Best Electricians In Santa Barbara

“Rob was extremely knowledgeable, informative and made the recommendation to install surge protection to our panel. We will have Laughlin Electric return to do the work for us.“

“We had one of our circuit breakers grow old and needed a replacement installed. Charlie had done a full panel replacement for us on a rental unit several years before, and we were pleased with his work then, so we called him again. He made himself available the next morning and arrived on schedule. His first order of business was safety and he checked for power in several places before tracing the circuit and opening the panel. He noted that the aluminum conductors used in our home required a special bonding paste to improve connections to the brass screws. He finds aluminum conductors infrequently, so his old tube of paste did not satisfy him. So he excused himself and drove to his electrical supply to replace it. Within an hour, he had removed the old breaker, trimmed the old wire, correctly applied the new paste required by the National Electrical Code, and installed the new breaker. At one point, he went to his truck to bring back one of his reference books. He looked up the gauge of the aluminum wire to make sure that it was code compliant and explained that he would not have left the old wire in service if it were not up to current code. While walking past an external plug that had an open waterproof door, he thoughtfully observed that leaving it open during a rainstorm could result in a short circuit. He was careful to make sure that we were not offended by his constructive observation and comment. Charlie is not only a seasoned electrician, but human being with a genuine concern for the safety of others. Charlie is a licensed electrician with years of experience. We enjoyed his explanations of each step of the project and cannot recommend him highly enough.

“Steve installed two outlets for us, tapping off of an existing box. Everything was done to code, and very cleanly/precisely as well. We are very satisfied.“

“I was visiting my mother in Santa Barbara and she had a problem with her panel that put out power in the bathrooms. We called CA, they got there the same day, and in half an hour they had the problem solved. It was something that could have burned the house down, and they fixed it quickly and we are delighted! Best electricians we've used, and we've been in Santa Barbara thirty-five years. Call these electricians!“

“Power Electric was the electrician for the solar installation on our house. They also installed our "critical needs" box and panel and the wiring was clean and well labeled. We have an old house and while replacing outlets I got some strange readings and decided it best to get someone who knows what they are doing. Power sent out Ben and he did a great job sorting through fifty year old wiring and making it work correctly. While here he also fixed an issue we had with our furnace and AC. He was professional and cleaned up after completing the work.“

“We had a power surge in our condo which flipped a few circuits. Steven returned my call within minutes and was able to pop by for a quick fix. Very nice, efficient and competent. We will use him again.“

“Called a few other companies and these guys were easy to deal and they did a great job. Would highly recommend to anyone out there!“
