    Dominion Electric is a great client of ours. They take care of their building and are a pleasure to work with.

    A great place to shop for electrical parts. Although the counter closes at 3pm the showroom floor assistant helped me the best she could. I appreciate the help, kindness and knowledge of the employees.

    Professional electrical supply. Reasonable prices. Know what you want, and call ahead to have will call order picked and ready for pickup.

    DIY customers can buy here, but, it is best if you know your electrical parts vocabulary, and can find item descriptions on the web. Questions about electrical code may get answered if the counter queue is shallow, but, otherwise, you should know the part numbers, quantities, and characteristics. Example, "I want some wire to fix a lamp," in electrical terms is "8 feet of 14-2, stranded, copper zip-cord /lamp cord, clear or beige rubber or plastic coated."

    Don't even think about trying to call this place on the phone. You stand there at the counter in the phone rings and rings and everyone acts like they don't hear it. You wait in line forever to get somebody to help you. They have one of those ticket numbers like they have at the donut shop. Most of the guys who work they were really nice and it's not their fault. I think it's a small family-run business and they're trying to save money. Terrible customer service. There really is no other game in town and they know it. And you'll know it when you go in there.

    I'm rating this store as good solely based on my experience with one employee, Dave Konstantin. He was very helpful writing with us to figure out what we needed in our remodel. Overall, Dominion seems to have good quality products, many stocked.

    Went in needing wiring and a couple junction boxes to hold the splices of two rerouted light switches. When I asked the guy behind the counter if he could confirm I had everything I'd need he acted like he was doing a me favor just acknowledging I was in his presence and when I asked him if my plan was to code he immediately said I should have an electrician do the work.

    So, I decided to buy my components elsewhere. They will never have my business and I recommend everyone take their business elsewhere.

    Gave a call to ask for a very specific product usecase not related to electrical, but requiring similar components. I spoke to a tech named Rolando who was incredibly helpful, courteous and knowledgeable and was able to get me two part numbers I needed quickly, and route me to their availability in Chantilly, where I am going to be on my way to now in order to get the product. Very satisfied with my experience calling.

    Helpful staff, competitive pricing. Most of the local electrical contractors shop here. There can be a wait at the counter.

    The showroom has a very large selection of light fixtures and ceiling fans. You won't see as many items at a big box store.

    They don't want your business. Called today to schedule appointment for new home construction lighting. As I was trying to describe our unusual needs to the salesperson, I was repeatedly interrupted. During our brief conversation it became clear the sales person was trying to find reasons not to meet with me. I was asked a series of questions, including technical specs for our rooms, which in this case don't matter (I was never given the opportunity to explain). After the third attempted obstacle from the salesperson, I gave up. Clearly they're too busy for new customers.

    Decent looking products without anyone interesting in assisting with a sale. I asked two people who ran in the other direction and said they were already busy - no further offers to help later on, etc.
    I now have a few pictures (from your store - thank you) of types we need for our place here and for our other house in Rehoboth. Will work with another place I know of who aren't too, too busy to turn away a client.

    They have the best looking lights in the show room, and the staff is able to walk you through the process. I thought i would like something and after discussing the situation, i ended up with something else that i love.

    my business has also used them for the purchase of industrial lighting. The pricing was very good, and the quick turnaround made the difference.

    Great selection. Outstanding sales staff . Scheduled a same day consult for kitchen lighting . Worked with Jacob Sarner . Exceptional. Knowledgeable, personable, helpful, and professional. Could not have been happier.
