Great Experience! James came to our house to provide an estimate to bring power to a Moen Leak detector outside our house and gave us a very fair price on the installation. I was concerned about adding an outlet to our faux stone veneer on our exterior but James sank the outlet into the stone so it was close to flush and made it look great. While at our house we asked James to look at another project in our house: install an outlet in what is called the "Butler's Pantry." We had no power in this area for years and another electrician said he wouldn't do the work as it required going through a tile backsplash. James came up with a perfect inexpensive workaround and that was to add an outlet to the switch and he did the work on the spot. It also looks great. We would definitely recommend Young's Electrical. read more

Young's scheduled Andrew to quote our "estimate only" job first thing in the morning for overhead lights in our barn. He called ahead of our appointment and arrived as he promised. We thought to get other quotes but decided to go with them. Andrew returned 3 hours later and finished the work by 1pm to our complete satisfaction. Second time we've relied on Young's and are very pleased with their results. read more

Our outside lights quit working, and the electrician diagnosed the problem and did a great job fixing the problem - rewiring a feed to one of the lights that went underground. Very professional and serviced very promptly. Reasonably priced. Will definitely use this company again. read more

Great company easy to work with. Awesome prices. They were able to fit me in right away and fix my electrical problem almost immediately. I would definitely use them again. read more

I've had new electrical done by Young's and repaired existing. When my existing went out, they made it out super fast so I wasn't with out AC over night. I'd highly recommend them and would use them again in a heart beat. read more

This is the 3rd or 4th time I've used Young's and they're great. They've re-wired switches and outlets in my rental property, installed a light fixture out side and changed out all our lights at home to LED. They are great with communication, call to let you know when they're on the way, they let you know what's going on while they're doing the work, and they're prices are not outrageous. I'll be a customer of theirs for as long as I'm living in their service areas. read more

11/7/2018: The City Of Placerville Building Inspector, JV Campos visited my house today inspecting the solar HVAC System installed. Westhaven Solar stepped away getting a bite to eat at Raley's while waiting for Mr. Campos' arrival. While waiting, Mr. Campos quietly inspected James Young's Diode LED installation . . . Mr. Campos nodded his head as a sign of approval quipping, "Nice." Whatever "nice" means, right? At least, Mr. Campos didn't comment anything negative WHICH IS A GOOD THING, right? I must state I held my breath as I observed him reviewing tracing wire connections from left to the right side above the refrigerator with his eyes looking back and forth~EEEEK! THEN-Mr. Campos stated, "Interesting." Walked outside towards the electrical service panel inspecting all the extra amperages recently installed; he walked around to the backyard subtly looking at all the added illumination then, he stated he wanted to check the attic access . . . Oh, boy~Sweating bricks NOW! While checking the attic, Mr. Campos inspected the HVAC PLUS, he inadvertently began inspecting the electrical wiring installed . . . Still sweating ton o' bricks~SHISH! Finally, he went into my backyard whipping his head upward staring at the motion detector light muttering, "Ok-yes~That's alright." OOOOF~I need taking a shower after Mr. Campos inspected my house for installation code violations, building code errors, and missing installation codes; the HVAC system installation had a few errors BUT, James Young and Tyson's electrical installations, "Flawless!" read more

See all

Great customer service and quality work, thanks for the Transfer switch installation!

Youngs came out and gave me a competitive bid. We set a date and they showed up on time and did the job in the time they needed. The work was well done. They cleaned up and left my home looking great. Couldn't ask for more! read more

Wouldn't deal with anyone else. They are amazing. Explains what you need and great customer service

Wasted 3.5 hours of my life for nothing. I had an appointment with James between 12-3 at a flip . At almost 3pm I called the office to ask about it and they told that he was going to be late. He came almost at 3:30, didn't say anything about the time, just said "why am I here for" I told him again, he walked around for like 3 minutes. I was walking around the place when I saw that he was gone. Never heard from him again. Very disrespectful and not recommended read more

