Charles Jablecki says, "I have had three excellent experiences with Kensington Electric.Kensington Electric meet all of the three A's of great service - available, able and affable. I had them install a wired Ring camera on a pilaster and replace two old Ring cameras on house fascia all for outside surveillance. Most recently John replaced an old toggle switch for overhead lighting. The Kensington electricians arrive on time and worked efficiently. I highly recommend them.Charles J, San Diego"See more

Randi R. says, "⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot recommend this electrician highly enough. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. He was always on time, professional, polite, and communicative. What was originally quoted as a two-day job turned into a much more complex four-day project once the work began and it became clear that the project was far more involved than expected. Despite that, he never cut corners, remained positive throughout, and stayed focused on doing the job correctly. What impressed me most was his honesty and integrity. Even though the job ultimately took twice as long as originally estimated, he honored his original quote and completed the work to an exceptionally high standard. The scope of work was extensive. He installed new lighting in the living room and master bedroom, replaced all of the existing can lights throughout the house so they matched the new recessed lighting, replaced a broken ceiling fan, installed fan/light combinations in multiple bedrooms, and installed a large 6-foot ceiling fan on an 18-foot ceiling. All of these locations had no existing wiring, so he ran all of the new electrical himself and installed fixtures where no fixtures had previously existed. He also took incredible care of my home. Any holes that needed to be cut into walls or ceilings to run wiring were patched, filled with drywall, and left ready for finishing. It is rare to find a contractor who pays that much attention to both the quality of the work and the condition of the home afterward. As an added bonus, he was wonderful about working around my dogs and was always respectful of my home and my schedule. Finding a contractor who is skilled, honest, reliable, and takes genuine pride in his work is not easy. This electrician exceeded every expectation I had. I will absolutely be hiring him again for additional electrical projects, including replacing outlets and updating more fixtures throughout the house. If you're looking for an electrician you can trust, look no further. Five stars without hesitation. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"See more

Moises did a great job on installing lights on my new property. 14 Recessed lights, 2 decorative lights, garage LED panel ceiling lights and 3 front exterior and security cameras. He came back today to install exterior lights in my backyard - I’ll update when the job is done. He pays extra attention on aesthetics and takes pride in how it will look.

Eric was so great! He gave me a reasonable bid on the work and he went above and beyond once he got here to do the job.

He put in three ceiling fans, a front porch light, and a motion sensor security light at my side door. He also changed out some switches and an outlet.

He was efficient, nice, trustworthy, and great at his craft. He's who I'll call when I need anything electrical done around the house. I highly recommend him!

Installed 2 motion sensor security lights where none previously existed and did an excellent job. He did a thorough review of the work to be done in advance and gave us a quote at a much better price than I received from other electricians. We definitely plan to use Mathews' Electric again for other projects we want to accomplish. Thank you!!

Saul is an experienced and highly skilled professional. He installed my security cameras and floodlights with great attention to detail, and his knowledge and expertise were evident throughout the entire project. I received estimates from several other professionals, but Saul stood out because he offered the most practical solutions with the least hassle.

Despite working in extremely hot weather, he completed the installation efficiently and maintained a high level of professionalism from start to finish. Once the work was complete, he thoroughly tested all the devices to ensure everything was functioning correctly. He also fixed a defective electrical outlet for a reasonable additional charge.

I tested the floodlights that night, and they worked perfectly. Saul is courteous, reliable, and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend him for any electrical work, including security camera and lighting installations.

Sebastian updated lights and added app-controlled smart switches with wireless 3-way switches, he also designed and installed Ring devices (doorbell, security floodlight) to start us on the path of a smart home. His work was highly professional, he communicated effectively and kept his work area clean. When needed he asked me critical design questions, providing options. I highly recommend working with Sebastian and I have already recommended him to several people—look forward to hiring him again.
