We hired them to replace…read moreour 18' entryway chandelier with a much heavier fixture, and Duke himself arrived with Eddie to handle the job. Their teamwork is impressive -- efficient, professional, and clearly built on years of trust. They completed the entire project in about 90 minutes, all while paying meticulous attention to detail. They adjusted the chandelier height several times until my wife felt it was perfect, and they made sure the support structure was fully reinforced for the added weight. That level of care is rare. We don't usually enjoy having people working in our home, but Duke and Eddie made the experience surprisingly fun. Friendly, respectful, and genuinely great at what they do. Highly recommend Duke Electric for any electrical work that demands precision and professionalism.

Once we chose him to perform a full home electrical rewire for knob and tube and replacing a lot of electrical fixtures. The quality with which Duke, Eddie and the team was able to execute on the work was excellent. The permit approval also went smoothly which made me appreciate just how well Duke performed the required work. Most of all, he is honest with any issues and how much time things take. He also went out of his way to help me with anything else I needed from him. Overall, I would highly highly recommend Duke to anybody looking to upgrade their electricals.

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!

He said the fan controls do not usually have a problem with working together that we experience. At first, it seemed like they just would not work. So, he got creative and found a fix that allowed both sets of controls to work together. He also took time to adjust one of the fans to correct a clicking noise it made when running on high. I was really impressed with how responsive Nick was and how he handled the problems.

We had already done our research online, and figured we knew exactly what we wanted, but upon seeing a few sconces in person realized we didn't prefer certain styles or sizes. Christopher was fantastic at assisting us in finding replacement items for each room of our new home, patiently looking at photos and researching the website alongside us to find better deals that fit our vision. Once we had finally narrowed things down, he even climbed a ladder to replace some bulbs to show us different lighting options inside the sconces we had chosen. Nothing has arrived yet, so we can't speak to the products themselves within our home, but the purchase process was smooth and low-pressure, with Christopher cracking jokes and keeping what could have been a stressful furnishing experience "light" (pun intended). We only wish we had a Lamps Plus near us, but we were assured the return process should be simple if necessary, and he even offered to look up postage costs versus mileage should we need to bring back any of the items. Big thanks to Christopher and his knowledge!

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.

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.
