I was in the process of having odds and ends cleaned up after removing the pool out of my backyard. It was essentially a Mickey Mouse electrical situation that had been brewing for close to 50 years. Called WC Electrical, needed it sorted out before I poured concrete. I was very impressed with the solid work all-around. Mario definitely had that swagger about him, but he backed it up by really knowing his stuff. Highly recommended! read more

For a second time, I highly recommend W C ElectricaI. I previously used this firm for another project two years ago and had a great experience with William and Mario. I recently contacted William again to have a wall switch installed for a ceiling fan because I thought the remote was broken (it would only sporadically turn the fan on and off, even with a new battery). Mario came out within a couple days and quickly identified that the issue was not the remote but poor wiring in the junction box (which was done by another electrician years ago). Since it was later in the evening, he came back a few days later to install the switch and fix the junction box wiring. What I appreciate about Mario is that he took the time to show me exactly what the issue was and explained how he was going to fix it. He is trustworthy and guarantees the quality of his work. The cost of the repair was very fair for the amount of work done. read more

I was looking for an electrician, so I used the Yelp app for a recommendation. Yelp recommended five electricians, W C Electrical Service being one of the five. I was able to find an electrician before W C Electrical responded. As a courtesy, I decided to inform the other electricians (which included W C Electrical) that I had found someone else for my project. In return I received this shocking, uncontrollable, and unprofessional response from W C Electrical: ( I could only imagine trying to resolve a possible project issue with this company. Please look at the negative reviews. This pattern of rude behavior is very consistent. CONSUMER BEWARE!) I was looking for an electrician, so I used the Yelp app for a recommendation.

Plugged in a charger to regenerate a portable battery when I heard a crackling sound coming from an outlet in the next room. Was it on fire? Immediately searched Yelp to find a local electrician. My neighbors on Yelp highly recommended WC Electrical so I called and spoke with William who knew exactly what was happening - faulty connection of old electric wiring. He told me how to stay safe and dispatched Mario the next morning. While he fixed the current problem, Mario outlined a few options I have moving forward to avoid future electrical problems. No pressure. Excellent, clean work. Friendly service. Peace of mind. Totally professional. WC Electrical is on top of my list for all my future electrical needs. read more

Very quick to respond, he was able to address my ceiling light flickering issue within an hour of receiving my call. Will definitely use again in the future! Thanks William! read more

I used this company for a panel upgrade. The owner, William, took his time to explain the entire process, price and expectations. Mario performed the work and did a great job. Mario was very professional and knowledgeable. He completed the work timely and neatly. I would recommend this company to friends and family. -Hugo read more

Prompt and got the job done when we needed it. Good communication. Mario was friendly and professional. Would definitely use again.

Such a great service. I needed to upgrade my sub-panel, they quoted me within 10mins, went through the details of what needs to be done. The quote was great compared to everything else I got. Scheduled the time and Mario, the technician, showed up right on time. He did a great job first covering the area, vacuuming as he was working. Even though he had to open up the drywall, he did a very clean job. Definitely recommend this company to anyone who needs electrical work. read more

William is one of the more knowledgeable electricians around. I don't think there's an issue that he can't figure out! His rates are comparable to other electricians around but what sets him apart is the guarantee you'll get that your problem will be fixed. He really knows his stuff and it shows by the meticulous details and explanations that goes with every repair. The guy explains exactly what is wrong and what needs to be done to fix the problem. Whether you have an old or modern system, I've found William to be able to be competent with both systems. 100% recommend! read more

William and Mario were great to work with. We needed a Tesla Wall Charger installed and upgrade our electrical panel from 100amp to 200amp. They did a fantastic job dealing with the city's convoluted permitting process. The city made us move the meter to the other side of the house during the meter spot check. They came up with a clever solution that likely saved me hundreds of dollars in labor. They converted the old panel into a sub-panel and installed the 200amp panel where the city wanted it. We are happy with the end product. They are passionate about their work and it shows. Highly, highly recommended. They will be my go to guys for any electrical work. read more

This guy is flat out rude and very poor at business etiquette. See his nasty rude messages to me. The guy would not come out to give me an estimate. He kept telling me to send pictures of this, videos of that, and when I did it was "I need another one". That's why I asked for an "IN PERSON ESTIMATE." When I told him I was no longer home, he told Me to send it later. Like I won't be making dinner, carding for children, homework ect. I've never dealt with a business person who was so arrogant and demanding. Due to his conduct, I thanked him for his time and said I do not feel we are a good fit. Then he went Karen on me sending me a message on Yelp because I told him I didn't want to work with him. Thank God I listened to my gut! What a mess he would have been to deal with. I'll attach his nasty message for all to see who he really is. read more

