Although given a two hour window, Jorge, the electrician, called to let me know when he would be arriving. I had a ceiling fan that wasn't responding to the remote and he quickly determined that the receptor in the fan was not working correctly. He checked to see if the receptor was part of the fan or one that could be replaced. It turned out to be a replaceable unit. He asked me if instead of getting a new receptor if I wanted him to hardware the fan to the switches on the wall. I did as I had no use for the remote. He did that and then checked a switch that had gotten wet. It turned out to be okay. He was punctual, professional, and personable. I would definitely use this company again.

Sears had installed our dishwasher electrically improper. The cord burned through and switched the breaker to off, but not before major sparks and smoke. I called Cindy and she sent Jorge out. He showed how the cord had burned completely through and even scorched the flooring. I have used Desert Home Electric for another problem before, so I knew they were great, reasonably priced, knowledgeable, professional and efficient. Jorge was great, on time and found the problem immediately.

My technician's name was Jorge. He called me twice on the day the work was to be done to keep me updated on exactly when he would be arriving. He arrived within the 2-hour window that I had been given. He was courteous and professional and a overall nice guy. He answered all of my questions and explained what he was doing to correct the problems. As he finished one problem, he went immediately to the next one, cleaning up as he went so as not to leave me with a mess. I was impressed with the quality of the work and the professionalism of the technician (Jorge). I will definitely be calling Desert Home Electric for any future electrical problems and highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Fixed problem with the entry hallway lights and outlets. He opened the breaker box and found a loose wire. Found problem of a bad CGFI outlet in the bathroom and replaced it. Installed 2 flood lights on the back patio. I had been told by another vendor that there was a problem with the wiring for the floodlights and that they could not be installed. No problem for Desert Home Electric, the flood lights are working great.

From my initial conversation with Steve, the owner, to the actual install, my experience with DHE was extremely positive. Not only did Steve provide me with a quote that was 25% cheaper than the competitors, our technician did a fantastic job installing five ceiling fans. He was professional, courteous and did a clean job.

I do not have the name of the technician that came out to service our home, but he was nice, punctual and professional. He was able to fix most of the problems we were having with our lighting in the home, accept for the light kit on one of our fans. We were told that the wiring was good and since he couldn't see a major problem that the light kit would have to be replaced. We had a handyman look at the same light kit a week later and he determined that the wattage was too high on the light bulbs that were being used. He explained that they produced too much heat which can cause it to trip keeping it from starting a fire. We didn't have to replace the light kit at all! I was a little surprised that by something as small as putting in differently bulbs was not something the electrician thought to check while he was here. Over all, our experience was good. It was pricey.
Description of Work: Installed a digital timer for outside lighting. Replaced a bad switch in a bathroom (the lights were not turning on or off). Adjusted a socket in wall sconce so the light bulb would work correctly.

Although I hope that future electrical issues do not occur that would require an electrician, if they do then Dave is the one I would want to show up. As to the cost, I always wish that electrical work was cheaper than it is but it is not and I am definitely satisfied with the repair results.
Description of Work: Service included assessment and determination of the problem, consultation on how to address the problem, selection of a solution, a written estimate for the cost of the solution and then timely implementation of the solution. Dave the electrician was very knowledgeable, practical and clear in his explanation of the issues.

Very thrilled with the work provided by Desert Home Electric. They were easy to contact, easy to schedule with, and easy to work with. They came out and looked at our home, wrote up and honest and fair price quote, and did excellent work once we scheduled the job. The front and sides of our home weren't bright enough... so we had them install a new light fixture on each side of our home, and also one in the middle of our wide driveway (all of them attached to the home). Attached to our garage were fixtures on both the right and left sides, but we added one to the middle for better light coverage. We supplied them with all new fixtures we'd purchased at Lowe's, as well as the daylight sensors. The new fixtures were placed perfectly, with NO damage to our home, and look as though they were there all along. They look fantastic. Our home is now the brightest on our short street by far. Compliments from many neighbors, including one who wishes to do the same. This couldn't have gone any better, in my opinion. They gave us exactly what we asked for, at an honest price, and with zero hassles. They did good, clean, and efficient work.
Description of Work: Replaced four outside light fixtures with new ones, and installed three all new ones in the locations I specified. Added daylight (dusk to dawn) sensors to the circuit.

