"CUSTOMERS BEWARE: Disorganized company, terrible communication, and worst of all the OWNER IS NOT TRUSTWORTHY. Find another local electrician! After a negative experience with the owner, Joe Casillas, I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau on 9/24/2025. As of 10/2/2025, J Casillas Electric is yet to respond. Problem: The owner will not honor their word or written contract with the customer. We have a written contract with Joe Casillas Electric (JCE) for them to perform work on September 24th, 2025, however JCE has refused to do so. Proposed Resolution: To remedy the situation, I am simply asking for Joe Casillas Electric to complete the work that we agreed to, with the materials that we agreed to, and at the price that we agreed to. The details are expressed in a written agreement dating August 21st, 2025. The agreement stipulates that 1 inch conduit will be used and that the price is $1,350. Additionally, the conduit should be metal, not PVC."

"This was a very good experience ! Anthony replied first and he asked good questions. He arrived promptly ( I was happy to get this done today) He was very polite, asked questions regarding my preferences for the height and angle of the lanterns. He did an really good job and was very professional. I asked Anthony to take a quick look at something else which I thought we could schedule for another day. He checked it out, made a suggeation but was also able to correct the problem within a few minutes. I was very pleased and recommend him confidently."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars – Honest, Skilled, and Solution-Oriented! After calling three different electricians who all told me the same thing — that they’d need to cut into two ceilings and it would cost me thousands — I was ready to give up. Thankfully, I found this electrician, and he was an absolute game-changer. He was the fourth and final person I called, and I’m so glad I did. Not only did he take the time to really assess the situation, but he found a creative and efficient solution that no one else had even mentioned. He snaked the wire through a vent — no ceiling cuts needed — and even went above and beyond by putting my washer and dryer on their own breaker. He fixed the electrical issue in my kitchen quickly and professionally (2 hours diagnosing on a Friday and 5 hours of work on a Sunday), all for a fraction of what others were quoting me. You can tell he genuinely cares about doing right by his clients and finding solutions that work for you, not just what's easiest."

"Steven, the owner, was very communicative, returning my calls even after business hours to make sure my questions were answered. When an issue arose he, himself arrived the next day to address the issue which was quickly resolved. Time and care was put into the work done."

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