Pacific View Electric reviews

The Verdict
Pacific View Electric is the rare contractor we'd hire without hesitation. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found zero complaints about workmanship or follow-up, a pattern that held across electrical repairs, ceiling fan installs, and full solar projects. One homeowner discovered weeks after installation that the grounding spike for their new panels had, by terrible luck, pierced the main drain line. They called Cesar, the owner, and he sent someone immediately, no runaround, no finger-pointing. That's the company in miniature. Eighteen reviewers singled out the quality of the finished work, and 14 praised post-sale support without a single negative mention in either category. Speed stands out too. One solar customer noted the big companies quoted six to eight weeks for install, Pacific View finished the job one day after permits cleared. The team routinely shows up on time, communicates clearly, and cleans up thoroughly. If you want an electrician who treats a random freeway flat tire like an emergency service call (yes, that happened), this is your crew.
If you're weighing a solar quote from a national installer, Pacific View Electric will likely finish weeks faster and pick up the phone when something goes sideways a month later. Worth calling for a bid.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Giovani P. has relied on Pacific View Electric for years, making them his first call for any electrical repair around his home. When an urgent problem arose recently, Cesar showed up quickly, diagnosed the fault, explained what was wrong in plain terms, and fixed it — preventing what would have become a serious catastrophe. He highlights their prompt, top‑notch customer service and consistently high quality of work. The detail that stands out is the quick diagnosis-and-fix that averted major damage — the very reason he keeps turning to them.
Charlett K. gave the company five stars and wished she could give six after an unexpected morning on the freeway. She ended up with a flat tire while traveling with her eight-year-old autistic daughter, who was struggling to understand what was happening. Cesar, on his way to work, pulled over without hesitation and took charge — changed the tire, calmly explained each step to her (she hadn’t changed a flat in 45 years) and patiently helped her daughter make sense of the situation. What stood out was how the company’s service showed up through one person’s kindness: she left with a working spare, a clear lesson about how the process works, and the memory of someone going out of his way to help in a stressful moment.
Garry S. chose Pacific View Electric for a rooftop solar installation after interviewing the big national firms and following a friend's recommendation—he prefers to give business to smaller, local outfits. He prioritized speed: the large companies were booking six to eight weeks out, but Cesar, the owner, promised installation a few days after city permit approval. In summer 2019 the city took roughly 20 days to approve permits, and the crew showed up right after that and finished the whole install in a single day. They worked quickly and cleanly, left the site tidy, and handled communications and pricing in a straightforward, no-nonsense way. Garry compared online reputations, noticed the large providers carried many negative Yelp reviews, and was struck that Pacific View had essentially no bad reviews—a detail he treated as the company's gold standard. A couple of weeks after the panels went up, a highly unlikely plumbing issue turned up: a ground spike from the solar work had accidentally pierced the house’s main drain. It was a “one-in-a-thousand” problem, but Cesar answered the call and had someone out immediately, bypassing the bureaucracy Garry expected from a larger firm.

Sara chose the company for a residential solar installation and discovered the consultation set the tone. Cesar walked her through every option, laying out pros and cons in a clear, practical way that helped her land on the right system for her home. The crew completed the installation quickly, left the property tidy, and the workmanship is immediately noticeable. From the initial meeting to the final cleanup, customer service stayed consistent and attentive, and she plans to call them again for future needs because of that clear guidance and clean, high-quality installation.
Itamar hired Cesar and his team to install an at-home EV charger after shopping multiple quotes. He found them extremely professional, patient, and thorough from first contact through the finished install. A chronic over-thinker, he peppered Cesar with roughly a hundred questions, and Cesar kept educating him calmly and without frustration. Cesar also delivered the most competitive price compared with the other bids Itamar received, and completed quality work that left him with real peace of mind. The thing that stuck with him was the rare combination of technical knowledge, integrity, and persistent patience — plus the best quote — which made the whole process feel unquestionably worthwhile.
