When it comes to electrical issues in our house, it was important for us to know that the job is well done and that we could rest easy after the work was done. Our experience with George of Preferred Electric was great. He was honest, stands by his work, and took the time to explain/ show us everything he knew we needed to take care of. George's quote for the work wasn't the cheapest, but it was fair. And quality matters. We definitely are at ease knowing George took care of the re-wiring of the high risk circuit we had. read more

Hear me out. It's worth it. Had a panel issue. Wasn't clear what it was, but I wanted a real pro. So I sorted by highest rated electricians. The highest rated electrician on the East side of LA? I got curious because it read like they might be a consolidator, meaning they farm out work and take a commission, which makes their ratings pointless. Lo and behold I looked it up - and they're operating on a suspended contractor's license. Which is obviously very bad. So I pinged a handful of others closest to me. The fairest price for a visit/diagnosis was Preferred Electric. But wait, so few ratings, how can I trust them? Looked up their license. In good standing, current and active for 35 years? So why not, I rolled the dice. George was not only on time but early. Friendly. Nice. And most important, diagnosed the issue on the spot, had the parts in his truck, and charged a genuinely fair price. Summary: The highest-rated electrician on Yelp is a scammer. And seriously professional guys like George, who only got around to Yelp recently (and so have few reviews) look like amateurs. When the reverse is definitely true in this case. If you've read this far? Hire Preferred with confidence. George will do you right. read more

George ran a line for my Level 2 Charger, which I wanted to pass through my crawl space to avoid having conduit on the side of my house. The project ended up being more complicated than we initially thought, but he took the time to problem solve with me and explain everything that was going to happen. He was fast, well priced and most importantly seemed genuine and honest. Best experience I've had with an electrician. read more

George was knowledgeable and experienced. He was friendly and willing to explain. He repaired the defect well and the cost was reasonable. I saved his info in case I need an electrician in the future. Strongly recommended. read more

Very responsive in scheduling. Did quality work quickly and at a fair price. Would definitely recommend to others.

George installed a 220 plug for our EV charger in our detached garage. He was able to utilize our existing conduit without needing to trench, saving us a lot of money. I appreciated his expertise and recommendations. He noted that some previous work was not done well and fixed it. He was fast and responsive when we thought we had a problem afterward, but turned out there was no issue. He had the best quote for the project out of the 4-5 companies I spoke with for the project. I would recommend George and his company and will call him again whenever I have work that needs to be done. read more

George came and fixed our Pool lights. He was on time and charged me fairly.

I have used George of Preferred Electric for approximately 10 years. He has done everything imaginable to keep my older home safely wired. George is always on time, very professional and knows electric like the back of his hand. I've recommended him to my friends and they were also very pleased with him. He does quality work the first time so there's no repeat work needed, unlike other electricians I have used before meeting George. I can't say enough good things about him! read more

My wife and I recently had extensive electrical work done in our Sherman Oaks home. We chose Preferred Electric of La Crescenta for the job and were extremely pleased with the quality of the work and the attention to detail as well as the forthrightness and reliability of George and Victor.. They not only told us what needed to be done but showed us the evidence of physical disrepair and potentially dangerous conditions which needed attention. We were always in the picture and consulted before any work was done. Promises were kept and a high quality of work performed. I would high recommend the firm for all your electrical needs, large or small. Don Webster read more

I agree with other reviews that George is on time, likable and professional. He did a good job updating an electrical outlet and adding another and installing a new range hood. However, he charged an exorbitant amount of money for the job. I would say he charged me twice what the job was worth. So much in fact, that I'm too embarrassed to tell people what I paid. I would suggest that you get other quotes before using him. I was in a pickle and didn't have time to shop around. read more

We found Preferred Electric in the yellow pages when power went out to our home in the middle of a torrential rain storm. Our 1929 house was still powered by the original fuse box ... not good, and we are lucky we had no fires. George was extremely professional, likeable, and very thorough in identifying the first and most critical upgrades needed ... replacement of that old fuse box by several circuit breaker boxes. He made us a priority, and after several visits, our house is now safe and efficient electrically. I agree wholeheartedly with all the previous Yelp reviews for this company and would not hesitate to recommend them. read more

George is fantastic! Very professional. Always on time. Extremely reasonable. I cannot say enough good things about George who has serviced my house for many years. Changes all of our breakers. Emergency call he came right away. read more

I had Service Entrance Panel problems created a SunPower Authorized Dealer installing My Solar System. George to the Rescue. He Inspected the panel and corrected the mistakes made by the unprofessional installer. Electrical Panel equipment must be installed properly in order prevent fire hazards. George replaced breakers that were destroyed with only 36 Months of service. That is the results of improper installation. I got fast, qualified, reasonly priced service.
