Dan Richards Electric

Local Electricians, Contractors & Companies in Los Angeles

August 12, 2016

“I used Dan Richards Electric to upgrade my completely outdated original 1956 breaker box. We upgraded to one that could handle 2 home businesses and an industrial grade a/c unit. My husband and I were very grateful for their professionalism and the education we received about breaker boxes and the code requirments. We no longer worry about our breakers going off and all my husband's music and server data being lost. Highly recommended.”

“Excellent service. USA electric installed some landscape lights and patio lights in my house as part of my back yard remodeling. The light designed by their electrician was very professional and so the job itself. I am very happy with the result and ready for the next project - recessed lights in my kitchen . I highly recommend . Mark L. Tarzana, CA”
