We had a great experience working with these guys. LADWP also mentioned that their work was exceptional when they turned on the panels. Very courteous and all around great guys. We will hire them again. Thank you! read more

Intelectric - This is the panel we hired them to do. - Electricians Near Me - Los Angeles, California

An amazing company! I had a somewhat difficult job, needing a complete rewiring for my back yard, including a home theatre system and a motorized projector screen. The prior electrician had pretty much mucked everything up, causing countless problems. I made one call to Intelectric and my problems would soon be solved. From the friendly receptionist (I apologize as I don't recall her name), to Mitch (who I believe is the owner), to the two technicians who came by, everyone was incredibly profession and proficient. Intelectric came out to quote me the very same day I called. The quote was more than reasonable, and they finished the job in less than a day, cleaning up after themselves. It was truly an exceptional experience. While you never hope to have to call an electrician, when you need an electrician, your first and only call should be to Intelectric. read more

letter grade of F would be generous. We awarded the job to bring our house to code, rewire, properly ground etc. the work was a total disaster - less than three foot ground rod vs 8 foot code, not buried, wrong location, almost nothing proper to code. lots of areas where the electrical conduit is directly touching copper plumbing. ground wire to water main not right. work inside the walls not done right. no response or offer of resolution from the company who went dark once they got the money. not responsive. huge regrets we ever ran into this firm - there are so many great companies out there - this is not one of them. really disgusting read more

Amazing Rivian charger installation experience! The team was on time, very knowledgeable, worked cleanly, and answered all of my questions. I got a few other quotes, but their fair pricing, ease of scheduling, and prompt communication were unmatched. I will definitely recommend and hire them again! read more

Intelectric - Electricians Near Me - Los Angeles, California

In the past years, I've had a significant amount of work done at my home such as a installing an electric vehicle charger in my garage, replacing inside wiring, updating the main panel, and also front landscape lighting. It was done with the utmost quality and professionalism. They've been around for many years. Highly recommend. read more

Really bad experience with this company. The lone serviceman was nice enough, but was not able to figure out how to properly install camera doorbells. Kept having to come back and every time was a service charge. Finally wrote a letter to the owner complaining and the receptionist called me saying "the owner wants to make it right." So the same tech comes over and half-fixes it (really not) and then the owner has the cajones to bill be yet again. I spent close to $500 for a job that many consider DIY. Horrible experience and recommend everyone to stay away. read more

Intelectric team was great in a recent EV charge install. I sourced multiple quotes prior to hiring Intelectric, and I felt Mitch was on the upper end of electric companies in terms of knowledge and professionalism. When you factor in their competitive price, it was a no brainer. During the planning/approach, Mitch suggested subtle nuances to future proof our building for other neighbors. His team did a great job on the install itself and when we noticed one minor hiccup, they corrected it right away even on a Saturday. For EV charging install, I highly recommend. read more

