I have always been very pleased with Ernie, who has done fabulous electrical work in my house. However, since January of this year, I have been very disappointed. He came to my house, and I explained what I needed to have done, but he never gave me an estimate. He also never returned my calls or responded to my messages. I'm disappointed because I have always been happy with his work in the past. I think I am done contacting him so I need to find another electrician. read more

We have used Duarte Electric in the past as well as recently. They are always very professional and thorough. Eddy was our latest technician and found our issue quickly and resolved it completely. We will always use Duarte Electric for our electrical needs. read more

I called Duarte Electric after another electrician failed to provide an estimate for a small job. I am so glad I did. They provided a quick estimate. The electrician showed up on time and was very professional. During the visit, my husband asked if they could add on an extra task and they were very accommodating. The work was performed very well, quickly and the price was a good value. read more

Very Professional! Great service! They gave great recommendations and were very friendly! Would definitely recommend!

Duarte Electric gave me a quote right away. Very clear explanation of situation and same day fix! Carlos was great. He replaced two of my recessed lights with LED and replaced the faulty dimmer that we rarely use with a regular switch within minutes. I will definitely call them again for all my lighting needs! Very fair pricing, good communication, good service, professional and friendly. Love this company. THANK YOU DUARTE ELECTRIC for the fast response and service! read more

Ernie, the owner at Duarte electric. Goes above and beyond to provide top quality work. I use him for my big electric jobs and home renovations. The price is reasonable and he gets me in quick! Thanks Ernie! read more

Their pricing is good. They get the job done quickly and efficiently, and discussed the options and what they would be doing so the customer knows what to expect and how to prepare. Very professional and friendly. read more

Excellent work. Reponse time was excellent. We have used them before and will again.

Ernie and his team did a fantastic job installing my fast charger. Very professional, polite and do great work. Highly recommend and will do business with again. read more

Thank you, Ernie and crew, for handling my to-do list (5 new smoke detectors, converting my kitchen light to LED, installing two motion sensor lights, and changing out my sprinkler timer). Excellent communication. I highly recommend Duarte Electric. Not only was the service excellent, the prices were very reasonable. read more

Ernie, is a nice guy and at one time did a lot of work for us at our home and rental property over the years. However, after asking numerous times for a receipt he did not reply and never provided receipts. His guys are great and always did a good job, but he would not return calls and his service seemed to go downhill. I saw other reviews where he would not provide receipts and find that strange. read more

This is the second time I have contacted Duarte Electric for residential service repair. I was greeted again by a very friendly-sounding voice which I assume is Ernie but I don't know that for sure. He was able to get Eddie out to my house within a couple of hours. Eddie, who is every bit as friendly as the voice on the phone, arrived and got right to work troubleshooting. Eddie works as though it is he who is paying the hourly rate. He wasted no time in locating the problem and repairing it. These guys are very responsive and efficient. A real pleasure to work with. read more

We had a built-in oven that was working but wasn't getting power for some reason. I found Duarte Electric in a Facebook group dedicated to recommendations for people who live in my city, and I'm so glad I did. My husband left a voicemail for Ernie around 9:30 or so, and within a half hour, we had a call-back and had made arrangements to have someone over between 11 and 1 to check out what the problem was. Ernie did an excellent job. We should have called him sooner. By 12:30 he had already come to the house, done the inspection, AND fixed the problem. We will definitely call him again when we need him! read more

We just purchased an EV and needed a Nema 14-50 plug installed in our garage. We called around for quotes that seemed a bit high compared to some research I had done. Luckily, a girlfriend recommended Duarte Electric and we gave Ernie a call. Ernie is very polite and professional. He explained everything to us in great detail, and his pricing was reasonable. We scheduled an appointment and he arrived within the scheduled time frame. The installation was done in about half an hour and we're very pleased with it. He didn't leave a big mess or try to upsell anything else. It was a very positive experience. read more

Could not be happier with the service provided. Very friendly and competitive pricing.

Our bathroom ceiling light suddenly stopped working. It wasn't the bulb nor the switch. We called Duarte and they responded right away and had someone come out the next day. Service was professional, honest and quick. The light was fixed and the communication was great the whole time. I would use them again in a heartbeat! read more

The many positive reviews I read about Duarte Electric were verified by my recent experience. I wanted to add a 240 V. Patio heater to our 13' x 14' covered patio so we could enjoy being outside during the late Fall to early Spring months. I purchased a 6,000 W. Infratech heater and called Ernie Duarte for an estimate. He was out the next morning, took time to understand what I wanted, and emailed a bid in two days. The price was fair and work started about ten days later. Ernie brought two experienced tradesmen with him that were respectful, pleasant, and focused on their work. Three hours later, an old sub-panel was replaced, rigid and flexible conduit was run, the switch was installed, the heater mounted, and the final connection was made. After checking and rechecking their work, I was presented with a detailed invoice; which I was delighted to pay. When I need additional electrical work, I will call Duarte Electric! read more

