Mission Electrical Service

We recently had our hot water heater replaced with a tankless that required an outlet nearby. Quick hot water heaters recommended Tim at Mission. Tim was able to squeeze us in to have a look at our situation and then came back at our scheduled time to install the outlet. Looks good and works like it should. A professional job. We had an additional need for an outlet behind the tv because I hate seeing cords. Done.

I needed an electrical outlet asap to provide electricity for a new tankless water heater. He was not only able to do this on the same day but he came in way lower than the phone bid because he said it was easier than he had anticipated. He was very thorough and explored all options before starting.
I also asked him to take a look at a pendant light, which he did and installed a new transformer that he had in his truck. Two problems solved in one visit! Tim is my go to guy for any electrical problems now, nice to know of someone skilled at their trade, easy to have around, and honest as well!

Tim did a great job in my condo installing ceiling lights. He was on time, worked fast and the price was correct. Plus, when we had a concern about one light buzzing several months after, he came to fix the problem right away with no charge.
Great guy, great job!

Tim just completed a 2 day project for me and I only have wonderful things to say about his customer service and quality of work. He did some rewiring as well as running several new feeds. He arrived on time, worked hard, and was very conscientious. He took the time to understand exactly what i wanted him to do and was very patient with many questions. I am a hard customer to please and Tim exceeded my expectations and on top of that his prices were reasonable. Thanks!

Tim is the man. I am a plumbing contractor who focuses on the customer experience. I don’t do electrical work and therefore give tim all our electrical work. Over the years I have never had one bad experience. He does great work and I never have to worry about him jeopardizing my reputation. I give him a job and he takes it from there. All my customers love him. I pay what ever he asks because I know that he does things the right way and doesn’t cut corners. A penny saved on a contractor is not a penny earned. It’s a massive liability waiting to catch on fire or worse. Go with Tim, you won’t be disappointed.

My experience with Mission Electrical was outstanding. Tim was not only on time but extremely professional. He did a small installation in our garage and the work was done perfectly. I would would absolutely recommend Tim and Mission Electrical to anyone looking for a courteous, reliable and extremely qualified electrician.

Tim has done multiple projects on my home from doing a panel upgrade to under cabinet lighting. He has always been very thorough with his work and honest. I could not be happier with the work and would recommend him to anyone!

I contacted Tim about installing a ceiling fan in a location where there was no existing fixture/​power or attic access. Tim’s initial quote was substantially less than another electricians so naturally I went with him. He was able to quickly and professionally complete the project and everything looks and works great! On top of this, the final cost came in at the lower end of his quote. Needless to say, I would highly recommend Mission Electrical Service!

Tim is great and has reasonable pricing on projects. He’s very accommodating with last minute requests.

I give this business 5 stars. I needed an electrical outlet last minute. I called other electrical companies before I found this company and did not get the service I wanted. When I called, I spoke to Tim. He was quick to set an appointment to come to my home. When he got there, he was courteous. He gave me options for the outlet and ways to save money. I loved how he was so clean. He covered the floor and furniture before starting his work. He even asked if we wanted his shoes off before entering the home. He was very fast in completing the work. He even vacuumed the carpet. Awesome job. Highly recommended.

Tim was great to work with. I had a fairly extensive and urgent installation needed, and Tim was over that day to give me an estimate. He explained everything in detail, with a fair price. Tim returned a few days later, was here for most of the day, but did an awesome job. Couldn’t ask for better. highly recommend Mission Electrical Service.
Thanks again Tim for helping on such short notice.

I have lived in my home for over 25 years and have had a number of electricians put in downlighting, hang chandelier lighting, fix electrical circuits that are overloaded, put in landscape lighting, install motion detectors around the house, add light switches, etc. Tim is by far the best electrician I have ever had.
I called him because he had helped us out when our tankless water heater was installed several years ago. My plumber knew him and recommended him. Several weeks ago, I left Tim a message stating what I wanted and he promptly returned my call. He arrived in a day to survey the work that needed to be done and then emailed me a written estimate. Tim’s estimate seemed reasonable considering the amount of work he had to do. He got rid of track lights in 3 bedrooms and put in downlighting, His judgment as to how many LED lights I needed and where to place them was perfect. In addition, he replaced dozens of track light fixtures in another room where downlighting could not be installed. He did this at my request for a certain sized LED bulb I wanted in the fixtures. He did such a nice job that I also had him change out the light switches and plugs throughout the house.
Tim always arrived on the day he said he would and was always on time. If he knew he might be even 30 min late, he would text or call me. He was neat, professional in every way, and extremely knowledgable. I am so glad I found him to do the work! He’s the best!

I came back home and found the 3 light switches that control the same light fixtures along the stairway not working. Luckily it was in the afternoon so I could see a bit, but if it happened at night, I would be walking in pitch-​black from the garage up to the second floor. I checked the service panel and tried replacing with new light bulbs, but they still weren’t working. I’m a girl who doesn’t know much about troubleshooting electrical problems so I didn’t even attempt to fix it due to fear of electrocuting myself. Haha. But, thanks to you fellow Unilocalers, I found Tim. He came an hour after the call on Saturday afternoon and figured out the problem. The two switches cannot be in the same position for the lights to turn on, which shouldn’t be the case if everything was done correctly in the first place. It turned out one of the switches didn’t work properly so Tim replaced it with a new one. Now, the light would turn on no matter what position the other switch is in. No need to keep track or freak out anymore. :) I’m so happy with his work and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an honest electrician.
FYI: He also works after hours, too!

