I had a great experience with Dollens getting an electric charger installed. Joshua arrived on time and did great work. Very friendly and I could tell he cared about the quality of the work and making sure it all looked good. Would definitely use Dollens again.

It's awesome to know he made you feel valued and ensured everything was done to a high standard. Looking forward to the opportunity of helping again in the future! 😊

After Dollens Electric replaced my service panel, I found I couldn't open the panel cover. The culprit was stucco left all over the hinges. I brought this to Jason’s attention, and he promised to send someone out to fix it, but no one ever showed up. I sent another message to follow up and was completely ignored. Very disappointed in the lack of communication and follow-through.
Response from the owner:Leon, we’re sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience. We do want to respectfully clarify that our records show multiple communications throughout the project, scheduled appointments, dispatch notifications, and return visits to the property. After the concern about the panel cover was brought to our attention, we did review the panel on-site, and our technician was able to open the panel cover and show that the door was operational. Dollens Electric completed the electrical panel replacement. The stucco/finish work around the panel was handled by a separate trade, as we do not perform stucco work in-house. From what was reviewed, the concern appeared to be related to finish material around the panel area rather than the electrical installation itself. That said, we understand that the panel cover should be accessible and easy to use, and we never want a customer to feel unresolved. We are happy to review the concern again and help coordinate the appropriate next step if needed.

Dollens Electric exceeded my expectations from start to finish. I called them out to diagnose an issue with my solar inverter that was throwing an error code, and Josh was the technician who handled everything. He quickly identified that one of the electronic boards in the inverter had failed. What really stood out was that he didn’t stop there—he worked directly with the solar inverter manufacturer to secure replacement parts, which I honestly assumed would not be covered under warranty. Josh was upfront about the extended wait time for solar inverter parts, which I appreciated. A few weeks later, he came back—not with just the replacement board, but with a completely brand new inverter that the manufacturer had sent out. He explained that the cost would be slightly higher due to the full inverter installation, but I was more than happy with that outcome considering the upgrade. The level of dedication and professionalism was impressive. Josh completed the solar inverter installation in the pouring rain and even had to return for a follow-up visit when the system didn’t immediately come online. Again, he was out there troubleshooting in the rain without hesitation. On his final visit, he went a step further and checked the solar panel system performance, making sure we were getting proper energy output and educating me on what to watch for with our 10-year-old solar panels. If you’re looking for a reliable electrician, solar inverter repair, or solar system maintenance, I highly recommend Dollens Electric. Josh went above and beyond every step of the way, and it’s rare to find that level of service and commitment. As a bonus, I’d recommend Josh specifically—not just because we share the same name, but because he truly delivered exceptional customer service and expertise.
Response from the owner:We sincerely appreciate your outstanding review and the perfect rating. It is gratifying to learn that our technician, Josh, provided the high standard of service you describe. Our aim is to deliver solutions that meet and surpass expectations, including ensuring effective communication and thorough follow-up. We are committed to enduring customer satisfaction and are grateful for your recognition of the effort put in by our team. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to assisting you with any future electrical or solar needs.

Can't say enough great things about this team! We were referred to them by a friend whose Contact for them in her phone says "My Awesome Electricians" - very true! The entire team, from the office to the junior techs are easy to work with. Unlike many contractors, they communicate clearly and often, about schedule, price, work to be done. And best of all they do EXCELLENT work! They replaced our Zinsco panel which was preventing us from getting homeowners insurance. Everything went smoothly: scheduling, work, inspection and they even have a stucco guy who works with them to do stucco repair when it's all done (he was good too!). Not sure about what happened with the 1-star reviews they received on Yelp because this local family owned business is well run, honest and very talented. They are very skilled and no, not cheap, but they charge a fair price--we got several quotes and they were all similar. Want it done right the first time? These are the guys to hire. Thank you Jason, Josh, Elijah, Brian and Josephine - you're now in our contact list as My Awesome Electrician too!
Response from the owner:We are truly grateful for your magnificent feedback and are delighted to learn about your positive experience with our team.

