I called William this morning needing to know if he could come out and look at our bathroom outlet that wasn't working. I had never used his services but he was local and had good reviews. He asked for me to send pictures over of the gfci and panel. About 5 minutes after the pictures were sent he called me and started explaining how to properly wire the gfci. I was lost. So, I asked if he could explain everything again for my dad and he did. Then William stayed on the phone for 15 minutes walking my dad through the wiring. 15 minutes later and we had a working outlet! I am so happy that honest, good hearted people are still around. He saved us time and money and we are so grateful. He has earned us as customers for life. read more

If you're going to do electrical work you NEED to go with this guy. Straight forward, honest and detailed. You won't get better service. Thanks for your help Will! read more

I called William this morning thinking I was going to have a huge bill for an issue that I was unfamiliar with since the installation of my stand by generator. William had me send him pictures of my panels and install and explained now there's two with the transfer switch and literally talked me through fixing the issue myself! William also explained how the issue occurred. I don't know this man but I LOVE HIM! Very honest! I have kept his contact and will highly recommend him to anyone that needs work. William actually answers his phone! read more

Found William on Craigslist i think? anyway this guy was great! Yes he might be a little rough around the edges but this guy is good! His pricing was good, he got the job done and even two months later when we had an issue with the outside outlet he was super responsive and quick to address the issue. We were a little skeptical using him due to some of the reviews on here but don't let that deter you. He is a good guy and is honest. He's not like those super professional companies that up sale you. so if you're expecting that its not what you're going to get. Its a small company with honest work and affordable prices. Not sure what the last review was about by the way? He wasn't creepy at all? He's actually pretty funny and has an undeniable Jersey attitude. read more

I was looking for an electrician to help with flickering dimmer lights. I stumbled upon William. Instead of coming out to my house to troubleshoot, he literally walked me through the process (on the phone) to fix the issue. Not only did he save me the stress, but he saved me so much money. I cant thank him enough. Honest and resourceful! read more

Can't thank W C Electrical enough for your help especially on a Sunday! I reached out to several electrician companies on a Friday for electrical work that I needed done over the weekend. Most did not work on weekends or were too pricey. Spoke William and he said he would have Mario come out on Sunday morning. Mario was a true professional. Even though it was a Sunday, he did not rush anything. He took his time to make sure everything worked properly and explained everything in detail. He made sure to thoroughly clean up after himself and said to reached out if I needed any else or had any issues. Thank you again Mario and W C! You guys found a customer for life and I'll be sure to recommend you to anyone and everyone I know that needs electrical work!!!! Awesome job! read more

Do not even bother calling this service, really sarcastic and arrogant on the phone. I was calling to get quote on installing a 50 amp breaker, He quoted $800 without even asking for install location or how far from the panel, it was more important to justify why prices are too high. read more

Called Will this morning and they (together with Eric) arrived at my house earlier than the appointed time. They inspected the issue, which was more complex than I thought, made his recommendation and when I agreed, they started working on it and eventually got it fixed. Will and Eric are very professional, knowledgeable, and corteous. Will took his time thinking how to resolve the issue and was very honest with his dealing. Great job guys! Keep it up. read more

We had a specialized switch that was out. I called William at 4pm and he was in our office fixing things at 8am. Even called me at 7:30 to discuss the part and his timing. Honest guy. Does what he says he's going to do and super friendly. Very fairly priced. No problem recommending WC Electrical for anyone who may need a good electrician. Thanks again William! read more

William from WC Electrical is a no-frills, hard working electrician. I needed some troubleshooting with the hardwired smoke detectors, a few outlets in the garage, and an install of an external outlet. He gave me a reasonable estimate, went over all of the steps included in the time he was quoting. He arrived on time (actually a few minutes early) and got to work right away. Got the smoke detector issue solved in about 10 minutes. He found that the wiring for the garage outlets had been cut at some point and tried to troubleshoot for another 45 minutes. We talked about the situation and my options and gave me a few minutes to think it over while going to work on the outside outlet. After deciding not to further chase the issues with the garage outlet, he finished up the outside outlet, double checked all his work, and charged me for the 2 hours he was there. Overall great experience, reasonable pricing. William knows his stuff. read more

It was excellent working with William and his team for our residential electric needs. He will give you an accurate diagnosis of the problem and come in with a fair price. He is very transparent and will let you know your problem and the potential hurdles. When he hits a hurdle, you will know what it is and what he's going to do for you to make an informed decision as a homeowner. I got 9 estimates for services and he was not pushy to get hired and did not push for unnecessary premium options, unless that's what you want. I appreciated his timeliness, accuracy, and transparency. Pricing-wise, he is very reasonable and that is all you can ask for in a contractor. read more

We had a mystery electrical outage in our exterior lights. William and his apprentice Christian came to the rescue, finding the problems (there were 3) which started in 1973 and cascaded to result in the current outage. He saved us from a slowly evolving problem which was closing in on calamitous. Price was right for all the expertise and tenacity they showed. You can't go wrong with William of WC electrical. read more

