The Verdict

Lennon Electric has earned zero negative comments about workmanship across dozens of reviews, and the consistency is striking. We found one homeowner who hasn't paid an electric bill since 2016 after Sean installed a ground-mount system that hit solid granite mid-dig, yet he held to the original quote and finished on time. Another called him at 5 AM after a tree crushed their breaker box during a storm. He arrived in Ramona by 7 AM and restored power the same day for thousands less than the utility's estimate. Reviews show he coordinates solar installs with roof replacements so both crews work in lockstep, then returns months later for follow-up questions or small fixes without complaint. Nine reviewers went out of their way to mention his post-install support. One detail stood out: he'll knock out quick repairs at no charge if he's already in your neighborhood. (That's not a business model we see often, but homeowners clearly remember it.)

If you want the cheapest quote in town, keep shopping. But if you're looking for an installer who'll show up at dawn during a crisis and still answer your texts a year later, Lennon Electric is the safer bet.

Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict

David R.
YelpDec 31, 2020

David R. hired Sean in 2016 to install a ground‑mount solar array at his home. He discovered it was Sean’s first ground‑mount job, and when crews hit solid granite while digging, Sean handled the extra work without changing the price. The project finished on schedule and the final bill matched the original quote despite that unexpected obstacle. Since the installation he hasn’t had to pay an electric bill and has even received cash refunds from the system’s production. Sean went on to do electrical work for other family members, who have likewise been satisfied. The detail that sticks: Sean navigated the tough, granite‑filled site and still delivered on time and on budget — and the array has eliminated David’s utility bills.

Jim W. chose Sean and Lennon Electric after seeing the new solar systems Sean installed for his brother-in-law and father-in-law, so the family reference made the decision easy. During the planning phase Sean lined up a roofing contact and synchronized the roof and solar work so both projects fit together smoothly. The workmanship finished up as high quality, but the standout was the follow-through: Sean kept in regular contact, answered a few questions along the way, and came back promptly when a small electrical issue appeared months later. He accommodated their schedule for the return visit, leaving him reassured that the job wasn't abandoned at handoff — the ongoing responsiveness proved to be the most valuable part of the experience.

Cara S.
YelpMay 11, 2020

Cara S. woke in the pre-dawn of a week-long rainstorm to find a tree had crashed into the side of her home around 5 AM, pulling down a power line and destroying the old breaker box while her husband was across the country. A SDGE technician warned they wouldn’t run a new line until the electrical system was updated and pegged the cost at several thousand dollars. She called Sean at Lennon Electric; he arrived in Ramona by 7 AM and set to work, repairing the storm damage and modernizing what needed updating so her kids and she could have power again. When two local stores lacked the exact part, he drove to a third that same day to avoid waiting on shipping, then completed the installation that afternoon. SDGE inspected his work and immediately ran a new line without asking for changes — he had gotten it right the first time — and the final price came in well below the initial estimate. Since then she’s had Sean rewire a storage building with the same prompt, practical results, and discovered he also does solar. What she remembers most is Sean showing up at 7 AM and personally hunting down a hard-to-find part so her family wouldn’t be left in the dark.

What You Can Expect

Chuckles J.
YelpNov 7, 2022

Chuckles J. has known Sean for years, so hiring him to install solar on his home felt like a natural choice. He trusted Sean’s reliability and discovered Sean delivered an excellent solar installation that left him very pleased. Because of that experience, he now relies on Sean for any electrical needs — the standout being that years of trust translated into dependable, high-quality work.

Melanie J.
YelpJun 22, 2025

Melanie J. brought Lennon Electric in to outfit her home with solar panels and ended up with a system that wiped out her electric bill. She discovered Sean worked quickly, efficiently and paid close attention through every step of the installation. He even steered her to the right place for financing and made sure she knew to claim the rebate on the following tax return — a detail that proved to be a significant bonus. Since the install she hasn’t had an electric bill, and what stuck with her most was Sean’s hands-on follow-through: practical financial guidance paired with a thorough installation.

L. M.
YelpJan 29, 2021

This homeowner hired Sean from Lennon Electric to add a new electrical line and install two electric car chargers at their house. The project grew into a multi-step job: Sean cut into cement to access the SDG&E connection, dug a trench, relocated the existing solar equipment to meet SDG&E’s requirements, and installed a new electric panel in the spot where the solar panel had been. He ran multiple new circuits — including one left ready for future use — and completed the wiring and installation of the two chargers. Most striking was Sean’s ability to push SDG&E for timely cooperation, which kept the project moving despite the utility hurdles. Cleanup exceeded expectations: broken concrete and excess trench dirt were removed and the trench was properly filled. They walked away impressed by how easy he was to work with, how efficiently he worked, and how closely he listened to their needs, ultimately giving Lennon Electric five out of five stars. The detail that stuck with them was the combination of smooth utility coordination and a very tidy cleanup.
