This is that unicorn you're looking for but never thought existed. I found Ian when I had what I thought was a refrigerator issue which turned out to be an electrical issue that burned the motherboard of my Sub Zero. I noticed immediately that unlike other companies, Ian spoke to me like I was a referral from a personal friend. He was helping to troubleshoot on the phone and text BEFORE charging an arm and a leg. And only after he had an idea of what the possible issues could be. An when two of his team ( his very competent sons obviously trained by Ian) came, they were super respectful and efficient in identifying the issue at the break panel and resolving it in the most efficient way. And they uncovered the issues was with the main electrical coming from SCE so Ian reminded me that because the issue was caused by them , that I can file a claim to get reimbursed. These guys solve problems like they would want others to solve it for their mom, sister, etc. And I am 100% certain They fixed the issue for no less than half of what another company would charge. After that I had a couple of smaller projects at our rental property : 1) replacing all the under cabinet lights in the kitchen - he sent me the link to the lights to get on Amazon so he wouldn't have to upcharge me for them and his price was again nearly half of what another company quoted 2) Converted all 6 recessed ceiling lights from some old Pre-code version to current LED. Now I was quoted over $1,000 for this by another company and they also said they had to cut into the ceiling and then patch to repair that. So we delayed doing this work for months until all but one light was still working but when the guys from South Bay Electric came they geniusly figured out that based on the type of box and connectors of the current lights, they could safely and to code use parts from a new system to do the conversion rather than replacing the entire system. If you appreciate tradespeople who are students of their art, who get a kick out of solving problems safely, efficiently and effectively, these are the folks you want to have your back. You can hear it in their voices, feel it in their attitude and witness it in their mastery of their skill. And during their lunch break they shared how they often try to help people who call solve their own issues if possible. They will give them instructions and tell them what parts to get because they feel bad charging people for work they could have done themselves. Recently, we called Ian to request his help with some repair work at my late father in law's house. Some lights and outlets weren't working and he provided a range of potential solutions to solving the problem and included implications as it relates to the involvement of the city. Equipped with full information we were able to determine the successful course of action. In this case - get this, the bill came in at 1/2 the price Ian quoted. Who does that? Anyways, all I know is that Ian and his boys are on my speed dial and I am a loyal customer for life!

Our garage light was flickering so badly it resembled a seizure trigger. I didn't know who to call,…read moreso I searched Yelp and found Ian Marsh of South Bay Electric. There were a series of excellent reviews. I sent hima a message and he got back to me right away. When we spoke, Ian himself walked me through the troubleshooting over the phone. He suggested it could be a bad bulb connection (take it out and clean the contacts) or an issue with the wall switch. Sure enough, it turned out to be our dimmer switch -- it just couldn't hold the charge properly and was causing the constant flickering. What really stands out is that Ian could have easily scheduled a service call and charged me a couple hundred bucks to come out. Instead, he gave me the exact fix for free and saved me the hassle and expense. In a world where so many companies push for paid visits, this level of honesty and helpfulness is rare and genuinely appreciated. While it cost me nothing, it cost him his time.I As a result, I promised Ian I'd write a glowing review, and here it is. If you're in the South Bay and need an electrician you can actually trust, call Ian Marsh South Bay Electric. Highly recommend! Rick

Needed to get a panel upgrade and an EV charger installed. There's an open space between my panel…read moreand my garage, so I was told by other electricians that I'd have to get someone else to break the concrete because they don't do that. These guys were one of the few that could handle the concrete work, and they also handle all the permit work as well. Staff worked hard, finished everything quickly and made sure the work site was clean as a whistle after they finished. Everyone was really friendly, from the receptionist on the phone, the staff and the people giving me estimates. It's been more than a year since I got my EV charger installed, and I haven't noticed any problems since then. Price-wise, I feel it was pretty fair especially considering how they made everything so convenient. All in all, they did everything well. I'd have no problems recommending them to others, and will likely go back to them when I need other things addressed in the house.

We had contacted CJ's Electric to help us troubleshoot an issue we were having with several of our…read moreoutlets. Cesar was prompt to respond and professional throughout our appointment. Our problem turned out to be a pretty complicated one, and I was really impressed with how thorough and persistent Cesar was in tracking down the issue. He took the time to work through the possibilities rather than just guessing at the cause, and even crawled through a very tight and difficult-to-access attic space to trace the wiring. He eventually located the problem, a severed electrical line that, unfortunately, appeared to have been damaged by rodents. Despite the difficult location, Cesar was able to come up with a temporary fix that restored power to our outlets, which we really appreciated. He also took the time to explain what had happened and proposed a more permanent, long-term solution to prevent us from having to deal with the same issue again. We plan on moving forward with that work and I'll update my review once it's completed. Overall, we had a great experience with CJ's Electric. Cesar was responsive, professional, thorough, and genuinely committed to figuring out a difficult problem. Definitely glad we called him and would recommend CJ's Electric to anyone looking for an electrician who will actually take the time to troubleshoot an issue properly.

No pressure, no upselling -- just solid, practical advice from someone who clearly knows his trade. If you need an electrician who does careful work and treats your home with respect, Carlos is the one to call. We'll be using him again.

Our house is a mid century modern build from the fifties, so there were bespoke needs around routing everything in a smart, efficient way. Nexx were great partners in assessing what was possible and what was not. They gave us several options per pathway and did the work in a way that matched the aesthetics and blended with the existing materials. Lots of attention to detail, lots of great questions, and real problem solving along the way. They also went beyond the job. They helped us find other contractors where we needed them, and when a separate electrical problem came up, they showed up on thirty minutes notice to get it sorted before the weekend. Top marks on customer service and emergency response. Honest, straightforward, and easy to work with. Emilio, Oscar, Alex and crew were awesome. Would definitely hire them again.

Not only was their quote HALF of what this larger company gave us....they were consistently professional, on time, and they did EXCEPTIONAL work! Our system before was so inefficient, and Red Apple was the first company to actually diagnose all the problems, give us a WORKING solution, and actually do an incredible job without disrupting our business. Our heating costs have gone down almost 65% since our new installation and our students are LOVING how hot it is. The customer service is really terrific!

We are grateful to have found this company and will continue to use them and recommend them to everyone!

DO NOT TRUST -- My Personal Experience…read more In my personal experience, this company has been extremely difficult to deal with. The owner initially came across as a great salesperson, but the work performed did not match what was promised. After my electrician pointed out the poor workmanship and safety hazards, it was recommended that I perform a HERS test. The system failed. Red Apple then removed the system and told me I would receive a full refund, but communication stopped shortly afterward and no refund was provided. I eventually hired an attorney, and Red Apple agreed to reimburse me $25,000 in $3,000 installments, but no payments were ever made. After multiple attempts to collect and several unfulfilled promises to drop off a check, I filed a complaint with the California State Licensing Board (CSLB). They also had difficulty contacting the owner. I then filed a claim against the contractor's bond. About a month later, CSLB was finally able to reach Red Apple, and the owner again agreed to reimburse the $25,000, this time in $1,500 monthly installments. As of today, I have not received any payments. This has been an incredibly frustrating and stressful experience. Based on what I went through, I encourage others to be very cautious and to make sure a HERS test is performed and passes before making final payment.
