Miguel was highly recommended to us by a light store . He installed an art light in a difficult location (he bumped into a giant beam) and he also had to order a custom set of switches. Lastly, the actual light we installed was faulty and he repaired it ! He is very professional with fair prices. He is the best electrician I have ever used and will call him again. He did a beautiful job. The only issue it scheduling so be flexible. He is worth waiting for. read more

Showed up on time. Did the work professionally. Answered all my questions. Made a return trip to install a part that I had not provided

I requested quotes on Yelp from a few electricians, and most wanted to charge $120+ to just come out to the house and diagnose the problem. I guess that electricians are in high demand... Miguel showed up and walked the property, he fixed one issue that we were having with a GFCI outlet in the garage, and it took him about 20 mins (quick). The total for that was $175. I also requested that our outdoor lighting have alterations completed, and there were some switches in the house that needed to be replaced with dimmers. He said that the entire job would be about $700, but that it was best to do a time + materials payment. I asked him what parts were needed so that I could get prices and potentially order them on Amazon. He said that he would get the parts from his supplier. He came back to the property the next day, arriving about 20 mins late, and worked for about 2 hours. He completed the interior of the house quickly, as I had already purchased the Lutron Dimmer Switches. He then proceeded to spend about 45 minutes with a 'Smart' outlet that was supposed to control the exterior lights. The app would not download on my iPhone X and sync to the outlet, which was strange. I didn't realize that I was going to pay his $100 hourly rate while I attempted to correct the tech issues, which took about 30 mins. He then tested a few things, diagnosed an issue with our fireplace and left to another job. I requested an invoice for the work that was completed, and those items still left to complete, and received an email with an invoice for $2,000. I cancelled the remainder of the work, and had another handyman complete everything. After I cancelled the remaining work, his final invoice to me was $504, after haggling for a few minutes over the actual time and materials that were used. Miguel is a very good electrician, but get a firm-bid from him prior to any work getting completed. read more

We contacted Good News Electric to install a pair of outdoor lamps on the outside of our home and they did a great job with the installation! Miguel was very professional and provided a free estimate with a written quote of the work to be done. His estimate was very fair and he was available almost immediately to start the project. Miguel and his team showed up on time and they were very thorough. They completed the installation of the lamps and had everything cleaned up in a little over 4 hours. I will definitely use Good News Electric for any of my future electrical projects! read more

Awesome! I had Miguel hook up my Ring floodlight about a year ago and was very happy with service. Fast forward to today we added a Ring doorbell and couldn't be happier. This time he had to make my wife happy along with me and pass in flying colors. Miguel prices are competitive and he showed a lot of patience working with us. Job well done! read more

Miguel was very professional all around. His work was done in a good manner of time. He was always accessible and personable. He did important electric panel replacing and contacted the city for all things necessary. He made sure to leave the property as good or even better than before they started. I appreciate his work ethic read more

Hello ! This is the second time you wanted to reschedule the first time I was willing to work with you. Also I was being patience to wait 2 weeks for you. Now you want to reschedule again hello. You can't even keep your word for this appointment. I have a lot of work being done after the initial electrically work now I have to reschedule these other jobs. I don't trust you anymore nor do I want to hire you anymore. I'll hire another electrician that is more reliable and that will keep his appointment as scheduled. I'll rate this as unreliable ! Bad News ! I do recommend this company at all ! read more

I only communicated with Miguel through a couple texts to have him work in my Mom's new home and I already knew he was professional and super nice! Unfortunately, he only had free time slots when I worked but I knew my mom was in good hands. According to my mom, "Miguel and his employee were very kind and professional and they made sure everything was perfect. They were even nice enough to hang some things for me :)" When I came home, I was more than happy with Miguel's work! I am very OCD and anal and the two big tv's that were hung were done PERFECTLY. I recommend Miguel and his team to everyone! read more

