I am late posting this review but better late than never. I was looking to have two fans installed - one in our living room and one in the bedroom. Checo Electric came in with a competitive bid and was extremely responsive when I had additional questions. I hired them and we scheduled an appointment and they showed up a few minutes early which was refreshing. Carlos and his staff were professional, knowledgeable and friendly. They worked efficiently and before long I had two working fans which will hopefully keep us cooler this year. We would totally hire Carlos for any additional electrical work needed. read more

Requested a quote via Yelp's "Projects" setting for a new ceiling fan installation and they responded with an estimate. Scheduled service within one week, electrician arrived 15min early (which is great) to the time window. Very friendly, courteous, and worked efficiently. Kept me updated with the ceiling fan installation (our space is weird so there had to be a few decisions about the installation and aesthetic choices). I think he was here less than 1 hour. Very professional and easy to work with. Would 100% recommend them and will use them again for any future electrician home projects. And this might sound odd, but he had a very quiet / calm voice which was a very nice change! Most technicians or repair people have this like...boomy super yell-y construction worker voice that's always on volume 10 and this guy was so calm and didn't upset our very skittish cat in the other room (my cat always freaks out and hides with loud voices but he was chill the whole time and even watched the electrician leave from his cat tree window). Obviously not something I'd expect or look for haha but it was a total bonus! Lastly the price was great and more in line with my budget and expectations for the job size. Thanks guys! :D *Updated with a pic of the fan* read more

Checo Electric - New ceiling fan, cute little thing from Home Depot perfect for this small room - Electricians Near Me - National City, California

Carlos, the owner, and Matt did a great job. I got 3 driveway lights installed. There was no pre-existing wiring so they had to run EMT conduit inside my finished garage and wire everything to an existing outlet. The lights are controlled via a WiFi light switch that I provided them. Overall, the job was done to my request. Light installation is very clean looking and like a professional installed it. To add, Carlos has very competitive pricing. So, if you want quality work and want to get it at a good price, make sure to hire him. Lastly, if you're active duty, make sure to ask about the military discount. He'll throw in a 10% off. I'm definitely going with Checo Electric for future electrical work. read more

Zero stars if I could rate the service my mother received from Checo electric in early December 2022. The electricity in her house went out on a circuit we were unable to locate. I decided to let my mom reach out to this company to see if they could help determine what the problem was due to the 5 star reviews they have online. Two technicians (including the owner) came to the property to try and troubleshoot the problem. They both could not determine the cause. The owner charged her $180.00 to come and did nothing. He stated they work on an hourly basis. The circuit is still not working to this day. In my opinion, no reliable or ethical electrician would take pay for not finding the problem or doing absolutely nothing. The owner even had the nerve to call back and ask my mom if she still needed assistance-- absolutely ridiculous and dishonest company. 1/21023- The issue was resolved with another neighboring company. The issue was not what Checo informed my mother, unfortunately. All the plumbing and electrical work in the home has been completed by licensed contractors. I honestly feel the diagnosis we received was a cop out. As the owner stated below, they were here for 2 hours and probably couldn't find the root of the issue, therefore we were told it was past "handyman" work-- which is an assumption not fact. It was promptly fixed to our satisfaction by Ochoa Electric. After reviewing Checo's customer reviews, I have come to the conclusion they are able to handle simple projects-- installations. If you are experiencing a severe electrical problem that requires troubleshooting, I would highly suggest going to another company like my family and I did and save your money to put towards the repair. read more

Carlos is very reliable and priced fairly. He's currently my goto electrician and really bailed me out of a bad situation caused by unreliable electricians. I've had him wire my circuit breaker, add outlets, install 2 chandeliers (including a 100lbs chandelier over a staircase), 3 pendants, investigate unknown circuits, add 4 ceiling fans (including one on a vaulted ceiling with no preexisting wiring), add multiple can lights both inside and outside, fix my doorbell, etc. What else can you ask from your electrician? read more

When we moved into our new house we wanted ceiling fans installed. I got multiple quotes and Carlos responded promptly and with one of the best price estimate for the job. When many other companies wanted to charge me for an estimate, Carlos did it for free. He came over as scheduled, was friendly, professional, and had a good vibe about him. After having him install a few ceiling fans, and loving his positive attitude and work. We hired him for other jobs around the house. Carlos installed a total of 8 ceiling fans in the house, a chandelier, WiFi lighting switches, exterior lights in the front and backyard, put plate covers on old recessed lighting, and fix outlets throughout the house. Throughout his time working with us, he communicated well, was very flexible on scheduling, gave us a military/law enforcement discount, was a licensed electrician with experience, was trustworthy, emailed receipts and was always punctual, worked hard, and was the best around. When all the electrical work was done, we definitely missed seeing him over on weekends. Lol. ;-) So if you're looking for an electrician you can count on, and that will do great work, with the best prices around, look no further, Checo Electric is the best company around. read more

