"

Mr. Dove didn't do the work.  It was two of his employees or subcontractors.  The installation of the wiring, ceiling fan and ceiling light went fine, but the drywall repair wasn't that good.  The texture they sprayed on the walls didn't even remotely match the existing wall texture, so their patch job was obvious.  Also, they didn't reconnect something in one of the outlets so only the top socket worked.  When I notified Mr. Dove, he came out the next day to fix it.  I was impressed by Mr. Dove's professionalism, and would hire him again provided he did the work.

"He was fantastic. They come, and they do four LED lights in one room and that's $299. They do the new switch on the wall and recessed lights in and they do it all in a couple of hours. I ended up liking it so much I had him come back and do every room in the house. It's a great deal a great big deal. I talked to a couple of other electricians, and they said this guy is just a great deal. So, now I got some awesome lighting in all the rooms The warm white color and it hardly uses any electricity at all. It was new switches and he fixed old stuff and took out stuff that was dangerous. He's perfect, he's a great guy. He's actually a paramedic, but he does this and he says it's less stressful. He's a real busy guy. I would suggest him highly to anyone on this site. He was cheaper than anyone else."

"My experience was outstanding!!  On time, on schedule, under budget, passed City inspection with no issues at all.  Would I recommend and hire again?  Absolutely!!
I was having a solar system installed and needed my electric panel to be upgraded.  I sent inquires to most of the Angieslist electricians and received several responses.  Most replied politely with prices ranging from $1900 to $3000.  Instead of just giving me a "standard price", Pete understood that not every job takes the same amount of work, so he asked for a photo or two of what was I had and what I wanted to be done.  We talked a little, emailed a little, and texted a little.  In the end he gave me a quote for the job, and what would and would not be included (stucco patching).  He's an electrician, not a handyman. This was common amongst all the electricians I received responses from.  
His price was by far the best by at least 25%.  Even having to get my own stucco guy, I was $500 ahead than the next closest quote.  Now, full disclosure....we had time to plan this project out.  To help me save money, I asked if I could pull the City permit. No problem.  This was not an emergency fix. SDGE was taking 3 weeks to schedule disconnects, so we picked the soonest date SDGE could do their thing and he booked it on his schedule.
Day of installation?  Nasty weather.  He could have easily blown it off.  If that had happened, my whole solar install would have slipped and not have made its end of year install deadline. Nope, rain or shine, he was going to be there.  I set up a pop up shelter and it worked out perfect. SDGE disconnected at 8:30 and Pete went to work.  By noon, the panel was in with breakers and all. Now we just needed the City inspector to sign off.  Inspector shows up, and it doesn't take 5 minutes for the approval.  Inspector compliments Pete on the install and professional touches indicating he doesn't get many that are that well done.  It doesn't get any better than that!!
Here's another thing?.,  Codes have changed since the house was built and the electrical installed.   We expected to have to re-do the "cold water bond".   As it turned out, the existing "cold water bond" was sufficient for the new panel.  What did he do?  He lowered the cost of the job.  How many others would have still charged?
SDGE showed up, hooked us back up, and between the two of us had all the breakers figured out to what they controlled.  Start to finish was less than 6 hours. 
I couldn't be happier with the job and outcome.  Pete Aardema knows what he's doing.  They're good, they're honest, they'll work with you, and they are affordable."

"Everything worked out great.  He mostly did high, very hard windows like skylights and very high windows.  He did a thorough job of cleaning the screens and windows.  I will call him for help in the future.

"Eric, from Shea Electric, completed the installation of an electric line extension with an on/off switch, which controlled an outside light fixture. I was extremely pleased with Eric's work, and have no hesitation in giving a very positive recommendation to Shea Electric. Eric went above and beyond my expectations of his work."

"Landmark construction and energy crew executed a whole kitchen renovation for us, including custom cabinets, new floors, new countertops, electrical (sub panel with lights and switches), recessed lighting covering, plumbing fixtures, took down wall to expand the kitchen area by merging it to the living room space. The cost included all the materials for cabinets and countertops, backsplash tiles, new floors and the appliances. We are thrilled with our new kitchen! Charlie, Nir and the workers did an excellent work and while the whole job was completed in less than a month. You could see how hard they worked in order to keep the work moving so it will be done in that time period that they originally promised us. On top of that, they worked hard to get things to our requirements (i.e. to stain the cabinets, complete the paint etc…). We all were pleasant and satisfied to have them work at our house and mainly with Charlie (project manager) that was approachable and supportive when we had requests or problems. I must mention that on few times, we were bothered with some of the workers when they didn’t show up when they should, or worked more hours on the electricity panel. Clearly enough, it’s normal that you must have to handle a lot of problems when you decide on going for this type of project. The final cost was the same as we agreed with them at first, although we were sure that it will be increased due to some additional things that we did during the work and that were not included in the first estimate/agreement. Overall, we would give LANDMARK CONSTRUCTION AND ENERGY CREW Construction a strong recommendation!"

"I evaluated 5 bids for my rooftop PV installation: 4 local firms and one regional firm (NRG). I was very glad to have chosen NRG. Their bid was the cheapest by a significant margin. The site survey, design and installation process was quick and smooth, despite the tribulations of the ongoing COVID-19 threat. Production from the system is exceeding specification, and my first monthly electric bill was -$15."

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