Electrical reviews in Irvine, California

This was my first service request from this Company and I was very pleasantly surprised.
I found them on Thumb Tack and I had a response from the owner in less than a minute.
The technician Michael showed up first thing in the morning next day and diagnosed the problem in less than 15 minutes. He then went to pick up the fan motor and had the AC blowing super cold air in about 2 hours. He was very friendly, courteous and professional.
I highly recommend this Company El- Fi homes and will definitely use them for any future service calls.

This company did a great job, and ensured a quality HVAC install from top to bottom. From Edwin, the field installer, all the way through to the top. I recommend these guys.

Fantastic installation

Thank you so much Uday and EL-FI team for this amazing system!

I contacted 20+ different installers and EL-FI Homes had the best pricing. But after the system was installed, I found out that not only was the pricing excellent, the turn around time was only 1 day, and my system now covers all our electricity needs, with high quality products (8x 400W Hyundai solar panels, Enphase 10C)

If anyone needs an upgrade to solar to avoid some of the increasing energy costs, I strongly recommend El-Fi homes, for the low price, good quality, and speed of installation

The dispatcher was very responsive and able to get a technician out the same day. Jonathan was very knowledgeable and diagnosed a wiring error that the original solar installer had made on the house electrical panel. I would highly recommend this company.

I initially contacted this company for a same-day HVAC repair and appreciated their prompt response and lack of a diagnostic fee. Because the technician did not have the required part, I scheduled another appointment and paid a deposit towards the estimated repair costs.

For reasons beyond my control I had to cancel the appointment. I was told the deposit was non-refundable, despite no prior disclosure of such a policy. While they eventually agreed to issue a refund, it took 7 days and multiple follow-up reminders before the funds were returned. Although the initial service was professional, the lack of transparency regarding the deposit and the difficulty in recovering it were disappointing.

Michael quickly diagnosed and fixed my AC issue. He was knowledgeable, professional, and easy to work with. Really appreciate his help!

Had a great experience with EL-FI. I had AC installed and I was weighing my options between having it relocated to my attic or just adding it onto my current furnace. Jeffrey initially came by to do the intake on the job and he was very friendly and helpful during our conversations and discussions. He worked with me and my budget and gave a reasonable price without being pushy.

Michael and Edwin were the main two performing the work when it came to install day. They were super respectful and nice! Michael went the extra mile and helped me set up my thermostat, asked if there were any requests I had, and answered all of my questions. Everyone was very personable, friendly, and great to work with. The owner even swung by to check out the job at one point lol. I would recommend this crew for any of your HVAC needs!

Angel from El-Fi Homes was fantastic to work with. He was kind, patient, and very professional throughout the entire process.

I originally reached out for help with solar panels, but while he was there I also asked him to take a look at an issue with our dryer plug in an older home. His troubleshooting skills really stood out. He quickly identified that the issue was a disconnected breaker, but also caught something more important. A previous installer had possibly connected aluminum and copper wiring, which can be a real safety hazard if not handled correctly.

He took the time to explain the risks and walked me through my options clearly. What I appreciated most was that he wasn’t pushy at all. He explained that we could simply reconnect the breaker, or for a few hundred dollars more, fix it properly with a safe aluminum-to-copper junction. He left the decision entirely up to us, which made the experience feel very trustworthy.

We chose the more permanent fix, and he did a great job. The installation was clean, he tested everything thoroughly, and even provided photos of the work he completed in the attic. He also went the extra mile by covering electrical boxes that were missing plates and addressing exposed spliced wiring, which gave us additional peace of mind.

He kept me informed every step of the way, and everything was done cleanly and professionally. Highly recommend Angel if you’re looking for someone knowledgeable, honest, and easy to work with.

Horrible at communicating and never show up on the day supposed to

I really like the service it was quick.

I really like the service it was so quick and Easy. I called in the morning and a couple hours later they contact and start the service! I really Appreciate there work. Thank you!

We upgraded our electrical panel to 200amps. Overall, positive experience. Uday communicated clearly when there was an issue with the schedule.

EL and FI where great. If there is something they can help you with, take them up on it. It will be money well spent. I had a solar panel issue and they were able to do the job in the time I needed it done. They did a great , professional job and I highly recommend them.

El-Fi Homes helped me when i was in a really bad situation. My Previous Solar contractor did not finish the project all the way & went bankrupt. I contacted several contractors & nobody willing to help. Uday & Team at EL-Fi homes filed the necessary paperwork with the City, helped & guided me to complete the Project. I am very grateful Uday & his team. Thank you very much

I chose EL-FI Homes for my solar panel installation after careful deliberation. There were many competitive bids. Time will tell if my decision was right, although this is looking light the right one at this moment in time. EL-FI was responsive when I requested them to use the panels of my choice and made it happen. Despite the NEM craze, they completed the project on time. Their team is always there to clarify questions and I am satisfied with the transparency displayed by EL-FI Homes. The workmanship was outstanding and their concern for my property was displayed throughout the project. EL-FI homes team inspected my attic before they left the job site displaying utmost care for the property. EL-FI Homes' expertise and commitment to customer satisfaction are truly commendable!

