I found an Excellent certified electrician by fincanuevacreacion
I can't post his info in this post, so private message me if you want his info. I think he charges $75 to come out and do a quote, but applies it to the job if you hire him. He's fluent enough in English if you don't speak Spanish. He's a crazy hard ...
