Dunman Electric

Jose came out to install a ceiling fan for my elderly parents and he was professional, efficient, did a great job and cleaned up after himself. Parents were very happy with him and his work.

If you want to be ripped off this is the company for you. They sent out an unqualified electrician who struggled for 7 hours for change 10 switches. When I complained, they just ignored me. Also they took some of my fixtures and never returned them.

Charged me for parts that I bought myself. Did not send me an invoice until several days after the work was done. They have acknowledged the mistake; however, I have not received reimbursement, and it has been five months.

As many other reviews state, I paid for this company to do some electrical work and at the same time paid extra for them to look at several things that I needed a quote for. It's been over a month ago; way before the ice storm. they don't communicate back with me. I've asked for the manager to look into it. I've called five times and all I get is excuses about how they're short staffed. I would not recommend this company, they do not communicate, and then they do not have the ability to provide service in a timely manner. I will not recommend or use them again.

My regular electrician gets booked weeks in advance, and I decided to try Dunman Electric to install a security camera with a floodlight. I sent them a picture of the completed project on another property. Becky said her company can complete this project and would try to match the price.

The security camera is white and installing it on a white box makes the most esthetic sense. The picture I sent to Becky clearly showed the camera installed on a white box.

Dunman electric chose to install the camera on a gray box which did not match either the wall or the camera. The gray box they installed looks ugly and unprofessional. They charged me 50% more than what was quoted by another electrician, but they offered to replace the gray box with a white one if I payed $99 more for another service visit.

I wish I read Yelp reviews about this company before I hired them.

So far, we paid them to come give us a quote. They charged us $99, but they never gave us the quote. I called after a month and they acted like they were surprised that we didn't receive the quote. They said they'd get right on it. That was two weeks ago. I'll be asking for our money back.

Unfortunately we did not have a good experience with this company. I first reached out to Dunman electric on 4/26. We were able to get them scheduled for an inspection on 5/3. The inspection was $225, and following this, our understanding was that they would provide an estimate for how much it would cost to complete our electrical repair - which was part of a large remodel. Rather than a list of needed repairs and estimated costs for labor and materials to complete them, this is (verbatim) what they gave us:

""Performed inspection of basement. Found several things that are not to code. Man had done a lot of things out of code. The only way Dunman electric will do this work is for Dunman electric to come in and treat it as if it were a new rough in and trim out. Any work that was performed by the customer will need to be removed and new put in. This is the only way we can feel confident to put on licence on this job. All framing will have to be up."" Based on this information alone, they were going to charge us over $6,000 to do the work.

Of note, they quoted us this $6,000+ price after the inspector that came out to the property verbally quoted us that the job would cost roughly $3600. We called and emailed over the month of May and into June, with the request to revise the quote to include a breakdown of costs for labor, materials, permit transfers, etc. They did not revise the document; at one point they said they would look into it, and then did not get back to us. I finally followed up by email. When they still did not respond, I waited a week and emailed again, this time requesting a refund for the inspection and stating that unfortunately I would need to write a negative review. Then, they wrote back, to refuse the refund of the inspection cost and tell me they had replied many times to my request. Unfortunately, this was not consistent with my experience, and truthfully their reply felt defensive in tone.

I can't speak to the quality of their work because we chose not to move forward with this company, but we would have appreciated improved clarity in communication on the front end.

Removed a faulty ceiling fan, and fixed another that had not been working. Pleasant, friendly, efficient, and reasonably priced. Will call again when I am ready to replace the first fan.

Installed the wrong cable, left a hole in my ceiling, and charged an extravagant price.
