I unfortunately did not get a chance to hire PCEH because I had an emergency but they had the best quote for starters $89 initial fee that goes toward job and personnel answering phone have the best way of assuring that you will be taken care of. I won't hesitate to contact them again.

We have had them come twice in the last few months to repair or install new appliances and both times they were thorough and helpful. Also fast to schedule and arrive. Josh, Zeke and Chad were all great.

Josh and Ray came out to access the electrical issues. They provided me with photos of the issues and were able to complete a portion of the fixes the same day. The following day Ray returned to complete the work. They were very professional, and answered any questions that I had during the process. I am very happy with the work they did.

Eric is a life-saver! When my wife and I goofed our DIY install of our new clothes dryer, we accidentally shorted the 240V connection. That sure made a spark! We tried to reset the breaker box to no avail, and thought we may have blown either the box itself or even the wiring in the walls.

Eric arrived right on schedule, and it took him all of 5 minutes to fix the issue. Calling up PCE saved us a ton of money and worry -- we feared we had done potentially thousands of dollars in electrical damage to the apartment we had just moved into. Definitely recommend calling in the pros for this kind of work!

They had a great attitude, identified the problem quickly, and fixed the issue for a reasonable price. They also quickly responded and set up a fast appointment. I will definitely use them again.

I've had a great experience with Pacific Coast Electric. They are professional and went the extra mile for us especially Craig Van Buskirk and Jorge Perez!

Thanks guys!

I requested quotes on yelp. I received an immediate response from the office to book. They could fit me in the same afternoon. I received a text with name and picture of my technician who was friendly and on time. Richard fixed my plug and made sure the other plugs worked as well. Great service.

Chad H. was awesome! He got the job done professionally and was polite and considerate! I am very pleased and highly recommend Chad and this company!

[update] After two phone calls this morning, I got a 4:30 appointment today. Chris is the really star!! Saved the day. I would definitely gave Chris 5 stars, but considering my time and stress in the whole process, I would give 3 overall.
Chris identified the issue pretty fast, fixed it right away. Very knowledgeable and was able to explain things to me nicely. His assessment of the electrical panel's condition sounds a lot more reliable to me.
I really hope I don't need to call an electrician again in near future. Still not sure if I would work with them again. I know every newbie needs to start somewhere. But thinking this job should be an easy installation, so sent out someone who turned out to be incapable of doing it, and ended up taking all other people's time and effort to fix it, is not the right way to go. At least not for me.

[first part of the story]
The whole experience starts with 5 stars and then everything went down hill. Can't believe this is the first serious Yelp review I write, so upset by this whole experience.

To start with, my wall switch for water heater was burnt during memorial day weekend. So I googled and yelped, and called them. Eric came really fast. He didn't have that type of switch with him, so he did a temporary fix to keep my water heater working. And said he would get the switch after the weekend, then schedule a visit with me to install it. There are two items in the estimation: 1. install the switch for water heater, 2. replace the breakers controlling water heater with refurbished parts since the panel is a very old model.
Up to that point, it's still 5 star impression, maybe a little surprised by the price, but thought the service would be reliable.

But then, I never heard back from them, not sure if they are waiting for the parts or what. So after a while, I called them, the lady on the call said she'll let Eric call me back soon. No call back. One week later, called again, another lady picked up, saying she'll notice the manager or somebody. Next Monday, yesterday actually, finally got a call back, get scheduled for switch installation for today. Eric was busy, so it's another guy, which they said he'll know how to do it. But, everything was not working well today!! Michael arrived after 10am, later than the scheduled time. Did the installation, tripped the breaker for my whole unit (I'm in a condo) in the process, and finally said it's all done. Then I let out some hot water to test, the water heater is not powered on! Then he started testing the power from wires (indeed not enough power!) and calling Eric or other leads, tried to rearrange my breakers in the electrical panel, didn't work. Finally, said his lead will come in the afternoon.
So the sr guy came, tested the new switch installed, turned out that new switch was already burnt after installation. Then he went to the store, get another switch, installed, reconnected everything. It's over 6pm, I was pretty annoyed at that point. So when he said it's done, I trusted him and forgot to do the water testing myself (which turned out to be a huge mistake!!), paid, and let them go.
This work took a whole day!! And I wasted a work day at home!! When I remembered to test the hot water afterwards, the water heater does not work!!!
Just called them again, the lady said she'll let the electricians check with me. It's being ~1hr now, no call back yet... Wonder if I would ever got the call back any time soon since they've got my money.
During the process, the sr. guy kept telling me my electrical panel was too old, not safe, and said they can schedule an appointment to upgrade it with safer panel within the week. Well, if you guys can't even fix this one switch, how could I ever trust you guys with my whole electrical panel??!!! Didn't even test the whole system to see if the switch is working properly! And a high price for such level of service that left me with no power for hot water!!!

If you are looking for professionals who can solve your impossible electrical problems, these are the guys. I have had electrical issues in my apartment for years now and every other electrician has not even been able to diagnose, let alone fix the issues with my transformers and lights. After trying pacific coast electricians, Francis arrived on time and figured out the issues in about 15 minutes. It took some time to order the parts but these guys know exactly what they are doing.

Rudy and Reggie did a great job replacing broken components and explained what they were doing every step of the way. They took their time to make sure everything was done correctly and safely. They were very friendly and provided more information than I could ever ask for.

Bottom line, if you're tired of being told that your problems cannot be fixed; give these guys a call. It is totally worth it.

Edit: I had a few more lighting issues that popped up since I last used pacific coast electricians. Unrelated to the last job. They were able to identify and fix the problem right away. Eddy and Manny did a great job and even went the extra mile to replace some other lights free of charge. I will be using pacific coast electricians for all my electrical needs in the future.
