Nick Rippeth showed up on time and kept me aware on his arrival time. Did a great job with his assessment and clearly provided me with my options. The panel upgrade was done professionally and on time. All and all I would hire Dawson and will ask for Nick. Thank you team including Amenda and Preston as well. Great job.
We had an excellent experience with Dawson’s Electric. The service couldn’t have been more professional. We are happy we hired them.
My experience with Jonathan Baker & Dawson’s Electric was wonderful from the initial phone call to the finished installation. They were our 2nd estimate for a Tesla charger install. Their price was about the same as the first estimate, but their professionalism was leagues beyond their competitor. My install required a little bit of rearranging in the breaker panel, so I was going to be paying a little extra no matter who I went with. Jonathan explained every step of the process and laid out crystal clear options and recommendations. I will definitely be calling Dawson’s for any future electrical work.
Quick, concise, great communication
