Mar Vista Electric

Scott replied to my text promptly and Jose arrived early that afternoon, and promptly found what had gone wrong with the power supply to our back yard fountain and fixed it. A pleasure to work with - I'll happily text Scott next time I need an electrician.

Scott (and Jose) took excellent care of us. Fast and friendly service at a fair price. Will definitely be using him again.

Scott and team are super professional and great at what they do. Scott has helped me with miscellaneous electrical issues and projects since 2017, including helping me find a suitable studio space for my electric kilns and repairing and upgrading electrical around my studio and yard. I couldn't be happier with the results. His focus on safety is impeccable and he has a great attitude. Thanks Scott!

Scott and his team are exceptional. Very responsive, timely and professional. Could not be happier with the service they provided and I will exclusively be calling West LA Electric for any of our electrical needs!

Outstanding company and stellar service! I sent photos via text to Scott regarding a fuse that would randomly blow and he recommended an inspection which was spot on. Jose arrived on time, spent almost 2 hours thoroughly examining the fuse panel, looking for burnt or loose wires, checked neighboring outlets, even those in the ceiling. Throughout his review of the wiring and panel, Jose clearly communicated what he was doing and why.

I knew very little about the panel until Jose who took the time to explain it in detail. I am most grateful for Scott and Jose! The company is a rare find and will be my go to in the future for all electrical issues. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We needed to swap our three GFI outlets on the exterior of our house. We were not in a rush. I called West LA Electric, and they sent Jose out within 90 minutes. I was told that they would charge by the hour, and then there would be the costs of parts, etc. I was expecting a 2 hour job or so, but Jose took care of all three outlets in less than 1!

He was also super nice and explained what he was doing to be very clearly. Great work, reasonably priced, and everyone I interacted with at this company was awesome. I would totally use them again on future projects.

Didn't use them, but Scott was extremely responsive and made suggestions over text. Based on how hard getting an immediate response is, they would be my first choice next time I have an issue

West LA Electric is a fantastic outfit and Scott is super duper efficient and honest. Today I thought I needed to update my outlets with a reset button as they were dead and no amount of fiddling with the fuse fixed it. Turns out there is one plug with a reset button and it controls all of them on the wall. Did I know that? Clearly not. But WLE did and instead of charging me $185 to add reset buttons, this free advice was all I needed. West LA Electric has done all our lights and they've been awesome.

I cannot say enough good things about Scott H. the owner of West LA Electric. We arrived home today, Sunday, to find that half of the electricity in our house was off, then on, then off again. I texted Scott who immediately diagnosed it as being a problem with one of our "legs", the connections between the power pole and our home. He recommended calling DWP.

I did so and they came out in less than an hour, and fixed the problem, which was corrosion at the power pole. Remember that this Sunday, and Scott replied in under a minute with the exact right advice. If you ever need an electrician, call Scott at West LA Electric. He also put in my car charging port about six years ago, and that's worked like a charm ever since. No issues whatsoever. Thank you, Scott!

These guys are the best. Good troubleshooting, very efficient and friendly. No bogus, or hidden prices / quotes. Can highly recommend.

Scott & Jose are very knowledgeable and patient. Scott has been servicing my managed buildings for over 20 years. He's always reliable, well priced and ready to explain thing as well as make suggestions.

Called them again, this time to upgrade an electrical socket with a proper ground. Can't say enough good things about both Scott and Jose; Scott is so patient listening to the issue and suggesting solutions that don't necessarily make him a profit; which seems so unusual. I trust his guidance, and Jose's work was fast and efficient. They're my go-to electricians from now on; happy to have them as a resource!

Came the same day I called for smoke alarm malfunction. Replaced alarm and checked wiring. Worked out great and no more beeping! Masked and foot coverings too.

I don't usually write reviews, but found West LA Electric through a Yelp search. I was so pleased with them that I'm writing one :) From the moment I called for an estimate, Scott was super friendly, explained how the process and price estimate works (we were looking to have 2 ceiling fans installed), and wasn't pushy at all about committing to the service then -- as I wanted some time to make the decision.

We ended up hiring them, and they were so great. They texted that morning to confirm the time and appointment, and as promised, Jose, the electrician, called when he arrived. Jose completed the work very efficiently and neatly, and was super friendly (answering all of my boyfriend's questions about how the electrical worked!). I would definitely hire them again -- thank you!

