Amazing skill, attention to detail, customer service and quality of work! Joe and his team of skilled electricians did a complete rewire of my 1940 Talmadge home. I got three bids from highly rated companies and Kensington electric was my clear choice based on their detailed inspection and thoughtful plan for the rewire. These older homes present challenges and mine was no different. When you start tracing back old wiring on a vintage house that has had multiple owners, you always run into complication from past remodels and work done by previous contractors. Joe and his guys worked through these issues, figured out solutions and options and completed the work with precision. They work hard and are always on time and professional. Joe has been in this business a long time and brings a level of wisdom to the game that will help you solve problems such as how best to future-proof your house, where to best set up security cameras and what color temperatures work best for specific lighting. He answers his phone when you call and is always attentive and focused on customer service. Kensington Electric checks every box. I'm so impressed! read more

Julien was quick, efficient, and educational. While I didn't end up needing any major repair, I appreciated his help and input on preventative measures. Thank you! read more

Julien came out and diagnosed the problem quickly and efficiently fixed the issue that I was having with a single room not receiving power to any outlets or switch. Not only that but he took the time to thoroughly explained the situation and looked at other projects that I am looking to do. Very fair and great service! read more

We had a plug that wasn't working and Julien came by on time and found out solution right away. He had excellent customer service and knowledgeable in his craft as an electrician. The price for the service itself was great as well. I would highly recommend Kensington Electric for their work! read more

I called Kensington electric for a second opinion after I was quoted $1200-1600 for a GFCI breaker replacement for my SPA from SRP electric. Julien came out and initially quoted $300 for the breaker replacement. He also mentioned that it was a possibility that even if I replaced the breaker it may short again if there was something wrong with the spa (something SRP did not mention). After some additional investigation he replaced my GFCI breaker for $500. He was friendly and efficient as well as honest. read more

Kensington Electric recently helped us by installing a solar battery and Tesla charger at our new house! They did an amazing, clean, and quick job. John and Chris did a very professional and clean install and were very attentive to details. The ownership and management team are also very helpful and responsive. I can't recommend them enough. They were also the best value from all the companies I reached out to. read more

After I put in my initial review for this company (that we ended up not using) the owner, Joseph reached out to us to see what had gone wrong and how he could make it better. The employee that had quoted us the outrageously high price had been let go from the company due to differences in integrity and ethics. Although our problem is now fixed with another electrician, we will remember how diligently the owner, Joseph reached out to us to try and fix the problem. I definitely respect when an owner cares so deeply for the reputation of his own company. read more

Julian from kensington electric arrived on time and helped solved my electrical needs. I will use them again when the time comes. Thanks

Julien came to our home today to check on our stove outlet. In the process of checking our fuses, he let us know our current panel was recalled because of safety risks and explained the safety issues. He gave us different prices and options to replace our electrical panel. Julien was professional, efficient and offered to check on any electrical issues we had in our household during his consult. read more

I had a great experience working with this company. They were extremely responsive and made themselves available when I needed them, which made the entire process feel smooth and well-managed. It's rare to find a team that values both efficiency and communication at this level. Highly recommend. read more

Wonderful service! Anjelica is extremely communicative with getting logistics set up, and Julien was punctual and did the job I needed without trying to upsell any other services. He was kind of enough to give me options regarding what I needed done vs. cost. Will 1000% call them again when I have other electrical needs. read more

I had a broken underground wire that powered my backyard shed. Kensington Electric provided me with a quote to replace an existing transformer that powered our patio and outdoor heater and to run a new wire from the transformer to the shed. Unfortunately, the heater was incorrectly wired and was not functioning after the installation. When I contacted Kensington Electric to address the issue, they insisted that everything was wired correctly. I had to reach out to the original heater installer, who came out and resolved the issue caused by Kensington Electric's error. However, Kensington reimbursed me for the cost of the second electrician and everything is now working great. Kensignton is a reliable company that makes sure the job is done right. read more

Highly recommend! Awesome service from start to finish. Joseph G. was extremely friendly and easy to work with. He explained everything clearly, showed up when he said he would, and the pricing was very fair. The quality of the work was excellent and everything was completed efficiently. It's refreshing to find a company that provides such great service at a great price. Made the whole process easy and stress-free! read more

They did a good job moving my light fixture in my dining room. They arrived on time and were thorough. I will use them again. i highly recommend their services read more

