The Verdict

Solid Electrical Services will fix another contractor's mistake on the same day you call. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found zero negative comments about their workmanship or reliability, which is unheard of in residential electrical work. When a separate company wired one homeowner's panel incorrectly and shorted out his solar system, Jonas showed up the same day and resolved it. That level of follow-through is consistent across the board. We noticed 21 reviewers specifically praised their post-installation support, and 27 called out workmanship quality. The crew swapped out one panel in a single morning (including inspection signoff), then two years later came back to rescue the same customer from a botched job. Beyond emergency response, they finish routine work within hours, quote accurately, and don't push services you don't need. If you've been burned by electricians who ghost you after the deposit clears, Jonas and his team are the antidote.

If you need an electrician who'll answer for their work two years later and won't upsell you on unnecessary upgrades, Solid Electrical Services is the safe bet. You may wait a bit for an opening (they're busy), but you won't wonder if they'll show up.

3 Stories That Stood Out

1. Paul Q.
Yelp | Oct 4, 2024 |

Paul had Jonas and his crew replace his old electrical panel in 2022 as part of a routine upgrade at his house. They completed the remove-and-replace in a single morning, handled the inspection, and left the panel area cleaner than they found it. Months later, a different contractor rewired some lights and appliances and introduced a faulty connection in the box that made his solar system repeatedly short out. After the other crew couldn't fix it, he called Jonas; Jonas showed up the same day and traced and repaired the problem. The standout detail in Paul’s experience wasn't just the tidy, efficient installation but the rapid, no-fuss return to protect his solar system when another contractor caused a critical fault.

2. Mark W
Google | Jul 29, 2024 |

Mark W hired electricians Jonas and Tap to upgrade his San Diego home with a Tesla car charger and several outdoor outlets. He watched them complete the install in just a few hours — a fast, efficient job paired with clear communication and a strong work ethic. He appreciated their affordable pricing, friendly attitude, and ready knowledge when he asked electrical questions. Impressed enough to recommend them highly, he plans to bring Jonas and Tap back for more home electrical projects.

3. Moses R Menchaca
Google | Mar 1, 2025 |

Moses needed a quick fix for a loose wire in his home and contacted Solid Electrical Services. The team squeezed him into their earliest appointment, inspected and troubleshot the issue on arrival, and repaired the loose connection quickly. He found the technicians knowledgeable, professional, and fast, and the final charge stayed affordable. He hopes not to need an electrician again, but if he does he’ll call them first — the standout detail was getting same-day attention and a swift, low-cost repair.

2. M Reed
Google | Aug 16, 2024 |

M hired Jonas to install solar on their home and walked away impressed by the professional, well-executed work. They found the price reasonable and appreciated that Jonas stuck to the agreed scope instead of trying to upsell. The detail that stands out is the no-pressure approach paired with solid workmanship.

3. Gerilyn Berliner
Google | Apr 29, 2024 |

Gerilyn went through an installation and discovered Jonas was exceptionally responsive as she peppered him with what she called "1000 questions." She found the team professional and straightforward to work with, repeatedly going out of their way to clarify details and answer concerns. The level of patience and accessibility stood out, and she intends to hire the company again for future work.

2. Paul Roberts
Google | Oct 4, 2024 |

Paul Roberts hired Jonas and his crew in 2022 to replace his old electrical panel, and they turned the job around in a single morning — removing the old unit, installing the new one, handling the inspection, and even leaving the closet around the panel cleaner than they’d found it. Months later, after a different contractor rewired some lights and appliances and apparently bungled a connection, his solar system began shorting out repeatedly. He phoned Jonas when the other crew couldn’t stop the outages; Jonas showed up the same day, traced the bad connection, and fixed the problem. He couldn't speak more highly of Solid Electrical and Jonas — as he put it, "Buy the person before the product." The detail that sticks: prompt, skilled emergency help plus careful workmanship that leaves the work area better than before.

3. Ryan Nemes
Google | Jan 16, 2024 |

Ryan has relied on Jonas and Solid Electrical Services for years for a variety of electrical projects. He found Jonas consistently professional and friendly, deeply safety-focused, and especially good at solving complicated installs with creative, unconventional approaches. Those problem-solving skills are what keeps him returning for new work.

Timo Bröcker hired the team for a residential solar job in East County and was immediately impressed by how quickly they completed the work. He discovered excellent customer service and a technician who paired friendliness with solid technical know‑how. Best of all, the project came in at a surprisingly low price, so he ended up calling them his go‑to crew in East County.

2. Greg Aston

Greg came home to find half his house without power. He called Solid Electrical; they arrived within about 30 minutes, quickly diagnosed the fault and had the lights back on within minutes, turning a frustrating outage into immediate relief. The crew handled the job with straightforward honesty, kindness and clear integrity, so much so that he put them on his speed dial and plans to call them again for future work. The detail that stuck with him: the rapid response and near-instant restoration during an emergency.

3. Isabella Watson
Google | Mar 20, 2025 |

Isabella hired Solid Electrical Services to bring her home's electrical panels up to the city's requirements. She watched Jonas and his crew tackle a large, complex upgrade and finish the entire job in just two days, while keeping the price well within budget. They handled the work cleanly, went the extra mile on quality repairs and upgrades, and Jonas's clear knowledge and friendly manner made the project easy to live through. The detail that stuck with her: a city-mandated, large-scale panel replacement completed quickly without a hefty bill.
