Reviews
DMV replaced two metal-halide exterior lights with LED fixtures. DMV was very easy to work with, responsive to messages, and its employee did an excellent job. At my request, he even returned to adjust the brightness of the lamps on the first non-rainy day.
Ali diagnosed the problem and installed a new light fixture quickly and effectively!
Needed an overhead light installed and they were able to send someone out the same day. Install only took an hour and they even dismantled the old light for easier removal. The new light is awesome. Thanks!
If you need any sort of electric or cable work done - use DMV Electric Service.
The electrician took a difficult situation and found a way to make it work! Everyone told us it was impossible and he came through in spades! Our front light-up numbers look great and this is my go-to company for my next job!
I was very skeptical. I had a long-time electrician I used when we remodeled our house. He had spent months resisting installing hall lights that were 10 - 18 feet above. I could never get him to commit. The lighting highly technical and was designed by a highly regarded architect - but this was nothing off the shelf. DMV showed up on time and did an amazing job. They are my new "go to"
It said $75 minimum but it turned out to be $225 for a $5 part and they still didn’t figure out one of the problems that still needs repar
Quickly helped fix a simple outlet issue! Came same day, and done under an hour.
I put off an outdoor electrical repair but finally relented. I had used Thumbtack successfully in the past and decided to just post the job and see what happened. Two hours later, DMV had arrived, repaired the electrical problem, and fixed another minor plumbing one, and was gone. He was very competent, very professional, and very kind. I will certainly call him in the future. I highly recommend DMV Electric Service.
DMV electric service diagnosed a broken doorbell and replaced it all in the span of about an hour. Super responsive and quick.
Very quick response and completed job efficiently and quickly. Great service.
DMV Electric Service serviced my HVAC system. They were thorough and wrote up a detail report on the work performed.
I was trying to replace some light switches with smart switches, including a particularly tricky three way setup (it was a mess of excess and incorrectly colored wires) and previously hired a handyman and another electrician for the work, both of whom couldn't make it work (the electrician was junior and didn't bill me for most of the time he was here because he felt bad). DMV's electrician was the first one to complete the job, they were easy to schedule quickly.
Showed up on short notice and fixed all my electrical issues quickly!
These guys saved us with a last minute emergency call. We had a smoldering electrical wire outside that caused a bunch of smoke and had been underground LIVE for years. They came within hours and were so professional they even inspected our panel to make sure we would be safe. Many thanks!
Needs of the customer were not met. A broken coax cable was to be repaired. Fixing the cable did not fix the problem. The technician did not know how to fix the issue. The company does not even acknowledge that the issue was not solved. Not good customer service.
Hired them to wire some Ethernet cable in my older house. Super responsive, and came and did a thorough review of the house and laid out my options. He was then able to do the work in two trips. Everything works exactly as we wanted. Highly recommend.
DMV Electric was very responsive and came out next day to move a coax cable jack from one wall to another. The technician did a good job and was in and out in less than 2 hours and only left one hole for me to fix. 4 stars because it was a lot more expensive than it should have been.
Was sent a confirmation email for an appointment and it wasn't actually confirmed. That fact was buried in a wall of text. After accepting the appointment, not showing up, they informed me ( an hour late) they don't even do the type of job requested with photos provided at time of booking.
