"When I ask for an estimate (or take the time to create one for client's in my own business) I actually expect the estimate to mention potential issues that might arise and increase the cost of the project, and I certainly want to make sure I understand the scope of the work. If my estimate is a little bit below the final cost few people have problems. On the other hand if I just don't take the time consider some of the potential issues and think about solutions but just dash off a quote, then I believe I need to stay within the numbers. After all estimates are an important part of the work - they take some time to do well even if you don't get the job. That is part of the $150 per hour some electricians charge. I liked both the electrician and his scheduler and appreciated how quickly they responded to my request for a quote and the portion of the work that was done seems to be working fine. Unfortunately the electrician just didn't really take the time to investigate the full scope of the job so his estimate wasn't even half of what was charged to do just the portion of the job they were able to complete. What they billed us $1100 for was quoted by another electrician at $400. I believe this company may well be a great choice for basic wiring in your home but I think he was not sufficiently familiar with the sort of work we needed done in our warehouse. He would have done us both a favor by admitting this in the beginning rather than when he handed me the bill."

"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."

We would definitely use his services again."

"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."

"Because of some internet issues on my side, this will be the third time I've written this review. I'm pointing this out because Marvin's work is so good that it is totally worth the effort for me to keep trying. Carvin Electric, which Marvin leads, is the model of what a contractor should be...reasonable, fast, super easy to work with, and incredibly reliable. Marvin and team did exactly what we asked and then some. He had great ideas of ways to improve our project, and never tried to gouge us for changes or upgrades. He worked around a difficult timeline and circumstances, and his work was absolutely perfect. I'm not sure I could recommend Carvin highly enough. Amazing!!"

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"

FAQs for electrical switches, outlets & fixtures install or repair projects in La Mesa, 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.
