Keith Walter and his crew, Alan and Andy did an upgrade of electrical panel and installed a new sub panel, labeled the breakers by tracing the house lighting and outlets. They were efficient, knowledgeable and courteous. They explained the job to an 84 year old woman to help me understand what is happening to panels in a 50 year old house in Scripps Ranch.

Keith’s crew did a good job. They were efficient, on schedule and professional. I would recommend them for any electrical home projects. It’s a little on the pricy side but you’ll be satisfied with their work.

Once we were able to schedule and align on a time to visit, Keith did extremely high-quality work at our home, handling a number of issues with electrical outlets, ethernet/coaxial panels, and light switches with extreme care and effectiveness. My wife and I feel great with the repairs and upgrades Keith performed. We'd highly recommend him for his quality work --

Keith and his people were nothing short of fantastic! I tried multiple other local companies who came out for about 5 mins to give me a quote and then threw a blanket/standard (and over-priced) quote in my face while telling me it would be months until they could get to it. Keith and one of his best guys showed up, spent over an hour looking at my panel, sub panel and the existing electrical footprint and listening to my end goal requests and then gave me multiple detailed quote options and solutions! They got right to work and everything was done in a few days. Keith was great with communication throughout the entire process! I would absolutely call him again if needed, but I won?t need to? the work was beyond professional! Thanks Keith!

I didn't know the rooms could be this well lit. We had some additional recessed lighting and ceiling fan/light fixtures installed (among other things). We hired Walter Electric a couple years ago to do a major upgrade on the home electrical/lighting, which turned out great, and so it was very good to be able to get them again. Keith had some great suggestions and it's really livened up the space. They are friendly, accomodating, and have great workmanship. Just really nice experience all around.

Keith and his team at Walter Electric are incredible. We had them do a ton of work on our house: new lighting in closets, LED lighting in two rooms, install new track lighting and ceiling fans, move switches and outlets around, and install hard wired lights in the bathroom and the front of the house. All of the work was done with precision craftsmanship and they left our house cleaned up nicely each day. Keith provided great guidance and recommendations along the way and was responsive to answer our questions. Would highly recommend Walter Electric!

I LOVED the work that Keith and his team did for me. It was so easy from start to finish. The entire team was professional, respectful, and communicative. They absolutely went above and beyond. I have an OLD house and the entire wiring needed to be redone. This seemed daunting and Keith not only walked through the whole process but even had amazing ideas for improving my current lighting situation. We replaced all the fans and lighting fixtures, added canned lights, provided updated switches that dim, added motion detectors for outside lighting, added a plug wherever I wanted and added a new heater/fan for the bathroom. Keith also outlined everything they were doing, the labor costs, and the cost of the materials so everything was so clear and there were no surprises. I am so happy with the results and truly am so appreciative. My house looks so great now!

I needed a complete redo of my 1970s electrical. He gave me a good estimate. Then I added a bunch of stuff. It was around Christmas too. But they were available and squeezed in my emergency between their other appointments. Minus half a start for a couple unfinished plug plates but really no biggie. My project I'm sure was annoying and Walter Electric was awesome!

Keith was great to work with. Walter Electric added lighting to our older home and replaced the sub-panel all for a fair price. We could not be happier with the quality of work and personnel.

First, Keith Walter worked really hard putting together a quote in the midst of the Coronavirus. Having two immune compromised family members living here, Keith assured me him and his workers would take all the proper precautions. Keith was able to work out an estimate over email and video calls which was very reasonable without setting foot on my property. Alan was the lead for the project and did an outstanding job. Alan and his crew wore all proper protective gear and took proper precautions to ensure the safety of my family. End result, I am very satisfied with the customer service and professionalism of Keith and his workers. I can t say enough good. I spent 26 years in the Army and our establishment is built on trust and respect which doesn t come easy. Walter Electric has earned my trust and respect.
