About Commerce

First Electric provides residential and commercial electrical services in Commerce, CA. Commerce features both residential neighborhoods and extensive commercial and industrial properties, creating varied electrical needs.

The Industrial District requires complex commercial and industrial electrical systems, including high-capacity electrical service, data wiring, lighting systems, and electrical maintenance for manufacturing and warehouse facilities. Many industrial properties need specialized electrical work to support heavy machinery, production equipment, and large-scale operations.

"I hired First Electric through Yelp, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Their response time alone was impressive, they had Michael out to my house within an hour of my call.Michael delivered true white-glove service. He was incredibly courteous, professional, and thorough throughout the entire visit. What really stood out was how much time he took to educate me during the troubleshooting process. He didn't just diagnose and repair the issue, he walked me through every step, explained what he was checking, why he was checking it, and made sure I fully understood everything along the way. Honestly, he came across more like a teacher and trusted advisor than just a service technician.He replaced the receptacle, double-checked all the breakers, and helped troubleshoot why my EV wasn't charging. He even went above and beyond by going to my neighbor's house to test and troubleshoot the charging cable we were using. That level of effort and customer care is rare these days.This was easily a five-star experience. First Electric and Michael exceeded every expectation I had, and they are now my permanent go-to company for any electrical work I need in the future. Highly recommend."

"My elderly in-laws had old florescent kitchen lights that went out. Called several recommended electrical companies. Michael was the only one that came out that same day told us what he could do and gave us a quote. We wanted to change from Florescent to LEDs. He ordered the parts and the following week when the parts came in, he was here and replaced the old lights. The kitchen lights are much brighter and use less wattage. His charge to us (labor and material) was very reasonable and work was done quickly and professionally. Michael has very pleasant personality and answered any electrical question we had. It was a "delight" to have him do the work for us!"