I am not sure what happened. All of the reviews on Angie's List look fantastic for Desert Home Electric unfortunately this business did not deliver for me. I had an appointment for May 5th to get an estimate for some electrical work that I needed done for my bathroom remodel. Dave showed up on time and was very friendly. He looked at the job and said I would get an estimate in a few days. About a week went by and I did not receive the estimate. I called and was told it would come shortly. Another week went by and I still didn't receive the estimate. At this point I should have found another electrician, however the reviews on Angie's List were so good that I thought I should take a chance. I called and asked again if an estimate was going to be given to me. I finally received the estimate on May 21st. The estimate included an extra 10% off since it took so long for the estimate to get to me. I called and scheduled an appointment for June 6th. I waited around all day. No one ever showed up to do the job. Luckily I was introduced to Mike Wrenn from Connect-It Electrical. He did a fantastic job.

Phenominal. Best contractor I had on the job. On time, thorough, friendly, professional. Had 1 little hiccup when tieing into the main house, miss-drilled the location. Told us immediately and discounted the job price to cover the drywall repairs. Great company. I have used them again since this job & would refer them to everyone.

The repair technician was very professional and showed up as scheduled and on time. Even the problem was one GFI he checked all the switches in the house. The labeling in the circuit breaker was a mess left by the builder; confusing and because it was not detailed enough and we didn't know which breaker corresponded to each of the 2 A/C units we have. The technician marked it correctly to avoid confusion in the future. Work performed was excellent.
Description of Work: Replaced bad GFI in garage. Replaced wrong size breaker for air conditioner.

I had checked the breakers and all of the fault protectors I could find. I gave up and called Desert Home Electric, and talked to Steve. He said it sounded like a fault protector, and gave me some suggestions of where to continue my search. I followed his advise, and found the problem. I called Steve back and let him know his advise was sound, and thanked him.

I spoke with Steve at Desert Home Electric and he said he would try to get someone out the same day. He asked me what happened and walked me through the process of getting my home electricty back on by reseting the circuit breaker. He saved me time and money by not coming out and only walking me through the situation. He said he is happy to do that for people. He sure came through for us and we are very grateful to Steve.

Electrician called before arriving. He was prompt, courteous, and professional. He was neat and explained what he was going to do. The job itself couldn't be any more perfect. And he told me what circuit breaker to turn off when I go to put up the fan. I was very pleased with the job and wouldn't hesitate to give a recommendation.

When I called to make the appointment the lady who answered the phone was very polite and it was easy to schedule an appointment for someone to come out and give a quote. Steve the electrician arrived about 5 minutes early and when I explained to him what I was looking for he was able to draw up a quote right there. He is very professional and after you start talking to him you can tell he knows what he is talking about. After he left I decided to go with the quote and use there services so I called the lady to schedule a time for him to come doing the installation of those items above. Once again very polite lady and a week later which is today Steve came back to install.He called a night or two before to confirm the appointment and I was impressed as I believe that is the professional thing to do. Everything went smoothly and I was impressed with how easy this was to work with him. Steve the electrician from Desert Home Electric was awesome and I recommend services Desert Home Electric. You won't be disappointed!

Ociel and Manuel from Desert Home Electric arrived on time and placed protective coverings on all the areas where work was to be performed. They clearly explained all that was necessary to to the job including cutting three holes in the wall for wire access. They quietly and efficiently went about the job to completion. They were polite and we were very comfortable having them in our home. Holes were covered and ready for us to spackle and repaint. Ociel reviewed all the work that was done and clearly labeled the new breaker. All debris was cleaned in a workmanship manner. He left his number in case we had any other questions. Overall this was a very professionally done job. They completed all the work in less than 3 hours. We are extremely pleased and would recommend them to any of our neighbors!

Excellent service!! Although Steve and his people had never worked on a pottery kiln Steve was more than happy to help me diagnose the problem and with the help of a wiring diagram and some simple diagnosis, by working together we were able to fix the problem, a bad relay that caused one of the heating elements to fail. There are no authorized Paragon Kiln techs in Las Vegas or surrounding areas and although this brand is a very popular make for potters and glass artisans in southern Nevada we have no one, until now, to turn to when a problem arises. I can highly recommend Desert Home Electric to all of those many potters with Paragon kilns! It is nice to have someone who is willing to try to extend themselves to help when no one else will and provide that help in a professional manner and a very reasonable price.

[member name]- Thanks for the good write up. One of our company's top priorities is to get the word out that we are a company that wants to help people. If we can we try to give estimates over the phone so customers don't always have to schedule part of their busy day around us. We also try to fix problems over the phone to save customers a service call. We are here for the long haul and appreciate constantly expanding our customer base. Thanks , Steve