THE INCIDENT So, I had an unusual problem. A circuit breaker died in my breaker box. I had had problems before on the kitchen's circuit with running a toaster and George Foreman at the same time. This was a different circuit. When I was away from home, my fiance was heating up leftovers in the microwave, watching TV and running the washer. All were on the same circuit. Bam! All of a sudden everything went out. Darkness in half the house. Over the phone, I had her check a few things. The circuit breaker wouldn't reset or turn back on. It was four switches with the center two tied together in a "2-20" configuration. I checked around on the Internet but since I didn't have any experience with breaker boxes, I decided to call an electrician and have it done right. THE SEARCH I checked online for an electrician. Angie's List http://www.angieslist.com/ required a paid subscription. YellowBook http://www.yellowbook.com/ was just pages of names and phone numbers without useful info. Bing http://www.bing.com/ was better. It linked me to Yelp reviews which I appreciated. First, I contacted Powell Electric and was greeted by a call intake person who knew nothing about electrical work. They said flatly, "$99 to come out applied to the job if you use us." Yelp told me that they could be 2-3x what other companies charged. No dice. Next, I called West LA Electric. $95 to come out. I don't like that model. What if I don't feel comfortable with them. Still, an almost $100 hit! Finally, I called Intelectric. Lorraine answered the phone. I told her that I was a "small potatoes" home owner who most likely needed a circuit breaker replaced. She was bright and cheery. Offered help right away. Then, she offered to let me speak to the Service Manager before scheduling my call to take in more info! Really? Awesome! That's the way it should be. Rob the Service Manager was very helpful. He guided me on how to find the manufacturer, amp rating and location of the bad circuit breaker. This is FRIDAY AFTERNOON and he still managed to schedule a tech to come out by 5PM! SERVICE CALL Robert the Electrician came out. He was dressed professionally, wore boot booties and carried all of the necessary tools to get the job done. He had to bring a substitute circuit breaker (different manufacturer) because the matching one was on order from their same-day supplier. Intelectric wanted to get me up and running ASAP! Within about 20 minutes, Robert disconnected the wires, tested the circuit, replaced the bad circuit breaker and hooked everything up again. He tested the circuit several times with a voltmeter. A-OK. He also checked my other circuit breakers to make sure the gauge of the wire matched the amps of the circuit breaker (very important!) All-in-all, it took about 1/2HR and I was up and running again! Robert told me to contact Intelectric on Monday to find out when the matching circuit breaker would be arrive. He had me get on the phone with Rob to verify that there wouldn't be an additional charge to quickly swap out the circuit breaker. All good. FOLLOW-UP On Monday mid-day I got a call from Chris who said they were still waiting on the part but would let me know when they received it. On Tuesday morning, I received a call from Lorraine that the matching circuit breaker had arrived and they would try to schedule Robert to return based on the timing at his first job. I received several more informative calls. They offered a service window of 12-2PM. Robert arrived on-time and swapped the circuit breaker. He was done in about five minutes. I wrote a check for the circuit breaker, wished him well and ended the service call. CONCLUSION I'm writing this review right after Robert left. He's a big Lakers fan judging by his ever-present cap. Intelectric's service was, in my opinion, a slam dunk! My fiance and I are all set now with the matching circuit breaker, consistent electricity and functional knowledge of our breaker box. Thank you Intelectric! TOTAL COST: $95/HR for 1HR and $32 for the part = $127 read more

I tried and tried to give zero stars but Yelp won't allow it. Run for the hills. Intelectric bilked us out of thousands of dollars. Unscrupulous people, shoddy work and Mitch the owner has major anger issues. Take my word for it, run. read more

They did careful, neat and good work. Outdoors they did troubleshooting to fix the power connection to a pump for a waterfall and some landscape lighting. They moved the connection to a location that was sheltered from the weather and easier to access. The first installation by another electrician should have been as good. Intelectric made a great fix and exactly the way I wanted. Indoors they had to fix fix a Lightolier lighting panel for our Master bathroom. The panel was operational but the power supply had been disconnected. They very diligently figured out that the panel was operating (and did so in a fashion to ensure no short that might damage the panel. They also had to trace to find what was wrong with the power supply to the panel and fixed the connection. There were 4 possibilities. They reconnected and reinstalled the panel. An electrician came with an assistant and the electrician efficiently used the assistant to do the outdoor work while he did the troubleshooting on the indoor work. They are a fair price a liitle high but fair and for us the efficient use of the assistant made it a good deal, that we were pleased with. The right people for the job. Courteous and neat and cleaned up after themselves. read more

Amazing Job! Mitch came by to assess the property and provided a number of excellent suggestions. After we came to an agreement, Mitch dispatched two of his incredibly talented electricians, Robert and Jesse to perform the work. Robert and Jesse showed up on time (in fact a few minutes early, which was a welcome change from other companies) and began the three-day job. Upon the end of the first day, the work was partially completed (as promised), and you couldn't even tell they had been there, as everything was even cleaner than when they started. The same was true for the second day. They finished up, on time, as promised on the third day, and did an incredible job. The rewiring was completed without a hitch. The installed lights are great, and frankly, much better than I ever could have expected. They did a thoroughly professional job. Communication from office manager Gladys was timely and polite, and I was kept abreast of the progress on a daily basis. The final price came in even lower than expected. If you are in need of electrical work, your first and only stop should be INTELECTRIC. read more

I had purchased a property that had the original electrical box and I enlisted Mitch to come in to set that up as well as replace some of the outlets with CGFIs. He did a great job for a fair price and even pulled the necessary permits for the work, which can be extremely time consuming with a busy work schedule. His assistant Gladys was also great at keeping me informed and helping the project go as quickly and smoothly as possible. I will definitely be going back to them for future electrical work. read more

