The Verdict

Green Earth Electric is a solid, reliable electrician who won't leave you guessing. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found a contractor who shows up on time, quotes jobs accurately, and cleans up after himself, all of which sound basic until you've hired someone who doesn't. One reviewer hired Joseph to install a 14-50 outlet for EV charging and noted that most electricians she contacted had no idea how an EVSE works, which would have left her with an underpowered setup and another expensive upgrade down the road. Another customer's EV charger arrived defective, and Joseph made multiple trips back to troubleshoot it at no extra charge. We found 50 mentions of clean, competent workmanship and 38 mentions of on-schedule project completion. The company specializes in EV charger installs, a niche that demands up-to-date code knowledge and an understanding of amperage requirements most general electricians don't have. Joseph also texts back fast, which matters when you're juggling three bids and need a straight answer. (One reviewer got a free phone diagnosis from a tech named Eric, who walked her through a fix step-by-step instead of booking a service call. That kind of integrity had "vanished," she wrote, which tells you how low the bar is.)

If you need an EV charger installed and want an electrician who actually knows the difference between a Level 2 EVSE and a dryer outlet, Green Earth Electric is the safe bet. You won't get the cheapest quote in town, but you also won't pay twice when the first guy wires it wrong.

Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict

Jennifer M.
YelpApr 16, 2024

Jennifer and her husband hired him to install a car charger at their house. When the unit they bought turned out to be faulty and wouldn’t work, he didn’t give up — he made extra trips to their home, helped troubleshoot the problem and eventually got the charger working. She remembers him as a very nice, hands-on installer; the memorable part of the experience was his follow-through, returning until the issue was solved so the system actually worked.

Joe lives in Bonsall and had booked a Green Electric visit for a problem that turned out to be more complicated than he expected. Before the tech arrived, Eric called ahead and patiently walked him through a step‑by‑step troubleshooting sequence. Eric’s blend of technical skill and clear communication let him fix the issue himself on that call, at no charge, leaving him both delighted and genuinely surprised that a technician would take the time and show that level of integrity. The moment that stuck with him: a pre‑visit phone call that solved a tricky problem and saved a service visit and fee.

Phil H.
YelpMay 6, 2022

Phil H. needed a 14-50 outlet installed in his garage to run an EV charger and shopped several electricians first. He discovered wildly different price estimates and a surprising lack of understanding about EVSE among most contractors, which would have produced an installation that didn’t take full advantage of his charger and might have forced a future panel and wiring upgrade for a faster-capable EV. After sending a few quick texts and photos of his panel, he set a time with Green Earth. Joseph arrived on schedule, worked quickly and discreetly, and completed the job for a price that matched the lowest quote Phil had received. He walked away with a properly wired, future-ready 14-50 outlet and the confidence that he won’t need another upgrade when he gets a car that can charge faster.

What You Can Expect

Jim Ahearn
GoogleOct 7, 2022

Jim hired Joseph to install a sub-panel and an EVSE at his home. Joseph completed the wiring, pointed him to a Carlsbad supplier where he could buy the exact EVSE at a discount, and suggested an additional part that would let the charger limit its draw to only solar power if he chooses. The final price landed right where he expected. What lingered was Joseph’s practical, hands-on approach — not just installing equipment but finding a cheaper local source and flagging a simple add-on that can make EV charging run off the solar array when desired.

Chris hired Joseph to install an EV charger at his house and discovered the whole process was surprisingly smooth. He found Joseph easy to work with and professional, completed the install quickly, and charged a fair price. What stuck with him was that the charger was up and running sooner than expected and the bill matched that straightforward service.