I've been really busy with life, and Miguel was there to make things happen quickly. The project was a set of lights I had installed a year prior, where one was not operating. We wanted to add a set of lights to the front of the garage as well. He completed the repair immediately on the lights that were already up in a few minutes and came back a week later to install the new lights. They are amazing. We are so happy with his crew and their service. More projects to come in the future. Great prices!! read more

I am so grateful to Miguel. We were on a time crunch with our repairs, and he came out the same day - free of charge - to diagnose and repair the electrical issues in the house. He explained everything thoroughly, ensuring I understood the scope of his job. He is very quick to respond, very patient, and works quickly. I will definitely use him in the future and am really glad with the work. read more

Run and look elsewhere! So I need two or three wall receptacles and one outside receptacle repaired or replaced. After a msg to Good New via Yelp, I finally connect with Miguel on the phone. I start to explain what I need, he almost immediately interrupts and asks how many bedrooms, single or two story, etc etc. I answer, then he immediately states that he recommends that he go through the entire house and replace all the receptacles, and it will only cost me around $1,200. He never took the time to listen to my problem and why I called. He has no idea what year this house was built, whether the receptacles I need replacing are in the garage/house/other, are they recently installed and went bad, or hmm, any of several questions I would expect he ask. No, he simply and immediately attempts to sell me something I don't need for a quick $1,200. Look elsewhere. My suspicion is you'll be taken for a ride here. He may do a good job, not sure, but he'll likely get a good chunk of your money, much of which you may not need to spend. What he won't get is my business. I don't recommend him for yours. I suspect he may take advantage of those that he can. read more

Miguel came over that same afternoon/evening and was able to diagnose and repair various issues we had in the house. He was fair and very knowledgeable about what it could be and was able to quickly and accurately diagnose the issue. Did not try to sell us stuff we didn't need and explained everything the entire time he was working at our house. Come from the auto industry (as a technician) it was great to deal with someone that was professional, honest, and good at his job! Thanks again Miguel!!! We highly recommend! read more

If you need an electrician, Good News Electric is a great choice! Miguel did a great job fixing my outlets, which had been damaged by moisture and were out of date. He changed out the old ones, routed a new one, and made suggestions for improvements around the house. He does good work and responds very quickly to calls. His pricing is reasonable and I liked that he worked with my schedule and left his work area clean after completing the work. After the initial job he came back to install my ceiling fan and offered to help with the range hood that had just been delivered that day, again quoting me a fair price on the spot. I am really thankful to have found him through Yelp! read more

Miguel was referred to me by my grand daughter for electrical outlets that didn't work and repaired my fuse box. excellent and very reasonable. I referred him to my aunt Dolores as she needed a Ceiling Fan replaced. Miguel went to her home right away and completed the job including other electrical fixtures. Aunt Dolores was impressed and with not only his work but his price and communication skills. Very patient man with kindness. Thank you again Miguel Mrs. Olivia J. Solomon read more

Miguel did a thorough job and was very good at setting up a convenient appoint time that was best for me. I needed a 50 amp double pole breaker Gfci breaker replaced that kept tripping when I ran my spa heater. To my surprise, Miguel showed me that the breaker was wired incorrectly with the ground wire not screwed into the breaker....which really provide no ground fault protection to the spa. This was like this for over 20 years originally installed incorrectly by the spa company. Miguel, thank you for not only fixing the problem, but actually making the circuit safe for use, Highly recommended, read more

Called Good News Electric due to reviews on yelp, I had a switch that shorted out my circuit breaker when plugged in my electrical accessory. Miguel came out and changed the circuit breaker but not the switch that I plugged into that cause the shortage. He suggested me change out all my switches in my home I rejected the $3,000 job but allow him to change my lights and the circuit breaker as well all the job cost over $300.00. The very next day I plugged in my accessory and the same thing happen, the circuit breaker blew again. I called Miguel and told him what happen and ask how come he didn't change the switch that I was plugging my accessory into along with the circuit breaker? I wasn't given a good answer but told me it would cost additional $200 to come back to change the plug. I was so mad that he did not guarantee his work and wanted to charge for coming to correct the problem. I told him I would not pay $200 and he finally agreed in $100.00 but there's no way I should have been charged additional money for a job not done right. I would not suggest this company it wasn't "Good News" for me!!! read more

I just needed an extra outlet put in my garage for a freezer. Miguel came over when we agreed, gave me an estimate and installed it very quickly.

