Chris arrived at specified time and immediately started installing my ceiling fans in the living room and master bedroom. He did an excellent job installing the fans and making sure that they were balanced properly (he even rewired the remote control wires which had been installed backward when the original wiring was done in the home). Then he installed a new electrical connection in the garage. The job went quickly and I am extremely satisfied with his work. I will definitely call DEC the next time I need electrical work done in my home and I have already recommended them to several of my friends. Thanks for a job well done! ! !

Justin arrived promptly corrected the wiring problem in the bedrooms; diagnosed one fan as dead and two kind of "iffy". He gave me an estimate on installation of new fans... I have ordered the fans and will be calling them back to do the installation. I am a very happy camper! Thanks, Justin.

We weren't happy with ANGIE'S LIST. We didn't have electricity so my phone was dead. It was over 100 degrees outside and I sat in the car with it plugged in there trying to search for electricians on the cell phone. Angie's List isn't cell-phone friendly. Plus it kept giving us referrals to elecricians way out of our area. Contrary to Angie's Lists' belief, Big Bear and San Fernando Valley are not any where near Lake Elsinore. Even the Electricians were telling us that we weren't in their service area. I finally gave my husband their telephone number and told him to call them. Angie's List staff still gave him telephone numbers of non-local electricians!
Description of Work: Main electric breaker shut down for a 30-year old home. John the owner found a replacement for it via telephone photos. The parts house didn't have it when they said they would but he kept in regular contact with us updating us on progress. He was the only Electrician in the area who was available, would call us back, an actually came out. We were very satisfied with his service and would definitely call him again in the future.

Called regarding small items that were not working correctly. Motion light wasn't working, garbage disposal wouldn't turn on and unknown use of light switches in master bedroom. The callback was prompt, the appointment was made and they arrived early. All work was done professionally by 2 nice, friendly and expert electricians.After the work was completed we talked about some other issues and have already scheduled another appointment to do additional work. Thanks Angie's List for listing Direct Electric Company. Thanks DEC for a great job.

Called John to get an over the phone estimate of the work I required for the fans. He was clear, precise, and I knew exactly what the pricing would be for the work we wanted. I was able to get an appointment within a week. They arrived within the service call window though he did call me to say when exactly they would arrive. After a brief discussion of the work they were off & running, placing plastic tarps down and careful to work around any obstacles like my home office desk. The service call was later in the afternoon so the work lasted almost to 6pm. As they finished up John noticed one fan with a slight wobble, he stopped and proceeded to work on it until it ran perfectly. It was refreshing to see a service vendor's attention to detail at a high level even at the end of a long day. We are very satisfied with the great work! We have a bathroom & kitchen remodel coming up and will definitely contact DEC for their outstanding service.
Description of Work: Replaced two existing ceiling fans, installed wiring for two additional ceiling fans, troubleshoot pantry light issue, and provided estimate for patio wiring.

We are a small business, ran by my wife and I, we have 3 boys, one being a new born. We do our best to contact as quickly as possible, although we spend our time together over the weekends and holidays, so we may not respond until the following business day or when holiday is over. We thank you for the business and glad you were happy with the service over-all, We do take this report very seriously and felt we deserved better a rating.

Installation of the 3 Quiet Cool fans was scheduled 2 business days after the initial estimate. The DEC guys arrived on time and after a quick inspection of the attic and install locations began the work. Initially John informed me it would take about 2 hours per fan which was more than reasonable, but his workers were able to beat that - wrapping all 3 fans in just over 2 hours. The work was very clean, none of the house was damaged or dirtied, the fan switch was installed in a location of my choice and looks very professional. I'm very pleased with DEC, they did a great install on a quality product that I am already enjoying. They were patient with all my questions, offered suggestions and fair estimates. I will not hesitate to call them again for future electrical work.
Description of Work: After researching whole house fans for a few days I decided on the Quiet Cool brand. Since this is a review of the installer I'll be brief about the fans - they are a great quality product that excels in both energy efficiency and low voice while still performing great at cycling the air. I've had it running for about an hour now and it feels like I've been running the AC all day - amazing. Back to DEC, since our house is a bit odd and the attic is partial, small and odd shaped I insisted on in-person estimate. John was ready to come the next day where he spent as much time as I needed answering questions and coming up with a great custom-fit proposal for our house. I requested installing of total of 3 Quiet Cool fans from the stealth series. John listened to all my concerns about attic space, ventilation, bedroom location and offered professional suggestions.

