"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."

"Marvin provided a detailed estimate that my condo homeowners association board could easily approve. He was extra thorough and flexible in making the electrical changes in my laundry room needed for my new washer and dryer. He ensured that everything was completed to my satisfaction and followed up afterwards too! I would definitely hire Marvin again for additional work in my home."

"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."

"I was very frustrated looking for an electrician when mine retired. I actually made appointments with 3 different electricians and none of them followed through. Out of desperation, I tried Angie's List. They sent me five companies, I sent a request for a quote at the same time to all five. Within 5 minutes I got a call from Pt Loma Electric.....VERY IMPRESSIVE. Even more impressive they could send me an electrician first thing the next morning...this call was around 6 pm. I immediately scheduled an appointment and when the other electrical companies called I told them I already had someone. This morning I was blessed with Mike Murphy, your electrician. He is incredibly professional, nicely dressed and cleaned up everything as he was doing the work. I had multiple outlets replaced, a light fixture installed and a circuit in my breaker box replaced. I would highly recommend him for any job...he knows what he is doing. Kudos to your entire team, from the design of the Angie's List quick response to the wonderful woman who called me and Mike Murphy. Sooooo smooth!!! Lastly I am a Real Estate Broker and I often hire an electrician to do work on my clients homes that they are buying or selling. I have found my company....Pt Loma Electric...."

"Technician arrived on time. He immediately inspected the problems with some switches and immediately went to work. He was friendly and respected our home. I would rate his work with 1,000 Stars if possible. Point Loma Electric and Plumbing will be my number one source for future problems."

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.
