This guy is such a joke i had to renew my review. We have now had to completely redo an entire house because of his lack of knowledge. The building inspector took Massella's information down to let other inspectors know. From the beginning Aaron was difficult to talk to. His narcissism was astounding. His customer service was non existent. It was like he was doing us a favor. Aaron and his crew cut every corner possible. Their work cost me and my company thousands of dollars to fix. This was the case on multiple houses. He failed to hook up one entire side of a house. I have been in this industry for more than 30 years and have never seen such poor workmanship, insane sense of self worth and condescension. STAY away and hire an electrician with morals, skills and scruples. read more

San Diegan's if you're looking for an electrician I'd like to recommend Aaron Massella! I still have remodeling to do in my house, but needed some lights changed out/new light work installations and some other minor electrical work (outlets/switches replaced) before I have my contractors back to remodel exterior of home and interior rooms. Aaron worked very quickly, professionally and did cleanup as they worked. Work was completed on time and my tenant and I were both very happy with the quality of work! read more

NO.....I was not happy with this company. To start the electrician who came to look at my project, had an argument with my HOA front desk over no parking by the front door. After that an appointment was set up. A message was sent to me to APPROVE the quote. I tried to do that. I tried three times to understand why or what or how to do the approval. I even called and questioned that I was having trouble. There was only frustration from the lady who answers the phone- with screaming baby in the background each time- and NO help to get me understanding HOW to do what they needed before setting up my appointment. Hence.....now it's all cancelled including my non-refundable service cost. AWFUL read more

Conduit fell down again. He basically guaranteed it wouldn't happen. I called when it did, but they were too busy to fix it. Oh well.

I got over fused wire issue on AC breaker I contacted Aaron and he responded very quickly even at late night. He diagonosed and explained the issue in detail so that we can understand what needed to be fixed. He fixed real quick and tested out to make sure everything was ok. I am very satisfied with the service and highly recommend Aaron. read more

amazing service! owner is very professional and knowledgeable the company did a great job with our electric box rewire, and they also came out same day to fix an electric issue in the house their electrician also went above and beyond, and helped me cover up a water heater that a plumber left exposed as a safety hazard so grateful for Massella, and we will keep using them for our home service :) thank you very much read more

TLDR; Kirsten and Aaron are amazing at what they do! Backstory: I recently bought a house from a flipper and failed to realize that they removed every coaxial outlet in the entire house when I did my final walk through. I explained the situation to COX and they told me they would be unable to help me until I got an electrician to run some new coaxial cable throughout the house. So, I used the Yelp quote feature and dispatched my quote to about 20 companies. Unfortunately, it was late on a Friday night, so my chances of getting someone out that night was slim. Massella Electric were the first to respond and by far the most professional, but unfortunately wouldn't have availability until Monday. I told them I'd get in contact with them if I was unable to find anyone that could help me over the weekend. Despite not knowing if I was a lock, they continued to ask questions and offer suggestions to find a solution. Fast forward to Monday. I was unable to get anyone out to my place over the weekend, so I contacted Massella. They said they would be able to get out to my place in the next hour. Aaron shows up, I show him where I want the coax installed, and he immediately dives in. Electricians are typically paid at an hourly rate and Massella is no different; however, Aaron doesn't try to run up the clock or work slow. He was extremely fast and efficient with his time. Within 2 hours, all of the work was done and I was finally able to get internet supplied to my house. Sorry for the long-winded review, but I wanted to highlight that their communication (through Kirsten), professionalism, and timeliness were beyond what I expected. Any future electrical project I have will be given to these Massella Electric without a second thought! Thanks Aaron and Kirsten! (Aaron even did a little drywall patch where he had to cut the firewall in the office, despite the fact that he didn't have to ) read more

If you're looking for honest, affordable, and impeccable service, look no further! Our experience with Massella Electric was nothing but pleasant from the get-go. Scheduling with Kirsten was a breeze, and she was able to somehow work her magic to get someone out when we would be home. (As most of us know, scheduling is usually the hardest part of ANY home repair!) When Aaron came out to complete the job, he was pleasant and tidy, and explained the upcoming process to me so that I knew exactly what to expect. Their quote was very fair, and they completed the work in a timely manner. Aaron even cleaned up as he went which was not expected! I am so pleased with the work they did on our home, and how they treated us like family through the whole process. I will refer them to anyone who needs electrical work! Thank you, Massella Electric! It's so refreshing to work with such a pleasant, family owned, local business! read more

