A-lite Electric Systems

REVIEW: A-Lite Install of Security Camera System We had a 4K Five Camera Lorex Security System installed on the outside of our one-story house. In addition to the exterior cameras, the system included a NVR which provided the capability to store the data locally and to view the camera outputs on our 4k TV as the display, and over the internet on our mobile phones, as well as store the data locally on a 2TB recorder. A-lite Electric did the installation. At the start before receiving the bid, a Tech came out to carefully look over the house, including: the location of the cameras, the attic in which the cables would be run and the in-house location of the NVR and display. During our discussion I mentioned an area inside the attic which was difficult to traverse because of the location of a fragile heating duct. He determined that it would not be a problem. Two techs did the installation. They were knowledgeable, careful, helpful, and through. To insure waterproofing, they secured the cameras beneath the eaves, applying caulk to the camera base where it attached to the rough exterior stucco walls and to where the cables passed through the outer house walls. In the interior, they ran the many cables required through a cord cover kit that looks like it was part of the house and is hardly noticeable. Cables were also run through the attic from the NVR to the TV and so that the system could be set up, viewed and controlled from that location--all holes were caulked The techs helped to adjust the cameras to cover the desired areas and the system as displayed on the TV worked beautifully covering the desired exterior areas. We couldnâ  t be happier with the installation by the techs from A-lite, and the resulting performance of the security system.

He arrived on time. We went over the work to be done. He offered me a choice of outdoor plug-in units and explained the difference between them. And he was extremely efficient!

I'm glad to have the pendant repaired.

Arrived promptly and did a great job with both my interior and exterior non-functional lights. Will hire them to do more exterior installations.

Had a little trouble pinning down the time they would show up but once here he was very persistent in finding a solution to my request for a new plug outlet. Said he would email a bill (after I wrote a check) but never did. A little bummed about that part. Overall I’d definitely recommend as the actual service was outstanding.

They came out within a few hours on the day that I called. The 2 guys were prompt and friendly and thoroughly worked out my problem in a very short time. I'd call them again.

Jeff was easy to work with as was the gentleman that came out to do the job. They were both very flexible and worked very efficiently. Great value and great service. Highly recommend.

Worked quickly, and left the area neat and clean. Very polite pleasant workmen. Solved my difficult doorbell problem.

Joe did a great job

Quick efficient trouble shooting , problem solved in timely manner. Pricing reasonable for the Santa Barbara CA area . Would hire again and recommend to others.

david was very likable and easy to work with. he did the work efficiently and thorough

Excellent job. Completed efficiently and professionally.

David was great and was able to make all repairs in a timely manner. We will have him come back for additional work. UPDATE 6/23/2020: During the first 2 visits, David did a good job on the projects I had him work out. As a result, I left a good review. How quickly things can change. With that said, I am incredibly dissatisfied with the fact he never returned to finish installing the bathroom fan as promised. He started the installation/replacement on April 27, 2020, and it is now June 19, 2020. When he left on April 27th, he promised me he would return the following week to complete with the bathroom fan. He was going to get a part he needed and return, so I paid 100% for everything...trusting he would return as promised. He has called me on a few Sunday evenings apologizing that he has not completed the job, and again promised both times he would come by that week...and still nothing. It has been nearly 8 weeks since he was here, and we have had to deal with no fan in our bathroom, which is likely causing moisture issues...and we all know what that can lead to. David and A-Lite management, at the very least you need to either come to finish what you started or refund my payment for the fan installation and I will hire another electrician.

Dave was very courteous and did a great job.

Very quick response. Found the problem quickly, but also checked several other things as the first visit was a flat fee. (Good part was that the repair person didn't even chuckle when he identified a dumb error I had made! Well, perhaps he did set go with a very small smile!!)

I am waiting for said electrician to return and install a dimmer switch as promised. He did an excellent job of creating a way to save the fixture from needing a whole new fixture. I was waiting for the electrician to come and install a dimmer, and he did. Everything works great! Thank you A-Lite!

Very fast in answering our request. Good solution proposed to fix our problem. Thank you A lite we recommend your company :-)

Very conscious of the cost to budget.

I used them twice and they got everything fixed efficiently. Santa Barbara is a tough place to find quality electricians so I was grateful to have found A-lite.

On time, evaluated problem and fixed it

Steve, the electrician that came to our house, was great ,efficient , friendly and knowledgeable. The Communication from the office was excellent.. great overall experience

Electrician was a pro explained everything quickly found problems and fixed Super professional and honest

He was very reasonable to deal with, pleasant and apologized. He compensated us.

Responded within 15 minutes, arrived for the project the same afternoon. Very happy with their work. Would definitely use again
