CLD Electric

CLD saved us! Our electrical went haywire on us late on a Friday. It had been going bad and we were unable to figure out why. Scotty made his way through 5S traffic on a Friday night, showed up and diagnosed the problem right away. An hour later we were better than new. I was stuck at work but my wife said he was very professional and did a great job all the way through. They were also great about getting back to me and keeping me updated, even on a Friday night! Would definitely use them again.

I found a latent problem that CLD missed on their first visit. So, I called again 2 months later and presented the issue.

CLD sent a guy out today and quickly fixed the problem... no sweat; no charge.

It's rare to find guys who stand behind their work and that alone is worth a 5 star rating to me.

I needed some low voltage wiring, lights, and switches installed. Some of the wired runs were difficult but John did an excellent job installing the wires. He had promptly provided a bid just before the holidays and started right after. He had several lights to install and the workmanship was great and he was careful to get paint to match the new light switch with the wall paint. Overall I was very pleased with CLD Electric and would hire them again.

I had an emergency electrical problem and was very, very pleased with the work done by CLD Electric. Pricing policies and trouble shooting charges were explained clearly when I set up my appointment and again when the technician arrived at my house. CLD Electric was prompt, courteous, and very professional. The work was performed expeditiously and with the highest degree of competence. There was no attempt to either drag the job out or to sell me work I didn't need. I have dealt with many, many contractors during my fifty plus years as a home owner. I don't think I have found anyone as honest or as experienced in the electrical field as CLD Electric. They have my highest recommendation.

How impressive! CLD electric company in san diego came out to my rental house in LA Mesa to fix the breaker panel and replace 2 ceiling fans that did too much shaking when they turned on so the CLD team installed new ceiling fans with lights switches that had very cool dimmers. The job cost was very close to the job estimate and I am very happy with all of their services. The technicians were great and very helpful.

CLD Electric in San Diego has installed ceiling fans and Outlets along with canned recessed lighting fixtures. Their professionalism is five stars and their knowledge is excellent I would highly recommend them to anyone in the San Diego area looking for an experienced electrician. I'm so glad that I found a quality electric company after moving to San Diego since finding good service and repairs can be difficult at times. Thank CLD for all your good work!

Jerry the owner of CLD was great! We needed an outlet installed outside our house for an irrigation timer. He installed the outlet mounted the timer & everything looks great.

We now have our go to electrician. Some more projects coming up soon CLD is who we will be calling.

Jerry changed my main circuit panel and replaced all the breaker switches in their wrong positions not adjacent to their respective labels. I put a warning note in the door of the panel to alert other electricians of this potential danger!

Jerry at CLD Electric is one of the most honest and competent electricians I have ever come across. He's extremely knowledgeable, explains everything so a novice like me can understand what the problem was and what was done to repair it. And to top it off, his rates are quite reasonable. I would highly recommend him if ever you find the need for a superior Electrician.

In response to Larry's review: here is the exact msg I received from Larry after my initial email request explaining my issue and request for service:

""Hi Jonita, It sounds like the panel may need a little troubleshooting to determine it's condition. We can do this for $68.50. As far as the extra wiring is concerned we will give you a free estimate on that and any additional wiring issues at the time of inspection. I can put you on the schedule for tomorrow between 11am - 1pm or Saturday, perhaps ? Thank you Jerry

The above msg from Jerry CLEARLY states the trouble shooting charge to be 68.50 NOT 68.50 per 1/2 hour. That was revealed when the tech arrived. This is typically called a ""bait and switch.""

I did not phone CLD on Saturday because 1) there office hours listed them as closed 2) I did my homework and research on what Mark told me and found he profusely exaggerated the ""danger"" and 3) was able to fix the issue myself.

Mark arrived at 11:15 and departed at 12:31. That is clearly not 1.5 hours spent diagnosing a problem. He spent more time telling me how dangerous my electrical service was than diagnosing or repairing the minor.

The handyman was likely the perpetuator of my issue (plugged in 2 old high energy spotlights without any sort of surge protector), was waaayyyyy over his head and was promptly dismissed from any further services at 12:50 pm, 19 minutes after Mark left. I have this time well documented.

Interesting, Jerry reports my initial message to him went to the wrong email box, yet, the message i sent him on Saturday 3/19/16 reporting I was disputing the charge submitted to my credit card on 3/16 (yes I was billed over a month after the service date), went to the correct location and was viewed immediately. Ummm....

Anyway, essentially ""scaring someone into a fairly simple repair"" at the cost of 340.00 is nothing short of price gouging. I went on to hire a different licensed electrician (not on yelp) who installed wiring for 3 smoke detectors, 2 ceiling fans,1 overhead light (I supplied the materials) for a total of $350.00 (5.5 hours of work).
