"Ohm electrical was easy to work with and the overall experience was awesome. Price was fair and the work resolved some unforeseen challenges as I was having a sub-par Federal Pacific sub panel replaced and an EV charger installed. Ohm Electrical provided prompt and professional service. I will use the them from now on for all of my electrical needs."

"They were considerate, punctual and efficient. I am very happy with their electricians and the main person who estimated the job and assessed what needed to be done. They installed 3 light fixtures, an outdoor outlet and a new switch with a dimmer. I would certainly ask them back to do additional work when needed. I obtained a future estimate for replacing my kitchen lights as well. Likely to do this in the future. Very nice to deal with! And honest..."

"Marcos did an outstanding job, responded quickly, and went out of his way to find the right switch for a custom hard-wired wall sconce. Premium Electric's service was excellent and at a fair price."

"Over the years I have restored and upgraded five different homes on two continents (USA and Europe.) Odinson Electric are by far the best, most creative, and most professional electricians I have ever worked with. They found creative solutions to completely re-wire my 1920s-era house, completely replacing the old knob-and tube wiring and old circuit breaker box, without destroying the charm and ambience of the home. The conduits that are visible down in my garage are so well thought out and beautifully installed that it is almost a work of art. Emilio (the owner) and the company have been very responsive to last-minute changes and additions. Every new wire and cable in the house was labeled so that any follow-on work in the future will be easy. The electricians themselves were very professional in their demeanor and very trustworthy. The price was very reasonable and competitive. If I ever have another electrical project, I will not even bother to get other estimates. I will not hesitate to hire Odinson Electric again. I know this review probably sounds over the top, but you just do not find contractors of this quality very often, and I cannot say enough good about them."

"Fred was very communicative and flexible in helping me, my landlord and my fellow tenants work out the solution for adding a new 220V circuit and isolating some of my circuitry from the panel in my neighboring tenants office!. After understanding a relatively complex set of issues quickly he provided a fair estimate and proceeded with the job to fit the schedule of my neighbors to avoid interrupting their service by working on a Saturday. Fred arrived fully equipped and was able to finish the job in one day to my specifications and well done! Amber Electric Service is my new go to electrician. I am very pleased!"

"Nery and his crew did an excellent job installing both a new electric panel upgrade and a 240V EV charger. They were open to discussing and negotiating a reasonable price and working with the city to have the new panel inspected. I would highly recommend Single Line Electric Company to others and would use their services again if needed."

Panel Upgrade
"I am very pleased on the outcome of the electrical work done to my house. They installed my meter panel and main panel box , connected all my circuits in just two days. Workmanship looked very professional and passed inspection. They took care of all the permit application and coordinated with our power company to connect the new line. Overall I am very pleased and I will definitely hire them again for future electrical projects."

Electricians do a fair amount of larger remodeling and new construction projects but also common residential projects including:
For cost information related to the above tasks, visit our Electrical Cost Guide.
A truly skilled, well-equipped professional with a truck full of parts that charges $100 an hour can be a much wiser choice than an inexperienced hack, working with inadequate tools and no parts, but charging much less. Often, more experienced professionals get the job done quickly with warrantied work.
2. Compare Travel ChargesRates reflect travel times. Travel charges can have a big impact on your costs and are in some ways easier to compare than hourly rates. Many electricians spend a third or more of their time navigating traffic on their way to a jobsite. Every contractor must find a way to pay for the expense of driving each day.
3. Bundle Repair Jobs TogetherWhen you feel it’s time to call a pro, review your list and then conduct a mini-inspection of your home. Look for faulty switches and dysfunctional or crowded outlets. When the electrician comes, you’ll save money and time by getting everything taken care of at once.
