"Called First Electric on Friday morning and requested him to come and look at my electrical panel. We met later that day which was perfect timing. He diagnosed the panel and suggested I do a panel upgrade. He flipped the breakers and found one of them arcing with a little flame. He said he could not leave with electricity connected because of the fire risk. He said he would go home and write up a quote and email it to me that night. His price was so much lower than the quotes I had for a panel replacement. I agreed to have this done and he said he would order the parts Friday night and pick up the parts Saturday morning and be at my house to do the job around 10:00am.He was here on time and got to work. It took him till about 3:30-4:00pm to complete the job.I highly recommend First Electric for all your electrical needs.Honest, friendly, and does what he says he will do??MarkBrea CA"

"Michael is great! One of our switches in the house stopped working out of no where. We tried to turn the breaker off and on but nothing seemed to work so we took to yelp to request some quotes. Michael's quote was reasonable and he was able to come the next day. He was patient with us and took the time to educate us as well. He crawled into the attic and found that a wire was short and after fixing it we were back in business. I would definitely use him again and recommend him to other people!"

"It seemed like I was having issues with one of our breakers on an old 1954 electrical panel since half the house still had power. Michael quickly responded to check out the issue. He assessed the issue and told me it seemed like an Edison issue. I checked online and sure enough there was some sort of outage. 100% recommend Michael. The experience was like my electrician neighbor coming over as a favor!"
