Folsom Lake Electric

We have had Mike out several times to add new electrical outlets and install ceiling fans in our vaulted ceilings. He is always friendly, quick, and helpful.

Installed a Spa Hookup for us. Top notch work at a decent price. We will definitely use them next time.

I needed a ceiling fan installed on a high ceiling with short notice. Mike was able to accommodate me when nobody else could. He was prompt, professional and friendly. The fan was up quickly and it works like a charm. Highly recommended!

I did not wind up using this business because they do not do work in the midtown/​downtown area (apparently they only go up as far as Watt Ave). However, I’m leaving 5 stars because I called, left a message describing the project I have, where I live and I received a phone call back within 10 minutes advising that they don’t travel to Sacramento. I’ve called several electricians over the past few days and the responses back have been very slow. I really appreciate that this business was so prompt in returning my call– even just to tell me they don’t do work in my area. Thanks so much!

The Husband and I called Mike at Folsom Lake Electric because we needed an old light fixture in our kitchen removed, some can lights installed, and some lights installed on the front of our house.
Mike was very responsive and professional and gave us a quote by email after speaking about what we were looking for over the phone. He quoted us a reasonable price, so we scheduled an appointment for him to come out and do the work the very next week.
He arrived on time for the appointment and was very professional with his work and our time. He installed everything exactly how we wanted and in a timely manner. It turned out perfect! We are so happy with our new lights both inside and outside our house.
We chose Folsom Lake Electric based on the great Unilocal reviews and they didn’t let us down. We plan on calling Mike again when we decide to do can lights in our hallway and our bathrooms. He’s professional and does great work. Thank you!

We haven’t needed to turn on our AC yet! We had them install the QuietCool 4700 in our home. Built in 1989, it doesn’t have efficient windows and it got quite hot in the upstairs bedrooms. Rather than spend 15k on windows, we thought a nice intermediate step would be a whole house fan… And we are so glad we did it! On the low setting, it runs on 60 watts. Yup, like a light bulb. Now for a few dollars a month, we’re cool people again.
Professional, charged what they quoted, and clean. We’d hire these guys again.

We moved to Folsom, Ca last summer and had a long to do list of electrical work we wanted done. Mike was great at coming to the house and giving us a detailed list of the cost for each item. As we have the money for the list I call Mike and he comes out for the next project. Yesterday he was here for the third project and I couldn’t be happier with his work. Thank you Unilocal because this is where we found FLE.

Called Mike to add a duplex outlet outside. What would have been a simple job was a bit more complex with fire blocking and a staple where he needed to run the additional wire. Mike went the extra mile and got the job done. Very professional, highly recommended.

FLE, Mike added lights to the front and side of the house. You really can’t find a better guy to work with and the work was A++++. Very happy with the communication, scheduling, and promptness. We are planning to have Mike back for our next project.

Again I called Mike at FLE to get me out of an electrical mess. This guy is terrific. He gives 110% and always in friendly manner. His work is perfect and his prices are surprisingly good. He’s the only one I call.

Mike is great! He does a fantastic job and good prices. They are very good at communication and speedy results.

Mike was very professional. He gave us a free estimate and based on his pricing and demeanor we had him install our lights and switch. He was flexible with the installation dates, efficient, and clean.
He even did some research for us on a lighting problem and gave us some options to explore. This was above and beyond the scope of work we paid him to do.
I would definitely recommend him to others and will use him for future projects.

Mike installed a whole house fan for me recently. He did a great job. He showed up on time, was very clean and finished within the time he estimated. He had to cut two holes in my ceiling to install the fan vents. The ceiling cuts were well positioned and looked really nice when he was done. I would give Folsom Lake Electric my best recommendation.

Mike is a true professional — arrived on schedule, corrected the
Problem at reasonable cost. ‘Nuf said. We will definitely use
Him again and will recommend him to our friends. j

I hired FLE twice now, one job for fixing a GFI outlet, remove some outlets, and install new outlets with bubble covers. The second job was to install two ceiling fans, wire the electrical boxes, and make sure they are properly braced. He completed both jobs, knows what he is doing, was prompt with his appointments, and very professional. If i ever need an electrician i am going to call FLE. Thanks Mike, you are awesome.

Once again — beautiful work. He came out to our home in Loomis and put in 5 ceiling fans, outlets, switches, can lights, etc. He is professional and works hard. Even the screws are lined up on the outlets! :) Thank you again.

I gave Folsom Lake Electric a call this afternoon because I had lost power to several of my outlets and the lights in my garage. I knew I had tripped one of the breakers because of power overload. I tried several different solutions and nothing worked. That’s when I made the call to Mike. I told him what was going on and he proceeded to give me a few more troubleshooting ideas and told me try them when I got home. He said if they didn’t work to call him back and he would come out and take a look. Well I didn’t have to call Mike back because his suggestions worked. I thank Mike for giving me the chance to fix it myself rather come out here and charge for a simple fix. If I ever have any electrical problems again I will be sure to call Mike. I owe him one.

I have had Mike from Folsom Lake Electric out a couple of times on various projects and have always been thrilled with his work. The last time he came out and installed and wired an outdoor motion activated security light. The installation looks great being in a spot where there was no wiring or mounting before he came. The light also works perfectly on the first night with zero adjustments being needed to light aim, sensitivity etc.
Mike is very friendly and sticks to his appointment times. Folsom Lake Electric will be the only company I use for any electrical work.

I was in need of someone to come out and run coaxial cable from my outside TV box to my attic so that I could hook up my HD antenna to get over the air programming on my two HD TVs and wasn’t sure who to call for this type of service. After doing a bit of searching, Folsom Lake Electric (FLC) was suggested on a couple different sites. After reading through the positive reviews on Unilocal,I decided to give them a try.
I had emailed Mike my request and he quickly responded with an estimate of the amount of time it would take as well as the cost.
Mike came out this morning on time and was honest in telling me that he didn’t have experience with HD antennas and wasn’t sure whether or not the antenna would have good reception and if it didn’t work, wouldn’t be sure how to troubleshoot the antenna. I appreciated the information, but I had done my research and was fairly certain there wouldn’t be any issues with using the antenna with the new cable. I also wasn’t expecting him to troubleshoot the antenna since the service I was paying him for was just running the cable — he reassured me that this was a straightforward job.
The running /​fishing of the cable took about an hour (as he stated over email) and charged me less than he quoted, which was a big plus! :) It worked wonderfully… both HD TVs were able to utilize the antenna and the reception is awesome!
Mike is personable and does very professional work and I am very happy with the results. On a side note, he was surprised to see the number of channels that came in as well as the better quality than what a cable/​dish company provides.
I would definitely recommend FLC and will likely use them in the future if I need their services again.

UPDATE:
I called the guys at Folsom Lake Electric to fix an issue with my switches and a dimmer in my kitchen.
A+ again! Must a be an olympic record for an electrician… Nice work. I’ll use them again.
