Electrical reviews in Torrance, California

UPDATE 9/3/25 1902

Final review after job completion. Since my last review, I have been very transparent about my frustration and disappointment, and even though the work progress and communication took many unexpected turns, I feel at the very least, good credits have to be given when it is due.

Pros:
-Owner of B&M Electric, Charles Vargas, have been very responsive and accountable. In my book, this is very respectable as it is difficult to find a company with these values nowadays.
-Technician Rizal Smith was pleasant, experienced, and informative during the initial assessment and provided thorough evaluation.
-They don't take short cuts. The receptacle used was an EV specific charger which decreases the chance of melting. Installation was solid, appropriate outdoor outlet cover was used. The overall apparatus feels well put together and is holding up well without issue thus far.

Cons:
-Initial contract was for a same day installation, however due to a missing component, the installation took 7 days to complete. After discussion, Charles ended up compensating for the time lost, which is respectable.
-Estimate was higher than competitors, but of note, they favored quality materials and took no short cuts.
-Fragmented communications. If a response or update was promised to be delivered at a certain time frame, it should be. This is inexcusable.

Overall, even though the whole installation process took a week alongside my frustration with poor communication and having to hold their team accountable on a daily basis for updates, I find it very respectable that the owner was responsive, accountable for their faults, and took initiative to compensate for my time lost. Through our conversations, I can tell he takes pride in his company and truly cares about his business. Also kudos for a knowledgeable technician who didn't take short cuts and got the job done right. Thank you, B&M Electric.

B & M was quick to respond to my non-emergency call. Technician Adam was great, he answered all my questions. Provided me with a clear plan of how best to fix our electrical problem and then was able to fix it quickly. Prices were affordable as well. Will definitely call them again if I experience more electrical issues in the future.

We had B&M Electric install a fan and a chandelier, and they were incredible to work with. Rizal Smith arrived right on time for our quote, and as soon as our fan arrived, he was able to book us for the very next day. He was extremely professional, efficient, and timely — which is such a rare quality these days when it comes to home projects. The work was done beautifully, and we couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend!

I recently hired these guys for some lights I wanted changed around the house and panel looked at. Eric and his guys were very professional and got the job done fast. I definitely will be using them again in the future!

Eric and the Coastal team did a fantastic job installing my car charger. He is efficient, detail oriented, communicative, and organized. The crew was professional and answered all my questions. I highly recommend Coastal Electricians.

I've used Coastal on more than one occasion to handle jobs small and big. Eric and his team are always professional and very reasonably priced. They did a remodel for me which involved a bunch of new wires being pulled, plugs added, panel work, etc. Everything was done efficiently and without any issues. And I've called them to do quick switches and canned light upgrades and they used the same professionalism to knock these small jobs out quickly. I can't recommend Eric and his team enough.

As a homeowner, finding a skilled, trustworthy electrician really matters, and Eric at Coastal Electrical Services delivered on every level.

Eric was thorough, professional, and detail oriented from the start. He took the time to walk through the scope of work, explain options clearly, and make sure everything was done safely, cleanly, and up to code. No guessing and no vague answers, just solid knowledge and confidence in his craft.

The workmanship was excellent and thoughtfully executed, with clear attention to long term reliability, not just getting the job done quickly. The job site was left clean, communication was clear throughout, and timelines were honored.

It is rare to find a contractor who treats your home with the same care they would treat their own. That is exactly how Eric operates. If you are a homeowner looking for quality work, transparency, and real peace of mind, Coastal Electrical Services is an easy recommendation.

Coastal Electric and the owner Eric did a fantastic job ripping and replacing the very old electrical in my garage and installing new interior and exterior lights. I have referred them to my friends and am happy that Coast took good care of them. Highly recommend.

I reached out to get help with issues on a rental property; before they even came out they helped me with troubleshooting over the phone. When that was not successful, Fastwire Electric made special accommodations to be able to address the issues in a remarkably quick time, getting the entire issue resolved before the tenant's food could go bad in the fridge! Overall impression: professional and highly competent; well worth the price!

I contacted Joe with Fastwire Electric to install an electric outlet on my balcony, and I was very pleased with his service. He was responsive, he came on short notice, and the new outlet is working great. I highly recommend his services to others.
