Ociel arrived promptly and proceeded to solve the problem associated with a "loud buzzing sound" from the breaker panel while the heater unit was operating. We were also pleased to have the owner, Steve, send Ociel back the next day to demonstrate how we could assess and determine if other breakers in the panel created the same problem. We feel confident selecting businesses in Las Vegas from Angie's List and only wish her list was available in Sevilla, Spain.
Description of Work: Replaced a breaker unit associated with air conditioning/heater unit.

[member name removed], We appreciate the nice comments. Our goal is always to be your full service electrician, so if we need to go back just to help you out we are more than happy to do it. This type of "Help" doesn't come up very often but when it does it gives us a chance to demonstrate our customer service. Thanks Steve

Dave from Desert Home Electric is amazing! We purchased a new home and needed A LOT of things done by an electrician. Dave was prompt, friendly, and really knows his stuff! He did a lot of work for us at a reasonable price. This is the only company that we will ever call anytime we need an electrician.

I am always a bit reserved about this kind of thing, because sometimes things look great at first and are not as great later. I had a problem in my garage with a GIF plug, which I had fixed a couple months ago by an electrician I have used several times successfully. This time, however, he made the problem worse. I spent weeks trying to figure out just exactly what was the cause, but something kept tripping the GIF switch and nothing on that line would work, which included my water softener and my sprinkler system. SO, I looked for electricians on Angies list. | |I called Desert Home Electric, based on other reviews. I did not want to call back the same person who had made my problem worse. Desert Home Electric sent a person out the morning after I called. He came within about 15 minutes of the estimated time they gave me, which is good on average. The electrician who came out listened to all of the information I gave him about the problem's history. He actually went through the house first and checked the outlets that are on that line, and found them all to be in working order (the plugs themselves were not the problem, in other words). He then took out the GFI outlet that the other person had put in, and it was a bad outlet. Even I could see that. I watched him take it out, so I know it was not some sort of trick. He put in a new GIF Plug and everything has been working correctly ever since. Granted, it has only been 4 days, but, that is longer than the other plug was lasting. He also, at my request, replaced an outdoor outlet that I had been wanting to replace for a long time, because I wanted one that would be covered when things are plugged into it. So far, everything is good. I guess the cost is pretty average. It seems in line with other things I have had done over recent years. I am glad to have the use of my electrical line back!

I couldn't have asked for a better experience than the one we got with Desert Home Electric. From the initial phone call and estimate in September to the completion of the job, everything went wonderfully. I never had an issue getting in touch with the office and frequently talked to the owner himself. Everyone was polite, helpful, and accommodating. They understood when we had to postpone the job, happily provided revised quotes upon request (twice), and set us up with an appointment within days of confirming we wanted to work with them. We did call a couple other companies, but the estimates were comparable and we felt really confident in Desert Home after speaking to the owner, Stephen. Jorge Jr. and Jorge Sr. completed our job in two days and we had quite a bit of work done. They were sooo friendly, polite, and professional the entire time. They went out of their way to make as few holes in the drywall as possible. These guys really took the time to get the job right and their attention to detail was fantastic. On the first day, there was a slight miscommunication about the can lights they would be using (they didn't match our others) and Desert Home Electric provided us new can lights to match for a discount. We were so pleased by their willingness to go above and beyond. We are very, very happy with our new lighting, outlets and outdoor lights. They absolutely exceeded my expectations and I would recommend this company to anyone looking to have electrical work performed. We will definitely be asking for Jorge Jr and Sr the next time we need work done! Thank you to Steve and the whole team for a great experience.
Description of Work: Desert Home Electric added four can lights on dimmers to our dining area, four can lights on dimmers to our living room, three small can lights in our "foyer", a new electrical outlet in our pantry closet, a new outlet on it's own breaker in our laundry room, added six can lights on dimmers in our loft, created boxes for and hung two lights in our master bathroom, replaced all our other can lights to match the new ones, and created boxes for outdoor lights.

The gentleman was nice however I thought I was being taken advantage of. If I wouldn’t have done my research and called other companies he would have taken me for that amount of money. I probably wouldn't call him for future needs.

