Compton's Family-Owned Electrical Contractor
Ernesto Acosta started in the electrical field in 2000, and what began as a job became a craft he genuinely loves — lighting work most of all. In 2013 he took 13 years of experience and started Hub City Electric, because he wanted to build more than an electrical company: he wanted one where customers were treated with honesty, respect and care.
When Hub City works in a home or a business, the crew treats it like their own — because a customer is trusting them with their property, and that trust is never taken for granted. Every project is handled from beginning to end, cleaned up daily, and finished right. More than 25 years in, Ernesto still has the same passion for the work he had on day one — and he's building something his children can one day carry on.
