view testimonials review this company
Finding a first-rate electrician who stands by his work is a priority for anyone concerned about the safety of their loved ones and home. Since 1988, Paul Wegner of family-owned Santa Monica Electric has provided a standard of workmanship and quality control that will set your mind at ease.
Paul has cultivated a reputation of being a man of integrity. He keeps his rates competitive and hires workers who won’t take advantage of a homeowner’s lack of electrical knowledge. “People often don’t know what an electrician is doing. The work is mostly hidden in the walls. We assess the situation, explain exactly what we are doing, and never do anything in excess.”
Paul and his staff can handle any size of project. “There’s no job I won’t do,” Paul asserts. He derives as much pride from having wired lights in the Santa Monica Loew’s Hotel as helping a single mom with her living room lighting plan. “The name of the game is making people happy,” Paul enthuses. “We respect our clients. That means being on time or letting them know if we are running late. It also means leaving the workspace clean. In our line of work, people would see the mess more than the work itself!”
Paul intends to keep the business in the family for many years to come. As he trains his son, Brett, Paul tries to pass on the same work ethic his father taught him: “If you do the work right the first time, you’ll never have to do it twice.”
Tip: If you have any power fluctuations, light flickering, or crackling in the outlets, call an electrician or the utility company immediately to avoid a fire.
Paul did fantastic work. He was able to fix all of our problems with great speed and efficiency. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an electrician. He has been one of the best people we've worked with so far since moving into our new home.

I had to have a new electric panel in my 1958 home and I called Paul to do it. It was old and needed to be removed and replaced. Paul labeled everything and we passed inspection. He was on time and cleaned up everything.

We found Santa Monica Electric through neighbor2neighbor.
Paul Wegner worked on an addition to our house, an office. He had to remove the main house panel to the addition. He is professional and punctual. He knows all the rules and regulations and got us through the inspections, making sure that we got what we wanted. He does good work, his prices are market-fair, everything works and he cleaned up. And Paul is full of wonderful advice!

Paul came out to do outside electrical work for our patio. He is very responsible, knowledgeable and reasonable. The work was excellent. I would use him again in a heartbeat!
- Teri Sachs, Brentwood
They were prompt and fixed exactly what needed to be done even though it wasn't an electric problem. Turns out it was a wire for our security system. Great service. Thanks again for the referral. We are considering a full electrical overhaul on our house and I will definitely call them again.

I manage office and condo buildings and I’ve used Paul’s company for years. He’s worked on big jobs and small repairs for me. He has a very fair hourly rate, and he’s a local institution – born and raised in Santa Monica. He’s dependable, organized and very honest.

I’m a general contractor and Paul does about 80% of my electrical work. I’ve used him for the last 8-10 years. All of his employees are good – I’ve never had a complaint. He also works well with designers, architects and homeowners. He’s very nice and approachable. His prices are very competitive. I highly recommend him. He’s at the top of my subcontractors list.