I would definitely use Good News Electric again! read more

Look no further. Miguel from Good News Electric is our new go-to electrician. I had a response via Yelp with 30 minutes or so. Communication was great, he was early for our appointment and he was very informative. The service call was $120 (plus parts and tax) and gave us economical options. Also provided quotes for future work. Another great Yelp find! read more

Excellent work and very nice, neat job. Miguel not only was very competitive with his rate, but he performs a very high quality level of work. I'm excited to have him come back and take care of future projects for me. read more

Very professional and timely. Installed x2 one-way "smart" dimmer switches that work seamlessly with google assistant. In addition, advised about 3-way dimmer option for future upgrades. Unfortunately, 3-way smart dimmer (martin jerry brand) will not be released until Q12019. No fault of Good News Electrical. I would call again for future electrical work. I highly recommend! read more

I found Miguel online and hired him today to help me switch out an old hard-wired stove into a three prong outlet for my new range. Can't thank him enough. I called, set up an appointment (after he went over an estimate with me) and a now the work is done. I'm really happy with the quality of the work and his professionalism. Definitely would recommend him. I'm most likely going to have him return to do some other work for me. read more

Miguel came out to diagnose a power issue we were having.

I found Good News Electric on Yelp. When I called Miguel he picked up the phone immediately. I explained the electrical issue I was having in the Master Bedroom bathroom. Within 10 minutes, Miguel identified, fixed and showed/explained the issues we were having. I must say, Miguel is truly and expert in his trade and if you want something done immediately and correct the first time give Good News Electric a call. You will not be disappointed! I would definitely and highly recommend Miguel to get electrical job done. read more

5 star experience for sure. After power went out in part of our living room and stairs and the circuit breaker would not reset, I yelped a local electrician and found Miguel at Good News Electric. Called him at 6PM and he asked me if I wanted him to come by right now. I sure did. 15 minutes later, he was knocking on my front door. He said he was an expert troubleshooter and he was not lying. Through process of elimination, he found the problem. Sloppy wiring job by the original electrical contractor. He fixed this quick and was gone but not before he gave me recommendations for new LED light bulbs throughout the house. Miguel was responsive, quick, honest and I will call him again for sure. read more

Miguel was awesome... very thorough figuring out why my kitchen appliances all lost power. He found the problem quickly and fixed even quicker than that. Glad to have found an honest reliable electrician. read more

Highly recommend Good News Electric. Messaged over Yelp and received a quote the same day. Scheduled for Miguel to arrive two days later. We had him install 3 hanging pendants that were on our tall slanted ceilings. He did it in just about an hour with no issues. He even dealt with a manufacturing issue of one of the lights that made it too short--was able to fix it using supplies from another light and you can't tell the difference. read more

Miguel was great at helping set up my doorbell video camera after the original installation tech couldn't get power to it. He came the same day I called him, was patient and very professional. I would highly recommend and will use for any future electrical needs. read more

Miguel was very polite on the phone. He came to my house right away to do a quote (which was fairly priced). I agreed to the price and he started the work right away. He installed 3 very detailed chandelier lights, put two dimmer switches on and even did a couple extra things (put hardware handles on cabinet & cover up holes in wall). He also switched out two bulbs to LED for me on a high ceiling above my staircase. He did a meticulous job and I would definitely recommend him! read more

Miguel came out prompt and on time every time. I needed a dedicated plug for my electric car in the garage. He helped me brain storm on placement of receptacle box for easy access and for future usage. Miguel went above and beyond what I was expecting, he cut the drywall clean and placed it back without noticing it was opened. He was also nice and professional and did the work fast wth high quality. read more
