I had a great experience with Golden Electrical from start to finish to install an EV charger and install phone lines in our office. Oscar helped me out and his communication was great. He took the time to explain everything clearly, making sure I fully understood the work that needed to be done and all of my available options. Scheduling was quick and easy, which I really appreciated. Everyone I interacted with was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. You can tell they really care about their customers and take pride in their work. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy electrical company! Thank you guys!

Highly recommend Golden Electrical Vanguard. Angel and Gerardo are fantastic. They did a tricky pendant installation in a paneled ceiling with no existing hookup, added an outlet for a drawer microwave, and generator hookup too. Everything has been done thoughtfully, cleanly, and professionally. They’re skilled, reliable, and have been great to work with
