I had just moved into the area and the switch on a ceiling fan/light sputtered with a strong burning smell. DC Electrical came to check it, and all other switches and outlets. They determined that the switch had shorted out with no additional damage, replaced the switch, and instructed me on the operation of the lights and fan remote. They were very reassuring and helpful about the electrical system, arrived promptly and completed the job quickly and professionally. I would definitely call them again, in fact they gave me a very reasonable estimate to replace several ceiling fixtures.
Description of Work: Replaced faulty light switch.

Excellent. I called at 8 a.m. and Craig was able to be at our house around noon. He asked me questions on the phone about how many lights were being controlled by my dimmer switch and quickly figured out that the right replacement switch needed to handle all 12 lights over the bathroom vanities (which was much higher than the burned out one being replaced). While we have been in the house now for 3 years, I had never been able to locate the switch that controlled the landscape lighting for our rock walls. Craig and I took about 10 minutes together scouting around and he was able to find in located on the back wall of the hot tub which was pretty well hidden by shrubs. He provides very good service, very reasonable prices and does a very honest job. He will be our go to guy for all future electrical work.
Description of Work: Repaired/replaced faulty dimmer switch. Diagnosed faulty landscape lighting and solved mystery of where the unknown switch was.

Craig and his partner called me back promptly after my phone call the day after labor day then arrived one hour earlier then I expected. They were both professional and listened to my problem and answered my questions. They fixed a problem I should have been able to fix without dishing on me. I will definitely have them come back if needed.

[member name removed], I would like to take a moment here to share with folks what happened. I try to help clients determine these things on the initial call. There are 2 things people should try before calling an electrician. The first is to make sure you apply good pressure in the off position when resetting a breaker. Older breakers often get sticky and need to really be pushed OFF. Second is related to power outages in Kitchens, Baths, Laundry Rooms, Garages and outdoor receptacles. Newer homes 1995+ should have receptacles called GFCI's that have TEST and RESET buttons on them. Be sure to look around for these and RESET them to see if it solves your problem. You can also go to my website that give many other helpful hints in the FAQ section. Thanks again [member name removed]

Hi [removed member name], as a repeat client I value your business very much and thank you for the feedback. In the service business schedules don't always go according to plan:(. I believe I could have done a better job in communicating with you the day of service as I know people often take time out of their schedules to be there. As can be seen from 95+% of my reviews I take (being on time) to heart. As a jesture of my desire for 100% customer satisfaction I would like to extend a 10% discount on your next job. See you then!

Thanks (removed member name). Most troubleshooting issues can be taken care of in under and hour. About 1 in 10 are more difficult and require more time. In such instances I always communicate with my client how we determine the problem from basics to more advanced techniques. I dislike it when mechanics or other service people don't explain to me in laymen terms what there doing and the potential problems. Communication and Feedback! That's what I like and that's what I strive to give

Craig came and checked my electrical box and then discussed with me the problems. This is an old house I had recently bought. I was afraid I needed lots of work. It turned out it was just replacing a circuit breaker. He also told me that I may need to eventually replace my whole electrical box but I was okay for a few more years. I felt his cost was high but he was very prompt and quick with his work.

Thanks so much [member name removed] for the feedback. I'm very happy you will be using my company again in the future! In trying to solve the tripping breaker problem and save you money I thought I discovered the issue being an improperly seated breaker so I decided not to change out the breaker. Unfortunately my call was wrong and I had to come back and replace the breaker. Lesson Learned!

I just bought this home and it needed some updates and code work. I decided to use Angie's list. (Awesome choice) The actual work went well. The gentleman who did the electrical work was very professional. He also knocked all the old spider webs down (he didn't have to and there were a lot of them!) I was a little confused on the process since I haven't had the need for professional work around my home prior to this need. But I know now that you need to Call to make an appointment, they come for a look and give you an estimate, then schedule an appointment for the actual work. I would recommend this company again for any electrical work!

Hi [removed member name], Always appreciate the feedback I get from my clients to help improve my customer satisfaction. I would like to say that over 90% of calls can be quoted over the phone. With over 50 years of experience between my partner and I, I've become pretty adept at asking the questions necessary to accurately assess the project and/or problems. I know some of my questions during the call may not make sense to some clients but these questions all help in determining your particular need. Thanks again look forward to helping in the future.

Looking at the approximate date of service I can only offer that was about the time I transitioned to a new service provider and I may have missed the opportunity to serve you diligently.

I found D. C. Electric Inc. in the local book. I was impressed with a photo of his family and the fact that it was a local small business. I called Craig and he answered his cellphone right away. I explained the scope of work and he was able to give me a quote over the phone pending any unforeseen problems. I accepted the quote and scheduled the work for the following week. Craig arrived on time with all parts necessary to complete the work. His work is excellent paying close attention to cleanliness. All furniture was covered with tarps to minimize sheetrock dust. Before moving to a new room he cleaned the just finished room area. The completed project came in under his initiate estimate which I truly appreciate. I will certainly use Craig of D.C. Electric in all my future electrical needs.

They did good work, however, they called me on the scheduled morning of the job (Friday, Nov. 30, '12) and said that they needed to re-schedule. I actually stayed home from work that day for this install. We re-scheduled for the next day (Saturday) which was ok, but the owner and main person that I went over the complete install with, did not come. The work was still done well - no complaints there - I just expected the main person to be there and, the last minute cancellation cost me a days work.

So sorry [removed member name] for having to change the date of service, however if you recall the reason for the change of service was it was Raining Cats and Dogs. Sorry but water and electricity just don't mix. My partner is the only other person I work with and came out the following day (Sat.) he and I were the ones present when first looking over your job and was the one who serviced you on Sat. Fortunately for me I have 3 young and wonderful daughters who had activities on Saturday and I didn't want to miss them having there daddy smile and cheer at them especially while they are young. Hopefully I can make it up to you in the future. Glad you were happy with the work.

He showed up on time, did a first class job and vacuumed/cleaned up when he was done. He was very concerned that he did a professional job. Although he charged me extra for installing a switch that was supposed to be included in his quote, he charged me less in another area. As a result, the bill actually came out slightly less than the original quote. I'll gladly use him again.

DC Electrical did a great job. They identified a possibly defective light switch, identified that the wattage of bulbs was too great, and fixed everything within an hour. It has now been well over a week since their work and we have had no problem with the en suite lights. This is the kind of contractor you dream about having when you have a problem.