I called Intelectric for an immediate service to fix an electrical problem in my house. The electrician was on time and correctly identified the problem in as a short circuit. Unfortunately he spent more time trying to convince me that the problem was with the old wires in my house rather than finding the problem and fixing it. The whole process took a little over an hour and cost me $95. To his credit he did "fix" the problem by sealing off outlets (that I wanted and needed) and he told me the only way to truly fix it (and get my sealed outlet back) was to rewire the house which would cost between $3000-$4500 for 2-3 days of work at $1500 a day. Even though I felt that was being hard sold a service, and felt he did the best he could and I did believe his rewiring recommendation. I live in a 60 year old house and things are bound to break down. So, as a responsible consumer, I contacted another electrician to get another bid. This is when my opinion of Intelectric turned south. The other electrician came in and actually found the short and fixed my original problem and unsealed my outlets that I needed.... All in about 20 minutes. He also explained to me the difficulties of rewiring an old house and that rewiring should only be done room by room when needed. He laughed at the idea that my whole house could be rewired in 2-3 days and that my house would look like a bomb exploded because of all the holes they would have to punch in my walls. At this point my opinion wasn't completely negative. However, a day or so later I got a call from a sales person at Intelectric asking me if I was still interested in replacing my power box outside. I explained to him that my outside box was new and that the electrician told me that I needed to rewire my house. He then asked me if I was interested in rewiring.... I politely declined. Perhaps they do very good work on rewiring or other electrical projects, but they are a bit dishonest I would not hire them for a troubleshooting job. I feel like I paid them $95 to find other things wrong with my house and give me a sales pitch. I am very disappointed and I would not hire or recommend them for any work. read more

Very unprofessional. Paid $500 for a hand drawn diagram of the wiring for ev charging. If I knew it was going to be that quality I would have drawn it myself while they were speaking to me, or asked a 10 yr old to draw it. We told them it would take us time to schedule the work, they kept sending emails asking us for an update. But conveniently stopped responding to emails and request for refunds once they realized that our HOA only wants ladwp to do to the work and we weren't going ahead with them. Lady on the phone realizes that this situation may warrant a refund, tells me that they may be able to offer a partial refund, but emails that her boss vetoed her decision because he gave us "A" diagram. So you call her for each thing you need, she needs to talk to the manager/owner and emails the response. But never follows up to my responses. I need to call again, sometimes twice because they forget/ignore. Never been treated this way by any business before. Very disappointing. read more

I had a hard time deciding between 2-stars and 3-stars. There are some good things about this company, but in the end I can't give a good score because two very expensive service calls later, my problem still exists despite throwing over $2000 at it. About three years ago, a sep-pump for the add-on of our house died. We called both a plumber and Intelectric. The plumber came out and installed a brand new sep pump. They highly suggested that we have the electrician install a direct power supply line with a dedicated switch. When the Intelectric electrician arrived, his suggestion was to add another circuit to that part of the house so the outlet could be dedicated to the sep pump. I agreed to his suggestion, and It worked for about a day and a half before it blew the circuit. Then we got a rush of sewage all over the floor AGAIN and couldn't use that room AGAIN. I had the plumbers come back out and they dug the pump up and said that it tested out fine, meaning that the issue was with the circuit. So I once again called Intelectric for service and after they finished it worked again... this time for just a half a day. No matter what outlet I plug into, the trips it instantly. It's utterly frustrating, because we have been unable to use this space as we had envisioned. Perhaps there is a voltage cap or current issue here, but I would hope that the electricians would recognize that problem. Perhaps there is some other issue, but I would hope that between two electrician visits and two plumber visits that it would be resolved. Plenty of people in this area have the same system and it doesn't trip every time. Ours didn't trip for over a year, but has been trouble since. On the positive side, the two electricians were very nice and seemed skilled at the hands-on aspects of their craft. On the negative side, I'm very disappointed that the problem has not been fixed despite the number of visits. I'm generally a pretty easy going guy about things and give a lot of leeway. But after a second unsuccessful and expensive house call, my patience is exhausted. I'm done with Intelectric and am a little hesitant to trust Angie's list for the next company we choose. read more

