So, to give everyone an update regarding the most UNPROFESSIONAL Effective Electric business and its owner Ernesto in getting a job done that was requested on December 15, 2015, I contacted another electrical company. The agent/electrician showed up on time as promised, evaluated the problem and promised to come back in an hour. The electrician called me exactly in an hour and stated that he has found an appliance that will take the place of the old broken one. IT TOOK THIS GUY AN HOUR TO FIND A NEW PART and Fixed the electrical problem that we have on the same day versus Effective Electric/Ernesto that took 3 months and no result.  Effective Electric and Ernesto the owner - made us wait for 4-5 hours and DO NOT SHOW UP/NOT EVEN A PHONE CALL - on 4 Different occasions/Appointments. Effective Electric or Ernesto keeps on saying that he cannot find the parts/unit for our exhaust fan for 3 months. NO call from Ernesto as to whether he will show up and finish the job. Beware also of American Home Shield Warranty Home Insurance - Ernesto and AHS are in cahoots.  DO NOT HIRE EFFECTIVE ELECTRIC.

Stay away from this guy. Don't waist your time. Horrible experience. The owner Enesto needs a lesson in customer service.

This place blows!!!  I had an appointment yesterday, like the other reviews he did not show up.  I called to follow up, he said he will find someone in my area and call me back.  Still waiting on that call, and it's been 16 hours later.  I've called back numerous times since, no answer and mailbox is full.  What a bunch of horseshit!!!!!

STAY AWAY. Should have read the reviews here first, my Gosh. Has not returned any of my calls. Referred by home warranty, and stay away from Total Home Protect as well. Told home warranty they should ashamed for referring a crook like this. Took the service money and ran. Has not called back the home warranty company either and has not sent the service report, and we're going on 2 weeks

Just like all the other reviews we had an appointment scheduled, waited around all day and he never showed, never called. He didn't answer his phone nor did he call us back. He answered one time, and hung up on us. We ended up going with somebody else who will return a phone call and won't hang up on us when we call. Go elsewhere

I had an appointment for the technician to come to my house and fix an electrical problem. He never showed up, would not answer telephone calls and did not return my calls. I never heard from them again!

I had an appointment with an electrician made through American Homeshield (which is also a scam so don't ever purchase their plan), and he just didn't show up for the first appointment.  This is annoying because I took time off of work to stay home to meet the electrician.  Ernesto came the second time.  Although he was polite, he never followed up after that first visit.  I called continuously and even went so far as to message the business through Yelp.  Crickets.  When we finally did get someone on the phone, they stated that American Homeshield wouldn't cover the issues, so I said that's fine.  I'm happy to pay out of pocket.  They said they sent it to me via email (which I never received it), so we requested that they mail it to me.  I never got that either.  So after numerous attempts at trying to reach them, I give up on getting my $75 service fee back.  When I say I tried to contact them numerous times, I'm talking *lots* of calls.  This isn't one or two attempts then I gave up.  I have no idea how they stay in business treating their customers this way.
