Rob and his team are terrific-quick, affordable, and quality work! Despite the fact that my project proved to be more complicated than we initially thought, they stuck it out and finished the project for the promised price. Much appreciated! read more

Had a great experience with Anchor Electric. Alfonso came out and swapped our AC breaker quickly and efficiently--no hassle, no wasted time. He was professional, knowledgeable, and clearly knew exactly what he was doing. It's always a relief finding someone you can trust to get the job done right the first time. Highly recommend Anchor Electric and especially Alfonso if you need electrical work done. read more

Anchor Electric - Electricians Near Me

Anchor Electric ROCKS! I had them out in October to install an EV car charger. Same day service! My tech was personable and efficient. My bill was very very competitive. And today, my car charger wouldnt charge my car so I called Rob the owner and he sent Alfonzo right over, who discovered I had a damaged breaker and he replaced it. Rob considered this a warrantied service and gave me HUGE discount. I cant say enough nice things - I highly recommend them!!! Honesty and Integrity are words that come to mind when I think of Anchor Electric 5 Stars read more

I had a problem with the track lighting in my outside office that I couldn't figure out. I found Anchor Electric on Yelp and gave them a call. They were able to figure out my problem over the phone and did it for free! No charge! That's really hard to find these days of prices going up everywhere. I highly recommend Anchor Electric.

We called Anchor Electric for help with our automatic timer that had gone out and they were able to come the next day. The electrician was kind and I felt safe with him around. He found that the rains earlier in the year had tripped our electrical box and all he needed to do was to pop it back (I don't recall exactly what it was called). It took him minutes to do. Later he pulled out and replaced the indoor timer we had for our front porch and garage lighting that had blown in a citywide power outage. Unfortunately we are still having issues with the new timer and cannot figure out how to work it. He tried to set it up for us but it still doesn't work as it should. Furthermore, their pricing was exorbitantly high for the work that was done. We aren't very happy with how much we paid for work that still doesn't really work as intended. Would not recommend. read more

Found this company on next door and explained I wanted about 7 bulbs replaced. The bathrooms have these hard to replace bulbs that are very high otherwise we would do it ourselves. I explained all this in detailed texts and whoever responded assumed the electrical was bad and said it wasn't worth the hassle and suggested we perform electrical work. I advised I think he misunderstood as these homes were only 6 years old and all the LED bulbs were burning out. Thought the response was rude and presumptive. Anyone know a good handyman in south OC area? Truly should have gone through some of these reviews. The ones that give an honest not so great experience are given pretty bluntly aggressive attacks by the owner ... which I can relate to my experience and I was simply inquiring...prices had not even been addressed yet. @Rob .. obviously I wasn't a customer. Read the text, lol. You or whomever refused to replace 7 bulbs stating the electrical was bad. I had even explained I already replaced two but the others were too high. Who would have been satisfied at this response? Literally who? You could have just politely said you were not interested .. absolutely acceptable, but instead you were rude and presumptive. Yelpers, please note the passive aggressiveness in business owner's response. I am stating facts and this is how he speaks to potential clients. Every review less than 4-5 stars seems to receive bullying. That's the worst part about relocating. You have to start all over in trying to establish relationships with good companies - so hard to find. We had the best electrician and plumber back in TX. Side note..whenever I see a lot of yelp reviews with little to no profile, friends, or other reviews you can't help but wonder if they are legit. read more

Anchor Electric - terrible first impression...can't believe nextdoor recommended - Electricians Near Me

I was having a problem with the lighting in my kitchen flashing which caused me worry and frustration with my spouse ( ) Anchor was referred to me by a friend. I gave them a call and spoke with Rob and sent him pictures and video. David came out the next day. He fixed the issue and was so pleasant to have in my home. Their pricing was reasonable. I was so happy to finally have the issue resolved. read more

I needed to have old fluorescent ceiling light's replaced with LEDs. One electrician quoted $500 labor + materials that weren't included. I spoke with Anchor on the phone and they told me to buy the LED bulbs and they'd re-wire the existing fixtures to bypass the ballasts. This saved me at least $200 in materials because I didn't need to buy new light fixtures. The Anchor electricians arrived 10 minutes early and reworked the lights fast. They even had time to repair an outdoor power receptacle that hasn't worked in years. Total was $180 + $40 for the parts that I purchased at CED (also highly recommended). The Anchor team is efficient, knowledgeable, honest and polite. I will definitely call them again for electrical repairs. read more

See all

I've known Rob for close to 20 years, and he and his team are always there when we need him. Good quality work, highly recommended.

