"Finally an honest Solar company!! I went through several companies trying to get quotes for one of my properties, either they were ridiculously expensive or they didn't return my calls. A friend of mine referred me to Mega Sun and I have to say I am very pleased. Within a couple days from the initial phone call I already had an estimate and once i decided to go with them the installation was completed in one week. Its been a little over a month since they completed the install and everything is working smoothly.

I was amazed at just how great the customer service was. I just want to say thank you to the whole team who helped out, I really appreciate all your hard work. Now I know you guys are the ones to call for all future jobs."

"Originally, I had some concerns...it took over a week to get someone to come out and give an estimate and during that time, Atlas Electric forgot who I was and I had to remind him 2-3 times what I needed done. There was also confusion as Atlas assumes that their customers will use and respond to SMS messages. However, once the electrician came out, it turned out he was quite reasonable, knowledgeable, responsive, and decently priced. And, followup was very fast. Indeed, the job was done perfectly and I don't think any other electrician would have done a better job. The wiring for the new circuit branches were hidden properly....an effort above and beyond my expectations. New outlets were flush and pristine. Installation of the new wired smoke alarms was also done perfectly and with patience. Discussions of future projects with Atlas Electric went well and I would recommend them to friends. The company just needs to get a better customer management and contact system....unlike other businesses, Atlas doesn't seem to use a call center or receptionist or anyone other than the electrician to respond to requests."

"My experience was outstanding!!  On time, on schedule, under budget, passed City inspection with no issues at all.  Would I recommend and hire again?  Absolutely!!
I was having a solar system installed and needed my electric panel to be upgraded.  I sent inquires to most of the Angieslist electricians and received several responses.  Most replied politely with prices ranging from $1900 to $3000.  Instead of just giving me a "standard price", Pete understood that not every job takes the same amount of work, so he asked for a photo or two of what was I had and what I wanted to be done.  We talked a little, emailed a little, and texted a little.  In the end he gave me a quote for the job, and what would and would not be included (stucco patching).  He's an electrician, not a handyman. This was common amongst all the electricians I received responses from.  
His price was by far the best by at least 25%.  Even having to get my own stucco guy, I was $500 ahead than the next closest quote.  Now, full disclosure....we had time to plan this project out.  To help me save money, I asked if I could pull the City permit. No problem.  This was not an emergency fix. SDGE was taking 3 weeks to schedule disconnects, so we picked the soonest date SDGE could do their thing and he booked it on his schedule.
Day of installation?  Nasty weather.  He could have easily blown it off.  If that had happened, my whole solar install would have slipped and not have made its end of year install deadline. Nope, rain or shine, he was going to be there.  I set up a pop up shelter and it worked out perfect. SDGE disconnected at 8:30 and Pete went to work.  By noon, the panel was in with breakers and all. Now we just needed the City inspector to sign off.  Inspector shows up, and it doesn't take 5 minutes for the approval.  Inspector compliments Pete on the install and professional touches indicating he doesn't get many that are that well done.  It doesn't get any better than that!!
Here's another thing?.,  Codes have changed since the house was built and the electrical installed.   We expected to have to re-do the "cold water bond".   As it turned out, the existing "cold water bond" was sufficient for the new panel.  What did he do?  He lowered the cost of the job.  How many others would have still charged?
SDGE showed up, hooked us back up, and between the two of us had all the breakers figured out to what they controlled.  Start to finish was less than 6 hours. 
I couldn't be happier with the job and outcome.  Pete Aardema knows what he's doing.  They're good, they're honest, they'll work with you, and they are affordable."

"Landmark Energy Upgrades really came to my rescue when we were looking for a team of professionals who know exactly what they are doing. We had another team go through with trying to install a PV solar system, but unfortunately even though they promised miracles they never delivered. But the guys at Landmark came in and did the job like pros and the rates they charged were unbelievable for the great service that we got!

"I evaluated 5 bids for my rooftop PV installation: 4 local firms and one regional firm (NRG). I was very glad to have chosen NRG. Their bid was the cheapest by a significant margin. The site survey, design and installation process was quick and smooth, despite the tribulations of the ongoing COVID-19 threat. Production from the system is exceeding specification, and my first monthly electric bill was -$15."

FAQs for electrical switches, outlets & fixtures install or repair projects in Descanso, CA

To select and hire an electrician for your light switch installation, start by evaluating candidates as you would for any skilled position. Ask detailed questions, request a written quote, and verify their licensing credentials. This careful screening prevents unexpected fees and ensures every aspect of the installation, including any drywall repairs, complies with code.

A light switch can malfunction due to compromised wiring or overheating conditions. Faulty connections and excess heat diminish the switch’s performance. If you hear crackling, popping, or hissing sounds when toggling the switch, this indicates active electrical faults that pose a safety hazard and demand immediate professional inspection. Prompt attention prevents further damage and ensures reliable operation.

Installing a light switch takes 30 minutes or less, on average. The installation time depends on the switch type, with dimmer switches requiring additional time compared to standard on-off switches. While the hardware replacement might be completed in 15 minutes, it's essential to adhere to safety protocols, like turning off the circuit breaker and verifying there's no power, for a safe and code-compliant installation.
