“Sebastian and his colleague did an excellent job installing three GFCI outlets in my bathrooms. Their work was extremely precise, and no drywall repair was needed. They were also very considerate about keeping costs down by choosing the most efficient wiring approach. Overall,...”

“Six high bay lights in our lobby. Chris was very careful and covered the tile floor to ensure the lift did not cause any damage. Even went the extra step to make sure the lights were clean and the ceiling insulation was repainted flat black.”

Keil Electric

A licensed electrician

Licensed electrician walks every job. Veteran-owned, family-run.

Permits pulled and inspections coordinated when required by the AHJ

5/10-year + lifetime warranty in writing. Parts and labor. Transfers with the home.

Fully insured + workers' comp on every crew

The price you sign is the price you pay

A handyman

Unlicensed for electrical

No state electrical license. Can do simple swaps but not panel work, rewires, or service upgrades.

No permits. Work won't pass inspection if the city audits it later.

No structured warranty. "Call me if something breaks" isn't enforceable.

If something they did causes a fire, your homeowner's insurance can deny the claim.

Cash discount may show up on the invoice.

DIY

Doing it yourself

Cheap, but only if everything goes right. Most electrical work involves load calc, code, and permitting.

A failed inspection means redoing the work. Selling the home later, the buyer's inspector flags it.

No warranty if something fails. Replacement is on you.

Live wiring is a real safety hazard. Most fatal home electrical accidents are DIY.

If you know what you're doing, fine. If you don't, call us first.

Does Keil Electric do general electrical repairs in La Mesa?

Standard service-call repair work is billed by hour plus parts. We tell you the diagnostic and labor rate before work starts. If the repair turns into a larger scope, the diagnosis time applies against the bigger job and the price is in writing before the bigger work begins.

How fast can you get out for a repair?

Non-emergency repairs are typically scheduled within 24 to 48 hours. Drive time is typically 25 to 50 minutes from our Santee dispatch point depending on the part of La Mesa and I-8 conditions.

What about old aluminum wiring?

Aluminum branch wiring (typically 1965-1973 era) is a known issue. We do not do partial repair on aluminum runs without flagging the larger replacement scope.
