    Outdoor lamp post

    Extremely professional service. A knowledgeable electrician in his craft. Ed came out and gave me an estimate and was able to do the job right after the quote in 100 degrees weather. I appreciate your professionalism and will continue to do business with your company. Thanks for the outdoor post lamp, much appreciated.

    New ceiling fan installed

    I hired Ed to install a new fan and recessed lighting. Ed is an excellent electrician--professional, tidy, and respectful of my home. He and his partner, Cesar, did an outstanding job. I'm thrilled to have found a reliable electrician for any future needs and will definitely call him again. I rated Ed and his team five stars and will highly recommend them to all my friends. I'm very satisfied with their service.

    Fixed Panel

    Eddie replaced my breakers and resolved the issues quickly. Other electricians sold my wife an AC disconnect but the breakers were burning. Eddie fixed it under 30 mins and charged much less than anyone.

    NEMA 14-50R
    Gerald W.

    Prodded by a recent article in my Family Motor Coaching Magazine (FMC Aug 2018) about adding a residential RV electrical box, I decided to add 50 amp RV service. None of the electrical contractors mentioned this service in their resumes and my magazine had devoted much of the article to ensuring the importance that the electrician knows what he's doing and the consequences of extensive damage to your rig and appliances if done wrong. The article listed the NEMA codes for both 30 amp and 50 amp service and warned that industrial / welding connections are the same amperage but are wired completely different. They said it was very important that the electrician knew what he was doing. After reviewing Yelp I decided to contact 1-Step Up Electrical due to their high ratings and being local to my area. I contacted the owner Ed and he came out later that day to review and give a quote. Ed mentioned that he was very familiar with RV wiring and it would not be a problem. Having the warnings from the article in my mind I thought it prudent to confirm the NEMA code anyway just to make sure. The NEMA code for 50 Amp RV service is 14-50R. Another electrician came out on the scheduled day and in less than an hour had our connection completed. I had to tell him which way the plug is positioned (round pin up) (RED FLAG WARNING) and I asked him to check the amperage to ensure there were 120 watts per side and 240 for both. I did not have the coach at the house to check that the plug matched but everything else checked out so I paid him and sent him on his way. The magazine article had also addressed the problem of faulty electrical boxes encountered in campgrounds by recommending testing the connection for proper wiring before plugging in to avoid damage to the RV and appliances. I bought an in-line 50 amp Connection Tester / Surge Protector on Amazon which arrived a couple of days after the RV connection was added. Guest what - the plug and the connection were completely different (see pictures). I-Step Up had installed a 50 amp industrial connection not the RV connection requested. I called Ed received an apology and the tech came out promptly and put the proper connection in. All good now and thank you for rectifying the problem quickly. The point of this review is just to warn the consumer to not take things for granted and for the contractors to make sure they know what they are doing when working with various connection configurations.

    Patio fans

    We called to have an estimate on installing electricity to a covered patio for three outdoor fans and an electrical socket installed. In addition, we wanted to replace two light/fans and a ceiling canned light in our master bath. Ed Verdugo returned the call within one hour and came out within two days to provide an estimate. He was honest and fair with his bid. The next week he and his crew installed everything we asked for plus repaired an additional lighting outlet box. They were professional, polite, and cleaned up after they were finished. We will definitely contact Ed for future work that we need. Thank you Ed!

Every time, he has been reliable, knowledgeable, and efficient. It's hard to find someone you can trust, but David (and Espy's Electrical services team) is definitely our go-to electrician. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality electrical work and outstanding customer service!

From the very beginning, Anthony was flexible with scheduling, professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about his work. I was having problems with several light fixtures due to ballast issues, and Anthony helped convert the lighting in both my front patio and kitchen to LED ballast-bypass. He did an excellent job, and everything came out great. What I appreciated even more was that Anthony didn't just come in, do the job, and leave. He took the time to explain what he was doing and even taught me what type of replacement bulbs I would need in the future. Since the particular ballast-bypass bulbs can be difficult to find locally, he was even kind enough to lend me some spare bulbs until I could purchase the correct ones. That kind of thoughtfulness and customer service really stood out to me. I would highly recommend AP Electrical Services to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy electrician. Anthony is very reasonable with his pricing and straightforward when quoting a project. Most importantly, you get the feeling that he genuinely wants to solve your electrical problem and take care of his customers--not find ways to unnecessarily increase the bill. If you're looking for an electrician who is knowledgeable, dependable, honest, and reasonably priced, give Anthony at AP Electrical Services a call. You'll be in good hands. I will definitely be calling him again for any future electrical work!
