They did do the work quickly, about 20 minutes. As requested , I sent photos the day before to make sure they had the proper replacement breaker. When the tech showed up, he did not have the correct breaker. We were told that he had two on his truck that would work. They did work but appear to be used, old or? They told me they were just dusty, see for yourself. I'm including a photo, they are the two smaller breakers. They charged me $165 for parts that appear used. The Company was not willing to make any adjustments. I emailed the owner and haven't received a response. I know they get good reviews but I just wasn't happy this time

went great. 1.5 hours labor, plus cost of parts. Only issue is when you call and you get voicemail, call is not returned in a timely manner, but what's timely? I'm impatient, but I'm willing to wait for quality, especially when it has to do with electrical. Eddie, the owner, was the only I only I dealt with and that alone is worth 50 bucks!
Description of Work: installed new outlet in my garage for new garage door. and he knew how to handle my aluminum wiring issues, which is something many homes built late 1960s to pre-1972 have to deal with.

The over all problem is Raceway found that there is another switch in the circuit that no one is aware of the location of and it would be very time consuming to trace out all the electrical systems within the Church to figure out where this switch was. The regular switch is working and we will try and map out the electrical wiring at a later date. The work took 1-1/2 hours mainly tracing out circuits.
Description of Work: The problem was we had a 3 way dimmer switch controlling 4 lights in a small area that was not working. A 3 way dimmer switch was not needed for this area so it was being replaced with a regular switch.

We first used Eddie in 2006 for some relatively minor electrical work. Liked him so much back then that we looked him up this time. Eddie and son Mike were prompt, professional, organized, knowledgeable, patient, fair, kind, and fast!!! They upgraded our electric panel in less than 6 hours and that is with having SDGand amp;E coming out twice for routine work associated with the job. Eddie had completed all the necessary paperwork beforehand and apparently has a wonderful working relationship with SDGand amp;E so everything went very smoothly. They were neat, cleaned up whatever needed to be cleaned up, explained everything to us, and charged us a very fair price. Wouldn't hesitate for a nanosecond recommending Raceway Electric to anyone who appreciates a no-nonsense working relationship and wants a job done right. We plan on having Raceway come back to do some more electric work on our house in the near future.
Description of Work: Raceway - Eddie and son Mike, upgraded our 60w panel to 200w.

The installation went perfectly. Although I am not thrilled with having conduit running on the side of my house, it is the only option and they did their best to accomodate my concerns.
Description of Work: My house was built in 1951 and has never had a single upgrade performed on the property. Needless to say, the electrical was an indoor panel on the outside of the house that had no main breaker and could handle a whopping 60 watts of power. Unfortunately SDGE sucks and requires the panel to be on an area surrounded by a flat surface. The panel was relocated to the back of the house and was installed and up and running within a day.

The overall experience was great, reasonable and a short amount of time to fix the first problem that I asked him to address.
Description of Work: Raceway came out to secure my elecrical panel that was opened by a past worker that didn't do the work to code and there was a safety issue. The electrician that came out gave me an explanation and more of what I needed to have done and also some ideas about a future electrical upgrade that I had asked him about. He was very proffesional, licensed, and on time with the appointment, I really apreciated that the electrician took the time to explain the problems that my electrical panel and more had in detail to me in a way that a non electrician would understand! Great work!! I will be calling them again. Thank You

They were on time and courteous. They worked efficiently as well as rapidly. I wouldn't hesitate to call on them again.
Description of Work: They arrived shortly after 8:00 a.m. They removed an electrical box for my electric range from a kitchen cabinet where the kitchen remodelers had installed it. They took the wire from the garage into the attic and down the wall behind the opening for the range. They also moved the range into position and checked that it was working properly. They also furnished and installed GFCI protection near the sink . They also removed an old ceiling fan from the dining area, replaced the ceiling fan box and installed a new fan. .

Two members of my family had their electrical panels replaced by Raceway. When I got my estimate, it was much higher than theirs considering the work I wanted done. I was also told I would need to move my electrical panel because it was in front of the gas line. When talking to SDGand amp;E, this was not the case as it could be grandfathered in. As such, I had another contractor simply add a circuit since I was going to sell the house in the next 2 years.
Description of Work: No work was performed. I received an estimate for replacing electrical panel and adding a subpanel in the garage.

Response from Raceway Electric Inc.
When a client asks for an estimate for a service upgrade and the existing panel is above the gas meter I need to tell the client that there is a possibility that the new panel may need to be relocated because of the gas meter. It can stay where it is if SDGE and the city inspector approve of this and grandfather it in. When I met with this client and informed him of this SDGE had not been called in yet. Having never seen the SDGE service order I had no reason to adjust my price, as I had to assume the worst.

During the home inspection for a recent home purchase, the inspector found a number of issue with open splices, issues on the panel, and some issues with the swimming pool electric. I had only a couple of days to find an electrician to get a bid to submit back to the seller for credits, and Eddie came recommended by my agent. It was pure blind faith as I did zero research. Eddie was able to come out and get the bid back very quickly. I was not happy about having to pay for the bid, but he said we could apply the estimate towards the work if we selected him. Anyway, once we closed I called Eddie up to schedule the work and his son and one more worker came out to complete the work. They did all that was asked and did some additional work that I needed. Very good work, I was very happy with the end result. I have since discovered other issues in my house in regards to the electrical that I will certainly use Eddie for.

