Lightner Electric

Lightner Electric takes on electrical work around Barstow. They handle panel upgrades and repairs when power fails at homes or businesses. Reviewers note Scott responding to outages after regular hours and getting systems running again fast. The company also fields calls for estimates on bigger jobs like service changes.

Customers talk about getting multiple bids on panel work and seeing lower prices from this crew. One job finished with results better than expected, and another reviewer said the work came out ahead of what was promised on two separate projects. Scott reached a house in twenty minutes during an outage that the utility could not handle, then had everything fixed inside fifteen minutes. Fees came across as fair in the accounts that mention cost.

Response times vary in the feedback. Some calls led to quick arrivals and solid preparation on site. Others describe waits of over two weeks with no return call after an initial request, and the same pattern showed up for a business owner trying to book service. One customer later received an apology for the delay even after a year had passed.

The Google rating sits at 4 from 12 reviews, though scores range from full marks on quality and speed to low marks on getting any reply at all. Recurring notes cover reasonable charges when the crew shows up and strong results on completed repairs. DIRT Score 2.6 from 12 reviews on Finds.

“Received a couple quotes for a new panel upgrade. They beat everyone out of the water. The job was done beyond my expectations thank you. Look forward to working with you guys on the next project. 🔥🔥🚀”

“The folks at O’Brien Electric has done two jobs for me. On both occasions the quality of work exceeded my .expectations. They were on time, well prepared, and very professional. The results were top notch. I would recommend them highly. And, by the way, their fees are very reasonable.”

“About a year ago I left a review stating I could not get them to call me back with an appt. I wanted to edit it but could not figure out how. Today he reached out to me to apologize for not getting back to me. I really appreciate that even after all this time, he still reached out and was very sincere. For that, I would definitely give them a second chance.”

“I called on Feb. 5th, 2019 to schedule an estimate appt. Was told he needed to check his schedule and would get back to me. Today is Feb. 22nd and still have not heard back. A few days ago I reached out through their website requesting an appt. Again, no reply. My friend had same experience when she tried to get them to do work for her business. Would love to give them a try but getting them to come out seems impossible.”

“O'Brien electric is a godsend. Scott was able to come out after hours to help out. Power went out to our house, called socal Edison but they weren't able to fix the issue. I called O'Brien electric and he was able to come out in 20 minutes versus Edison's 2 hours. Scott had the problem fixed and repaired in 15 minutes. This is the man to call for your home or business.”