I requested a quote, and Checo Electric was the best price by far. They had availability next day, gave me a time frame, and honored the day/time they promised. They were communicative and accommodating. Accepted electronic payment and the technician was friendly and super fast!! I needed an outlet installed for me electric vehicle and no joke, he did the install in less that 30 minutes. Overall amazing experience and seamless transaction. Would highly recommend Checo Electric to anyone! read more

We attempted and failed to install a remote control ceiling fan. Having installed pendant lights and ceiling fans in the past we figured the remote control component would be a non issue. We ran into a hard stop due to the size of the remote control receiver; making it difficult to properly ground and connect the wires. In addition we also misplaced a wire. And finally because of the size of the receiver we were unable to secure the light cover properly. As a result our breaker shut off the power leaving our daughter in the dark for a single night (she survived). As luck would have it that side of the house also contained our wifi panel and extender. Working from home with no wifi and a single hot spot was brutal. I immediately created a work order and requested quotes from 10 electric companies. Carlos was the second to respond. He was reasonable, upfront with his pricing (flat rate), responsive, and professional. More importantly his electrician Charlie arrived on site ahead of schedule and had the ceiling fan properly installed in 30 minutes. Charlie walked us through our error, worked quickly, efficiently, left his workspace clean, and was respectful of our property. If you are in need of peace of mind, quality work, and believe in supporting small veteran owned businesses ..... Call Carlos and his team of electricians. You will not be disappointed! read more

Great service! Had a doorbell transformer installed to power my video doorbell. The pro who came out was punctual, friendly and fast. He also explained everything he was doing which was great since I know very little about electrical work. They even came back the next day at no charge when I had an issue installing my doorbell. Apparently I must have purchased a bad transformer that quit working between the time it was installed and when I installed my doorbell. Highly recommend. I'll definitely think of calling them next time I need electrical work done. read more

No show for today's appointment. Not even a phone call or text to let me know why. NEXT...

Decided to give this company a try. I'm glad I did. Looks like we found ourselves a new electrician company. We got a recessed lighting project with new switches done for 3 rooms. Upfront reasonable price for the job. The work they did was very clean with minimal holes to the drywall. The recessed lights were very precisely measured and centered to the rooms. Certainly know what they are doing Will use them again in the future. Highly recommend for any electrical work. read more

Checo was very quick with their response, had reasonable rates and were available in a timely manner. On the say of the appointment they arrived earlier than expected after calling to confirm I was home. This worked out wonderfully for my schedule. The owner is a Navy Veteran and I like to be able to support local veteran owned businesses. He's very personable as well as knowledgeable as we had a lot of similarities. I would recommend and hire them again for all of my electronic needs in the future. read more

Carlos replaced our front motion sensor light and he was awesome! Showed up he said, friendly & professional and remembered to text me instead of knocking on the door so that my dog wouldn't freak out. He actually went to Home Depot to get a new light for us (payed for his time of course). That's top-notch service right there! The job was a little trickier than we previously thought, and he tried several different things to finally make it work. Added bonus is that my dog likes him. Happy to find an electrician we can trust. read more

Carlos and Gustavo came in this morning to work on my chandelier project. The project was install a chandelier over an existing recessed light on a high ceiling. He had to improvise with the project since the recessed light converter kit I had was missing a piece and added time to the job. However, Carlos was able to think quick on his feet and was able to whip up a modification to ensure the project can be done. They were able to complete the project about 3 hours and cleaned up everything nicely. The installation looks nice clean with no holes from the recessed lighting. Everything looks nice and sturdy and I'm very happy with my new chandelier. I would definitely hire Checo again! Awesome work guys! read more

I hired Carlos to install an outlet under an outdoor patio. At first he said his earliest availability was in a week, but called the next say to say that an appointment had become available that day. He was a complete pro the entire time and was very transparent (and fair) with his pricing. I'd definitely hire him the next time I need electrical work done. read more

Carlos was first to respond to my request, had the most competitive price, did an AMAZING job installing my new Tesla wall connector / charger. He was highly professional and wore mask in consideration of COVID. He even came back the day after install to double check everything was working properly. I will definitely recommend Carlos to others. My wife is a real estate agent and Carlos is now on top of her list for client referrals. read more

These guys are awesome!!! I had two circuits that went out in my house and Carlos and another person was able to find the issue and repaired the problem. I initially thought it was my panel going out but they said the my panel is still in good working condition which gave me relief because panels are expensive to replace. Now I can wrap up all those extension cords all over my house and put them back in my garage where they belong. They are professional, honest and their customer service was excellent!!! Thank you Carlos and team for a job well done!! read more

