Desert General Electric

Michael K.

We were having electrical issues in the home, intermittently losing power and had to replace the main breaker twice within a year. I had a few electricians come take a look, provide their opinion and bid to fix. They all had the same: the circuit breaker panel needed to be replaced. An unexpected ouch to the wallet!

In the end, I chose Desert General Electric. For one, Desert General Electric is a verified business on Yelp and backed by the Yelp $2,500 guarantee. I received a quick response to my Yelp project query and booked the appointment to inspect the project. I found Desert General Electric to be friendly, knowledgeable and organized when we met. We discussed the job, the timeline and an estimate was emailed to me shortly after meeting. The bid included the stucco repair and paint that would be needed from knocking out the current panel and enlarging the space for the new panel. That was awesome because the other bids did not include stucco repair and paint so I would have had to seek additional bids plus coordinate the additional repairs for the job prior to final inspection. I don't have time for that. Desert General Electric was already ahead of the game which was a huge plus - no extra work for me - they were taking responsibility for the whole job, start to finish.
Upon signing the bid, the permit process began immediately and I was updated on the permitting process.

Here's where above and beyond come into play. Our house lost power again during the permitting process while I was out of town, yet my spouse and dog were at home. The summer heat was relentless. I sent a message with a heads up that we lost power and asked if we were close to starting the project. Understanding the predicament, Desert General Electric went to my house to check out the issue. They had the electric back on and the AC was running. Above and beyond, especially on a Sunday and before the official project began. That told me that Desert General Electric are good people.
During day one of the project, a potential issue with the landscape valves that could result in not passing final inspection was pointed out to me. I appreciated that suggestions were made to fix the issue, rather than just stating the problem.
Issue fix, inspection passed.

I recommend Desert General Electric. Each person, including the stucco and paint contractors, were easy to communicate with, responsive to text messages, on time, friendly, made good on their promises and offered a variety of payment methods.

Brandon is the best. As soon as I met him, I knew he was the right guy to work with.

He redid ALL our overhead lighting. Not only did he complete the work on time and within budget, but he had awesome creative lighting ideas that we wound up implementing that no one else had even mentioned to us.

He is competent, ethical, his expertise is beyond question, AND he is freakin' creative.

I am so glad we worked with Brandon instead of the other vendors we were considering. Brandon's work exceeded all my expectations! Thank you Brandon.

Brandon was fantastic. Quick to respond, reasonable pricing, professional and friendly service. He did three jobs at my house and even made a trip to the store to get a needed part. I highly recommend Desert General Electric for your electrical needs.

After a power outage at Desert Sands MHC, we experienced a problem with a timer that controls lighting for our garage. This company was highly recommended and Brandon, the owner, took care of the problem in no time. He was personable, prompt, and texted me en route and upon arrival. Highly recommend.

I highly recommend Desert General Electric for all of your home/business electrical needs! The owner, Brandon, is super knowledgeable and friendly.

We had Brandon install an RV 50amp pedestal in our backyard and a whole home surge protector at our breaker box. He and his worker, Sergio, were professional, efficient, polite, and more than fair in price. It was a big job and no picnic in this desert heat!

With all of the power outages in our area, I decided to have a whole home surge protector installed to protect our A/C units and appliances. I recommend adding this to your home. It could save you thousands of dollars and Desert General Electric will take good care of you. I'm so happy to have found an electrician I can rely on for future jobs/needs. 5 STARS INDEED!

Brandon was wonderful. Installed ceiling fan and chandelier. Was very impressed with his work and knowledge. He will be back for all our future needs.

Brandon is extremely professional and knowledgeable. I had a pretty complex project at my home that required a lot of paperwork and permits. Brandon helped guide me through the entire process and was extremely easy to get in contact with.


The quality and value of his work is unparalleled. I will absolutely be calling him again for any electrical work!

Quick response and availability of appointment, as well as beginning and ending on time (including resolving an unexpected mounting and wiring issue discovered that required additional work during the appointment)

Brandon answered immediately, was knowledgeable and friendly, and arrived on time that same afternoon when we had a power outage and needed quick response. He diagnosed the problem within five minutes, did the repair impeccably, his vehicle already being stocked with what we needed. I couldn't believe how polite and friendly he was from the moment we called in a bit of a panic. He explained everything he was doing and charged a very fair price. He even left the areas he worked spotless. I'm so relieved to know an expert electrician is moments away by phone. He did the job right without our having to call again or a second trip. There are nice people in the world and this one knows what he's doing in his trade too. I highly recommend him.

As it happens I had never really hired anyone from Yelp reviews but I got a list, and the first one who answered my circuit/ microwave question was Brandon. He basically solved the issue within 2 minutes of our phone call, saying he could probably save us the cost of a service call.. . Who does that nowadays?!
Needless to say, he was right, and we don't need any help (but a new microwave). However I will communicate his info to all my friends and neighbors because I now know who to call next time. What a lovely person!