When we decided to explore the possibility of installing solar panels on our house, we obtained a quote from the most recommended solar companies online and the well known ones. We were satisfied with the proposal and the plan. However, in the interest of due diligence, we reached out to Uday from ELFI Homes to seek a second opinion. It's always wise to consider multiple perspectives. To our delight, Uday managed to provide us with more power at the same price and with a lower interest rate. We engaged in a series of email exchanges to finalize the agreement, and my involvement in the process was minimal. Uday and his team took care of securing permits, handling the installation, coordinating with the power company, and managing all the necessary inspections. As someone with a busy schedule, this level of assistance was greatly appreciated. If you're in need of assistance, don't hesitate to contact Uday at EL FI Homes. They offer a good product, exceptional service, and excellent financing options. A definite thumbs up from us.

I recently had a solar system installed at my home, and I couldn't be happier with the process. From the initial consultation to the final installation, EL-FI Homes provided outstanding service. Here's why I highly recommend them:

Communication: They kept me informed every step of the way, answering all my questions and ensuring that I understood each phase of the project. Their responsiveness was second to none.

Quality of Work: The installation team was professional, efficient, and meticulous. They ensured everything was done to the highest standard, leaving my property clean and the system working perfectly.

Speed: The entire project was completed in a timely manner. I was impressed by how quickly they worked without compromising on quality.

Transparency: I was provided with clear and concise information throughout the process. There were no hidden fees or surprises, just a smooth and transparent experience.

Overall Satisfaction: I'm thrilled with my new solar system. It's performing as expected, and I know I made the right choice with EL-FI Homes.

After searching and looking for a vendor who could give me a reasonable estimate with the type of panels I wanted, these guys know their panels. They helped me understand how they came up with their recommendation for number of solar panels, and what electrical panel updates were needed since I want to get an EV, too. They're licensed and insured.

The installers were on time and professional, and unlike some roofers, they cleaned up the yard/after themselves. I have other plans for the house, and they met their schedule to get it installed in 30 days. I got instructions on how to monitor and track energy production, and so far, I've had a good summer. Can't recommend having solar to help with maintaining lower energy costs. It's a big investment, and I'm glad I got these.

Went above and beyond!
EL-FI Homes, experts in solar panel system installation and battery backup units, stood out to me among various vendors due to their offer of top-notch products at cutthroat prices. Their meticulously outlined step-by-step process and 24x7 availability of their staff for addressing my queries throughout the journey, made a significant impression on me. The Installation Team left us thoroughly impressed with their unwavering dedication and hard work throughout the entire installation process. Not only were their prices competitive, but also despite a few complications regarding my electrical panels requiring maintenance, they were able to complete the whole project within around a month’s time! No other vendor we approached guaranteed such a fast process. Not only that, but they even provided maintenance for my electrical panel and even painted my existing conduit to match the aesthetics of their solar panels at no extra cost! Their dedication was on display when taking charge of permits, showcasing impeccable workmanship, and maintaining relentless determination to complete the project rapidly. Their commitment to tidiness was evident as they meticulously cleared every trace of debris from our yard upon project completion—a detail we greatly valued. Uday, the Project Manager, exhibited exceptional competence, effective communication, and a friendly demeanor. He demonstrated profound knowledge about the installed equipment and even took the time to provide an in-depth system explanation during his visit to our home. Ultimately, EL-FI was the perfect choice, and like me, if you’re looking for great customer service, look no further! Above all, the solar panels' energy production has far exceeded our initial expectations, leaving us thoroughly content with the outcome.

Recently I have a main panel upgrade for my home. I have called few licenses electric contracts and asked for quotes and i have decided to choose El-FI homes for the job. El-Fi gave out the straight forward quote which included permit, drawings plan, and obtain city approvals for every single steps thru out the job. Unlike many other electric contracts they give out the quote but when they come to your place, they will add on permit fee, extra cost for panel etc..Like many home owners we did not like this type of tactic. El-FI is not like that, they gave the quote and perform the job with utmost to compliance with building code in addition, El-FI Homes has knowledge and forward thinking suggest install panel with capability to expand solar panel later by install electrical panel with future capability and prevent owner from additional cost for future. El-FI homes performed an excellent job to upgrade my electrical main panel. I would 100% recommend El-Fi Homes.
Price: very competitive
Performance: excellent
Rules & Regulation: excellent
Time: On time excellent
Communication: quick responsive