I'm super happy with Aaron Massella and the service he provided! We're very thankful that our neighbor recommended him. Aaron was prompt, friendly, efficient and affordable. We had a circuit (including our AC during a heat wave) that suddenly and inexplicably went dead. Aaron was able to schedule us the next day, and he quickly diagnosed and repaired the problem for us, and all for a very fair price. I highly recommend Massella Electric! read more

Hired Aaron to come out to my office to install a TV. I had no idea what to do. Aaron worked quickly, made some great suggestions for best optimization and cleaned up the dust he had left. I highly recommend Aaron for your electrical needs! read more

We were looking for a qualified electrician to install a high lighting fixture in our entryway. Our friend recommended Massella Electric so we decided to try them out. They responded very quickly to our questions via Yelp. An unexpected delay came up on the day of our appointment, however, they notified us in advance and alerted us when Aaron was on the way (which was very much appreciated!). Replacement and installation of our new lighting fixture was smooth and quick. Price was also very reasonable. Great communication, dependable, qualified and very professional, we will definitely contact them again for our electrical needs. They also gave us a discount for being a first time customer:) read more

When my condo HOA decided to replace all of our exterior lighting I looked to my realtor Jonathan Olow for a recommendation. Aaron came and gave us a competitive quote and when he and James came to do the work they were right on time and were able to diagnosis a light sensor issue that several folks never could over the last 10 years. I was very pleased with their help and the buildings look great now at day and night read more

I am so thrilled I met and hired Aaron thru Thumbtack! It's such a relief to have finally met a reliable, trustworthy, fair-priced electrician that I know I will be sending business to for years to come, and for any further electrical needs I may have. Without exaggeration, Aaron was one of the most professional tradespeople I have ever hired in any category for any kind of work in our home. He was responsive in his communication from the quote process thru to scheduling, and confirming our appointment the day before. Besides being extremely knowledgeable in his trade, he had a can-do attitude and work ethic towards every one of the 6-7 projects I threw at him. He and his assistant completed all of them (about 8-10 hours worth of work between the two of them), exactly as described and charged me very fairly for work done. Finally, and although certainly not a requirement of being a good electrician, Aaron is just all-around, authentically good people! He's the kind of guy who wasn't just politely tolerating my very curious 3 year old son's desire to use his toy drill to "help;" he's the kind of guy who actually encouraged my son's curiosity, and graciously let him tag along as his side-kick helper. Like I said: not at all a requirement of the job, but it's always really refreshing to hire someone who's really competent and skilled in their trade, AND is good people. read more

I needed a new panel on a rental home I bought! I had no idea what the panel upgrade was going to take! Aaron and his team blew me away and the process to me in great detail and the upgrade was done in one little day! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I will be calling him for my commercial and residential work moving forward! read more

We did not have a light in our living room and we were changing out fixtures in our dining room. They came in and installed a ceiling fan where there was not an existing fixture and a semi flush mount where there used to be a fan. They were very considerate of our house and my toddler. They also did an excellent job. Plus they were extremely well priced and very professional! I would definitely recommend this company to everyone! read more

Aaron is one awesome dude! He transformed my home from ordinary to extraordinary! Aaron came out and listened to the things i needed done, wrote down every detail, and helped with suggestions on some things I wasn't sure of. Within a couple of days I received an email with a detailed quote on everything I wanted done. I messaged him back and accepted the quote and within a very short amount of time he scheduled a time that worked excellent with my schedule. Aaron is very professional and works extremely hard. This guy doesn't lounge around the job like some people do. He works his butt off to ensure quality work. I HIGHLY recommend this company for all your electrical needs! Thanks Aaron!!! (I'll be hiring you again to do that doorbell and outside light pretty soon) read more

I have used Aaron a couple times in my home to handle everything from new wiring, new breakers, oven installation, and updating my breaker box. His work has been efficient, smart, and reasonable. I have been able to count on him to get the job done correctly and fast. Thanks for the help! I highly recommend. read more

These people are the best. I called for help and they were out of town. But instead of saying they couldn't help, they talked me through and diagnosed the problem over the phone. I am amazed at their grace and good will. I will be using Aaron for all my electrician needs from here on out. read more

Incredible service - quick communicator, came out next day on a Saturday and kept our kitchen project on track, on budget, and on schedule. Phil and Aaron cleaned up after the project and came in right at the estimate. Really appreciate the work. read more

Massella Electric was great! They were friendly, professional, fast, provided great service and they're honest. Hard to come by these days. And they saved us a ton of $$. We highly recommend them. read more

