My husband and I hired Inception to rewire our 1924 home and add some new lights and outlets back…read morein 2020. The worked on our home during March but then finished in August due to some of the city shutdowns. At first, there were some minor issues, such as their new hires trying to avoid installing an outlet for a security camera (it was in the attic so the camera could be outdoors above the main entrance). After everything, we noticed that several mistakes were made, such as the two switches at the front were both connected to the outdoor lights, making the separate functions for the living room light and the outdoor lights pointless. We had to always leave the switches on and then find a light that could work with additional device switches. There was also an issue like this on one of the switches in the kichen, where we don't have separate control over the two different floodlights in the backyard and driveway. Annoying, but we dealt with it because we knew Marco had some new hires during the pandemic and things were just chaotic at the time. I am coming back after 6 years to leave this review because a couple of years ago, we noticed our lights would flicker. It has become worse and is now at the point where we cannot run power tools for working in our garage. We have had to request two second opinions on the electrical work to see what is going on, and both have shown that Marco's rewire was not what we paid for nor was it done well. Some of the electrical wiring was not replaced when we were charged $4500 for replacing all the wiring (we did all the patching on the walls and along with some additional outlets, which saved some money, and the full price was $4800). Marco and the guys he hired also left some of the kitchen wiring in tact that should have been replaced (even though it wasn't knob and tube, it was around 20-30 years old, and I had specifically requested for everything to be new given the poor state of the home from the previous owner who rented it out). The second opinions are certain that most of the wiring they can see in the panel and in the attic are much older than 6 years. We have also identfied the main problem as being with how the rewire was done. Far too many wires were bound together and distributed unevenly into the electrical box. Over several years, the wires are generating too much heat due to the poor techinque of how so many wires were bundled together and run to the same sections of the electrical panel. We are facing another expensive bill of thousands of dollars to make sure our home does not have fire risk and that we can run basic tools and appliances without any issues. The fact that he and his guys did not take a woman homeowner seriously from the start with some of the smaller things should have been enough of a red flag to fire them before they caused the damage they have. My husband mostly worked with them to try to get them to listen to us, but in the end, their work was shoddy and as family, friends, and consultants have explained to us, their sloppy work is the type that won't have issues until late enough that most people won't realize it was their fault. What a scam. And now that I see on other Yelp reviews that Marco sold the company, I wonder why he sold it. If Marco is still out there doing work, I'd avoid him just as much as it seems everyone should avoid Trout or the new buyers.

First of all, I used Inception Electric for prior work and they were always fairly priced, easy to…read morecommunicate with, and I was satisfied with the work. Inception was bought by Trout Electric and they did not transfer previous clients apparently because they had no record of me. That is OK. It happens and wouldn't affect the work. Trout Electric was polite over the phone. Quick response. Clearly cared about your home as they put on booties every time they entered. Estimate was very high. As an example. I wanted a ceiling fan installed. I wanted other work done as well, but the fan was needed ASAP. Their estimate was very high: $695, which was even higher than their own fee schedule sheet. I got an estimated $300 flat rate from another vendor to install the fan. They came out and completed it within a couple hours. I can't say I would use Trout, but besides price they were fine. But their price was eye watering.

The whole process took about 4 weeks: 1) Approximately two weeks for the utility company to approve the installation, 2) a day for the installation, and 3) approximately two weeks for the utility company to verify the installation. New Quest Electric did the stucco work during the verification process. New Quest Electric is a no-nonsense company - they are there to work.

