I called Dave on July 4th and he showed up on the same day, gave me a quote and returned a few days later to perform the work. Dave and Sam not only replaced the box but also organized all the incoming wires to the box to eliminate some unprofessional work that had been done in the past. The work was quickly completed, the work site thoroughly cleaned up. I know the work took longer than estimated but there was no additional charge. In fact my offer to pay an additional amount was declined. This is a professionally run business with high standards that I can highly recommend.

Sam came out and was able to reset the switch and explain why it had stopped working--that type of switch doesn't work with the newer LED and fluorescent bulbs. While he was there, he changed a switch for another ceiling fan from a dimmer to a toggle so that we could use any types of bulbs with it and so that it wouldn't burn out the fan motor. He looked at all of our ceiling fans and reviewed which kinds of bulbs we could use with each one. We have used Dave's Electric for a number of smaller electrical jobs. They always respond quickly and are able to come out promptly. For this job, Sam arrived at my house half an hour after I called him. They do good work at fair prices. It's our go-to electrical repair company.

Dave came over right away for the estimate. He is very knowledgeable, and he and his son are comfortable working with older homes like ours (University Heights). Sam called me the night before the work was to be done to confirm, and he put in a very long day because of all the work we needed to be completed. Sam was able to wire two new outlets in very difficult areas. He was very pleasant and professional. I am extremely pleased with all the work, and I definitely would use them again.
Description of Work: We needed two new outlets installed, five new light fixtures installed (with four needing boxes), two outlets converted to GFI, and one outlet capped off.

It went well. Dave knew exactly what was needed, he found the part, and he and Sam even stayed to help me center the dining room table exactly under the light fixture. Perfect! I would highly recommend Dave's Electric and would have them back any time!!
Description of Work: I had a chandelier that was partially loose from the ceiling, and I had a replacement (an antique that had been refurbished and retro-fitted) ready to hang. I contacted Dave's Electric on Wednesday and explained that I just got the replacement and that I was expecting house guests on Friday - and was it at all possible to get this installed before my guests arrived. Dave stopped by late that day and determined that an additional part would be needed. Dave and Sam arrived early the next morning and the replacement was hung in a very short time.

GREAT! Sam met with us several times and helped us pick out the best security camera system for our home. He installed them and they are working great. He also installed network cable through out our home. The quality of his work was outstanding. It exceeded our expectations. I would definitely use in the future and recommend him to anyone.

We were looking for someone local to assess and repair the damage done by another contractor and Dave came out right away. He was thorough and was able to come up with a workaround where we could avoid trenching in a very tight space and was able to install above ground lines and re-wire our garage to bring it up to current CH code. Dave and his son Sam are the business, no subcontractors. They are the epitome of quality, integrity, professionalism and are just good folks all around. They even left the garage cleaner than when they started the job! I would highly recommend this company for any of your electrical needs and would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

Dave was rude and surly and although he made an initial visit, and promised to return to do work, he never returned and repeated phone calls with promises to come at some appointed time, he never showed up. I know he has outstanding reviews, but we had a completely negative experience with Dave that delayed us for two weeks in getting the work done.

Response from Dave's Electric
On October 21, I sent a reply by email stating, "Recommendations based on today’s visit. The condo association hire an electrical engineer to assess the buildings electrical system. Not have the maintenance person do any electrical repairs. It can become a liability issue.". I have not heard of any follow up with the condo association. I walked thru a good portion of the building looking for the sub panel shut off. None were found. The sub panel is located in a very constricted space, a small closet. There is hardly any working clearance from the dead front of the panel and is hazardous to work with a life front. The building maintenance person showed me around the building. He clearly did not have the working knowledge of the building electrical system, electrical maintenance. electrical safety or safety measures to be taken when making electrical repairs. The customer had a private inspection prior to purchasing the condo. The report that addressed issues with the sub panel box. They chose to ignore it, move in without addressing the issues as recommended. We were at the condo once in April, twice in June and once in July to replace light fixtures and one dimmer. One of these calls included taking down a fixture for their old home and installing it at the recently purchased condo. Each of these call were challenging and demanding. The owner provided fixtures were not there and when they were delivered, it was as if should have been waiting for their phone call and we should drop everything for them. The under cabinet lights were a challenging installation as we needed to do repairs to the wiring and re-work the Puck lights for the installation. Needless to say we provided a service to our best and satisfaction of the customer. I am sorry that I did not want to compromise my safety and wanting to follow the lockout rules when working in a live box.

The job was much more complicated than it should have been as the hood had been installed incorrectly by the original contractors. Sam went out of his way to make it work including going to the hardware store for needed parts. I was very impressed, Sam went above and beyond, and I would absolutely use Dave's Electrical Service again!

Dave or his son always come through for me when I'm in a pinch. He came over when scheduled and assessed the electrical problem that had befuddled me. He didn't take a long time to perform the work and it didn't cost a fortune. This past spring, I asked Dave to do a larger job at my family business. He wasn't available when he promised he would be, so he obtained another electrician in his place to do the work. I was impressed that he went out of his way to make sure the job got done even though he didn't do the work himself. And the alternate electrician did a fine job. Dave's Electric are my go-to electricians.

Davie's said he would be out on a certain day, but he didn't show up. I didn't plan to call him again, but I had trouble finding another electrician, so I called him and left a message. By the time he called back, I told him I had found another electrician to do the job, and expressed my disappointment that he didn't show up the first time. Then the first guy (Time Electric) didn't call like he would. Subsequently, Dave's called out of the blue and asked if he could come out right now to do the job. I said no, and asked if could come out on a day when I would be working at home. He said he would call me that day, but he didn't. So I guess I blew my one chance to have Dave's Electric to come out and do the job. His failure to follow through on a phone call showed a lack of respect toward a potential customer.

Wonderfully. One of Dave's employees arrived within 30 minutes after I called and completed the job within 45 minutes. It was not necessarily an easy job because the house was built in 1920 and the electrical wiring is old and stiff. Additionally, someone had put in the wrong size box before Dave's electrician repaired it. After he was done, it worked perfectly. I was VERY pleased since I was trying to get the place ready for a tenant that needed to move in as soon as possible.
Description of Work: The company sent an electrician to my rental the same day I called. Thankfully, they are open longer hours than most of their competitors. I needed them to install a new electrical box for a GFI outlet and disposal switch in my kitchen.

It was easy to make an appointment & he returned necessary calls in short order. He showed up on time & finished the work quickly & efficiently, even under the watchful eyes of my sister & brother-in-law who can cause lesser tradesmen to tremble. I had initially requested TWO separate jobs, but he persuaded me that the second was unnecessary, thereby saving me about 50%. He was clear that he would do the job, had I insisted, but that it was not a critical project. So, all in all, I'd say it went quite well.
Description of Work: He reinstalled a bathroom lighting fixture that had previously been incorrectly installed. Now it works! Yay!

I recently bought an older home, and as a convert from years of apartment living, I am still on the learning curve for all the things I need to know about my house. I called Dave with a question about possibly needing to change the electric wiring in my house. His schedule was flexible, he was knowledgable and looked at the current wiring, made recommendations for minor changes and advised no major changes, which I thought might be necessary when I originally called him. He took the time to offer additional information and all of it for no charge. I will definitely call him for the changes and if I decide to make any renovations.
Description of Work: Inspected the electrical wiring on my older home to insure that it is safe to maintain as is.
