"I had a previous electrician give a very high quote to fix my ceiling fan/light so I wanted to get another quote. Michael was very responsive and we were able to quickly schedule an appointment to easily fix the problem at a fair price. If you're looking for an electrician in La Mirada, I'd highly recommend Michael at First Electric!"

"I am very pleased I found Michael at First Electric for my project. He was very responsive, on time, and professional. He gave me a very reasonable quote (lower than some others) on installing my ceiling fan and did a great job. I will hire again if the need presents itself."
