Eric is great! He has been my go to electrician for years! He is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. I always feel like I'm getting more than what I'm paying for. Cannot recommend EM Electric enough! read more

Fast, great service, great price. We wanted a 240 volt installed in our garage, he got it done!

Mr Eric Mickler is an awesome electrician. He helped us out with a project we had with Edison to bury our power lines that were ruining our backyard and our view. Eric came and was prepared and worked on electrical panels and on disconnecting service lines etc. without complaining. Many electricians were too intimidated to work alongside Edison or too lazy to show up early and do whatever is required to get the job done. Many electricians we had interviewed wanted nothing to do with this project and preferred to do simple tasks like hanging our chandeliers instead of challenging real electrical work. So we hired Mr. Mickler and now we have an awesome view free of power lines! We are really indebted to you Eric! Thank you and yes we will also reach out to you if we need to hang new chandeliers up.... read more

Eric has done several projects for me. This visit was to address a loss of power at an electrical outlet in my back yard and to install a new modern porch light with numerous light settings. He quickly determined the electrical issue and replaced the electrical outlet/receptacle. He provided and installed the new porch light setup, which now looks fantastic. Eric is easy to contact, does very good work, is thorough, and has reasonable prices. Highly recommend him. read more

Eric has been my go-to electrician for the better part of a decade. He's professional and careful and explains things clearly with no attitude, no upsell and just solid work. He's both diagnosed problems as well as helped me pick out new lighting fixtures that fit my needs. I recommend him highly, without reservations. read more

We had a series of outlets without power. Eric arrived on time, was up front about the cost, and quickly fixed the issue (it was a faulty breaker). I would happily recommend him and will be reaching out in the future. read more

I've repeatedly hired Eric from Em Electrical, and each time, it's been great experience. He truly values his work, paying attention to detail, whether it's a small task like adding an outlet or a larger project like installing a new 240 circuit for an EV charging station (100 ft away from the panel). His work is consistently precise, everything leveled, and clean, no doubt he is an expert in the field. Eric is not only knowledge consultant but also offers his honest opinions and suggestions for improving the project. He's a pleasure to work with. read more

Eric came out to my house to install all new lighting in my walk-in closet. He had a good vision for what was needed and it turned out great. He also installed a dimmer in another closet and it's perfect. While he was here, he took down our old kitchen chandelier and replaced it with our new one. Everything is looking great. Pleasant. quick, and efficient. Very happy customer here and highly recommend EM Electric. Thanks Eric!! read more

Eric is reliable and honest. He called me immediately back and put me on his schedule promptly. Great service !

Couldn't be happier with Eric. He was prompt at calling us back after we had left a message. We had a power issue with a plug that was the power source for our water heater. He was able to come by that same day and figure out the problem in a timely manner and get us back up and running. We will for sure be using his services in the future. I highly recommend Eric for any of your electrical needs. read more

He came to my house after I messed up my wiring and was able to easily figure out how to put it back together and explained to me how to change it in the future if needed read more

Had a gfci (or actual panel) issue and my handyman who worked on other house projects warned that the electrical in the property was janky ( to put it mildly). So when we kept blowing breakers when trying to run our garbage disposal, we hit up EM Electrical for hopefully a more permanent fix. Not only was the communication quick and the appointment expedited and timely, but the time was taken to ensure a solution/fix was found before leaving the property. Took some investigative work on their part, but figured out the issue and fixed the ongoing problem. Couldn't be happier. read more

Eric was able to solve a somewhat complex problem with my interior lighting quickly and efficiently. He was very friendly and professional, and I would recommend him to anyone in need of help with their electrical systems! read more

Eric is everything you want in an electrician! Knowledgeable with excellent communication by phone & text. He responds promptly & diagnosed the problem before he even arrived. Fortunately, he got us on his schedule quickly so our tenants were happy, too! This was our first time using EM Electrical, but we will certainly use him for any future problems. Eric deserves these 5 star ratings! Appreciated the outstanding customer service & can highly recommend this local business! read more

