Citywide Electric reviews

Nisha worked with Angel on a home electrical project and came away impressed by how quickly he handled the job. What stood out most was the way he didn’t just finish the install—he also stepped in with practical ideas when she asked about other upgrades around the house, the kind of guidance that comes from years on the job. The pricing felt strong too, and the experience left her already looking back to City First Electric for future projects.

Kyle arranged for the company to come out through his home warranty to handle a small electrical repair at his house. He waited three weeks, placed five calls that went unanswered, and learned from the warranty provider that the job wouldn’t be covered unless he still wanted the company to do it. When he called back the firm issued a surprisingly high quote. He asked for the manager who handles bids to call and reconsider the price because of the delay; a week passed with no return call, and a later promise to call back also evaporated. The home warranty ultimately refunded him because of the long wait. Nearly six weeks later he hired a licensed electrician with a much higher rating who finished the straightforward job for about half the original quote. He never really got to judge the company’s workmanship — what stuck with him was the repeated silence and the inflated price that proved unnecessary.

Paolo I. booked City First Electric through his American Home Shield warranty after losing power in two upstairs rooms and a toilet. He paid a $100 service call, and the technician arrived, spent about 15 minutes, then left saying he couldn’t locate the problem and that drywall would have to be opened to find the short — a repair the warranty company told Paolo wasn’t covered. Paolo went back to check himself and discovered the fault in an electrical box in the corridor leading to those rooms, a box the tech hadn’t inspected. He ended up out $100 with the outage still unresolved by the crew, and the lasting detail that stands out is how an accessible junction box was skipped while a more invasive, non-covered fix was suggested.

Amro E. has relied on City First for many years. He found their service consistently excellent and the electricians clearly skilled at their craft. He also appreciated the reasonable pricing, and kept calling them back because the quality of the work matched the cost. The detail that stands out is that reliable, competent crews and fair prices have kept him as a repeat customer over time.

David ended up with a smooth solar job that never turned into a headache. Pedro, the technician on site, handled the work well, and the whole install moved along cleanly without hassles getting in the way.

Diep had a CGFI issue that needed quick attention, and Tim came in with the kind of steady know-how that got it handled right away. The part that stood out most was how fast he diagnosed and fixed the problem once he was on site. The frustration came before the repair: the available appointment windows were a four-hour stretch, which made it hard to be home during a standard Monday-through-Friday work schedule. The experience ended with the electrical issue solved, but with a clear reminder that weekend appointment options would make the process far easier for working homeowners.

Ken and his household ran into a dead outlet and started by calling their warranty provider, Liberty Home Guard, which brought in City First Electric to handle the repair. A friendly receptionist got them on the schedule for the very next day, and Angel showed up right on time. He quickly traced the problem to a bad component, swapped it out, and left the system working normally again. What stands out here is how fast the fix moved from a warranty call to a same-day diagnosis and a simple repair that got everything back on track.

John got City First Electric through his home warranty, and the standout of the visit was Angel, the electrician assigned to troubleshoot the problem. In a home setting where a technician can feel like a stranger passing through, Angel immediately put him at ease: he took off his shoes without being asked, listened closely to the issues, and never gave off the sense that he was in a hurry. He tracked down the fault, corrected it, and took the time to explain what had gone wrong, leaving John with the sense that the repair had been handled by someone both skilled and thoughtful.

Jewel was left stuck in the middle of a frustrating electrical dispute after First American denied her claim based on a diagnosis from one of City First Electric’s electricians. Her home’s service keeps cutting out, and with a medical device that has to stay plugged in around the clock, the stakes were far higher than a routine repair. First American had already sent electricians out two or three times, but the assessments kept missing the mark and never led to a satisfactory fix for her aging electrical system. To sort it out, she brought in her own electrician for a second opinion. That visit changed the picture: he concluded the panel did not need to be upgraded to 200 amps and wasn’t overloaded at all. Instead, he found that the existing 100-amp setup was simply too old and needed replacement with a newer 100-amp unit. He put that diagnosis in writing and sent it to First American, leaving Jewel still waiting for someone to finally address the power issues that affect her daily life.
