Excellent work, very professional and great communication between the office, electrician and me. Edgar diagnosed a faulty wiring problem while replacing all of my 10-year old smoke detectors, explaining why that one detector needed frequent battery changes. Highly recommend this company and I will absolutely use them for all future work.Posted on Google![]()

Miguel Abraham JrTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
After the first electrician I hired for my ADU turned into a nightmare, a good friend recommended Edgar, the owner of Coastal Power Electric Inc., and I’m glad he did. From day one, Edgar took charge and made the entire process stress free. He worked directly with PG&E, handled everything they needed, and kept me updated every step of the way. He also found several mistakes the previous electrician had missed and fixed them the right way. It’s hard to find someone who is honest, knowledgeable, responsive, and truly cares about doing quality work, but Edgar is exactly that. I highly recommend Coastal Power Electric Inc. If you’re looking for an electrician you can trust, this is the company to call. I’ll definitely be using Edgar and his team again for future projects.Posted on Google![]()

Edgar and his team did an outstanding job upgrading the electrical service at my warehouse. They removed the old, outdated 100-amp panel and installed a new 200-amp panel, and the entire process was smooth from start to finish. The communication throughout the project was excellent. Edgar kept me informed every step of the way, whether it was regarding the permit process or coordinating with PG&E. He and his team handled everything professionally, making the entire experience stress-free. I never had to wonder what was happening because they kept me updated the whole time. The quality of their workmanship was top-notch, and it’s clear they take pride in what they do. If you’re looking for a reliable, honest, and knowledgeable electrical contractor, I highly recommend Edgar and his team at Coastal Electric. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again for future electrical projects.Posted on Google![]()
