his transparency with pricing. I called 12 electricians and he was the only one who came through for me. Amazing, amazing, amazing experience! read more

We have been working with Joe since BEFORE he opened his own business. It is such a pleasure working with him on his own now. He always does the work we need and leaves our house clean. We have been very happy with his professionalism as well. He has been very good with communicating what is needed in the future but staying focused on the project at hand. I would ALWAYS recommend him for any electrical issues. read more

Haven't had time to give Joe a great review until someone asked for a reliable local electrician and I remembered Joe w SoCal Electric. Super nice guy and goes the extra mile to explain every detail of work performed. Prices are very reasonable and he was the fastest electrician to respond to my requests for an estimate to replace my electrical panel. His professionalism and prompt service is now a rare find in today's service industry. Give him a call for any electrical needs, you will be glad you did. read more

I contacted SoCal Electric(SCE) to check out an old electrical panel of mine. I had a previous electrician *strongly* recommend that I replace the panel for a tune of $1250. I thought that seemed high so a neighbor gave me SCE's contact info and advised me to see what they had to say. Long story short - a SCE tech came out, took a look at the panel and told me clearly that while it would be 'best' to replace the panel it wasn't fully necessary. I appreciated the tech's honesty and asked him what should be done instead. He said we could do with a much lower cost replacement of a few parts, and that that would be a good solution. In less than 24 hours, he had replaced the parts and also checked out a few other electrical issues he noticed. The tech completed all of the work quickly, efficiently and kept me in the loop via calls and texts (since I was at work). I came home to find fantastic work all done. SCE's professional staff, excellent, honest work deeply impressed me. I am definitely going back to SCE for any future issues, and I highly recommend to anyone in the area to contact SCE for any of your electrical needs. read more

I had 5 electrical jobs around the house, and called three different companies to get estimates. One guy never showed up, the second guy gave me an hourly rate, but wouldn't tell me how long he expected it to take, but Joe showed up on time, had a great attitude, and gave me a breakdown of how much the total project would cost. It wasn't cheap, but it was done right, and Joe was very open about explaining everything he was doing along the way. He gave options for each job (an economical price, and a higher quality price) without any up-selling. He also pointed out a few areas of concern with other electrical connections that were not related to the projects I hired him for. It's been a few months since we hired Joe, and everything is working great, just as promised. read more

I called SoCal Electric in the morning and the technician came in just a couple hours. It's nice because they will call to confirm with you around 30 mins before they arrive. My house had a problem with the outlets and Joe came to help me. He is very nice, friendly and works as professional. I would recommend SoCal Electric to anyone. Thank you! read more

Joe was incredibly amazing in every aspect!! Beyond knowledgeable, and professionalism is his middle name! He will break everything down for you so your anxiety will go away if you are like me. :) He made a bad situation turn better as soon as he arrived! Very contagious smile/personality. Worked hard while at out home. Made my family feel comfortable and even played with my pups a bit. NO ONE PLAYS WITH MY BIG DOGS! He did without a question. Dogs know good people and they were loving him! SoCal Electric, this man deserves every great thing that comes his way and hopefully someone important see's this and is able to commend this gentlemen for the amazing work he does. I will be coming back for upgrades and for any other problems in the future thanks to Joe, Cheers!! read more

I hired Joe about six months ago to upgrade the main panel and install can lighting in a few rooms. He gave a range of repair/upgrade options and explained the cost breakdown of each. repair/upgrade options ranged from the basic necessities($) to all the bells and whistles($$$). The prices were competitive, I received about 3-4 quotes and his was in the middle. he does not try to pressure or upsell you. I was leaning towards the top option but he recommended that i take the lower, cheaper option. He said the lower option would be enough for my needs (2 people in the house) and advised that i try it out for a few months and if i needed to upgrade, the price would the difference between the two options (no additional service fee). Joe said it would be paying for something i do not need. So i went with the cheaper option . **six months in and no issues at all - no upgrade needed** Joe and his team were on time and completed the job as promised. I recommend Joe/Socal and i would hire them again. He is honest, competitively priced, and does quality work. read more

