“Rob Sheets is the best electrician you'll ever hire. He is professional, talented, honest and reasonable. He spend time troubleshooting a problem and presented several options to us. He's creative, responsive and follows through exactly as he promises.”
Checo Electric, Inc.
University City, CA Electricians
Apr 3, 2019
“Carlos came to my house about a couple weeks ago and provided us an estimate for recessed lighting and numerous outlets throughout our home both indoor and outdoor. He was professional and displayed excellent customer service. He provided us a reasonable estimate and he came right away to get started on the work. Carlos removed old lighting fixtures and patched holes with plaster. There were also complications with adding a dimmer in our living room, however, he problem solved and provided us exactly what we wanted. Our recess lighting was nicely laid out and I’d have to give him an extra salute for spending some much time working in our small attic, the end result turned out perfect. I would highly recommend Carlos and we plan on using his services again!”
ER Electric
University City, CA Electricians
Dec 8, 2017
“I live in a 1920's bungalow in North Park so things often break. We had electrical issues that needed to be addressed in a timely manner. I put in a project request via Houzz and Romo called me almost immediately. He was incredibly helpful and assured me that he could come out the same day to resolve the issue. Within a few hours he was at my house and in a short amount of time everything was fixed! Romo was very polite and helpful. I would absolutely recommend ER Electric and plan to use Romo in the future as well.”

Baratelli Electric
University City, CA Electricians
Jul 20, 2013
“John Baratelli is the owner of Baratelli Electric. He installed 7 fixtures for me when I remodeled my home last year. This summer, he installed new landscape lighting in the front yard and backyard. In all cases he did a great job. He is always punctual, cleans up after his work, and is very professional. I have recommended him to many friends who are also pleased with his work. I would not hire any other licensed electrician.”
Milholland Solar, Electric & Roofing
University City, CA Electricians
Oct 20, 2016
“We simply couldn't be happier with our solar installation from Milholland Electric. From the representative that came to our house to the final inspection, this was the best experience ever.The communication between the entire company and our household was magnificent. The installers were professional and very courteous and explained the entire installation process and gave us a time table for inspection which was right on target. The Sunpower Monitoring Portal is easy to use and we look forward to our electrical savings. The gals in the front office are very customer friendly and very efficient. We enjoyed working with the entire Milholland team and love the fact that they are so family oriented and El Cajon based. We would be so happy to recommend this entire team of professional to anyone that wants the great "Solar Experience". Thanks Milholland.”
