Joey is a LIFESAVER. My wife and I recently had a temp fence for our dogs, getting ready for construction. And it turned out one of the poles hit a power line underneath, running from the house to the garage. Power was shorted on one of our switches and would pop through the conduit. Not knowing what to do, Joey came out to our house within half an hour and instantly diagnosed the problem, found the outlet, and safely cut off power to the garage. He told us it does need to get fixed, which it will during construction, but didn't charge us a DIME to do this. Joey easily could have charged us anything he wanted, but being a local guy, he literally tells us, 'I do local jobs in the city to help the community.' I appreciate and thank you personally, Joey, for being upfront and honest with us. read more

Joey was great. Clean, efficient, and very quick and professional service. He didn't try to upsell me and explained everything in detail. His price was very good and honestly it feels like a bargain, especially after seeing the completed project, compared to others. I will definitely be reaching out to him first on other projects and absolutely recommend him. read more

Joey is the man!!! I was trying to find an electrician to get my electrical outlet replaced in my kitchen. Called alot of places through yelp and the price for getting a simple GFCI outlet replaced was just everywhere. I called wood electric and joey picked up and i told joey that i was trying to get my outlet replaced in my kitchen. He told me to text him my number and address and he will get back to me. He stopped by my house did an awesome job of replacing the outlet. I thought i could replace it myself by watching youtube. But after getting shocked nope not doing that again. After what i saw joey do to replace the outlet. this was not a simple youtube clip fix. there were some other stuff that needed to be done. I will definitely call Wood electric/Joey for any and all electric needs for my house. Thank you Joey for a quick fix and prompt scheduling. read more

I called today, and the person who answered the phone was so nice. I sent him a picture of circuit box and he knew the problem right away and he patiently walk me through the process. Highly highly recommended!! read more

Excellent response time and knowledge, fixed my home electrical issues quickly and was respectful.

I called Joey today about my Circuit Breaker issues in our house. He said to text him a couple of pictures of the inside and the outside of my circuit breaker box. I was genuinely surprised by him after looking at the pictures, he already knew what to do. He explained to me that he needs to remove and replace the entire circuit breaker with a new one and gave me a price quote. In addition, I got so lucky the he has an opening and he could do the job at noon today. Fast forward after he finished the job, I was so happy and relieved that every outlet plugs, lights etc are all working fine. Joey did an awesome job. I can't thank him enough. I appreciate it so very much. I highly recommend Joey to anyone out there that has electrical issues/problems that their experiencing at their house. You won't be disappointed! Thanks, Ahron Ace read more

My pool motor wouldn't start. I troubleshot my pump and timer, but it turned out something with the electrical wiring. Joey came out, and he figured out what the issue was within minutes. Very informative throughout the process while he was working on it. I can now start cleaning my pool! read more

I had some work done by Wood Electric in November of 2014. I had some plumbing issue recently and had to have some additional work done under the house. When my plumbers went under the house, they identified some of the 220v lines that Wood Electric put in back in 2014 were not strapped properly, touching the ground and draped over existing plumbing. I reached out to Joey and he asked for photos of this issue. I supplied them, which were obvious to see. He was initially very supportive, but never followed through on getting the work corrected and recently has avoided texts and phone calls. After posting this review, I received a text from Joey that same day. He arranged for an appointment the following morning. His crew arrived on time and resolved the concern. The crazy thing is it took less than 5 minutes to resolve! read more

I sure appreciate an honest company! I was in need of some help quickly with replacing a panel that had sparked and was obsolete. I called a company, while they seemed totally professional (using a service to advise you of how much the estimate will cost... ect.. very slick) the fact was the estimate was $6,600 to replace and repair. This just didn't seem right. I paid the $75 for his estimate and told him I needed to get another quote. At this point, he began talking about being able to "work on the price" I guess I'm a little naive, but I just assumed when you give someone your price, that is the best you can do, and you believe it to be fair and accurate. I got a completely different feel from Joey, who answered the phone himself, listened to the problem, then suggested I send a photo. He knew exactly what needed to be done, went out same day and charged me $675. He did a VERY good job and I will be calling him from here on out! read more

Gave a call to Joey because half the outlets of my house were not working. Joey was honest and referred me to Edison because they could come to the house and inspect the problem for free. But after further analyzing the problem Joey was NICE enough to stop by the house and inspect the problem FREE OF CHARGE. 20 mins later Joey arrived and determined that the previous owner who did the electrical work left it unsafe and he referred me to Edison. I wanna give thanks to Joey for being honest and kind enough to take the time out of his busy schedule to visit my home and inspect the problem when he didn't have to. Thank you. read more

