DFL Electric, INC. did and OUTSTANDING job! We appreciate excellent service and Don provided it.
Description of Work: We have rental properties. One of our tenants phoned at 8:00 PM on August 7, 2012. She indicated that an electrical outlet stopped working. We phoned DFL that night at 9:00 PM. He indicated that he would contact the tenant that night and schedule an appointment. Don went out the next day and replaced the electrical out plus two other outlets. Also, he replaced some wiring that was done years ago. Don went above and beyond what was requested. He worked with tenant and explained to her what he did.

I awoke on Saturday to find that the blower on my furnace was notworking and therefore there was no A/C. There was no power to the furnace/blower controls at all. My A/C tech arrived after a call and determined that the breaker controling the furnace had gone bad and needed tobe replaced. Unfortunately he did not have the correct breaker and could not obtain one until the following Monday. The temperature that Saturday was heading to 98 degrees. I started calling electricians but no one was in or no answer. I found DLF Electric at Angie's List and called their number. Don returned my call shortly and told me he would be over in an hour after he finished his current job. He arrived about 40 minutes later, diagnosed the problem and then after explaining to me what he was doing he replaced the defective breaker. I like it when the craftsman explains what he is going to do and why and why the replacement part is acceptable to use. His price was more than reasonable for an emergency call on a Saturday. I would highly recommend him for anyone needing electrical work. I will use him again when the need arises.
Description of Work: Donald Friedland of DLF Electric Inc. replaced a bad breaker in my electric panel. He not only had the proper breaker but showed me the manufacturers recommendations that it was an appropriate breaker to replace the one that was bad. He also offered an analysis of my 2 electric panels and what he thought should be replaced and why.

Thanks for the nice comments. Lucky I had a spare dryer cord in the truck to repair both the appliance and the problem with the dryer receptacle in the wall. I hope you continue to call on us.

They were very good to work with. The electricians were very professional, cleaned up after themselves and were very courteous. The stayed at it and finished the work in a shorter time period than estimated. The inspector passed the work after a very short review, in a city where the inspectors are known to be very thorough.
Description of Work: DLF replaced our service panel after some breaker failure and resulting fire made this necessary. The also replaced or repaired our external meter conduit and brought it up to code. DLF was higher cost than the other companies that reviewed and bid the work, but I was much more comfortable with Don's knowledge and responsiveness.

Called Don Friedland and requested an estimate for backyard outside lighting. Don came out promptly, examined my needs, and was very helpful in recommending a solution to install outside lighting and an outdoor outlet. The work was scheduled and Don and crew arrived promptly. The work was excellent, all emplyees were professional, and cleanup was better than expected. The lighting area covers a detached garage area and a back doorway and is just great. I would not hesitate to call Don for any future electrical projects.
Description of Work: Needed backyard outside lighting for a 1955 vintage ranch home. A new circuit was wired from the main electical box to enable the installation of a double floodlight fixture and an outdoor electrical outlet on the back outside wall of the house. A double switch was installed in the kitchen to control the lights and the outlet.

Over the weekend we had a massive roof slide the ripped off the gutter and sent it down onto the main electric line coming into the house. We didn't lose power,but the line was damaged and sagging. I got Don Friedland's number from a friend who is a contractor and called him Saturday night. He called back that night and fit me into his schedule on Monday (Feb 7th). He came out and inspected the line and set up an appointment for Wed morning to repair the line. Due to another emergency repair, he and his crew were several hours late arriving, but when they did arrive, they got the work done quickly and did a good job of cleaning up after themselves. The main electric line is in better shape than it was before the accident and I feel very confident in the quality of work that was done. Don arrived with his crew and got them started and then came back at the end to check on things. I like a company where the owner stays in touch with me instead of just dropping off a crew. His crew was polite and skilled and I would be comfortable having them work in the house again. I feel that DLF Electric's pricing is very fair and competitive and the quality of the work is top-notch. I will be calling Don in the future to complete some additional electrical work that I have gotten a quote from him to do.

