He came immediately and repaired my wall socket. My kitchen lights work again. Very professional and polite. Thank you Carlos!

Carlos came to fix a circuit that had tripped due to a frayed wire on an outlet. While he was able to fix the circuit, my biggest issue was he continually refused to wear a mask in the house (after I asked three times and explained we take care of older folks) and left one of the outlets he worked on in bad shape. Picture attached. I know masks can be a pain, but when a customer asks for you to wear a mask inside their house, it should be common courtesy to do so... and leave the outlets in the same/better condition you found them. read more

Carlos Cabrera - The Wire Guy - This outlet was flush against the wall when Carlos came to the house, it's now stuck this way after he left. - Electricians Near Me

The power was off to half the house (including the refrigerator). Carlos came round as soon as he''d finished a previous job, trouble shot the problem to the meter and got the power back on. read more

I decided to change some light switches to look more up to date; causing my power to go out at 4:30pm. I was referred to Carlos, he answered on the second ring and said he could be out by 6pm to fix the issue. I arrive at 5:30pm, did some troubleshooting and within 20 minutes had my power back up. While he was here he also fixed some wiring issues and helped me finish the project. He also gave me an extremely fair price. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an electrician! Thank you again Carlos! read more

Thanks Carlos for allowing me to use all of my 4K tvs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Carlos was recommended to me by a local competitor who was scheduling 2 months out. (Recommended by a competitor - 1st star) I explained over the phone that I had a non-functioning electrical outlet in my back yard that used to power my sprinkler timer box. This particular outlet did not have a reset button. Carlos explained to me over the phone to check other outlets that may be on the same circuit and try resetting them. He offered to come out today within 2 hrs if needed. (Same day availability - 2nd star) After checking a few outlets I found the one with the reset to restore power to the backyard outlet. There was no charge and I learned a little something in the process. A simple fix from a nice guy. Carlos gets my next call for electrical work! Thanks read more

Got stood up twice in the same day. He didn't show up the first time, so I called asking what's up. He apologized and said rescheduled for the afternoon. I waited again, for hours, but he didn't show up that time either and no phone call. Lost a day of work waiting. Would NOT recommend. read more

Carlos is amazing. Easy to make an appointment and communicate with him, quick reply. Price is fair. Highly recommended. read more

We had a burned out wire from our water heater. I called another great electrician we have used in the past but he was too busy to get to us this week. I asked that electrician who he recommended and he told me the best guy he knows would be Carlos and referred us to him. So Carlos came highly recommended by another electrician who we trust. Our house is very old and the wiring is messy and complicated. Carlos arrived, knew immediately what was wrong and took care of the problem quickly. He found a problem where the guy who installed the water heater had miswired something. Carlos let us watch him work and explained what was going on clearly. While he was working I mentioned that the outlet in my bathroom was also not working. Even though that was not what we called him about originally, Carlos still took the time to look at it and gave us great advise about what to do about it. He was amazing. And we were happily surprised at his rate. It was beyond reasonable considering all the work he did while he was here. We will definitely use him in the future and highly recommend him. read more

Carlos was great! He fixed a problem with my electrical in one hour that had been ongoing for 3 years. Will definitely use The Wire Guy again for any electrical issues that may come up!! Highly recommended!! read more

Carlos was one of the first to respond and he had the best rates out of all the other electricians I spoke with. Carlos clearly explained the issue and the steps he took to resolve the problem. I highly recommend making him your first call when it comes to residential electrical issues and installation. read more

Carlos replaced 12 external wall lights and replaced a number of smoke detectors. He works quickly and efficiently, ensured that our place was clean when he finished his work. His work is very good value for $$ spent. I strongly recommend him and will be using him for future electrical work at my house. read more

Carlos Cabrera, electrician, calls himself "The Wire Guy." His work is awesome! I had found his name on Craig's List. I was looking for someone that knew electrical, and was looking for work. I have dealt with large organizations, and felt I needed someone who I could trust. Wow! I found the right guy. I have used him for all kinds of stuff, reccommended him to friends, and has done extremely well. His service charges are reasonable, and he knows what he is doing, and does the job every time, beyond all expectations. Turns out he is also a licensed contractor, he can do more than just electrical, wow, who knew! It is amazing, he can do anything. I am sure he would like more business, however, if he gets too busy, he may not have time for us. The guy is a gem, and I am so glad we found him. He is at the top of my list from now on. If I have a problem, I will get in touch with him. He is on time, cordial, knowledgeable, ready to get the job done, easy to work with. The job is done right the first time, cleans up, and he is always professional. Once again, I highly reccommend him. He can fix all your electrical problems, fix your sink, put in a new door, replace a window. I am sure, that if he can't fix it right away, I am sure he will find a way to get it fixed for you. He is service oriented, and does a great job, once his name and number get out, he is going to be in demand every where. I don't usually take time to write reviews, but I felt this guy deserved the attention for doing such a great job, thank you. read more

Carlos Cabrera - The Wire Guy - Electricians Near Me

I hired Carlos to do some work. He was responsive and did the work without much issue at a decent price. The second time I tried to hire him he was a no-show. Didn't give any warning, just didn't show up and never called. I texted him and he responded later that he couldn't do it that day (ps-thanks, I stayed home for nothing that day). I tried to text a couple more times to see if he would reschedule. Nothing back. Odd thing is that it was a bigger payday job for him than the previous. read more

Carlos the wire guy was awesome! Showed up fast, got the job done fast. I'll be looking forward to work with Carlos in the future. BY Emerson read more

