Penny Electric is great. We used them on our renovation years ago and every time we’ve needed work since, they are our go-to electrician. We’ve worked with Ernesto and Jesus and both have been phenomenal. The company is easy to work with and stands behind its work. I can’t recommend Penny enough.

★★★★★ Outstanding Service from Start to Finish! I recently had an issue with my backyard landscape lights that suddenly stopped working, and I couldn't be happier with the service I received from Penny Electric. From my very first phone call through job completion, everything was handled with professionalism and efficiency. Scheduling the appointment was effortless, and I appreciated the follow-up communications confirming the appointment, along with the notifications providing the technicians' names and estimated arrival time. When William and Allan arrived, they were professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and respectful of my property. They clearly explained their process, letting me know they would first diagnose the issue, provide their findings, and then proceed with any repairs only after receiving my approval. They quickly identified the problem and, after I approved the work, got right to it. The issue turned out to be more complicated than expected, but William and Allan demonstrated exceptional troubleshooting skills and technical expertise. They worked efficiently, systematically resolved the problem, and restored my landscape lighting in a timely manner. Once the work was completed, they made sure the job site was clean, thoroughly explained what had been repaired and how they fixed it, and verified that everything was working properly before leaving. Excellent customer service, outstanding technicians, and quality workmanship from beginning to end. I highly recommend Penny Electric, and especially William and Allan, to anyone looking for a trustworthy, professional electrical company. A true first-class operation! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
