I requested a quote through yelp and I received it right away from Christina. I was glad it was hourly, it also included transportation time which was fine. I was told Lonnie would be coming to our house and he showed up on time. He was so courteous, respectful and friendly. We just needed a new light installed in the entryway and two smoke detectors replaced. The smoke detectors were extremely high up so we could not do it ourselves. I also talked to him about replacing all the can lights and showed him what I was interested in. Later in the day he text me a picture of them at Home Depot. This will be our next project with Thoma. I also talked to him about when I worked at local company that we use them and he remembers the company this was back in 98. I highly recommend anybody who needs any type of electrical work done. I received the bill in the mail and it was right on target the costs. read more

A hairdryer that I had been using for nearly 2 years suddenly tripped a GFCI outlet, and generated a strong burnt plastic smell. I called Thoma Electric the next day and Jason Garcia came out the same day. It turned out the GFCI unit was badly burnt (see photo); I was one step away from an electrical fire that could have destroyed my home. Jason quickly replaced the burnt unit, then explained that my 2,000 watts hairdryer (commonly sold these days) generates a 16+ amp current that overloaded my 15 amp circuit. I appreciate his efficient work and also his taking the time to explain the problem. The $200 bill was gladly paid. Thank you, Mr. Jason Garcia! read more

I had the recent opportunity of having Thoma Electric come out and do some work at my house. I had two projects and an issue to deal with. The Electrician's name that came out was Clark. Very knowledgeable and detailed. He had to troubleshoot an issue with a light circuit. We got that finished and he worked up a quote for a new garage circuit and outdoor lighting switch solution for my patio. He came back completed both jobs to satisfaction. I am very happy with the service and response from Thoma in jumping on this the first time I reached out to them. Thank you to Clark and Thoma Electric for helping me out. Cheers! read more

Thoma installed 4 ceiling fans on our property. I needed fan boxes installed and fans and assembled. I called and they sent someone out within 2 days. The service was handled by Lonnie, who is without a doubt the nicest guy you will ever meet. He was very punctual and accommodating for all the requirements to complete the job. If there was an issue he was very upfront and offered good solutions. I can't say enough good things about him and his work. I would call Thoma again in a second for any other electrical work. read more

The tech Dustin came out to our property to give us a consultation, and he was very knowledgeable and professional. We decided not to move forward with the project, but we definitely would have used Thoma. read more

Outstanding service! I had a problem with my electrical box at home, called these guys and the next morning they are at my door fixing my problem. I highly recommend them based on my experience and high touch service. Thanks- read more

The economy must be getting a lot better. After calling three local independent electricians in my area with either no returned call or a very very delayed returned call, I decided to call Thoma Electric. I needed some home electrical fixes done, which included replacing switches and light fixtures. I was very pleased to have my call answered right away by a very friendly gal who took down my information and confirmed a time for me a few days later. Loren arrived within 10 minutes of the start time of our appointment. He did great job and was tidy. I'm sure you can find someone cheaper - but my time has value and Loren and Thoma electric did a solid job, on time, and professionally. I would use them again for my home repairs and upgrades. read more

We had a huge list of upgrades to our home done by Lauren and John. This involved upgrading lights to LED, replacing smoke detectors, upgrading thermostats, installing plug, installing a bathroom heater, and fixing all the bad things the builder did when they built our house in 1996. The guys did a great job and left the work area clean. We had a couple of set backs in the project where we wanted a light in a specific location but they could not put it there because of the way the house was built. This had nothing to do with the work they did it was just one of those things that happens in a Honey-Do list of 24 items.I was especially impressed with the communications from the guys on the overall job. I would recommend Thoma Electric to my friends. read more

David was incredibly knowledgable, efficient, and swift in diagnosing and solving my electrical problem (hidden breaker). Would definitely recommend. read more

We have built a house, done lots of remodels and recently had need of an electrician for something no one could figure out. We were very impressed by the professionalism, thoroughness, patience to find the problem and explain to us what was needed. Loren was great! read more

Excellent work and less expensive than their competitors. Their staff is professional, knowledgeable and pleasant. They also coordinated the necessary permit paperwork with the City. We will call them again! read more

Fast. Easy. Perfect job installing an outlet. Very professional! I called in and John came out the next day with a bid. Even during holidays I was quickly scheduled and electrician was careful to wipe his feet every time he came in. This is the second time they've helped us out --- last time it was a tricky fan installation. Pleased? Indeed. Thanks so much! read more

Had an exterior pump outlet issue and, while alternative companies were swamped with work until the next week, Thoma has a service technician out the same day. David was very knowledgeable and friendly, and clearly outlined the fix and what it entailed. He was patient with a variety of service questions and was willing to work with additional requests. Next call for an electrical issue requiring a professional will be to Thoma Electric. read more

I've worked with many electricians and this company is prompt, efficient, committed to doing the job right at a fair price. They are very responsive and will return your call/inquiry immediately. They are available anytime and were very helpful with a home inspection. The electrician was able to diagnose the problem immediately and offer several reasonable solutions. I plan on hiring them to make these repairs after hearing from others their great work. I also really appreciated John's initiative as he found a few additional issues during the inspection that the inspector didn't catch! And one of them he corrected because he cared about doing his job right. So happy to have found a good electrician in the area! read more

