We had a really good experience with these guys, and we love our new lights! We inquired on a Monday and James came over that same evening, said "Yes" on the Wednesday (2 days later), and the next day (Thursday) it was all complete by 6PM !! Easiest project ever! James came over to give me a quote the same day I inquired on Yelp. Which is great, because If he waited too long, I might have changed my mind about doing this project. It's not like these projects are cheap... I did contact another company on Yelp, but they weren't available for a quote until A WEEK LATER and did not offer any other days. Custom Electric was quick, efficient, and they cleaned up very nicely! Anyone who has done construction/remodel work know what it's like when a does not clean up after themselves. Custom Electric was able to work with us on the price, so much that we ended up doing both the kitchen AND the living room (when our original plan was to only do the kitchen). We are very happy with their work, and have received multiple compliments from friends and family. What a difference some lights make! We definitely recommend them for some no-nonsense service. read more

James did excellent work at concealing the cable wiring in an upstairs loft. I used the Yelp icon to "Request a Quote" and immediately got responses from 6 of 7 businesses. So Kudos to Yelp for making it seamless to get in touch with contractors! Custom Electric was one of the businesses who reached out within minutes of the request, and also provided a reasonable estimate. Cox Cable Contour recently replaced AT&T Uverse as our cable provider, which means we now have traditional, cable wiring instead of wifi. The service is excellent, but Cox doesn't run wiring through walls. Cox did leave enough cable for a professional electrician to finish the job. James arrived promptly, looked at the job & was done in less than an hour. Instead of splicing the existing cable & adding a connector plate, I asked James to just run the cable directly from its source to maintain a clean, strong signal. His work looks great and the concealed cable looks clean & finished. Thanks to both Yelp & Custom Electric! read more

Really friendly guys. We love our recessed lights. Definitely plan on upgrading other lights around the house.

So happy my husband and I decided to go with this company. They were quick to respond, matched another competitors price for us, and sent someone out the very same day on the weekend for us literally within a couple hours. It was awesome! Service was great and the lights we needed installed turned out beautiful. Very careful with their work and made sure we were happy with everything before he left. We were even talking about a future project we may need done that is a little more complicated with installing a chandelier on a vaulted slanted ceiling and they really know their stuff! We will definitely be using them again in the future! read more

Would like to start off with James was punctual and professional. James gave me a quote within minutes and beat the competition by 60%. His co-workers showed up early and had the job done faster than the original quoted time. We have a couple projects going on and we will definitely be calling them to come back. Thank you Custom Electric SD, you made this experience so much easier. 100% recommend read more

James was great to work with. I would recommend him to anyone. He was quick to respond, provided a quote before the project that did not change once he showed up to do the work. Was even great with our dog. Can't say enough good things about him and his team. read more

We had James come over to our House. He ended up fixing the light switch and installing several new light fixtures for us. Very nice Guy. We actually ended up getting more done than We originally asked for and James was kind enough to accommodate us. I think we were charged a fair price for all the stuff we had done. I will definitely call these Guys again if I need electrical work done. read more

If you're looking for a professional electrician -Stop reading and call these guys! It was by chance that we came across James and we are very happy that we did. We had them install 2 chandeliers, wall mount a TV and 34 recessed lights throughout our house. They did an excellent job and exceeded our expectations. Moreover, they are knowledgeable, affable, and able. He was always responsive either through text or phone. It's nice to find honest people/business. We highly recommend them and will be using them for our future projects! read more

I reached out several electricians to install a chandelier and many of them believe it requires scaffolding because there is stairway right under the j-box so there's no place to put ladder. Jonathan responded quickly and suggested scaffolding might not be needed. Then James and Kyle showed up on time and finished the job in a little over an hour with extended ladder. They wear shoe cover all the time, and used magic eraser to clear any fingerprints left on the ceilings, fixtures and the bulbs. Very satisfied with the service and highly recommend. read more

Custom Electric SD - Electricians Near Me - San Diego, California

We've had Custom Electric do a handful of projects for us over the past 4 years (adding recessed lighting, adding/replacing fans, installing EV car charger...) and would confidently recommend them to anyone! James is the best. Incredibly knowledgeable with best practices and city codes, super responsive and we've never had a problem with his team's work. Plus they're just good people and are even sweet to our kiddos when they're here. :) read more

Came to my house on a Sunday! Great service! He found and repaired the issue. And he was very cordial and professional! I would recommend him to anyone! read more

I worked with James from Custom Electric on a breaker/outlet repair. He was extremely responsive when setting up the service repair and very punctual when arriving and resolving it. I will be using them for all my electric repairs and needs going forward. I can't recommend them enough read more

They did great work, they finished installing 3 ceiling fans, repaired the dry wall and cleaned up in one day.

