I left a review a few years ago and it just vanished. I highly recommend this company. Craig has done may jobs in my home over the years. Installed fans, under cabinet lighting, put in lighting where there wasn't any and moved several outlets. They are very clean and do not leave a mess behind, they show up when they say they will. I can not say enough about this company. They are fantastic.

Another great job by DC. Needed a 110v to 220v conversion in the garage. Came out quickly, super competent and careful work. Highly recommended!

I've had Craig do several small projects including a main panel repair. I was very impressed with the quality of his work and his pricing was very fair. I'm rather familiar with residential wiring and his work was very professional. As with all the trades in Reno, things are really busy, yet he is able to squeeze you in if you have an emergency. I highly recommend DC!

DC Electrical has done electrical work on my home for over 5 years. Among other things, they have installed an electrical panel and heated floor controls (and replaced them when they wore out), capped an attic fan and installed a security light. When I call, Craig responds quickly, I get an appointment in just a few days (or sooner) and they are here usually 5-10 minutes early.

They do the work quickly and neatly and most importantly, correctly. I have never had a problem with any of their work, although I can't say the same for the heated floor controls! I recommend them highly.

We hired them to replace our current electrical panel and install a new 200amp panel. We have nothing but positive things to say about their service. They were polite, easy to deal with and got the job done right. Not only that they went above and beyond. My husband was able to ask them a few simple questions about wiring inside the house so we could fix the outlets. Also, my husband told the workers that he would be heading to Home Depot to pick up an electrical box.

One of them offered to pick it up for us because they already had someone at the store. I find that lately customer service is lacking because construction companies don't need more business but this company was amazing. Their customer service is spot on. We highly recommend them and will be using them again when we are needing electrical work on the addition to our house.

I have had several things done by Craig at DC and always enjoy working with him. I have even recommended him to friends, which we all know is risky business (what if they hate him? Well, not gonna happen with DC Electric!) They showed up when they said they would; they cleaned up after themselves; they got everything right the first time; and always pleasant and honest! Cannot ask for more than that! Call DC Electric for all your electric needs!

Craig, owner, does a professional job & highly experienced but the more frequent I used his services, the pricier it was. The first job was extensive and fairly priced because he said I was in the same community as his address. He showed a price list in future jobs after I used his service and I was shocked at how expensive his charges became. I have since used another electrical company who was priced fairly with the same experience & professionalism. Do your research.

I recently bought a house in Reno. I contacted DC and Craig was absolutely amazing! The home was built in 1900 and needed a panel and service upgrade, new power to many areas and grounding of outlets. He thoroughly explained the pros and cons of each issue and suggested the lower cost alternatives. He also was great with coordination with the plumber Moseleys Plumbing a separate 5 start review. Craig was responsive and incredibly knowledgeable and easy to work with.

He delivered as promised and exceeded what I ever would expect in professionalism. Wish I could give 10 stars. Honest, professional, knowledgeable, fairly priced and best of all delivers as promised.

Long story involving plumbing problems and mold and a torn up kitchen and a person [that would be me] who had too many kitchen appliances plugged into the living room and boom. Dead appliances. The DCE team was at my house within a couple of hours and assured me my appliances were fine but should not be in the same outlet, and then fixed the ancient outlets so I would not have to worry about this going forward. Highly recommend. Thanks guys!

Called for help with a fixture that would not turn on - we had installed a new one and did everything we could. Called them and he came the next day. Very nice and it took him 2 minutes to diagnose the problem and replace an incorrectly installed switch (by previous home owner). Spend a total of 12 minutes doing repair. I felt a little dumb but HE is the expert.

He had given me a quote before he arrived for the call - so I knew the price ahead of time. When you call him, ask for his advice of things you can do on your own - he will help as much as he can but again, for safety, pay the price for the expert - not just a handyman.

D.C. Electrical did a great job with our vanity light installations in our bathrooms. They were able to explain to us the process to their installations and answered all our questions. They were clean, efficient, and on time with the project. I highly recommend them for their professionalism and friendliness. Thank you.

Craig and Shawn did a great job replacing my noisy old bathroom exhaust fans! Quick and responsive. Super helpful telling me what to look for when buying the replacement fans! Will definitely call them again for any electrician needs!

DC Electric Was great. They came out within two days of me calling and completed the job and cleaned up after themselves. My hallway now has great light!

My experience is 1+ years ago. I would never hire this company again. I did so because of their excellent reviews on Yelp. First, I did not expect three men to show up for an installation job of a ceiling fan, an outdoor light, and two outdoor outlets. They walked around my house like they owned the place and I couldn't keep track of where they were. Second, two of the three had long beards and reeked of alcohol and cigarettes.