I found Anchor through Yelp. I would not recommend them. I hired them to install two ceiling fans and a NEMA 14-50 adaptor. The adaptor is OK; as far as I know, I haven't been able to use it yet. The ceiling fan was installed in one room, the box with the old fan was left in the room, and the old remote was still screwed into the wall. In my experience, when you pay someone to remove and install something, they remove all of it, they haul away the old item, unless you request to keep it, the uninstall all parts. I had to ask the guy (Danny) to remove the old remote and ask him to remove the old fan. He brought the fan downstairs and put it in front of my front door????. The other guy then informed him that yes, they do haul away the old item. He left the new remote on the bed, with no question about whether I would like it installed on the wall. Installing the old fan took about 30 minutes, not counting having to ask him to remove all of the old parts. When it came to the charge, they attempted to charge me for an hour and a half to install the new fan. I disputed this and said it did not take him that long. I paid for an hour. There was no drama or anger; I simply said that did not take you an hour and a half; it was barely an hour. I'll pay for an hour. Were they trying to take advantage of a woman? The other fan did not come with a long enough down rod, so I needed to order that. They said they would come back and would not charge the fee to come out just the time it took to install the fan. While I wasn't happy with the service, I said OK because I didn't want to pay extra for a new person and have to find a new person. I made the appointment by calling. The appointment was accepted. Danny called the day before the appointment and canceled and said he was too busy. No attempt to reschedule. Do not book these amateurs. UPDATE - Don't you just love it when and owner comes back and blames the customer for their bad service? In Response to the owner. I was not rude nor did I blame your guys for anything. I did not have the down rod needed, my fault, I knew I would have to reschedule. Only one ceiling fan can be installed at a time, so there was no delay on my part. Is it rude to call out an overcharge? Apparently it is rude to you and your team if a woman stands up for herself saying she thinks charging and hour and a half for something that took 40 minutes is not acceptable. There was no yelling no berating, just saying I am not okay with paying more than the time that was used. AND I have never used Anchor Electric before and I never will again. read more

I started using Anchor Electric a couple of years ago, and I have been very happy with the work they have done. In March of this year, I had three outdoor lights replaced with day-to-dusk lights. Alfonso did an excellent job and was very careful with removing the old ones and attaching the new ones. He also tested them and made sure they were working properly. He explained to me how to change the settings if I wanted to. After that he addressed an issue with LED lighting I had in the kitchen. One light kept going out and the previous electrical company I hired who installed the original lights were not able to fix the problem. Alfonso identified the problem and came up with a great solution. Now it's working great. A couple of weeks ago, Dave was here and installed a new bathroom light fixture. He was very courteous and knew exactly what he was doing. He carefully removed the old fixture and just as carefully installed the new one, which I love. Anchor Electric is my go to electrician, and I recommend them to my friends. read more

Called them for a NEMA 14-50 outlet install in the garage. Asked a couple of questions about where the panel was located and where I wanted the installation. They quoted the price on phone, showed up promptly the next morning, and were professionally done in 1 hour. Very easy process. Highly recommend. read more

Anchor Electric - They came on time and were very knowledgeable. - Electricians Near Me

We got ahold of Anchor Electric from a referral from my neighbor. We needed a nemo 14-50 installed and after sending Robb a few photos, we agreed on the quote and set an appointment date. On the day of, Alfonzo arrived on time and got everything installed and tested out. Everything functioned perfectly!! Great customer experience and the work done was exceptional. I highly recommend Robb and his team! Great people to work with and honest! read more

We asked for an inside 240 electric plug be moved outside for electric vehicle use. Simple request. Mistakenly, I did not carefully check their work when performed. Instead, to make their clearly defined task simpler, this company disconnected our air conditioner and used that power for the electric vehicle plug. We rarely use our air conditioner, and travelled in the hot season the last two years, realizing the error made by Anchor two years later. Instead of working with us to rectify their error, Rob accused us of having an other electrician perform the work cutting off our air conditioner, despite having no incentive to do so or any other plausible explanation. He quickly got angry throwing around crazy accusations when there was no other explanation than Anchor's mistake. Rob does not communicate in a professional manner quickly escalated to anger using baseless accusations and does not take responsibility for his companies mistakes or errors. I'd stay clear of Anchor. read more

If you are looking for a professional company who gets the job done right the first time, give these guys a call! We had Dave come out to our home, he was courteous, professional and extremely knowledgeable. Setting up the appointment was easy, and Dave arrived on time!

