"Circuit breaker in garage was intermittently tripping. Scheduled appointment and received confirmation email for 3 PM on Monday, 3/4/2019. Receive call at 9:26 AM that technician is at my door. They mistakenly set the appointment for 10 AM. No problem, I took leave from work to meet them. They conducted somewhat superficial inspection concluding that there may be an overload (15-amp circuit) and that one of the connected appliances was culprit. They measured amps being pulled by only one appliance (mini-fridge at 4 amps) and concluded it must be the cause. I permenantly unplugged fridge and they installed new circuit breaker. They also closed off an outlet on a different circuit that was connected to a light switch in a different room (previous homeowners feculent install). Charge was $96.55; they did not charge for the new circuit breaker. I head back to work. Return home around 4:30 PM and circuit breaker has tripped again. I call Clayton (service tech) at 4:46 PM and ask him to advise. We conclude that I should systematically diagnose each appliance on my own to see which could be causing overload. I do so and determine that no matter which single appliance is plugged in, the circuit breaker still trips intermittently. I call Albuquerque Plumbing at 10:59 AM on Wednesday, 3/6/19 to request either a refund or to have technician diagnose further. Customer representative states that if they send out a tech, they charge an hourly fee of $110 no matter what, even though original diagnosis was seemingly not thorough nor conclusive enough to perform the work that was done. I state I will have a different company perform diagnosis and representative responds that if another company alters work performed by Albuquerque Plumbing, it will void their warranty (which makes sense, but I’m not concerned about a warranty on work that didn’t resolve the problem). I have a gentleman named Joe Wojcik with Powerhouse Electric come to diagnose. He spent 2.5 hours diagnosing everything on the circuit very thoroughly and was very professional. At the time, we thought cause was a loose connection at GFCI outlet. Charge was only $75. Ultimately, this didn’t resolve the tripping breaker. After posting initial review of service, Albuquerque Plumbing called and asked if they could come back out to diagnose further at no additional cost. I agreed. They spent about 1.5 hours diagnosing the circuit and all connections thoroughly but were still unable to reach a confident conclusion. We parted company under the impression that one of my tenants must be plugging in a malfunctioning appliance on occasion that is shorting and tripping the breaker. About 15 minutes after they leave, the breaker tripped while I was standing in front of the panel. This was perfect because I was able to determine that no one was using any appliance on the circuit at that time. knowing this, I was able to unilaterally diagnose certain lines on the circuit by disconnecting them and waiting to see if breaker trips. I believe I have isolated the problem cable on the circuit and will have it replaced."

"A.k.A Electric, LLC is my go to Electrician and I highly recommend them. Communication-immediate, they called when they were on their way, and they answered all my questions thoroughly. Arrived on time and within 20 minutes had the problem identified and resolved. I had other Electricians who spent hours and gave up. I was so pleased I ended up having them install 5 floodlights, bathroom light, switches, etc. They worked efficiently and cleaned up at each install site. All work was completed in under 4 hours. I was so impressed I have additional projects (bathroom/kitchen makeover, security cameras, column lights, etc.) to work. The price for the work was extremely reasonable and they were so pleasant. I asked for additional contact cards to share with my neighbors and family. Hire A.K.A Electric, LLC and you'll be very happy. They know how to resolve problems!"

"We're writing this review LATE, as work was done Oct 2018 and we have often talked about what a great experience we had with the installation by AKA of 2 indoor ceiling fans, 1 outdoor ceiling fan, chandelier, 4 other ceiling fixtures to upgrade at our fairly new home. These guys work hard and smart. Builder had told us pre-wired for ceiling fans and that was not the case with one heavy fan--took extra time to crawl attic space, took me along to help me find wall control switch at their lunch break. Overall just about the best contractor experience we've had in a long time. Honest, fair in pricing. Good communication skills. Would hire again when we need any electrical installs."

"I would highly recommend Orlando. He was on time, easy to communicate and honest. He replaced light fixtures and ceiling fans and updated my swamp cooler. Everything is running well. He guarantees his work. Pricing was reasonable."

"The owner responded to my inquiry quickly and was able to get me scheduled the same day because they happened to have availability. The electricians that performed the work were professional and communicated what was going on well. Would use them again."

"Mario did a great job of extending a line to provide an electric outlet and security light in my carport along a few other repairs.. He was always available for a question and arrived at the time scheduled Would gladly hire Peña Blanca Electric again."

"The young men that installed my light fixture were very professional and did an excellent job!"

"The estimate was very expensive to install a single overhead lighting fixture (at about 12 feet overhead) but the technician was very efficient at getting the fixture installed correctly and, in the end, it was worth it to me NOT to have to climb a 12-foot ladder, risking life and limb. Itâ s a trade off I expect."

"Saul was prompt, professional and very knowledgeable. Add to that he was very pleasant and a really nice young man. I will recommend him and his company to others in need of a good electrical contractor. I was very impressed with Saul."