Both Scott and Jose were knowledgeable on the NEMA 14-50 Installation and Backyard light installation. Prices were fair and communication was present!

Scott and his team are top notch! I will forever be using and recommending their services based on top notch customer service, overall knowledge and expertise. Scott and Jose made sure the job was done right and truly stand behind their work. When a minor issue arose they came out promptly (same day) to get everything taken care of the right way. Friendly, easy to work with and exceptional customer service. Thank you West LA Electric!

West LA Electric did a fantastic job installing two Ring surveillance cameras in our Condo HOA. Scott himself came to find the possible solutions, he gave us a reasonable quote, and then Jose came to make it happen. There were a few additional technical hurdles along the way, but Jose found the best solution every time. The experience of these guys is tremendous, they are very courteous, respectful of furniture, attentive to cleaning after the work is done, and they even went the extra mile to help fix gate lock issues following a break-in.

This is a local business that deserves to be supported and talked about in the community. Smart professionals with a friendly attitude and reasonable prices. We only call West LA Electric every time we need electrical services, and once again they were awesome. Consistently excellent! Thank you!

West LA Electric provided an exceptional customer service experience from start to finish! Scott was so helpful in explaining what would need to be done to complete minor electrical repairs around my home, and Jose showed up on time and worked super efficiently to get everything done properly. Jose has a great personality, is super helpful, smart, and is an overall trustworthy professional.

He made me feel so much better about the electrical tasks that had been on my to-do list for far too long, as I researched local electricians and finally made a sound decision on one. I highly recommend West LA Electric as they are honest, transparent, prompt, professional and comprehensive in their new customer intake and on-site service. I greatly appreciate technicians and businesses that live up to their public image and marketing promises! Thank you so much Scott and much gratitude to you, Jose for a wonderful job! Appreciate you both!

I contacted West LA Electric to install a chandelier in my condo. Communicating with Scott was easy and he allowed me to communicate via text to illustrate the work that needed to be done, which was super convenient. Jose completed the job quickly and allowed me to observe and ask questions (since I am a lighting nerd). I enjoyed working with WLA Electric so much that I hired them for a commercial installation the following month.

I would not have hired them a second time with my work reputation on the line had I not had full confidence they would do an amazing job. And it turned out amazing! They will be my go-to electrician from here on out.

I was installing a new hot water tank for our coffee shop and was stumped when it came to the wiring. I was fairly certain I had things wired up correctly but didn't want to risk a $1000 machine. I called Scott and he was extremely helpful. He managed to help me figure everything out over the phone with a little research and a few questions, plus he didn't even charge me. With his help I was able to correct a mistake I had made in my wiring and everything is working great. Thanks Scott!

Hi Bryan, In reading your review, I find it untrue, and Yelp has suggested that it is provided verification that this call, in fact took place or else they may remove it. Can you please provide me proof to send to Yelp that there was a connection between the two of you, to verify you did call the right company. You can simply take a snapshot using your smart phone history, which provides the date, time, how long the call was etc.

It is suggested we wait 10 days for your response, and if we don't hear from you we can submit to Yelp for its removal. Maybe you can consider to remove it yourself as in my time working for Scott, I have never heard him hang up on a potential customer. *****Trying to get me to take down the Review. Scott was rude and these lies being told in order to protect an employee by calling a potential customer a Liar. Deal with another COMPANY. DONT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY. YOU HAVE OTHER OPTIONS******

My house is old and the electric panel is really old. Probably about 40 to 50 years old. I was having some weird problems with my NEMA 14-50 outlet for my Tesla Model 3 charger so I knew I needed to call an electrician and I wanted the best. I found West LA Electric on Yelp in the #1 spot and I'm glad I did! I texted Scott the details and he sent Jose and Gabriel right over which was all I could hope for on such short notice.

These guys really know their stuff and taught me a lot about how homes are wired and why things are done certain ways. Even though the panel was probably older than them they knew exactly what to do which was awesome. They tested everything, moved some things around, and after everything was back to working with a reconditioned breaker, tested everything again including the operating amps and temperatures of each breaker to make sure everything was going to keep working once they left. These guys are pros and know what they are doing so if you want the job done right call them!

Let me tell you something folks. I was freaking out over a lights issue when the lights would turn completely on and off throughout the day. It was driving me crazy enough to call for an electrician to come in and repair the issue. I called West LA Electric and Scott, the business owner, answered my call. I quickly told him the issue and he already knew the answer immediately.

