Dollens Electric installed a natural gas fired standby generator for me in May Last year. Jason called me and came to service the unit. The generator works like a charm every time we had PG&E outage. The best thing I have ever done for myself. They are professional and efficient. Unlike a lot of contractor, there was no fuss.. it is a large generator, they got it in a tight spot, yet met all the codes. Very nice.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words and for trusting us with your generator installation! We're thrilled to hear that the generator has been reliable during outages and that you're satisfied with our service. We strive to be efficient and professional, and your feedback is greatly appreciated. If you ever need anything in the future, feel free to reach out to us!

The electrician, who is a son of the owner, was extremely knowledgeable, professional, prompt and expedient. He offered several options to my service request, but did so without pressure of any kind. The job was done quickly and with perfection. I highly recommend.

Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a positive review! We're delighted to hear about your excellent experience with our electrician. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're glad we were able to meet your expectations. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to serving you again in the future.

I highly recommend Dollen Electric. I called two other electricians and left a message to call back. They never did. However, Dolan Electric immediately...

I apologize for leaving a 1 star review earlier. I wanted to leave a review for another electrician service with similar name.

Response from the owner:I apologize for your poor experience. But I believe you maybe confusing us with another company. We have not provided an estimate or service to Ben Yu.

We recently bought a vehicle and I contacted Jason and he came right away. The next day his son Josh, cousin Elijah, and their friend came by to install our 240 volt outlet with precision and quality. I would go to them again.

Response from the owner:Thank you. We are so glad you are happy with our work. We really appreciate the review.

James Lowry

They are simply the best. Polite, on time, communicative, and always ready to help with even mundane concerns. I’ll never use another electrician. Jason and his team are the gold standard.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much James. It is always a pleasure.

Update 9/2020 - Upgraded some thermostat wiring for me with a difficult routing. Professional and quick.

Update - Jason and Josh again came through for me. In the midst of a heat wave, they were able to come to the other end of the county and fix an electrical problem at my mother's house. Got the outlets for the portable AC and lift chair back working and made the wiring safer to boot.

Original - Could not ask for better. Jason installed a new 40 amp circuit and an EVo charger for our car. (No more slow 110 charging. Yeah!) While working in our breaker panel he noted a dangerous situation left by a previous contractor who upgraded our air conditioning.

(Side note kind of disappointing the inspector didn't notice that the other contractor put in a bigger breaker on a wire that was too small. Luckily the wire insulation had just started to bubble and it didn't catch fire.)

Within a week they were able to fit us in to replace the faulty circuit as well as rewire our garage lighting to eliminate some creative but scary runs of extension cords and re-purposed outlets. Now I have bright lights and when I look up, I don't see wires draped everywhere.

We connected with Jason of Dollens Electric through our equally excellent general contractor Dan Mackey. (Who by the way had nothing to do with the faulty circuit or the creative garage lighting.)

Lastly a thank you to Jason's son Josh who got to do the crawling under the house.

Response from the owner:We could not ask for better customers. We are looking forward to their next project!!! Thanks Maggie and Jim!!!
