"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."

"EXCELLENT. Roque and Michael (bus partner) are both extremely efficient, professional, articulate, present and ready and available to do whatever job you need. Roque scheduled as early as possible to ensure he had plenty of time to do the job well. Michael was the one that did the work I needed..found the issue immediately..replaced BUT they also took the time to diagnose the rest of my lines so if they do ever come back they have history on my electrical lines so they dont waste my time trying to re create the wheel of diagnosing and can get to deeper issues that could arise. Not that they will just saying the lines are behind walls so the simple fix was made for my issue but there is always a chance it could be behind the walls..so he prepared himsefl should I need them to come back to get to business. Very impressed. Easy to pay..they send you an electronic bill, pay by credit card. Definitely recommend. Before MJ I called numerous other electricans (found on yelp or google)..MJ was only one that didnt fill me with excuses, deflections and down right "creepy" where I would not hire the others due to didnt trust them. MJ was extremely professional and saved his name/number to be my electrican of choice for any futher needs on my home."

"Overall great experience with Green Electric Solutions. I am working on renovating my two car garage and needed some old outlets removed. I received a same-day quote and same-day service- which is always fantastic. Nathan was extremely knowledgeable and he explained his findings in great detail. I live in an condo built in the early 70’s, so things are built a little differently and have aged. But Nathan was able to navigate with ease and recommended future projects. The problem was fixed to satisfaction- however, I do need him to return again, as most outlets in my garage have ceased to function as an outcome of the visit (likely due to removing wire from breaker box) I will call after the holiday. Thank you and happy Thanksgiving"

"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...."

"I had Rich from Point Loma Electric add two new outlets to my garage. Rich called before arriving, kept me in the loop with everything he was doing and walked me through the completed project as well as my guarantees. Rich did an outstanding job and it looks great and is super clean. I plan on using Point Loma Electric for my next project. The price seemed a bit high (I did receive a Military discount) but I don't have a reference point because I chose this company because of their ratings and I firmly believe you get what you pay for."

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.
