Description of Work: The job was very challenging: hanging a very heavy light fixture from a 20 foot ceiling directly under a clay tile roof with no space. The second job was installing 3 can lights over a counter with lots of interfering duct work. I expected major holes in the drywall everywhere, but through careful planning and creative but slight modifications in some of the fixture locations, they managed to install everything with NO DAMAGE at all! Plus they cleverly consolidated all the controls into a single 3 bank switch. I am more than pleased with the result. Also, they were impeccably polite and punctual. OF COURSE I intend to use them for all my future electrical needs. Thank you, Angie's List, for helping me find these guys!

Description of Work: Had a gremlin in my electrical system. They seemed to fix it and things would work for a while, and then the problem would re-manifest itself. They would come out and chase down additional issues and fix. This happened about 3x but they fixed the problem and were very reasonable in the charges.

Description of Work: Eli came out to quote me on a Electrical Panel upgrade. Not only was he HALF what some other guys quoted, he also took the time to call DWP for me to clarify something that ended up saving me $500. This was above and beyond his job. His ethics are admirable and I really appreciated his honesty!!! His crew was very thorough and made sure I was completely satisfied with their work.

We had Ambient redo some landscape lighting that had fallen into disrepair do to time, kids, local wildlife, etc. The house The work amounted to replacing a two large tree spotlights and six smaller tree spotlights, as well as fixing four pilaster walkway lights. The owner Eli gave us an estimate that was reasonable and clear. He performed the work on time and right on the estimate. During the process, Eli suggested ways we could save a little money on the job by giving us some alternatives for the replacement lights. Since the pilaster lights can run upwards of $500 each, the advice was certainly valuable and saved $$$. We also had Eli come back and replace a porch light where the exact original would have cost $300+ just for the light. He found a new light that was almost an exact match (you really have to stare for a while to see the difference) for $100, and it looks perfect. We will have Ambient come back any time we need electrical work on the house.

I called Eli, explained that my doorbell was not working, and we set-up an appointment for him to troubleshoot/repair. On the day of the appointment before he arrived, Eli called to confirm. He showed up on-time and went to work. Eli quickly diagnosed the problem as being a broken transformer, made the necessary replacement, and got the doorbell working again. Overall, I was satisfied with Ambient Electric from the first call thru work completion.

Went great overall. Eli and his associate arrived on time. He explained that they may have to cut a hole in the wall if they can't get the wires through. He went above an beyond and succeeded in getting the wires through without cutting a hole. They cleaned up after themselves, they even moved some of the items in order to prevent them from getting dirty. Both gentlemen were professional, courteous and friendly. The work they performed was of high quality. I will definitely hire them again!

They came out to give us the estimate for free. The service man was very knowledgable and kind. He was helpful and straightforward and honest. I think he would of done a great job if we would of gone with him. We didn't use him because we already had a contractor. We would consider him in the future however.

I called in Ambient Electric to replace all of the outlets and light switches in my kitchen after my tile guys gunked up the original ones. Eli stopped by to work up the estimate one morning, and while he was there I bombarded him with lots of electrical related issues that were discovered during my pre-purchase inspection (we just bought the house a few months earlier.) He graciously and honestly answered all of them for me, which definitely gave them a 'big thumbs' up in my book. On the day of the job, the crew showed up exactly on time, and were very professional. We chatted while they were performing the work, and they are all super-friendly. The original specified job was done in a lot less than the minimum billed time, so I asked if they could help me with a the installation of a new light timer I already had, and they were more than happy to take care of it. As soon as they finished up, they went over the entire work area and cleaned it up perfectly. Can't wait to work with Ambient Electric again!

We've been using Ambient Electric for years for all of our electrical needs and have recommended them to all of our friends. We decided to install some new LED lighting in our living room and kitchen. As always, Eli was very knowledge about the product, had very competitive pricing, gave us different options to choose from and executed the job perfectly. They have always showed up on time and did a wonderful job. We were very happy with the fished product. I highly recommend this company!

Eli with AMBIENT ELECTRIC is one of the most professional and experienced electricians I've ever worked with. He came out and assessed the work that needed to be done and took some photos so he could reference those. Eli checked out both issues and that same day e-mailed me a quote. He came out and it was pretty hot that day, Eli and his crew got to work right away. He installed all the security lights around my house and ran all the wiring in the attic so that everything was concealed. He also fixed and replaced all of the outlets that were not working properly. Everything is working fine and looking great! I've worked with Eli several times and he is the absolute best and total professional. He dose things right and you can just tell by watching him and his crew work that he knows his stuff. Eli with AMBIENT ELECTRIC is the ONLY ONE I will ever call. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE

We decided to remodel out kitchen and add some landscape lighting to our yard. After taking quite a few bids from many different companies and being extremely frustrated with all of the different contractors that we encountered, we finally came across Ambient Electric. They were by far the best Electric Company that we have ever come across! Hands down! Always on time for every appointment, extremely professional and courteous. There level of knowledge and expertise was amazing. And on top of all of that, they had the most competitive bid, so naturally we hired them. This was not the first time that we remodeled our home but certainly the smoothes by far. Every detail of the work that they did was flawless. it was evident right away that they're whole crew took allot of pride in what they did. They helped us design our yard lighting and after they installed it our home is the most beautiful on the street a night. They finished they project ahead of schedule and at the agreed upon price and everything turned out amazing! I didn't think that there were electric companies out there like Ambient Electric. We have since referred them to many of out friend and family. We will definitely use them for any and all of our future electrical needs. Thank you Ambient Electric!