I have used Intelectric for over 10 years for my home and rental units. I have found the owners and electricians to be incredibly professional and knowledgable. They are meticulous in their work and estimates. They are sophisticated and have yet to be stumped in situations that have involved sophisticated solutions. In one property I own, they rewired the entire home. You definitely pay for what you get and I would offer my unhesitating recommendation to Mitch, Karen, Lori and Lorraine. Excellent service. read more

Have used these folks for many years. Over the weekend the bathroom wall heater went on and scared me to death. No way to get it off without turning the entire power to out apt. Eric came early Monday and removed the unit and cleaned up the whole mess. These are GREAT electricians and I trust them implicitly. read more

My sister referred Intelecrtic to me. I must say A+++++ I have to disagree with David, they didn't try and sell me anything I didn't need. I got 3 quotes from various electricians and Intelectric was the best quote that I received. Works were pleasant, clean and on time. I would def. use them again and also referred to all my family members.. read more

I wanted to post for these great guys again, as we just finished (finally) the master bathroom and needed some additional outlets. I called them back in and they remembered us! That really was a great feeling, and said a lot to me about their service. (silly thing really, but good CS goes a really long way with me) They were on time, got it done quickly and without any mess, and at a very reasonable price. They ARE my go-to electricians - I will use them every time! read more

Wonderful customer service! They really helped me out when the vent above my stove stopped working. Turned out the filter was badly clogged with debris - from the roof! - and just needed cleaning. Then when one of my smoke detectors just would not stop 'chirping', and I didn't know who to call, I called Intelectric again. No advance notice or appointment and I was already late for work - but they sent someone over immediately and solved the problem. Anything electrical, now I know who to call! My next project will likely be upgrading those smoke detectors to the now-required smoke + CO2 alarms. read more

In short, they do careful, clean and good work at a fair price. I did not say cheap, but I did not say expensive either. They untangled a set of electrical connections that were half working and half not working due the previous owner's screwed up wiring between two apartment units. It was time consuming. Their technician was an ace, and very patient. I had a billing issue with them which was resolved to my satisfaction. Just ask upfront what if any fees come with the repair visit, estimate, or follow-up repair work. read more

I was very happy with how quickly they were able to come to our sight, and diagnose our issues. The electricians were friendly, knowledgable, and professional. read more

Intelectric is the Best in the West!!! From the moment I called the office and I was greeted by a friendly professional voice I knew this company already stood out from the rest! The techincians are highly professional, clean, & accurate with their knowledge of electrical. Coming from a family of electricians I know quality work and they got it! After meeting Mitch I found he has serviced the westside area for years and helped many of my friends as well. I did my research before I called and I was very impressed with the experience Intelectric had under their belt. Many other shops are out to make a buck, this company is out to meet your electrical needs & make sure you are safe! Good Job Intelectric. read more

Intelectric is awesome!!! From the moment I contacted them I was greeted with a friendly professional human voice..(thank goodness not a recording). They came out on time, had very neat technicans who were very knowledgable and explained the whole process. I did not once feel I was being taken advatage of (as women). Intelectric came highly recommended through the Culver City Chamber of Commerce as well as my daughters school group email. Pricing is reasonable and fair! I am referring them to all my friends and family!!! Simply the best in the West!!! Great Job Guys ;) read more

Found Intelectric on Angie's list & hired them to rewire a building. Their pricing was reasonable & we were very pleased with their work. Our job was done on a fixed price bid, and even thought the project ended up being more effort than expected, company still went the extra mile to do work correctly & thoroughly. Crew was always on time, professional, knowledgable & thorough. I recommend them highly. read more

I would highly recommend this company if you have any electrical needs especially on the commercial side. We hired this company to replace an electrical panel that was cited by a city inspector for corrections and they made it extremely easy for us to get this job done and pass inspection. They even coordinated the entire job meaning I did not have to deal with the inspector at all, they did all that. They came out the same day I called them, they completed the entire job within one day and with minimal interruption to my business, and their staff was very professional and efficient throughout the process. It is always satisfying to see people take pride in their work and that is what I perceived working with Intelectric -- highly recommended read more

