B&M Electric

B&M Electric Fully licensed and insured residential and commercial electricians, serving the South Bay. Slowly they started getting busier by word of mouth referrals.

B&M Electric was started by a farther & son team, Bill & Mike Bishop, over 30 years ago. They were both electricians for large companies and they would do side jobs together for family and friends. They got to a point that they were busy enough to leave their full time jobs and work for themselves by starting B&M Electric. In 1989 Mike Bishop hired Charles Vargas and was a great teacher & mentor.

14 Years later, in 2003, Mike Bishop retired and Charles Vargas purchased the company. Today it is still our goal to treat all of our clients like family by providing the best customer service and price. We pride ourselves on being the Best at what we do and we look forward to many more years of providing top notch service in the South Bay. "Bright Ideas to Light Up Your Life"

Serving the South Bay for over 35 years with the highest quality of customer service. Owner: Charles Vargas Jr

Summer in the South Bay = your electrical system working overtime. ⚡
Here's what a lot of homeowners don't think about: AC running 8+ hours a day, pool pump, outdoor string lights, refrigerators, and now EV chargers, that's a massive increase in your home's electrical demand.

If your panel is old or undersized, this is when problems happen. Breakers tripping? Outlets getting warm? Don't ignore those signs.

✅ Keeps your home and family safe
