    I called modern electrical services and in Encino on a very short notice, and to my surprise the electrician showed up with in 45 minutes. Zack was super professional and knew exactly what the problem was. I highly recommend modern electrical.

    Marat was courteous, professional and knowledgeable. Three days ago he fixed an electrician issue in my garage and today he set up our car charger. Service was great, price was reasonable. I highly recommend this company.

    estimate, including permitting, received July 1

    This work (EV charger install, with permit) was arranged through QMerit. * Modern bid on the job on July 1, and I approved the bid (through QMerit) on July 2, but the work wasn't performed until September 1 (2 months later, and only I because I pushed them).  I understand that contractors are especially busy right now, but if it is going to take you this long to get around to a job, please be clear about that up front or don't bid on it. * After the install I periodically followed up with Modern about the inspection (asking when it would be scheduled), and eventually they made it clear that they were busy and it wasn't a priority. My eligibility for a $600 utility rebate for the purchase of the charger was about to expire (there is a 6-month time limit on the rebate, which requires proof of permitted installation), so I logged in to the city website to see if I could schedule the inspection myself. I found that there wasn't even an active permit. * It did not appear that Modern was going to follow through with completing the permitting per our contract, so I contacted the CSLB. The involvement of the CSLB forced Modern to get the permit, and the inspection occurred on December 15 (5.5 months after getting on contract with Modern). There were just two minor corrections required by the inspector, which Modern took care of on the spot, and the city finalized the permit later that day.

I had an initial quote from a company charging about 1000 under Alex's price and in the interest of saving money I went with them. In the end the quote was not accurate and the contractor wanted 2000 more, this quote did not even include AFCI breakers at that price which Alex let me know were required for my job. Going with the cheapest quote was inaccurate, not up to code, and now costing me more. Alex spent his valuable Sunday evening to go over how I can resolve this billing dispute with the other contractor. I am sad I did not go with him, he was the most accurate quote, knowledgeable and said the extra work I was charged for was likely unnecessary. I really appreciate Alex taking the time and I am mad I did not go with him to complete my work.

    I'm so happy I found Ready Electric. I've managed our company's building and facilities for almost…read more20 years, and finding a reliable, honest electrician has always been difficult. JR was professional from the beginning. He arrived on time for the assessment, explained everything clearly, and provided a quote right away. When I had an issue with our original scheduled date, they were very flexible and worked with me to reschedule the job for an earlier day. They arrived on time, completed quality work, cleaned up after themselves, and were very easy to work with. Their pricing was also very competitive. Ready Electric is a great family business, and I truly appreciate their professionalism, flexibility, and help. I will definitely use them again and refer them to others.

    I had an emergency situation that ultimately called for a full panel upgrade. We scheduled a visit…read moreto check out the problem the next day, which was not an emergency inspection or anything. He came to check out the problem and give me a quote. Overall, he was thorough in explaining stuff. What rubbed me the wrong way was how after I asked him for a quote and told him I have one other person checking it out to give me a quote, his tone changed. I explained that this is an expensive project and it would be dumb to just get your price and go with it without checking with at least one other company. I'm not made out of money here. He then gave me the quote and it was literally like twice the range of most panel upgrades. I get that you're licensed, but so are most of these companies. I feel like because of my situation (Edison had cut the power to my place), he was just taking advantage. Admittedly, I was desperate to get it fixed, but I'm not going to pay almost 12k for something that costs around 5k. So he gives me the quote breakdown and four options (all way over average prices), and then I say thanks and that again, someone is also going to stop by and take a look and I'll text him either way. He then gave me a guilt trip about how they reserved the day for me and how it sucks that I'm not just taking the job. At that point, even if the second guy wasn't going to work out, I was not going with this company. Fortunately, the second guy (also licensed) that came was able to pull some strings and get everything done --meter checked, permitted--the next day for a fraction of what Ready Electric quoted me. Power is back on and I didn't spend more than I needed to. For those of you needing electric work: shop around. Oftentimes we need this kind of work done ASAP, but companies will definitely take advantage as was this case. 3 stars because they responded quick and did explain things thoroughly. Clarification based on Ready Electric's reply: The quote was $11,600 for a standard panel upgrade. Yes, my panel was in bad shape, but I was not misrepresenting the situation. If anything, to suggest that your most affordable option was $1k when it was really (according to you) not really an option at all (with zero warranty even) and to leave out your main recommendation (the panel upgrade) is misrepresentative. I credit you for going out of your way and explaining stuff, and I would imagine that as a business, that part of the getting business is time-consuming. Apparently there was an inspection fee that was waived, and the gentlemen that came even asked, "how did you get the inspection fee waived?" Well, no fee was ever mentioned upon calling and making an appointment, and had there been, I would have never made the appointment in the first place. You mentioned that you understand people would get a second opinion and that's good; however, the whole reason I wrote my review (which I rarely do) was because of the guilt trip I was given for doing so. It was unnecessary and a poor persuasion technique. If I were to have said I have another guy coming to get a second opinion and you were like, "absolutely, just let us know if you decide to move forward with us," I would have never wrote my review, or I would've written one that praised the thoroughness of your quoting process. Also, the guy I went with was a referral from my brother's current contractor, but he has never worked with any of us directly. So we didn't have an existing relationship or anything. In fact, when I told him what i was quoted, he laughed and said that's just people trying to take advantage. Again, the point of my review was ultimately to warn people to shop around and not go with the first quote you get, especially if you're in a pinch like I was. Another day without electricity is worth not getting ripped off.

    This review is long overdue…read more My husband and I bought our house in 2022 and the first things we wanted to do was install our car charger and have someone look at our old electric to figure out if we needed to prioritize upgrades. Primo was the third company we reached out to for estimates and we chose them off of good vibes and competitive prices. I'm grateful for it. These guys are solid, honest people and won't recommend things you don't need. In fact, if you have a wild idea for something that is unnecessary or costly, they'll tell you up front so you know in advance. In addition to doing things the right way, they're respectful. I've chatted with a few companies about various house projects and David and Jesse treated me (a woman) like my input matters just as much as my husband's. It signals competence, excellence, and professionalism when, even though I say "my husband is the boss," a contractor checks with me just in case. And, it prevents arguments down the road. We've rehired Primo for light fixture swaps, outlet adds, new switch fixtures, and we plan to hire them for our upcoming upgrades because they're all around good people who do good work. Primo is a business that you root for, and are proud to support as a customer. We'll continue to work with Primo on our electric needs for all of these reasons and more. Thanks, guys!