Response from DESERT HOME ELECTRIC INC
Our company works hard to keep getting A+ ratings. We take Angie's List very seriously. If a job we do does not work out we have meetings to discuss what we want to do differently next time. In this case I have to say [member name removed] review is totally off base - no other way to say it. First of all we help 4 - 5 people a week over the phone trying to save them money. We walk people thru resetting GFI's and circuit breakers to help them avoid a service call they don't need. This estimate for [member name removed] was over the phone - no visit to the home. She had a quote from the phone company to add a phone line for $85.00. The phone was to be a semi temporary set up in one of the bedrooms with no phone jack. I explained that the phone company would usually not go in the attic but would run a phone wire around the outside of the house in a nice neat fashion. For $85 she would never find any electrician to beat that price. If she didn't mind having wires stapled to the outside and she was trying to get this done on the cheap that was the way to go. I offered - without looking at it - that an attic job would run $350 - 450 - but that was a wild guess. I also offered that we could come and look at it the next day to give a firm price. If it was easy it could be a lot less. But not in the $85 range. [member name removed] thanked me for being straight with her and appreciated the fact I went over all the options with her. This was a 10 minute discussion - not a 2 minute conversation. We take these reviews very seriously. When something like this comes up it sends alarm bells throughout our whole company! I really don't understand how our conversation on the phone would move anyone to write a review like this. Especially when it looks like this was an official quote - nothing in the review points out this was just a simple conversation. Also it wasn't a question about my "off the cuff" quote and how we stacked up to the competition - it was - can you beat $85.00? Answer - No. If in fact [member name removed] found someone to run a new wire thru the attic for less than $ 85 than good for her - but to also write a bad review for the conversation we had does not make sense. It's not fair to all my guys who work hard to maintain our reputation. For future customers that call us and we help over the phone - how about putting up a review stating what we did. Our company's success is based on happy experiences with our customers - not how much money we can collect. Thanks, Steve Raleigh President

It went really well. Jorge was super nice and courteous. He offered to take his shoes off to go upstairs which is what we do and I liked that I didn't have to ask. He was quick and friendly and cleaned up his work space. I would absolutely do business with this company again. The company charges an 85 dollar service fee and then 60 per hour.
Description of Work: I called on Thursday afternoon and scheduled an appointment for the next day between 8-11. Jorge Jr. came this morning at 8am and fixed two lights and one fan. It was wiring related for the lights and light switch issue for the fan.

Everything was excellent! Total professionalism. Asked what I wanted, laid out lighting, asked if I liked the placement. Laid plastic down on the cover to collect trash. Wore shoe protectors when he came in the house. Did the job without any complaints or issues. Cleaned everything up when he left. Ociel was the person that did the work. He's fantastic and really knows his profession. We are very, very happy with this company and will definitely use them in the future.

Extremely thorough, with the exception of going up to the roof. Very courteous and gave us tips on what to fix and why. He put our mind at ease regarding what is important to repair and what is only cosmetic. He took his time, and checked everything even when we told him we did not care about some items to be inspected. He insisted he does a complete, thorough inspection.

Response from DESERT HOME ELECTRIC INC
Response to [member name removed]– From July 17th We are really sorry the repair we did for you was a bad experience. Our standard charge for a “Quick Fix” is $ 85.00. So we made a mistake in over charging you. The $ 85 is just enough to cover our trip and time on the job – but for a repair like this we want to be fair. The situation with the circuit breaker however deserves explanation about how we conduct business. If a breaker simply trips once and it can be reset we do not want to charge you for another circuit breaker. Chances are it’s still good. But what we do is swap the wires to another breaker so the same problem won’t occur again on the same circuit. Here’s the concept – if the same circuit trips (now on another breaker) then a return call would mean you have a wiring problem. If the same breaker trips (now connected to a different circuit) then a return call would mean we have a bad breaker. If we have to make that return trip the service call fee is waived and just our labor is charged. Another item to clear up – calling “10 Minutes before” we get there. Our policy is to give our customers a 2 hr window that you choose or agree on. During that 2 hr window we simply state we will “call when we are on the way”. Looking thru all of our reviews we take pride in the fact we are a fair company with a great reputation. We are not trying to make a quick buck – we are in this for the long haul and strive for customer satisfaction. With this in mind we are refunding the entire $ 115.00 we charged – plus a “Free Service Call” card next time you might need us. Thank you, Steve Raleigh - President

I called the company from Denver, as my son lives in the Las Vegas area and needed some additional electrical circuits added to his computer/office room. When I called, the woman was very pleasant and assured me that the work could be done in two or three days after the estimate. When we got to Las Vegas, I called again and she set up an appointment. Juan came out and looked the job over and the estimate came in and we had Juan come over to do the work. Since the garage was finished, they did have to cut a few holes to fish the wires through, but we easily patched them up like new. My son now has three new circuits in one room and one new one in another room. Everything was done neatly and he and his co worker, Carlos, were all done in a half day.
Description of Work: Added three 20 amp circuits to home office room and another 20 amp circuit to another room for a printer. This was done in a two year old house, completely finished.

He was punctual and someone with the company called me through the day to make sure I knew how much longer it would be.
Description of Work: We bought an older home that needed some electrical troubleshooting. Jorge was very courteous and respectful. He seemed to know what he was talking about and was very patient as I asked questions. I just needed some guidance and an electricians opinion. He gave me a fair quote as to what I thought it would cost.
