On Dec. 9, 2022, I found the contractor's advertisement (free estimate) on Craigslist. I called him and texted him the address where my tenant complained the lights inside the house intermittently flickered. The lights flicked before and then they were back to normal. After checking the electrical panel, he called me and explained to me that the circuit breakers didn't function well. By replacing the circuit breakers, the issue should be solved. He offered me two options. The first option would be to replace the circuit breakers. If the issue persists after new breakers are installed, then the second option would be to replace the panel. He gave me a quote of $1300 to replace the breakers and $977.81 to replace the panel in case the new breakers don't solve the problem. The quote to replace the panel is good till 12/23/2022 so we have 2 weeks to monitor the new breakers to see if they work. To replace the breakers, he was willing to do the job for $1186.45 if I could pay by cash or Zelle so he could avoid tax. I asked him to provide a detailed estimate breakdown of replacing circuit breakers and he refused to give me one and told me he would send it over only after the payment is received. He kept telling me and my tenant the fire hazard is imminent. Feeling the pressure from him, I agreed for him to replace the circuit breakers on the condition that only if his quote is in line with market rate. About 30 mins later, he texted me that the job was completed and the issue is solved. He demanded the payment sent to his number by Zelle. I asked again for the breakdown and he said he will send me later that evening. After numerous text message requests, he finally send me an invoice that night. He asked me to sign that invoice otherwise the quote to replace the panel will not be valid. He never gave me any detailed quote for circuit breakers replacement. Next morning, I did some research online and find out the materials cost for circuit breakers is about $200. He charged me almost $1200 to replace them. I questioned him about the charge and he finally gave me the breakdown that the cost of breakers is $204. Since then, I have obtained 2 verbal and one written estimate to replace these 8 circuit breakers. The average cost is between $450 and $500. His charge is far well above the market rate . It is a breach of verbal contract. He took advantage of the situation and it is a rip-off and price gouging. The contractor conducted illegal activity by defrauding and deceiving the homeowner. Stay away from him. A complaint was filed with contractor license board. The violation has been posted on the contractor license board's website.

Campbell Electric - Electricians Near Me

The most important thing to me when calling for any type of home contracted services, is that someone actually answers their phone. The owner of CES, Brandon Campbell did just that! Brandon dropped by my home (Yucaipa, CA) that same day of my initial phone call to get an actual visual on my various requests, he provided me with a detailed cost estimate in writing and immediately won my business. Brandon and his assistant, Cole did an amazing electrical upgrade on our home, which included the following: - Main Electrical Panel Upgrade - Added Ceiling Fans to Bedrooms, Living Room and Breezeway - Added Dusk-to-Dawn Outdoor Lighting to Garage/Driveway, Front Porch, Breezeway, Side Yard, Back Yard and Back Door/Pool Side - Added Recepticals/Outlets some with USB Charging Slots in the Kitchen, Breezeway, Living Room and Garage. - Added a Light Fixture and Switch to the Guest Hallway - Added a New Garage Door Opener The magnificent change in and out of our home has made such a huge impact on us, that it is strongly felt and seen throughout our entire home and property. Our outdoor living space is brighter, it gives us that secured feeling during the evenings, it's cost effective/energy saving and and it feels cool with the outdoor ceiling fan during the hot California weather. Our indoor living space feels so much cooler with the ceiling fans in each of the bedrooms and living room. Looking forward to not always having to run the central AC in order to keep the house cool during the hot summer days. The added light fixture and switch in the guest hallway is an excellent added touch, as there was no lighting installed when we first purchased the house. Also, the dedicated circuits to the microwave and one for the fridge has completely stopped the breaker from tripping. The owner, Brandon is an easy person to get along with, carries himself professionally and is a straight shooter in a tactful manner. He makes sure his work meets the expected standard codes of today. His quality workmanship and craftsmanship is superior. He cleans up after any mess made, which is a plus. Brandon can definitely get a lot of work done in a days work. He has so many years of experience and knows what he's doing. His pricing is competitive and lower than what most large corporate companies would charge. My Husband & I plan to utilize CES's services in the near future for further electrical upgrades done onto our home. We plan to refer his business to my Husband's business colleagues that are homeowners, as well. Also, we encourage anyone and everyone to hire CES as your one-stop-shop for any type of electrical needs/upgrades done to your home and/or place of business. This is an honest and genuine 5-Star Review from a more than satisfied customer. Brandon of CES is definitely highly recommended! read more