On separate occasions, we attempted to install a recessed light and an outdoor plug only to short the electricity. William and his crew rectified the issues and got our electricity up and running. Called on William again when our new stove top required an outlet for the electric ignition. Couldn't be happier with their service. Look forward to working with them in the near future. read more

This is how service businesses should be. Straight-forward, no upselling, quick to respond, on time, quick work. I sent message on Yelp over the weekend for a quote not expecting a response until Monday, but I got a response almost immediately. Explained my problem, was given a straight answer and quote. Quotes were comparable to the other responses I got, so I decided to just make the appointment with WC since they gave the most straight-forward and quick response. Requested Monday morning appointment at 9. Arrived early at 8:45. Quick work. Explained everything. Will definitely use WC again when I need electrical service. read more

I called William on a Saturday for a problem, and he took time to try to troubleshoot it over the phone so he wouldn't have to come out and I wouldn't have to be charged. Unfortunately due to my limited knowledge we couldn't figure it out, so he came early Sunday and figured out he problem and fixed it immediately for me, and also gave me some advice for future upgrades or potential issues without being overly pushy or alarmist. Would definitely recommend for any issues, and will definitely be using William in the future. I get very excited when I use local businesses that are run properly and can get the job done. read more

This YELP review is long overdue. I've known Will for 6+ years. I first met him when I was living in Anaheim and I had a horrible , flaky electrician that I fired and was looking for a new one and I found Will. He came and finished everything in a timely manner and a great price. Since then I have referred him about 5+ friends houses for re-wires, troubleshooting and upgrades in the panel. Everyone has been happy with him. I had a little emergency in one of my rental properties yesterday, I called Will and he came over within 1 hour. Best part Will figured out the problem within minutes. Had nothing to do with my house, it was a bad meter and the city replaced it next day for free!! Will wouldn't even take my money for the service call until I had to threaten to punch him in his gut LOL... Great guy !! Here is the deal with Will, he's an old school New Yorker type of guy. Some people might get offended or think he is harsh but the guy is straight up cool. Super funny guy just have your guard down when your talking to him and you'll see what I mean. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an honest electrician and doesn't want to get taken advantage off. W C Electrical 5 Stars... read more

Found WC Electrical on Yelp. Skeptical about some of the other electricians that have way too many rave reviews and sound too good to be true. WC was local and responded to my estimate request in less than an hour. We set a time for the following day. He called an hour and a half before our agreed upon time and asked if he could swing by. An electrician that shows up early? Of course, come on by! The owner's son did all the work, but the owner supervised. I was happy with the work and the very reasonable price he charged. His estimate was 75% lower than the number one listed electrician by Yelp when searching my area. Need some other work done in the future and will more than likely be calling WC for that, too. read more

I called William around 1pm on a Saturday since my power was out and SCE told me that there were no reported outages. He answered and told me that he would come by after his current job. Good on his word, he came out and told me that the power was out due to an accident involving a light pole. He checked my box even though it was a neighborhood outage. And he was very nice and didn't charge me for the visit. I will definitely call him for future electrical problems. He was good humored about the power outage and just checking the box. A really nice guy! read more

WC came to offer a very reasonable quote for installing 3 ceiling fans which required wiring the switches to power as well as installing cabling and power outlets for my TV wall mount. Gotta love the New Jersey charm. Highly recommend and will use again read more

Very nice and prompt service! Honest work with affordable,reliable work. Will definitely be using this service again!

William was able to provide a quote for me to replace some gfci outlets and was also able to come out the next day. He called me before he came and he and his helper replaced the outlets and cleaned up any mess they made after. Good service and prices. read more

This is the previous message I received from the business owner. Note that he states he does charge for estimates and then called me childish: Hello Bruce this is william sometimes professionals do make mistakes and I thought you were somebody else I get a lot of requests for quotes some I charge for some I do not but to give me a one star review for making a mistake well that's just childish good luck in your endeavors have a good night read more

I am sure glad I called this guy he came out on short notice did a great job and charged a great price . Was real nice so I really recommend him. I will be using him in the future. read more

Fast and very reasonable. Had a bit of an emergency at a rental property - showed up early, replaced the breaker and no problems. Will definitely keep WC on speed dial for all my electrical concerns. read more

I haven't received actual servicing from William yet, but I did call him to ask about an electrical issue i was having regarding my bathroom ceiling fan, all the others I called just told me that they had to come in and charge me to fix it. On the other hand, William was very kind enough and honest enough and knowledgeable enough to tell me how to fix it myself, which I did. Who does that? He has gained a new customer as well as my trust. Thanks William. read more

I had an outage at my house and called to see if I could get someone down to check it out. The electrician was incredibly friendly and took time out of his day to answer/provide us advice about our issue free of charge. read more

My kitchen lights--long fluorescent lights--were flashing in a strange way. I called William and he was able to diagnose the issue even before coming out. In just a couple of days William and his assistant came over at the appointed time and did a great job fixing the issue within just one hour. read more

William helped us with a difficult troubleshoot involving 25 year old breakers and old shoddy electrical installation. He eventually found the problem and fixed the issue. It was not an easy job but he figured it out and the house power is working 100%. He even fixed some older outlets that had not been working. Thanks William! read more