I cannot recommend Wood Electric highly enough. We wanted recessed lights out in the living room of our new house, and after sorting through a handful of estimates, Wood Electric seemed to be the best reviewed and had a very reasonable price. Joey came out on a Sunday for a quick visit to take a look at our place. Even though I had told him I was looking at 4-6 lights he didn't try to upsell me and told me four would be perfect. He explained the kind of lights he uses, where they would go and why. He followed up via email and text and made arrangements for the project the following week. Sure enough, he arrived midday while I was at work, stayed in touch with me by text and sent me a few photos as soon as the job was done just a few hours later. The lights look great, the dimmer looks and works great and he will be the first call I make for any future electrical needs. He should be your first call as well. read more

Service was prompt. We had an emergency and these guys came through. Cost effective, professional and friendly. They are definitely our new guys for all of our electrical needs. Thanks Joey and Sean. You guys saved our party. read more

Joey and his crew saved the day for us the Friday before the Labor Day holiday weekend. Our air conditioner disconnect panel had fried wires and shut down our system. We also had 12 people coming from out of town to stay with us so it was indeed a personal and safety emergency. Thankfully Joey came right over, diagnosed the root cause of the problem, fixed the damaged disconnect and got our air back on for the weekend. Saved ! During his visit Joey also showed us how the root cause of our problem was a faulty Zinsco main electric panel. These were discontinued in the 70's due to being a fire and electrocution hazard. Our fried wires because of the faulty main circuit breaker not working was a classic example of this malfunction. We thank God that our house didn't catch on fire as there was most certainly an electrical fire burning in our wall. (see picture). Joey and his crew then came back on Labor Day morning and installed a new Square-D main panel, and only had the power off for 3 hours to do so. They were very clean and made nice clean cuts of the stucco surrounding the new panel which will make the patchwork nicer too. Joey then referred me to a guy to do the stucco patchwork for a reasonable price after the new panel was installed. Wood Electric is an excellent business and deserves your support. I highly recommend them and will call them first in the future. read more

I have been talking to the owner with little to no response for 3 weeks now about an easy service call I tried to hire him to do, he is unresponsive, unreliable and unprofessional. I would consider hiring a company with better communication and results if you want your money's worth. This is a total rip off and after 3 weeks I have hired someone else because I can not seem to get in touch with this company after 12 emails, 8 phone calls and countless text messages as requested on his voice mail message. read more

So our ac unit decided to stop working we had called many different electrician companies and they all said sorry it won't be until next week and we have a newborn daughter as well and needed it fixed ASAP! I called wood electric and they had two men inspect out breaker box within 30 mins of me hanging up the phone! They took one look at the box and knew right away what our issue was! They replaced the buss bar and upgraded our unit. These guys are quick with what they do they're very down to earth and will get the job done right the first time and they finished the job within a couple hours! Also they were thee most cost efficient company I was able to locate on Yelp. Thank you to Joey and his guys for helping my family out when we needed it. I would highly recommend this company to anyone. read more

It was turning dark at about 6pm yesterday when my a/c kicked on and half the power in my house went out, mainly all the 2nd floor and all the lights. I immediately go into panic mode since I have three young kids and a wife that are all afraid of the dark so I called wood electric to receive service. Wood electric responded immediately and we quickly set up a time and estimate of the job to be completed with only a phone call and three pictures. Once Wood electric arrived they quickly got to work and all is well in our home less than 24 hours after the issue begun. I would definitely be reaching out to Wood electric again in the future for any electrical needs. Great service, great communication, and great pricing the technician knew what he was doing and provide excellent service and care. 5 stars! read more

This is a reply to the person who replied to my posting. No I do not work for Martin Electric, nor am I affiliated with them in any way. What you just did is report a hard working guy who has a family. I hope you can sleep at night. I was pissed at you for not picking up your phone when I called. I was pissed because you didn't even call me to tell me ANYTHING. Instead I had to scramble again to find someone and I did. What's worse is that your business is less than 1 mile from where I live. So as far as I'm concerned, you have no excuses. Terrible work ethic and terrible person. Do not use this guy! read more

Called Joey yesterday for a new gfci outlet. He came by today installed a new circuit breaker and had the outlet ready in about 45 min. Price was what he quoted on the phone. Great service overall I'll call him whenever I need work done on my mickey mouse wired house. Side note this is my first review I think but 8 reviews come on guys these small businesses could use a review. No one is gonna read your 1000th review for Gen bbq. read more