They weren't drunk, it just seeped through their pores in a way they couldn't help. I am extremely sensitive to cigarette odors and I was repulsed to say the least. When I told them I was going to turn off the circuits to the places they were working, I was told not to bother. Third, the head guy "forgot" I asked for the outdoor outlets installation when I booked the job and he did not have any on his truck.

He had to drive 15 miles to a Home Depot while his men stood outside smoking. Fourth, when I asked him about the safety of an outlet that was brown from sparking he said, "Sure, no problem, as long as it works." A year later when I replaced the outdoor light I discovered that the worker did not connect the ground wires. The price was not cheap. It took all of 15 minutes to install an outdoor outlet since it hooked into an existing indoor outlet.

I think this company makes money by hustling to get everything done as fast as possible, and then off to their next job. The owner doesn't consider what certain customers might want in an electrician (one worker, non-alcoholic with a neat appearance, discuss the work order before getting started, and always, always, put safety first).

Craig from DC Electrical is a total pro. His communication was impeccable, he went above and beyond when I blew it and didn't have the power on when he arrived to do the work (whoops), and he fit me into his schedule anyway. Even his voicemail, email appointment reminders, and follow-up communication were fantastic. Thanks, Craig!

Craig and his team showed up on time and ready to work. I had them install three timer light switches and two over head lights wired to the light switch on the wall in bedrooms that didn't have any overhead lights to begin with. It took a little less than two hours. Everyone was polite, answered all my questions, and cleaned up after the fact. Craig showed great attention to details.

As they were leaving it noticed a crack in the light switch over that hadn't been there when they started and he made sure it was replaced. All in all, I'm very happy with the work they did and will hire them in the future should I need any further electrical work done.

I replaced a GFI outlet in my home, and it wouldn't work. I am fairly handy and take care of things myself if I can, but I have learned my lesson with electrical. I do not enjoy shocking the living hell out of myself and I don't want to burn my house down, so if my rudimentary attempts don't work when it comes to electrical, I call a professional.

I didn't use Yelp, but I looked up electricians in my area via a web search. I called DC Electrical and I spoke with Craig (I believe) who tried to talk me through checking the outlet in case it was something small, so I wouldn't have to spend the money for him to come out. Since electrical is not one of my strongest suits, I wanted him to come out and fix it and we also wanted some estimates for other projects. Craig tried to save me the money, but I wasn't having it. Came out the next day and it took him 2 minutes to repair it, which happened to be exactly the problem that he told me it could be on the phone.

I received an appointment reminder by email and the invoice by email, and then used PayPal so payment was quick and easy. Even got a military discount. All in all, I received good service from this company.

I have used DC twice now. Quality work and the first job I felt it was a good value, but the second job done recently was very expensive for the work done, so from a value perspective disappointing. Be sure to ask to be billed an hourly rate rather than a flat rate.

We had an outlet start sizzling and cracking last night at 9:30 pm. Looked last night on Yelp and found DC Electrical. I called this morning at 7:15 am and left a message. Craig called me back within the hour and was at my house around 10 am and now everything is replaced and fixed! Super fast and super friendly! Price was very reasonable for what I had done. I would highly recommend this company and will use them in the future!

I am really happy I chose Craig and his company. I did this based on his 5 star rating off of Yelp and I was not disappointed. We had an issue with some electrical in our landscape lighting that was not easy fix for us, so we called Craig. Craig and Shawn came out, fixed the electrical issue and also installed all new LED landscape lights in our front yard.

I was going to do the same for the backyard and Craig recommended I wait until there is an issue as not to waste money. I thought this was commendable as he could have easily made a lot more money, but opted to put his client first. Craig and Shawn have great attitude, work hard and fast and get the job done. They also cleaned up everything once they were done -- which was greatly appreciated. I highly recommend this guys.

Craig and his team are really great. Had them install two chandeliers (replacing two pendants), a light/fan combination which required pulling ceiling wires & cutting sheet rock, a light over the hall bath tub (more wiring & sheet rock) and a dimmer switch. Promptly received a response to my email and estimate from Craig. Scheduled an appointment based upon the scheduled delivery of the light fixtures.

Very easy to deal with. They arrived on time, in fact a little early. They took only 1.5 hours to complete everything. They are neat and reliable. His pricing is not cheap but it's fair and worth the money. We would use them again.

I've called Craig several times with electrical issues related to my A/C unit, and each time he gave me good advice for fixing the problem without him coming out, and he recommended a good A/C repair company. He's very friendly and helpful and does not try to do work just to make a buck. I'll be using him for any other electrical needs I have in the future.

While I wish I was smart enough to change the bad fuse by myself, D.C. Electrical came right out and fixed it within minutes. I text pictures to him the night before so he knew exactly what to do when he arrived. He was fair in pricing and helped me understand what to do next time (being that we just bought the house). I will definitely use their electrical expertise in the future and feel very fortunate to have found a great electrician.
