Real Stories from Our Customers
Kenneth Yamamoto MDTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Charles electric repaired light fixtures in our garage. I called 8 AM on Monday and a serviceman arrived one hour later and repaired the problem quickly. He was pleasant and very helpful regarding other electrical issues!! Mb2Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. You won’t find better customer service. Dan stands by his work and went the extra mile at every step of the process. We were deciding between a battery and a generator and ultimately it came down to knowing we’d have Dan to help us out for the life of the generator. Tim HanrettyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had the great good fortune to contract with Charles Electric to install our whole-house, Generac 22K watt generator. From start to finish, we could not have been more pleased with the process. Dan Charles is an incredibly nice, personable and hard-working individual, and his team of installers reflect these qualities. Dan checked in with us the evening prior to the installation regarding their ETA the next day. He texted us that next morning to confirm the ETA (no change) and then again when they were five minutes away. Once on-site, Dan introduced us to all of the team members, then they set off to work. And work they did, like a well-oiled machine! Honestly, we were a bit leery of Dan's estimate of a one-day installation, but he and his team proved us wrong, with time to spare. They also had time to remedy a non-generator, storm-damage electrical issue at no additional charge! In addition to the first-class installation process, Dan's price-point could not be beat. As consumers, there is nothing better than purchasing a top quality product at a very favorable price, followed by a top-notch installation process. We highly recommend Dan Charles Electric without hesitation. James MoranTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Let me start this recommendation by saying that Dan Charles (of Dan Charles Electric) is a remarkable guy. He takes such an interest in his clients, is so helpful and responsive, and does everything he can to ensure that any job or project which he's doing is done superbly. And he manages to do all that with an easy manner, warmth and a terrific sense of humor. In particular, if you want to have either a portable or a standby generator installed, you cannot do better than asking Dan to do it. He is a Generac dealer and Generac-trained technician, and he is dedicated to getting your generator working properly, and to fixing any problem that may arise after installation. There is no doubt that for any electrical problem or need, Dan Charles Electric deservedly gets 5 stars. Millie GottwaldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dan and his team installed a GENERAC standby generator . They did an outstanding job and taught me how to use it. He is a professional in every way that you can trust to follow through on a successful project Clarence ApplegateTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the joyous misfortune of electrical-related damages from trees from the recent storms. I gave Charles Electric a call to address the issue. From my perspective, their response was near-perfect. Some examples: * When I initially contacted them, they were in the middle of working with another customer. Dan said he was working on the other issue right now and said that he didn't want to do something off-the-cuff, asked me to send some photos and relevant information and he would get back to me with a proper response within a couple hours. Which he did. From my perspective, this shows proper care both for myself and the other customer. * I asked some time-urgent questions before the work started; he got back to me quickly (and saved me tremendous hassle in doing so). * Dan was able to schedule me for the next day, regardless of weather. He showed up with his team on time and got straight to work. * The issue turned out to be much more involved than expected. Dan kept me informed of the state of things and gave me alternatives when they were available. * Dan and his team doggedly pursued the work to completion, even in the face of an unexpectedly gnarly issue. At the end, the work was clearly high quality *and* he left the work area clean. * In my experience electrical work is never cheap; that said, considering the scope (and quality) of the work involved, I was VERY pleasantly surprised with the final cost of the work. * Through all of this, Dan was communicative and maintained an upbeat attitude. Exemplary experience (well, not the storm damage part). Thoroughly recommend. 'nuff said
