Van's Electric
Lyla D.

Thanks to the praises and honesty from fellow Yeeps, our need for electrical troubleshooting and repair was answered. Our neighborhood had recently experienced a blackout but when power returned we noticed that some our light switches and electric receptacles weren't responding as before. We replaced lightbulbs and checked our fuses before we decided to call in the professionals! So, what would any self respecting Yeep do to find a trustworthy, dedicated, cost efficient and friendly professional service? Yelp to the rescue! We called Van's Electric yesterday and Van squeezed us in this morning. What seemed to be an "easy" and simple troubleshooting call, this visit turned into quite a puzzle. Our house isn't THAT old, ok, about 20 years old but was built by licensed contractors and subcontractors. Van found that whoever wired our home had done some "funky" things like shortcutting. Our worries and fears were that of possible electrical shorts that lead to fire. Sure enough, Van showed us the wiring problems that had the potential of leading to a short. While he was in our home, we asked Van to change out several receptacles, too. Van is very knowledgeable, thorough, honest and methodical. He spent a couple of hours decrypting our electrical troubles and his price for services were reasonable.

Van came within hours of my call. He did the work promptly and charged a reasonable amount for the work he did.

He explained why one of the ceiling fans could not be installed in the family room because the ceiling was too low. Instead, he installed it in the den. Ethan D was very professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Ethan D as your electrician for your next electrical project.

We hired E I Electrical to replace a few switches in our condo because our previous electrician was…read moreacquired by this company. They were able to come and inspect the work within a short notice and provided us with an on-site estimate. Everything seemed satisfactory until I was informed that the estimate would include a yearly fee for any future work. This fee would automatically provide us with a built-in discount for subsequent services. This was the first indication that something was amiss. Why would I want to pay an annual fee for work that had already been completed? Another peculiar aspect of their pricing was the flat rate fixed price for each item. They offered a similar approach to car repairs, where a flat rate is charged for parts like a quarter panel or hood. For an outlet in a switch, they had a flat fixed rate. They assured us that this included labor and materials. However, they failed to mention that they sourced the cheapest possible materials. They also stated that I could purchase the materials myself, but I lacked the time to do so. Consequently, I ended up having cheap switches, even though the price seemed exorbitant in my opinion. Given the urgency of the project, I had no choice but to agree. However, this is when the problems began. The project was initially promised to be completed in a day and a half or two at the most. Surprisingly, it took four days to complete the work. They arrived at the site by midday every day and proceeded to shop for materials for that day. Essentially, they had four half-day workdays. The workmanship was rated a 4.5 out of 10 on a scale of 1 to 10. The finish work was quite disappointing. They made numerous holes and neglected to save the drywall pieces to fit them back in, leaving me with a mess of mismatched drywall. They claimed they didn't typically put it back, but they didn't inform me of this when I agreed to hire them. To make matters worse, when I tried to reach the office staff or another representative they initially mistook me for a salesperson or someone trying to hassle me until I proved my identity as a customer. This was quite frustrating. It seemed like they prioritized their profits over my satisfaction. The phone representative kept talking and refused to listen. I don't believe he knew how to listen effectively. Fortunately, I received a call from the owner one day. He was quite pleasant, but it was evident that he has a personnel issue. I would never hired this company again and would never recommend them to anyone. On top of the shoddy work and unethical behavior, they attempted to double-charge me for my services. I noticed a second charge for a similar amount on my credit card, and initially, they denied it. I insisted they investigate the matter, as I had sent them a screenshot of my credit card. Eventually, they admitted to the mistake reversed the charges. Neither the owner nor the project manager called to apologize. In my opinion, their work, ethics, and overall business practices are extremely sloppy, unfriendly to customers, and unprofessional.

Add fast, reliable and affordable, and that was our wonderful experience with this new company. Bruce was a wealth of knowledge as we walked thru plans to do a mix of work that included replacing a gfci plug and old altar lighting, installing exterior security and patio lighting, and adding interior ceiling lights in the open living/dining rooms. He asked about the brightness we wanted and found us LED lights that had different options as well as a dimmer function. On the day of install his team went the extra mile to avoid external conduit on the external lights where possible and used a nice cover trim on the other. When our 2nd story floor joists became a small obstacle for our interior ceiling lights it could have meant holes and drywall work. But thanks to the experience and thoughtfulness of Almighty Electrical the lighting was completely installed without issue that same afternoon! As an added bonus they came up with a fun lighting option for our back patio that gives us the added choice of white light or party colors! Almighty Electrical did an amazing job from the smallest of tasks to the most complicated. I am so excited to come home and enjoy the external security lighting and the versatile indoor lighting every day! These pictures don't do justice to the work they did, but if you give Bruce a call Almighty Electrical can get you excited about your electrical needs too!

As usual, on time, professional and they always arrive smiling and Vern breaks out into song from time to time, which just makes me smile. I had a pendant light installed and a couple of extra outlets. Everything looks awesome. Their work is always done to perfection and their attention to detail is impeccable. Bruce and his team are awesome, honest, very responsive and they are all genuinely great guys. I strongly recommend Almighty Electrical & will always use them for any electrical work I need done. Thank you again.

Mahalo to Peter and Josh!…read more During the busy holiday season and with Christmas lights hanging around the house, you do not want the outlets around the house to quit working. Searched on YELP for an electrician. Peter Gomez reached out via phone. He was professional and answered my questions. Arranged for Josh to come out the next morning to take a look at the outlets. Arrived in a timely manner and called me of his arrival. After inspecting the areas, he knew what the issue was and completed it within time provided. He also walked around checking on other possible not working outlets and found it all working properly. Josh is a local boy, very young and very knowledgeable. "Word of mouth" is part of my helping others and supporting local. This is one company that I would like everyone to know that they are awesome. Please give them a call or visit their website for more information.

Unfortunately, Peter canceled this work just a few days prior to when the work was to begin. This left me scrambling around to try to find another electrician to complete our project. I feel that by canceling at the last minute, it wasn't very professional on his part. I'm really surprised that Peter canceled as we were just communicating the day before he canceled and everything was confirmed.