I can't recommend Joseph from Residential Electric Consultants enough. After a rainstorm, our power started cycling on and off, and we were in a pinch Sunday morning trying to save breast milk in the freezer. Joseph, the owner, (the only one of several electricians in San Diego we contacted that were supposedly 24/7 who responded) even though we weren't in his service area. He called back genuinely concerned, saying he has kids himself, and offered to drop everything, leave his family on a Sunday, and come out to us. When he arrived, he explained the issue in detail and even refused payment when he saw the situation we were in. Who does that these days? Since then, we've had him back for other electrical work, and my husband and I are continually impressed by his professionalism and knowledge. He's thorough, explains everything, and everything is done clearly and above board--no "cowboy" behavior here. At this point, we feel like we've found a family friend. Joseph is genuinely good, not just in it for the money, and we couldn't be happier to support his business. read more

My day started off with the police and SDG&E knocking on my door early in the morning. Apparently there were sparks or something flying from a pole on my street. The police shut down the street in front of my house. SDG&E dude showed me where some wires were touching metal on my house. See picture. I didn't know what to do so I called a good buddie of mine who's an electrician but he couldn't help me till later in the week. But the power was off to my house. I knew wifey was not gonna be happy. I went on Yelp cuz that's what I do when I'm in a bind. Help has their system where they will send you five referrals. One dude called me right away. It was Anthony. He asked a few questions and said he could be at my house in 20 minutes! I said let's do this. On the way home he called me with SDG&E on the line. We spoke three way so I could approve clearance for them to release info to Anthony. We got more info and by the time I got home here was there. He gave me an estimate and some different options. I chose the cheapest most affordable and speedy option. He also had a SDG&E insider who gave us more background info. He went to get some materials and started the job. I had to leave for work but my wife was home so gave her a check for the job and took off. Power is back on and wifey is happy. This dude is fast and efficient. Professional and knowledgable. I will going back to him when I add a new junction box and wiring for the house. I want to upgrade to 220 for future projects. read more

On-time, reasonable price for work. The scope was minor but execution was spot on nonetheless, and speaks to how these folks would take on a tougher service request. Happy with the outcome. read more

Great work, pricing, and customer service. Joseph helped me with my project. Will use again for future work.

I had multiple outlets in my home go out and so I set up a job request on Yelp. I had a few places text me with quotes to come look at the issue, but when Kensington electric called they said they would come out for free to find the issue because most of the time it's a tripped GFCI or something else very simple. John Iribe came out and after I explained to him that I found the GFCI that needing to be reset and that all of the outlets are back on, he still took the time to look at the outlets that went out and answered all of my questions. Very professional and really solidified that if I need any thing done this is the place I would call. read more

Great team with a lot of knowledge. They thought of things I did not and made our house more functional by doing so.

Fantastic service! Fast, well done, professional, and competitive pricing. I highly recommend!!

Half my house had no power because of an old Zinsco panel. Joseph came out and told me my options, gave me a no nonsense quote and got to work ASAP. Installed a brand new beautiful panel. Danny was awesome, they were professional, cleaned up after themselves, and left it better than they found it. read more

We had a great experience with Joseph and his team at Kensington Electric. They arrived early, were polite and professional throughout, and made the whole process feel smooth and well handled. We're really looking forward to working together again. read more

Joseph was able to quickly diagnose the issue and fixed it without any hassel. He was friendly, respectful and clearly experienced. I also appreciate how honest and upfront they were about pricing, no surprise extra costs at all. Its rare to find a company that combines professionalism, efficiency and great customer service but they nailed it! Wont hesitate to call them again! read more

I contacted Jospeh at R.E.C. after another company did a "no show'. They replied to me immediately, discussed options and set up an appointment to install my EV wall charger the next business day. They were organized and fast and the work was quality. I recommend them if you need an honest and reliable electrician. read more

Very professional and reliable from my initial phone call and upon arrival next day from start to finish. Staff was prepared and efficient. I had patio lighting fixtures replaced and they completed the install quickly. Also had electrical in a bedroom ceiling installed and very happy with the outcome. Highly recommended for services. We will be recommending !! Thank you read more

I can't say enough about Joseph, he came to my house and fixed damage done by another licensed electrician who didn't complete the job. He kept me informed and updated with any changes. I should've hired him first. Don't use anyone else on this app. read more

I was having a problem with a new AC unit and required quotes to help solve it. I received several offers to come do troubleshooting at a cost. Joseph requested i call him right away as he suspected the issue was not my system. He was kinda enough to explain the likely issue and offered reasonable suggestions that saved me wasting money. He did this all for free over the phone within 30 minutes of me requesting quotes cause he didn't want me to waste money. I will be keeping his information if I ever need an honest electrician with integrity! read more

If I could give Joseph a million stars I would! Joseph is professional, has integrity, highly skilled and provides clear and concise information. He is not pushy or demanding and is very forth coming with what can and cannot be done and/or explaining the process. His expertise on older craftsman unit properties we have in the North Park area was on point! He is an expert at his craft but again to be honest, kind, considerate with great pricing - just exceptional. I will be using Joseph for all our personal and rental property units - thanks again Joseph, you are the BEST! read more

