Went smoothly. The electrician looked over the situation and then started checking the wall switch panels to isolate the one that caused the breaker to blow. He found it and discussed it with me and capped it off as agreed. Once he put the plates back and checked to be sure all was well, he swept up the resulting dust and shavings from the floor. I was very happy with the service.
Description of Work: We had a wire from our breaker panel short out. We needed it fixed and in order to do that he had to find the source causing the short.

It took their electrician about 15 minutes to find some loose connections in the control box. He tightened the connections and charged me for the service call and 1/2 hour of labor. Everything has worked fine since. Prompt reasonably price service.
Description of Work: After another company replaced the motor in one of my retractable awnings, it would still not work properly. They would not find out why, but instead wanted to charge me over $900 more for a fix. I called Desert Electric to see if they could diagnose the problem.

Jorge and Anthony did an excellent job. They were very professional and showed up on time. I am very pleased with their work and I appreciated the fact that I did not have to clean up after them when they were done because they took the time to do it for me. I will definitely recommend Desert Home Electric to anyone who needs their services. The cost of their services was absolutely worth the safety and security afforded me after their work was completed.
Description of Work: I needed to have all my electrical outlets and light/fan switches replaced because the existing outlets were old and worn out and presented a potential fire hazard to my home.

Thank you for the nice write up! As with a lot of my previous responses I like to highlight the fact that we clean up. Our goal is to always take care of our customer's property. There are many companies that can do electrical work, but we know it is hard to find someone that takes it to the next level. Thanks for noticing that part of the job.

Desert Home Electric is great. At first I called other companies on the list that Angies List sent me but they either stood me up or didn't return my calls. This guys were very professional and the job they did was exactly what I wanted. They actually did an even better job than I thought since I didn't want any cables to be visible. I was prepare to have them make holes on my walls since everything had to be run through the inside of the walls. Initially they said that they might have to do a small hole or two to run all the electric wiring inside the walls. However, these guys were so good that they didn't require to do any holes on the walls saving me lots of money. They were also very clean and made sure that when they left everything was put back to normal. I will definitely use this company for any electric work that needs to be done in my house or any of my friends houses. I wouldn't ever try to use any other of the electrical companies. Don't waste your time just hire Desert Home Electric Inc and you won't regret it!
Description of Work: I needed an outdoor security camera installed on my front door and a flood light installed on my backyard. I didn't want any cables visible so all cables had to be run through the inside of the walls.

This is the 4th time that I used Desert Electrical. Jorge is terrific and the owner, Steve, is very professional. I decided to convert almost every switch in the house to GE zwave smart switches to work with a Samsung Hub and Amazon Echo. Jorge was up to the task and now Alexa can voice control our lighting throughout the house. At the same time, Jorge fixed a couple of incorrect wiring that a handyman did in moving a couple of switches.
Description of Work: Install smart switches, fix electrical done incorrectly by a handiman.

Our jet bath tub stopped running. I called Desert Home Electric thinking that I would need someone to come out. Stephen explained to me on the phone what to do. The "GFI" had to be found. I was not thinking about the "GFI" but Stephen helped me to find where that was located at. It was behind a separate opening for the electrical components of the jet bath tub which was located behind the dresser. Stephen was very honest"; he could have sent out a person and charged me for that; but he didn't. He helped me fix it over the phone. Desert Home Electric is now my person for "anything electrical" at our house.

I am TOTALLY pleased with the work that Desert Home Electric did for my home. They are an outstanding company! The owner, Stephen Raleigh, is to be praised for hiring and training such an excellent crew. His men came out to my place on four different occasions. Each time I was impressed with their work and work ethics. They always worked quietly and diligently to get the job done in a timely manner and made sure to clean up after themselves, even though they were so tidy that there was very little to clean up from their work. They arrived on time and called the requested twenty- minutes ahead so I would know their arrival time. Stephen's men all spoke highly of Stephen and mentioned how much they enjoyed working for him. HAPPY WORKERS!! Even when I had given them the incorrect information, the men went back to their office to get the correct supplies without making me feel badly. How nice that was of them! Stephen even went there with his men once , with my permission, when I was not able to be home, to take care of a question I had with an exterior light. I was very impressed that his men would go into the attic crawl space so the wires could be run through the attic, when possible, instead of where they would show. Everything was always done to make me a very satisfied customer...which I definitely am. The charges were all very fair. I was given a written proposal so I could choose what I wanted done, and in what order, as my finances allowed. I will definitely call Stephen, if I need additional electrical work done. Thank you, Stephen of Desert Home Electric, for jobs well done.
Description of Work: 1. exterior lights all put on individual wall-mounted light sensors 2. Exterior GFL socket added under the eave with a timer so Christmas lights can be plugged into the socket allowing them to turn on and off automatically thus making the home look like someone is there even when away 3. Exterior light fixture also added with a wall-mounted light sensor 4. Pantry light 5. Dimmer switches

Juan and crew did a great job installing the ceiling fans. They laid down tarps to protect the floors and furniture. Everything was installed very professionally. New light switches and face plates were installed as need. Adjustments were required in a few locations and ceiling braces added to make sure everything was done properly.
Description of Work: Installed three new ceiling fans where no ceiling fans were previously installed, replace a bedroom ceiling fan with the ceiling fan in the den, and install a new ceiling fan in the den.

