So grateful they were able to get it to me super fast! If you need a light fixed just take it over there and see what they can do before having to buy a new one.

I'll be going there for my lighting and fan needs. Thanks again!!

Anthony was very friendly and punctual. The team that he works with were also friendly and on-time. I was concerned about dust, but was so impressed with how clean they kept everything from start to finish. Anthony has an excellent eye for design, and was very helpful with suggestions for spacing and placement. He was also sure to take care of all the details, including removing existing speakers and lights that would no longer fit and properly patching up holes. They did exceptional work, and we are so happy with the finished product. We look forward to working with him again for our lighting.

I contacted Duke about wiring and installation of 3 fans…read more Of the 4 different electrical contractors that we contacted he was the most responsive and understood exactly what we needed, even though I sent the same message via Yelp to the other contractors. His pricing was similar to the others and he understood that I didn't want any drywall damage. The others could or would not accomodate this request. He was flexible about the day and time for installation and worked around remote work meetings schedules and separate fan delivery from Home Depot. He was able come by on a Friday and his crew were able to pre wire in everything in a couple of hours without any holes in the drywall by pulling the wire through the existing conduit. The fans arrived the next day on Saturday and he was able to again accomodate the remote work meeting schedule and able to install these very nice fans in a couple of hours and even immediately corrected the tilted rod that one of his crew had installed incorrectly. I am a perfectionist and one of the most difficult people to impress and gotta say I was very impressed. We were impressed by his communications, punctuality, and flexibility. We recommend Duke Electric for any electrical jobs whether they are large or small.

Knowledgable team but beware of up-charges…read more Duke and his team were able to detect the problem quickly in our home when other electricians had failed so I give him due credit for it. However, we discussed in detail over the phone that his initial fee would cover diagnostics and repair if done within the first hour. As soon as the team found the issue (10mins) they figured a socket needed to be relocated. Immediately an upcharge of $100 was mentioned on grounds that it was too much additional labor. They put a new socket and plate but it did not feel justified for the up charge. They were out within the hour. EDIT: Within 10mins of the neutral review I got a text message from the owner threatening to report to the city on some work where they had no knowledge of how/ where/ what was done. I responded that they don't need to blackmail and that it will posted on yelp too (screenshot attached). Immediately I got a call where the owner started to put up a fight. Never seen such practice. Just for this I have taken a star off!

Need lighting? Skip the big box hardware stores and fancy showrooms and head to Bay Lighting…read moreSupply. 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. You'll be greeted with a smile by Dave (aka "Gabby") and occasionally by his business partner Rob. 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. I highly recommend Bay Lighting Supply for all your lighting needs!

I love this place - small, unassuming, been here forever, has everything and more! I brought in an…read moreunder-the-counter lightbulb from a fixture dated at least a few decades old! 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!

No one at the big box stores knew what these were, so I went to Lamps Plus where I should have gone first. The staff member in the "bulb department" identified both immediately. He had the newer compatible LED bulb for the ceiling fixture and wrote down the complete ID for the old floor lamp bulb as well as where to get it online. This wasn't the first time I found odd or old bulbs at Lamps Plus as well as several great lamps. It's a great store with staff who really know their lamps, fixtures, bulbs, and furniture.

They explained that due to our vaulted ceilings, there would likely be some drywall cutting but they would do their best to avoid it. They completely exceeded our expectations--no drywall had to be cut at all! This was a huge relief, especially since I was hosting the very next day. The work was done efficiently and professionally, and communication throughout was excellent. I would 100% use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for skilled and considerate electricians.

I have a pair of bedside lamps that one of them needed the pull chain replaced. The original pull…read morechain was string type and finally after years of pulling on and off, it started showing the wear and tear and began to fray. The fraying started a while ago and I was procrastinating about replacement, but now it was to a point that it was going to snap at any time, and it was time to replace. I was debating on replacing the lamp rather than spend the money to repair and I decided to repair it. I dropped it off on a Saturday afternoon and woman said it would be ready by Monday. I wasn't expecting it to be replaced so quickly. The cost of the replacement socket--the pull chain couldn't be replaced on its own--was $9.50, reasonable. The labor though was $28, and the total cost was almost $40. While I could have just purchased a new bed lamp for less than that, considering the alternative was having an otherwise good lamp go to landfill. I thought it was worth it price and now my lamp will last many more years. If you have lamp repairs, I would definitely bring it to Carlos Lighting for repair and support this local Mom and Pop business.

When our main breaker failed and a hot leg melted into the panel, we were suddenly dealing with a…read moredangerous electrical situation and the possibility of being displaced from our home. 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.