Spring of 2018 Brandon replaced my electrical panel and hooked up my above ground spa. He was quick, through reliable and friendly. His response time is great and you can tell he really cares about customer satisfactions. I highly recommend him and will definitely hire him again for future projects! 6/5/2019 I called Brandon and asked him to install a chandelier. He was on time, communicative, and I can tell he takes pride in his work. He did an amazing job. His pricing was half of what I was quoted from other electricians. One thing that I really appreciate about his is that he makes double sure his work will last and is done right. This is my second time working with him and I will definitely hire him again in the future. read more

Due to the Holy Fire and a rainstorm on the denuded hills above my home, a mudslide destroyed 1/2 of my property and was yellow tagged by the County of Riverside. I had to immediately cut power because of damage sustained to the pedestal connecting power lines from the street to the house. I found Brandon and Campbell Electric Solar on Yelp because I needed contractors I could trust. After my initial inquiry, Brandon contacted me at lightening speed and came out to see the problem that day. Before being under contract, he spoke with Riverside County officials for further information and cringed when delivering the news this was going to be the worst case scenario. Prior to that, he felt my system was sound and didn't want to charge a dime for anything! I cannot speak highly enough about Brandon's professionalism and proficiency. He was prompt, personable, financially reasonable and had my job done and signed off by the County in 3 days. He will definitely be recommended to anyone who asks me about a quality electrician. Hire him! read more

Contacted this company via Yelp after looking at their reviews. Very prompt in message response and gave a very reasonable quote to have 3 ceiling fans installed. Brandon was very prompt in arrival and came within the 1 hour window we agreed upon. While working at the house he was tidy, kept his areas cleaned, and did the job promised. Brandon made a recommendation that we get a universal remote for the master bedroom fan so that way we could turn it on and off from bed without getting up. There was no pressure with this idea, he was not trying to sell us anything, and merely said if we decided to get one at the Home Depot he would install/program that as well. Needless to say it was a great idea, we went and got a remote, and he installed that as well. Okay so the biggest reason he deserves 5 stars is how he had to crawl into my attic 3 times via a tiny opening in my garage, through the opening, to the main house side. I'm pretty sure my attic is everyone's version of Hell on earth yet he did it with no complaint! So Brandon and his company are my go to electrician from now on. Thanks Yelp and everyone who posted a review on here that helped me pick him. read more

I think he is extremely unprofessional. He couldn't identify the problem that needed fixing, so he deliberately damaged the good parts to make money. His service attitude is very poor. read more

Needed to get some electrical work done and was in communication with this company, but getting them to come out was impossible. I texted over and over with them completely ghosting me. If I was out of their area, or they simply didn't want to do the work, they could have been professional enough to communicate that vs just going completely silent and not responding. I wouldn't use them again, and I would suggest looking for another company to use. read more

Called this company to diagnose an electrical issue. It was a simple wiring issue. Brandon was so certain that my devices were causing the short. I trusted this guy and I agreed to replaced them. Later, he found out it was the wire that went bad. When I disputed to him about paying labor + materials that I wasn't supposed to buy, he got real mad. We were not happy with his diagnosis and his bad business practices. His response was that he is not in the business to make his customers happy which contradicts what is said on their yelp profile. The owner will take your money and run! Be careful and don't trust this company. read more

My mom found Brandon on Yelp for some electrical work she needed at her house. I decided to hire him as well...not only are his prices fair but he's also a down to earth-genuine dude who's not out to nickel and dime you. Plus he's witty and has a good sense of humor which makes for a comfortable setting. I hired Brandon to install a new dining room chandelier on a vaulted ceiling, an entry light, ceiling fan, breakfast nook light fixture and a new Honeywell digital thermostat which he did all without hesitation and gave me a very reasonable price. We also had him fix faulty wiring with our whole house fan that suddenly stopped working. There was a slight hiccup with the ceiling fan due to a unforeseen manufacturer defect (no fault to Brandon) however he did agree to come back during the weekend to finish the job once I got the part replaced. He is also very detail oriented and made several small adjustments to the chandelier to ensure it was hanging as straight as possible for a vaulted ceiling. I'm so glad I have a trustworthy electrician in my contacts now! Look no further, Brandon is the guy to call. read more

