The Verdict

KP Electric does solid residential electrical work and shows up when you need them. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found that Paul, the owner, has built a reputation for fair pricing and emergency responsiveness. In one case, a homeowner called on a Saturday after an outlet sparked and melted into the wall, Paul arrived in 30 minutes instead of the promised hour and fixed both that problem and issues he spotted in the electrical panel. EV charger installations appear to be a specialty. Seven reviewers mentioned quotes that beat competitors by substantial margins, with one customer saying the price 'matched the level of craftsmanship' after a Ford Lightning charger install. The work itself holds up. We found no complaints about failed installations or callback issues. The main gap is project management on larger jobs. One panel upgrade that was quoted as three weeks stretched to three months, and the customer ended up with different breakers than discussed and missing grounding work. For quick fixes and standard installs, the track record is clean. For complex upgrades, you'll want written confirmation of scope and timeline.

If you need an EV charger installed or have an electrical emergency, KP Electric will likely beat competitor quotes and show up fast. For major panel upgrades, get detailed written specs before work starts.

3 Stories That Stood Out

1. Scott J.
Yelp | Sep 10, 2022 |

Scott’s Saturday started with a scary one: an old appliance had sparked an outlet, burned the wall around it, and left part of the plug melted inside. With his son’s very first soccer game only 90 minutes away, he went searching for an emergency electrician and, by accident, landed with KP. Paul picked up, was finishing another job, and promised he could be there within an hour. Instead, he arrived in about 30 minutes, checked the damage, uncovered a couple of other issues in the electrical panel, and fixed everything cleanly before the family had to head out the door. What stuck with Scott just as much as the fast repair was Paul himself — easily one of the nicest contractors he’d had in the house since buying it. Then came the surprise twist: while there, Paul talked solar too, and Scott learned he handled that work along with roofers he trusted. Scott had already settled on another solar-and-roof quote, but Paul looked it over and confidently offered to beat it, promising a new estimate by the end of Monday. Even if that solar bid never became the deal, the kind of fast response that kept a burned outlet from becoming a bigger problem was the sort of service Scott expected to,

2. Jeff B.
Yelp | Sep 17, 2024 |

Jeff hired Paul for an electrical panel upgrade and to have the house properly grounded, expecting a straightforward three-week project on his home. Instead, a miscommunication led to AFCI breakers being installed and the grounding work never getting finished, while the schedule kept slipping until the job dragged on for about three months.

3. Edgar G.
Yelp | Nov 7, 2022 |

Edgar needed a 14-50 NEMA plug installed for an EV charger at his home, and Paul from KP Electric handled it with the kind of attention that made the whole job feel straightforward. Before touching anything, Paul came out to inspect the electrical panel, talked through the best place for the plug, and laid out how he would approach the install. The quote came in at a fair price too, especially compared with the other electricians Edgar had checked, who were asking roughly twice as much. What stood out most was how hard Paul worked to squeeze the job into a busy calendar. He moved the appointment up after already setting a date, then finished the install quickly and left everything clean. Edgar also came away appreciating how easygoing and personable Paul was, the sort of electrician who keeps the process simple and ends up becoming the go-to person for future work.

2. Mark O.
Yelp | Sep 20, 2023 |

Mark had KP Electric install a Ford Lightning charger at his place a few weeks ago, and the standout was how quickly everything moved. He reached out for a quote and got an answer right away, then discovered their price beat the other estimates by a wide margin. A few days later, the charger was in, and he was already enjoying the simple payoff of skipping supercharging stations altogether. What stuck with him was the speed from first contact to finished install, along with a price that landed well below the competition.

3. J D.
Yelp | Sep 2, 2023 |

J D. ended up with a fast, hands-on visit from Paul after calling for a quote, and he came out the very next day to walk through the work in plain terms. What started as a Tesla home charger install turned into a full garage upgrade: new lights, an updated light fixture, new plugs, and even drywall repair with repainting to clean everything up afterward. By the time Paul was finished, the garage had gone from a simple project site to a polished, fully working space.

02

1. Brandon ..
Yelp | Jun 29, 2023 |

Brandon ran into a messy set of wiring problems left behind by the previous owner, starting with a few dead outlets that turned up the same day. Paul was able to come out that day, untangle the wiring issues, help install new fan controllers, and point him toward a few practical options for moving and rewiring some switches. The visit stood out for how quickly the electrical puzzle got sorted out, and the ability to pay by Zelle or Venmo made the whole thing even easier.

2. Shelley R.
Yelp | Jun 9, 2023 |

Shelley was right in the middle of an emergency outage on a Lakers playoff night when Paul stepped in. Within an hour of the call, he had the system back up and running, turning a tense evening into something manageable. What stood out was how calmly he explained the problem, came up with a solution, and handled the whole thing with the kind of honesty and kindness that matters when the lights go out at the worst possible moment.

3. Connor M.
Yelp | May 16, 2023 |

Connor ended up with a neatly installed EV charger and a price that felt unusually strong for the quality of the work. What stood out most was the pairing of careful craftsmanship with a quote that matched it, turning a straightforward charger job into the kind of value that makes a garage upgrade feel well worth it.

1. Jeff B.
Yelp | Sep 17, 2024 |

Jeff hired Paul for an electrical panel upgrade and to have the house properly grounded, expecting a straightforward three-week project on his home. Instead, a miscommunication led to AFCI breakers being installed and the grounding work never getting finished, while the schedule kept slipping until the job dragged on for about three months.

2. Freddie A.
Yelp | Apr 24, 2023 |

Freddie ended up dealing with a wall heater that had blown out several outlets and a switch, turning a small home problem into a messy electrical issue. Paul arrived exactly when promised, quickly traced the trouble, and got the repair done without fuss. What stood out most was how smoothly he handled the diagnosis and follow-through, with clear communication and service that left the house working again.

3. Edgar G.
Yelp | Nov 7, 2022 |

Edgar needed a 14-50 NEMA plug installed for an EV charger at his home, and Paul from KP Electric handled it with the kind of attention that made the whole job feel straightforward.
