"Anthony was very professional and meticulous with his work. He installed several GFI's in the home, replaced a doorbell, corrected a timer on Carriage Lights, fixed the lighted address unit and secured a 220 voltage line into a water proof box. I couldn't be happier with his work. I would definitely hire Anthony again for any electrical work."

"Anthony is excellent! He's professional, knowledgeable, and also very nice. He installed a light/fan that was complicated and, somehow, figured it all out and made it beautiful. I asked him to come back and do additional work to make my outlets safer, and install a few other fixtures/switches. Highly recommend!"

"I hired JC Electric (Jaime) for two projects: a panel upgrade and an EV charging installation. In both cases, Jaime was meticulous, reliable, and highly skilled, ensuring the projects were completed on time. Beyond his expertise, he is an honest and trustworthy professional. I would gladly work with him again on future projects and highly recommend his services."

"I did not actually hire; Emanuel. Here is what happened. He called me to see what my issue was. I explained it to him, having to do with GFCI outlets and breakers I was not able to reset. He said, do you want to hop on FaceTime and show me the electrical panel? I said YES! So in the span of 8 patient minutes, he led me through how to flip the breakers fully, and safely, and then talked me through resetting my GFCI outlets underneath my kitchen sink. All while on FaceTime. I told him I wanted to pay him for his time and expertise (and laidback kindness) -- he said, nah, no problem, just call next time I have an electrical issue. I 100% will and have already sent his name along to my friend network. Thanks, Emanuel."

"Steve and his crew of electricians did a fabulous job. They basically replaced the entire house’s electrical, all new switches and outlets in addition to all the new light fixtures in every room. They showed up on time, did what they said they would and addressed every issue encountered in the rehab. In addition, Steve was great helping me decide what to put where. An overall excellent experience. I would HIGHLY recommend Warner Electric for any electric job."

Customers say: True professional

"We highly recommend Mendez Electric for any electrical and/or general construction work you need done on your home. We hired Mendez Electric, a multi-generational family business, in 2024 at the recommendation of a neighbor who had used them to completely rewire their 100-year-old home in Berkeley's Elmwood neighborhood. Mendez Electric did a full inspection and report of our electric system, which still included a lot of knob and tube. We ultimately hired Mendez Electric to undertake a major electrical project (six figure project) for our older home which included: 1) a complete system/wiring upgrade and installation of a 300 amp service panel upgrade. This work included all relevant permitting and coordination with PGE. Mendez Electric’s staff are highly knowledgeable, efficient, communicative, competitively priced and focused on high customer service. We have hired Mendez Electric in subsequent months to handle several smaller general construction projects, e.g., cement/sidewal"

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