The two men who came were outstanding. They arrived on time, were very courteous, explained everything to us and worked diligently to get the job done. Everything was left very clean, also. They were here for 2 1/2 hours. I would definitely call them again and highly recommend them. A pleasure to have in my home. The charge of $75 an hour for two men was amazing!
Description of Work: They changed out old electric outlets, replaced a breaker and rewired an outlet that didn't work.

Kieth got back to me right away and we discussed price to install retro-fit units in the existing cans. It was in line with other bids, lower than most, and his schedule allowed for the work to be done the same week. After giving the job some thought, Kieth got back to me and suggested replacing the cans as well, feeling it would be a better option. It added about $300, but his cost was still very reasonable compared to the other companies. I appreciated that Kieth wanted to do the job the right way, not the easy way. His crew were prompt and very professional, cleaning up as they went along. I would recommend this company to anyone interested in a reasonably price professional job.
Description of Work: replaced 12 dimmable fluorescent can lights in kitchen ceiling with dimmable LED lights. The ballasts were causing about half the lights to fail, so we wanted to upgrade to LED. They also replaced the dimmers.

Purchased house in Eagle Rock and needed a bunch of electrical work done. Mr. Johnson came by and spent 45 minutes giving us free advice, and recommending that we not do a few things that we had considered that would have been costly and, in his view, not necessary (he would have made more money by simply saying OK). For the remaining work, he offered us the option of a fixed price or to simply hire his electricians on an hourly basis. We purchased multiple new light fixtures, and decided to go with the hourly approach. The charge was $100 an hour for two electricians (we could have done $75 for one), and we were extremely pleased. His folks were prompt, polite, and did great work.
Description of Work: Added light switches, installed several fixtures, changed fixture locations, installed smoke detectors, changed outlets to GFI, inspected electrical system of newly purchased old house.

This company is just awesome. I used them before but forgot how great they are. My car was robbed when I left garage door open so I wanted light on in house when garage door open. Called garafano electric first. They called back and said it couldn't be done. Miguel and Carlos, such nice people, came and did it easily. Works great. Security light in front not working. Honestly told me just bulb replacement and did it. I love these guys.

Johnson Electric had done several jobs for us in the past, so I called and asked Keith if he could have his men do the necessary work. We agreed upon the time frame. His men showed up on time, quickly assessed the situation, made the necessary changes, cleaned up what little mess they had made and left everything in perfect order. It was a pleasure having them here.
Description of Work: We needed to have a frayed power cord for the dishwasher replaced and the receptacle for the refrigerator moved.

Messaged for service quote, and received response promptly. Unfortunately, my area is out of his service range, unless it is a large job. He did offer his phone number to call, in case they have time for our job. Since we are just wanting to have all our mismatched our outlets & switches replaced by new ones provided by us, we will look into a local electrician. Appreciate the prompt response & offering his services

Description of Work: Johnson Electric advertised on Angie's list that they do work in the San Gabriel Valley so that is why we selected them. They were professional and courteous when we caled to request an estimate for repair but referred us to Infinity Electric advising us that they did not offer service that far east in San Gabriel Valley. Infinity Electric did a great job and we will hire Infinity Electric again. I am not sure if they are on Angie's list or not.

Keith called me back the same morning I called him to tell me he could squeeze me in the same day. His staff arrived a few minutes late (due to a previous job taking longer than expected), but they actually called to say they'd be a little late. So, that wasn't a problem. The work was done quickly and was 1/3 the price that another electrician had quoted. Later that day, my husband called Keith to ask whether he also thought we might need a bigger breaker. Keith said yes and walked my husband through how to do it, so we wouldn't have to wait for him to have time to come back (which also saved us $, since we didn't have to pay him for that time). Excellent experience.

I had a electrical problem which I wanted Johnson Electrical to fix. Upon hearing my description of the problem, he made a simple suggestion before having him come out, the fix solved the problem instantly which easily saved me $100. Other vendors I asked asking for $100 dollars upfront just to give me an estimate! I would definitely call this guy next time I have a problem.

I had a partial power failure in the kitchen, eliminating some power sources but not others. Johnson Electric sent two technicians to do the work. Trouble shooting throughout the downstairs and upstairs areas of my condominium was required to identify the problem. I was impressed with the thoroughness needed to identify the problem and the attention to detail and overall professionalism of the technicians.