Young's electric did it again. When I talk to people about customer service, Young's is some I bring up as an example of what people should expect and reward for quality work, done right the first time, and standing behind that work. We had a weird electrical issue after having a roofing company install a whole house fan as part of a roofing package. Fast forward 9 months and we start having issues with a tripping circuit that shut down the fan and our AC. I called Hanna at Young's and they sent James out the same day, realized the load on the circuit was to much, something the other company didn't look for, and then replaced the circuit free of charge. I expected to pay for the service, after they sent James out the same day I called, within hours, saying they didn't want us without AC when it is getting hot outside. But nope, James said he was happy to help us out and he stood by the job he did over 3 years ago, no charge. He gets my recommendation for anyone in East Sac to up the hills in Placerville and beyond that has an electrical need. read more

Recently had These folks to my house for a small but important job. They needed to replace the ballasts on a large Kitchen lighting fixture so it could accept LED tubes and install a new light fixture on my kitchen porch. First of all Hannah who answers the phones is an awesome soul...very kind and efficient and helped me get thing set up even after I had to cancel once. Andrew came to do the work... he was on time, very kind and very efficient. Got the work done within an hour and charged me a fair price. I have used Youngs before to install a whole house generator and I recommended many of my friends to these fine folks. They do solid work and clean up after themselves and don't rob you. YES is the best! Arleen H. read more

We have an old house from the 60's with many electrical issues. They are a great service, arrived on time, handled everything professionally and quickly. Everything was fixed and works great! I highly recommend Andrew, he did a great job and was very friendly and kind. I will definitely be using them any time we need electrical work. read more

Young's Electric is the only company we use for our electrical work. They are knowledgeable, timely and reasonably priced. Young's electric when working at our home alerted us to an unsafe electric circuit breaker box which we were unaware of saving us from a potentially catastrophic fire hazard. My wife and I readily recommend Young's without reservation. They have good the extra mile in communicating with us and keeping us informed about arrival time. read more

Had James install a transfer switch for our generator because we were tired of running extension cords through the house whenever the power went out (being a PG&E customer, this isn't uncommon). His work was done quickly, professionally, efficiently, and met our demands/desires 100% at a more than reasonable price. They are a local company, and after my dealing with them, there is nobody else I would call for electrical work now. If you're debating a transfer switch, or any other electrical work, I would stop reading this review and give them a call. read more

Young's Electrical Services - Transfer switch installed by James - Electricians Near Me - Placerville, California

Young's electricians are very pleasant and personable. They did a great job both times they've done work at my house. They're tidy and don't leave bits of wire or whatever lying around which I appreciate. They're also fast and don't "go out for parts". They arrive with everything they need for a job. Their scheduler is fantastic too and does great follow up. Nice to find 1980's customer service once again. read more

Some of our electrical outlets quit working. Young's Electric came out and quickly found the problem and got it fixed. He then informed us of other options that we could take advantage of to make some things easier and more convenient. We highly recommend this knowledgeable and professional company. read more

Giving you all an update. I had left a 5 star review for Youngs Electric when James came out to my house for a electrical outlet that had popped in my garage causing a spark. I had just moved into my home, and that really worried me. James arrived and started diagnosing the problem. He went out to my electric panel and said that he strongly advised I needed a whole new panel, he said the one that I had there was a recall back in the 90's due to it catching on fire. I didn't question it, being a first time homeowner and trusting. It cost 1,900 and some. I remember looking at the panel after he left and being confused by the way he labeled it. Not knowing any better, I didn't call him on it, I just felt relieved and felt I dodged a possible fire now that I had the new panel. It wasn't till last week when I had to go out to the panel because I kept having a breaker trip everytime I put the swamp cooler on. I didn't use my swamp cooler first few years I lived here, only a couple times. So last week, it tripped several times, turning off everything in family room, hallway lights, porch lights, garage door and lights, everything in my spare room and of course the swamp cooler. The last time I went outside to flip the switch, which was a 15amp switch for all that I listed, the switch was so hot to the touch! That scared me! I called first thing in the morning and Hannah was very nice and got James to give me a call, so I could tell him what was going on. He called and said he could come out next day to look. He showed up and seemed totally annoyed! I told him, I'm pretty sure that a swamp cooler needs its own switch and there's way too many on the 15amp, I also told and showed him how he labeled the panel and how it was incomplete and not legible. He said ya well looks like it faded, I said no it's not labeled. He then said, ya when he put the new panel in he just copied and wired everything exactly the same way it was. Then he said, well ya it should have its own switch. He then said, well it's not under warranty anymore, it's past 4yrs. I said well I feel it should have been correctly the first time. He then said, fine but I'm going to have to charge you a service fee, $150 for coming out to my house! He said he might have the part in his van. When he got the part and walked back to the panel, I said $150? I don't think that I should have to pay for something that should have been done the first time. He got so annoyed, said fine that's just fine I'm not worried about it whatever. It took him no more than 7 minutes to fix it! He said, turn your swamp cooler on, I went inside turned it on and waited...My boyfriend came inside and said, that guy is so unprofessional! He left, he just left! Got in his van and took off without saying another word! My house could've caught fire! I hope this review helps anyone looking for an honest professional electrician. That being said, I do not recommend Youngs Electric, and have no choice but to give a one star rating. Very disappointed. read more

