Our Story
Star Electric – Electrical Contractor Across California
Miguel Alvarez started Star Electric from his roots in Los Angeles to deliver straightforward electrical work that holds up under real conditions. He built the company on direct owner involvement, handling every project from initial assessment through final inspection so customers know exactly who is responsible for the outcome.
Operating statewide from the Los Angeles base, the team focuses on the practical realities of California's housing stock and weather patterns. Mild winters and warm dry summers mean different demands on wiring, panels, and outdoor installations, and the crew adjusts methods accordingly rather than applying one-size-fits-all fixes.
- Owner-operated by Miguel Alvarez with direct oversight on every project
- Statewide service from a Los Angeles home base
- Upfront quotes delivered before work begins
- Workmanship available for customer inspection at every stage
- Hours: Mon–Fri 8am–6pm, Sat 9am–2pm

What California Customers Say
“The kitchen lights kept flickering every time the fridge compressor kicked on. Star Electric traced it to a loose neutral in the 1960s panel box, replaced the breaker and the damaged wire run to the island, and now the lights stay steady even with the microwave and coffee maker running.”
“After a heavy rain the garage GFCI outlets stopped working and the exterior flood lights tripped the breaker. They replaced the corroded outdoor box, ran new UF cable from the subpanel, and added a weatherproof cover so the outlets stayed live through the next storm.”
“The bedroom ceiling fan started humming loudly and the wall switch felt warm. They swapped the old pull-chain switch for a quiet fan-rated dimmer, tightened the canopy wiring, and balanced the blades so the fan runs silently on all speeds.”
