Ben and the staff at Prime Electric did a fantastic job installing the 220 outlet for charging my electric vehicle. They were able to install it sooner and faster than originally quoted and the end result looks even better than I expected. Ben was especially helpful. He was able to handle a misunderstanding with grace and professionalism. He went above and beyond to help clarify confusion.
You can tell he takes pride in his work and business. There is a great reason Prime Electric only has five star reviews. They go out of their way to make sure the work they do is exceptional and their customers are happy. I would recommend to anyone needing electrical work. You won't be disappointed.

I called to request for someone to come out to give me an estimate to upgrade the outside panel box and rewire my entire house. This was not going to be a small or inexpensive job. I was given an appointment for today between 3:00-5:00 p.m., I was told that Ben would be coming out and that he would text me when he was on the way. In the days leading up to today, I received a text, two emails and a phone call confirming today's appointment.
By 4:55 when I had not heard from anyone, I called the main office to ask if Ben was still coming? I was told by the person who answered that they would message Ben and call me back with an eta. By 6:30, I still had not heard from anyone, so I called back to cancel the request. If I would have at least gotten a call letting me know they were running late or had to reschedule for another day, I would've been okay with that. But to not get a call from anyone, this tells me a lot about this company, they don't care and they obviously don't need my money.

The Prime Electricians were professional, personable and considerate. They explained exactly what they were going to do. They gave me a price and got permission for each item that they discovered that required repair/replacement to complete my original request for their service. They showed me each item that was fixed and that it now worked. They wore booties and masks when in the house, they cleaned up when they were done. I will definitely use them again when the need arises. I am very satisfied with their service. Thank you Prime Electric!

I have been around a long time with a background in construction. Prime Electric is the best service I have ever used. In a world of people who only "think" they know what's going on - Ben indeed KNOWS what's going on - repairs it quickly and at a fair price. What more can you ask. Service: Installation

Very impressive. I booked Prime Electric to mount a TV to the wall. They were very punctual, super friendly and very detail oriented. Ben came over asking all the right question to know exactly which hight and what proportions to the wall I want it. Came out great and was super fast, I definitely recommend working these guys and will be calling them back on future projects.

Ben and his team were tremendous in getting our job done well. They came on time and were very professional. Ben and his team had to install a CAT-6 wire from our home to our detached garage/studio. The job was challenging when it came to getting the wire work done from underneath that home to underneath the ground and then up into the detached garage/studio, but they got it all done.
We can't thank Ben and his team enough for the excellent work they did and we are very satisfied. Our Wi-Fi now works throughout the house and the detached garage/studio a lot more efficiently. Thanks Ben and team for all your hard work!

Ben and his staff were awesome! I had a three day job and Ben completed everything he said he would do. Ben was always on time and treated me with respect and took good care of my home. He was flexible and did extra things when I asked him to. Ben was very patient and explained every charge so there was no surprises. I would hire him again for all my electrical needs! Thanks Ben!

Ben is amazing! This is the second time he's done some work for me and both times he's been prompt and professional. I really appreciate that he gives you the pricing up front before starts doing any work. I also appreciate that he's quick to respond to emails with my many questions : For any electrical needs, Ben will always be my go to!

I've been meaning to post this review for a while. We've been incredibly happy with all the work Prime Electric has done on our house in the past and will continue to use them for future renovations. Ben really goes the extra mile to make sure everything is done as it should be. I've recommended Prime Electric to others, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them again to anyone looking for top-notch electrical work.

Our bathroom ceiling heaters both went bad which was a problem given the colder evenings in winter. We are repeat customers of Prime Electric due to the excellent service we have received from Ben. Ben put a lot of time and effort into obtaining the replacement parts to repair our existing heaters, which are no longer being manufactured with the same configuration.
Thanks to Ben's efforts, we saved money and now have comfortable bathrooms again. Ben and his assistant observed strict social distancing, wore masks and shoe covers and left the work sites in both bathrooms immaculate. He has educated us about preventive maintenance to extend the life of our household electrical products and answered our questions in terms that are easy for us to understand.
He has been polite, pleasant to deal with and has always returned calls promptly. He has been punctual and notified us in the event he were to be delayed if a prior job was running longer than anticipated. Our thanks to Ben and Prime Electric.

We just moved into a home that was built in 1958! After remodeling and moving in we discovered the electrical was outdated. We needed a new electrical panel! We search and asked for a good electrician. Boy did we find one in Prime Electric. Ben and his crew were professional, and clear step by step permits, LADWP, inspections, and completion. They were very communicative and clear about timelines.
We even received copies of the communication between Prime and the inspectors and LADWP. We always knew what was happening and when. Prime was amazing and we would recommend them without hesitation or any reservations.

Let me start by saying that we are seniors and did have some anxiety over the prospect of having electrical work done during our Covid 19 isolation. However, the risk to my partner of having another bad fall outweighed our apprehension. We selected Prime Electric following our online research for a company to replace our faulty porch and patio lighting fixtures.
We were impressed with the reviews for Prime Electric and that they are a local, family owned company with a long history and an actual office in the community. From our first contact with Heather to book our appointment, we had a great experience with Prime Electric. Ben and Miguel came to our home at the appointed time and followed very strict Covid 19 safety protocols throughout the entire service.
They were polite, neat and very efficient. The price charged was good for the work needed to replace the fixtures, and Ben very patiently answered a number of questions that we had about both the replacement fixtures and about future work needed at our home. We are looking forward to completing the other work with Prime Electric in the future and highly recommend them.