Joe can to fix some old light fixtures in 2 bathrooms. I was in a rush as I was having guest for this coming weekend and he made himself available though he had personal plans. Accessed the lighting issue, explained it, and offered options from economic to full upgrade. Did the job in a timely manner, neatly and well done. Will definitely call Joe next time I need an electrician! read more

Wonderful experience with this company. Joey made a special effort to fit me in his schedule. Other places I called made no effort to accommodate my schedule. Great trouble shooting skills and fair price. Highly recommend. Other friends have used him as well and all have been very happy. read more

I met Joe this past May through HomeAdvisor.com. He was among several electricians that submitted a bid to do work at my home. In the end, Joe won out on the bid based on several factors. Firstly, Joe spent about three times as long on the walk-through, answering all my questions and took detailed notes on the work I wanted done. Secondly, he offered the best warranty for completed work. Thirdly, he was easy to reach via email and cellphone, answered all of my follow-up questions I had, despite him being on another job. He was candid with his bid breakdown which he submitted quickly. It was not the lowest bid but was not the highest either. I felt the price was reasonable and that our meeting was both engaging and that he was truly committed to my project. Joe showed up on time and completed the work requested in a timely manner. During his time at my home he was professional and cleaned up the site after the work was done. Despite a minor snag on the job he corrected the misunderstanding without complaint and completed it free of labor charge. These things happen and I could not be happier with the work he did. Joe was eager to do the work. He did not cut corners just to take on the work. He did not tack on extra costs after accepting the work, which is a major concern on all contract bids I need done at my home. I am very satisfied with what he did at my home. Again, I would recommend him to anyone who needs electrical work done. Thanks Joe! read more

Joe came out within a day to get an outdoor outlet fixed. Very nice, knowledgeable, and willing to explain everything. I changed my mind as to what I wanted done a couple times on the spot but Joe didn't get frustrated and just went with the flow and kept a great attitude. Will definitely use again in the future. read more

Great job by So Cal Electric. Joe came out to check on a bad circuit breaker. It was not an easy fix as he had to trouble shoot what damage had occurred as the old circuit breaker failed & did not trip and fried some wiring. Joe was very professional, friendly and answered questions I had and offered recommendations on how we could repair everything. The price was fair as well. Great work. I will definitely contact So Cal Electric for any other electrical needs & would highly recommend them! read more

I contacted SoCal Electric after contacting another company and was told it would be 3 weeks before they could come out. I was lucky enough to get in contact with Joe. Joe was able to come out to my house the same day and assess the situation and came back the next morning to fix my electrical problem. My family and I couldn't have been more happy with the great service we received from Joe. I would highly recommend SoCal Electric to anyone who needs any electrical work done. read more

We needed our kitchen lights/switch fixed. Called SoCal Electric in the morning and Joe wad able to come by the later in the day. I appreciated that he wanted to get our lights fixed on the same day, squeezing us into his schedule after 5pm. He was very professional and took the time to explain to us the electrical issues. Will definitely hire him again for other electrical needs. read more

I hired SoCal Electric to install a chandelier which also led to swapping out the old light switch to make the chandelier dimmable... Great work, would def recommend their services. read more

SoCal Electric was an excellent company to work with. My wife and I recently bought a house and Joe was kindly enough to come out and give us the honest truth. He provides great prices and quality service. Communication is great between him and the customers and works well with others when there is more than one person on property. So Cal Electric is familiar with all types of wiring and electric problems in the household including knob and tube (my house). Not many people would touch knob and tube, so if you have an older home, call SoCal Electric to give you a bid to take out that fire hazard old wires. I would highly recommend SoCal Electric to anyone who is looking to get a quality job, competitive prices, and service like no other. Thanks SoCal Electric for taking care of all of our needs in our new home! read more

We needed a GFCI weatherproof outlet installed outside and wanted to use someone local. We contacted a few different electricians. SoCal Electric responded the quickest.
