Service upgrade, garage panel, more
Description of Work: I’ve hired DLF twice and will happily hire again. In 2018, Don and Bob performed a bunch of upgrades to my residence. They upgraded my service and main panel, extended power to my garage with a second panel, ran a long-run pair of circuits to my pool and also ran a ground wire around my pool. The extent of work required a lot of logistical design and also coordination with a gas contractor who was responsible for the shared ditch from my house to pool. All things considered I was impressed with their professionalism and quality of work. CEI even praised the work done and materials used to move my service line from the pole. They added a lot of extras like extra outlets, an outdoor flood light and capacity for future outdoor outlets I’m leaving this review over two years later as I’m about to hopefully hire them again!

Electrician showed up promptly at 8:00 am. Replaced everything in one day which included 7 outdoor light fixtures, 4 ceiling fans with lights, 1 chandelier, 2 outlets and 4 indoor light fixtures. One of the ceiling fans and the chandelier were on a cathedral ceiling. Job was done neatly and the house was left clean. No problems with any of these items since the installation.

A convenient time was scheduled and 2 expert electricians arrived exactly on time. They had all parts and equipment needed for the work and were very knowledgeable about each job, including recent changes in inspection requirements. They rapidly completed the work and left the areas clean and free of any wires or trash. They also took time to explain things to me so I would know how to use the installations properly.
Description of Work: I called DLF Electric to install a light in my attic, replace an outdoor power receptacle, replace a GFCI in my kitchen, repair a ceiling fan light, and replace the plugs on a 100 foot high power extension cord.

Did ok in installing new electrical lines. The hanging of the tv set was another matter. As a matter of fact, I had another party out to rehang the tv set because they hung it crooked. Also put two holes in the wall and did a half a** job in patching the wall. Also, we had hoped to hook up 3 things, a tv, cable box and dvd, but they only put in a box with 2 outlets. Overall, just a sloppy job. In their defense, I did not call them back to complain and ask them to re-hang the tv set, but they also saw the finished product and were ok with it. For the amount of money we paid, I was disappointed with their work.
Description of Work: Added a dedicated 110 in the basement, an extra outlet in the bathroom and one in the living room for a tv set they put on the wall.

Sorry to hear you were unhappy. Had you called me, I would have sent someone back to re-level the TV. We installed a recessed duplex receptacle, CATV cable and phone line above a fireplace. Damage to the wall was discussed prior to you accepting our proposal. We made it very clear that someone else would have to repair the wall. There were some problems with the wall bracket you provided. Had you called me, I would have sent some to back to re-level the TV at no charge. Also, 3-additional outlets on 3-dedicated circuits were also installed at the same time. There was no mention if you were happy or not with those. My guys are very good at their jobs running outlets.(just check the other reviews) Hanging TV's is usually performed by technicians who install them for a living. I'm sorry there was a problem with the TV. However, you did not offer us a chance to make it right. Don, DLF Electric

As far as service goes, Bob is excellent. He did what I wanted and does excellent work. He is personable and gets work done efficiently. My major complaint is with billing. The owner adds a surcharge for doing the work. It seems little more than a way to extract money for the company. I understand service fees for estimates or if the total job is less than what would be a minimal fee. It is frustrating to pay for service and then pay a service fee on top of the service. I would not use this company again because of their pricing structure.
Description of Work: Replaced light fixtures in basement, adding on/off switch to those lights, removed a row of track lighting and got LED bulbs for the remaining track.

I am delighted to read that each time Bob came out you described his work as excellent. Pleasant, helpful, courteous, personable and gets work done efficiently were also used. I was disappointed that you feel our policy of charging a service call fee is my way of "extracting money for the company". A service fee helps keep pricing per hour down, allows us to offer free estimates, explain customers their options and helps to cover our overhead. You were aware our policy and paid it previously. What has changed your opinion? now?

Bob from DLF was excellent. He involved me in the process on determining the problem, recommended placed to look to replace the lamp post, and installed the new light when it arrived. He was pleasant, helpful and courteous. I would hire him and this company again. The work is excellent and the experience with them was exceptional.
Description of Work: Determined the reason the light on the drive was not working was because the lamp in the post had burned out and shorted out the wires. A previous electrician told me he would have to dig up the front yard to discover the problem and fix it. I am glad I got a second opinion.

After the initial consultation and estimate, the two workers showed up promptly and spent the day figuring out how to install two outlets in a situation that was less than ideal. They kept their good humor throughout the day, and used great ingenuity in figuring out a difficult problem. They even installed two new fixtures at no additional expense! Extremely happy!

