Mr. Electric of Imperial Beach

We called Ed Ochoa with Mr. Electric after a recommendation from a friend. We are quite pleased with the service and the work. Ed moved three light fixtures for us, replaced a breaker, and moved three outlets. He was on time, courteous and professional. We wouldn’t hesitate to use him again on the future!

On Aug 17, 2015 I hired Edward Ochoa to conduct a service upgrade on my circuit breaker panel. I specifically made it clear that I wanted a city permit and for the job to be documented and recorded through the city. He did open a job through SDGE, however he never obtained a city permit! Basically, he disconnected the city wires leading to my house without permission! Be aware that only SDGE is allowed to make that disconnect and connection. When he was finished installing the new panel, he went missing. After trying to contact him via phone and text, he finally replied stating that he was sorry and that he had put me in the back burners! Sadly to say, he never attempted to complete the job and make things right. I had to go to the city and pay $ 238 for a permit after he was trying to charge me $ 500! I finally got the permit and had the city inspector come look at Edward Ochoa’s work. The inspector found a discrepancy, apparently a breaker switch needs to be replace because it’s not up to standard. So now I have to hire another electrician to fix and finish what Ochoa failed to do correct. If you are looking for an electrician to cuts corners and disregards safety and procedures, then Ochoa is your guy. Now I’m dealing with the headaches of finishing this job and getting it administratively documented correctly through the city. I spent $ 1500 for POOR service.
I already filed a complaint with the Contractors State Licensing Board. And in regards to their response below, they claim to follow protocol, if that’s the case then why didn’t Ochoa follow protocol at the very beginning and get a city permit and assured it passed inspection? I paid $ 1500 to get a breaker panel installed WITH city permit. No need to respond… Keep your sarcastic «thank you»! TO ALL, BE AWARE OF THIS PLACE! THEY CUT CORNERS! Thanks for finally responding 5 months later!

I just bought my first home, knowing the major repair was replacing an ancient Zinsco Electrical Panel (total fire hazard, decades old), and I found these guys through Amazon Home Service Requests. They responded with one of the lower estimates, so I called them out to check out my panel. I had a few electricians give me estimates, most made me feel like my whole house was screwed. Eddie and his team were super friendly and addressed the panel while also giving me tips about other cable/​phone line issues I had, and seemed to appreciate my old house the way I do.
The panel looks great, and everything has been working perfectly. They worked hard to get it done in just 2 days, coordinated the permits and city inspection, and cleaned everything up when they left. Couldn’t ask for more!

Simply… Te Best electrical contractor!
Regina –with her very pleasant and friendly voice– took my order, scheduled the service man. Andy, the technician, was very professional, knowledgeable, efficient. My problem was solved fast and at a very reasonable price. Te next day, Regina grave us a follow up call. Two thumbs up, way up for their service!!!

Honest business means good business and a blessed business. You can’t lose with Mr Electric! I had a serious problem with my electric box and Andy came to the rescue saved our house from catching fire. No BS no lies and no run around he told me what my options were and what needed to be done and fixed the problem with no problems afterwards. I will definitely come back to them for any other electric work I need in the future.

Every time that I get a good service or positive experience at any business, I like to give either a good tip or a recommendation through the Internet or word to mouth. here is our experience with Mr. Ochoa and his employees.
My wife and I were thinking on remodeling her business. We got a recommendation from our contractor to see Eddie Ochoa for the electrical work. He helped us with the overall layout and gave us recommendations on what to correct and add to the building. The price was great, and we obtained the city permit to proceed.
Alex works with him, he is very professional and knowledgeable. Every time that we had questions, Alex was there to help with a smile and with a great attitude. you can tell immediately if someone gets irritated when you interrupt his work. not the case with Alex at all! There was another guy working with them that I don’t remember his name, but they worked fast and made changes as needed (better image as well as proper installation).
In summary. yes highly recommended!
Thank you,
Jerry

OCHOA ELECTRIC
IS A TOP NOTCH COMPANY! Very Knowledgeable and Professional… Good Quality Work! I Will Be Calling Them Again for Future Services…

I called them after 3 pm on a Saturday that my lightswitch in the bathroom wasn’t working. (Why does it ALWAYS happen on a weekend?). He called back within 30 minutes and was at my house in less than 15. My switch was repaired very quickly. I have a mid century home with mid century wiring and I was concerned that the wrong person would tell me that I needed massive rewiring. He cleaned up the switch area and installed the new hardware no problem! He was in and out in about 15 minutes. I will definitely call them again!

Ed is a great guy. He listens to your problems. Uses his knowledge and tools to diagnose. Solves it. Charges very reasonably. I’ve been with Ed for many years now and he has worked on Commercial as well as residential for me. I highly recommend the services at Ochoa Electric to anyone. Thank you Ed and the guys at Ochoa Electric.

In 2008, I met Ed at Home depot during a remodel of our IB Condo. Ed rewired our Condo during the kitchen & bath remodel. He did a great job, added circuits, which we are now very grateful for. He is very pleasant, fair and hardworking; I really enjoyed having him do our electrical work. A year later we had a duplex in Long Beach rewired by someone else; yes the lights worked, but the job barely passed inspection and the electrician was very difficult to work with. In 2010, we bought another rental in Long Beach that we wanted to have rewired. I was a little stressed and did not want to deal with a problem electrician so I paid a little more, but had Ed come-​up all the way from IB to do the job in Long Beach. He and Alex did a great job in one very long day. I was going to save money and put the fixtures in myself, but again decided the best value was to have Ed come-​up and finish off the job. The building inspector remembered me from the prior job and the other electrician’s inspection problems (the main thing was that he did not want to put enough outlets in and he did not want to crawl under the house) but Ed’s work sailed through the inspection. It was a big relief to have Ed handle this re-​wire.
We recently bought another investment property in IB, and had Ed do some repairs. He did a great job again.
In choosing Ed, I’m sure you will find excellent value with him and his work sailed right through the building inspections. It seems the building inspectors can tell the quality of the job right when they walk in the door.

This guy came and fixed some electrical problems we were having in our kitchen where the breaker would need to be reset every time we wanted to use our garbage disposal. I’m not sure what all he did exactly, but it only took him half an hour to both diagnose and fix the problem. So all in all I am very satisfied with his service. Bottom line: Quick fix, good pricing and a very friendly electrician. I would recommend using this guy.
