Joel Zizmor

Highly efficient service. Provided the best solution to charge our new Tesla avoiding purchase of a costly charger. Installed a 50amp line and outlet. Highly recommended.

Response from the owner:Thanks Joel! You guys enjoy that new car!

Public Brady

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.

Olivia Chen

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!

Katie Taylor

Wanted to replace very old track lighting in living room with can lights. Submitted an estimate request on a Sunday night, Jason came out first thing Monday morning to check out the project and provided a timely and reasonable estimate later that day and followed up with a phone call. Work was completed today, one week later! Josh, Elijah, and Ricky were respectful of our home, took great care to keep things clean and were very pleasant. I don't know why we put this project off for so long! We finally have decent lighting in our living room! Will definitely use Dollens Electric for any future home projects/maintenance!

Excellent communication and professional!

Jason seemed to know the possible cause for the problem when I told him that the parts of the house were losing power gradually, and he was right!! He came out on the same day and fixed the problem (burnt crimp in junction box in the garage) within an hour!! Excellent!

Chris Griffith

We had a great experience with Dollens Electric—they helped us replace old wiring, install new outlets, and install bathroom fans in our home (including adding the vents through the roof). They were very personable and easy to talk to, and it was easy to see that they put a lot of care into their work. We're looking forward to working with them again soon!

Cynthia Berglund

Leslie Aytch

L Jand

Dollens Electric has helped me on several occasions. I highly recommend them.

Response from the owner:It was good to see you again! You are very nice and easy to work for. I hope you get to see those grandkids soon!

Joel Z.

Installed a whole house fan that is quiet and effective. Greatly reduces A/C cost. Workers are fast and efficient and cleaned up 100%. Quality products.

Matthew McCormick

This is the second time we've used Dollens, first being when they upgraded the wiring to the entire house. This time they installed an isolated circuit in our garage and some can lighting. Even though it was a smaller job, they treated it just as importantly as the bigger job.

They answered all our questions, let us know and talk through our options and didn't do any additional work without letting us know and approve the price difference for our requests, rather than telling us at the end of the job.

A+ work!

Response from the owner:Thanks Mathew. You and your wife were great to work for. I still want to steal your dog!

Lynne Baldwin

We had a ceiling fixture out. Jason came on out and diagnosed the problem and got it repaired very promptly. Courteous and friendly.

Response from the owner:Thanks Lynne! It was a pleasure to met you!

Response from the owner:Deepak! Thanks for the review. I got to say you held your cool. It is mid December and we had to replace a major costly piece of your electrical system right before Christmas! Because you were so level headed you made it a pleasure to work for you. Thanks and Happy Hollidays!

Sriram Rao

Response from the owner:It was a pleasure working for you, Thanks for the review! Josh and Elijah mentioned how smart and energetic your son is almost every time they came back to the shop!

Khanh Nguyen
