YC Electric

We just moved into our house and had an outlet that needed to be changed– a quick job. We called a lot of electricians, and from the start, Yi was the most responsive, most flexible and best price. He was professional, knowledgable, and super nice! We will be calling (or rather texting!) Yi for all of our electrical needs in the future. We highly recommend using YC! Thanks, Yi!

You worry when you only read good reviews, and so many good reviews. Are they for real or fake? We waited over two months for the electrician we originally selected to start and finally gave up and started looking again. (we are so glad the first electrician did not work out)
We needed the typical things done in a basement remodel — outlets, lights, light switches, a few outdoor lights… but our main concern was we had a heavy up done about 10 years ago. It was fine but a huge mess. Yi was the only electrician (out of maybe a dozen) willing to clean it up. He also had to clean up a lot of other wiring (junction boxes — hopefully I am saying it correctly). We are so thrilled with how he and Hung did everything, especially the main panel. It was not an simple task. He is also adding a generator switch as well. He has a few things to finish but we are so thrilled with his work.
We were completely stuck on our remodel without an electrician. Yi made the process so easy. Yi and Hung worked two long days starting at 8 am and impressively got done the majority of the work and everything is very clean and nicely done. He had my husband smiling at the work when he was going over with him what he did. Yi spent a lot of time talking us through what he wanted to do, talking to us about his and other’s estimates (his was higher, but he was also doing significantly more work, so the quotes were not really comparable). He also came in with all the supplies he needed and was very prepared. He is the first contractor we felt comfortable enough handing over the project and not feeling like we had to constantly micromanage or provide support.
The negative: Last night my husband commented he may want Yi to do a few more things upstairs that he promised to do as he was so pleased with the work done. This project is costing us far more due than we hoped to Yi’s quality of work and willingness to do work others in the past declined and reasonable pricing. We are way over what we hoped to spend on the electrical due to all the add ons, but it is money well spent.
Thanks Yi and Hung. We know we have told you many times how much we appreciate you both, but just wanted to write a review to help with your continued success.

I was selling a house in Hyattsville that needed a number of electrical fixes for the inspection, and my brother suggested Yi. I was a little anxious about all of this since I live in Niagara Falls, New York, and having work done on that house was always something of a gamble! Yi went the extra mile to get the work done perfectly, timely, and at a very reasonable cost. Yi is not just a fine electrician, he’s a great guy who you know you can rely on. I’d recommend him highly for any electrical job you have.

YC Electric will definitely be my go to company for electrical work and I would have no issues recommending to others.
I was hopeful based on all of the five star reviews but was still kind of skeptical.
Needless to say there was no reason for skeptism. Yi is a true professional and does quality work. From the way that he communicates by phone, e-​mail or text. To considering the overall look, function and aesthetics of things.
He literally pulled into our street on the dot of the time specified. And left no trace of being here other than the newly installed items even though the work involved cutting holes, running wires and getting behind siding. And the installed items passed inspection with no issues. Couldn’t ask for more.
Thanks again Yi!

How can i say Yi/​YC Eletric! I would highly recommend to anyone. I called Yi and told him my situation with the lighting of my restaurant sign lights blowing out every 2months «he stated that the ballast needed replacement and i needed to Contact a sign company». It took a week and i couldnt find a sign company to help. I went ahead and contacted Yi again «told me he will do it and that he didnt have the equipment to do the repair of light at a certain building height level. but that he was able to Obtain the eqiument to do the job». Then i decided to buy the ballast to have it ready not knowing i had purchased the incorrect one until Yi came the day of the repair. At the end of the day he made it work. His Knowledge and professionalism and assistance was really great. Forsure ill keep him our Electrican. Best in Town

Another thrilled customer. Yi upgraded our service panel, which proved to be a complicated job due to our house being in a historic district and our conduit collapsing during Pepco’s feeble attempts to connect our power. Yi kept at them and got the job done. I wouldn’t call anyone else for electrical work.

Great to work with and well experience. Clean installs and respectful.

Yi is amazing! He’s honest, professional, and down-​to-​earth. I called him on a Monday morning to schedule him to come over sometime for the week and he came over at four o’clock exactly that afternoon, like he said he would. He is an excellent communicator– through texts, phone calls and voicemails — he’s very professional! I would highly recommend him!!;

When my BH wanted recessed lighting installed in our Master Bedroom suite, I was nervous first about cost & also the process. So, I did what every homeowner — who lives in an area saturated with electricians — would do… I did my homework. I courted estimates from independent electricians, contractors, & well-​rated local electrical companies. I read about the specifics of getting the recessed lighting in there (doing it myself versus hiring a licensed electrician). So, by the time I found Yi, I knew exactly what I needed and wanted. Not only was Yi incredibly professional from the moment we began communicating, it was clear that he is a business owner who is very knowledgeable and skilled. Working with Yi was seamless — he made it so easy! Not only was his pricing extremely fair & reasonable, he worked hard to earn & keep my business. The whole process was well-​described to me & went exactly as he explained. He went above & beyond in answering my multiple questions in the days before the install & spent extra time on the day the work was being performed to explain things & handle fixing another unexpected electrical control issue — completely complimentary. What a guy. Yi is saved in my phone because he’ll be the only one I call for all my residential electrical needs.

