Romo came out right away to install chandeliers. Turns out we also needed our panel updated. This wasn't a surprise since we were warned about that year. His team was professional and was so accommodating. They helped clear a part of the garage without a complaint in order to run the wires properly. Now that work is complete, im looking forward to finishing up with the chandeliers. Thanks, Romo!!! read more

My experience with ER Electric was really bad. I went with them because their reviews were so good but the negative reviews aligned with my experience.  TLDR:  - random cancellations, no shows, and no response when trying to reschedule - still has not provided a receipt for my $3000 payment, after having asked numerous times - shady payments via zelle. His bank kept rejecting my payments and I ended up having to pay his wife's zelle account (??)  Long version: Romo took almost 2 months to complete my project of replacing the subpanel, adding a 20 amp circuit, and repairing any damaged drywall. He and his team cancelled/ no showed on my tenant more than 5 times and was super unresponsive when scheduling. My tenant had to live in a home with holes in the walls for almost a full month before it was finally repaired. The business operates very shadily. I have asked for a receipt for my payment numerous times, and he still has not provided one. I had to pay him in 3 separate transactions via zelle because his bank kept rejecting my payments. I'm not sure how this business has a 4.8 rating on Yelp, but will not be trusting those reviews from now on. read more

My outlets suddenly went out in the garage a couple days ago and I was looking for electricians on Yelp and Romo contacted right away. He was very responsive, professional and was willing to help right away. He told me he could come out the day of which was a Saturday but I wasn't available so he made it out to me the next day on Sunday and he gave me a free quote. He was able to fix it right away and walked me through what was wrong with it. I can't thank him enough and next time I have any electrical problems I'm sure to call him right away! Thank you so much! read more

Service was great! Responded quickly and helped us with our problem. Definitely recommend. Thank you!

Romo came to my property within an hour and helped me out with an electrical issue at my place. He is a class act and will be using him for more complex projects at my house. Can't say enough good things about the experience. read more

I had my whole panels upgraded. Job itself was done in a solid quality. But several things stand out: 1. Pressured to pay full prices upfront. But since I pay upfront, the communication was very lacking, and it seemed that they forgot about me and were not in a hurry as they already got my money. I had to take all initiatives by phone calls and emails to push the job moving on. 2. Dry wall and stucco repair are not satisfactory. Texture and color do not match, and no response when being asked (same issue as discussed in 1). read more

Yikes! Romo was quick to take our call, and money. However, they still owe us an electrical panel. We've been contacting them since March, after they completed our internal work, with almost no response from Romo. We paid in full, in good faith only to have them take advantage. The rest of the inside work was ok, took about 4 days to complete. Be careful of adding services, paying in full, and waiting for the items. read more

They came over and did a free diagnostic. They were professional, friendly, on time, and genuinely wanted to help with my issue. Highly recommend when you are in need. read more

I had electrical circuits that had burned out on my panel causing me great stress! These breakers gave power to my well pump and aerator to sustain my one acre pond filled with fish and ducks! I called Romo's company ER Electric on a Saturday afternoon for emergency service. He answered the phone and was at my house in less than 25 minutes. He understood the electrical panel and showed me what the problem was immediately and had the parts to make the repair. My pond was up and running within less than 30 minutes of his arrival. He was very professional and courteous! I highly recommend his services. His cost was very reasonable! read more

Great communication and excellent service, even after Home Depot provided us with a faulty light, Romo worked with us to still get the job done correctly and efficiently. read more

Be cautious with this company. They gave me a low quote online, but during the site visit, they tried to upsell me for thousands of dollars in supposed "code violations" that turned out to be completely false. Romo claimed my previous electrical work wasn't up to code, but when I confirmed with the licensed solar company that originally did the installation, they verified everything was compliant and had already passed inspection. The original project was only a few hundred dollars, yet they tried to inflate it into a much larger job by creating problems that didn't exist. This kind of dishonest upselling shows a serious lack of integrity. I'd recommend avoiding this company--especially if you're not familiar with electrical work, as they seem to target homeowners who might not know better. read more

Called ER Electric just before 11a today, and their tech arrived at the house by 12 as promised. I was in the construction industry, and I didn't come across people like Romo at ER very often. Romo was professional, honest, friendly and quickly resolved the issue. Highly recommended, excellent company. read more

Romo was so quick to get here and he helped me figure out my problem. He was so professional, kind, and reassuring. I felt so anxious about this electrical emergency, and he helped guide me in the right direction. Thank you!!! read more

Hi , my laundry room electricity went out and Romo came and figured out that the circuit breaker switch was off. I had checked but I did not notice it was off. Anyways, he did not charge me at all. I thought he was very kind to do that. I really appreciated it. Thank you so much. read more

Romo helped us out this Saturday and quickly resolved our power issue. I was appreciative of the information on the aging breaker box and the issues with it that he provided in a clear manner for a regular homeowner to understand. I look forward to working out an upgrade to our home's electrical with this company. Thanks Romo! read more