Young's Electrical Services - This is the panel that James put in and this is how he labeled it! - Electricians Near Me - Placerville, California

We have used Young's Electric twice now. They are amazing! They always go above and beyond. They are on time and do a great job! Have recommended them to my best friend and family who has also had great service. read more

Our house is in Pollock Pines. We needed help with a small electrical project. An electrician we had used before looked at the job and said he would do it in 2 weeks. He never showed and did not answer our texts or phone calls. That's when I found Young's Electrical Services! They arrived on time to give us an estimate which was emailed to us within a few days. We scheduled the project (lights along our driveway) and added more for them to do (added electricity to a new shed). All was completed in the time frame we had agreed to. We then decided to have a whole house generator installed. Called Young's .... Done as desired. Years ago, we had been told there were loose wires under the house that needed attention... Done. I cannot stress how comfortable I feel working with them. Yesterday, I had a random question about the generator. I did not hesitate to call them. This is a family-owned business. Hannah is the phone contact, scheduler and etc. she is married to James, who worked on our generator, along with his brother, Andrew, who did all of the other work on his own. Do not hesitate to call Young's Electrical Services YES is the way to go. read more

After three other companies I was lucky to find Young's. They are straightforward, honest, reliable and I thought the pricing was really good. Thank you! read more

Highly recommend these guys! We bought a 1989 home with a ton of projects to do. From climbing in our attic to hang and install a 30 foot high chandelier to rewiring our water heater to make it more energy efficient, these guys did it all! Super knowledgeable and nice and communicated clearly throughout. Highly recommend! read more

They did a great job for me solving a backyard low voltage issue I had. They were proactive about helping me solve the problem and patient as we worked through the challenges the pool contractor left for us. Will be using them again for sure. read more

Nothing but good things to say about Young's from start to finish. OMG I will never use any other company. Not to say that the other company was bad, but service from Young's was soooooo exceptional. read more

After hours response, quick responses, they squeezed me in which was really appreciated. They addressed an additional problem I had as well. My outlet/light switch issues (DIY project needed an assist) we're quickly identified and resolved. Electrician was pleasant & professional. Will call them again if needed. read more

With all the emergency electrical shutoffs in 2019 and now the startup of rolling blackouts in August 2020, I felt it was time to 1) install a generator transfer switch and sub panel; and 2) update my entire antiquated electrical panel. After doing some research, I hired Young's Electrical Service. I am very happy with the job they did, which also included a new weather head and hub. Very efficient, professional and knowledgeable, and everyone was great to work with, from Hannah in the office, to James and Tyson. Since I had already purchased the generator, they even test ran it for me to help me feel comfortable with the new setup. I highly recommend Y.E.S. read more

Young's showed up on time, and acturally gave a heads up as to the estimated time of arrival as travel progressed. No waiting. No surprises. Perfect Clockwork. Young"s not only fixed the problem in an expeditious manner, but did some rewiring to extinguish any problems in the future, at no cost. Friendly, efficient, expert. My highest recommendation. read more

Great service as usual. Very responsive. There was a small issue with my TESLA Wall charger and called YES. They responded quickly. James made here in Pollock Pines a day sooner than the set appointment. It was an issue with the charger itself but he promptly diagnosed the issue and fixed it. Charger works great again! Highly recommended. read more

