Checo Electric

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.

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.

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!

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.

Very satisfied with the whole process, from the time I inquired to the day my Light fixture was installed, Excellent! Communication: 5/5 for Carlos and Matt.                                                        Price: 5/5                                       Service and Professionalism: 5/5 for Matt                                                                Will be using their services again for
my island pendant light install. Thank you.

Checo Electric was wondering, hired to install

- outlet above the fire place to mount TV
- install 2 bathroom exhaust fan
- change bathroom switch from 3 to 2

happy with the work. did a nice job of clean cuts on the dry wall. makes it easier to do patch work

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.

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?

Great low price to install our ceiling fan in the nursery. Fast communication! Thank you!

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.

Carlos was very responsive, courteous, and a huge help.  Would definitely recommend!

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!

Carlos and his team were efficient and were able to install an outlet in the middle of our living room. I was impressed by their price and how quickly they got the job done.

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.

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!

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!!

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!

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!

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.

Great value for the money!! Excellent job. Way lower than any other estimates that I had received. Was able to perform the job quickly, efficiently and professionally!! Will be using his services to install our ceiling fans.

Excellent service! Able to get someone out in a timely fashion, they were on time and did great work. Installed several light switches and a smart doorbell, all while dealing well with some of the jankiness of my old house's wiring. Great work, will definitely use again and can recommend to everyone!

They are very responsive and at a reasonable price. Wound up finding the problem that I couldn't find and got fixed. I would definitely recommend them!!

Matt came over to our house to install two pendant lights above our dining room. Matt did a great job, and Carlos, the owner, was terrific to work with from start to finish. A small business right here in our backyard in Chula Vista. My wife and I are super proud to be able to support this small and growing business. If you need something electrical done in your house, give them a call, you will not regret it.

Carlos at Checo electric was extremely knowledgeable and professional. They've done two jobs for me and each time they go above and beyond with superb customer service. I highly recommend them for any of your electrical needs.

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.

Inquired about adding a 20 amp outlet in my garage. Carlos was very responsive and expeditious with a quote and booking an appointment. His team came in, surveyed the area, and went right to work. They were quick, friendly, and responsive as well. Once they were completed, they explained to me the install and helped me with any questions I had. I will definitely use Checo Electric for future electrical work and I highly recommend their business.

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!!

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.

Carlos and his team Matt and Charlie did a great job installing 5 new hardwired smoke/carbon monoxide alarms, replaced and re-wired 3 outlets. They were all extremely respectful, worked very efficiently.  This company is fair priced and they don't try and take advantage of your time.   We will definitely be using them with all of our future electrical needs.

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.

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.

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.

I can't say enough good things about Checo Electric.  They are everything you'd want in an electrician--prompt, professional, proficient, respectful of your time and extremely reasonable price-wise.  Carlos (owner) is a super nice guy, explains things perfectly and does an incredible job.  He's also a veteran which is another good reason to hire him.  I love an honest, hardworking owner who generally cares about his customers.  If you need an electrician, I couldn't give him a higher recommendation.  I'm extremely pleased with his (and his assistant Matt's) work and wouldn't hesitate to hire them for all my electrical jobs (and will)!

He responded quickly to my questions and was professional. I was satisfied with the work and everything works great. Thank you

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!!

They were very responsive and made an appointment quickly. The guys that came out were very friendly and working hard to install our ceiling fans. We are very happy with their work.

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!

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

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.

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.

Carlos and Matt at Checo Electric have become our go-to electricians due to their outstanding quality of work, professional and friendly demeanor, and fair prices. They have done close to a dozen projects with us and we would absolutely recommend them for any job.

Really excellent work! The team was professional, explained everything in advance, and were efficient in their work. Could not have asked for a better experience!

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.

Communication was great. I had them come by to install an EV charger in my garage and the job was done in less than an hour. Good guys. Great price!

Carlos was absolutely amazing. He was professional from the first contact to get a quote all the way through the end of our project. I'm fairly sure he'll be doing all the electrical projects around my house going forward. I highly recommend him and his team.

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!

