Electrical work in Salinas runs from a dead outlet to a 200-amp panel swap, and the electricians in Salinas on this page have logged more than 210 Google reviews between them, none rated below 4.7. Not one lists a street address on Google, so each works as a service-area business: you reach them by phone or request form, not by driving to a shop.

Torres Electric has the deepest review history on this page (4.7 from more than 55 reviews), and Jorge Partida Electric Inc. and Fehn Electric are also rated 5.0. Reviewers describe jobs like meter and panel changes, but none of the businesses here publishes prices, so get a written estimate first.

How the scores work

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the business, compared with the other electricians in Salinas we found. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 from a few dozen reviews carries less weight than the same score from hundreds. Recency reflects how recently people are still reviewing. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What does an electrician cost in Salinas?

None of the businesses here publishes prices, and the reviews give almost no figures. Price depends on the job: a panel upgrade needs permits and utility coordination, an EV charger needs conduit runs and a dedicated circuit, and a small repair is mostly diagnosis time. Ask for an itemized written estimate, which several reviewers say they received.

Electricians serving Salinas and Monterey County

These electricians work as service-area businesses, so none lists a shop address on Google. Their sites and reviews point to Salinas, the Salinas Valley and the rest of Monterey County, and Coastal Power Electric also lists San Benito and Santa Cruz counties. Looking for an electrician near you in Salinas? Call first and confirm they take jobs at your address.

What to ask before you hire an electrician

Are you licensed and insured in California, and can I see the license number?
Will you take a job at my Salinas address, and how soon can you come?
Can you pull the permit and coordinate with PG&E if the job needs a meter or service change?
Is the estimate itemized, with labor separate from parts?
Will you leave the work area clean and send an invoice by email?

Frequently asked questions

Which of these Salinas electricians have installed EV chargers?

Reviewers describe EV charger work at Monterey Electric Systems (a home charger outlet and a Tesla charger), Jorge Partida Electric (a charger in a condo) and Fehn Electric (a Tesla Wall Connector and a car charger). Ask whichever you call about your panel capacity first.

Google lists no street address for any of them, so each is a service-area business. Monterey Electric Systems, Coastal Power Electric and Fehn Electric say on their sites that they serve Salinas, while Jorge Partida Electric’s site is written for Monterey and the Peninsula.

Who handles PG&E paperwork for a panel or ADU job?

Reviewers of Coastal Power Electric describe PG&E coordination and permits on a panel upgrade and an ADU, and a Fehn Electric reviewer describes the firm scheduling the PG&E power cutoff and the city inspection for a panel replacement.

Can I book a Salinas electrician on a Saturday?

Google lists Saturday hours for Monterey Electric Systems, Torres Electric and Fehn Electric, and Fehn’s own site mentions weekend appointments at regular rates. Confirm the day when you call.

Who to call first

Monterey Electric Systems is the first call on a 5.0 rating and plenty of EV charger and small-job praise, while Torres Electric has the most reviews behind it.
