Todd did a bunch of work for us. He treated us well. He replaced our 2 electric panels, fixed switches and other items that simply made our electricity work better and/or better than it was prior. He does things the right way so that you get a good result that lasts, and doesn't take short cuts that others have done before him which were the causes of all of the issues he addressed. He is at the top of his craft.

My parents needed electrical repair so I searched the web and found a couple of local companies. Todd - Chaney Electric - was far more reasonable (and located in Carlsbad) so I went with Todd. I highly recommend Chaney Electric for anyone needing diagnosis and repair. My parents power went out in their living room and patio area. It turns out that the cause was from a faulty outlet over the stove in the kitchen!

The original installer (who installed the stove) connected to one of the living room wires and ran a new wire across the attic to provide power to the stove. When they did this they also installed an outlet above the stove. The diagnosis was difficult because the attic wires were covered with blown in insulation - so a quick peek in the attic just didn't work. Todd was able to track it down and repair the melted wire through his efforts and expertise.

Job well done Chaney Electric! Todd treated my parents very fairly and they're super happy with his work. We (my parents and I) highly recommend Chaney Electric. Five stars

I love Todd Chaney. He is a great electrician and a stand up guy too! I saw him stand up for a teller being verbally abused by another patron at my bank. He is such an honorable guy I knew he would be a trustworthy electrician. He was so nice when he came to do my electric work he even threw in some extra services as a wedding present to me and my husband. Fast service and very reasonably priced. I recommend him to all my friends and family!

Our home needed a new look and Chaney Electric came to out rescue by installing recessed lighting in our living, dining, and bedrooms. They were professional clean and up to code on the first attempt. I have recommended Chaney Electric to my friends and family for more than a decade.

One of my electrical sockets lit on fire one day, I called Chaney Electric as they were highly recommended to me by a close friend. They answered on my first attempt and had someone out to my house before the end of the day. They were able to assess the issue and fix everything on the spot! I was thoroughly impressed as I have had nothing but problems with electricians in the past.

I will only use Chaney Electric moving forward and absolutely recommend their services for all electric issues or jobs, big or small. Thank you again to everyone at Chaney Electric

Todd at Chaney Electric was recommended by a coworker. He moved my electrical panel so I could expand my laundry room. His work is professional and clean. I will definitely use his services again.

Oh my God this guy is like a dog with a bone! His own! I have never ever in my life met someone who is so tenacious! He will not stop until the job is done and only to your satisfaction. His level of professionalism is unmatched! I think he knows every contractor in the state of California in order that he can get your job done before anybody else and usually under budget! If you can, hire this guy! Neil.

Chaney Electric fixed my outlets correctly and quickly. He even diagnosed a potential problem, so I am going to have him repair that as well. He was clear and showed me the problem and explained that it was a poor piece of equipment used in building my house in 1982. Having him diagnose a potential fire hazard is worth its weight in gold! My dog liked him too! Thank you

Todd is great. He has been doing this all of his life so there is no doubt he is going to do the job right. I've used him before so he was my first call when I needed several lights and outlets installed on the outside. He took the trouble of running a switch to the door inside the garage so it was more convenient for us. Fair price and solid work!

I have worked with Todd for a very long time at our property in Oceanside. Having been in property management for over 23 years I can honestly say that I have never met an electrician with greater knowledge and more Integrity than Todd. He always has his customers best interests in mind and that means he will not cut corners. And he will take the time to explain to you why such and such is not the best application or the best idea or perhaps even not to code. If you want something done absolutely perfectly right, so that you can have peace of mind, then Todd is the person to call.

Todd was at my house for 3 days and was very professional. Work was outstanding and he brought my house up to code from previous homeowner butchery.

I have worked with Todd on several projects including the complete remodel of my home. He does excellent work and does not take short cuts - which I really appreciate. Todd has over 30 years experience so he is able to diagnose and resolve problems quickly, which saves me money. He is also a very fair person. Just last month I had him relocate the overhead power lines to underground conduit at one of my rental properties. The job went easier than expected, so he reduced his quote by $800. I highly recommend Todd.

We had a near-disastrous electrical problem at the outlet of our dryer, so we called Todd based on his reviews. He came out, determined that the breaker was overloaded. He replaced the breaker, the outlet AND the cord connected to the dryer in record time and was very affordable. He may come off as a little rough-around-the-edges, but he's skilled, knowledgable and honestly, pretty funny. Definitely recommended.

I had seen the reviews and was really looking forward to getting a bid from this company for some electrical work we needed done. When I called to set up an appointment, they were extremely disrespectful, rude, and made me feel like I was inconveniencing them with my business. I've NEVER written a Yelp review, and I'm sad that my first one has to be a bad one. Chaney, you lost out on a lot of money here. VERY POOR communication skills on your part.

I own a couple of aging apartment buildings that are in dire need of electrical redo. I called Chaney electric and Todd came out and assessed the situation which needed new panels and a few other electrical needs. I received a very fair reasonable quote and the job was done the next day. Todd had a lot of inventory so no need to wait for parts. I have called him back several times for various other electrical problems and he has been very prompt and professional. I will keep using Chaney electric. Highly recommend