This is a company you should NEVER use. They came to my house to do some repair work. In doing so the cut a cable for my tv. I paid for the initial visit -over $300. When they back to check it out, they screwed in a lightbulb for us. I got a bill for $157 for that visit. I told them I would not pay it and months later they put it on my credit card. Outrageous. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would (believe me, I tried for 5 min to unclick that 1 star). Not only did they want waaaaaay too much for work on my new condo at the time in Culver City, they asked for a $250 deposit to inspect the premises, even though I already had an inspection done by the city. But I naively thought, whatever, and like an idiot I paid it, by check no less! If I had done credit, I could have have contested it. They do take credit, so use that in case you read this and still use them. When they came out, they quoted me for a bunch of stuff that I didn't need (including $125 for "troubleshooting balcony light switch"; the balcony lights are controlled by the building, not by me), citing that the city of Los Angeles requires these things. The condo was in CULVER CITY and had no such requirements. So unless these guys had magic re-zoning abilities, I was having none of it. When I told them I wanted/needed only certain items on their total quote, they were insistent that I take the full quote of over $3500, holding my deposit hostage if I did not use them. Apparently, their quote constitutes a "contract", (one I never signed, by the way), and according to them my deposit is tied up into this "contract". They did respond to my attempts to compromise, but they continued to be unreasonable about the services they wanted to charge me for, bottoming out at over $1000 of unnecessary services. In the end, I forfeited my deposit out of principle, and ended up using another electrician who charged me half the price for the same services I had requested without the pushy salesman tactics. I'll admit, I was a fool and they took advantage, so in essence, they earned their money. Call it tuition for a life lesson. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! read more

This is a fantastic company!!! I called with a last minute job and they fit me in with in 48 hours. The owner came to my house and was incredibly quick, thorough and I felt the rate was very competitive. I have had 2 jobs completed by Intelectric and both were completed with outstanding service. Great company!!! read more

Terrible experience with Intelectric. We hired them to do several things around our new house. They sent three people to get the work done. Two were actually working, albeit at a glacial pace. The third was there just to hang out, as far as I could tell. After three whole days of slow progress, they announced they were done, except for five lightbulbs that still needed to be changed. These were on a high ceiling, and they said they needed a special ladder. So then two guys showed up on a different day, and took three hours to change these lightbulbs. Much of the time was spent with these two looking up at the ceiling, doing absolutely nothing --they seemed to have no clue how to go about changing lightbulbs on a high ceiling. I assumed that this work was already included in their $6,000 bill, particularly because one of the lightbulbs had been changed by them before, and they had used the wrong kind, so they were fixing their mistake. But, no, they sent us another bill for over $800. For changing five lightbulbs. When I called to complain, they took $200 off the bill - basically acknowledging that they had double billed us for their own mistake as to the one light bulb. There was no price adjustment for the fact that they sent us people who had never done this before and had to reinvent the wheel while charging us over $200 an hour. Do not hire! read more

I am a single girl and recently bought a condo in Culver City. I saw a nice building and signage for Intelectric and decided to call them for a quote. The actual owner Mitch came by to do a walk thru and he was very pleasant. He knew his stuff and took time to go over all of my ideas and tell me what would work and what wouldn't work. I told him my budget and he said he would work within it. I was thinking of putting a large-type fixture in the kitchen but wanted soft lighting. Mitch suggested just a few cans dispersed throughout the kitchen and if I put them on a dimmer I would get just what I was looking for. He also suggested under cabinet lightining which wasn't too expensive and a fabulous idea! I just love the lighting in the kitchen now! They also changed out the old plugs and switches to these new flatter ones that really helped to update the look of the condo. They suggested and installed a new bathroom fixture which had a night light, fan and heater and was super quiet. I have dimmers throughout my condo and I love them. I had a really good experience with Intelectric and I would refer them to anyone in the market for a good electrician!! read more

this is how shockingly bad they are and their work is...they agree verbally then underwrite the contract Then do some of the work with cheaper materials and don't bury the electrical pipes and then over charge you....don't give them any credit cards as they charge you unauthorized charges....i am in legal dispute with them and will publish the case so all can see.... read more

These guys are great. They just installed a 50 amp outlet in my garage for an electric car. It wasn't an easy job to get the conduit to that particular location due to the design of my house, but they were professional, friendly and smart, and wound up doing beautiful work. Would hire them again in a second. read more