W C Electrical Services - This is how he talks to potential customers. Sad. Mean person. - Electricians Near Me - Cerritos, California

William contacted me right away and Mario came out on a Sunday to estimate the work! Very professional, very compassionate, but also very realistic. He explained the amount of work needed in a way I could understand, and he also gave suggestions of different ideas for my lighting needs. Mario was very neat, clean and considerate of my home and possessions. He also did his work, and didn't bother me. Great worker, I will definitely hire them again! read more

Fast response time and scheduling. Mario did an excellent job on my property for an exterior outlet and exterior sconce lighting. He explained the process and gave me options to save money on the type of materials I could chose to use. The final finishing touches are what I was most impressed with. I left Mario before the job was complete, returned home and 100% satisfied. read more

Had an emergency electrical situation late this afternoon, 8/25/22. An outlet was alarmingly hot after shorting out and the breaker switches were warming as well. Rather than wait til morning I looked up services on Yelp and found this listing, promising 24/7 emergency electrical services. Decided to call around 7pm, and owner William answered. Asked for photos of the problem for an estimate and got a quote over the phone shortly after sending them while we were speaking. Told me a technician would source necessary parts and be arriving within an hour. And he did. Mario was on time and courteous and quick. Very kind and happy to explain what was going on as he went through his work. Payment was simple right through the Zelle app on my phone. Well worth it to keep the house running smoothly and safely. read more

Our power went out and after Edison confirmed it wasn't an outage, we started calling around to see if anyone could come out and help since our maintenance people on site weren't responding. The person who answered when I called informed me that they unfortunately didn't have anyone who could come out same day. However, they were kind enough to offer troubleshooting services over the phone for free. With a lot of back and forth, we were able to essentially figure out the issue through process of elimination. Once the maintenance person came out, we were able to restore power more quickly since we already knew the issue wasn't with our circuit box or power connection. I greatly appreciated the effort and help that this business provided even when they couldn't physically come out. read more

I reached out to William on a week when I was out of power on several outlets across the house connected to a GFCI outlet that tripped. On my own attempt, I decided to switch another GFCI outlet to replace this "defective" one, and instead of fixing a problem, I found myself now with 2 GFCI outlets that no longer worked. And worse yet, both had downstream outlets connected to my living and master bedroom, so there was no more internet, TV, phone chargers, or anything else connected to those outlets. William took a call from me on a Saturday and had such a thorough and organized manner with which he tackled this problem by troubleshooting with me on the phone. He gave me possible causes but also walked me through step by step where I should start and I sent him photos along the way. We found out at the end that I needed to reset my breaker, and I reinstalled the original GFCI outlets with all the proper wires in the Lines section then pushed the "Reset" button. It was incredible the patience and proficiency he showed as an electrician. You can tell he is truly passionate about his work, but also just a kind man who's looking to help out. He did not ask for money in return, when I fixed all the outlets with his help over the phone. Just an incredible guy and an asset to our community, really makes me feel that there are still good people out there. He services most areas around Cerritos and Downey. Will definitely return to him for any electrical related work! read more

They installed a ceiling fan in our daughter's bedroom. They did a great job. Quick, efficient and affordable. Would definitely recommend . read more

I had an issue with my electricity, William called me and helped me over the phone. He was very efficient, professional, friendly and most importantly, very honest and trustworthy. read more

All I can say is, go with Will and Mario all day!!! These guys are a class act. Not the cheapest, but after getting trusted quotes and having family friends say that his prices for the work are not the lowest but extremely fair is an understatement. THEIR WORK SPEAKS FOR ITSELF! Both the city inspector and the multiple Edison inspectors all passed us on the first time, each stating, wow, these guys did a really really great job, we don't have to redo or cite anything.. and in my opinion, that is WELL WORTH the money. You can be assured the work is done properly. Truly appreciative for these two!! read more

WC Electrical Services is the best. William knows all electrical. He was on time, actually a little early. He tested everything and determined what my electrical issue was. I would use WC Electrical any time I need a certified electrician. read more

I highly recommend this company and services to anyone that needs help with electrical issues. The power in my room went out while the whole house had power. Mario was helpful to diagnose and figure out that the issue was behind the wall and fixed it. He was respectful and kind enough to explain that the previous electrician didn't wire things properly. If you need any electrical services or diagnoses do not hesitate to reach out to WC. read more

