The Verdict

Champion Electric earned consistent praise for professional residential work, but two customer complaints about staff behavior stand out. One reviewer watched a company truck tailgate others on the freeway and nearly cause accidents. Another photographed employees parking in three handicap spots to grab ice cream. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found workmanship scores near perfect (4.8/5, with 30 positive mentions and only 2 negatives), yet these conduct issues suggest inconsistent standards off the jobsite. On electrical quality itself, the record is strong. One customer hired them for a solar design after years of shopping around, saying no other contractor could solve the layout puzzle for their roof. Another praised their fix of an OSHA-cited machine, noting the technician checked back multiple times and watched the equipment run to confirm the safety sensors worked. If professionalism behind the wheel and in parking lots mattered less to you than the wiring in your walls, their technical skill would justify a call. But you deserve a crew that represents the company well everywhere, not just when the invoice is due.

If you value craftsmanship above all else, Champion Electric's workmanship record is nearly spotless. But if you expect professional conduct beyond the job site (courteous driving, basic parking etiquette), proceed with caution. Their technical skills are proven. Their judgment in public isn't always.

Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict

Ruben Vargas
GoogleNov 13, 2024

Ruben warned the company after spotting one of its drivers tailgating on the freeway — he identified the vehicle as 89704W2 and said it nearly caused several accidents. He called the driving unsafe and argued that the person shouldn’t be on the road. Worried that poor road behavior might reflect on the business, he urged the company to address the issue and hoped their installation quality wouldn’t match the driving quality.

Rob M.

Rob M. had hired Champion Electric for years for jobs like court lighting and fountain wiring and repair, so when he finally decided to tackle solar after a long search he called them right away. After other companies failed to produce a workable plan for his particular house, Champion’s crew designed and installed a system that fit the roof and layout exactly the way he needed. The result: his home no longer depends on the power company. Beyond the solar build, he found Champion’s teams consistently prompt and professional, handling electrical work big and small with workmanship that showed. The detail that stuck with him was simple but rare—Champion solved a design problem every other installer walked away from and delivered a system that actually cut the cord to the utility.

Cindy Rowland

Cindy faced an OSHA visit at Lumar Metals in Pomona, CA on July 2, 2015 that flagged one of the shop machines because its safety sensors weren’t operating correctly. She called Champion Electric and Evan answered the SOS, arriving on July 6 to diagnose and correct the safety issue; he ordered a replacement part for the older machine but got the sensors functioning safely in the meantime. While the part was en route, he kept her updated about timing, then returned on July 11 to install the part and stayed to watch the machine run and confirm the repair held. What stood out for her was the quick response and the follow-through — the ongoing communication during the parts delay and the decision to observe the machine after installation — and she plans to call Champion Electric again for any future electrical work.

What You Can Expect

Luis B.
YelpMar 1, 2018

Luis B. relied on Champion Electric for all electrical work at his home and business over a five-year stretch. He usually calls out poor service, so discovering a company that consistently delivered professional, knowledgeable work felt like the reverse of his usual experience. Brig and Arron became the reason he kept returning: their deep technical know-how and steady professionalism produced outstanding results in both settings. As a business owner who recognizes the value of excellent employees, he gave Champion Electric his highest recommendation and regularly keeps their business cards to hand out to family and friends.

Diane P. hired the team for a recessed lighting project and walked through layout options with Johnathan, who helped her decide the best approach. Damian handled the installation, placing each recessed light with careful precision and keeping the work area very tidy. She found both men to be unusually personable and professional. Pleased with the result, she’s already scheduled them for another project.

Alicia P. hired Champion Electric for two separate jobs — one in the backyard and one inside the house — and ended up making them her go-to for electrical work. She found their crews delivered professional, high-quality work quickly and efficiently. In the living space they installed new overhead lighting and a giant ceiling fan, a transformation handled by Damian, who came across as professional, kind, and thorough. She appreciated how smoothly both projects finished and plans to call Champion Electric for any future electrical needs, remembering Damian’s careful, friendly workmanship and the noticeable upgrade to her living room.
