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.
