"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!"
