Our garage light was flickering so badly it resembled a seizure trigger. I didn't know who to call,…read moreso I searched Yelp and found Ian Marsh of South Bay Electric. There were a series of excellent reviews. I sent hima a message and he got back to me right away. When we spoke, Ian himself walked me through the troubleshooting over the phone. He suggested it could be a bad bulb connection (take it out and clean the contacts) or an issue with the wall switch. Sure enough, it turned out to be our dimmer switch -- it just couldn't hold the charge properly and was causing the constant flickering. What really stands out is that Ian could have easily scheduled a service call and charged me a couple hundred bucks to come out. Instead, he gave me the exact fix for free and saved me the hassle and expense. In a world where so many companies push for paid visits, this level of honesty and helpfulness is rare and genuinely appreciated. While it cost me nothing, it cost him his time.I As a result, I promised Ian I'd write a glowing review, and here it is. If you're in the South Bay and need an electrician you can actually trust, call Ian Marsh South Bay Electric. Highly recommend! Rick

The folks over at South Bay Electric Company have been awesome. I can tell Ian is super busy but he…read morehas been very helpful with discussing my particular issue over the phone and text. They helped me prolong the life of an outdated main panel, and I will definitely be using them to replace it soon. This is in contrast to another company that quoted me almost twice as much for a panel replacement and seemed to employ scare tactics to try to get me to sign. After the initial service, there was an issue that was arguably unrelated, but Ian promptly sent someone out to fix the issue without fuss because it had gone unnoticed during the first visit. I also have nothing but good things to say about the folks working under Ian. They were all easy-going and willing to spend the few extra minutes to answer my questions, so that I understood the problem and the solution. Happy I finally found my go-to electrician!

These guys were one of the few that could handle the concrete work, and they also handle all the permit work as well. Staff worked hard, finished everything quickly and made sure the work site was clean as a whistle after they finished. Everyone was really friendly, from the receptionist on the phone, the staff and the people giving me estimates. It's been more than a year since I got my EV charger installed, and I haven't noticed any problems since then. Price-wise, I feel it was pretty fair especially considering how they made everything so convenient. All in all, they did everything well. I'd have no problems recommending them to others, and will likely go back to them when I need other things addressed in the house.

He replied within a minute of my message, and came to complete the job the next day, and on a weekend no less! His work is detail-oriented and flawless.

Beware of Price Gouging and Poor Quality Installation and Materials!! I recently had Nova Electric,…read moreSergio Garcia do my electrical work at my new home. He upgraded all my lighting, restroom fans, exterior lighting and add outlets throughout the home. His prices were extremely high and I allowed him to do the job as he is licensed and I assumed he would be doing professional work and guarantee his work. As he was doing some of the jobs everything seemed to be going well. His workers were nice and professional. Once he was installing my exterior lighting I was questioning the quality of the fixtures he was putting in. Since I was paying almost $50,000 for the job I assumed everything was top quality, i was wrong. He installed the cheapest lighting, fans, and exterior low voltage lights. Within a couple weeks the lights in my house were going out, the fans were rattling, and the wiring was coming up from exterior planters of which he assured me were going to installed 6"deep. Also he claimed to have the cleanest installation of which I was shocked to see was wrong. When I went to pay him he requested to pay him individually to not pay taxes. When I paid him he didn't provide me with receipts for the work or close out the invoices he originally provided me online. After the install I noticed he was using wire nuts not all weather clamps to install the exterior lighting since the wires were all coming up. Also my new LED can lights he installed started going out. Also the exterior lighting fixtures were falling apart as well. My bathroom fans started to rattle. Also i checked all the exterior wiring was not installed 6" under the ground like he put on his invoice. I tried to ask him to fix these items and provide me with my receipts and he didn't respond to me and has left me high and dry. Per law any licensed contractor has to provide a 1 year guarantee on their work. I called 2 other licensed contractors to provide the same estimates of the work he performed and their prices were 20-30% cheaper than his as well. He also acted as contractor for concrete and had my entry done with wrong finishes and color of which he is only licensed to do electrical not concrete or general contractor. Since he is non responsive, i now have to file a complaint with the licensing board and hire another electrician to fix the work he has done. I would not work with him again and I hope anyone gets second options on price and confirm the materials you use with Sergio Garcia and his company.

Steve exceeded my expectations by being flexible with the schedule of the other trades working the project and making time for our job on very short notice.
