I called DEL Electric based on good reviews on Angie's List, and I wasn't disappointed. I got a prompt response to my call and Mr. Lilley came by the house the next day to look at the area and give me a quote. This was a new installation, not a replacement. He quoted $150.00. I asked if he could do the installation 3 days later and he agreed. On the designated date, he arrived right on time and got to work. The installation went smoothly and I'm very pleased. Mr. Lilley was very professional and did a great job.

It was a semi-emergency, and I called them. It was late in the afternoon when I had an electrical problem. He showed up within a couple hours. He was courteous and professional. He checked things out and spent some time there. He never sent a bill, because his work was never quite conclusive. He didn't want to charge me. His responsiveness was very good. Even when I asked him if he was going to send a bill, he never did.
Description of Work: He fixed an electrical problem. He replaced some sockets.

A previous contractor cut large sections out of 3 electrical switch boxes to run more wires into them (single switch boxes, but ran a second switch into the same box). Doug came and replaced the boxes in each of the 3 rooms with new double-switch size boxes. He did a great job - it looks great and you'd never know that a repair was done! Also, he worked on a Sunday!!!

He was able to do an estimate on the day I called, and start the work only a few days later, working around my schedule. The finished project was perfect!
Description of Work: Relocated two switches and three outlets (some major re-wiring!) from two walls that I was in the process of removing. Also installed two recessed (can) lights in a hallway.

electrician, generator service

I bought a 7500w generator when Hurricane Earl showed up. After the false alarm and I had some time to do more research, I realized I need to have a manual transfer switch to power the house (using an extension cord is just not convenient, and it's very risky and against the code to connect the generator to your dryer socket). So I bought a 6 circuit Reliance manual transfer switch box & exterior power inlet off Amazon, and called Doug for estimate and installation based on his reputation on Angie's. Doug came by promptly and gave me a fair estimate. He then showed up on time as scheduled and completed the job in a timely manner. I just finished testing out the generator and the transfer switch today and everything is working properly. I will use him again if I need an electrician in the future. Strongly recommended.
Description of Work: Installation of 6 circuit manual switch box & exterior power inlet for portable electrical generator.

Doug showed up on time or a few minutes early and reviwed the scope of work with me. He went right to work and did a great job on a hot day. The job required him to go in my attic to run a new wire.Doug did a great job with no complaints and cleaned up behind himself. A big plus as other contractors have a problem doing this. I recomend doug to anyone needing electrical work. He returned my inital call quickly and came out to visit within a day or two and set the easy process in motion. Reasonably priced and exceeded my expectations.
Description of Work: Doug rewired my outdoor lights from an outlet in my garage to a new light switch in my foyer.

The overall experience was good. Contacted Douglas, I believe on Wednesday and he was able to come out Saturday morning because we were not available during the week. He was professional, courteous and punctual. Based on my experience I will use him again.

It went very well. He was running late, but he had the courtesy to call me and let me know he was late due to another call. He let me know when he was coming and he was very professional.
Description of Work: We had shorts through out the upstairs and some of the plugs weren't working. He came out, did some rewiring, and fixed it so we didn't have a fire hazard.

If I hadn't seen him myself, I'd never known he was there. He left the work area spotless. Additionally, he noticed that my ceiling fan needed attention and he fixed it! No cost, no fuss, just did me a favor. The pricing was very reasonable, and he was flexible in his scheduling in order to meet my needs. I can't remember when I've had as good an experience with a contractor. Thanks
Description of Work: Phenomenal workmanship and pricing. He installed 6 new canister lights (one was directional), in the ceiling of my home, and ran a new line from the breaker box on my first to the 3rd floor, through the attic.

Mr. Lilley was polite, prompt, knowledgeable, and professional. Upon completion, he double checked to see that electrical service was restored properly and that I was satisfied with his work, and he made recommendations on adding one or two needed circuits to better handle the load. I'll be calling him again.

The work went great! We had to reschedule once because the tub did not get delivered in time. He came the next day and completed all the work. Installing the recessed lighting was a real trial because our roof sloped way down to only a few inches over the attack. The people who installed our surround sound speakers said it was not possible to install them in that area, but somehow Doug managed. He spent probably twice the time he planned doing it.
Description of Work: Installed 2 20 amp GFI /120 volt circuits for our new walk in tub. Installed 6 recessed cans/trims/bulbs in or den. Insralled 2 dimmers and 2 duplex outlets.

I think that Doug is true to his word and I highly recommend his services. There are times that he does get busy, but I think that he is worth the wait. I have him coming back to do some more work around my house. As far as the rate goes, he charged me 600 dollars, but I gave him a 100 dollar tip in addition to that because he is so good.
Description of Work: Doug wired my shed and buried the line underground. Then he tied the line into the house. I have an average sized shed.