When I originally phoned Ernest to install the Ev charge in the garage, he was immediately attentive and able to complete all of the work on schedule. He came across as quite professional and volunteered to obtain the permit as well. After he installed the EV charger, I followed up with him on the permission, but he lied and said he had just returned from vacation and would check on the permit status. I contacted the city of Elk Grove and discovered that he had never applied for the permit. I also requested the invoice, but I never received a response from him. Fortunately, I only had to pay for the service fees and not the permit expenses. If you intend to utilize this service, do not pay in full until you have received all of the papers you require. I'd want to support local businesses, but this service has disappointed me. Extremely unprofessional. read more

Duarte electric helped my mother with a panel upgrade, and did a fantastic job. I needed some electrical work at my house and they came out right away and fixed the issue extremely fast! Duarte electric is the only way to go!!! Very kind, very efficient, very good!!! read more

We were looking for a 240V NEMA 14-50 outlet to charge our electric vehicle and found Duarte Electric who came out and gave us an estimate on the same day. After scheduling the install date, they showed up on time and had everything setup in less than an hour. The outlet they've installed looks and works great. Additionally, we had issues with our ceiling lights and Duarte fixed it for us as a favor without any charge. Honest people and pricing. They've respected the current coronavirus situation and wore a face mask during their visit. read more

Duarte Electric - 240V NEMA 14-50 outlet - Electricians Near Me

Great price, and responded quickly. Able to install ceiling fans in two rooms, and price quoted was better then other estimates. He took the time to change the fan blade side color, and fully explained how to operate each remote control. read more

My family used Duarte Electric since we moved to Sacramento years ago. This round, I wanted to extend 2 outdoor floodlights. On 20th Nov 2020 was extension of less than 6 feet of first floodlight. On 5th Jan 2021 was the second extension of another outdoor floodlight. Ernie has a price for 6 feet of conduit and under, additional cost of $55 for 6-15 feet. When Eddie and Carlos arrived and took measurement, this second project was 5 inches over 6 feet. They had brought with them a packet of 6 feet conduit. By now I was looking for a way not to incur that 5 inches. Eddie and Carlos called Ernie who graciously said no extra charge for the 5 inches extra so that I get to put my floodlight where I like it. Carlos headed out to buy a much longer conduit, cut over 6 feet for my second project and set to use the rest for their upcoming project elsewhere. Thank you, Duarte Electric! Ernie is definitely a customer oriented business man, my family is sure staying with Duarte Electric for all our electrical needs. Go with Duarte Electric, you are going to be a happy customer. read more

Duarte responded quickly when I inquired about getting a 240V NEMA14-30 outlet installed and gave me a quote after I sent them over some basic information about my house. On installation day, everything went smoothly. The entire job was done in less than thirty minutes. Best of all, Duarte was far less than other quotes I got from more well-known electrical companies. read more

Ernie Duarte and his team are great. A few months ago I was quoted to replace some kitchen lights that have been in my house underneath my cabinets since 2005. Outdated and burnt out. Halfway through the job, the price went up. I'm going to Be honest...I didn't want to pay more for what I considers a simple job. Howwver it was a complicated replacement that we weren't expecting and they were worth it! They showed us what was going on, direct and honest. They did an excellent job! They spent a lot of time to get my new kitchen lights completed and I would highly recommend them. I will be using their services again for more projects. read more

We called on the Friday of Thanksgiving weekend. Ernie was helpful and friendly on the phone and Eddie showed up on time. Eddie troubleshooted to locate the burned out outlet and fixed it. He went above and beyond in explaining what was wrong and how to prevent future problems. read more

I hired Ernie and his crew twice for various electrical work and both times they were awesome. Ernie is the only electrician to come to my house in-person to perform an assessment and give me a quote. The two other companies I called just wanted me to text them photos and give me a quote over the phone. The first time I hired Ernie was in Elk Grove for the following - install a ceiling fan, 6 recessed lights, an EV charger, and automatic porch light timer. My wife and I were very impressed with the quality and detail he and his crew put into the job. And they left our place spotless. All of the work and pulling the permit for the EV charger was very reasonably priced and came slightly lower than the other two quotes. The second time I hired him was a year later when we moved to a new house in Sacramento. He installed the EV charger at the new house and installed two Ring video alarm cameras. I was very happy with the work. I highly recommend and would gladly call Duarte Electric again for any electrical needs. read more

Ernie was responsive, knowledgeable, and kind. He took the time to listen, ask important questions, and solve my issue. He even showed me what he was doing as he worked and explained as he went along. Great customer service, good value. I will definitely call again for my electrical needs. read more

Duarte Electric - Service van - Electricians Near Me

I had a great experience working with Ernie and his team. He came out to our house the first time to give me a quote on installing a 14-50 NEMA outlet for our ev car as well as installing a ceiling fan indoor. Unlike other competitors, the site visit was free of charge. His price for the work was also reasonable when compared to others. On the day of the installation, his team arrived ready to work. It took them as long as, if not quicker than what he initially estimated. The workmanship was top notch, and they were very courteous when going in and out of our house and garage. Ernie also worked with the city to get us the necessary permit for the work. Overall, we would work with Ernie and his team again for future electrical work needs. read more
