About Us
Meet Castro Electric!
Hello, my name is Edwin Castro, and I am the proud owner of Castro Electric. As a young boy, I dreamt of owning a family business that would make a difference within our community. And now, with my wife Sydney Castro by my side, we have made that dream a reality.
I came to this country when I was 14 and with hard work, determination and as a family, we built a business that we are proud of. Sydney runs the day-to-day functions of the company, all while homeschooling our four children. It's not always easy, but we love what we do, and we love being able to provide honest and affordable electrical services to our community.
At Castro Electric, we understand that times are tough, and that's why we are committed to providing electrical services that you can trust. We believe that every job, no matter how big or small, should be done at a professional level. We are dedicated to building a reputation online and within our area so that others can tell their stories of the work we have done for them. We encourage you to check out our reviews page to see what our customers have to say about our work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I choose Castro Electric for my electrical needs?
We are a local company focused on doing the job right and treating your home with respect. You get clear pricing, clean work and a team that stands behind what it installs.
How often should my electrical system be inspected?
A general check every few years is a good habit, and it is especially smart when buying or selling a home. Call sooner if you notice flickering lights, buzzing, warm outlets or a burning smell.
Are your electricians licensed and insured?
Yes. Our electricians are licensed and insured, and all work is completed to current electrical code.
Can I do electrical repairs myself?
Changing a light bulb, yes — but repairs inside boxes and panels can be dangerous and may not pass inspection. A licensed electrician keeps you safe and your insurance valid.
What products do you use?
We install durable, commercial-grade devices and materials that are built to last longer than builder-grade parts.
Do the materials come with a warranty?
Yes. Materials carry the manufacturer’s warranty, and we will explain the coverage for your specific job.
Do you offer maintenance memberships?
Yes. Ask us about a membership plan tailored to your home and family.
Do you supply the materials?
We sure do — we bring the parts needed for your job, or we can install fixtures you have already purchased.
Still have questions?
Our team is happy to help. Call us or send a request and we will get back to you quickly.
