James Delabarto says, "This review may be lengthy but hopefully worth reading if you are considering this company for electrical work!We recently had an electrical meter box on one of the 50+ homes in our tract explode and cause a fire due to a short caused by an improperly installed electrical service line to that house. Apparently the incoming line lacked the in ground "expansion loop" that is required at time of service installation when the home is being built. Dr Electric provided the damaged home with a new service line (including the loop) as well as a new meter box and associated require accessories. They also noted the problem in a few other homes and as a service to the 50+ homeowners they provided each with a letter explaining that many additional homes in our neighborhood may also have the issue. As part of the letter, they offered a free inspection of each meter box, along with an assessment of each home'sstatusand options to correct the problem.We decided to have them do such an assessment of our service line. We were given a very detailed / thorough explanation of our situation by Joe and Matt (owner) and decided to proceed with them and signed a contract proposal.On the day of the dig, even Matt the owner attended supervised and participated in the dig and the assessment / rectification of our incoming lineproblem. The dig reveled that we in fact did have the loop but was positionally installed improperly. He and crew rectified that condition and installed a new meter base, meter box, and expansion style incoming pipe. He also checked our grounding situation per code and found it met code. Initially thought we needed additional grounding, and reduced the price for that feature as well asfor the ground loop which he did not have to splice. Obviously a very honest contractor. He even waited around for 2 hours after the completion of the job waiting for RG&E to show to turn on the power again (RG&E misplaced the order to start service again). They not only do quality work but obviously have integrity and honestyincorporated into their approach to business!Very satisfied with Matt and DR Electic! Thank you guys!"See more
