What customers are saying …

Terry was very helpful 

Terry was very helpful when we were talking over the phone. His suggestions on our lighting problems made sense even to a layman as myself. He even pointed me to a much less expensive and better solution than I was anticipating. Two thumbs up and 5 stars for this company!!!

Technician Erick did an outstanding job switching out multiple ceiling lights, ceiling fans and 2 chandeliers. Best of all the time spent was very close to the estimate provided. Will definitely call again for future projects.

How a visit works

Wondering what it’s like to work with us? Learn about how our process goes — from initial consultation and scheduling, to service visit and courtesy followup.

1. Contacting Us

Every service call begins with understanding your needs. When you contact us, we’ll discuss the issue you’re experiencing and gather the information needed to determine the best way to help.

Depending on your situation, that may mean scheduling a service call, setting up an on-site consultation, or providing an estimate over the phone when possible. We’re also happy to answer any questions you may have, so you can feel confident that we’re the right fit for your electrical service needs.

2. Your Consultation

Some projects require a closer look before work begins. During an on-site consultation one of our experienced electricians will evaluate your electrical needs, discuss your goals, answer your questions, and provide recommendations. We’ll then prepare a clear cost comparison of the options so you can make an informed decision before moving forward.

3. Getting Scheduled

Once you’re ready to move forward, we’ll work with you to schedule an appointment at a time that’s convenient for you. Because electrical service calls can vary in length, we schedule arrival windows rather than exact appointment times. However, we’ll always call or text before your electrician heads your way, so you’re informed of our arrival and don’t have to spend the day waiting at home.

As soon as your appointment is scheduled, you’ll receive a text confirmation with all the details. We’ll also send a reminder text the day before your appointment to help keep everything on track. We value your time and strive to arrive within your scheduled arrival window, fully prepared to complete the job efficiently.

4. Service Performed

On the day of your appointment a technician will arrive ready to diagnose and make repairs in a fully stocked vehicle. With some installations we’ll typically have 2-3 technicians to complete your project. In all cases, we take the time to explain our findings, answer your questions, and complete the work safely and professionally using quality materials.

Throughout the service our technicians will keep you informed about pricing and discuss any changes or additional work before proceeding, so there are no surprises. Before leaving we’ll ensure the work area is clean, the job is completed to your satisfaction and everything is functioning properly.

5. Courtesy Followup

Our commitment doesn’t end when the job is complete. We’ll make sure you’re satisfied with the work performed and provide any recommendations for foreseeable maintenance needs. If you have questions after your service or need additional support, our team is just a phone call away. We stand behind our work and are dedicated to building long-term relationships through reliable service with our neighbors on the Central Coast.

Why choose us

At EMP we aim to be trustworthy, accountable and committed. To achieve this consistently involves ongoing training, staff reviews, plus legal and financial commitments.

Accountable. Each electrician receives ongoing education and safety training. All are regularly reviewed based on customer feedback to ensure a helpful, caring spirit.

Committed. All our electricians are employees and not subcontractors. And because we are fully committed to service work, turning down construction jobs, we are free to respond to calls quicker.

Community. The owner regularly performs pro bono services for homelessness and substance abuse shelters, and disadvantaged senior citizens. Employees also volunteer in community outreach programs.

Dependable. Technicians work very hard to complete the job on the first visit. Even if it means continuing to work after business hours to finish the job, EMP will do so, and without charging extra.

Safety. Our technicians are trained to be especially cautious in performing electrical work in public areas, to make sure passersby are safe. 

Transparent. If it appears that the job at hand is becoming costly, the electrician will inform the customer of the options before doing the work.

Trustworthy. We are licensed, bonded and insured. Our electricians are State Certified. License #870950. Bond level: $25,000.

Warranty. All of our work carries a one year, unconditional warranty. Our stress free guarantee includes parts that we supply as well.