Desert Home Electric saved me sooo much money and I am so grateful. Steve explained to me how the job would be done and gave me a quote for the work. He then recommended that we purchase a gas dryer instead because it would probably be more cost effective for us. I told him there was no gas stub in the room and he assured me that if there was no 220v outlet there would, indeed, be a gas stub there somewhere. He asked me to forward pictures of the walls and saw what I was talking about. He suggested calling the SW Gas to confirm the existence of a gas stub, which they did, and we ended up locating it. He asked me to get back in touch with him to let him know we were able to find the gas stub. I am so impressed with this company's ethics and the lengths they will go to help, in this case even though it meant no work would be contracted for.
Description of Work: I called to see about getting a 220v outlet installed in the laundry room of the home we just moved into for our electric dryer.

I called to see if someone could come out to help with garage door not working after storm. They were able to get someone out that day but walked me through making sure my garage outlet gfi wasn't tripped so I didn't waste money on a service call. In fact it was. Steve even called back to check on me a couple hours later. Great service and would hire in the future!

The first hour should have been covered by service call and not to charge additional fees. Otherwise the hourly rate became over 125 per hour, that is too high.

Amazing company!!!! I will recommend and use this company again for all of our electrical needs.
Description of Work: When my husband and I were replacing a bathroom fixture all of our bathroom lights went out. We tested every outlet including the breaker and could not identify the spot of failure. I contacted Desert Home Electric and spoke with Steve. Over the phone he identified the problem and had me make that correction. It was a simple reset switch in the garage. Thank you Steve!!!!! I will definitely be contacting Desert Home Electric for all of our electrical needs.

The smoke detector was beeping all night presumably because the battery needed changing. However I was unable to reach it as it was in the center of a very high ceiling. They came a few hours after I called them with a folding ladder tall enough to reach the smoke detector and installed an entirely new one for only $35.00. They then replaced a bad outdoor floodlight, however the new light would not function either. The electrician, whose name I believe was Ociel (apologies if I have this wrong or misspelled), investigated the problem and spent some time tracing the connection back to a harness buried in the soil which turned out to be faulty. He repaired this, and the light has functioned normally since. The total bill for all the work was very reasonable given the amount of time spent on the problem and expertise provided. I have used this company several timed in the past and will continue to use them as I have always been very satisfied with their work

Thanks for the review! We appreciate that you took notice of the steps we take to protect our customer's homes and furniture while we work. During our weekly meetings we put a big emphasis on that part on the job. What we stress is- there are a lot of electricians out there that do a good job, but we want to separate ourselves by also being the #1 company that protects your belongings. Thanks again!

From first contact to job completion this company was very professional. The electrician (Oscar) showed up on time, had the parts needed for the job, completed the work in a timely manner and didn't seem to mind me hanging around talking. The people at Desert Home Electric are very good at their trade and I will be using them for future electrical needs.

DHE installed four double photo cell flood lights using LED lamps. They installed these with automatic time clocks in place of switches. This was quite complicated as they had to drill through the walls and garage to get electric power to the lamps. They also installed a GFI plug outside for our outdoor lights. They checked the landscape lights and fixed some loose connections and replaced the bulbs. The house is now beautifully lit up at night, and these new lamps use very little power. Very pleased and would definitely recommend.
Description of Work: We needed security lights for our 2,500 sq ft single level home, and a checkup on the landscape lighting.

The technician called 30 minutes before arrival. He showed up near the beginning of the 2 hour window. The 2'x2' flat panel LEDs were recommended by Desert Electric. The installation went well. It took about 4 hours from start to finish. The technician was helpful and did a good job. I had wiring for one light in the garage already, so the new panels were wired from the preexisting light. The panels are not completely flush to the ceiling. You can see a bit of light at the top of the lights beside the ceiling. The panels look good in my garage and provide good light in the day and night.
Description of Work: I need 5 LED panel lights installed in my garage

During the service call after describing the problem we were advised to check a service outlet in garage because if light was on in this switch (which it was) it simply needed to be reset. Reset light on our own and problem in bathrooms resolved and power restored! Cost to us for this simple fix was zero. Desert Electric is an amazing company that obviously commits to true customer service and while it was not necessary to hire them for a job this time, we definitely now know to call Desert Electric for all our electrical needs. Highly recommended!
Description of Work: Lights and fans in 2 upstairs bathrooms failed to work when switches were turned on. We checked the outside circuit breaker but found no problem. Checked Angie's list and called Desert Electric who answered right away.