James was more than awesome. He repaired a convoluted electric outlet under a sink, it was quite a job. He also installed a ceiling fan and even reviewed the remote with me. On time, great communication and professional. Can't ask for anything more. Im a few months late in posting this, but I felt that strongly to make sure I reviewed him. read more

James and Kyle are the best electricians in San Diego. They always got me on their schedule either within a few hours or a couple days. They do great work and they are very friendly and very well priced. I have used them for every electrical need I have had, and they have always done great work! read more

I had James cone out because i was told by Spectrum I needed coax cable installed to upgrade my internet. When James arrived he discovered the house was already wir3d and joined me on a call to Spectrum.to verify everything. He was awesome and only charged me a minimum and I had misplaced a package when he was here and he traced every step we made and found them.for me! He is a down to earth and very kind person. I am using him going forward for all my electrical needs. read more

I wanted to give a shout out to James, Kyle and the rest of the team that installed recessed lighting throughout our home. The team was efficient and courteous. James was great to work with throughout the process from the initial quote, design ideas and his follow up after the job was complete to make sure we were happy with the finished product. Their pricing was reasonable and competitive with others I reached out to. I have to say one of the things that stuck about Custom Electric was that they came out to the house to discuss our project and design ideas. Other companies simply wanted to deal with us by text or email. I would highly recommend these guys! read more

Good job! James came the next day after our phone call to hang out chandelier.Took him like only 20 minutes. No problems and price very reasonable. Will use him again in future. thank you. read more

Wanted to share my experience with Custom Electric SD and let everyone know what a fantastic job James and his crew did in my home. I needed everything...new electrical panel, recessed lighting throughout, dimmer switches, new outlets, etc. I requested quotes from the top 3 companies on Yelp and James beat their prices by over a thousand dollars!!! Even at the end of a really long day, when it was discovered that the glass on my medicine cabinet was broken, James offered to get me a new one at the local Home Depot and immediately replace it. Which he did. (It should be noted that James and his company weren't the only workers in my home that day.) For me it's not about making a mistake, but the customer service that follows the mistake. Custom Electric SD is spot on. Thanks again guys...I love my new lighting!! read more

James was fantastic to work with. I needed an emergency fix for an issue with the electricity to dryer, and he was able to respond immediately via text and even attempted to show me how to fix it without even having to make a visit. Once we realized the problem was deeper, James made time the very next morning and quickly diagnosed and resolved the problem. I'm super pleased and will be contacting him again soon to get some lighting work done in the near future. Thanks!!! read more

I can highly recommend Custom Electric. James and his team were so great to work with. They were quick to get me on their schedule. They showed up on time, they were thorough and communicative on all my needs/expectations for the project. They worked quickly but carefully, they were very clean and efficient. I am just at the beginning of a remodel and will definitely call them for all future projects. read more

Wow! Awesome costumer service!!!! James came on Tuesday to give us an estimate for some recessed lights in our living and kitchen areas. Came that Friday and installed everything! Both rooms look great! Highly recommended!!!! I even texted him that we were having issues with power on one of our wall outlets. He made time on a Saturday morning to come get it checked out and fixed it. Not even a 1 day turnaround. We will be using him for all our electrical needs!!!! Great job!!!! read more

Custom Electric has been the trusted electrician for the management company I currently work at for years. Once we tried another electrician (whom was a referral to our boss) and we regretted it immediately and went straight back to using Custom Electric exclusively. Fair pricing, great communication and makes our lives easy. Highly recommended. read more

James and his team are amazing! They are electricians for the modern age, providing clever ideas using wireless tech for complex set ups. Saving be time and money! His team was very professional and respectful of my home. Will def use them for future projects! read more

We had an issue with a plug not working in our laundry room. I had just swapped some patio lights in our house when the switch stopped working. Turns out a wire got loose in a box and that is what caused the wall outlet to stop working. The electrician was able to troubleshoot the problem fairly quick and get everything working again. I was dreading a crazy wiring job, but that wasn't the case. Thanks for the getting us up and working. read more

I can't say enough good things about this company! I asked for a quote on a Friday for a ceiling fan light install for Monday and they responded promptly from my Yelp inquiry. As soon as I confirmed that we wanted to hire them, we had an appt scheduled for Monday afternoon. They arrived early and had the job done within approx 1 hour (including patching the wall/ceiling to match our texture perfectly). They brought all their tools and drop cloths to avoid getting our furniture and carpet dirty. They even disposed of our fan box and vacuumed the area before they left. I can't rave enough about them! Before they left I was already asking their opinion about future projects and will 100% be hiring them again. They made the entire process so simple that I was mad it took me so long to get this fan light installed. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them for your electrical work! Thank you! read more

