Steven came over to do a job, having given me an estimate of $2,000. I gave him a check for the full amount because I ws going out of town. he cashed the check but never did any of the work. i cam back two weeks later to no hot water. He is reusing to repay me. This is outrageous, and i am considering taking him to small claims court. He is not returning my emails. read more

Very punctual and courteous all in all Steve is AWSOME, his knowledge & demeanor is very professional and patient. He takes the time to fully understand the issues and pain points. He is well traveled and is easy to speak to, just about any topic. When it come to ANY electrical issues he is total ninja. He fully understand his trade, he will not recommend any unnecessary work, does not try and oversell, just makes informed observations which as a new homeowner helps quite a bit so as to put projects in phases. Will definitely recommend Sos to all my friends as good business deserves more business! Gary Shergill read more

Sos installed a new panel for me and a car charger. It seemed all was done well, while fairly expensive. Recently my house went flickering. In the end LADWP showed me that SOS NEVER communicated with LADWP and left me with a stupidly simple tape wrap for my main power line connectors. Not only that but directly connected copper to the source aluminum something that EVERY electrician on the planet knows is a major failure. The guy from LADWP showed me a burnt connection with melted tape. I absolutely can not imagine a worse setup for failure that was clearly NOT a simple mistake but a known "screw the customer we are outta here" move. SOS Should lose their license. read more

Hands-down worst electric company to work with they lie to you on the quotes that they give you they buy cheap materials and they do a terrible job the power they install for me ended up blowing up and I had to redo everything from scratch they're not responsive it's a scam to you actually even work with them when I call them they blocked my number and they're not willing to make right for their mistakes. read more

Steve from SOS electric solved electrical problems in our house that 3 previous electricians didn't. He found the cause of problems and fixed them. Professional team, knowledgeable, great customer service, decent prices - we are happy we found him. read more

I called SOS about 2 weeks ago and Steven was exceptional. My office needed some desperately needed light for our loft and he was kind enough to suggest a couple of light fixture websites for us to purchase directly. So we purchased a few fixtures and led bulbs and when I called Rose, she quickly arranged an appointment the very next day! And talk about efficient! - Steven and his crew came in assessed the locations of each fixture and were done with all the installation in 2 days! His crew was very kind and kept things tidy around their working areas. We feel very comfortable with the work that SOS has done and we will be sure to call him back again for any other upgrades. read more

If you want someone who is a dead ringer for Mr. Magoo, hire him. He will be overpriced, extremely forgetful, hire guys that can damage your property, and not always tell you the truth about various repairs/upgrades. read more

Loved working with Steve and his guys as they are polite, fair, and offer practical solutions for rewiring our entire house. We look forward to working with them again on future projects as SOS is our definitive go-to now. read more

We can always count on SOS to take care of our electrical issues promptly, professionally and carefully! Thanks SOS! Emily W.

I couldn't give them zero stars so I'm stuck with giving them one. I've dealt with several contractors over the past few years. All but SOS have been thoroughly professional and did quality work. SOS is the WORST. Next week I'm having one of the jobs they did for me redone. I really don't understand all the positive reviews of this business. I mean, it's why I chose them too - but unfortunately, my experience with them was terrible. My friend is an interior designer who has worked with many, many contractors over the years and she agrees 100%, having had to deal with Steve herself. He is rude and condescending and a liar to boot. I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy. read more

Great work! I scheduled two different electricians to get a quote for my client's dining room light. Steven was the second electrician and he offered practical solutions for installing the fixture at a reasonable price. The first electrician had said it was not possible to do what I wanted. Steven not only accomplished my goals, but was a pleasure to work with. The job was handled quickly, efficiently and scheduling was also very easy! He even recommended using a dimmer, which he installed that same day, I will absolutely use SOS for all my future electrical work. read more

Steve rocked!!!! He came by 10A, after I called him at 8 (on a MONDAY) and fixed my problem in FIVE minutes. I will continue to use and refer him to everyone. Thank you so much-you made my week start off wonderfully. read more

After reading reviews on both yelp and angle's list, we decided to contact SOS Electric. Steven and his assistance Rose were nothing but wonderful. Our tenants called us reporting a power outage in their master bath persisting for several days despite reseting all the main breakers. I called SOS Electric and spoke to Rose who was pleasant, helpful, and told us Steve (the owner) could come out the following day. Perfect. The next day Steve called me personally, notifying of his whereabouts and an exact time he would meet at the property. He showed up ahead of schedule and was extremely knowledgeable and professional. In general, I hate dealing with service providers because you never know if they'll show up on time and whether or not they will up sell you on unnecessary service/labor. Steven was absolutely lovely to deal with and did not even charge us for his time. We will definitely be using his services going forward and would highly recommend SOS Electric to anyone looking for professional excellence. read more

These guys are GREAT. I called on a day they were closed and spoke with a lovely woman. They came out the day after I called. My tenants didn't hear the doorbell, and the technician actually waited until they answered 5-10 minutes later rather than run out to another call. The problem wasn't with my wiring but with the actual light fixture. Since I had already paid for the time, they went and fixed another issue I was having with my exterior light. I would recommend them HIGHLY! read more
