All reviews for D C Electrical Inc

I am a local Reno area realtor. I contacted Craig with DC Electrical to provide a quote of repairs following a home inspection for a client. My client was on a short deadline to obtain the information. Craig was incredibly responsive, allowing my client and I to meet our contract deadline. This was so appreciated!

Several outlets went out while cooking dinner the other night, and resetting the breaker wasn’t working. We called D C Electrical this morning and they were in our home within an hour or so.

The issue ended up being a combination of using too many appliances on an old circuit and a bad breaker. They replaced the breaker within a few minutes and also took a look at our bathroom outlets, which hadn’t worked since we bought our home in late 2018. All outlets in our are currently working, and we weren’t charged nearly as much as we anticipated! Thank you for getting the job done so quickly and providing awesome service!

Called to see how much it would cost me to get an electrician out soon to fix a circuit breaker. He was very booked and wouldn't be able to come for a week so went ahead and gave me really good advice on fixing it myself because it's a simple fix. Walked me through exactly what I need to do and I was able to fix the problem in 20 minutes (including the time to run to the store for the part) for $12.66 compared to $365 minimum that another electric company quoted me to come out today. I will use this company for all future needs and reccomend to everyone!

DC Electrical did a great job installing a new kitchen ceiling light for us. They were right on time, prompt, cleaned up the mess, and they saved me almost $50 (based on a quote from a different electrical company). The light looks great! Thanks, DC!

Craig, Sean and Erik were on time and went right to work. Our job was a difficult one, but Craig came up with a solution that put us back online for our work and saved us money too! We highly recommend DC Electrical for any of your electrical requirements.

I had Craig install a Tesla wall charger. We worked through the quoting process effectively through email (my preference), they showed up on time, worked fast and efficient, and explained everything. It was a great experience, and ill definitely call DC again for any electrician needs.

These guys are great. They were on time, professional, and came in just UNDER my budget! I would recommend DC Electrical to any of my friends or colleagues. Thank you, Craig & Sean!

These guys were on time and even asked to come early, which was fine by me. I had what I thought was a breaker issue that they did some troubleshooting and found the real cause and fixed the problem. They did some ad hoc fixes for me as well since they were in the house, I took the opportunity to get some other electrical quirks fixed. I would use them again in a heartbeat.

We are new to the area and had to rely on reviews and BBB ratings to find an electrician.
Craig was very responsive on the phone and made several good suggestions based on our needs. We spoke with other contractors that made us feel like we were bothering them.
Craig was right on time and did everything we needed in a businesslike manner. He is our go to guy for anything electrical.

We had just bought a new home that was an older construction and wanted D C Electrical to install an EV car charger. As they assessed the existing electrical load (over a video call), we found many of the breaker labels to be faded or unclear. Craig and Sean came at my request to go through all of the breakers and subpanels. Then we scheduled for a visit for them to install a number of missing covers we found during inspection, a couple of additional outlets, and to install the wall charger.

Once the other tasks were completed, Craig reviewed the load once again and decided to stop work so he could go back and do more detailed calculations. It turns out we didn't have the capacity to add a wall charger and his gut was correct. Despite knowing we wouldn't be able to have them back for the installation, he crated multiple load calculations to show what it might look like if we didn't have some of our other high load appliances anymore.

I can't recommend them enough. Responsive, friendly, and knows their stuff!

I'm a retired contractor and needed numerous electrical outlets, light boxes, pulling wire in new Master Bath (remodel), additional outlets and connections under the house and in the garage with running the wires from the meter panel. Had a camera and light installed on front porch. I know contracting and especially electrical work, I would use Craig again for additional electrical work. He and Shawn were easy to work with, I gave them a list of items on printed sheet, they got right to it and were done in less time than I had estimated. Very fair price for the work, quick, and got the job done correctly-I inspected as they were progressing. If I was still contracting I would hire D.C. Electric NOW!
Thank you Craig and Shawn.

