Precision Electric's track record is erratic in ways that should give you pause. One homeowner watched them abandon a residential project mid-job, leaving their toolbox behind and loose wire nuts in every box. Another paid $750 for two hours after technicians couldn't diagnose a problem until the homeowner himself directed them to a faulty fixture. We found 14 mentions of solid workmanship when jobs went well, but 5 reviews describe post-sale support breakdowns: unanswered calls, projects left unfinished, even a disputed lien filed without a signed contract. The company scores well on sales conduct (9 positive mentions, zero negative), yet several customers report spending days on hold or never hearing back after the initial appointment. If you need a simple service call and can verify references from recent similar jobs, they may deliver. But if your project involves multiple visits or any complexity, the inconsistency in follow-through is a red flag you can't ignore.
If you're hiring for a straightforward one-visit repair and can lock in a firm quote upfront, Precision Electric may get it done. But if your job requires coordination across multiple appointments or any troubleshooting beyond the obvious, look elsewhere—the pattern of abandoned projects and silent follow-up is too risky.
Mike R., a local electrician with more than 30 years on the tools, stepped in to finish a large residential build after the solar company walked off the job once the house had been rough-wired. He discovered they left a job box full of supplies behind and only partially completed the rough-in. When he dug into the wiring, he found the layout confusing, the workmanship inside the junction boxes poor, and several wire nuts loose — the kind of shortcuts that stand out to a seasoned electrician. The company’s polished website made the job look professional, but his on-site experience painted a different picture. His bottom line: don’t hire them to do the electrical rough-in on a new home — the abandoned, half-finished work and sloppy box connections are the details that stick with him.
Nancy had trouble getting an appointment, and when the first technician arrived he couldn't diagnose the problem. A week later a second technician returned and, at her husband's direction, removed a faulty exterior light. The company billed $750 for roughly two hours of work, and she felt that charge was excessive. The visit ended with the light gone but a lingering impression that the bill didn't align with the service provided.
Melissa A. brought the company in through Dyocor to do the electrical work on the wind turbines at her property. In under two days she had to fire the crew after discovering they were wiring things incorrectly. After the dismissal the company filed a lien on her house even though no contract existed, and then stopped returning phone calls, emails and a certified letter. The clearest takeaway: they lodged a lien without a contract and went silent when asked to explain — a red flag for anyone considering their services.

Bradford Colwell arranged to have a whole-house fan installed and found the whole process refreshingly straightforward. Scheduling went smoothly and communication stayed consistent, and the crew showed up on time both for the estimate and for the installation day. Technicians walked him through the proposed work and carefully explained the reasoning behind the recommended fan size rather than just naming a model. After the install they cleaned up the site and demonstrated how to operate the fan so he could use it confidently from day one. He ended up very happy with the upgrade and expects to tell friends and family that Precision Electric stood out for punctuality, clear explanations, and a hands-on handoff.
Anjali R. hired the company for a home solar install and found the process refreshingly straightforward: the team responded quickly and provided a quote upfront. She appreciated that the technicians arrived polite and respectful, slipped on protective booties before coming into the residence, and worked efficiently. Communication remained clear throughout, with timely updates and explanations as the job progressed. The installation wrapped up fast and with solid workmanship. The detail that stuck with her was the crew’s combination of speed and care—protecting the home while getting the work done—made the whole experience feel effortless.
Mike G. needed hard-wired smoke detectors and other electrical work at his South Park residence and found a company whose free quote matched the final price. He watched the front office and the field technician coordinate closely, which kept the job prompt, efficient, and well organized. The tech installed the hard-wired smoke detectors with solid workmanship, and the whole project stayed on budget. He plans to call them again for future electrical needs.
Brian G. compared several solar installers and found this company's prices stood out as especially competitive. From the first call through completion he experienced consistently attentive customer service. Their electrician, Mike, came out to the house, acted professionally and even went beyond the job by fixing a minor electrical issue on the spot. He plans to hire them again and pass their name along to family and friends — the on-site fix by Mike being the detail that stuck with him.
Mike P. began the home-improvement headache of shopping for solar and methodically visited seven different companies to collect seven quotes. He discovered Percision Electric offered the best overall value and ended up choosing them for the job. The team handled the project professionally: Greg, the owner, came across as a stand-up person; Aram, the manager, patiently answered every one of his many questions; and Mike, the installer, went above and beyond to make sure every detail left him satisfied. What stood out most was that after comparison-shopping so thoroughly, the lower price came with real follow-through from the crew rather than cutting corners. His takeaway is simple and specific — starting with Percision can save the time and stress of chasing quotes because their bid matched both budget and dependable workmanship.

Alvin A. shopped around for a residential solar system and discovered Precision Electric Solar stood out because their team spoke with confidence and made the whole process easy to follow. He walked through every detail — the quote, where panels would be placed, how the installation would proceed, and what future upgrades could look like — and had every question answered until he felt comfortable with the price and plan. The installers arrived friendly and professional, and the combination of a competitive price and clear, patient explanations is what set the experience apart. He ended up with the system installed by Jose Espindola, Daniel Johnson, Will Turner and Brandon Abell, and remembers the team’s thoroughness and upbeat service as the thing that made the difference.
This homeowner discovered half the house dark after a blown fuse and needed a fast, reliable repair. After a friend sent a number, an initial electrician showed up, charged nearly $500 for an hour and a half, and still couldn't fix the problem — which pushed them to try a different recommendation. They remembered Precision Electric Company in El Cajon, called, and within a couple of hours a seasoned electrician arrived, diagnosed the issue immediately, and repaired it in very short order. When the tech handed over the bill, they expected a much higher price and were surprised at how reasonable it was. Between the polished, helpful office staff and the competent crew in the field, they walked away relieved and confident that Precision will be the go-to for any future electrical needs — the quick, effective repair and fair invoice are what stuck with them most.
Nancy C. waited a long time to get an appointment to have an electrical problem checked. The first technician who arrived couldn't identify the cause; a week later a different tech came and, after her husband pointed him toward it, discovered and removed a faulty fixture. The company billed $750 for about two hours of work, and she felt that price was excessive — the $750 charge for two hours, after her husband had effectively pointed out the issue, is what she remembers most.