He even took the time to greet my children and was very warm and friendly with them. Daniel was able to determine that a faulty line/wire was causing the power issues in the bedrooms. After checking the attic, he also discovered some problematic wiring and conditions involving the subpanel. He recommended running new wiring and replacing a damaged breaker in the attic panel, which would not only fix the problem but provide a much safer setup and help prevent potential hazards like an electrical fire. The price was fair, and the work took about two hours, just as he estimated. He worked diligently the entire time without taking a break. I honestly felt bad for him being up in our attic because it had to be easily 120° up there! I offered him water throughout the job, which he graciously accepted. Before leaving, Daniel also gave me an estimate to upgrade our existing breaker box. That price seemed very reasonable as well, especially compared to estimates I've received from other companies in the past. Overall, great experience. Daniel was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and got the problem taken care of. We'll definitely be reaching out to Nick' Electric again for future electrical repairs and other work. Thanks again, Daniel!

Mike, the owner, was extremely responsive from the start and did an excellent job explaining the process every step of the way. His knowledge and expertise were evident right away. I had an older fluorescent light fixture that had stopped working, and the replacement part needed was no longer being manufactured. Mike and his son were able to rewire the fixture and get it working again. They arrived on time, were professional, courteous, and quickly assessed the issue. They made a trip to Home Depot to get the necessary parts, returned promptly, and completed the repair efficiently. Their workmanship was excellent, and they left everything in great condition. On top of the outstanding service, they charged a fair and reasonable price. It's refreshing to find a family-owned business that takes such pride in their work and customer service. I would not hesitate to recommend West Coast Electric to my friends and family and will definitely call them again for any future electrical needs.

Since the electrician was my neighbor and I needed the work done quickly, I trusted the verbal estimate and didn't ask for a written quote.

Looking back, I'd recommend getting everything in writing beforehand.

He worked with limited space (small sub-panel) and some neutral wire length constraints. Rather than try to upsell another, more costly solution, he was able to work with what I had to produce a high quality result at a very competitive price. The second work item I had Peter help me with was installing a 40 amp 2 pole breaker and an accompanying NEMA 14-50 receptacle for EV charging. He did a fast, clean and high quality job. Everything works perfectly! Before coming, Peter and I corresponded a lot through phone and text. He asked me great questions about my specific use case and tailored a solution to my use case. I appreciated how thoughtful and thorough he was in explaining everything he wanted and needed to do. He kept exactly to what we discussed and didn't try to upsell/do any necessary work. This was a very honest and pleasant experience. Price wise, he was the most competitive by far (probably because he was the most honest about what he would do). I contacted 4 other electricians and they all quoted $300-1500 above Peter's quote. They also tried to do a lot of unnecessary, expensive work. I will definitely have Peter come out again if I have any other electrical needs.

He initially came for one issue, but I ended up throwing a few curveballs his way with other electrical problems around the house. He didn't hesitate at all and jumped right into diagnosing why 2 out of the 4 outlets in my daughter's room weren't working. He was easy to talk to, straightforward, and took the time to listen. His pricing felt very fair for the work involved. I've worked with electricians in the past who never warned me about potential wall damage and left me with holes to patch afterward. Jason was upfront about any caulking or minor wall impact before prying off the plates and made sure I was okay with it first, which I really appreciated.

Someone who cares about the job being done the right way, efficiently? Well I had researched around 7-8 electricians on Yelp & other electricians that I personally know, and I landed with Jason at AES. Jason was 2nd company to come and give me a quote, and he was very responsive, knowledgeable, and straightforward. If I leaned on certain idea, he would tell me if its doable and tried to complete the job as I requested. Some labor professionals (electricians, contractors, painter, etc) tend to have strong opinions of their own and suggest their way but Jason listened and was willing to do his best to accommodate my request as long as it was reasonable. His prices are more than fair, excellent customer service, on time arrival, and very detailed/fine electrical work. He brought his team early AM to complete the EV charging station installation & replacing entire circuit breaker before the sunset. I was very pleased with his work, and I highly recommend anyone who needs electrical work. He does not provide patching drywalls & paint color matching, but i learned that many electrician companies doesn't provide dry patching/color match painting. Thank you Jason for your excellence and i hope to see you soon for any electrical work in the future. Merry Christmas & Happy new years! Bryan
