Can't say enough good things about Christopher and his crew. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Communication is excellent. Christopher is very friendly and approachable. He's local to La Mirada, so it was very easy for him to come by and give me a detailed estimate. He upgraded our panel to 200 amps, and re-wired our kitchen for increased safety. He took care of the city permits. Construction was smooth. They worked very hard. Christopher goes above and beyond. While he was repairing the wall where the old panel used to be, I asked him for an estimate to repair some small damaged stucco on the other side of the house. I had been meaning to get it done, and decided to ask while he was at it. He did it for free. That shows how much he cares for his customers. After the panel was completed, then I got my hot tub delivered. Then, it was easy to schedule Christopher to come back to install it. read more

Chris, was prompt and gave me a price based on my video explanation of what we needed. He showed up at the time he set for us. We had VEC add a double outlet above our fireplace for a wall mount TV. Chris was fast and the work was clean. I highly recommend VEC for any electrical work needed. We will be using them for any future electrical work needed. Steve read more

Viramontes Electric Company - Electricians Near Me - Whittier, California

Back in 2025, I had Viramontes Electric Company install a new panel, several outlets, and recess lights for my house. They did a fantastic job! The crew was very fast and professional! I highly recommend them for all your electrical needs. Thanks Christopher for this installation and for the recent house visit to "fix" a problem that wasn't a problem. Sorry about that! Still... I appreciate the great customer service from you for coming out so quickly. read more

This guys were great. Communication was consistent and flawless. Take pride in their work and the quality shows. Easy to work with. Thanks again! read more

Well, I've been looking for a great electrician for several years now. I got several suggestions from my neighbors. Viramontes was one of the suggestions. I also found a five star rated company with over 200 reviews. After contacting all of them from my research, I decided upon Chris and Jacob Viramontes. They came a few days later with their helper and tackled my job with such professionalism. They were quick, clean, and respectful. They left the house as clean as it was when they started. They gave me a couple GFCI outlets, eight 3 prong grounded outlets, gave me a new circuit and grounded my whole box. If I can ever get the money for a full rewire-- you can bet they'll get the call. I commented to Chris on how good his patchwork is. My game is pretty tight on paint and patching. Viramontes is just a little better. I feel like I found an electrician for life. Their price is competitive and even lower than the five star rated company I mentioned above. I made my decision because I just like these guys. Give them a call, they won't let you down. read more

The owner returned my phone call & offered a same day appointment plus solved my issue. I highly recommend their business!!!! Professional and knowledge above compare. read more

We are apartment owners and we're looking for a good licensed electrical contractor. Viramontes filled the bill. They just finished a full replacement of electrical panels and it was done on time and very neat and clean. When they said they would take care of something, you can take that to the bank! Great company. read more

Chris and Jake did an amazing job installing my recessed lighting in my living room. Their prices are great and they are very professional. They covered all my furniture before installation and then left the area cleaner than when they came. When some drywall needed to be fixed they didn't even hesitate to fix it. I would strongly recommend them to anyone that needs electrical work! read more

Viramontes Electric Company - Electricians Near Me - Whittier, California

Nothing but good things to say about Viramontes Electrical! They upgraded a pre-historic panel for us a few months ago and did a fantastic job. Everything was exactly as discussed and they stayed within the time frame promised. Not only were the they most competitively priced but also the most responsive and inspection was a breeze. All of the employees are courteous and I love that its a family owned Whittier business. They will always be my fist call! read more

I called Raul Viramontes to diagnose a flickering light issue in my home. He informed me that his fee is $150. We made an appt and he showed up on time. I explained what's happening and what lights were being affected. I showed him my panels and he and his co worker got started. 30 min later. He tells me that he recommends I upgrade my entire electrical panel. He didn't check anything in my house. He did not give me any other options besides upgrading my panel. I immediately new this guy was not being honest. An honest professional would have made an effort to trouble shoot more and present options. He then presented me his quote for upgrading the panel. Crazy expensive! I asked him, would the $150 be applied towards the quote. He said no. At that moment I was just done with this guy. No way was he gonna get my business. I reluctantly gave him his $150, I just wanted him out of my house. I immediately called 3 local electricians and their panel upgrade quote was 40% lower than Raul. I got my issue fixed by a very honest hard working electrician who took his time trouble shooting and didn't take advantage of me . At the end I didn't need an upgraded panel. This is a 100% honest review of my experience with Raul. I hope others think twice before hiring this guy and don't get ripped off. I do not recommend him! read more

These guys are great! I had them upgrade my electrical panel and install outlets and lights in my kitchen. They are honest, do quality work and are clean. I would hire them again in a heartbeat. read more

Raul gave us a fair price (we received 3 quotes). He was efficient & reliable. He got the job done for us and was present for the inspection. We are extremely satisfied!!! read more

We called Raul for an estimate after reading his exceptional reviews on Yelp (after we had already paid for an estimate from Powell Electric). Raul came out the same day of our call and gave a very competitive estimate (lower than Powell). Raul recommended some additional work for one of our kitchen outlets that was running high usage appliances. We really appreciated Raul's concern and advice because we did not know that we had a safety problem. They completed our job in one day, even with additional work. This is a family owned business and, now that we have experienced their work, we will never use another electrician. We have already referred others to Viramontes. read more

Responded in good time to my call, diagnosed problem & fixed it in one visit!! No - charge to come & give estimate & then come back days later. Pricing excellent compared to other quotes. Raul knows what he is doing & does it without trying to rip you off. Very happy I found these electricians & will use them again. read more

Called Viramontes Electrical to my home for an estimate for an up grade on my penal box, wanted to up grade from 70amps to 200amps. I was very impressed with Raul, I knew I wanted his company to do my up grade. Set the appointment for 2 days later at 7:00 a.m. Right on time, punctuality is very important, very impressed by that. Both he and his son Chris are super nice and professional, explained what they would be doing and if I had questions always answered in a very polite manner. I'm very pleased with the work they did, very neat, never left a mess. Out of 5 stars, if I could I would give them a lot more then that. A very grateful customer. Thank you so much Raul and Chris.

I had three quotes on a new electrical panel because more is better than one and decided to go with Viramontes Electrical. Raul was quick to reply and meet up at my home for an estimate and was on time. I chose Raul over the other two quotes because he knew the building code for my area without having to reference it. He determined very quickly exactly what the work required as far as access and running cables, pipe and stucco repairs and gave me a fair price. Also, I had already called Edison to spot a location for my new panel. Edison wanted me to move my panel to another position on my house instead of using it's existing location. Raul called the Edison representative and explained the code requirements and was able to convince Edison that there was no need to move my panel. Had we moved the panel it would cost a lot more money to do so. On install day Raul was on time and got to work quickly with his son. My power was back on within six hours and there was no need to have a generator on standby. My panel passed inspection on the first go round and received the final permit sign off after the stucco was repaired. My husband and I are very pleased with Raul's work and no doubt will call again for other projects. Lots of thanks!! read more