I wish I could give 6 STARS. Carlos and his crew were phenomenal. Carlos, a Navy veteran displayed the utmost professionalism while installing a bathroom fan at home. I called for several days to local electricians and NOBODY could touch Check Electric prices. They were quick and efficient and he also honors a military discount. Again, no one CAN beat their prices. Will be using them forever while stationed in Santee. read more

I got quotes from three different electricians that were all highly recommended on Yelp, but I went with Checo Electric, I c because not only were they the only ones that came out in-person to get a visual of the work requested, but they were also the best priced. I had 4 ceiling fans and one pendent light fixture replaced. I was quite happy with the results. Only downside is they didn't do disposal/recycling of the old ceiling fans and pendent light, but I was able to drive out to Miramar to get them recycled. Other than that, I was very pleased with everything and I would use them again. read more

I hired Carlos based on his quick response and what seemed a reasonable estimate (below the average quote I got elsewhere). After 4 hours, he was unable to return power to my apartment. I paid cash and he has not answered multiple attempts at getting a receipt from him. read more

The team was very friendly and helpful with getting the appointment set up and at the appointment itself. Carlos and Matt fixed my wiring problem quickly and with minimal mess. They even explained each step as they performed it (which helped my peace of mind) and cleaned up thoroughly at the end. Overall, I'm incredibly happy to have a working light switch, and am glad the process was so easy. Thank you!! read more

What an amazing company! Carlos first of all was really responsive with my questions and quotes. Was able to fit in all the I needed to get done in that time the guys were here. The prices was absolutely reasonable! Matt And Charley provided exceptional customer service and quality of work. I wish I would have found y'all sooner. I appreciate your guys! Thank you again! read more

Carlos and his team we're punctual, professional, friendly and efficient in providing electrical services at my home.  They completed several tasks including replacing a light switch, replacing a GFCI outlet, and installing new electrical outlets in the garage.  Carlos had great communication and provided great service on the additional work requested.   I highly recommend Checo Electric.  Thank you! read more

Carlos did a fantastic job wiring my shed. He is very professional, hard worker and reliable. Will call Carlos for my future needs and referred him to my HOA. read more

Carlos was quick to respond and was the most reasonable when it came to prices. I always prioritize supporting veteran owned and minority owned business and I was happy to learn that this was a veteran owned company! We initially hired Carlos to install a smart timer for our pool salt generator. Recently, he just finished installing two outlets in our garage and a light fixture in our den. We have an older home and are slowly working on getting our electrical updated. Very much pleased with the workmanship and Check Electric's services. We plan on using Carlos and his team for future work! read more

I hired Carlos recently to install some recessed lights and another kitchen light fixture. The price was right and the job was done quickly, efficiently, and safe (Carlos and his assistant, Kim, both wore masks the whole time). Even prior to hiring Checo Electric, Carlos helped me pick out the lights I needed (I am clueless). Would definitely recommend. read more

Carlos's team helped bring several receptacle up to code. Transparent with the workload, efficient, with competitive pricing. Highly recommended! read more

The Checo team was extremely professional including practicing COVID safety practices. They installed two outlets and a garage light in under 3 hours and did a fantastic job. I will use them again on future electrical work. read more

Great reliable service, had them replace my main panel outside which was the cause of low power been delivered to the house and i couldn't even use the vacuum cleaner without making sure no other power source was been used, priced right, left the work area clean as if nothing ever happened, and ensure all my issues were resolved, thank you . read more

I would give 10 stars if there is a 10 to choose!! Very friendly and courteous crew. Got my front door light done in no time. Appointment are set up at a lighting speed and very reasonably priced! Highly recommended!! read more

I highly recommend Checo Electric. Being new homeowners, we didn't know how to reset our AFCI breaker after it tripped. Matt came over on short notice to assess the situation. He quickly identified the problem and educated us on the issue so that if it happens again, we can reset the breaker on our own. He also went above and beyond to replace redundant GFCI outlets that could cause our system to trip again. We really appreciated the professionalism and attention to detail. Thanks, Matt! read more

Used this company to install an outlet into my garage so I could install a second fridge. It would require running a new line into it because my current configuration couldn't support the load! This would entail running wire under my house foundation because my garage and breaker are in opposite side of the house. Quote was very reasonable compared to others I had received. They were prompt to start work and didn't stop until the job was done. I was glad to see pride of workmanship and knew I made the right decision! read more

Thanks to the great Yelp reviews, I hired Carlos and was not disappointed! He was very helpful and responsive when scheduling the appointment. He and Gustavo did an excellent job repairing dimmer switches throughout my house, several outlets, and a light fixture. Carlos ran out to get dimmer switches to match the existing ones while Gustavo worked on other items. They worked efficiently and safely (wearing masks), were very competitive on pricing, and did an excellent job. I highly recommend Checo Electric! read more