I am an out of state landlord and I called Prime Electric to do repair work based on a city inspection. Ben responded to me quickly and advised how best to handle the job and to deal with the city permit process. He scheduled a time/date to conduct an inspection for an estimate and got back to me very quickly. Of course, once he started the work, he found more issues and thoroughly explained what needed to be done and how much it would cost.
He was very open and honest and sent me pictures to better explain what the issues were and how best to resolve. He gave me an updated estimate and we scheduled a new appointment. On the day of the service, he performed the repairs, kept me in the loop and worked closely with my tenants. As I mentioned earlier I am out of state landlord, so to have someone like Ben with Prime Electric to help with repairs from afar is so comforting. I am extremely pleased with their service and would definitely use them again! Thanks so much Ben!

Ben is GREAT! Not only is he extremely knowledgeable, he is a good business man who is honest doesn't take advantage of you. Ben came out to take a look at a potential electrical issue and reassured me that upon inspection there was nothing to worry about. He also fixed a light fixture that had been bothering me for months. I highly recommend him for all of your electrical needs!

Needed an electrician to install a charger for my electric vehicle. Called around and I spoke with Ben who was extremely patient with all my questions and left a good impression. Even though he may not be the cheapest I was quoted, I believe in the saying "you get what you pay for". With a lifetime warranty you know he does quality work. He arrived on time and did a fantastic job letting me know exactly what to expect. It all went smoothly and left the job site clean. Would definitely use again for any of my electrical needs. Thanks Ben!

It was an absolute pleasure to deal with Prime Electric and personally with Ben. The service was impeccable from appointment call to completion of work. I had a bunch of big and small electrical needs, and Ben resolved them quickly and with great quality. As a real professional, Ben understands importance of efficient communication with clients. He listened attentively to all of my needs and concerns, and never showed any sign of impatience or lack of time.
The project took a few days, and Ben was responding quickly to my texts and phone calls during all that time. Apart from his direct duties, Ben was very helpful in recommending other services - handyman, painters, contractors. Thank you Ben. Especial thank you to Ben's co-worker Andrew Barnes, who recommended me a great handyman. Five stars to Prime Electric!

I had some outdoor lamps I needed installed and another pendant fixture. I made the call and Ben came out to give me a price. Two days later the lamps are installed and I couldn't be happier. I was given options regarding the installation and that is always good. Thank you for making this a very easy process and I'll be contacting you to replace my low-voltage lighting with the new LED lamps Ben suggested.

I was in search of an electrician when I came across Prime Electric and called to schedule a phone estimate, Ben called me right away and we scheduled an appointment for the same week. He came out walked me through what he would need to do to install my light fixture and got it done in a neat and timely manner. Also installed a dimmer which put the icing on the cake.
I couldn't be more happy with the results and feel so secure that it was done by someone who knew exactly what he was doing and backs his work with a lifetime warranty! I see now why this company has 5 stars! I will definitely be recommending this company to friends and family. Thanks again Ben so in love with my light fixture!

I am currently in the middle of three different projects with Prime Electric and I highly recommend them! It is incredibly easy to schedule with them, make payments and communicate with. Ben is thoughtful, knowledgeable and fair in his pricing. I have been looking for an electrician for a long time and I'm so happy I found Prime Electric.

My tenant contacted me and said his power was going in and out to some outlets in the past month. Two days ago, the power went out and did not come back on. I contacted Prime after reading their reviews; I am glad I did. They immediately answered my call, got an electrician out to the house, and fixed the problem. The best part is that they guarantee their work with a lifetime warranty. Pricing was good and my tenant is happy. I am definitely satisfied with the service I received.

My mom needed some electrical work done. Her circuit breaker was failing and since she's older she doesn't really use the internet much. She asked me to help her find a reliable, and trustworthy electrician, as she's had no real luck in the past. I looked up Prime Electric. Called and scheduled and appointment. They arrived on time, and were able to find the reason the breaker was not working properly.
They fixed everything in an hour and gave us some advice on some other electrical questions we had. Great service, knowledgeable and dependable. We will definitely call them back again! Thanks Prime Electric!

We hired Prime Electric to repair our ceiling and cabinet lights at our business and we could not be happier! I usually feel like I've been taken advantage of when working with other electricians. Ben and his father took their time diagnosing the problem, explained the issue and everything worked as promised! They are my new go to company for any electrical work!! I highly recommend them!

Our electrical set-up for our home was a "weekend warrior" job done by the previous owner, so we knew that we were on borrowed time before problems would begin to be known. So of course, the problem presented itself on a holiday weekend, on a Sunday, and after 5 p.m. We began calling different electricians and the first few did not make it past "hello." And then we discovered Prime Electric.
They had us at "hello." A professional service answered the call quickly and with professionalism. They took our information and said they would have a technician call us within the hour to discuss the issue and set-up an appointment. As promised, Ben Borenstein called us. He was upfront with the cost to come by the same night or the next day (a $200 savings if we waited), but let us decide.
Within 2 hours our power was back on. During the visit, he advised us of the state of our electric set-up for the home and made recommendations for improvement -- a new electrical panel. We braced for the price and were surprised at the affordability to do what we considered a major job. From start to finish, working with Ben and Prime Electric has been an honest and professional relationship. We could not be happier with his work. Highly recommend!

I had a problem at my house in which I had no power to the plugs on the back wall of my house. I called Prime Electric and I am glad I did. They came out and did a great job and were very fair with what they charged me. They were professional and cleaned up after themselves. I am very happy with their service.

I had an issue in which half of my electrical outlets no longer were getting any power. I called Prime Electric and the guy who came out was very knowledgeable and efficient. He figured out the problem and resolved the issue for me within a couple of hours. He was kind, honest, intelligent, and gave me a fair price to fix the issue. I would recommend Prime Electric to anybody. 5 stars all the way!