We called EM Electrical based on the 5 star rating and we like to support local businesses whenever possible. We attempted to change out a couple of wall sconces ourselves, but ran into some complications, and decided we needed a professional. Eric was able to come out the next day. He was friendly, honest, and fair. He was able to do the job without cutting into the drywall, and did an AWESOME job! We will definitely call on Eric for our future electrical projects. Thank you :) read more

EM Electrical - One of 2 new wall sconces. - Electricians Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Needed an electrician at the 11th hour on a Friday evening for outlets that weren't working (people staying at my house). Called Eric and was so impressed with a call back within the hour. Eric promised to get in touch with the people ASAP and make an appointment with them the next day (Saturday!). He couldn't have been nicer. Eric was very good about communicating his prices and how he worked. I felt really confident about him going out to fix the problem. I heard back from him Saturday, as promised. Everything got fixed, paid for and a receipt was emailed. I am giving him five stars and recommend him to anyone needing a great, reliable electrician! read more

This is the second time I've used Eric for electrical work and he didn't disappoint. The first time was for a light switch replacement that had blown. Eric immediately did trouble shooting and knew it was due to a space heater! Last week he installed two ceiling fans which required climbing in my small attic to put in electrical boxes. He did an excellent job! He's fair, reliable, and responsive. Highly recommend him for electrical issues and upgrades. read more

We hired Eric for a complete electrical upgrade on our recently purchased home - built in 1961 with original electrical panel. He performed a complete re-wire of my home, grounded all my outlets, upgraded my main panel, and installed a subpanel in my garage (plus plenty more). This being our first home, he walked us through the whole process from pulling the permit and dealing with the city inspectors to helping us navigate through all the new energy efficient lighting requirements. Given that our finances were tight having just closed on our home, it was a relief to have someone not try to upsell us. Instead, Eric gave great advice on how to keep our costs to a minimum. Having heard my fair share of horror stories from other homeowners going through this process, it was a relief to have someone you can trust. I highly recommend Eric for any electrical needs. read more

Called Eric about a problem with my 220v jacuzzi breaker. When the jets started the breaker started smoking. He said he will be there in an hour. 20 minutes later he was here and solved the problem in 15 minutes. His work might have saved me from an electrical fire. Thanks again Eric read more

I had Eric with EM Electrical come out today to solve an electrical problem with my outdoor lighting. The appointment was at 10:00 AM, which was the exact time they showed up. After some initial troubleshooting, the problem was solved without needing additional parts or upselling. I will use EM Electrical again for any other electrical repair needs that come up. read more

We've had Eric out 2 times now, the first being a ceiling fan install and the second was installing new receptacles in a few outdoor locations where they did not exist. The work is always completed in a timely fashion and the quality is great. His pricing is quite reasonable and I have no problem recommending him to anyone I know that needs electrical work. I think his reviews speak for themselves. read more

I had Eric come out today to fix a tripped breaker that wouldn't reset. Excellent customer service (he called back the same day on Super Bowl Sunday!) Very down to earth guy who is quite knowledgeable. He fixed what I thought was a complicated problem (wasn't just the breaker) with fair/competitive price and did so quickly. Easy to work with, proficient, on time and will solve your problem. I will continue to call him for future needs. read more

Eric is great - honest and fair. Do not hesitate to use him... he came quickly to solve my issue -- no electricity due to a blown main. Solved in one hour plus parts. Good guy. read more

Had a 5-star experience with Eric at my rental property. An older beach cottage, I was concerned about some recent work from another contractor that might not be correct along with past DIY work done by the previous owner. Eric made sense of the "electric wire spaghetti" and ensured everything was grounded and protected in proper fire-resistant tubing. He also changed a dimmer inside the house to an LED dimmer at no charge for the labor (something that took him a few minutes and would have taken me all day.) Resting much better feeling my property is safe and compliant with work done by the licensed pro. Eric was prompt, worked efficiently and priced his work very reasonably. Highly recommend. read more