I recently hired Dollens Electric for several electrical projects in my home, and I couldn't be more impressed with the quality of work and professionalism displayed throughout. Projects Completed: -Electric water heater installation -Circuit breaker panel upgrade -Electric dryer wiring and connection From the initial consultation, it was clear I was working with a true professional. They took the time to explain each project in detail, answered all my questions patiently, and provided transparent pricing with no hidden fees. What stood out most: The water heater installation was flawless. They ensured everything was up to code, properly grounded, and functioning perfectly. The attention to safety details gave me complete peace of mind. The circuit breaker upgrade was handled expertly. They assessed my home's electrical needs, recommended the right capacity, and completed the work efficiently while keeping the disruption to my daily routine minimal. For the dryer connection, they ran wiring cleanly and professionally, ensuring proper voltage and a safe, reliable connection. Everything was tested thoroughly before they considered the job complete. Throughout all three projects, they maintained a clean work area, showed up on time, and demonstrated exceptional craftsmanship. I'll definitely be using them for all future electrical needs!
Response from the owner:We are incredibly grateful for your positive review and pleased to know that our team met your expectations with professionalism and skill. We strive to ensure that each project we undertake is carried out to the highest standards.

Very positive experience with Dollens Electric! Came back from out of town on a Friday evening to find the garage without power.

Update 8/2025 Still my go to electrical contractor. On time, plenty of communication, professional. Converting from propane to an electric BBQ (firewise change). Needed a new outlet on a 20 amp circuit that had an old 15 amp style socket. These are the guys I trust to keep us safe. 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!!!

After my car charger arrived I scheduled an appointment for the install, and Joshua came a couple days later. He was on time, knowledgeable, very professional, and did an amazing install of my Wallbox and Powermeter for a great price. I appreciated that he offered to install the power wires through the back for a cleaner install. He also explained to me what he was doing, and gave me chances for input on how everything should be laid out on the wall. I had a hard time finding a contractor who wanted to install a power meter for dynamic energy monitoring over an expensive DCC. On my first call with them they recommended an Emporia Pro which is the cheapest option for dynamic load management, so I knew that they had the best for the customer in mind. I decided to go with Wallbox's offering instead; although I picked a less common method for dynamic load management Joshua had no issues wiring everything and it was great to see that he took in my input instead of just telling me I had to install a costly DCC. I also liked that he already had a lot of prior experience installing Wallbox's car charger. Thank you for an amazing install. Support Local!
Response from the owner:Dear Kyle, We are deeply grateful for your positive feedback. It brings us joy to hear Joshua met your expectations, delivering a seamless and professional installation experience. At Dollens Electric, prioritizing customer preferences and cost-effective solutions is our utmost commitment. It's rewarding to know we could cater to your specific needs and value your opinion throughout the process. Thank you for choosing to support local business. We look forward to assisting you with any future electrical endeavors.

Called for an estimate and Jason came out the next day and we received the estimate within a few hours. The work began two days later. Josh was very good at explaining what he was doing and let us know if something he saw was concerning. Both Josh and Brian were very neat and left the job site clean. The estimate was very clear as to the cost of each part of the project. The final cost was exactly what was estimated. Also received a senior discount, which was very much appreciated. Thanks to Jason, Josh and Brian.
Response from the owner:Dear valued customer, We sincerely appreciate your kind review and are delighted that our team could promptly assist you with your electrical needs. It is great to know that Josh and Brian were informative and maintained the work site meticulously. Clear communication and transparency in our estimates are pillars of our service, and we are pleased to have met your expectations in these regards. Being able to provide a senior discount is something we value, and we're glad you found it beneficial. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to work with you and for supporting Dollens Electric. We eagerly await the chance to serve you again.

Used again today to troubleshoot a couple of problems (Solved) and replace a ceiling fan (looks and works great). These guys are still the best. I was pleased when they briefly reviewed an installation manual to make sure they remembered exactly how the brand worked. It was obvious Joshua already knew how to make the installation but he doubled checked anyway. (I'm glad I'm not the only person who still refers to a manual.) Call/use them; you won't be sorry.

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:Dear Olivia Chen, We greatly appreciate your positive feedback regarding the installation and service of your standby generator. It's wonderful to know that our team efficiently managed the installation within your space constraints while adhering to all necessary codes. Your satisfaction is of utmost importance to us, and it's assuring to hear our services met your expectations. Should you need further assistance or have any future requirements, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are always eager to provide our support. Warm regards,
