Excellent service and a very reasonable price. Tim was very friendly, polite, knowledgeable and respectful of my property. He took the time to explain what was causing the problem with my doorbell and electrical outlets and how he could repair it. There was no pressure, and he explained everything he was doing step by step. Nothing was done without my permission, which avoided any surprises. He replaced my doorbell, repaired the chime and reset the outlets in the garage and outside my home. I couldn't be happier with the service I received and I would definitely recommend this company.

I had a great experience and couldn’t be happier with the service! From the moment Charles arrived, he was friendly, professional, and made me feel completely at ease. He took the time to thoroughly explain everything he was doing and walked me through the estimates in detail, making sure I understood exactly what was needed and why.
Our safety inspection through the membership plan is well worth it especially when someone like Charlie shows up at your door! Charlie is not only knowledgeable, he shares his honest opinions on what should be replaced and why. He isn’t pushy and gave us a complete rundown of our home’s electrical safety needs. We felt so comfortable having him in our home. He is super friendly and pretty funny too! Our new puppy took a special liking to him as well! (sorry about that lol) Highly recommend Charlie!!
Very professional quick to resolve.
Bryant was prompt, professional, respectful, and efficient. Couldn't ask for more!
Excellent Experience!
I have had many service people come to my house and work, Jeff Lawrence was definitely one of the best. Very courteous and willing to answer any questions I had. Dawson Electric is lucky to have him on their staff. Great Job.
LIFESAVERS! If I could give 6 stars, I would. Nick was amazing and I'm so thankful to have found people who care. He was here ALL day getting our power restored and putting up with the chaos of my family. 🙂 VERY HAPPY!
Renee, wow! Thank you so much for this incredible review! We’re beyond grateful for your kind words and are so glad Nick was able to take care of everything and get your power restored.

I had Dawson Electric install a generator interlock and outside inlet for my generator. Charlie visited to estimate the Job. He was personable and professional. He had to come back to complete the job after permitting was done and the parts arrived. He did the work with another electrician and from what I could tell did an excellent job. I
Excellent Servince and Attention.