He arrived promptly at the time he said he would and he was very efficient. Worth it and I will definitely be calling him in the future if I have any other electrical problems. He installed two ceiling fans and had to rewire a few things in my kitchen. He was friendly and my little baby even stayed asleep while he worked. He cleaned up after himself which is a plus and I am happy with the end result.. read more

Super professional. Friendly and had great communication skillz. I had 3 fans replaced and installed beautifully! Thank you

Campbell Electric came out to my home to install two ceiling fans. The installation was complex because there was no lighting in those rooms and they had to crawl in the attic to complete the install. I am very pleased with Brandon's work. So much so that I am going to have him repair my recessed lighting that was not done properly. read more

Called Campbell today to help troubleshoot my GFCI issue I thought I had. He came out and diagnosed my it and learned that everything was actually working as it should.

I'd recommend him to anyone! read more

Brandon came out and fixed a problem with my porch lights. Friendly service and good pricing. Will be using his services again.

We had this company completely rewire our home to take plugs off of switches and put ceiling fans in every room. The work was done quickly, professionally, and very reasonably priced. Cleaned up after themselves and walked us through each step of the way. read more

Overall, Campbell Electric Solar is a professional company that delivers quality results at a fair price. I would highly recommend them! I underwent a major house renovation project in Cathedral City and out of multiple contractors, Brandon was my favorite. I don't know what it is about contractors in the desert cities, but most of them think they are the boss. Brandon didn't have that attitude. He is very customer oriented, listens and treats you very fairly. The details of my project: I had a swimming pool under construction in my backyard and needed the overhead power line moved (which was from the pole to the top of the house). Brandon spearheaded the effort by reaching out to Socal Edison and figuring out exactly what needed to be done. He worked with the Edison planner on a new underground route for power from the house (and installing a new main panel) to the nearby hand hole in the ground. Edison designed the new route and Brandon executed the trench work and establishing the new main panel. He made sure Edison and city inspectors were involved and were being fair and responsible (some times they can be overly picky based on personal preferences). In addition to other countless and great things Brandon did for me, he helped fix my pool contractor's blatantly shoddy electrical work, in which they hooked the pool equipment up to the old panel (now a sub-panel), instead of the new main panel, and did so in a way that was not safe and legal (although it passed the city pool inspection). Long story short, I had a lot of stress on my mind from my other contractors and their work. I was lucky to have Brandon there helping me out and can't say enough about his professionalism, work ethic, and his standards for quality work and a happy customer. read more

I work in the Real Estate Industry and I am always looking for good contractors which are hard to come by. Brandon started out excellent in a project of replacing outlets, adding cans however it turned out that he isn't one for finishing a job. He installed several outlets in which over 6 of them he left hanging out. Two switches don't have power to them and then he cracked our ceiling slipping. Once that happened he said "I guess I am working for Free and I am no longer motivated" I thought he was kidding but haven't seen him since. I now have to hire a second Electrician to come out and fix his uncompleted job. I tried reaching out several times via text, phone and tried email but I guess I had the wrong email and no response. It takes alot for me to write a negative review about anyone so those that know me know that If I am writing this is because Brandon was unprofessional on not responding and or finishing a job that he was paid for. read more

Great, fast and reliable work. Reasonably priced, the technician that came out assessed my roof for solar panels within the same day that I called. He was able to give me a quote that same day which I appreciated very much because I wanted to move forward ASAP. I did compare pricing before confirming to give this company the work, and by far am happy I went with them. Installation alone was completed in just 3 Days! read more

EXCELLENT service. Contacted Brandon late last night via the Yelp quoter. He answered immediately and said he would be out the next morning. He checked my fuse box and realized I had a tripped fuse, even though it didn't look tripped. He didn't charge me for the visit (which is extremely rare for an electrician). I will tell all my friends about him, and use him for all of my future projects! read more

Brandon the owner was outstanding. He was very honest and very accommodating and went out of his way to make sure everything was correct. I would definitely use this company again and I would recommend them highly. The price was fair for what was done and he turned me onto this cool App to pay and it was immediate. Give this guy a try you won't be disappointed. read more

Brandon was professional, kind and knew what he was doing. His price was reasonable. I would be happy to refer others and use him again. ;)

Just plain awesome! Very timely, inexpensive and pleasant to work with. I needed to two outlets in my garage. One was simple. The other could not be added because there was not enough space in my electrical box. So they immediately provided a easy more affordable solution for the second outlet. Great service! I would definitely use them again and they are place in my phone. read more