I telephone Johnson Electric on Thursday. He said that he could not come out that same day but that tomorrow between 8:30 and 9:30 a.m. someone would. Imagine that? Next day service. Where do you get that kind of great service now a days? Next day Friday, the electrician was at my door at 8:40 a.m. So great! He figured out my problem and said that someone would be back on Monday morning to fix the problem since he had other customers appointments that day. At exactly 8:30 a.m. on Monday, the electrician arrived and did the job with minimum hole drilling. He even spackled the tiny holes for us! Amazing workmanship! I now have full power in my kitchen and everything is right with the world.
Description of Work: They gave me back electrical power to half of my kitchen.

We had a partial blackout on a Thursday night (kitchen, family & living room) which we at first were able to reset the breaker but 2 hours later were not. I called Keith Johnson on Friday from my work and he sent someone to try and put a new breaker in without me there (first time customer, too!) but was unsuccessful and called me to say it was a short inside the house. I asked if I could leave my job (Friday afternoon, knowing I would be without power all weekend or even into another week!) and meet someone there and he agreed. His guys showed up on time, were very fast at figuring out where the short was and very efficient and professional (admitted he loved his job!) and got my power up quickly. I would definitely use this company again!

Couldn't be nicer. Mr. Johnson's assistant, Chino, worked quickly and well. Chino discovered my path lights had simply been burned out and didn't need a new timer box. I was advised about detectors, and now, if one near the kitchen is too sensitive and goes off too often, I am to get a photoelectric model which will only goes off when there is trouble. We have used them for years. They are always dependable and reasonable. They will save you money if they can.

I called and they were able to schedule for the next day. The technician was a little early, but it beats being late. He diagnosed the issue quickly and offered a few options. While I ran to the store to pick-up a new light fixture, he replaced the electrical outlet in my garage. He then replaced my existing light fixture. I couldn't be happier with the quality of the work or the service.
Description of Work: I had to have an electrical outlet replaced and I needed them to trouble shoot an issue with a light fixture. Everytime I turned the light on it would make a crackling noise.

Overall it was a good experienced, the various workers were nice guys and answered all my questions. I am sure if I had another problem they could do another great job. Thanks.
Description of Work: My garage had no electrical power and I had difficulty opening the doors. Most likely the original wiring was done many years ago by the original owner. I called Johnson Electrical and they promptly sent their trouble shooter out. The problem was the underground old wires were dead and a new line had to be installed. The job was explained and I spoke with the owner and they gave me the price. Although I was not given an estimate in writing he explained the costs. The new line was connected under my house and the very long line was set up along my driveway, this required a trench across the driveway too then above ground into the garage. 2 new outlets added $100 to the cost of $750, making the total $850.

I've hired these guys a few times and they've been great. The prices are really reasonable - way less than other electricians I've contacted - and the work they've done has always been good. This last time I had two outlets that weren't working. The electrician found that they were wired incorrectly and got them working very quickly.

It went very well. Keith's crew made sure all the switches matched our upgraded switches in our remodeled rooms. They even made a special trip during the job to get the right dimmer switches with night lights. Their price for all the work they did was an excellent value. During the job, the doorbell was inadvertently disconnected and one of Keith's men came back promptly and restored it. Everything works nicely now and it's great to have the upgraded outlets and the three-way switches for the sconces.
Description of Work: Keith's crew upgraded the outlets in our 1949-vintage living room and dining room to grounded plugs and circuits. They provided the power and switches for a new set of wall sconces in the living room. They replaced the front porch light switch and the light switch in the dining room.

I delivered the pump to Gory on Keith's recommendation and they had it running properly within 24 hours at a very reasonable price. They were knowledgeable and a pleasure with which to do business.
Description of Work: We live in the hills of northeast Los Angeles and have a booster pump in order to have usable water pressure. The pump failed and I was unable to reach the company that had installed it. Having ascertained that the pump turned freely, I surmised that the problem was an electrical one. I called Johnson Electric and explained my problem to Keith, the owner. He told me that he did not do motor repairs, but referred me to Gory Electric which is also local and they had my pump back in operation in less than 24 hours. I really appreciate Keith's recommendation.