A great electrician is so hard to find, so I'm thrilled to have found William! Last week, my dad's house in Downey had some electrical issues with the front and side porch lights. William came out to the house within an hour of my call. He met with my 85 year old dad to diagnosis the problems. After looking at the front porch light, William didn't find a problem. So he plugged in a light bulb, and it worked fine. The problem wasn't electrical, it was the 3 bad light bulbs that were tried before! The side porch light has a broken part that needs to be replaced. William quoted dad a very reasonable cost for the part and a return visit. He'll be back on Monday to fix that light. After he left dad's, William called me with a summary of the service call. He wasn't charging a fee for this visit to replace the front porch light bulb "especially for a senior citizen, that'd be just wrong". And he let me know that he'll return on Monday to fix the second porch light. My dad likes William and described him as very professional and "a nice guy". Which is quite a compliment coming from him. I'd recommend William to anyone needing an electrician that knows his stuff and is a great person! read more

The house outlets were off in both the bed room and living room and the board switches are just fine. Puzzle and many inconveniences with the problem. From Yelp, found Mr. William and called at 10 am this morning. He answered immediately and promised to come by at 4 pm. I came back early and texted to him. He came by to check at 3:05 pm. Within around 20 minutes, he finally identified the burned out outlet, man, it is not easy since the Cerritos wires are aluminum! The service charge is reasonable and the result is all the outlets are working now. I will highly recommend the W.C. Electrical Services and will call him for the future house troubles. read more

I asked him to come over today to help me out with a difficult switch troubleshoot involving he figured it out and fixed it he did a great job thanks Will for the help.. You can count on Will to get the work done right.. Ill be calling him for more repairs in the future that's for sure......") read more

I made an appointment for William to come out and replace a flood light/motion detector I broke while trying to clean it. He noticed he was going to run a few minutes later than the scheduled appointment and promptly phoned me to tell me so. Wow! Professionalism! I so appreciated that. He still arrived at the right time and did a great job replacing the light. He is both professional and personable. I wish every contractor I have to deal with could be as efficient and pleasant as William! I highly recommend his work if you have electrical needs. Thanks, William, I shall definitely call you should we have another electrical issue! read more

Called to have a patio light removed. He said he was coming at 8:30 AM .he showed up early 8 am. How about that , handymen are never on time and he was early he did a fantastic job very nice person, no problems at all. he kept apologizing because it wouldn't even take him an hour but he would have to charge me for one hour good prices I will definitely use him in the future and I recommend him to anybody looking to have work done. I still can't believe it he was early read more

William was able to figure out the problem and completed the work sooner than he expected. Charged me less than original quote since it wasn't as much work as he originally thought. read more

Did not show up at appointment time. When I called - put his wife on the phone and came up with a phony reason that truck was broken down on the freeway. He lives 2 miles from my house so I think he just forgot and would not admit it. I offered to reschedule but she just refused. Very weird behavior. It would have been okay to just come and say he forgot the appointment (happens to the best of us) and rescheduled. But he was Flaky AND dishonest. Would not recommend read more

I called around for quotes to do my 200 amp upgrade, most quoting 2500 +/- a few hundred. Then I contacted William, he asked a lot of questions in regard to my upgrade as to give me the most accurate quote possible. After speaking with him for 20-25 min. Or so I was pleased with his quote and time frame. He performed the work as expected and on time. I couldn't be happier with his work, very clean and thorough. Roughly a week later I noticed a few outlets in my garage were not working, being the only change was the upgrade I called William and talked to him about the issue. He immediately said he would come and take a look at it but was confident his work was done correctly. He then gave me over the phone advice what to look for and any possible issues (still thinking it was the panel) I described what the breaker was doing and he put me right on the problem. I had an old garage outlet was bad causing the breaker to trip. Fixed it myself and saved some money. William is a knowledgeable electrical technician, he saves you money from those cookie cutter companies by eliminating the middle man. I would feel 100% confident recommending William to anyone. read more

This company really knows their business. Recently the owner became very ill with broncial pnuemonia and was unable to finish the project do to a hospital stay. This stuff is pandemic and california is the worst. This didn't bother me at all and the project has been finished. The problem was a very old electrical panel that had to be replaced. The other problem was the whole entire house needed rewiring. The wireing was from eons ago. New wireing and a new Circuit panel did the trick. Good Job WC Electrical. Thank You. read more

Contacted him via Yelp EARLY (6:30 am) on a Sunday morning because we had sparks coming out of an electrical outlet. William was here within an hour and charged what I felt was a very reasonable price for an emergency call out on a Sunday morning. Thanks so much! Definitely will be using him in the future read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! He started the job like a normal person would. After about 15 minutes into it I hear someone smashing something on my front lawn. I walk outside and see the owner smashing his phone on his ladder, swearing and then throwing it on the ground saying it won't work. I ask him to leave and he asks why and said he was just trying to fix his phone. He's just an angry person that can't control his temper even as a grown man. Sad. He then tries to charge me $100 for the "work" he already did. Use someone else. read more
