"I contacted Fregoso Electric Service through Homeadvisor for a ceiling fan installation. Their quote was a good price. They arrived on time and installed the ceiling fan and I also had them replace two outlets in the dinning room. Great service. Great price. I highly recommend. I will use them again."

"Mr. Yousif came to my home with the utmost professionalism and efficiency I have ever seen from an electrician. His technical acumen is on par with a seasoned veteran. He was able to fulfill my wishes perfectly and quickly. His dedicated work ethic was instrumental in accomplishing the instillation of a new light fixture with complex circuitry to allow for three switches to control the lighting system. He was able to expertly install a new switch for my kitchen lights and reroute a switch location in the master bedroom to allow for more comfortable living. He was able to flawlessly execute the work of 3 men alone. I would recommend Mr. Yousif to any of my friends, family, and business partners. For guaranteed satisfaction, choose him as your primary choice of electrician/handyman."

"Outstanding service. Arrived for bid and ultimately the work at agreed upon times. Performed a thorough diagnosis and replaced the faulty GFI outlet quickly and professionally. A separate outlet that I assumed was connected to the same GFI, was actually connected elsewhere. He found the correct GFI and reset it as well. This work was done during COVID times and they arrived with masks and kept their distance. I would highly recommend MJ Electric for their professionalism, timeliness, a fair pricing."

"Marvin from Carvin Electric did an excellent job on my request to replace a couple of breakers (15amp Zinsco) on the electrical panel for my parents house. He also cut off the electrical source to the pool pump (parents used to have a pool) and removed the outlet for an old wall unit air conditioner. My husband requested the outlet removal and Marvin obliged because he said the wire to the outlet was live and would be a hazard (especially for my toddler kids). He charged a reasonable price for all three services (only the first one was planned) and the job didn’t take more than an hour. Definitely would hire him again for other electrical work (got some ideas for the future)."

Small jobs welcome

"I can’t speak highly enough about Jason and his team at Mr Sparky North County for the work they do at my home in Carlsbad. I needed a number of small electrical jobs done at my home and had previously had other Electricians out who were way expensive for installing new outlets, and updating my old ones. I found them polite, knowledgeable and performed the work quickly, and cleaned up after themselves"

"Robert Soto from Blue Bolt Electric removed my old hanging lights over my kitchen bar and replaced with new hanging lights! Robert is very professional, prompt, and did an excellent job. I am very satisfied with the job he did. He also replaced my bathroom heater fan which will be completed after Wednesday when it will get patched up around the fan since it was smaller than my ancient old one that was beyond repair."

"I couldn't be more impressed with their work. From start to finish, the experience was flawless. They arrived on time, were incredibly professional, and took the time to fully explain the job before getting started. The quality of their work was top-notch!! They not only fixed the issues I was dealing with but also made several helpful recommendations to improve the overall electrical setup in my home. They worked efficiently, kept the work area clean, and ensured that everything was tested and functioning perfectly before they left. On top of that, their pricing was fair and transparent with no hidden fees. It's rare to find such reliable and skilled service these days, and I would absolutely recommend That's Right Electric to anyone in need of electrical work. I'll definitely be calling them for any future projects!"

Customers say: Quick response

"We had to have our entire building rewired. If you need to have people working in your house, Steven and his team are the best I could think of to do the job. He is super easy to communicate with, shows up on time at the time you agree to, shows up consistently and is just a pleasure to interact with. He and his team treated our home with total respect in all ways. They laid down drop cloths, covered everything with plastic and then cleaned up after themselves. They were total professionals. They were consistently checking in to make sure we were happy with everything and wanting to know if there was anything more they could do. They let us know about the upgrades that were available but didn't push anything on us at all. I couldn't be happier with Steven and his team and highly recommend them if you need an electrician!"

FAQs for electrical switches, outlets & fixtures install or repair projects in El Cajon, 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.
