Laughlin Electric Santa Barbara icon checklist Electrical FAQs

Choosing a local electrician should come down to more than availability or price. You're trusting someone with your home or property, so it's important to find a professional team that stands behind their work and values. Look for:

  • Licensing and certifications
  • Reputation
  • Approach
  • Transparency

These are standards we’ve focused on at Laughlin Electric for over 30 years.

Wiring fees can vary depending on the scope of work and whether you're wiring a new space or updating existing systems. At Laughlin Electric, we provide clear and detailed proposals so you know what to expect before any work begins.

Installation costs depend on the project's size and the type of equipment being installed. A new build or remodel with multiple circuits, lighting zones, and smart features will require more planning and labor than a simpler setup. We provide clear pricing with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what’s involved before work begins.

It depends on the issue. Some repairs are straightforward, like replacing a faulty outlet. Other jobs, such as diagnosing a breaker that keeps tripping or addressing panel problems, can take more time. We start by identifying the cause, then we’ll explain the fix and the cost before getting started.

Faulty wiring should always be handled by a licensed electrician. They’ll inspect the system, identify the cause, and make sure the repair is handled safely. At Laughlin Electric, we take the time to do the job right so the fix lasts.

A full electrical system check every 3 to 5 years is a good guideline. For older properties or homes with recent upgrades, more frequent inspections may be needed. Staying on top of maintenance keeps your electrical system safe, up to code, and running smoothly.

If you’ve noticed flickering lights or breakers that trip frequently, it’s best to have them inspected sooner.

    Everyone at Laughlin Electric went above and beyond the call of duty. I had an emergency electrical situation and they were there immediately and stayed until absolutely everything was completed., even an expedited permit from the city. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

    We recently had Bob’s team install some LED lights at my office. There must have been over 40 lights that required an update. Team Laughlin did an amazing job with the install. The whole office was happy with the work. Thank you!

    If you are like me, you place a very high value on great service. Like me, you might also feel customer service levels from all types of businesses have plummeted since the pandemic. Not so with Laughlin Electric who from first contact to job completion exhibited the highest levels of service, communication, expertise and professionalism. Dan and Cody came to my house to take on a few projects, including hanging my flat screen on the wall. This included disappearing all related wiring. I had no idea how this could be done, but the highly skilled duo quickly conceived of a plan and got to work. Nearing completion, a vexing internet connectivity problem arose. It seemed insurmountable, and I thought the fiber company would have to come the next day to repair. But with resourcefulness, resolve and genius troubling shooting the team got everything to work perfectly. The entire experience reassured me that there are still great companies with great employees who really take care of their customers. I couldn't be happier.

    Gabby customer service girl was fanstic on the phone and was able to get a electrican within less than two hours. Lucas was able to localize the issue. He also consulted with the Bob the owner who also assisted to identify a major electrical problem and remained to provide additional contacts since the problem appeared to be generated from the source. I will be contacting PGE within a day to arrange repairs.

    I recently had Laughlin work on my new house. Well, new to me… it’s a hundred years old. Cody and Dan spent a week replacing knob-and-tube wiring, modernizing all the outlets, replacing and adding light fixtures, expanding the breaker box, and making sure the system is safe and up to date. Cody even managed to get the original doorbell functioning. A great job and great guys, and I’m really happy with how well it went. Thanks!