We highly recommend Massella Electric .This is the best electrician we have ever had. He was efficient, fast and so nice ,friendly , funny and reliable. We had another electrician previously which did not know how to install what we needed. Aaron really knows his stuff. He also installed our "Sense " home monitoring system for our home. He is very experienced and was adept at following the Sense special installation manual . He left everything clean , and even impressed my wife with his professionalism . We will use him for all our electrician needs and refer him to our friends and neighbors . Thank you Aaron read more

I called Aaron with an electrical problem and glad we did. We had been getting the run around from SDG&E and out landlord about the crazy high electric bill. Aaron was able to come out that day to look at the house. He found the problem right away. What a burden off our back. He provided us with photos of the issue and a write up to hand to the landlord of what needed to be repaired. You are getting a pro when you call Aaron Massella. We will definitely be calling him for any electrical work. We are looking to install new lighting in our house and we are confident he can get the job done, the right way. 100% recommend Massella Electric :) read more

Aaron is a class act and very professional. He was so easy to work with. His quote was fair and blew the competition out of the water. Nobody came close to matching him and he stands behind his work offering a fixed rate for installation of 3 ceiling fans. Most electricians charge all kinds of fees just to show up and then they take their time on an hourly. Aaron scheduled an appointment at a convenient time for my wife. He was on time and finished expeditiously allowing her to go on with her day. The fans work great and I will be using Aaron from now on for any of my electrical needs outside of warranty work. read more

Massella Electric - Ceiling Fan - Electricians Near Me - San Diego, California

Aaron and Kirsten did an amazing job! We had a weird issue in our guest bathroom due to lazy electric work when our house was remodeled before we bought it. Kirsten responded to our request quickly and courteously. We got their email after regular business hours showing their dedication to good customer service! Both Aaron and Kirsten were super flexible and accommodating to our schedule when setting up our repair time. They also gave a 1 hour window, which is a breath of fresh air to some competitors who give you 3-4 hour appointment windows! From the initial email you could feel that both Aaron and Kirsten really cared about their business and their customers. This is something you can only find in a family owned business like Massella Electric. When Aaron arrived he was on time and ready to go. He was super positive and felt like an old friend was coming to visit! He took the time to explain everything he was doing and give us options on how to fix the issue. You definitely did not feel like he was pushing us into each option. In the end, our problem was solved and we felt like we made a new friend! We highly recommend Massella Electric! They are skilled, friendly, prompt, professional, and well priced! read more

I needed to upgrade my solar system, and was running into nothing but excuses from several solar installers. Thankfully, I finally found Massella Electric during one of my on-line searches. Aaron replied quickly, and positively, to my first inquiry. He came out a couple days later to inspect my system and discuss what I would like to have done. He and his associate were friendly and professional. They explained what would be needed in detail, and I could tell that they were both concerned with making sure things were done right and also with making sure they would provide the results what I wanted. Within a couple days Aaron got back to me with a detailed list of parts needed for my upgrade and gave me the option to order panels myself or just have him take care of everything. I opted for the latter, and his total cost was very competitive. The work was scheduled for a little over a week later, and it was completed all in one day as described. Everything was done professionally, and is working beautifully. Aaron kept in touch throughout the whole process and was always upfront and honest. I highly recommend Massella Electric, and I will use them again for future work. read more

I sent out an inquiry for a quote via Yelp Tuesday evening around 6:30pm. They responded within minutes of me sending out the inquiry. The quote was very fairly priced so I decided to go with them. They had Phil come out to my property next day at 6:30am which was perfect for me because I had work. Phil was great and very friendly. They quickly fixed the issue and all was working well. Massella Electric has a very prompt and timely service and I would definitely go back to them for any future electrical services. Amazing company. read more

Massella Electric is truly a 5-star company in terms of communication, work performance, and value. We had an ongoing outlet problem that stopped working. Another electric company could not resolve it. We called Massella; James resolved the issue within a couple hours. We are so pleased with Massella that we asked for an estimate for additional work. I did a walk-through with James of the work to be done. He came up with a couple ideas that in the long run will save us money. Massella's automated system is easy to use and informative from price quote to payment. Communication is swift and prompt. Massella's charges are reasonable, not as high as other electric companies, but their promptness and quality of their work surpasses most other companies we've dealt with. Thank you Massella Electric for a job very well done! read more

Super friendly, knowledgeable, and great customer service! Aaron was on time and knew exactly what he was talking about. I needed someone quick and last minute and he responded right away. I highly recommend them to anyone who is need or would like a great reliable electrician! Thank you guys so much for such great service, we will definitely be using you for any & ALL future services. read more

I had a customer who needed a fan swap and 2 kitchen gfi's that stopped working. Once he had the job in hand, he sent a bid over and was able to complete the work in a timely manner. Aaron was very communicative and his electrician James was very respectful (wearing a mask during these covid times), and completed all tasks on hand. With this going as smoothly as it did, I already have Aaron booked for a second job! read more