Very responsive and professional. DLF came by the recommendation of two other individuals. Don did not disappoint. He was prompt, courteous and incredibly flexible. He worked with a very compressed timeline, offered valid observations, and even came back during the city re-inspection in order to make sure there were no problems. I would definitely use DLF again.

Don and his helper were professional and worked quickly (although a bit chatty). He carried most supplies needed and quickly obtained the few items needed to complete. The helper did most of the work saving money and was supervised by Don the licensed electrician and owner.
Description of Work: Re-routed and reinstalled power from panel to exterior cooling compressors. Replaced conduits, intermediate junctions in PVC per code and replaced disconnects. Helped trace some questioned circuitis which needed to be disconnected and re-routed started by a different contractor during remodeling.

Excellent! Don quickly answered my initial call and came out the same day to quote the work. He and his helper(s) came on the day they promised and worked very hard -- even into extra hours in order to complete the work. Work quality is very high. Inspection went smoothly. Very attentive, professional and my electrician of choice from now on.

I was very impressed by Don. He was punctual, took a little time for introductions, and got to work. One of my interior outlets wasn't working. He looked at another oulet across the room thinking they might be on the same circuit. As it turned out that oulet had shorted out and there was a small fire in the box behind that outlet that had self-extinguished. He replaced that oulet and both were then operable. I also had an oulet in the garage that didn't work that he also fixed. I will bring him back to do some other wiring I need done this summer. I highly recommed DLF Electric.

I called DLF to get an estimate on electrical work. My first phone call was returned; however, owner was supposed to call back and setup a time to come out, but he never called. I called and left another message but never heard from DLF again. Update 12/15/2011: I updated my review after recently reading my original review posted almost two years ago and the owner's response. I based my most recent review on our initial conversation. Sorry for your health issues.

Response from DLF ELECTRIC, INC.
I'm sorry we did not not fulfill this person's expectations. However, health issues kept me at doctors offices and several trips to the hospital in both March and April. I'm feeling better now and hope this prospective customer will give me another chance. This is the only bad report that I am aware of placed on Angie's List. My helper and I are usually able to please our customers and keep then calling us back.

I was very impressed with the service. Don was very kind (even to my dogs!) and explained everything he was going to do ahead of time and gave me a written estimate. After he did the work, he again reviewed what he had completed in detail. Very down to earth and approachable. He answered all my questions and did not make me feel like he was rushed to leave. Very knowledgeable. I will be using DLF again for more work this summer!

He showed up when he said he would. He also reassured me that if I was not happy with the way the outdoor lighting looked at night, he would come back (which I didn't have to have him do). Overall, he was very fair and very efficient.

Don and his assistant did a great job, as always. They came right on time, went right to work, and everything was working when I got home at the end of the day. The cleanup was great also. We've used Don for several other fairly large projects and he always does a great job. He's very experienced and knowledgeable and is very good at recommending alternatives that might be less expensive.

Don was recommended by my real estate agent when a home inspector found some 'questionable' electrical items in my basement. Don took the time to speak to the buyer and assure the buyer that the problems were not serious and could be resolved in less than an hour's time. Don met me at my house on time for the initial estimate, then again when the work was performed.
Description of Work: Don and an assistant 'cleaned-up' some old knob & tube wiring, added a GFI, enclosed some exposed wiring in conduit, enclosed some loose wiring in a junction box, and installed a simple pull chain lighting fixture.

Don, the owner, made it convenient for me to get the job done. He had me leave the broken parts on my front porch so that he or one of his workers could come to do the job without me being home. As the temperature has been too low to paint, he will make another trip to touch up the light.

Don was very helpful. When he said he would be there he was. We did not have to wait long for him to schedule. I think he went above what I expected of him. He ran a line with the option of adding a microwave in the near future. His work was professional. They cleaned up after the job was completed. I also felt I was fairly charged for the work. I am very happy with the job and will be calling them again soon. I would HIGHLY recommend them to everyone in need of electrical work.
Description of Work: We are doing as much as we can ourselves and were unsure just what needed to be done. Don came out gave us suggestion, gave us an estimate and let us decide. An outlet for our new dishwasher was installed and a line ran to the box for it's own circuit and an option for an microwave down the line. He also gave us a lot of information which was a great help.
