Dulles Electric Supply

The absolute worst - rude use vulgarities - threatened customers Do no do business here

The purchase of the first light was smooth and the salesman, William, was helpful. Jonathan, the salesman who helped us choose the second light, was very polite. I went back later to place the order and was helped by an employee who seemed to be in training and barely spoke English (which may explain why I wasn't told about the restocking fee, although that's not a good excuse). See above for the rest of how it went.

The sales person, Will Kelly, was very helpful in selecting a perfect light fixture for my cathedral ceiling stairwell.  He was able to provide suggestions and caveats with each light fixture. And when a selection was being narrowed down, he would look up similar items that were not on display, but could be ordered and shared those options with me as well. 
I had been searching for the right fixture for more than 2 years, and one visit a Dulles Electric and the professional assistance provided by Will, made the selection much easier than all the other options I had visited or on-line searched during that time. 
Because Dulles Electric does not install fixtures in my area, Will recommended someone that could do the installation, which was helpful, since this would require some expertise and was not a DIY project.  I hope to work with Will again on my basement lighting project next year.

We were helped by Josh Schalk, who was very knowledgeable on what products would best meet our needs, and what the electrician would need to do during the installation. We were specifying all LED products, so treading into unknown territory that does not always match conventional lighting wisdom.

The overall experience was good. The price I was originally quoted for the lights was much higher than what I found online but they matched the online pricing so I have no complains. Juno makes beautiful dimming LEDs and while they are more expensive than other brands, we have no regrets.

I had purchased lighting fixtures from Will, the manager of the showroom, in recent years. He knows his merchandise and can help immensely in identifying the right fixture and parts. He even installed the showroom when the store first opened as he is an electrician.
His selection of a spotlight to be installed at a distance on a cathedral ceiling for a very important painting was prompt and right on target. This kind of advice just no longer seems to be available from the sales staff at Dominion Electric many branches.
Will also helped a friend who was searching for decorative sconces in her LR. He provided the right catalouges for her to make a purchase by special order.

Great showroom and selection. Found LED puck lights for my cabinet. Salespeople were very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Didn't need an appointment yet they were still quick to help. The guys in the back (counter) were also very friendly and helpful. My only knock was that they didn't have everything in stock, but with a selection that large I can understand.

I looked for a ceiling fan at Home Depot and Lowes, both in the stores and on line, and at other on line sites. I did not find what I wanted in the stores and was reluctant to purchase a fan on line without being able to see it. So, I headed to Dulles Electric ... again.
Susan Nottoli was very helpful. I explained what I was looking for: bedroom ceiling fan, no light, reasonable price. She quickly recommended a Casablanca fan that fit my needs and desires, including price.
My experience is that Dulles Electric is very competitive on price, including compared to on line vendors. Don't let their extensive showroom make you think they are more expensive. They have a large number of quality vendors at prices to suit your needs.

They are an amazing company to deal with and very professional. We have different ceiling heights in our home and they helped us to pick out the right fixtures. I worked with Susan to get this done.

Very good selection and very helpful. Susan Nottoli, Residential Division Manager, provided excellent guidance on fixtures to consider for our kitchen and foyer. She gave us copies of the catalog pictures of the fixtures we were considering so that we could take them home to ponder which we thought would work best. Found that their pricing was comparable to Internet sellers. With the convenience of seeing our choices in their showroom, will definitely continue to buy from Dulles Electric.