As good as it gets. Wish the world worked as well as Joseph. He answered his phone. Took time to understand my need, to install a 240 outlet for a new appliance. He showed up the next day for a look, quoted a fair price and a few days later did the work quickly, expertly and as agreed. I will not bore you with all the stories of electricians that don't return calls, don't show up or overprice the job. Now I've got my electrician and he's as good as they get. read more

I cannot express how AMAZING Anthony is! My ceiling fan had a piece of the holder broke off and it was literally hanging on by the wires. I reached out and he was able to come and fix it for a very reasonable price. He remembered me from last year and he just really cares about his customers. I will ALWAYS trust him for my electrical needs! read more

I recently had the pleasure of working with Joseph from Residential Electrical Consultant, and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. Joseph was incredibly nice and very knowledgeable. He fixed my issue in less than an hour, which was something another big electric company couldn't resolve the weekend before. I initially chose Residential Electrical Consultant because of their 5.0-star rating on Yelp and the many positive comments. Joseph lived up to those high expectations. He was professional, knew his stuff, and provided excellent service at a very reasonable price. I got 4 or 5 estimates from different electricians, and Joseph's stood out from the rest. For all my electrical needs moving forward, I will definitely be using Joseph. Highly recommend! read more

Joseph, the owner, is legit. He is respectful of your time and money. His honesty in resolving our issue showed professionalism and ownership that is just hard to find in this day and age. His pricing is absolutely competitive and will find a solution for any electrical needs you have. read more

We chose Kensington Electric because of their high ratings, but our experience varied. Everything seems to be working well now, and the guys were diligent, but we did run into some problems that could have been avoided. They came out to do a smaller job but discovered another much more expensive project, which we did not question because of their ratings. In retrospect, we had no way of knowing if theirs was a fair price or not, so we should have stopped the work right away and gotten another proposal or two. Hopefully it was a fair price! The problems we experienced started when I noticed that they were using a single strand of thick copper wire to physically attach the power line to the new riser. I pointed that out and Joseph, one of the owners, said it was fine but that he would replace it with a braided cable at my request, which they did. Second, they were going to leave the cut-off wires from the original location of the meter exposed on the outside wall, and a Medusa-head of wires from the place where the SDGE feed originally entered the house, but again, cleaned them up and patched the holes at my request. Third, Joseph said that they would replace the ballasts on the two out of three original ceiling lamps that weren't working, but instead, replaced the existing lamps with new lamps that did not come close to matching the one remaining original lamp, without asking us if that's what we wanted. Unfortunately, they did not match the remaining original lamp, and my wife was not happy with them. Again, they agreed to replace those lamps and the remaining original one with the three new matching ones that we went out and bought, which they did this morning. Finally, Joseph assured us that he would check everything before they left, but the next day we discovered that the dimmer didn't work and that two switches were wired incorrectly, both switches turning on both lamps instead of one for each lamp. In spite of protestations that the dimmer problem could not have been caused by their work, Danny did replace the dimmer and corrected the remaining wiring glitch. At present, everything is working as promised, but it was a wild ride. Three stars, because they fixed everything I asked them to, and it's all working now. read more

Joseph was highly skilled and knowledgeable. He installed a hardwired 50Amp level 2 EV charger and helped me assess the best options for my older panel. He came fully prepared and Installed the EV Charger in under an hour. He even allowed me to finish setting up the account on my charger to fully test it and make sure it was working before he left. If you are looking to hire anyone for EV chargers this is your guy!! I cannot recommend him enough! read more

Our second time calling out to Joseph and he got back to us quickly. Amazing expertise and customer service. Would not hesitate to use again and wholeheartedly would recommend (and have!) to all our family and friends. He has our full confidence and our lifetime patronage. read more

Joseph just gained a loyal client for life! One of the canned lights in our kitchen started malfunctioning after an interior painting job. We thought the canned light needed a replacement. Today, Sunday, 10/27th, my husband attempted to replace the light that resulted in a short-circuit tripping off the breaker. We contacted several different Yelp recommended electricians in the area and spoke with 2. The other business quoted as immediately before asking what the problem is. Joseph, on the other hand, asked what the issue is and had us send him photos and told us what's wrong and give us step by step instructions on how to fix the problem. And I want to add that he was at a family Sunday event but was willing to come to our house later in the day if we were not able to follow his instructions. Fortunately, my husband was able to follow Joseph's instructions and our electrical problem was fixed at no cost. I am writing this review as an appreciation of Joseph and his business. We will definitely call Joseph again for any and all future electrical works at our house! read more