Carlos Cabrera - The Wire Guy - Electricians Near Me

Spoke with Carlos around 2pm on a Friday, said he could make it around 3 and to text the address. After 4 texted again to ask for an ETA update, and he said he "wouldn't make it before the sun went down." Let him know I was fine with that or to let me know his Saturday availability but never heard from him again after that. Had to wait until Monday to book someone else (BK Elec -- highly recommend!). In hindsight, perhaps Carlos was referencing Sabbath with a Friday sundown time limit, but never mentioned a religious deadline. Wish he'd been upfront so I could have kept making calls and get my repair sorted and finished more weekend projects! read more

Carlos came by on time at pretty short notice. He really knew his stuff and fixed the problem and re-wired GFCI outlet in 15 mins. Extremely polite and straight to the point. Will def call him again for any electrical work I need. Thanks a lot Carlos!! J read more

Had a few outlets that didn't work and had 2 larger companies turn me away because the job was too small (they were actually friendly and honest about the fact that the charge to come out wasn't worth it). But they recommended Carlos and thankfully he was able to come out the same day. Responsive and efficient. Will definitely keep his info for future calls! read more

I live in Northern California and was recently in Torrance at my in laws and needed the help of an electrician so I went on Yelp to help find one on short notice. After calling a couple places and being told that they couldn't get out to me until a week later, which wouldn't help me I called Carlos. He answered his phone right away and I explained my situation. He said that he was all booked up, but that he'd come by after he finished for the day if that was ok with me. Of course I accepted. Sure enough, Carlos showed up later in the day and within minutes he was quickly working away. I needed several ring flood light cameras installed which he finished up in no time at all. I asked him since he was here if he'd be willing to switch out another spot light with a motion sensor and he said no problem. I can't say enough positive thoughts about Carlos, he was fast, friendly and efficient. I know who I'll call if I ever need an electrician while visiting LA. Do not hesitate to call him, I'm confident you'll be very happy with his work. Thanks again, Carlos. You saved the day. read more

Carlos has done the the electrical work for a kitchen and bathroom remodel, replaced an old electrical meter, a fuse box and a doorbell system.

My wife and I could not be more pleased. read more

Called Carlos to fix a bad lamp and switch. He arrived 2 hours after the scheduled time. Supposedly fixed the problem. 2 weeks later the same lamp went out again, we tried to text him. First he said he was out of town and that he would be back in 1 week. We called him again the next week and he didn't return our calls, even though we left several messages stating that the lamp he fixed went bad again. We ended up calling another electrician who fixed the problem and told us that the first electrician didn't fix the issue properly. Don't call Carlos if you need your electrical problem fixed properly. read more

We had an appointment and he didn't not show up. No notice what so ever. We waited an hour and tried calling him several times--no luck. Save your self the trouble and hire a legitimate electrician. This guy is a hack. Completely unprofessional. read more

Arrived on time, very knowledgeable diagnosed problem returned next day and corrected problem. Would recommend Carlos to anyone he will solve your problem quickly and priced more than fair read more

I had an electrical outage and needed service right away. Probably called at least 5 electricians and left messages. No one called back, and then I called Carlos who picked the phone up and said he had a job, but could service the problem right after. He updated me on his timeframe, and eventually fixed the problem. None of the other electricians have even called back. Will definitely use again for any electricity problems. Thanks Carlos!! - Sue read more

Called Carlos based on Yelp! to replace a damage sub-panel, he was out the next day to evaluate and quoted me a reasonable price and had everything done the following day. Carlos will be the first one I call for any further electrical problems. read more

Several outlets in my kitchen and the starter for my gas stove stopped working. I called around to a lot of electricians on Yelp that said they would come out but I would need to pay for a two hour minimum visit charge. Carlos, on the other hand, diagnosed and fixed my problem over the phone for free! I will definitely call him next time I have an electrical problem. He's awesome! read more

Mr.Carlos is awesome. Every electrician around me wasn't interested in fixing a burnt out wire in the rain (damn you El Niño). His willingness to work in the rain was a godsend. He always answered my calls/returned them promptly. His pricing was very fair and upfront, no BS. He was quick, efficient, professional and a great handyman/ electric guy. Give him a call he's seriously the wire guy :) read more

Carlos was exceedingly polite, prompt, and efficient at diagnosing and treating our issue. VERY impressed he was able to offer SAME DAY service at a more than reasonable price. Would certainly use again for any electrical issue. Thanks, Carlos! read more

Carlos did excellent work for us at a very fair price. We had a surge due to a car accident nearby that burned out some circuits. He was on time, respectful and professional. That was two years ago, and the work he did is still functioning well in our 80 year old house. I just ran across his invoice in my email and checked yelp to make sure I have him bookmarked to call again when we need him. read more

Called Carlos to come out and find out why I had no electricity in the bathroom and install a ceiling fan. Had quotes from other companies, but Carlos rate was by far was most reasonable. He is the guy to call when you need quality work done. He will be handling all of my electrical needs from now on. read more

Best kept secret in the South Bay. We wouldn't be able to run our business without Carlos coming to the rescue at all odd hours of the day and making sure the jobs gets done. At this point we're convinced, he can fix anything. He's friendly, professional and you can't beat his prices. Thank you Carlos! read more

After calling several other electricians recommended by friends and not hearing back from them, I called Carlos after 5:00pm to see if he would schedule an appointment for the following day. He offered to come over that night to take a look at our issue. He showed up a bit earlier than he said (positive), and stayed until after 9:00 pm to fix the problem. His rates were very reasonable and we will call him again for any future electrical needs we have in our home. read more