My closet can light went out, so Rob sent out Alfonso that same morning, and easily replaced it....very efficient, fair pricing, knowledgable! I highly recommend! read more

I highly recommend Anchor electric. Alfonso came on time and corrected the immediate issues with blown fuses and the wiring problem. He is a knowledgeable, efficient, and skilled electrician but I especially loved his kind and gentle demeanor. Anchor Electric will be returning to add additional wiring, another outlet, and to replace outdated outlets. It's a blessing to work with an honest company with reasonable rates. read more

Avoid these guys. The electrician that came out was super nice and professional. However Rob tried to scam us. About two weeks ago I asked him to come out and do some work on our house. Something super simple. He quoted me a price. Then they came out did the work super quick and the price basically doubled. It actually took less time then he quoted me. So that's why it didn't make sense. I asked him to explain it and he started getting irate on the phone. Even my wife heard him. I was very polite and asked to understand the price. He told me I wouldn't understand how the price works. Really? It's labor plus parts Rob. He sounded very violent and I didn't want to escalate it. Paid it and decided to warn everyone on yelp. read more

I apologize in advance if Rob has a medical problem, but the aggressive and rude behavior if not acceptable anywhere. Alfonso is a nice guy, but very SLOW. We were charged by the hour. (I wonder why?) and ended up paying three times what the competition would charge for the job. Just the tip of the iceberg of many issues. Never, ever again! Worse experience with a contractor. Still shaking my head. read more

David the electrician arrived on time, did top quality work, at a fair, agreed upon in advanced price. I did get multiple estimates from four different contractors, some were more than double than the price of Anchor Electric's quote! I highly recommend Anchor Electric. Neal read more

They have helped me a couple of times and have been quick, professional, and I trust their work. Reasonable prices too

Thanks Anchor Electric, talked to Rob the owner for a job the following day sent Dave for the appointment to install an EV outlet in the garage. Had it completed in no time, ask if he can install a smart switch in the hallway upstairs and he finished that too! Will call them back for future jobs. Professional, organized & wearing safety Covid protocol the entire time! read more

Anchor Electric - Electricians Near Me

Very professional and knowledgeable electrician. By far, the electrician with the most reasonable pricing out in South Orange County.

Fast response professional work and easy to work with! I called quite a few places and finally settled with this company and couldn't be happier. I got quotes for more work around the house and we will continue to use these guys for all of our electric needs! Our barn lights look lovely and it's nicely set up with timers and neat conduits etc. Awesome job, thanks Alfonso and team. read more

Thanks for a great job! I called and spoke to Rob and he explained the service, he was very helpful and gave me some background on lighting. We booked an appointment and Danny arrived on time and walked the job. He was very friendly and professional, as it turned out he could only do part of the work by himself so Rob scheduled for additional employees the following week. Danny, Dave, and Alphonso arrived early and got the balance of the job done quickly. I think Anchor Electric provided great service at a great price! We will use them again! read more

So very kind and helpful! We were looking for a commercial electrician for some last-minute work (within 24 hours) and Rob was so kind to refer us to another electrician who had the availability to get our project done. We really appreciate it. read more

HOME OWNER BEWARE!!! Rob seems very friendly and accommodating when you first meet him but watch out! When we began the job, his guys came out and one of his workers was very nice and respectful while the other had an attitude right off the bat. After the first day, I received a call that I was being charged an extra $180 ($90 per hour) for moving some canned lights over on a high ceiling one too many times for his liking and took up too much of his teams time which was no where near 2 hours. When I informed him I was not paying him another penny other than what was agreed upon on the invoice, he thought he could raise his voice and try and intimidate me. Once this occurred, I immediately informed him that he was fired and told him to get his crew out of the house. Two days later, I received an invoice from Rob with prices that we inflated when compared to the initial proposal. The invoice was charging $70/ recessed light and the invoice was reflecting $75/ light (ridiculous right?). On top of that, his team left 6-8 pieces of tape on a 16ft ceiling which I was unable to remove and smudge marks all over the ceiling as well. When the tape and ceiling were finally cleaned a week later, we then proceeded to issue payment for the items that were completed before he was fired from the job at the price that was initially agreed upon. Don't let this scum bag intimidate you or over charge you if you let him in the door (which I HIGHLY recommend you don't) and never pay him with a credit card (which he kept pushing us to do)! I could only imagine what he would've charged on the card. read more

I can highly recommend! Rob was so helpful and patient in advising me about my ceiling fan project.

Fast. Efficient. Fair prices. Friendly and helpful staff. Very happy with work! Highly recommend.

Excellent Company!! Rob is a Fantastic, Very honest and great attention to detail! I had my garage lit with 6 LED fixtures, 3 more gang boxes with GFI protection and an attic fan. Arrived right on time, price was very reasonable and Danny did a great job with all the installation!! (It was 95 degrees that day) All done the sane day! I strongly recommend Anchor Electric for anything electrical!! read more

What can I say... These guys have a lot of 5 star reviews for a reason. Rob sent out his guy Dave to remove an old telecom cabinet from my closet and install a new, much larger one. Dave was a nice guy who wasn't afraid to take his time to ensure the job was done right. Because of his attention to detail, the new cabinet turned out well beyond my expectations! Great work for a fair price! I know hiring Anchor Electric to do the job was the right decision to make - and I will be hitting them up for any future electrical work I may need. read more
