Aleco Electric

I had a very disappointing experience. I called this company to replace several burned-out fluorescent bulbs in my kitchen. The electrician took a quick look in the ceiling and immediately told me the lights needed to be completely replaced because these fixtures are “no longer used” and removing them supposedly causes cancer. Without inspecting the wiring, checking the fixtures, or discussing simpler options like replacing the bulbs or ballast, he provided a quote of $1,716 to replace four recessed lights. The estimate itself was also extremely vague — only a couple of sentences with no breakdown of labor, materials, or explanation of the work being performed. I later learned that fluorescent fixtures can typically be repaired or retrofitted, so it was concerning that no troubleshooting or alternatives were offered before recommending a full replacement at such a high cost. I would have appreciated a more thorough evaluation and a transparent estimate before being quoted such an expensive solution.

Aleco technician George helped me understand the issues with my current spa circuits and clearly explained the steps needed to fix them at a reasonable price. I am very satisfied with his service. Thank you to George and the Aleco team for their help.

I Came from Los Angeles to Orinda to babysit my grandkids while my son and daughter-in-law went on vacation. My first day alone here the power went out. Jorge from Aleco electric Came fairly quickly and was able to fix the problem. He was friendly and informative. I would highly recommend this company