Hot summer is here and there is always a problem when running AC all day. Finally the main breaker gave in and half of my house was without power. I gave Joey a call in the afternoon and he picked up right away and explained the problem. In a few hours he was at my house, already 8:30 at night. Thirty minutes later the whole house has power again including my AC. Thanks Joey for the quick response and reasonable price. Highly recommended ( : read more

Really excellent choice. Bought a new house and had to have the entire thing rewired from the original knob and tube wiring from the early 1900s. Not only were they there on time, or early, every day but they coordinated with my other repairs to make things go as smoothly as possible. Joey also was able to do a few other things around the house not specifically related to the electric. It was also really nice to have the same team of very pleasant and hardworking people there every day. They gave me a great price and realistic time frame. Five stars all the way. read more

Joey came out on a Saturday and replaced a light switch. Reliable, friendly, and did a great job. read more

Very knowledgeable. He knew what was wrong just by a description of what was going on over the phone. They came on time and worked fast. Will def use them again!! Not pricy at all! read more

Had a weekend power issue in my living room and Joe from Wood electric was there to help. He was timely and communicated well so to set cost expectations. He arrived quick for weekend, was honest, and thorough. I will use their service again. read more

Joey and his crew were on time and professional. After calling him for a general quote he stopped by the house the same day and gave me a specific quote for the job I needed done. He's straight and to the point with his quotes and tells it like it is. He was able to upgrade my panel to a 200 amp panel and pull wires for an AC and Furnace. After getting quotes from multiple electricians Joey's was the most reasonable. read more

I first talked to "Joey" just before Thanksgiving about having 30amp wiring ran to my new AC unit. He told me he was all booked up with "Big" jobs and wouldn't be able to get to me until January. I said I was not in a hurry and would wait and I asked that if someone cancelled, could he let me know and get me in. He told me he would put me on his board when he got back to his office. WRONG: I called him a week later to confirm he remembered to list me on his board. Left a message as it seems Joey doesn't answer his phone. His answering machine says to text him and he will get right back to you. five calls and two texts from November until now and not one returned call. Now I can only assume my job was too small for him. He only wants BIG jobs. That's all well and good, but its common courtesy to at least call back and say so. For those potential big job customers, I wonder if after the jobs are done and a problem comes up, will he answer your calls. Last text I sent this week Joey, I talked to you just before Thanksgiving to run 30amp wire for my new ACC unit. You told me that you could not get to it before January. Could you please call me at xxxxxxxxxxx to let me know how soon you can do it. I have not called anyone else as I gave you my word that I would wait for you to do it. Thanks Ron Wilson read more

I called Joey in a Friday night and asked if he could come to my elderly mother's house early on Saturday morning. Joey showed up when he said he would and diagnosed and replaced a failed circuit breaker on a 40 + year old panel. Joey was very professional and very fair in his pricing. I would not hesitate to recommend Joey to anyone who needs an emergency home service call. Fair and quick service. Thanks Joey. read more

While work was never done on my rental, my interaction with Joey was outstanding. My tenants were complaining of power surges/outages and I called Wood Electric. Joey came out, did a thorough investigation, and came to the conclusion the tenant was overloading the circuits by having too many items plugged into several power strips at one time for his computers, printers etc. We gave the tenant the findings and advised them to sort it out by removing some of the items and power strips. In addition, I wasn't charged for his visit because he told me no actual work was done. I was amazed and very grateful. I would certainly call him again and would definitely recommend him. read more

Needed a new electrical panel for home. They did a great job with installation and instructed me on how to operate. Clean install using quality parts. Great upgrade from original panel. Highly recommend! read more

Man am I happy to have found Joey and his company! Company was attentive, knows urgency, and pulled their strings to get the job done. They really go above and beyond to make their customers happy. Will be using Wood Electric for our business needs moving forward. read more

Joey is very professional when it comes to work. He will arrive on-time and will talk to you with respect. His doesn't charge that much compare to other electricians. I asked him to replace my electric panel and re-wire my kitchen and install recessed lights and everything works perfect. He even offer to install the lights for free. When the inspector came to check out the rough wiring, he even explain it to him everything and follow what the city requires. I cannot recommend Wood Electric highly enough. read more

Wood Electric is very reliable, knowledgable, & has great prices. Used Joey on a home I sold in Norwalk, Its extremely hard to find an electrician that will do the work first and get paid thru escrow ( most won't) , He upgraded the main electrical box and we closed escrow on time. I would recommend Wood Electric 110% #norwalk #electricians read more

