About

Cesar Electric takes care of electrical work around Reseda. They handle whole house surge protection installs at the main panel, track down and replace bad start capacitors on air conditioning units that trip breakers, repair power issues in home offices, put in recessed lighting, and mount smoke detectors. The company stays focused on these kinds of residential jobs and shows up with the tools needed to measure loads and swap parts on the spot.

Homeowners describe calling after storms knocked out electronics and getting surge protection added to guard appliances. One job involved an air conditioning compressor pulling too many amps on a 40 amp breaker during hot afternoons, where the fix was swapping the failing capacitor and confirming steady running current afterward. Another customer had office circuits cutting out during work and saw the power stay steady once the repair wrapped up. Recessed light installs left ceilings looking clean and bright, while smoke detector work got finished the same day it was requested.

They answer calls quickly enough to send someone out the same day, arrive when promised, and keep the job moving without extra steps or delays. Communication stays direct so the homeowner knows what was found and what got fixed. Work happens in Reseda and nearby spots, with jobs completed in reasonable time and systems left reliable afterward.

Reviews keep pointing to fast arrivals, accurate fixes on breakers and installs, and clean results that hold up. The company earns steady marks for handling these electrical problems without complications. DIRT Score 4.5 from 75 reviews on Finds.

What Customers Say

“We had two electronic devices that were damaged by a recent storm in our home, and so we opted to get whole-house surge protection. The electrician had the system installed around the panel and gave an explanation of "how it will help us save our appliances. I know now that our costly electronics have another level of security in place.”

“Our central air conditioning unit started tripping the 40-amp double-pole breaker every afternoon during peak cooling hours last July, and after the third consecutive day of resetting it manually in 95-degree heat I realized this was not a simple nuisance trip but a genuine electrical fault developing inside the system. The electrician measured the actual running amperage of the compressor with a clamp meter and found it was drawing 43 amps at peak load — three amps over the breaker's continuous rating — traced the overcurrent to a failing start capacitor that was forcing the compressor motor to draw excessive current on every startup cycle, replaced the capacitor, and confirmed the running amperage dropped to a stable 34 amps before leaving. The breaker has held through an entire summer of daily cooling cycles without a single trip since the capacitor was replaced, and our home stayed consistently comfortable through the hottest weeks of the season.”

“There was a problem with the electricity in our home office that was interrupting our work and getting to be an annoyer. The repair was done in a reasonable amount of time, and now it has been flawless since. Thanked them for the straightforward approach to communicating and service.”

“The electrical company did a great job with my recessed lights installation. They worked fast and made my ceiling look clean and bright. I’m very happy with their service and will call them again. My recessed lights installation went smoothly.”

“Called this company yesterday, and they had an electrician out the same day for my smoke detector installation. He showed up right on time, fully prepared with everything needed, and got the job done without any hassle. Very professional service from start to finish. Definitely recommend them to everyone!”
