The Verdict

United Electric will show up, fix your problem, and charge you less than you expected. One homeowner called in the morning after appliance installers flagged dangerous wiring, and Jesus arrived by 10 a.m. the same day, installed a code-compliant junction box, patched the old holes, and returned the next day to test the circuit at no charge. We found 64 mentions of workmanship quality with zero complaints. Across panel upgrades, EV charger installs, and emergency repairs, reviewers describe clean conduit runs, labeled breakers, and zero follow-up issues. The pricing consistently beat competing bids, sometimes by enough that multiple customers called it out by name. One cautionary note: scheduling can stretch if you catch them during a busy stretch (one reviewer waited longer than the original estimate, though the work itself met expectations). The trade-off is a licensed electrician who'll troubleshoot a botched solar install in under two hours or trench new conduit for a panel upgrade without cutting corners.

If you need an electrician who'll respond the same day, finish the job without creating new problems, and quote a price that won't make you wince, United Electric is a safe bet. Just confirm timing upfront if you're on a tight deadline.

3 Stories That Stood Out

1. Sy N.
Yelp | Aug 20, 2022 |

Sy N. found himself with a new wall oven but no installer willing to fit it after they flagged the existing wiring as a fire hazard. He realized the oven whip needed to be attached to a metal electrical box and called United Electric that morning. Jesus replied by text almost immediately, offered a reasonable estimate, and agreed to come at 10 a.m. the same day; he even messaged while en route and arrived early. He installed the correct metal box, tied in the oven whip, patched the old holes from the previous box, and left the worksite clean and professional. The next day Sy texted to ask if the circuit could be tested; Jesus returned, ran the tests, and didn’t charge for the follow-up visit. What stuck with Sy was the rapid same-day response combined with the neat workmanship and a complimentary safety check the very next day.

2. Shannon D.
Yelp | Jul 19, 2023 |

Shannon D. discovered that a recent solar installation had been wired incorrectly and left her single-family home without power. She called United Electric, and they showed up within a couple of hours, restored service, and carefully traced the problem back to the installer’s sloppy work. United Electric documented the faults and walked her through clear, detailed explanations and evidence of the substandard wiring. Taken with their speed and professionalism, she plans to hire them again.

3. Dominic N.
Yelp | Oct 25, 2024 |

Dominic N. faced a major upgrade: replacing an aging Federal Pacific 100-amp panel with a new 200-amp Square D unit on his home. He shopped around, pulled at least ten quotes, and chose United Electric because their price matched the level of experience and communication he wanted. Jesus handled the heavy lifting — trenching new conduit, repairing stucco, navigating city regulations, scheduling and managing SDGE inspections, and coordinating the utility shut-off so work could proceed. Once SDGE approved, Jesus moved quickly, labeled every breaker where the old panel had none, and left the panel and yard spotless, clearly going beyond the basic install. Months later he called Jesus back to run conduit for a dedicated microwave circuit and add an outdoor outlet; the job finished on time and, again, required no cleanup afterward. He plans to use Jesus for future electrical needs; what stuck with him most was the thorough coordination with SDGE and the neat, clearly labeled final panel.

What You Can Expect

01

1. Chris P.
Yelp | Sep 23, 2025 |

Chris needed a 14-50 plug to charge his EV and reached out for a quote. Jesus answered extremely quickly, and he and Octavio showed up the next day to install the outlet. The pair completed the work fast and cleanly, exactly as Chris had described over the phone, and they charged the same price they quoted. He ended up with a reliable, properly installed 14-50 outlet and plans to call them again for other electrical work — the quick response and price consistency were what stood out.

3. D J.
Yelp | Aug 23, 2024 |

D J. reached out to have an electric car plug installed and found Jesus immediately responsive. They got a clear estimate quickly, and Jesus completed the installation within a week for a very reasonable price. What stood out was the fast turnaround from estimate to finished work — a simple, affordable job done without hassle.

02

1. Brian A.
Yelp | Mar 13, 2024 |

Brian A. had an issue with his solar system, and a technician named Jesus arrived quickly. He diagnosed the problem on the spot and completed the repair during that same visit, so there was no need for follow-up appointments — the quick arrival and one-visit fix were the memorable parts of the experience.

2. Shannon D.
Yelp | Jul 19, 2023 |

Shannon D. discovered that a recent solar installation had been wired incorrectly and left her single-family home without power. She called United Electric, and they showed up within a couple of hours, restored service, and carefully traced the problem back to the installer’s sloppy work. United Electric documented the faults and walked her through clear, detailed explanations and evidence of the substandard wiring. Taken with their speed and professionalism, she plans to hire them again.

3. Bob C.
Yelp | Dec 26, 2023 |

Bob needed a 240V outlet to run a portable Level 2 charger for a used EV and shopped around, contacting six electricians and having three come out to inspect and quote. All three looked competent and their prices were reasonable, but Jesus from United Electric stood out. He inspired confidence from the first visit, worked cleanly and professionally, and offered a very competitive price. The install took only a couple of hours and delivered exactly what Bob needed. He plans to hire Jesus for every future electrical project — the combination of trustworthiness, quick turnaround, and fair cost is what stuck with him.

03

1. Lisa B.
Yelp | Nov 2, 2023 |

Lisa called the company to have the circuit breakers on her home's electrical panel replaced. She met Julian, the electrician, who worked quickly and efficiently and completed the job without any fuss. She found the price very reasonable, and he steered clear of upsells or gimmicky pitches—just straightforward, competent work. What mattered most was that his calm, no-pressure approach eased the anxiety she came in with; she felt he deserved more stars for making a stressful task feel simple.

2. Serge N.
Yelp | Oct 22, 2023 |

Serge needed an EV charger installed at his home and hired Jesus and his partner to handle the work. He found the team professional from start to finish: communications were prompt, the price undercut other quotes, and scheduling proved unexpectedly easy — Jesus was available on fairly short notice while others were quoting 1–2 week waits. The detail that stuck with him most was the integrity of the install: Jesus didn’t try to lowball with cheap, potentially non‑compliant parts but used proper materials that meet regulations. He ended up with a clean, code‑compliant installation and plans to hire the same company for any future electrical projects, remembering the combination of quick availability and no-corner-cutting workmanship.

3. Robert S.
Yelp | Aug 25, 2023 |

Robert discovered two outlets weren’t working after a previous electrical contractor had bungled the job on his home. Jesus diagnosed the fault quickly, repaired it, and charged a very reasonable price. He walked away with both outlets functioning and the clear impression that the speed of the diagnosis and the modest repair bill made the experience worth it.
