    Joel assessing what to do next.
    Valerie T.

    The owner "Reuben" answers the phone for appointments making this personal. I had many questions to the point of annoyance and Reuben kept his cool. (Seems like a cool dude) An upgrade to my electrical panel by another electrician became a problem. After not passing permit and 2 months no fixes I switched to O.C. electric who took care of every detail. Joel and another Reuben worked so hard with perfection. Really did a clean thorough job. I highly recommend "O.C. ELECTRIC".

    5-Star Review I recently hired OC Electric to install a high-end chandelier, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The installation was done professionally, safely, and with great attention to detail. They handled the chandelier with care and made sure everything was perfectly aligned and secure. Their pricing was also very reasonable, especially for the quality of work and level of expertise they provided. It's rare to find a company that delivers both excellent service and fair pricing. I highly recommend OC Electric to anyone looking to install a chandelier or any electrical work. Truly a top-notch electrical company!

    I wanted to give my honest review for OC Electric. Please know that this review is not a fake or paid review. Let me say first of all that these guys are the real deal. Before deciding to use OC Electric to replace our electric panel, I had no less then 6 quotes from electricians, including some with really good Yelp reviews. 5 out of the 6 businesses that I reached out to each had some serious issues that made me realize what a difference there are in the way companies like this do business. I kept detailed notes on each company and OC Electric was the only one who didn't have any negative issues as far as I was concerned. First, it's important to understand that for the most part, upgrading an electric panel is for the most part, going to be the same process for all of these electricians, so, to begin with all of them will give you a basic quote with just texting the company basic info and some pictures of the existing panel. This is not like the "old days" where a business will come out, look at the job and give you a price. After texting Ruben some pictures of my existing panel, we set up a time for him to come and give me a formal quote. The price was in line with what most of the other businesses and we decided to move forward with OC Electric. He handled all of the permits necessary in a very timely manner so that there would be no delays in starting the work. He texted me the day and time that they would arrive to start the job. For a big job like this, there are always concerns that during the process, unknown issues would be uncovered which lead to unexpected problems and costs. We've all heard the horror stories (and seen on those home improvement shows) right? Thank God there was nothing like that during this process for us. Keep in mind that we were replacing the original electric panel from when the house was built sometime back in 1963. A LOT of things have changed with electricity in the last 63 years. Mainly the size of these panels. I had no idea that today's panels are about 5 times bigger than my old one. On the first day, two OC Electric technicians showed up right on time and got right to work. They began at around 8 AM and finished around 6 PM on the first day. By the time they left that first day, all of our electricity was working perfectly and each breaker switch for the new 200 Amp electric panel was clearly labeled. The technicians who worked at my house that day were courteous, and professional and they cleaned up any mess made from the work. These guys went above and beyond. In fact, on day 1 when they stopped to take their lunch break, one of the guys even offered to bring me back some lunch! Wow, how many hired workers do that? None that I know of. I also had a small separate wiring job that I had started myself (but never completed) and asked if they could take care of, and guess what? They did it for me in about 10 minutes. I was so grateful to them. For this process there are a few steps involved, each one requiring an inspection and an approval from the city. First, the initial installation of the new panel, then inspection. Next was repairing the stucco. New chicken wire around the panel must be attached, then inspection. Next, stucco and paint, then final inspection. By the way, for our job I had told OC Electric that we didn't require painting because we are planning on getting the house painted anyway, but they insisted and the stucco guy did a pretty good job at matching the stucco texture. The paint color he used was slightly different, but for me, it didn't matter because of the future paint job. The entire process took about a week due to the inspections that needed to be scheduled, which can be a hassle because you're at the mercy of the city inspector. Scheduling all of the inspections was handled by Ruben and he was always good at keeping me updated as to when each inspection would take place. Except for the initial inspection, someone from OC Electric was here to meet the inspector each time. Aside from a couple minor aesthetic details, (which can't be avoided because of all of the new electric codes involved) I was very satisfied with the work that OC Electric performed and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for an electrician. If I have any more electrical work in the future, I won't hesitate to give them a call.

    Had Ruben out today from OC Electric to install this fan light in my kitchen and a Ring doorbell. Very professional, super quick. And they laid out plastic to cover everything for quick and easy clean up. Very reasonable pricing. Appointment was set for sometime between noon and 2pm today. They arrived just before noon and were done within 30 minutes. Well worth the price! Highly recommend.