We found Eddie to be very professional and "to the point" Because he was the first of four electricians we consulted with, we later found his advice to be sound and his plan to be about the same as the others. Since his estimate was good for only 5 days, it did not allow time for us to complete other consultations before deciding; thus he was eliminated. We would consider consulting and hiring Raceway in the future as Eddie was knowledgeable and honest.
Description of Work: We made an appointment with Eddie to come & give us an estimate to have our 1960's era house wired with 6 3-prong outlets which required new romex and ground wire as well as GFI outlets placed in our kitchen. We also consulted him about installing a subpanel and wiring for a future hot tub.

These people were amazing. I have a very old house with lots of electrical problems. They figured out how to rewire this house. They were professional and cooperative. They were punctual, creative, friendly, hardworking, amazing, and gave good customer service. I have not had any problems at all. They followed through and checked to make sure that everything is fine. They went out of their way to double check and do everything I wanted them to do. All I did tell them was how to do something and I could not believe that they did it the way I wanted them to. They were able to drill through solid rock wall and bring power in which I thought will never come. I was so thrilled with them. I think their pricing was fair. They did anything I asked them to do from the smallest thing to the largest. They were really professional electricians. They were beyond anything that I would have imagined. They did the job in three parts. The finished the first two parts of the job in a very timely manner. They used all the top quality materials. At last they finished the last part. They called me after every part of the job. They followed up very well. They outlined everything that they were going to do and how they were going to do before they started the job. I was not surprised with anything that they did. I would highly advice anybody who wants electrical work done to consider these folks. They have a big truck stocked up with all the electrical materials. They don’t have to go anywhere else to buy anything.

We have used Raceway to get a previous home up to code and at our current home for numerous electrical issues. Everytime we recieve an itemized estimate emailed to us and the work has been topnotch. The only electrician I call. Highly recommend for jobs big and small.
Description of Work: Have used Raceway several times. This last time called them to finish backyard barbecue wiring due to pool/landscape contractor not finishing job. They finished wiring of ceiling fan and lights and also pulled cable from front yard cable box to backyard tv in bar through underground piping sleeve. Eddie's son even helped install outdoor tv in bar.

They are a great group. I spent about $600 to $700 when they came out in November. The electrician is not cheap. You can get a cheap electrician, but the guy is so good that he is worth the extra cost. He takes the time he needs to make sure that everything is as per code and we were really looking for somebody who knew the code to do it right. He is not slow and obviously he knows what he is doing, but he won’t rush himself. He is a little more expensive than some of the electricians, but we felt that he was worth the extra cost. He is always punctual. He always calls ahead if it is going to be late. So, he is very good about that. He did everything right the first time. I would definitely use his services in the future too.
Description of Work: Raceway Electric Inc. did the last bit of the electrical work in the house in November. My last interaction with them was either in late October or early November. They finished up some last minute electrical. They have done almost all the electrical in the house.

Hire this company! They have good reviews for a reason. The owner Eddie came out for the estimate and was very honest and detailed with his analysis of the work needed. He explained why more work was needed than we thought and exactly why it was going to take longer than we had expected. He managed to fulfill our request to start the job as soon as possible. His son and an assistant spent three days at our house working constantly to get the job done. They were patient and explained what needed to be done and why and when it came time to make homeowner decisions about various things (location of switches and outlets, etc.) they offered good advice but were not pushy about it. We decided to go over budget and have them come back for some more finish work, they are that good.
Description of Work: Installed new recessed lights, outlets and switches in kitchen and living room area. Researched existing circuits and disconnected unused ones to install new circuits for kitchen appliances. Rewired some existing wiring that was substandard.

Overall, Raceway Electric is top notch, the best we've ever encountered. Eddie is professional and no nonsense. His sons are excellent professionals as well. An assistant who worked here on the most recent job was also very good. We have never had a bad experience with this company and have always received good work. Raceway Electric knows the local codes and doesn't skimp or put in shoddy work. This company is not cheap, but this is one area where you get what you pay for. Raceway Electric is worth the extra cost because we know the job will be done right, and will pass code inspection every time.
Description of Work: Raceway Electric replaced about 25+ old electrical outlets with the newer decora outlets, including cable TV covers and phone covers. They also added new GFI circuits in the kitchen area, and rewired a problem area in the garage. They changed an outlet from all-on-switch to only one outlet on a switch. About 4 years ago this company installed a dimmer switch in the dining room, and rewired the main box to the house, after we removed a pool. Also they installed some overhead lighting and repaired some shoddy wiring done before we bought the house. This contractor has done almost all the electrical work on this house.

Very fast response and reasonable in price. Clearly a pro with a great deal of experience. Fixed the panel without trying to pitch me on a replacement though eventually I may need to do so. He had a well equiped truck. Would call him first again if I needed him. Got his name through a referral.
Description of Work: Had an older electrical panel that was causing flickering lights. Loose conections were causing overheating and burning. They came and inspected the panel and fixed it.
