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.
Eddie continues as he refers to his son's new role, I am pretty proud of him. Mike is now the CEO/President of the company. He's a hard worker and has really proved himself over the years. I see a lot of myself in him. Four years ago, Mike saw an opportunity to grow the business by diversifying and expanding our Solar division.

Mike and his company came from a recommendation a friend gave me. Mike was very professional while not being pushy. He listened to what we were interested in, gave us honest feedback and made it happen. We had an extra circuit added for a hot tub install, it was done clean and neat looking, concrete work was super nice and overall the experience was very easy and stress free. Miranda in the office is on top of everything and very helpful. We will be having them come back in a year to install our solar and a new breaker panel. Thanks guys........and gals.

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.

We met with several electricians for estimates on some small jobs around our house. Mike listened to our requests, offered excellent suggestions, and provided a very competitive estimate. He was able to get us scheduled quickly. His team was professional and thorough in their work. We'll be using them again for future projects!

Sam & Billie arrived promptly and took the time to go over the work order with me, I was grateful for that and it gave me an opportunity to make some changes. They were professional and knowledgeable and didn't seem to mind my questions. I would use them for any and all electrical jobs that will come my way in the future. Thank you Raceway Electric for the stellar service.

Sam at Raceway was AMAZING!
He identified the problem within 10 minutes and had the repair completed within an hour. Raceway's pricing was also great and they were able to come out within a couple of hours on the day I called them. We had another contractor come out and replace breakers... which was never the problem to begin with. If you are looking for an honest, timely and trustworthy Electric and Solar company, look no further. I wish I had know before I installed my solar but I'm happy to know of them now!

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

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!

We have used Raceway for our solar panel installation and we are very happy. They worked closely with the roofers because we were getting a new roof, too, and that really helped make things go smoothly. We also used them recently to replace a breaker for our jacuzzi. They were punctual, courteous, and got the job done.

One of few good and honest electrical companies around. With fair rates and super nice crew.
Had them do some minor electrical repair work around my house it needed be done. Had it done in about an hour.
They take proud in there craft and it shows. Would use again. Also their locally owned and operated which is always a plus

Raceway completed one-part of a two-part project. I paid them (cashier's check) for the first part of the project on the day they completed the first part. Shortly thereafter I became seriosly ill with an infection in both lungs. When I was well, approx 90 days later, they were "much too busy with big projects" to complete the second part of the work. This was a small project related to a dishwasher and hot water heater installation. The quality of their work was excellent. But they only completed one part of a two-part project. Very disappointed. I do not recommend their services

I highly recommend Raceway! I called the top 5 reviewed electricians in my Santee neighborhood and only 1 called back. Raceway called back within 15 minutes of receiving my call. Eddie showed up later that afternoon to replace a faulty switch in the fusebox. Educated me on the process, asked for the go ahead, and he knocked it right out. As this is a new home to us, I will be using Raceway again soon......
also,I called on Friday Feb 3rd ....the other electricians have still not called me back and it is now Monday the 6th
Thanks