It was difficult to get a corrected estimate. On the plus side, they showed up when they said they would, and were competent, friendly, patient and polite (until after the job was over). During the estimate phase, we had discussed the need to do some work in the crawl space under the house, and to thread additional wiring through existing conduit. However, they decided that they would not work under the house or thread through existing conduit, but instead run new conduit on the outside of the house. That side of the house already had conduit on it, so I let it go. On one new outlet, they went through the ceiling because they didn't want to go under the house, which resulted in an extra hole in the wall that we'll have to patch ourselves, but they were considerate enough to keep the hole a regular shape and make it no larger than necessary. They finished the work quickly. I made the mistake of paying them after the first day, without a final walkthrough. They were in such a hurry to leave the second day that they skipped changing an outlet from one circuit to another and skipped one in-use cover they were supposed to install. I haven't yet been able to verify their seals on the penetration points. They then billed me $100 for a 50/20 breaker that sells for $30 at Home Depot, after using 3 tandem breakers I supplied (as a contingency) without reducing the price (the entire job was significantly more than these amounts). After the job, Aaron's tone changed. He was very contentious and demanded payment of the $100 in full immediately, without any negotiation over the omitted work or the parts I had supplied. Because my credit is valuable, I paid the amount, but I don't feel that I can call them again as neither of us are happy with the way the project ended. Since the end of the project, the overloaded breaker has popped again while vacuuming, probably because of the outlet that wasn't switched. As I was fixing the things they omitted today (12/27), I discovered that they put the 14AWG circuit on a 20A breaker, when it was supposed to be on 15A, and put the 12AWG circuit for the attic fan on a 15A breaker, when it was supposed to be 20A. Since this is an unsafe condition (14AWG can't handle 20A), and it's in the main panel, it looks like I'll have to hire another electrician to fix their work. I recommend that if you use these guys, get everything specified in the most minute detail possible, in writing, with diagrams, make sure you're onsite for the entire project, and do a very careful walkthrough at the end - they are inexpensive, but there's a reason for that. read more

Just had Aaron come out and do some electrical work in our newly purchased 1960's home. The process of even choosing an electrician was difficult, as there are so many options, but we are sure glad we found Massella Electric. Aaron was efficient but thorough, and did not try to sell us on a bunch of work that did not need to be done. We will definitely be calling him again for any of our electrical needs moving forward. read more

Great, fast service. Final price was as quoted. Installed an additional wall outlet without the need to do any drywall patch work.

We have a room that had lost power, and they were able to come out within a day of pinging them on Yelp. Aaron was able to diagnose and fix the problem within the hour, and I thought their prices were fair. I will contact them again for future projects! read more

Excellent service! Massella Electric came in and fixed the screwed up work done by a previous electrician. They were on-time, cordial, and professional. In under an hour they had the electrical issue corrected, and my fan running the way it was supposed to be running. Afterward, they were very aware of the small mess that was made during the service and cleaned up after themselves before leaving. Looking forward to contacting/hiring this company again for any future electrical needs. read more

Nick arrived on time, was courteous and an excellent worker. He knew what he was doing. Got the job done quickly. When one of the lights was defective, he went to Home Depot returned the defective light and came back with a replacement. read more

I'm an interior designer and I have hired Aaron for several projects now. My clients just love him! Not only does he bring his A-Game professionally (he really knows his stuff, asks all the right questions, and nails the job!), but he is such a like-able, easy to work with guy. He makes things fun while still totally staying on top of his work. I've sent him into jobs without me, and I've also been there while he's working. His bids come in a timely manner at a fair price, and he even follows up to make sure my clients are happy once the projects are installed. He's really got it down. I also really like his attitude that he'll fit smaller jobs in between his big ones and I appreciate that he treats everyone with the same amount of respect, whether it's big or small. I couldn't recommend him highly enough! read more

Great service! Really great guys, did a thorough job, explained everything.

Aaron came to my home fixed by back porch light leading to my basement. I feel so much safer since. He also trouble shooted issues that I didn't even know I had with a few blown out light switches. He made it seamless, easy and really friendly. The price was awesome! Thank you so much Aaron. Definitely my new go-to electrician. read more

Massella Electric has been extremely reliable and great with electric needs on an older house. He put up some lights in our bathroom quickly and at a reasonable price. He was on time (which is big for us) and very knowledgeable. He even went out of his way to help out of business hours when we were in a bind. Highly recommended. Thank you for your services. read more