I sent him a picture of the lights and he suspected that 50 watt lightbulbs are installed instead of the 20 watt ones (Cut me some slack. They look exactly the same!) Lo and behold, I replaced the 50 watts with the right 20 watts and now my lights aren't turning on and off like before. I assume Scott gets these beginner questions all the time and he answered my question like it was the first time he heard it. Thanks Scott for saving my building from getting burnt down! Appreciate it. I know who I would call if I ever have any electrical problems down the road.

We had an unusual problem with an old breaker panel. Scott was able to come out within 2 hours. In short order he identified the problem, tracked down an obscure breaker switch, got it installed, and solved the problem. No b.s., just straightforward service. Highly recommended.

Have used West LA Electric for several years. Over that time, they have rewired my pool filter, pool light and patio lights. Put in the electrical for a cabana and a waterfall pump for my pond They have changed my whole electrical service when the line from the DWP pole hung down on my roof on the way to the box at the back of my house. Put in all new circuit breakers and changed the electrical service to a more convenient location. Rewired my kitchen for new electric oven, then again for a new microwave and a third time for a new dishwasher. Rewired garage when I put in an air conditioning system. Installed a garage door opener and the sensors.

When I sold that house the home inspection had ZERO faults with the electrical. Lived in that house for many years. Also had West LA Electric put in the electrical for modular workstations at 2 of my new offices, and dismantle them when I retired. All in all, extremely satisfied with the work, I know it was up to the legal requirements and that is why I am currently having them upgrade the electrical at my newly purchased house.

I have worked with Scott from West LA Electric for many years. You could not ask for a more honest professional. Scott will look for ways to save you money without compromising the integrity of the job. Scott always make sure the job is finised correctly and I have never had to call him to return to a job. Scott has a very professional staff making sure the customer is first. You owe it to yourself to make you next call to Scott at West LA Electric.

I've worked with Scott and team for a few years now (adding new power outlets indoor and outdoor, installing and replacing light fixtures etc). They are always professional and courteous. The quality of their work is impeccable and to code. I would recommend West LA Electric to anyone who need any electrical work done.

All bad. We need the right answers not a guessing act. The man came into my home, charged me a $150 an fixed nothing. My plugs still dont work. Im calling someone else an asking if the can fix my problem up front. Last time i make the mistake.

I texted Scott yesterday to schedule service. (Always great when businesses are able to communicate via text these days - it really simplifies everything.) I'm replacing an old dishwasher and my old wiring was not up to code. Gabriel arrived promptly at 8:30 this morning with a friendly and cheerful attitude. He put down his tarps to protect my floors and got right to work installing the new outlet.

That was the easy part! During the course of his work, Gabriel discovered that the breaker for the dishwasher was only putting out 25 V instead of 120 V. He tried in several different ways to fix it, but the breaker was just old and worn out. I am glad that Gabriel discovered this problem now before it could have affected my new dishwasher. West LA electric will return after the weekend to install the new breaker and also a couple motion sensor lights.

Both Gabriel and Scott were communicative, responsive, and friendly! Their prices are fair when you consider the fact that their work is insured and I would rather pay a slight premium for work that is done right and backed by a business owner and a tight-knit team who care about their reputation. This is the sort of thing that will save you time and money in the long run. West LA Electric has been added to my contacts and will be my go-to choice for electrician services from here on out.

Scott the owner is one of the last of the good guys. In addition to treating his customers fairly, West LA Electric also treats its employees well. He along with his lead tech Eric, train and nurture his workers to bring out their full potential as highly skilled electricians. Their business values of honesty, pride of workmanship and responsibility that the employees pick up at the company, I can tell you first hand, benefit them in their personal lives as well. By using West LA Electric not only do you get great electrical expertise, you are also hiring good people and a company that has a positive impact on the community.

I highly recommend West LA Electric for residential electrical work of any complexity. They do everything with excellence - from recessed lights, to complex in-wall wiring, splitting of lights, circuit analysis and reconfiguration, fixing other people's work and advanced assessments and consulting. Everything from the original set-up to clean up is well organized with PLAN behind it.

They THINK before they do the work and as a result they do it on time at fair prices with great customer satisfaction. I highly recommend them and will personally use them again for my other projects.