I called Romo on a Saturday due to the power to half my house going out after having a Heatpump system being installed by a noteable HVAC company. They HVac company sent out a technician and he spent an hour trying to locate the issue and finally said they needed to have an electrician come out but wouldn't have anyone avaible until Tueaday. My Frig and freezer were on a circuit that was out and i told them i would lose hundreds of dollars worth of food. I went on Yelp and called several. Electrical companies and Romo from Emergecy Response was the only company that could have a tech out the same day and within 20 minutes. It took the tech from emergency response 15 minutes to locate the problem and get the power back on. I was both impressed and thankful for such quick and professional service. I highly recommend you call Romo from emergency response for any home electrical issues. His prices were also lower or equal to all the companies I called. read more

Romo and his people, Luis and Marcos, did an outstanding job repairing a blown distribution panel in my Mira Mesa condo as well as other discrepancies that needed to be repaired based on a home inspection report (condo is in escrow). I called Romo at 8 AM Friday and he was onsite at my condo at 9 AM. His crew started work at 3 PM that same day! All repairs were complete by noon on Saturday. Romo and his crew are professional, courteous, thorough and fast! Thank you! read more

Emergency Response Electric - New distribution panel installed. - Electricians Near Me

I was in a panic when I one of our outdoor outlets tripped the other day which was also connected to our bathroom outlets and the outlet that our garage fridge is plugged into. I didn't realize the garage fridge one was out until today. I searched up an electrician and this business was the first on the list so I called and he immediately answered. I explained to him what was going on and he helped me over the phone on how to reset those outlets. It was so fast and easy and saved him time from having to come out and saved our food from getting spoiled! Thank you so much! read more

These guys are very helpful to provide information when requested and provide free consultations to quote your project. I really appreciated their assistance today. Hit them up! read more

I talked to the electrician and he said that he had availability the next day, but did not show up. I texted him and asked if he was going to send someone and text backed "possible". That day I never heard back from him and texted him the following day and received no response. Lack of communication and hoping that going forward this business communication improves. read more

I called at 6 pm today and I got my issue resolved within 20 minutes -- this is how amazing and knowledgeable Romo, the owner, is! I told him about my issue with the kitchen electricity being out, even after resetting all the breakers, and he knew exactly what to do --even through a photo I sent him. He has amazing knowledge, and definitely going to rebook him to recondition my breakers. He even knew when my original breakers were created based on where I lived. He told me what was happening to my breakers and gave me recommendations. Trustworthy family guy who doesn't try to scalp for money, unlike a lot of other electricians. I'm going to be saving his number and booking with him again. read more

Contacted Emergency Response Electric regarding a circuit breaker that I could not reset. Immediately heard from Romo and scheduled an appointment for the next morning. Romo arrived on time, checked the breaker and showed me how to manually reset it. In a minute my workshop was back up and running -- and no charge for house call! Thanks Romo! read more

My old home has been consuming way too much energy despite my absence from the home over the past months. Romo was quick to provide a system voltage leak check for me. He narrowed the issue to improper/faulty grounding in the detached garage as well as a few "leaky" circuits in the main house. He was quick to offer a fair price for a ton of work to include all new outlets, proper grounding throughout and a guarantee to lower my KW usage. Thanks Romo! read more

I contacted Romo about a pool pump circuit breaker that needs replacement, he quoted a $250 assessment fee. Right at 12:00, our appointment time, he calls me asking me if I have paid the fee. He was not at my property or enroute, nor had he done anything for me. I told him I wasn't comfortable paying $250 with no one here based on past reviews of him not showing. He said he wouldn't come without the fee being paid upfront. I ended up telling him to not bother coming. Read reviews on showing up, and communication. Waste of my time waiting for a no-show appointment. read more

Emergency Response Electric - Electricians Near Me

Romo stopped by and was able to immediately spot the problem. I recently purchased the property and had no idea that a second electrical panel even existed. Romo found it quickly and pointed out the issues. He suggested near-future fixes that would save me thousands down the road. All with zero pressure to buy. Super polite, professional, and helpful. I am bookmarking this company's contact info! read more

I chose Emergency Response Electric mostly because they had a lot of positive reviews. The company owner, Romo, came to my house and provided me a fair quote for creating a main breaker sub panel, which will be located inside the garage. Included in the quote was also replacing all of the electrical outlets in the residence. I could not be happier with Emergency Response Electric's attention to detail and what appeared to me to be superior workmanship. A permit was obtained from the County of San Diego and when the inspector arrived to check on the work, they were extremely pleased with how it was performed. The inspector commented that the work done was extremely professional and was very impressed. I am extremely happy for having chosen Emergency Response Electric and I will be using them in the future for additional work. I highly recommend them! Thank you so much, Emergency Response Electric! read more