Bad bad bad service!! Do not attempt to call. Very rude! Ask to come out and help and he was very sarcastic! Saying its too early to come out and keep in mind the buisness says 24/7! Take your business some where else! read more

Connecting with WC Electrical was a happy accident. I was looking to contact another company but forgot to uncheck the box that says send your projects to others. William from WC was the first to reach out to me so I shared with him what was going on. My husband had tried to do things himself but he kept causing more harm than good. I got on Yelp before he damaged everything. I have always dreaded the thought of having to call an electrician but William and Mario have changed my perspective. William was informative, upfront, and gave an estimate half of what I thought it would cost. We spoke to William at 4:00 on a Saturday afternoon and Mario showed up at 6:30 THE SAME DAY! Mario was stellar! He worked hard and non-stop for two hours sharing his knowledge with my husband all along the way!! Then, when Mario was done he cleaned everything up and vacuumed up his work area. These guys are top notch, five star. They will now be my go to and I will never look anywhere else for an electrician. I'm looking forward to getting all the odd electrical fixes done opposed to dreading them. Thank you William for your quick and thorough response and thank you Mario for the wonderful work that came with a friendly, personable attitude. Can't thank you guys enough. Edit to add: I read other reviews upset about William asking them to call. I was grateful William asked for a phone call to have a conversation about the details. He asked my husband questions, discussed different options and provide an accurate quote based off those details. The price did not change from the quote he gave to the price I paid. I would have hated for someone to come out, it not be within my budget and everyone's time is wasted. read more

I'm so thankful to William for helping me out. I sent a Yelp request at close to 11pm for what I thought was a blown circuit. William responded right away and asked me to call him so he could help me diagnose the problem. Meanwhile, some other quote responses said they could fix it for $280 flat price. William spent time with me on the phone to see if I could fix it on my own or if I truly needed somebody to come out. It turns out I just needed to put a little more effort into switching the breakers and the power came back on. I was seriously stressing about not being able to work from home tomorrow with the internet out. I am so grateful to him for the help and his time. He didn't ask to be compensated in any way. I offered, he refused. Who does that?! William does! I will definitely go to William for any electrical needs in the future. He has proven to me that he is trustworthy and kind and I'd be very glad to work with him. read more

I had a simple electrical issue with some canned lighting at my house. William responded right away, on the weekend, and walked me through some troubleshooting steps over the phone. He ended up sending Mario out to resolve the issue. Mario arrived the same day and was able to fix it within a matter of minutes. I appreciate how responsive William was and that this frustrating issue is now resolved. Thanks! read more

Diagnosed 90% of the issue over the phone. Quote was reasonable, and work was done within 2 days (would have been one day weather permitting). Added two outlets and spread the load out on an otherwise unsafe wiring situation. William was clear about the work, and executed the job within the time frame he provided. He and his helper were done within a few hours and left the kitchen and sink cleaner than when he left. Would recommend him to anyone. read more

Gave me some good advice and an honest estimate. Very thorough and experienced. May consider rewiring house.

Excellent experience. Looking for an extra star but I guess 5 is the highest. Talked to them on phone and William went through everything to make sure it wasn't just something like a tripped breaker or something that didn't need a service visit. He told me price up front and his guy was here within the hour and had it fixed quickly. I forgot his name but very friendly and professional.(guy with the nice Camaro) Any way they are now my first call. read more

I needed a licensed electrician asap! I purchased a brand new portable AC. As soon as it started getting nice and cool the power went off ... first time it was late at night then the next day again. I reached out to William who was so informative and kind. I know I had lots of questions but he never made me feel uncomfortable. I actually learned a lot and he helped me understand what I needed to do with my electrical panel. He suggested I get a window AC lower amps. I highly recommend William read more

WOW, 5/5 stars all around. William is exactly what he calls himself, a troubleshooting expert. Tried to change a chandelier in our home ourselves, however, ended up losing power to half the house. Called William to tell us our issues, and he spent the time to troubleshoot for us over the phone. He is extremely knowledgeable and after listening to what we had to say, he gave us a list of things that could have gone wrong. We did everything he suggested, and bing bang boom we fixed it! He explained things in layman's terms and made things so understandable. Truly, if you have any electrical issues, give William a call. He's extremely knowledgeable and will not waste your time at all. Thank you William for your help! read more

I contacted WC Electrical Services to inquire about have some outlets in my kitchen and bathroom replaced that were no longer working. When I reached out to them, I was informed that someone could arrive the following morning. Not only was William on time, he was early. What I had been putting off for so long took William under an hour to replace the outlets. He accepted my card for payment and my outlet problems were "NO MORE!" Thanks again WC Electrical! read more
