"Charles was fantastic. Super knowledgeable and willing to offer suggestions and guidance during his initial review of the project. We had him install 32 recessed lights with no existing installation. He did a great job getting everything installed with minimal modifications to the house to run wires. His prices were fair and we got a great value for the quality of work we received. Would definitely recommend him and will call him again when we need an electrician."

"I have an older home and there are not as many outlets as I need in different areas of the house. I called Tail Gunner Electric who was recommended by a friend and I am happy that I did so. I had extra outlets put in 3 of the bedrooms, 2 more in the kitchen and also in the living and dining room. I also switched out my outdoor solar powered security cameras replaced with hard wired ones, which I find are much more reliable, so it was nice to have that done as well. Max did a great job, was on time, very professional and cleaned up after his work. I will be having some more work done by this company in the very near future. If you need electrical work, I highly recommend Tail Gunner Electric."

"Came out the next morning and checked out the electrical outlets. The problem was we plugged in a coffee grinder and the cord flamed out. The electrician came out the next morning, because he knew this could be a big problem. After checking all the outlets on the circuit, determined it was an old, 30 year old coffee grinder. Our mind was at rest."

"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"

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 "

"What a great guy. Oscar was able to get it done the same day and he gave a very good price and did a real nice clean job just as asked. Helped me move a couple of heavy items (I just had shoulder surgery). Now I have a 50 Amp, 240 volt receptacle right where I need it in my garage for my new EV. I will never hesitate to call him in the future and will recommend him to my family and neighbors."

"Matt and Dominic did an excellent job. This is just an example of the quality of their work. After installing a fan in the master bedroom we noticed the bed was not centered in the room. We talked about it and my wife and I planned on moving the bed later. Its huge with four tall heavy posts. At some point during the day, Matt and Dominic pushed the bed exactly where it should have been all along and now was centered in the room saving us an hour's work later."

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