D.C. Electric is a great, honest company to deal with. They do excellent quality work and the staff is prompt and friendly. I have used them many times for my electric projects and have referred them to my family and friends. You canβt go wrong calling them for your projects, I will be using them again for my future projects.

The speed of the service, the quality of work, and the clean up after, was more than expected. It's difficult to find a tradesman that will do not only what you ask for but more. Great Job!

This company does not disclose hidden fees and over charges for their services! Charged me 1.5 hours of work when my home cameras can prove they were there for less than 30 minutes! Did not give me a time, just showed up. They are in the business to cheat you.. stay away! Found out they were the company hired by my contractor a few years ago when we redid our kitchen. They (per the technician) didn't install it correctly from the start, which is why we have the problems.. so not only did they charge me 1.5 hours of work for less than 30 minutes of actual time, but I had to pay to have their mistakes fixed! DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS!

The work went fine. External GFCI replaced without issue, internal GFCI just needed a wire tightened up. I will note, DC Electric were the ones who installed the GFCI three years prior, so the lose wire was from their original installation (tech even pointed out it had not been installed properly the first go-around). In all took about 20 minutes. Received my bill a few days later. Charged for two hours of labor. I called to inquire about the two hours of time and was told one hour for labor and one hour for travel. But I'm sorry, being charged two hours for twenty minutes of work, when half of that effort was to fix something they previously installed badly, just isn't right to me.

Wow what an a-hole, if you're not a paying customer then he doesn't care. Here's a helpful tip buddy, next time you're parked in a parking lot cursing foully at someone try not to do it in your work truck with your number on it. Be a professional.

I was initially concerned because the project involved trenching and installing concrete to support the post, so I didn't know if an electrician would be willing to do it all. Dave Carlson was quick to respond to a request for an estimate and very open to doing everything necessary to complete the job. He also provided a senior discount. Dave and an assistant completed the job in a single morning, did very nice work on the installation, and thoroughly cleaned up after themselves.

Perfect as usual. I contacted Dave at an ungodly hour. He had his employee, Jake, head up to my place within a few hours even though they were extremely busy. Being a Friday, I was concerned as I needed the power restored today. Jake tracked down the issue and repaired it. Dave showed up towards the end and I had them fix an issue in my primary residence since they were already here for the rental. What can I say? Dave and D.C. Electric are my go to guys for electric contracting. I'm a repeat customer and they have always been punctual and professional, even with an emergency. I've had them work on my property when I've been out of state. It speaks volumes when you can pay a contractor for work without being able to inspect it. Dave even diagnosed the unassociated smoke detector alarm issue which made my tenant an myself much more comfortable. 5 stars! Again!
Description of Work: This is the 3rd time I've hired Dave and his crew. This time was an emergency as my tenant had an almost total electrical failure. The smoke detectors also went off which was extremely concerning. No smell of smoke though.

Dave and Jason installed a new 100 amp panel and basically rewired my entire garage. New conduit, new outlets, new light fixtures, etc. They also installed a new main feed line from Comed's connection. They checked everything to make sure previous work done by the prior owner was up to snuff. The work looks very professional. They were on time and they completed the job in one day. I've already called Dave back to schedule additional work.

Two different men from this company worked on lighting in my house on two separate days. Both came exactly when they were scheduled and called ten minutes before arriving. They were pleasant, professional, clean and quick. The first job I called for was small and I was treated very well. When I told him I had more lighting work to be done he said we would try to squeeze me in ASAP and sure enough they called that evening and scheduled a job for the next day. GREAT customer service! Both times I got a quick estimate and both times it came to exactly the estimated amount.
Description of Work: I asked DC Electric to install a light fixture in my garage. He was so awesome to work with, and did such a good job I asked him to come back and install permanent lighting in my basement as well.

Dave showed up exactly on time for the free estimate and provided a written estimate the next morning. When I called Dave to ask when he could come out, he said just let me know when the hot tub is delivered and he'd come right out. Other than emergencies, it's unusual for an electrician to be able to come out on a job without a weeks notice. Dave was true to his word- I called 2 days in advance & he was out on time & worked through the day to get the install completed. He even filled our hot tub, set the temp, and got it in working order before he left. Later in the evening, Dave called to make sure the tub reached the desired temperature and was working properly. Wow-who does that?! Oh and when he came out to do the job, he used drop clothes on the floors & vacuumed a few particles up,from the basement floor before he left. His price was fair & he was very professional and worked well with a team of guys who were already onsite installing the patio. We definitely will use Dave in the future!

Great service. He was able to provide same day service. Very punctual. Great troubleshooter. This was a difficult short to find. Offered very helpful information. Offered to install an outdoor outlet cover that would prevent the same problem from occurring again. Gave me a great estimate for some future work. I would hire him again in a heartbeat!!
