I hired Sterling to move and install a kitchen ceiling light, and he really went above and beyond. I ended up not liking the first light he installed, and he was more than willing to take the time to hang a second one for me. The second installation turned out to be more complicated than expected, but he stayed patient and worked hard to get everything right. Even with the extra time and effort--including my request for the second fixture--he didn't want to charge more than his original quote, which really impressed me. I truly appreciated his work ethic and would definitely recommend him. read more

Tl;DR: Sterling is a great and honest electrician. He helped save me thousands of dollar by giving me his assessment of my project. I had an issue where several outlets stopped working. I contacted an electrician through yelp and he came by ran some tests and told me I had to run new wires through my house and said the wires were getting hotter than normal. The project would cost 4k and that didn't include repair to my drywall. I sat with that quote for a few days and contacted SD Electric. When Sterling came he was professional and communicated well through the yelp app. He ran some tests and determined that the breaker was bad. I asked Sterling if he saw any unusual wear and tear and he said no. Ultimately Sterling saved me a ton of money, he replaced the breaker and fixed the temporary fixes the other electrician did. I'm glad I went through SD Electric, the owner is honest and helped save me from doing unnecessary repair work to my house. read more

Sterling was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and professional with my recent Tesla Wall charger installation on my new build home. He communicated well, and made sure to follow up a week prior to the appointment to confirm time. Throughout the installation he was very willing to answer questions, provide insight and explain the entire process. His pricing is very transparent, and the work was completely in a timely manner, without cutting any corners. I would absolutely recommend him for any future work, in fact I've already scheduled for him to come back and do some more electrical work for another part of the house! read more

Very knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and efficient. He quickly identified that my EV outlet was the wrong type and explained the issue clearly. He replaced the breaker, installed the correct NEMA 14-50 receptacle, added a proper electrical box, and made sure everything was safe and built to prevent future overheating or fire risks. Professional work, great attention to detail, and excellent communication. I highly recommend him. read more

Sterling was prompt, professional, and transparent throughout his service. We'd reached out to several electricians, Sterling was not only the most communicative, he was also the most willing to go out of his way to help us, ensure we were getting the proper parts, and stuck true to his original quote. He came out same-day for the walkthrough, ordered the parts, and completed his work the next day. His rate exceeded expectations, and his work was confirmed to be professional and well done by the HVAC service that was pending his installation. Quick responses, honest rates, and high quality results. Highly recommend SD ELECTRIC. read more

I previously hired Sterling at SD Electric for two smaller jobs, both of which were done well. Based on that experience, I hired him to install a whole-house fan after he assured me he had significant experience with these installations. Unfortunately, the installation was done improperly. He cut the drywall before taking proper measurements and created a restrictive "funnel" that significantly reduced the fan's airflow. When I raised concerns about conditioned air escaping into the attic, he attempted to seal it. During that process, Sterling fell through my ceiling, causing significant damage and leaving insulation and debris throughout my bedroom. This was the only room in my home with a popcorn ceiling. Because the repairman could not match the existing texture, I now have the additional expense of having the popcorn ceiling removed and the entire ceiling repaired and repainted. Sterling attempted to repair the damage himself but was unsuccessful and agreed to have it professionally repaired. After receiving the repair invoice, he stopped responding for approximately three weeks and has ultimately declined to reimburse me. I am now paying for both the property damage and an HVAC professional to correct the fan installation. While my previous experiences with Sterling were positive, this project resulted in significant damage, additional expenses, and an unresolved reimbursement dispute. I cannot recommend SD Electric Edit-8/11/26 3:12PST Sterling, I appreciate you acknowledging that you accidentally stepped through the ceiling and that your attempted repair was unsuccessful. However, I want to clarify a few points for anyone reading this. The professional repair invoice I provided did not include the cost of removing or repainting the popcorn ceiling. I am paying that additional expense out of pocket because the repairman could not match the existing texture. Therefore, it is incorrect to characterize that cost as part of the invoice or as something I asked you to pay. Regarding communication, after I provided the professional repair invoice, you stopped responding to my messages for approximately three weeks despite multiple follow-ups. Communication only resumed after I posted my reviews. I made several attempts to resolve this directly before doing so. My review is not based on the fact that an accident occurred. It is based on the overall outcome of the project, the additional property damage, the need for professional repairs, the issues with the fan installation, the expenses I have incurred, and the difficulty obtaining a resolution afterward. I appreciate the work you did for me previously, but this particular project did not meet the standard I expected, and I believe future customers deserve to know about my experience. read more

