Jeffery showed up on time and performed all the work efficiently, very good service. We used a coupon for an Angie's list deal and got a fair deal for the work performed.

He called me to let me know when he would arrive, then called again to tell me he was 10 minutes out. He was professional and personable. He competed all the tasks I gave him expertly and went beyond my expectation when he trouble-shooted a problem area in one of my bedrooms. He had a really good attitude and did an excellent job at my home. I would definitely call him again.

Requested service in September. We were both busy and play telephone tag for a few days. When we finally connected, I explained what I wanted and he told me he had appointments already booked until after mid-October. I told him my schedule at work and we agreed on October 21 for my work to be done. I had read several of his reviews and knew I would have to wait, but that he was worth it. We communicated prior to the 21st to confirm the appt. He showed up on time, got my wants and concerns up front, made a design, got my OK, and went to work. I needed to have him finished be 2:00pm so I could go to work. He was done before 1:00pm. The kitchen looks amazing! It was so dark before, I couldn't see what I was cooking. Not anymore! I would definitely use him again. He was well worth the wait! Thanks Jeff!
Description of Work: Installed 6 recessed lights in my kitchen.

Jeff was a-freaking-mazing. If I could give him an A++ on punctuality I would. He told me he would be "at my house between 8A-10AM" but wasn't exactly sure because he was coming over the pass to Orange County for me. He was knocking on my door at 7:55AM, ready to go. Dude is awesome. He took about 5 minutes to scan over the wall-mounted EV charging unit I had purchased to see what parts he needed and within about 90 minutes the job was totally done. He vacuumed up all the bits, made sure it worked with my electric vehicle and didn't leave a mark on the wall. While he was there I asked if he could replace what I believed was a faulty humidity sensor wall switch in my bathroom. He googled a reference manual for the manufacturer and within 10 minutes had adjusted the settings that were causing me the issue so I didn't have to replace it after all. PLUS, as a goodwill gesture, he didn't charge me due to the minimal effort to make the adjustments. I'd highly recommend him for anyone who needs an electrician and I'll definitely have him on my speed dial list for future business.
Description of Work: Installed a commercial EV charger I purchased (240V, required installing new breakers in the circuit box as well). Adjusted settings on a bathroom humidity sensor wall switch.

Jeff is great -- was punctual -- professional -- talked me through every step before he did it -- laid down protective sheeting to catch the debris -- ran the wires with minimal sheet rock holes -- and assembled and installed the fan perfectly -- and . . . cleaned up when he was done. I'm very happy with the service. He patched the sheet rock as well as textured it. He told me he was not a painter and couldn't guarantee the texture -- but it turned out completely fine. I will definitely be calling Jeff for my next electrical project.

Jeff was very responsive and tried really hard to find a time that would work for both of us.
Description of Work: I pre-purchased a half day of service but had many small jobs that probably would have taken longer than the half day. As I needed the work done sooner than they had an entire day open in their schedule I had to switch to another vendor.

I thought they were okay. They did an adequate job. I had asked them about some additional work and they gave me a price and they were busy so I didn't end up doing any extra work. He went and bought a change of a panel but it was smaller than the one he took out. I wasn't pleased with that. They did neat work though.

Response from Dwelling Electric Inc.
That panel has the same rating or Higher. As technology improves things get smaller and better. The next size up would not fit in the same location and the current wiring would need to be replaced due to the extra current draw.

Jeff let me know ahead of time when he would arrive, checked the day before to confirm and arrived at the time stated. He worked efficiently, explained what he was going to do and cleaned up after the work was done. He install 3 outdoor outlets, one of which required a bit of creativity. They all exceeded my expectations and I am very happy with them.
Description of Work: He installed some outdoor outlets and consulted on some indoor work I had requested but due to the age of the house in the areas I was interested in I decided not to have outlets replaced. He was willing to do the work but also detailed the amount of damage it would cause so I decided against it. I appreciated his honesty. His work was professional, efficient and the job turned out better than I had imagined. I would definitely hire Jeff Draper again.

Jeff is an amazing electrician. He is professional, courteous, affable and efficient. I would use him again and recommend him to anyone I know. He did everything I expected and more in the four hours that I had him. He also has good attention to detail. For example, I previously had someone come in and they put a switch in askew and did not use a level. Jeff used a level on everything and his workmanship was A++++.
Description of Work: He installed a dining room chandelier, fixed my pool light, installed 2 usb electrical outlets and made sure I could turn on a lamp by the switch on the wall.

I purchased an Angie's List special offer of 6 hours of electrical time for $375 and I more than got my money's worth. Jeff, the owner of Dwelling Electric promptly contacted me and was able to schedule me rather quickly. He kept me apprised of his expected arrival time by email and phone. He was at my home within the time frame and I showed him the electrical issues I needed to have addressed. He was up front in telling me that it was possible that they might not all get done within the 6 hours allotted, so I prioritized my list. He ran into structural difficulty during the installation of the security light (there were lots of beams and headers in the area he needed to access), so that project took a bit longer than he anticipated. He was thorough and showed me what he was doing along the way. In the end he was able to complete all of the items on my list (some were harder than I expected, some easier), and that included a trip to the store for several items. He was very professional, personable and direct. He cleaned up after each job and except for the final drywall repair, everything was better than when he arrived. Here are two things that stood out to me. First, he had to remove several areas of drywall with the security light installation. He's the only electrician I've ever worked with who actually replaced the actual drywall pieces (he was careful about how he made the cutouts and shaped the pieces for a better fit) and did a rough initial patch, including screwing in the largest piece. That made it so much easier to go back and do the finish work. Second, he has creative ideas about how to resolve problems. Because I am not familiar with electrical wiring, I thought that the only way to extend the control of lighting was to run wiring and add a switch. That in itself would have taken 6 hours. But his suggested solution, to add a motion sensor to a light switch, worked perfectly, without cutting any drywall, or running any wires. I can't promise that he'll be able to solve your electrical problems, but if you discuss them with him and keep an open mind, the solution may be easier than you imagined.
Description of Work: Extended power to enable the installation of an exterior security light and internal switch; added an outlet on a interior ledge that was 10 feet high; and resolved problems with an exterior GFI outlet, an interior ceiling light 18 feet high, and made a creative suggestion about how to fix a lighting problem.

Jeff arrived promptly at the time the appointment was scheduled and was excellent and very professional; he worked as quickly as possible to install a separate circuit line for my microwave. He explained things as he went along. Also he repaired one of my ceiling fans and after investigating the other (which was over 20 years old) he determined that it would be cheaper to replace it then trying to find parts. Once I obtain the specific fan that I am ordering, I will have him install it. I think he is very professional and honest, and his prices are quite reasonable for the quality of the work that he does. Note: I scheduled this appointment back around June 26 and the earliest date that he was available was July 29, 2015. Clearly the quality of his service is well worth the wait! He is trying to hire another electrician but only if he can find someone with the same high standards. I personally would rather wait for quality service than rush and have someone less professional do the work! I highly recommend Dwelling Electric!