I recently had an issue with one of my bathrooms exhaust fans where it gave out. The fan had been installed by a family member who we hired just a couple months ago to do the job, but obviously he didn't do it right. Lesson learned on hiring family. I called Joey at Wood Electric since I had him do a new panel on my house a couple years ago and considering that this was electrical work. I called him blindly not even knowing if this was something that he did or not. When I spoke to Joey, he mentioned that this isn't something that they normally do but since I was an existing customer, he would do it for me. This was an absolute blessing. Joey took care of me before and took care of me again, so he came over to the rescue. I went with his recommendation on the exhaust fan, a larger more powerful fan. He did have to cut into my ceiling a bit and go up into the attic but within a half hour he had finished the job. He was amazing! The fan works great and one less thing for me to worry about. His price was great the first time around and great this time too. Joey is super chill and totally down to earth. It's an absolute pleasure interacting with him. We talked about both our home remodels, family, business and many other things. It's like talking to a friend who you've had for a long time. He's fantastic! I can't say enough good things about him and the wonderful service he provides. Thank you Joey for coming to my rescue and taking care of my family and I. You are phenomenal and I wish you success and all the best to you and your family. You have a customer for life, and I would be foolish not to call on you when the need arises again, you can count on that one. I look forward to doing business with you again. My best to you always. Thank you for the great work buddy! read more

I don't often write reviews on Yelp but Wood Electric earned this raving review. Against three other bids for a panel replacement that my home was due, Joey (the owner) BY FAR offered the lowest price bid against other vendors we were considering. Some reviews have indicated that he doesn't immediately get back to his customers and scheduling is difficult, which can be seen as a negative. To be fair to those reviewers, scheduling CAN be a challenge with Wood Electric. However, this is a reflection of the demand from other various clients because of the quality of work they show when they do their projects. As a consumer, it's worth the additional persistence to work with Wood Electric, even if there is some challenges in scheduling. Once the project(s) is/are complete, it would have been worth the additional phone calls and text messages. Joey and his crew are professional, hard working contractors who do things correctly and efficiently. Contractors generally get a bad rap, but Joey and his crew have shown otherwise. My panel project resulted in an unforeseen issue with one of my kitchen outlets due to poor quality of work from a previous contractor. Joey was willing to take on the additional project of fixing this issue, despite his ridiculously busy schedule. He was even kind enough not to charge extra due to some of the inconvenience in trying to schedule with him (disclaimer: this probably doesn't happen too often with his customers!). I would definitely recommend them for any electrical projects that are needed. read more

Extremely happy with the workmanship and customer service. They were worth every penny.

Joey and his crew were outstanding. Joey actually came to my house shortly after i called on a Sunday and was able to restore power to my house and then within days replaced my panel on an emergency basis. He even tracked down a faulty installation of my AC which was causing interruptions. I would highly recommend them and would definitely hire them again. read more

Had a new breaker Box install good fair price they were here and done in under 5 hours.

This is a follow up. Although I struggled with Joey to schedule a time to complete the work, he really came through for us. His Team turned up on time and did a great job. I will use Wood Electric again and wood recommend his services. read more

I called Wood electric to inquire about getting some electrical work done at my house. Joey answered and told me to text him my name and address and he would call me back that night to talk more about it. It's been a week and I haven't gotten a call. If he didn't want the work or is too busy the least he can do is text me and let me know. This is very unprofessional. I called Blueman and AM&G electric and they both came out right away to give me an estimate. I'm going to hire one of them and pay them the $4000 for the job and I'm also referring them to my 2 coworkers and father in law who also want panel upgrades and other miscellaneous work. I will never again call Wood electric again. read more

I first contacted Wood Electric when I needed my electrical panel replaced as it was constantly giving me issues. Joey (owner) came to my house and gave me an estimate at a great price. He also quoted me for some recess lighting for the house. Joey and his crew arrived on the day of the job on time and were very professional as they worked on the house and took care of it as if it was their own. Joey and his guys are very knowledgeable and have been in business for quite some time and shows In their workmanship. He even gave me some suggestions that I can do to improve the efficiency around the home. I have already recommended Wood Electric to family and friends. I will definitely be calling them again for future work. read more

During the recent rain event I lost power at my house. I called Wood Electric at 5:00 AM. I couldn't leave a message, I planned to call later. Before I could call the back they texted me as to how they could help. After we traded a few texts, they were able to come out at 9:00 AAm to resolve the problem. This was an example of outstanding customer service that was very much appreciated! read more
