We're catching up with Raceway Electric's Eddie Dombo as he passes the family business down to his son Mike. I remember taking the freight car to the 100th floor and then walking up to the 110th floor--there were no elevators because there were no actual floors or walls yet!
It was an uneasy feeling working at that height!" "Working for myself here in San Diego has been a lot different than New York--I haven't had any jobs on the 110th floor--but it's been incredible to build a business from scratch.I wouldn't change my experiences for anything and now I am so honored to pass the torch and see my son in charge of the family business.

I highly recommend Raceway Electric. Billy snd Sam did a terrific job. They were professional, on time, efficient, friendly and answered all of my questions. Billy changed settings on the LEDs to make sure I was happy with the brightness and tested different styles of lights over the kitchen island for me. While completing our project, they found the perfect solution to a separate problem we had.
The prices are fair and reasonable and Mike , the owner, goes out of his way to make sure the customer is satisfied.

Raceway Electric is definitely the electric company to call. If you are looking for experienced electricians that are professional, honest, reliable, on time and can get the job done quickly. This is the ONLY company to go with!
We had an electrical surge in our home and have been displaced for over 5 months. After calling 16 electric companies to come out and assess, only 3 companies showed up. Mike was 100% honest and was not asking insurance questions or giving me a lesson on how much to tell the insurance company the electrical would cost.
Mike whom is the owner, came out and provided a free

My HOA hired Raceway Electric to perform inspections on electrical panels throughout our complex. I had been wanting to replace the old Zinsco panel since I moved in before the pandemic, so I arranged to have the work done by Raceway.
I am so happy with the service and work the did on my condo! Not only did they replace the panel, they installed 2 fans on a vaulted ceiling, updated my recessed wall heaters, and repaired broken lighting in my garage. Billy and Sam arrived on time, finished the work professionally and promptly, and left things neat and tidy. They also provided an awesome referral

Kudos to Raceway Electric & Solar who were very professional, efficient and knowledgeable. They were quick to respond and prompt showing up at the appointed time for the assessment for the work I wanted done - which I find to be a challenge these days with other companies. I had several projects I needed done which included providing an outdoor two separate electrical outlets, creating lighting and electrical outlets in an existing shed and providing power to an outdoor fountain with an on/off switch. When Mike, the owner, came by to give me an estimate, I also inquired about their solar panels

Raceway is Tremendous! We have been using them for all our electric projects for over 20 years. Every time they do an outstanding job. They are prompt, thorough and courteous. Most recently Sam put in outlets in our bathrooms. He worked quickly, made sure that it was convenient to us when he took his lunch break and did an outstanding job. Use Raceway Electric. You cannot do wrong.

Steer clear. Ripped me off of a $350 deposit to add a new service panel. Nothing was done and they drug it out for months. While I was waiting for the panel upgrade, I foolishly allowed them to do some work in the meantime that I paid for. Some of the work was shoddy but I still paid them even though they charge $120 per hour plus a 30% markup on any supplies they use. They later tried to charge me a 2nd time for the same shoddy work. Do yourself a favor and find another electrician.

Another awesome job completed by Raceway Electric! I originally called for service for an inoperable GFCI outlet and two light switches that stopped working. Not only did Billy come out and fix those items, I also remembered I needed an outdoor outlet and cover for the backyard, which he handled. As always, he was professional, knowledgeable, efficient, courteous and personable. These guys are the BEST!

Disappointed in the customer service and pricing this company provides. Got an estimate from the owner, Mike, for changing out outlets and light switches (from Decora to toggle and replacing some with timers and dimmers - about 60 total give or take). Original estimate came in at $1120. Ended up agreeing to $970 estimate based off of the expert owner's estimate of work. After the two employees completed their work which was two guys 3 hours each or 6 work hours for both (breakdown is pricing from the company: $125 first hour, $95 for next two hours total of $315 each), so the total without

Can't say enough about Raceway. After getting a tankless water heater installed I needed to move an outlet. I call Raceway and set up an appointment. Mike showed up and not only installed a new outlet he realized my garage refrigerator was plugged into a faulty gfi outlet and switched that out also. Mike was on time and extremely friendly. I highly recommend Raceway for any of your electrical needs.

We had Raceway do complete wiring and installation for three new 52-inch ceiling fans in our condo (with no existing wiring), a pretty big job. Quite a lot of work, especially running the new wiring to a plug in a room with high ceilings. It was a full day's work, and Mike (Dombo) and Billy did a great job. Such great work that we also had them run a dedicated circuit to our 3rd floor balcony for an outdoor electric grill. One hour or so, and it was done. They worked fast, left the areas spotless, and the prices were exactly as agreed. They did not do the replacement of the drywall "holes

After our usual electrician retired, we had to branch out and find someone new. Raceway will definitely be our first call from now on!
Raceway replaced our pendant light in our breakfast nook a few weeks ago. Start to finish, they were great. Easy to book. Showed up on time. Their electrician was very nice and efficient. We will definitely be using them for future projects. Highly recommend!

I've used raceway on two different homes and different projects. Both times the service was excellent, and the pricing was lower than other bids. Mike and Eddie stay very busy and have been in business for quite awhile, I swear I see their trucks everywhere around San Diego. If you're looking for an electrician or solar installer I wouldn't look anywhere but here.
Thanks again guys, I look forward to the next project.