Our AC went out on the first hottest week of the year and my home warranty could not get someone to come out weeks out. I took it upon myself to look online and called Young's in desperate need of checking out the problem same day. James contacted me right away and fit me in the schedule 3hrs from the call. A rep came out and fixed our problem within minutes. All I have to say is Young's Electrical Services are A++++ and I can not thank you enough! read more

Pros: Estimate for installation of a new electric panel was done by a pleasant staff member, we were contacted quickly about the total cost, and the appointment was easy to make. They apologized for goop mess. James came back a month or so later to re-goop the intersection between pole and roof due to some water issues. Cons: Clean up of goop on the cement and the deck, plus leaving the old panel (FYI: we were told later that in order for them to have taken the old equipment, we should have put that in the contract for extra cost, tho that was never even mentioned during the estimate), and an issue with a hole left under the eaves where they had to put in the pole (which they left without notifying us that it was there - we discovered it later). However, we just discovered another issue today. The panel was not secured, instead of screwing it into a stud, it is just screwed into the siding. This is not a professional way to install an electric panel. We are sorely disappointed in this discovery, and due to it, I feel I must warn future customers. read more

We had electric in half of our house. First I was impressed by the receptionist. She actually cared about our problem and arranged to have a tech come out the same afternoon. Andrew was very timely and professional and was able to identify the issue quickly. I would recommend this company. read more

Love this guy! I've used him for probably 5 years now. He's fast, knowledgeable, and fair price. His business is family owned and operated, which is huge in these times. Big jobs and small ones he has never turned me down, and I can always trust the job is done right! If you want quality service, call Youngs! read more

James is awesome! Always finds a solution to my crazy requests. Only electrion I will use. Customer service, professionalism all read more

I want to be fair in this review and so just sharing facts that the business owner is already aware of. First is the fee: $315 for no more than an hour and a half. That's $200 per hour, for a non-licensed young man who had to call for instructions. This was labor only, noting that the product I purchased from Home Depot did not come with light bulbs I had to run out and buy them. (My late husband was an electrician and always supplied light bulbs when needed.) I am also unhappy that the technician did not fix one of my tasks-a glowing LED light. Business owner said he "doesn't do bandaids." Checked with PG&E and there are no issues with my electrical and the owner inferred rewiring. I'd rather have the bandaid since it is a harmless solution. Very disappointing. read more

We were tired of the hassle of using our gasoline powered generator especially with the increasing frequency of power outages in Placerville. We purchased a new Generac, propane-powered generator and hired James to wire it for us. He and his assistant were prompt, efficient, and charged a reasonable fee for the job. We couldn't have asked for better service. read more

These guys are AMAZING! Not only do they run their business very professional by texting reminders and confirmations of appointments, they are always on time and reasonably priced. This is coupled with a great vibe as nice and honest people. So in short--a double whammy of good business practices and personal service. James and Tyson came out yesterday to replace an old funky electrical panel and install an outside outlet. The work looks great and they were quick too. They were very polite and powered out multiple items at the same time. We are glad we found a great electrician in our new area cause we are going to need more work in the future on this 1947's farm... four paws up with my butt wiggling read more

After contacting several electricians with no call back, I made yet another call this morning to Young's Electrical Services. Not only did I get a call back within hours, I had two extremely capable, hardworking, and polite young men at our hours within hours to give us a quote. They gave me what I thought was a VERY reasonable quote and I expected to have to schedule another time for them to come back out, to my surprise they said they could do the work right there on the spot. I would have been impressed with the company without their ability to act so quickly, but the service from the moment I picked up the phone with Hannah to the job being complete was just fantastic. I will absolutely use Young's Electrical Services for any future needs - so thankful to have found them! read more

James is an absolute beast! Always delivers! He does all of our Residencial and Commercial electrical work. My business depends on my machinery being able to operate and everytime some goes down James finds a way to get us back up and running! I would recommend to everyone. Always does a killer job! read more

On Sunday we had several outlets that stopped working. Monday morning I called first thing the initial thing that caught me was the website page. When I called they wanted to schedule a few days later. I explained me wife was going to have surgery the next day. I was scheduled for a noon appointment, received a phone call around 8:30 Frank said he was on his way. We were updated on every aspect that took place. The price was better then we expected. I believe that Young's is a company that believes in the old school of work ethics. Quality work, great customer service, and pride in work completion. We will never use anyone else. read more