We recently purchased an older home and were in need of an electrician for some lighting needs around the house. We were new to the area and stumbled upon Yi through his amazing Unilocal reviews. Yi is extremely responsive (and bonus, this includes email and text) and was able to come out to our house the next day.
Yi is courteous, punctual, and does great work. His attention to detail is meticulous and he even went out of his way to hand paint a portion of one of our lights that didn’t quite match. His prices are reasonable, he provides you with options, and he follows up a few days after the work is completed to make sure you are satisfied. Everything he has done in our house is perfect and we even called him back a second time for additional work. I wish Yi was also a plumber, general contractor, etc so I could use him for everything in my house.

Whew! Where do I start? I emailed Yi in a panic because I had just bought a new house and ended up in a runaround with Pepco — they insisted that they HAD turned on the electricity, I was in a cold dark house. Finally Pepco told me that I needed to get an electrician because clearly the problem wasn’t with them, it was with the house.
I explained all this to Yi who went to my house, in the rain (!!), the same day I contacted him. He checked out the meter and confirmed that the problem was with Pepco — and that I also had water intrusion in my circuit breaker box (!!!), something that did not show up during the inspection.
Thanks to his assessment, I was finally able to get Pepco to send a crew out to fix the problem. Yi fixed the water leakage issue with the circuit box, which I’m sure I would never have known about until it became very dangerous. And I think his price was quite reasonable. Highly recommend.

Yi is wonderful, efficient, professional, and very passionate about his work! His communication was prompt and clear, and he was willing to be flexible with scheduling. I had track lighting removed, 11 recessed lights installed, and changed the fixture over the front door. His work is excellent and we could not be happier with the new lighting in our home. It has completely transformed the space. His pricing is very fair and he was also very careful about minimizing damage to the walls and ceiling and took to time to cover all of our furniture and surfaces to minimize the need for thorough dusting later. No question, I would recommend Yi and will not hesitate to reach out to him in the future if the need should arise.
A million thanks to Yi!

Had to get a new outlet to sync-​in with my treadmill after it broke down on me and needed it done as soon as practicable. The first person I reached out to was a referral, but never heard back from them when they said they were calling me the next business day. The second person I found was YC Electric which had positive reviews through Unilocal,and I couldn’t be happier as they stand by these reviews to a tee. Very professional manner, timely correspondence, and knowledgeable, they were able to fix our dilemma within a matter of 2 days. I definitely endorse YC and will be looking fwd to doing business with them once I run into these issues in the future!

Yi and his associate, Hong, installed 4 recessed lights in the study area and a new light fixture in the master bedroom and both jobs were done beautifully. They did a very clean job with the recessed lights and spaced the lights out perfectly so that it was evenly spread out. The light fixture I had bought was difficult to install due to some design issues that I was unaware of but Yi and his associate worked hard and was able to install it.
Overall, I had a great experience working with Yi and Hong and will definitely be calling them again with any lighting/​electric issues in the future! Yi is very responsive by text and/​or email and was able to stop by to give a quote in a very short time frame. He was also able to schedule the installation promptly and got the job done very efficiently.
Thanks for the great service!

Yi and his team were extremely attentive and easily accessible. They were able to work me into a busy schedule rather quickly. I asked for a price quote and he was able to come see what I needed about 2 hours later! The service was everything everyone had noted in prior reviews and I am extremely happy with the work done (new recessed outlet for hidden cables on a mounted television). I would highly recommend YC Electric and already have to many friends and coworkers! Thanks Yi!

Wow — what a find! Absolutely the best electrician I have ever come across. I would recommend to family and friends without hesitation. I didn’t realize such professionals still existed.

My mother-​in-​law is EXTREMELY satisfied with the service she received!!! She’ll definitely do business with them again (and recommend them!)

I contacted Yi of YC Electrical on 8÷17÷15 as I was in a desperate situation. My new tenants were moving in to my DC condo in a few days and I just became aware that the old renters had blown out a GFI electrical outlet in my bathroom which in turn fried the breaker. Yi responded within minutes to my text and then found a way to fit me in to his very busy schedule ON THE SAME DAY I contacted him. Of course I needed to be flexible with my schedule so I could meet up with him at the condo. He came on time, diagnosed the issue, didn’t bamboozle me and fixed the problem all within 30 minutes. He is a very legit professional.
I don’t need an electrician all that often but when I do, Yi is the man. I will highly recommend him to anyone in need of an excellent electrician. Oh, and his prices were better than everyone else I called with similar 5 star Unilocal reviews. BAM! How is that for a bonus? He deserves way more than five stars. He made what could have been a painful experience effortless. Thanks Yi!

Based on a good referral from some neighbors, we hired Yi for a heavy up plus adding a few outlets. He was very prompt in coming out to look at our panel and in providing a quote. I checked one more reference and then we proceeded.
One of the things he is particularly good at is communicating, by phone, text, and email. And in person — he explained what he would be doing quite clearly and in detail. Many contractors are not so good at this, so this was a plus.
But what about the work? First, he showed me where he was going to run the wire for the new outlet and where he was going to bring the new service line into the house. We were very pleased with the neatness of the installation and the cleanup.
The Montgomery County inspector actually remarked on how good the wiring job in the panel was (the wiring is straight and clean and really looks great — if you take the panel off to look at it).
We would use YC again, without a doubt.

Yi was amazing! I took him around the house and showed him several things that needed fixing. He was professional and prompt, even seeing additional things that were problematic.
His rate was reasonable and we are 100 percent satisfied. It’s fun to walk into our house with everything working great.
