Good service, thorough.
Description of Work: I needed my overhead lights in the kitchen replaced. I worked with Dan who was informative and was able to get a team to come out the next day. They rewired all of the lights to the same switch which is even better than I anticipated

Description of Work: Replaced 2 circuit breakers and 2 bus bars in a sub-panel. One of the breakers was in my possession already, so I actually paid him for 1 breaker, which was a used one he had on his truck. Waiting to see if this cured the problem. He was careful and thorough in his inspection and thorough in his work. A new breaker eith the rating of that from his truck is ~$195, tax included. I don't know what used breakers go for. Assuming $100.00 for the used one,I paid $295 for about 1-1/2 hours work which I feel was pricey.I would use him again, but negotiate a better price for his labor.

Description of Work: The electrician came out for an initial walk through for a car charger installation. I was supposed to get an estimate for the work but never received one. I called several days later and he acknowledged that he needed to get me an estimate. A week later I received an email from him asking me if I had the charger installed yet. Haven't heard from him since. I guess they didn't want the job.

Great.
Description of Work: I just had my 240 outlet installed for my electric car and wanted to pass along a great review. Jason and team did a great job and I'm very satisfied. They ran a 50 amp line from my panel, under my house to the outside of my garage and installed an RV rain proof box. The run was about 130 feet. They did a great job and no conduit on the outside of the house. They also give 10% internet discounts and 5% Facebook like discounts. The cost was a little over $1000. The install was clean and easy. Other quotes I got where between $1500 to $1800. I'm planning on using them for other work in the future.

The work was done on time and was high quality. The crew was professional and courteous. The only drawback was that we still haven't been able to get PGE to retag our meter.
Description of Work: We had our main electrical circuit box upgraded to 200 amps so that we could have air conditioning installed.

Dollens provided an accurate estimate and began work on time. I added in additional requests and they quickly provided new estimates and included the work. I felt comfortable leaving them with keys to the house. They handled everything for the permit process. Jason asked how we would use each room and where furniture would be placed before installing outlets and light switches. After the work was done, Jason came out and showed us how to use our security lights and adjusted them so that they didn't shine in the neighbor's windows. The phone and satellite company installers were impressed with our new wiring and only needed to run their wires to a central patch panel. I am very pleased with all the work. The ceiling fans are whisper-quiet, even at top-speed. The outlets are in the perfect location in every room. I highly recommend them for their professionalism, attention to detail, and technical skills.
Description of Work: Complete rewire of our 1920 home, including exterior security lights, fire alarms, phone and cable wiring. Installation of ceiling lights, fans, and dimmers. Installation of new panel and 220 service. Permits for all work.
