An Exceptional Electrical Upgrade Experience with Duke Electric -- True Professionals Who Get It Right the First Time! If you're looking for an honest, skilled, and detail-oriented electrical contractor who listens and delivers exactly what you envisioned -- call Duke Electric in Campbell, CA. After years of research and hesitation, I finally found the right team -- Duke Nguyen, Eddie Carrera, and Alex Miranda -- to modernize my home's electrical system. Their work was phenomenal. After installing my Tesla Solar Roof in 2021, I knew I needed to upgrade my 200A breaker panel for future EV chargers and smarter monitoring. I first looked into the SPAN IO Smart Panel, but after months of poor communication and unreliable installers, I walked away. Two panels would've been required -- nearly $13K just for hardware -- and confidence was low. Other contractors quoted $25K-$35K, pushed 400A upgrades, and refused to use Leviton Load Centers. I wasn't convinced, so I waited -- and that proved wise. In 2025, Leviton launched its 2nd-Gen Smart Breakers, offering remote ON/OFF control and per-circuit monitoring. Backed by 100 years of safety, it was the clear choice over any startup. The Project -- Smart Design & Craftsmanship Duke replaced my old panel with a three-panel 225A Leviton system featuring full smart monitoring: * Main 225A All-in-One: Meter lower right, 30 spaces above. * 42-Space Subpanel: Added beside the main for expansion. * 20-Space Subpanel: Dedicated for two Tesla Wall Connectors, one on each side of the garage -- no visible conduit, perfectly symmetrical. With Leviton's Whole-Home Monitor, I can track each circuit and toggle breakers remotely. Duke's crew also reorganized decades of messy wiring into a clean, labeled setup. Why I Chose Duke Before Duke, another company had the permit and PG&E disconnect scheduled -- then canceled two days before, blaming an unsigned, incomplete quote. Frustrated, I contacted several companies on Sept 22. Duke responded first and arrived that same noon. Within minutes he spotted errors in the materials the prior contractor told me to buy -- total pro. Others either seemed overwhelmed or tried to simplify my plan. Duke was different -- confident and resourceful. Because I already had a Tesla Solar Roof, he coordinated a custom offset service pipe through his fabrication partner. While others declined, Duke embraced the challenge. Pre-Work -- Preparation & Precision Days before PG&E's disconnect, Duke's team began pre-work: installing the main subpanel, EV subpanel, and two Tesla chargers, while rerouting tangled old conduits into a tidy junction box. This prep ensured that on disconnect day, they could remove the old panel, mount the new one with the offset conduit, and restore power the same day. Opening the stucco revealed an out-of-code service pipe, poorly bent and misaligned. Duke and Eddie measured precisely, corrected multiple violations, and ran 125A feeders through the attic to the EV subpanel. Every conduit was straight, every label exact, and the worksite spotless. PG&E & Inspection Day Before 7 AM, Duke and Eddie were already on-site checking everything. When PG&E arrived at 7:25, they disconnected service, and the team immediately replaced the old panel and conduit with the new Leviton Load Center. By noon all wiring was complete. That afternoon, the city inspector asked for a redundant ground -- unnecessary but easy. Duke's crew added it, and PG&E reconnected power the same day. Stucco & Finishing Touches Before the meter-release inspection, Duke's stucco partner repaired the exterior wall, added insulation, moisture paper, and mesh -- fixing poor insulation likely dating back to 1962. I even ran out to grab insulation, which they used on the spot. Because the first inspector wasn't electrical, the final sign-off was rescheduled. After the Oct 20 inspection, the stucco team returned: first sealing with concrete, then on Nov 1 finishing with an acrylic coat perfectly matching the original texture. On Nov 2, Duke personally came for a full walkthrough, verifying every detail before calling it done. Final Thoughts Duke Electric isn't just another contractor -- they're masters of their craft. Duke, Eddie, and Alex work with precision, pride, and integrity. Duke often said he could only take on such a complex job because of his amazing team -- from his pipe-fabrication partner to the stucco crew. Had I stayed with the previous company, I'd have been left in limbo with an unapproved permit and an exposed wall. Instead, I thank God for that cancellation -- it led me to Duke Electric. If you need an electrician for smart panels, solar integration, or EV chargers, call them. You'll get honesty, craftsmanship, and true peace of mind. They've earned my trust, my gratitude, and a lifelong customer. As Duke said with a confident smile: "Now that your main breaker is done, anything else you'll need will be a piece of cake for us."

Full lighting and wall rewire at maximum holes in wall, including new in wall tv cable runs

Duke came to our new house to quote us for what we thought was a partial knob and tube rewire and turned out to be the majority of the house. Another electrician underbid him but Duke was much clearer in sharing his concerns going in about how much we would find, and he turned out to be right. Despite a lot of extra add ons and more scope than originally expected the original quote was accurate, and the guys are incredibly professional and precise in their work. I will use Duke again in a heartbeat.

The new panel in the hallway

An Exceptional Electrical Upgrade Experience with Duke Electric -- True Professionals Who Get It Right the First Time! (I agree with George T's review) Duke came to inspect a simple problem in my kitchen (my new oven shorted out) and discovered the wiring was not to code and had to replace two electrical panels. He and his helper were thorough and worked flawlessly putting in two new panels and upgrading the main line through the attic to the third. Had the improvements not been made, we could have been victims of a fire. He is an incredible electrician, honest, who works with meticulous care, explaining every detail clearly and thoroughly. I will hire him again if any other needs come up.

I hired Duke Electric to replace / install 10 outdoor wall lights at my house. Two person team took 2 hours and completed the project with high quality. Solid value for the high quality work that the team provided. Will definitely consider Duke for future projects.

It was stressful and overwhelming, until Henry from California Power & Light stepped in. Henry responded after normal business hours because it was an emergency and immediately assessed the situation. What really stood out was how he took ownership of the entire process. He leveraged his contacts with PG&E and the city, coordinated everything that needed to happen, and moved incredibly fast. Not only did he arrange the response right away, he reworked his company's schedule to get a crew to our house the very next day. From there, he coordinated with PG&E, handled the permitting process, and got the city inspection completed within two days, something that is extremely rare in a situation like this. Beyond the technical expertise and speed, Henry was simply great to deal with. He communicated clearly, stayed calm, and brought a sense of control to what was otherwise a very stressful situation for our family. If you need an electrician who is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly advocates for his customers, Henry and California Power & Light are outstanding. We are incredibly grateful for the professionalism and urgency he brought to resolving a serious electrical emergency.

This independently owned small business has been providing standard and specialty lighting supplies for nearly 25 years. From the outside, the small shop on El Camino Real may look like it caters only to contractors, but it's a terrific resource for the homeowner too.

The guys are extremely knowledgeable and focused on customer service no matter how small your order might be. I discovered them years ago while searching for a special type of bulb that no one else carried, and I've been shopping there ever since.

There were no visible markings on this 7" bulb, and I wasn't going to take it into a Home Depot or Lowe's to find a replacement (they'd probably have to special-order it for me). The guy at the counter took one look at it, disappeared into the back and returned with its replacement! I laughed; we laughed - I was relieved not to have to change out the entire fixture! On a side note, one of the great things about this place is that they accept lightbulbs for recycling. I have been coming here for quite a while doing this (the big retailers don't do that anymore), and recently switched out all of my fluorescent bulbs for LED ones in the garage and kitchen. They took all of the old (and new) bulbs cheerfully, even though I exceeded the drop off limit. Thanks guys!