Tim charged me to come out and give an estimate on a Friday. $ 148 to be exact. I was given a quote for $ 300 to fish a wire a few feet to the garbage disposal outlet/​switch and one other outlet less than 2 feet away. I was desperate and tired of the problem so I gave him the go ahead. Plus who wants to pay $ 150 for a troubleshoot and estimate? He had to punch a hole in the wall to fish the wire over, which I asked him not to do. He then proceeded to tell me that in order to get power to my above-​the-​stove microwave, he’d have to run a dedicated line and tear up my (freshly painted) walls and ceiling, then gave me quote of $ 900. I had previously had another electrician come out (free estimate) who said the same thing, only he wouldn’t tear up my walls and it would only cost $ 250 (DON’T TELL HIM WHAT ANYONE ELSE TELLS YOU, HE WILL EXPLOIT IT). I politely declined and paid him $ 450 to fish some wire to a few outlets. Total rip off.
The next day I had Robert’s Electric come out for an estimate. They also charge about $ 150 to troubleshoot and estimate. They fished the wire to my above-​the-​stove microwave outlet from an outlet he had fished power to the previous day for only $ 100 (so basically he could have just run the wire up to the other outlet a couple feet away). Problem solved.
Later that next day, I look under my sink and notice that there are wet paper towels in there where Tim had been working. Water is dripping from the hot water valve, all over my brand new cabinets and flooring. He must have noticed it was wet because he used the paper towels to clean it up! Only, he failed to mention it to me.
Another thing, he broke the (freshly painted) wall around every outlet/​switch that he worked on and had to use spackle to fix it, and did so very haphazardly. You’re an electrician and you cannot remove and replace a face plate without damaging walls?
Do yourself a favor, go to someone else. I wonder if those other reviews are even real.

I’m a person who has a wide range of skills working around the house and therefore do not invite contractors to my house. I needed to upgrade my service panel from 125 amps to 200 amps and install a 230 volt line in the garage for a new lathe. This type of work is not one of those skills sets I have. I struggled to find a trust worthy contractor until I came across Tim at Mission Electric.
I did receive a wide range of quotes and Tim’s was very competitive. After spending 20 minutes or so with Tim I got the sense he was honest and capable of doing the job correct the first time. He is very honest and dependable. He did everything he said he was going to do and on the time frame he provided.
His quote also provided the permit fees and he managed SDG&E with no problems (at least from my view point). Since I’m very picky I chose to do the stucco and match the texture and color.
He did complete the job in one day as previously committed. He actually had the power back on in the house in about 5 hours. I don’t remember the exact time so don’t quote me on this.
The job has been complete for a few weeks and thoroughly enjoying my new lathe thanks to Tim.
If you need electrical work (big or small) I would highly recommend him. He is a one man show so your work request does not bounce around from person to person like other electrical companies.
If I ever need additional electrical work done I will definitely call Mission Electric.
Tim, YOU ROCK!

Tim did a great job. I didn’t have a very complicated job but he knocked it out quickly and professionally.
Thanks Tim

I contacted a few electricians in the area after reading their Unilocal reviews. Not everyone is willing to come out and provide a free quote (especially on a Saturday just a few days away).
Tim came over and we discussed the project. I got one other quote but the other electrician seemed less professional and less knowledgeable. Also, his price was higher and he wasn’t confident it would be thee final price until starting the work. A few other companies gave me pricing site unseen and I was not comfortable using them.
Obviously going with Mission Electric was an easy choice. Tim hung three sputnik chandeliers in my vaulted ceiling and he removed the lighting fixture that was in another part of the room. I was so happy both with the end result and his work throughout the day. From all my interactions with him, it was clear he was very knowledgable. He also came on time, took great care to not make a mess, and he cleaned up after the job. I was expecting couple of holes in the ceiling and walls but he only cut one and screwed it back in neatly so all I have to do is a little patch and paint.
Once he installed the boxes to hold each of the chandeliers, he hung each one without connecting the power so I could see exactly how it was going to look and we could tweak the height of each one. He was just as concerned about everything looking perfect as I was.
Working with Tim was all around a great experience. Should I ever need electrical work done again, I will only call Tim. I’d recommend him to anyone needing an electrician.

I was referred to Tim by my student intern.
I manage vacation rental property in La Jolla and Mission Beach. My brief story is:
SDG&E shut off the electrical feed to one of my property’s and just left a note on the door with no explanation. I called Mission on a Friday at 2:00pm left a message and received a call back in 15 minutes. Tim was at the property by 4:00 pm and committed to the repair Saturday at 8:00 am. He was done by 4:00pm on Saturday and that is where he really stepped to the plate. SDG&E after telling us we did not need a permit reneged on the commitment to turn on the service after the repair and required a city inspection and permit. You and I know this is code for city work and fees. Tim took care of the permit on Monday, Met the inspector on Tuesday, and arranged the SDG&E turn on of the electricity on Wednesday. This fiasco was created by city and SDG&E bureaucracy whose business ethics are deplorable. It’s a breath of fresh air to see how customer service oriented individual businesses like Mission Electric are to deal with.

Hired Mission Electrical Service to wire in a spa at our house in Clairemont. While I called on a few different companies in the area, I was most impressed with this one.
His price was competitive, he was professional, and came highly recommended.
He showed up to quote the work in uniform driving a van w/​decals and license numbers etc. He is not a fly by night operation or a «moonlighter» but a true professional who takes his business serious (I like that). Wouldn’t trust my house or safety of my kids (they play in the spa) with anyone else.
A fantastic job and a super clean install with the wiring and conduit well hidden.
I’m hiring him again in a few weeks to install outside lighting on the patio.
We have a new electrician!

Tim saved my bacon. Had an electrical anomaly I couldn’t figure out — he came out after hours and fixed it. He was helpful and prompt, and didn’t treat me like an idiot (a problem I’ve had with other repair personnel in the past)
I would certainly recommend him to anyone out there who needs electrical work.
