ASI Electric

A couple days ago I called ASI Electric and spoke to the owner Asi about my Timer in my backyard that needed troubleshooting because it was not working properly.
I very clearly asked if there was a service charge ahead of time to show up and he said no. Then the tech he sent tried to charge me $ 85 just to show up. His reasoning was because of the time he spent to drive here, and because of Obamacare. Ridiculous. So that is lie #1.
Then he said that it would be $ 185 to replace a GFI outlet and that was why my Timer wasn’t working. (Lie#2) The GFI works perfectly fine. My gardener was able to troubleshoot and he is not even a electrician. But I guess you don’t make much money when there is an easy fix.
Probably the worst offense was the phone conversation when I raised concerns over the fact that he was going to charge me $ 270 to fix the problem. Standard rate for an electrician these days is around $ 65-​$ 75/hr.I would never do business with someone that cannot have a calm conversation with a customer. He started get hot and heavy on the phone losing his cool and shouting when I asked what the difference between their company and another company like Powell Electric. He said, «Oh yes I love it, Powell Electric, Oh Yes I love it» in such an insulting tone. Listen pal you need grow up and figure out how to talk like an adult and treat your customers with resect otherwise you won’t have any. I hope you find this review helpful when choosing an electrician. Clearly, this company is only in it to stick it to their customers through deceptive practices and does not have the customer’s best interest in mind. Had they helped me instead of trying to screw they would have gotten a glowing review and future business from me.

I had 3 recessed lights installed at $ 65 a piece and you get the 4^th one free… The lighting changed the look and feel of the room immediately!!! Everything went smoothly except I noticed a scratch on the frame of my bathroom mirror where they tapped into the existing line… I thought if I wanted to make a stink over it or let it go, it was an accident I’m sure & the mirror was only about $ 100, but it was brand new & wasn’t like that prior to them installing the lights…
I called in was told they would look into it, long story short I had to keep calling them… Eventually I called in and the owner answered, he said he’d deduct $ 100 off my next job, and he was good on his word. He put more recessed lights in my living room w/​a dimmer which again changed the look & feel of the room immediately. He also put some lights in an office/​bedroom but they were not centered which I’m not crazy about & will have redone someday.

We just bought a 100 year old house that had old knob and tube wiring. We called literally 10 electricians for bids to rewire the entire house. Shai from ASI Electric was prompt and VERY THOROUGH in giving me a free estimate from the get go rather than giving me a ballpark and adding to it later. Not only was his bid the most competitive, he also did not nit pick over a switch or outlet here and there. He also called LADWP for a new panel location before we hired him (since we would need to do it no matter who we went with) so that we wouldn’t need to wait for 3 weeks for LADWP to come out.
We were on a tight timeline to move in in less than 3 weeks and he met this timeline. He promised to do the rough in work within two days with a crew of 10 guys and was true to his word. He could’ve easily taken his time with a smaller crew, especially around the holidays but didn’t. The rewiring passed inspection the first time. Throughout the process he gave his personal and professional opinion without being pushy.
Shai definitely went the extra mile and provided excellent service. His crew was likewise professional, worked quickly and cleaned up after themselves. Orit who works from the office was also very pleasant and professional to deal with. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

A friend recommended ASI Electric to us for our attic fan needs. I scheduled them to come in the morning and they came to the house early.
Shai (Co-​Owner of Asi Electric) and Robert walked my husband and I through our house and gave us the same estimate Asi had quoted me over the phone. We showed them a few outlets that also needed replacing and they said no problem they could do it all while they were putting in the attic fans. By going with ASI Electric I received two fans for the price of ONE when compared to several other companies we were receiving quotes from. I thought their prices were very reasonable, but more so then the price the reason I will be going back to ASI for all my future projects is because of the service!!!
Not only were they quick, very respectful of my home and professional, they were a breath of fresh air when it comes to trusting the people working on your home. Shortly after they left, one of the new fans started making a strange noise… I called Shai and asked him to come by in the next few days to look at it. He said a few days was unacceptable and he would be back to my home later that day! He returned to my home with Robert and they immediately confirmed something was slightly off. They spent an additional 45 min at my house making sure the strange noise was gone and the fan was working properly, they even replaced the fan just in case there was something wrong with the unit itself! Undoubtedly one of the best home improvement experiences we have had in a long time!
I think it is very difficult to find people whom you trust to work on your home, especially when each project is something you slowly save for so you want it to turn out right. I have no doubt I will be calling ASI Electric for my future projects, and will ABSOLUTELY request Shai & Robert. What a mitzvah they are to my home!

I have used this company several times now for electrical needs around my home. Their price for recessed lighting and installation can’t be beat. I most recently had some old wiring replaced and breaker repaired. They are always quick to get out and pleasant to deal with.
