Paul, originally from the UK, has worked as an electrician since the early 1980s and has lived through decades of La Crescenta's fires and PSPS shutoffs himself. He and his wife Lesley run Raymond Electrical together — Paul leads every install personally, Lesley runs the business side.
Raymond Electrical is a certified Generac dealer & Tesla-listed EV installer. When the grid goes down, we keep your home powered — through outages, PSPS shutoffs, and fire season, since the 1980s.
"Paul is terrific. My 15-year-old Generac generator had failed, and he got it running perfectly again. We recommend him for any electrical work."
"I was referred to Raymond Electrical since they're an authorized Tesla-trained electrician in the Tesla app. Paul responded the same day, came out to quote the Tesla Wall Charger, and gave me a separate quote for some extra lighting work too — all within my budget."
"I've used this company for electrical work at my home and apartment units and have always been impressed. Paul installed a whole-house generator a few years ago and has handled the annual maintenance ever since — always on time, and his prices are fair and reasonable."
Had a good experience with us? We'd love to hear about it.