I had a disappointing experience with this electrician. I initially contacted him to install a bathroom exhaust fan and a door chime, and I was quoted $250 for both jobs. During our phone conversation, I specifically mentioned that the exhaust fan is a moisture-sensing model that should automatically turn on and off based on humidity. He sounded very confident and said he had done many similar jobs before. After completing the installation, he told me that the moisture control feature is built into the fan. I also mentioned I had a few light switches I wanted to replace. These switches were all working fine and only needed cosmetic updates, and he indicated this would be a simple add-on. However, after spending about 2.5 hours, the pricing changed and was charged on an hourly basis, bringing the total to $625--far higher than the original quote. After the job is done, he claimed the exhaust fan was working. Yes, it works if you manually turn it on or off, but the moisture-sensing feature does not function at all. After taking a 30-minute shower, the fan did not turn on automatically. I had to turn it on manually, and even after 2 hours, the fan did not turn off on its own. I have installed the exact same model of exhaust fan in my other house before, so I know the correct behavior. However, the installation done here is completely wrong, as the fan does not operate as it should. Additionally, the door chime is still not functioning. As a result, I now have to hire another electrician to redo the work. In fact, having incomplete or incorrect work is worse than not starting at all, as it has wasted both my time and money. Overall, the work was not completed as expected, the pricing was not consistent with the original quote, and the results were unsatisfactory. I would not recommend based on this experience. read more

I had SD Electric come out to troubleshoot an issue with some outlets and lights that suddenly stopped working. I found them through Yelp, and they responded quickly and provided a very reasonable quote. They were able to diagnose the problem as an open neutral wire and took the time to track down the issue. They found a solution by tapping into an adjacent neutral wire in the junction box and were able to get everything working again. I was impressed with their professionalism, knowledge, and honesty throughout the process. Great service from start to finish. I would definitely recommend SD Electric to anyone needing electrical work done. read more

Thank you, Evonne read more

Gave me a flat rate price and allowed me to text him for details (I'm a millennial, no way I want to have someone call me). He arrived on time, and was in and out super fast. We don't need an electrician often, but when we do, I know exactly who to call. Thank you! read more

More than 2 months and he didn't return my money and he also block my number. I have to hire another company to pull the permit and finish his mess. They found undersized breaker for charger, neutral wire fell out, box was loose in the wall. Be careful when you hire him because he doesn't have licence so you don't have any warranty. read more

Sterling Douglas did not finish the job he was paid to do. He repeatedly did not show up when he said he would and would be non responsive for days. he used the wrong tubing for my misters; luckily I checked. I ordered the proper tubing but he never came back to fix it. He installed a smart thermostat and did not finish set up and it did not work. He also leaves a mess and does not clean up. he put concrete bits he took out into my garden refuse bucket and I struggled to take it out to the curb. He is a smooth talking salesman who claims he can do anything g. He cannot. read more

Doug was fantastic to work with. He came out the same day to install an outlet for my dishwasher, and when another burnt outlet issue came up that a previous handyman couldn't figure out, Doug returned the very next day to help. He was able to quickly trace the problem, even going into the attic to locate and repair the break efficiently. His rates are very reasonable, he responds quickly, and his work is reliable and professional. I highly recommend Doug for any electrical or handyman work! read more

It's always nice to find an electrician who is well-versed in all the required methods, equipment, and codes. But doubly nice to find an electrician who is also human, and able to figure out problems that are a little out of the ordinary. My "Possible blown breaker, possible faulty power strip" problem also involved a 55 year-old house, breaker box and wiring system. Sterling was able to deal with every twist and turn, and had me up and running again pretty quickly. I have a spiffy new wall outlet, a shiny new power strip, and everything's working. Thank you for the rescue, Sterling! read more

I'm happy with the results and would recommend them for similar projects. read more
