"Garafano Electric has being taking care of all the electrical needs and upgrades in our 90 plus year old house for a few years now. They always do A+ work. We're currently in the middle of some home renovations and they've been willing and able to work with our erratic schedule. Honest, dependable, and great at what they do. Can't recommend them high enough!"

"Electricity was needed for a new control panel for my backyard sprinklers, and I needed a couple of light fixtures replaced in my house. The gentleman showed up on-time and quickly took care of everything in three hours, which included making a run to the hardware store for a part. The price was very reasonable since I used the promotion on Angie's List. Moving forward, they will be the first people I call for electrical work."

"Remodeled home and upgraded wiring in old part of house to match the remodeled part. It was a big job, but Rene did truly elegant and effective work. He cleaned up after himself and the previous electricians' old work. My wiring was a mess before, but NOT any more!!! I am super happy with the work, the products installed, and above all, with Rene himself. If crazy electrical things came out of my walls, Rene would show me, offer me solutions, give me pricing estimates, and fix it--either per my request or better when possible. Will definitely call on him again for future projects. Totally recommend him to all my friends. Call him; you'll be glad you did."

"We hired Instinct Electric (Alonzo) to install a new 220V line for our Heat Pump Water Heater. He delivered outstanding work at a very fair price. He even made an unscheduled stop after hours to complete the electrical connection after the water heater was installed. Excellent communication throughout the process. Installation (including electrical) passed city inspection first time. Thank you, Alonzo!"

Dan and his crew were very professional, and provided me with exceptional service, troubleshooting and repairing my electrical issues. Dan Richards Electric, was reasonably priced. I was charged what I was quoted, there were no hidden charges. They were on time, addressed all my questions and concerns and went over and beyond to accommodate my schedule. I would recommend Dan Richards Electric to others, and I would definitely use them again!"

FAQs for electrical service projects in Santa Monica, CA

Always start by confirming the pro’s license number, insurance coverage, and experience level. Visit the electrician’s website, scan recent customer reviews, and verify credentials with your local labor department. Request proof of liability insurance and at least two references that you can contact. These quick checks take only a few minutes but go a long way toward ensuring safe, code-compliant work and protecting your home in the event of an issue.

Grouping several electrical jobs into one appointment means you pay a single service-call fee and one set of travel expenses. Instead of asking a pro to return three separate times for outlets, switches, and fixtures, have everything tackled in one visit. The electrician stays productive, and you avoid extra trip charges, often shaving a sizable chunk off the final bill without compromising quality.

DIY electrical work can be dangerous and, in many areas, illegal without a license. One miswired connection risks shocks, fires, or expensive damage. Licensed electricians carry the right tools, follow local code, and know how to shut down power safely before they start. Hiring a pro may cost more upfront, but it protects your home, family, and insurance coverage in the long run.