We needed help with figuring out where the light switches were connecting to. The booking process was easy and James came the next morning. He did a great job troubleshooting and resolving the issues. Thanks again! read more

James and everyone involved on my project did incredible work. Custom Electric SD went beyond my expectations from service to price. I will be using them moving forward for my personal projects and for my business. Trust me when I say, these guys are hands down the best at what they do and the reviews speak for themselves. read more

We needed an electrician the next day. This outfit committed to come over when needed, were on time, fixed the problem with our GFI, then proceeded to fix another lighting problem we've been ignoring, all for a very reasonable fee and goof humor. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them, and would certainly call them again. read more

James did a great job! Very responsive online (which is huge to me) and was able to knock out my small job of moving an electric box in about an hour! Highly recommend! read more

I requested a quote on Yelp and received a timely response, fair quite and they were available on the day I needed. James and his partner showed up early. They did an excellent job replacing a ceiling fan and 3 light fixtures. While speaking with them I mentioned that I had planned to have a handyman come mount my TVs - they said they could help with that service and were available the very next day! Again, they showed up on time and even arranged for a drywall repair man to come as well. I would give them more than 5 stars, highly recommend. read more

I had a really great experience with Custom Electric. They gave me a quote immediately, got someone over to my house in around an hour and finished the project with good results. James was friendly and offered to help us out with moving our stove over when he didn't have to. This team is friendly, prompt, professional and I would highly recommend them for your future electrical projects. read more

Needed to fix a fan switch. Called James on Tuesday, fit me in that Saturday. In, fixed, out in less than an hour. Great job, good dude.

James and his team are awesome!! I called James on a Monday and he came out to inspect my place and provided a quote the same day. I told him I'd like to get recess lights in my kitchen as soon as possible and he made time that same week. He is professional, accommodating, honest, patient (willing to answer all questions), and efficient. I am so happy with his quality of work. This was such a great experience and I will continue to use this company for any future needs/projects. read more

Electricians are really busy people so not always easy to get in touch with, and James was no exception. However, once we got in touch with him our project was able to proceed very smoothly. We got an estimate from him a few weeks ago and he brought his team in to do the work the following week at the agreed upon time. James and his team ended up running 3 CAT6 network drops from a 1st floor location to 2nd floor locations. He also installed a recessed light, a ceiling fan, and created 2 new outlets for us. I appreciated his attention to detail during the estimate to check if we were installing a bidet (we were), and then looking up the spec sheet for the bidet together to make sure no dedicated circuits were needed. The team did the work efficiently while taking care to cover walkways and work areas so they were protected from the inevitable debris that results. I was impressed by the quality of their workmanship, from leaving CAT6 service loops in the ceiling to the seamlessness of the drywall repair. James and his team were terrific and I would definitely look to them again if I have more electrical projects in the future. read more

While I did not actually get services from them. I am giving the 5 stars because they responded very fast and was able to get me a quote. The only reason I went with another lighting company was because I was offered a better price. I would still keep these guys in mind in the future because of how professional they were when quoting me. read more

I requested electricians and We made an appt immediately. I.. I ended up hiring someone before our appt and cancelled it .. but wanted to say they were very nice and got back to me right away read more

I requested a quote to install a new light switch in the bathroom. The original switch was a combo switch/outlet unit to be replaced with a regular toggle switch. I couldn't figure out after multiple tries how to wire everything because there were about 10+ wires in the electrical box. James called me back and I explained to him what I was trying to do. He offered to help me over the phone. I got off the phone with him so I can take some pics of the switch and wires and text it to him before calling him back to continue. He explained to me what I needed to do. I hooked up the light switch using his instructions, turned the electricity back on, and turned on the switch. Bam! First try. It worked. I'm impressed with his willingness to help over the phone instead of charging me for a visit. That shows honesty and trustworthiness. I will definitely give James and Custom Electric SD my future business if I have any projects. I already have some lined up in the near future such as recessed lighting and ceiling fans. I definitely recommend them. 5 stars! read more

I messaged Custom Electric last night and got a message back ASAP (I didn't realize, because I didn't get an email from yelp) and emailed them this morning and quickly got a call from Jason, maybe two minutes after messaging him! Prompt response! He said he was going to be in my neighborhood this afternoon and would be able to come after! On a Saturday! Yay! He came by and discovered the problem in about ten minutes and fixed it! He is personable and helpful. He didn't mind my questions or me looking over his shoulder. Will definitely use him again, hopefully not because of another power failure. =). He also addressed some other issues I didn't know I had. Awesome job. Forgot to add, reasonably priced! Did I tell you he came out on a Saturday??? I received several quotes for much more, just to come out and take a look! Super happy with Jason! read more