We lost power to a third of our home Thursday afternoon. We called a highly rated Electric company near us, they came out that day. Nice guy, he did an assessment but couldn't determine the cause. Said we need a full diagnostic because the wiring in our house is old or likely done incorrectly from prev owners. We already knew that to be true, but then he estimated $1800 for the diagnostic, just to determine what's wrong. That seemed unreasonably high. So we wanted a second opinion, and called Emergency Response Electric that night and spoke to Romo. He came by first thing the next morning. Did an assessment, couldnt find the cause either but didnt charge us for the visit. He said he can have his guys come in the afternoon, find the cause and fix it for $180. The 3-man crew came that afternoon, an hour early no less, which surprised us as we weren't home yet. But they waited for us as we came back home 15 min later. We explained the issue, and the guys came in and were amazingly fast checking all our outlets and elec panel within 15-20 min. They found the issue, there was a short in one of our switches. They fixed it pretty quickly and were out in just an hour. It was such a relief we didn't pay $1800 just to find a $100 wire short. Honestly, fastest service we ever had and the fix worked! They mentioned a few issues they noticed, and some we knew about but just didn't get around to it. But now that hopefully we have an honest and affordable company to work with, think it's time to address it with them. Highly recommend! read more

Very quick return call. Prompt to our appointment. Friendly, knowledgeable and seemed really honest. I will call him next time I need electric work. read more

I had an electrical issue after an entertainment center installation. We had family coming over that night and I needed help fast. Romo answered my call right away and helped me diagnose the issue over the phone (who does that?). He then came by my house after taking a relative (who was still in the truck) to a medical appointment to verify what was needed. Although he wasn't able to help me that day, he sent Luis to my house soon thereafter. This necessitated cutting into the drywall and running new wiring. The work was done quickly and efficiently. If you need help in a pinch, give Romo and Emergency Response Electric a call. read more

I'm really disappointed with my experience. I contacted this business for an electrical job insise the home. I was given a clear price upfront. They offered a discount around 25% of what was originally quoted. I told them I would think it over and give them a call later. When I contacted them exactly a week later, they no longer gave the discount. They gave some excuse about having to agree to the price when we first met. I said did you forget what you originally quoted me, but they made me feel like I misheard them. Like other reviews on here, I experienced being told an original quote, and having a different quote when agreeing to use their services. Thats no bueno. read more

Not good. The manager showed up in an hour, but only after $180 service charge paid online first. He listened to the first problem I was having, then pointed out an installation problem on solar switch board - but refused to fix it because "that can break its warranty". Then he stood in front of the main swtichboard and told me I need a new one - one switch is burnt, this thing is old, he did so many in the neighborhood, it is the root cause of all my problems. And it will cost me $4500, but with a special discount, $3500. And it will require permit, but he is suddenly happy to fix the solar panel if I go for it. The only good advice I got is at end, he suggested me to get other opinions, which I did. Another electrician came later in the afternoon, promised to fix the solar switch board in the next visit, and fixed the problem I had for $100 in 10 minutes. And the burnt switch? It turned out not connected to anything at all. read more

Area was prepped well and the electricians went out of their way to ensure that dust and other debris was contained in house and cleaned properly. Thank you Romo and team for great work at an even better price! read more

My water heater / booster pump keeps tripping the GFCI so I called an electrician before I call a plumber. He responded very quick and arrived at home on time as promised. He quickly diagnosed it and found out there is no problems in the electric circuit including the panel. He didn't charge us (supposed to be a $180 charge for a diagnostic) and recommended us to call a plumber to find the problem. I am very impressed by his quick response, on-time arrival, and honesty. I will definitely call him again if I see any electrical problems at my home. read more

I cannot say enough good things! I contacted them via Yelp and the response was very fast. Romo reached out so fast and came over within 2 hours to give a quote He looked at the job and immediately said we can so this for this amount. It was $2000 cheaper than a previous quote so we shook hands and it was that easy Work was done exactly as he promised. They had to cut holes in the kit ceiling and covered and repaired them the same day. The only thing that came up was painting over the patched areas. The drywall guy said he would come back to paint and apparently that was not included in the quote. Romo immediately said " I will honor what my guy said ". You don't find that kind of integrity and honesty very muscular these days. I will only use ER for my future needs. SUPER WORK!?? read more

Emergency Response Electric - New panel!! beautiful!! - Electricians Near Me

I had a great experience with ER Electrics. My lights started flickering in my home, and small arcing noises were coming from my electrical panel outside my home. Romo came right out that day to diagnose the problem. My panel was overloaded and the main breaker was going bad. I had my panel rewired, with new breakers (mine were 30 years old), a new main breaker installed, and my whole house mapped out clearly on the breaker boxes (not the case with my old box). No more problems with my electrical system and peace of mind intact. The work was done professionally, clean job, on time and for a reasonable cost. Romo was straight forward, and honest with me. I appreciated his work and would recommend his services if you want good work done. read more

No one answered the phone in the middle of the day. That's inconsistent with Emergency Response.

Romo provides great quality work (and expertise) at a great value. I appreciate the work he has done at my house!