    Very satisfied, quick to provide a quote / proposal, reasonable price, quality job. Very happy with the result. Left everything neat and clean. would recommend for chandelier (or any type) of light installation.

    Ruben at OC Electric did an outstanding job with a doorbell camera install! I am completely terrified of anything to do with electricity, but Ruben made this install seem easy and straightforward. Initial communication was easy and painless, which is always appreciated, and had prompt responses. Needless to say, his quote was reasonable and very competitive against other vendors but the quality and precision of the install was great! Highly recommended!

    This is what EV charging should look like…read more As a Tesla owner, I've charged at a lot of stations over the years, and Rove is by far one of the nicest charging facilities I've been to. The first thing that stood out was the size of the station. There are 40 DC fast chargers, including 27 Tesla chargers, so finding an available charger wasn't an issue. The entire facility feels modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed with large solar canopies providing shade over the charging stalls. What really separates Rove from a typical charging stop is everything else they offer. There's a ReCharge by Gelson's market with snacks, drinks, and fresh food, a comfortable lounge with free Wi-Fi, clean restrooms, a car wash, complimentary vacuums, and even a water bottle filling station. It feels more like a premium travel stop than a charging station. I especially appreciated the little details. The property was spotless, there was security on site, and the complimentary vacuums were a nice touch. The facility feels safe, well-maintained, and welcoming whether you're stopping for 15 minutes or a longer charge. The location is also convenient right off the 5 Freeway, making it an easy stop while traveling through Orange County. As EV adoption continues to grow, this is exactly the type of charging experience I'd like to see more of. Plenty of chargers, great amenities, clean facilities, and a comfortable place to spend your charging time. If you're an EV owner and haven't checked out Rove yet, it's worth the stop.

    I have stopped here a few time now while traveling from San Diego to L.A. and it's super…read moreconvenient. With about 40 fast chargers there's plenty of charging for all types of EVs. 28 Tesla chargers, 12 CCS with NACS connection plus 2 CHAdeMo connections allow cars from Tesla to nearly all makes of EVs to charge quickly. There is free WiFi, restrooms, quick grab and go bites and even a drive thru car wash with vacuums. Just off the 17th Street exit of the I-5 freeway, this location is easy on and off on your commute.

    I needed a kitchen light switch fixed and contacted Eric based on previous YELP reviews. When I…read morecalled mid day he informed me that he only did the automobile plugin stuff but asked where I lived and if the light switch was the only thing I needed fixed. When I said Lake Forest and yes to the only thing needing a fix, he said he would come by in about an hour. When he came he immediately went to work on the switch and in less than a minute the lights were back on, but the lights were flashing on and off. This was a problem before the lights stopped coming on altogether. He switched some of the light bulbs with other working lights in the hallway and they worked in the kitchen and began flashing in the hallway. To that, Eric determined that the flashing lightbulbs were "crap", recommended getting some new light bulbs to replace those that flashed. It wasn't the switch that was faulty but the lights themselves. Eric said that he would not charge me anything for his work that day which was so generous and appreciated by me. You don't find people like that anymore. As it turns out he has family living in my neighborhood. He also gave me some advice on another outdoor light that we are repairing. Can't say enough good things about Eric.

His initial assessment was that no panel upgrade would be necessary, but he would need to inspect the panel to be sure. We scheduled a day for him to come by to check the panel and the placement of the charger. With some slight changes to the panel, he could make room for the required breaker. Originally, I thought the charger would need to be installed on the outside of the house, but Eric assessed inside the garage and identified the perfect location for the charger. His estimate was lower than I expected based on my research. We agreed on the price. He came by at the end of his day, so he was willing to do the electrical work while he was there. Eric has chargers with him to sell, but I was looking for a charger with an app, which he did not have. I asked Eric if there was a charger he recommended, and fortunately, it was the same one I had decided on. I ordered the charger, and it arrived a couple of days later. As Eric promised, he stopped by the following day and installed the charger. I'm very happy with the install. Eric is very knowledgeable, prompt, professional, and reasonably priced. I highly recommend Eric.