Thank you Member for your explanatory review of our company and of the QuietCool product. The QuietCool whole house fans are a wonderful product that we have installed since they were invented about 7 years ago. They are manufactured locally and are made in the USA which make it an even greater product! Hope you continue to enjoy the fans and your electrical savings throughout the summer!

The technician, Justin, was very knowledgeable, personable, and prompt. When we set up the appointment we were advised that the minimum charge for troubleshooting was $150.00, for a two hr. time limit. Justin completed the troubleshooting in a few minutes so we had him put another receptacle behind our wall hanging flat screen TV. The work was done very professionally & quickly. I would highly recommend them & definitely use them again.

DEC arrived on time, they did a very clean job and it was completed quickly (about 2 hours). They cut the openings for the vents without needing to patch or paint anything. The new vents in the ceilings look good, and the fans are incredibly quiet. They work very efficiently. The fans also have a 10 year warranty.
Description of Work: DEC installed a Quiet Cool whole house fan system in my house. It involved two fans, one above the master bedroom and the other above the central hallway. There is a control panel with switches for each fan and the timer (preset buttons as well as a Hold button). The devices contain internal baffles to prevent cold air from coming into the house on cold days.

Thank you member for providing a report, especially for being our first Angie's List customer to have a QuietCool whole house fan installed! We are a preferred dealer and installer for the QuietCool systems and believe that every house should have the ability to cool their home naturally. We have installed thousands of these systems over the years and provide a $50 referral check if you refer others who schedule an installation. Enjoy your fans! You will wonder how you ever lived without :)

Overall the job they did was excellent. They are an ‘A’ class company. They do excellent work and they are on time. They deliver exactly what they say they are going to and they deliver at the quoted price. It was definitely a good experience there. They were good. I was happy with the price and I thought it was fair. Their quality of work was excellent. I will absolutely use their services again in the future.

They fixed the problem and they were very good. We don't recall the price but it was not auto-blind. We had mouse problem near the gate and we thought that the wiring from the house to the gate was being nibbled by the mouse. They were going to re-install the wiring from the gate to the house which was about 1800 feet. They told us that they would give us an estimate about how much it would cost and what it would be. They were not the gate people which I knew but they said that they could do it. We had to keep calling them to get an estimate. They gave me an estimate which we thought was reasonable but when we called the gate people they said that the problem was not at all the gate wiring. We could not blame them but they said that they would come back with the numbers and they did not. They were a big company. We talked to the owner when we talked to them. The guy who came in was knowledgeable and okay but we were not impressed by his demeanor. He was a nice guy but he did not inspire confidence.
Description of Work: We have used the services of Direct Electric Company four months ago. We have a gate in the front of our house and the lights by the gate were always going out and were not staying on. They came over to look at it. They also changed a couple of GSIS for us.

Response from Direct Electric Company
We came back with a number when our supply was able to give us a price for the material. We did not advice what the problem was, we werent sure, the estimate was something the homeowner was wanting. He wanted the phone line replaced in the pipe and he had asked how much it was. Which we did give him the estimate. But the estimate was NOT the fix and not adviced by us. It was at the homeowners request. We are not a gate company, anything that was wrong with the electrical was fixed. We are electrical contractors. This report was graded unfairly based off of something we don't do. We take pride in our reputation and our company all over the internet is the highest rated electrical contractor in the valley. This is very unfortunate that we received this low of a rating based off work we don't do. We were simply trying to go the extra mile for the customer and help them out.
