Andri H. says, "We recently hired Dixon Electric to replace a broken dryer outlet, an outdoor outlet, and to install a new electric cooktop. Matt was professional from start to finish. He arrived on time as promised and took the time to assess our needs thoroughly. He was very transparent, explaining what was required to meet code standards and offering a quote that was competitive with other electricians. Matt’s attention to detail was impressive, especially with the cooktop installation. He carefully read through the installation instructions, checked for proper wattage, and made sure our outlets wouldn’t be overloaded. On top of his expertise, Matt is personable, polite, and very easy to work with. I highly recommend Dixon Electric for any electrical work—Matt truly goes above and beyond!”"See more