Eric did a great job on our apartment units laundry setup. He was very friendly and efficient. We will be using him for our panel upgrades next. Highly recommend him. read more

I called Eric to get a couple of exterior lights installed. He figured out the job right away and explained everything he needed to do clearly. His bid also came in well under the others I got, which normally would be a red flag with me, but I went with him based on the yelp reviews. Well, he got started quickly and did everything in a clean and workmanlike way. I'm really happy with the way the project looks, internally (properly installed romex looks nice) and externally (the lights look like they've always been there). I recommend him without reservation! read more

I've hired Eric for 2 jobs now and have been very happy with the results. The power to my pool pump was not working, my home warranty sent out a contractor that gave me a extremely expensive estimate(They chagred a flat rate, no real estimate of the work) that ended up not being covered by the warranty even. I had a second electrcian come out and take a look but he wasn't sure how to fix the problem and said he didn't have the time. I then called EM. Eric came out, gave a very resonable estimate and I hired him right away. He came out to do the job and kept in constant communication with his discoveries. He found the problem quickly and fixed it well within his estimate. He put the original contractors to shame. I then hired him for a second job of installing some outdoor lights. I got the same great service again. On time, communicates well, does good clean work, and is always straightforward with me. This second job ended up being tougher, but I got the same great service. Any price changes were explained well and felt very fair. Happy to have found EM and highly recommend using them to get the job done right and fair. read more

A long overdue review for great service! Our 1970s condo has needed a lot of work for quite a while, but funds are tight and we were dreading getting the work done. A tripped breaker that we couldn't reset finally forced us into action and we feel so fortunate to have found Eric at EM Electrical. He really went above and beyond - going through the entire house to make sure we were safe and all our concerns were addressed. Eric was professional and kind and I felt comfortable having him in my home. In the end we were very happy with the work and shocked at the price - because it was so low! He did quality work for a great price. I have recommended him to others and we will definitely call Eric for our future jobs. read more

I had Eric take a look at my exterior motorized screen shade system because it stopped working. It turns out that the recent rain may have tripped and damaged the GCFI and he was able to replace it and got the motorized shade system working again. He is honest, reliable and can quickly resolve any electrical issues that you may have. I would definitely recommend him. read more

Needed a collection of small repairs on a home I had just purchased. Eric was able to come right away.

Murphy's law - outlet goes out during Thanksgiving weekend. And outlet is being used by fridge. After calling around to few electricians, got a recommendation to call Eric and he came over early next morning. He quickly diagnosed issue and fixed it easily. Didn't try to overcharge me given it was holiday weekend and didn't try to upsell either. Highly recommend him. read more

5 star service for Eric @ EM Electric. Eric is extremely professional, knowledgeable, timely, and honest. He replied promptly & came to our house for an estimate. We scheduled a date and he arrived on time. He was very careful with our walls, paint, etc. He cleaned up everything and explained all the repairs. His pricing was reasonable, too. He even went above and beyond by removing some old lights in an overgrown bush out front. I highly recommend him! read more

I hired Eric to hang two chandeliers in our home. I couldn't be happier with the job he did! He started off hanging the chandelier in my living room and we ran into a problem with some of the hardware that was provided for the chandelier. I was concerned we were not able to get it done but Eric found a way to make it work. You can tell when someone really knows their craft when they can problem solve on the fly! If your looking for a professional, smart & affordable electrician look no further. read more

I needed to change my outlet receptacle and circuit breaker on my preexisting 240 v line in my garage for my car charger. They made appointment for two days later. Job was quick and done right. He gave a discount for paying cash since it was a simple job which was nice. Probably spent $50-100 less with Eric compared to other electricians I got quotes from. read more