I have called DC Electric for a few different jobs: fan installation, chandelier installation and dimmer switches installation. Every single time they were on time, worked very quick and efficient. Invoice was sent right away, no hidden costs... and I even got a text reminder about the upcoming appointment. I strongly recommend DC Electric for all home electric needs.

I had Craig and Sean install a Tesla charging outlet in my garage following a very positive recommendation from a neighbor. Mine was a slightly complicated job because of the location of the electrical panel on the outside of the house relative to where I wanted the outlet positioned in the garage. However the job was completed quickly and with a very high degree of professionalism. The end result was even more elegant than I had anticipated. While here the team also installed a series of dimmer switches throughout the house. All Good

Our experience with D.C Electrical was great! They called my husband yesterday to help him troubleshoot remotely before coming out. Then came today and were able to fix our problem quickly. The guys were friendly, efficient, and so helpful. Highly recommend working with D.C Electrical.

Craig was great and open and honest from the beginning. Very reasonably priced.
He has a great crew who arrived on time and did a thorough job. Best part was that I had originally planned for several holes that would need to be patched and painted, but didn't need any patching due to his team's precise work. They also vacuumed and cleaned up after themselves. 5-star team all the way-- thanks

I had finally grown tired of not having fans in our bathrooms (house was built in 1960 and codes didn't require them back then), so called around on a Wed. to find someone and after leaving msgs with 5 electricians, DC Electrical actually answered my call and was able to put me on the schedule for that Friday! Not only did they show up at 8:00 (our appt time), but they installed the fans and cleaned everything up in 2 hours! It's refreshing to discover there are still businesses out there who really take pride in their work.

Detailed, timely, and professional. Craig worked closely to scope precise details regarding a 240V outlet in our garage for EV charging, and a standard 120V in the house. He proactively offered ideas for *reducing* cost, and worked directly w/ my landlord to ensure his approval. On day of service, he arrived at precisely 8am on a day with 1 foot of snow on the ground; shoveled a path to the working area; and finished within an hour, under budget. He kept me apprised of work throughout, and did a quick walk-through of the work to ensure satisfaction. Highly satisfied all around.

DC Electrical saved me. I had a problem with the circuit that runs my fridge and the rest of my kitchen. Of course the problem happened late at night, so I needed to find someone to help me first thing in the morning. Curtis answered my call very early in the morning. I was back up and running by noon! Very professional and explained everything I needed. I felt very comfortable with the recommendations I was given. I would highly recommend DC Electrical!

When we moved into our house, we had them a bunch of things done -- an EV charger, a new electrical panel, new GFI installation, and a ceiling fan. A ceiling fan was particularly challenging as it's a high ceiling and the attic access was not easy, but they found a way! We just had them over for another series of electrical work, and realized that the last visit was over three years ago. The same crew, and they remembered us, all good sign. They are always on time (and if not, they will let you know), pleasant, accurate, honest, great communication, and the quality of work is excellent. We are discussing more projects, like electric water heater, etc in the future, and we wouldn't even think about contacting someone else. So glad we found D.C Electrical!

We have been using this company for about 15 years at 2 different homes in Reno. They have always been professional and do good work. They arrive on time which is not always usual for many if these companies. Will definitely continue to use them.

Wow - I can't say enough good things about this company. I accidentally nicked a wire behind the wall trying to drill into a stud. After calling 5 different companies, the owner Craig of DC electric struck me right away as a straight shooter, and was legitimately looking out for my best interest in terms of pricing and tried to help me find the best solution. He even tried to explain how I could possibly just do the job myself and save myself the money of hiring an electrician. That alone said a lot about his credibility. I still didn't feel comfortable doing to the job myself, so they came out the very next day. Long story short - they did a great job and fixed the problem in the most cost effective manner. He gave me a very fair price. I was quoted twice as much from another company. I was so grateful I paid him a little more on top of what he asked - more as a tip. My wife and I saved his card and will definitely be using him for our next project we already have planned. Anybody reading this, do yourself a favor and skip the other companies. All they seemed to care about was charging me for what they could get away with. Craig acts with integrity, and he's great at his craft. Can't say enough about the great experience!!