Thoma is an outstanding company to work with, by any measure. Ed and his crew have consistently gone above and beyond for our company to make sure that we are maximizing our efficiency. These guys are real pros! read more

Our spray booth went down which put us at a dead stop for production which leads to all kinds of problems needless to say. Called Thoma electric as we always do for out electrical needs and they sent Loren over within the hour and he determined problem, told us what was needed, I ordered it and once I recv'd the parts, he came back within a hour of notice and got us back making money. To all at Thoma, You Guys Are Awesome! read more

For the past two and a half years Thoma Electric has competed both day to day maintenance and complex in-depth remodel/upgrade electrical projects for our office building complex. Professional service, quality work, timely/responsive, all at a fair price are hallmarks of Thoma Electric. Jennifer McIntyre Facilities, Sunrun read more

Gill from Thoma Electric came to our home today and helped us out big time! He was so friendly, kind, and helpful. We just moved in and had several outlets that weren't working. He got to the bottom of all problems and fixed everything, and was a pleasure to have in our midst all the while! If everyone was as friendly and helpful as him, this world would surely be a better place. He truly went above and beyond and was also completely professional! I signed up for yelp to write this review, and I hope lots of people see it. Thanks Gill and Thoma! Couldn't be happier. read more

The team at Thoma supported a multi-stage whole home renovation in the Los Osos area over the past year. From creating new power sources, rewiring existing lines, and installing new light fixtures the expertise of the crew was outstanding. Attention to detail was extraordinary and suggestions were made along the way to meet client needs. Thank you to the Thoma team, John in particular, for the attention and professional level of service. Nicole Fronek, www.topflrdesign.com read more

What a great company! I needed to install Nema 14-50 for my new Tesla, a few other companies, gave me an estimate over $2000 and made it seems like so complicated due to location of the panel... Thoma Electric made it really simple and stress less, an electrician came to my house at 8:00 am finished the job in couple hours! It was just amazing to watch him working, climbing through the attic bringing thick wire to the garage. So professional, talented and on top of that I asked to fix my indoor outlets and he gladly did and no extra charge! The original estimate was $1300 but today I got the bill from Thoma Electric and it's only $600!!! Such a honest and wonderful people! Two thumbs up Thoma Electric!!! I also spoke to Tesla representative and they are definitely going to refer Thoma Electric to other Tesla customers in our community. My #1 electrical company! Thank you so much Thoma Electric!!!! Will be back read more

--the absolute best service organization i have encountered anywhere. they have a one word answer to everything-- YES! --quality is tops and if not they will find something that is --Loren is a killer. not one flaw --Christina schedules, and again knows only one word--YES! 5 plus stars read more

From inquiry to completion, the team at Thoma Electric is outstanding. Thoma has a bad misconception in the community by those that think of them only doing large commercial projects when in reality they truly excel in the smaller jobs. We had originally worked with Thoma to put in some electrical outlets and wire two outside lights a few years ago. Having had a great experience we called again when a couple of plugs in our kitchen weren't working and I got a spark when removing an electrical cord. Making a convenient appointment was seamless and the electrician dispatched couldn't have been more helpful or competent. He explained why the outlets weren't working, identified another issue that he promptly fixed and then recommended that we purchase a new toaster oven, explaining that while we couldn't see the problem, it had a defective electrical cord that could potentially lead to problems down the road. The good news is -- I never liked that toaster oven and I'm happy to purchase another! Whether for new commercial developments, or fixing an electrical outlet in your kitchen, Thoma Electric gets my vote for being the best. read more

Thoma Electric did a great job on a commercial project for me many years ago, so when I needed electrical work done on my home they were the first - and only - company I called. John, who handles the service department, came out to give me an estimate. He was prompt, and professional. The estimate was more than fair. He assigned Dave and Kevin to do the actual wiring. Both were prompt, courteous, professional, and took great care to clean up as the work progressed (I have 2 small dogs who will try to eat anything). They installed all new plugs and switches, 3 new 15 amp circuits, and replaced all ceiling and wall fixtures and ceiling fans. They more than lived up to my expectations; I will continue recommending them to anyone needing electrical work. And Ed, you did a great job "putting the lights in for me." (I love your commercials!) read more

I'm impressed! The fact that just part of the lights in our home were not working was mystery enough...then, as I turned off the water on the porch, I leaned against an electrical box (no, not standing in water nor wet hands...) and received a big shock that scared the heck out of me. We also had a couple of other mysteries. Your guys were awesome. Extremely polite and organized and the last technician, Loren, explained things so well that even an old gardener like me actually thought I was understanding it all. In the end...all mysteries solved! The rather unsafe situation on the porch fixed and safe...my questions all answered and Thoma Electric will be the first call I make for anything in the future. I'm pretty nitpicky, so for me to feel this kind of peace is a good thing. By the way, they crawled around in dark, creepy, hot spaces you couldn't pay me to go into. Many thanks! read more
