Echeverria Bros Electric

C W.

When our GFCI in our garage suddenly started to trip, we knew it was time to call out an electrician. We used yelp and decided to use Echeverria Brothers based on their good reviews. When I called Julio he was very friendly and seemed knowledgeable about our problem he said he would be out the next day at noon. I waited for him until 12:50 and decided to call him and he was on his way. Would have been nice to get a call or text letting me know he was running late. This was problem number one. When Julio arrived I explained the problem again to him and let him know that my husband had replaced the GFCI and the problem had continued. Without even looking at the problem outlet he went straight to our breaker box. He opened it up and told me that the problem was that our box was out of code and the whole thing needed to be replaced. He originally quoted over 3k but said he we paid cash he would knock it down to $2400. Pretty shady. He then told me I needed a ground wire and that would be an additional cost. I have never had to replace a breaker box, but that seemed really high. I told him I would have to think about it and get back to him. I knew for something that high I should get a second opinion. I called another very good company called Barney's Electric and told him the exact same thing. Barney went right to the problem outlet, realized that it was wired wrong and fixed it in 5 minutes. Also our breaker box is not out of code. I am not sure why Echeverria Brothers has such a high rating on Yelp, but I wouldn't call them for any reason ever!

We hired Julio to do the electrical incidental to getting a new heat pump. When he came over, he discovered that we had a Federal Pacific panel. He told me it was a fire hazard. I did some internet research and found that quite a few homes have burned down as a result of these panels put in houses from the 60s to the 80s. So I hired him to replace the panel along with some other stuff. He is very thorough in his work and emphasizes safety.

Contacted Echevarria Bros. Julio Echeverria scheduled the job and showed up on time. Evaluated and fixed the electrical problem in 30 minutes. Courteous and friendly.

Very prompt. We have a light fixture installed. Julio was in and out in no time. He called me back the same day I called for an appointment. He was willing to come out and work on a Sunday, and if we didn't have some place to be we would have taken him up on his offer. I thought his pricing was great as well.

He is the best, he is responsive, affordable and gets the job done with a great attitude. Most electricians are a racket, charging you trip charges and all that BS, this guy is good, affordable and does it with a great attitude, I HIGHLY recommend him, but don't use him too much we need him for more work on our house!

I couldn't believe it when I called Echeverria Bros in a panic at 10:36pm and Julio actually answered the phone! I was have a phantom electrical problem, and had no electricity to parts of my den, kitchen and dining room. My 75 gallon fish tank was the concern since it needs constant electricity to keep everything alive. Julio asked me several questions over the phone to try to diagnose the problem, and assured me that it could be fixed. He gave me suggestions to get the tank going that night (several extension cords!), and he asked if we could wait until the morning to do the work. Of course! It was after 11pm by then. He and his assistant arrived promptly this morning, and tested many, many switches and outlets to find the problem. And Julio couldn't have been nicer --- good sense of humor, too! They fixed the problem, cleaned up the pieces of wire, and other trash, and charged a very, very fair price. And they wouldn't even think about leaving until I had tested all the switches to make sure everything was working right. I will definitely use Echeverria Bros again, and will pass the word on to my friends. And they do roofing work, too, so they sent their roofing expert out to check some things for me. She said my roof looked great, and didn't need anything done. Who is that honest?? I'll definitely use Echeverria Bros. again.

I had a fairly large re-wiring project that needed to be done quickly. Julio and his crew spent several hours in the heat of the summer working on this outside job. I have very mixed feelings about his company, so I will sum them up with my pros and cons.

Pros
Well priced (I think)?
Desperately want to make it right.
Responsive

Cons
Didn't complete the job exactly the way it was described.
Left screws and debris in and around the pool area
Damaged my car, which I was able to nearly correct
Not very prompt

There were several things that happened that you A. May not believe or
B. would just make your head shake. So, the question becomes would I use them again? Probably.

We were very pleased with Eb Electric! He is very reasonably priced and does the job right.

Yelp, has once again, saved the day.

But this time...I can't take credit. The boyfriend decided to take matters into his own hands and find an electrician to hang our entryway light. Our ceiling is about 20ft and renting a ladder and doing it ourselves was out of the question.

Lo and behold, the Yelps found us a winner.

Julio was fantastic. He did have to reschedule on us due to an emergency, but not a big deal. He let us know in plenty of time and was prompt to arrive the next day. In total, he spent about an hour and half putting together the light and installing it. He didn't even complain about the wolf dog jumping up on him and licking him when he was putting the light together. This guy is the utmost professional.

This guy is a keeper and needless to say, we will be using him again.

This is the second time Julio came to work on my house. The first time one of the bedrooms had no power and he was able to identify the problem and fix it. The second time was a tough one. Two of my front outside flood lights wouldnt come on and the breaker wouldn't stay on. Both times he was able to diagnosed the issue and explain what the problem was and how to fix it.

You won't get the run around and the price is fair. The price is not cheap by any means but the quality of work makes up for it.
