Reviews

What customers say

Another appreciated his follow-up to test things after neighborhood power was restored.

Customer Reviews

Jon Warden

David was great to work with designing and installing our generator transfer switch. He listened to our requirements and proposed two different solutions to meet them. We found his estimate lower than other estimates we received. He communicated clearly so we knew what to expect from the solution we chose. He showed up with his employee Troy at the appointed time and performed the work promptly. He explained the situation clearly when he ran into a minor complication and was able to complete the work after purchasing additional components. The final cost was in line with his original estimate. Troy shared with me his experience using a generator for an emergency power source like we were planning on doing. Great service at a reasonable price!

Hollis Stansbury

David has the standards and experience of a large electrical contractor combined with the feel of the friendly neighborhood electrician. He did an efficient, timely, and clean job upgrading my panel and a few other odds and ends and all at a great price. I will be calling David again for any electrical needs in the future.

Nicolette Yates

Down Home Electric and David’s expertise and care are so appreciated! Highly recommend! Our meter boxes were ripped from our home by Helene and David quickly quoted, acquired materials, and replaced the boxes. He then followed up when power was restored in our neighborhood to test things out and contacted Duke on our behalf to report an issue down the street that was still affecting a few homes in our neighborhood. Excellent work! Thanks David!

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Down Home Electric approach ceiling fan installation?

The existing fan or light fixture is removed first, and the box's rating is checked. If the box is not fan-rated, Down Home Electric can remove it and install a fan-rated box.
