So helpful in resolving our electrical problems. We needed to either add a meter through the Dwp or just separate the circuits and add a Submeter and I was told all my options, costs, benefits and drawbacks. They have a wealth of knowledge and experience and also helped out one of my tenants who's kitchen light went out right before the holidays and replaced it with an LED. Such a nice company and will definitely be using them in the future!

Edward certainly exceeded my expectations by his ability to solve electrical issues and his willingness to change his schedule to help us out with our problem. I’m not an expert on electricity so please ignore any wrong terminology. Our power circuit blew out and different rooms in the house were affected. I used Thumbtack to find an electrician and Edward responded right away.
The straightforward reason, breaker, appeared to be intact, so the problem was somewhere along the circuit lines. Edward brought with him all the necessary equipment required for diagnostics. He was very thorough and explained in details his plan for the repair. He is a great person to talk to. He worked way past regular business hours and stayed until he identified the problem. It was not an easy task but he was able to solve the issue and restore the electricity in our house.
Overall, I was impressed by Edward’s work ethics and his expertise and I would recommend him to anyone who needs an expert electrician.
Torres Electronics was professional, on time, fairly priced and solved a serious electrical issue for me, that had been ongoing for years. I highly recommend Edward. He did a lot more than I expected in the time it took and did it very well. He was professional, reliable and an excellent value for the price. I would definitely recommend him and use him again.

Had a problem with an outlet not charging my wife's car. Ed was professional and friendly. I have had four electricians come out and tell me something I did not need. This included grounding rods and re-wiring of panels and/or the house. Ed took the time to diagnose the problem and showed me everything he was planning on doing. The panel was already grounded and so were the outlets. He fixed the problem and our Volt can now charge. I would strongly recommend him to anyone that is having electrical issues/problems.

Ed was great! He was super communicative from the start and he worked quickly. He could have easily taken advantage of first time home buyers, but he didn’t. He fixed our issue and we’ll use him if we ever need an electrician again!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I don't have a standard. Every job is different. I normally don't charge for estimates, if I get the job.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to get to know my customers.
I inform them of all the choices they have, I like to give them ideas so they can better determine the outcome of their work.
I inform them of trending materials, such as, wifi connected switches that work with their phones.
hardwired "Ring doorbells" as opposed to rechargeable or battery powered.
Security is very important know a days, so I explain to them how having motion sensor switches help by turning lights on as your pet travels through the house. This way, I makes would be assailants think that someone is home. (These are essential, now that we all work farther from home) I have motion activated switches at my house, and I get calls from my neighbors, telling me they are at the door and thought I was home because certain lights are on.
See, I did I little informing there.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
All the time. I'm an expert pipe bender, high voltage cable splicer, instrumentation and PLC's, CAT IV and CAT VI, running and terminating.
I also do Camers systems, Electric gate openers and I great at trouble shooting AC systems.(when your condenser is not running, its usually not motor failure. its capacitor failure. call me so I can take a look and save you thousands of dollars.)
we have to have a minimum of 32 hours of schooling, every 3 years, to renew our licenses.