Called the company and left a message. Don, the owner called me back within 45 minutes. I am selling a house in which the real estate agent had suggested i get a lot of electrical work done. Don spoke to me about what may need to be done and what may not. He didn't force a sale on me. He said he would send out someone the next day!! The young man came out and spent over an hour going over some of things we need to sell the house. He itemized everthing and explained in detail what was needed. He was nice and professional and even suggested some things i could do myself to save money! How refreshing. I am going to have some work done, and you can bet I will have Don and his company do the work. I will post another review after that and I am sure it will be once again, a great review.

Our initial meeting was to evaluate what needed to be done. We walked throughout the house so that we could discuss possible issues. Price was discussed and we agreed that the work would be done after the winter holidays. Early in January I called and we set up a schedule. I had to change the day agreed upon due to the need to attend a funeral. The work was scheduled to be done on January 19 and 20. TJ and Bob arrived and immediately began working and continued to do so until mid afternoon. They returned the next day to complete the work.
Description of Work: Evaluated the electrical elements within my 80+ year old home and made suggestions for work to be done. They eliminated some knob and tube wiring, installed some GFI's, grounded some outlets, updated my electrical box, removed useless wires and outlets, and took care of some frayed outside wiring. Some smoke detectors were replaced and bare light bulbs in the attic and closets were covered. They also cleaned up the outlets and light switches so that they are the same color within any given room.

This is a first class operation, I called the company at approx 11am and the owner had 2 employees out to my house late that afternoon to do a quote , the electrician explained in detail what he would do and how he could use existing switches so they didn't have to make more holes then was necessary, now that is service. They arrived on time and completed the job as described and cleaned up after the installation , you would not even know they were here. I got 2 other quotes for this job and they were close in price but the professionalism and responsiveness was not there. I went with DLF Electric and have not been happier and will highly recommend them to friends and family. Thanks for the great job .
Description of Work: The provider installed 8 new canned lighting in kitchen and dining area , also installed 2 new pendant lights over counter and a new pendant over the sink area, and installed dimmer lights

This is a busy company but one I would use again and recommend. The guys that did the actual work were friendly and efficient. They offered ideas and suggestions on a couple of things. I bought much of the hardware (lights and outlet boxes) and they did the work to install. I smile every time I go into my kitchen and turn on the lights.
Description of Work: Added under cabinet lighting in kitchen, added additional outlet outside, ran wire and hung speakers, added new outlets for cabinet lighting, installed 2 in floor outlets in study, added outlet and line for new microwave, installed new microwave over stove, installed new GFCI outlet in garage for sprinkler system, added 2 arc fault breakers.

We sometimes send one person for an estimate & another do perform the work. TJ, who wrote the estimate was on vacation, so Bob wanted to verify not only where he was going but make sure he brought the correct materials to complete the job. He left his cell number for the customer to call back. When no call was received...he moved on to the next job. Many small businesses' do not have a secretary answering a phone. My personal cell phone & home number are on all business cards & forms for emergencies.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! T.J. and Bob were awesome! They worked on projects throughout the whole house and had everything up and running smoothly. Three days worth of work and they answered my questions, eased my concerns and were a joy to work with. After every new outlet installation, they cleaned up after themselves and gave a full report on the work that was completed. The owner paid a visit just to make sure we were happy with the job and to make sure our questions were answered. We will be sure to use DLF Electric again for future projects, we couldn't be happier with their work!

From start to finish, the entire process took about 1 week from the initial call. I had previously called another electrical service but never got a call back. I noticed DLF was local and had done a lot of work in the area and decided to call. I prefer to support local companies when possible. TJ called me back within a day of my initial voice mail and came out a day later to check out the work. I actually ended up asking about a lot of future work based on my initial conversations so I decided to start "small" and go from there. TJ gave me advice on code, future projects and methods they would use to run more outlets both inside my home and to my garage, in addition to the work I originally called him out for. He wrote up a complete estimate all on all the jobs and actually spent a good deal of time here explaining all of it. I ended up just choosing the original work (a new external outlet for a hot tub, and a fix to a broken switch for an outdoor lightpost) since that was the most critical. TJ also recommended bringing an old external outlet up to code by enclosing it in a proper box. He was very professional and thorough in all respects. TJ came with a co-worker within about 3 days and they were done in under an hour. The external outlets look great and I feel better about plugging in outdoor devices - especially the tub that wasn't fully weather-protected before! I'll be calling DLF back for the rest of the work, I'm sure. I have zero complaints. I feel the cost was reasonable, especially considering the bulk of the cost was in the hardware itself.
Description of Work: I had a new, external outlet installed, a faulty switch replaced (that TJ troubleshooted on the spot during the initial visit) and had a second external output properly enclosed.
