    EV Charger install with a dedicated 60amp breaker. Works flawlessly, looks great.
    Jeremy W.

    Edwin and his team have done a lot of work at our house. Wired EV charger install, malfunctioning plugs, trenching, you name it. He's knowledgeable and honest, and does nice clean work. Highly recommended.

    ABSOLUTE LIFESAVERS. A million stars from me - quick responses, great pricing, and really thoughtful staff. (My apartment looked like a wreck and my electricians still took the time to lay down drop cloths to keep things tidy, which is very sweet!!!) I had planned to swap my light fixtures myself, but noped out VERY quickly after about 10 seconds of looking more closely at my apartment's ancient wiring. Edwin was able to fit me in SUPER last minute and his team handled the two pendants in my hallway and my bathroom sconce in under an hour. I can't imagine opting for a different electrician - they're just THE BEST. :)

    I've been using Edwin Merino's little company for several years now. Edwin is hands on and meticulous. He lays down plastic and/or drop cloths so the area/carpet/bedding stay clean. He places ceiling lights, pendants right where I want them. He also disposes of all trash when he departs. These are the 2 key features I look for when hiring an electrician. That and a current license :) On those rare occasions when he sends his guys, I have NOT been disappointed. On the rare occasion when something didn't turn out as I had hoped, Edwin has been great at resolving issues.

    Broken smoke detector.

After today's service, I had some technical questions for future reference and he thoroughly talked me through everything. He's very personable and does good work and I'm very grateful he could get this resolved today.

Scheduling with them initially was a little confusing - first we were messaging through Yelp, then text, then they sent me to their website. They were communicative but I never knew which channel to reach out to first. They did come out quickly which was appreciated. The first two gentleman that came to replace my fan and fix my ceiling light were not great. They would look at something, and then disappear and call someone and be on the phone with someone while they were looking at the fan or light fixture, almost like they were calling someone and asking them what they should do. Shouldn't they know? They were at my house for HOURS. WAY longer than I think they should have been. They would just look at the light fixture and talk to each other for like 5 minutes, then step out to make a phone call, then come back and start working on it. Over and over and over. They took a brand new fan out of the box and replaced it, but it wobbled like crazy (turns out they just didn't put the fan together really well because the second guys that came back made it much better). When they replaced my dimmer switch and celiing light, it looked AWFUL. Wasn't flush to the ceiling at all. They told me just to patch it, but this clearly needed more than a patch! I couldn't believe they just left it like that. I called and told them I was unhappy with their work, and they offered to come back and fix it. The second guys that came back were in and out so fast. They fixed the light and it looks perfect, just as it should. Clearly the first guys that came out had no idea what they were doing. Disappointed to have had a less than stellar experience, considering how highly reviewed they are. It must depend on what service folks you have come out to actually do the work.

I called Ready Electric and was immediately met with such professionalism. They came to my house within two hours of me calling.

The technician who came by was pleasant, but when he heard we wanted a complete rewire, he did not even inspect the property or the amp panel. He just ballparked us a random number that made absolutely no sense. It was when I asked him to do an inspection to review the scope of work that he half heartedly opened a few outlets and said "ok, we're just going to replace them." In the end he gave me a quote verbally and never even sent me an actual quote that was promised. I would be extremely careful working with this company or choosing them for any high level electric work. If you review them on BBB or the California licensing board, you'll see that the owner is C-10 licensed but his workers are contractors who are working under his license. In comparing them to other electric companies in SGV in which the workers are licensed, this company uses just random contractors so the quality of your work varies.

    This review is long overdue…read more My husband and I bought our house in 2022 and the first things we wanted to do was install our car charger and have someone look at our old electric to figure out if we needed to prioritize upgrades. Primo was the third company we reached out to for estimates and we chose them off of good vibes and competitive prices. I'm grateful for it. These guys are solid, honest people and won't recommend things you don't need. In fact, if you have a wild idea for something that is unnecessary or costly, they'll tell you up front so you know in advance. In addition to doing things the right way, they're respectful. I've chatted with a few companies about various house projects and David and Jesse treated me (a woman) like my input matters just as much as my husband's. It signals competence, excellence, and professionalism when, even though I say "my husband is the boss," a contractor checks with me just in case. And, it prevents arguments down the road. We've rehired Primo for light fixture swaps, outlet adds, new switch fixtures, and we plan to hire them for our upcoming upgrades because they're all around good people who do good work. Primo is a business that you root for, and are proud to support as a customer. We'll continue to work with Primo on our electric needs for all of these reasons and more. Thanks, guys!