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!

Awesome service. They worked with my interesting schedule to come and preform the work. They had done two projects during their time. One was installing an outdoor outlet for a mounted TV along with swapping a new electrical box for a new set of lights. Very pleased with the service and work. Will recommend and hire again!

I contacted Checo Electric to get a quote to install a ceiling fan remote control. My ceiling is about 14ft high and when shopping around, I was getting quoted double-triple what Carlos was asking because of the high ceiling. His prices are definitely the best in town! He was able to accommodate a same day appointment and was very professional. My quick/easy project turned into a 2-3 hr operation after further inspection. Carlos was very pleasant and did not hesitate to stay around until the job was completed. Very professional, knows what he is doing and will definitely be my go to electrician from now on.

I contacted several electricians for some minor work and Carlos was the first to get beck to me. His prices were very reasonable and he did such great work I had him come out a second time for some additional work. If you want quality work without getting ripped off, I highly recommend Checo electric!!

I thought I could easily install Wi Fi Light dimmer switch.  Man was I wrong.  I have no idea what I did that I didn't have lights for 2 days.  I reached out to Checo Electric and he replies to all your messages within matter of minutes.  He came by, charged a reasonable-amount and nit only did he fixed my light dimmer switch, but fixed all other switches.  Thank you Caros!

Carlos was on time and installed my ev charger. Very professional, made sure I was good with the installation
Highly recommended

These people are great! Fixed everything I needed and you can't beat their prices. Plus, they were super friendly and personable. I'll for sure use them again for any electrical issues I have in the future.

I rarely review on Yelp, but Carlos was awesome and professional. He made quick work of a rewiring job for me, and I'd use him again in a heartbeat - Thanks Carlos!

Awesome and prompt service! Thank you for a great price to install a NEMA 14-50 outlet for EV charging in my garage. Kept the area clean and dust free. Highly recommend!

Fast response time, and great prices. I would recommend Carlos and will definitely use Checo Electric again.

Great electricians, the crew came very clean and presentable.  Their knowledge and craftsmanship made our project go super smooth.  I have worked with a few electrical companies before but we will continually use this one.  Thank you Carlos for a great job!

My niece just moved into my rental condo and second day in, her coffee pot tripped a circuit and the outlets on one wall would not come on including the frig. Carlos was able to come out the next day and diagnose the problem and replace the faulty circuit and spot another one that was broken and replaced it. He also put in a dimmer switch for me while he was there. A super nice guy as well. The fact that he was at least half the price of three other electricians I received quotes from and did a great job at fixing the problem deserves 10 stars. Highly recommend Checo Electric.

Very pleasant and careful and did a good job as far as I can tell.  I would (will) hire again.

Excellent team, professional, courteous and safe! Carlos and Gustavo showed up on time and divided and conquered the tasks at hand, making the most of their time at my house.

They were very professional and did an amazing job installing lighting in my daughter room. They showed up with their mask on and tools in hand ready to work. Will most definitely hire again for their professionalisms and great pricing.

Did a great job at a fair price. Really easy to work with. Wore masks. Overall good experience would hire again for sure. T

Carlos and his crew did a great job installing an outdoor outlet in front of my house. I look forward to hiring him again for future projects.

Carlos was really easy to talk to when i need a quote for my signage and he was the first to respond, his quote    Has a good price. When i told him it was urgent he was the first one to respond and the first one to visit. Thank you!

Carlos was the first to respond to my inquiry on yelp. Too. The time to answer all my questions. Had a issue with the delivery of an oven I needed him to install which cost him a trip. He was very understanding and patient. When we finally got to install day he did an amazing job and now we're up and running. Great service, reasonable prices, and punctual. He'll be the first person I call for any electrical issues I have in the future

we are very Satisfied with Checo Electric. He put up our ceiling fan with no problem and we are very happy.

GREAT service from over 1000 miles away. I currently live out of state and need to manage my condo from afar. Checo Electric makes that easy for me! They have great customer service and do honest work for a great price. No overpriced quotes from them. I HIGHLY recommend Checo Electric!!
