Recommended Customer Reviews
Dale D.Check this guy! We had two contractors tell us we needed many thousands of dollars worth of work. Dale was honest and straight forward and let us know about how the electrical contractor game is played. He fixed our problem and it's ben great ever since. Thank you and a 5 star review
Stephanie D.As I was decorating for Christmas in my dining room I heard a crackling and popping from TV room. Lights went out in both rooms. Upon investigation i could smell burning coming from the switch in the TV room.Husband would not be home till much later and it smelled like the house was catching on fire. I called a friend who opened up the switch box and we could see there was damage and melting to the wires(no ongoing fire ) After calling many electricians in a panic Dale answered and came over immediately after he finished the job he was at.
He put me at rest that this happens very often and he got to work and had lighting in both rooms back within a few hours. His price was great.He is our new go to guy for any electrical problems ( we have a few that he will be fixing in the New Year)
Thank you Dale at EMD Electrical for putting me at ease that the house was safe from burning, for fixing the situation and for the expediency.
You saved Christmas!!!!!
Mary L.I had a bathroom light that stopped working. I replaced the fixture and switch, but still no light. After a bit of research, I called EMD. Dale was able to come out and look things the next day. He showed up on time, and it took him less than an hour to diagnose the issue and fix it. He was competent and friendly. He'll be my first choice next time around.
Marty J.We have used this company previously, and this last time was the final time - terrible work ethic, terrible service and terrible attitude.
Dale was very friendly, polite, knowledgeable and timely. He quickly solved my problem while instructing me how to identify the issue in the future.
I made sure to get his business card, so I can give him my business whenever the need rises again.
Sharon G.My parents had an issue with their furnace and I called Dale first thing Monday morning to see if he could find time to stop by the same day. He said he would fit them in sometime in the early afternoon, and he didn't disappoint. My parents were very pleased with his service and demeanor. They are not always the easiest to please so that is saying a lot. I will definitely use Dale's services again and highly recommend him.
Donna D.Could not be more pleased with Dale and the great job he did. Since our home is fairly new we have little experience fixing things and are always in dire straits when things go wrong. I thank the other Yelpers who posted reviews so that I found EMD.
Called early this AM, before his work hours and he answered personally to walk through my issues which included a broken smoke detector which was driving us crazy. Since he was coming out I figured I should address my problems with the bathroom lights constantly needing reset. He quoted me a ballpark over the phone and we went from there.
He showed up later that morning and confidently fixed everything. He was extremely patient explaining what my options were and why things were not working. We tested each fix thoroughly and now I am a very happy camper. i paid him what he quoted and it could not have been easier. No crazy beeping and light switches that work.
I wish we had addressed this sooner. At least now I have an Electrician to call on. It's a very good thing.
Chris K.Whomever is looking for an electrician in South Orange County should consider using this business. I called in the morning to check availability to disconnect existing office cubicle wiring. I left a message on voicemail but received a call back within minutes. Electrician met me within a few hours, disconnected electrical and charged a very reasonable price. I highly recommend this business.
Sandy T.Dale was amazing. I would recommend him to all my friends and family. He came to my house on time. He even taught me how to fix my wall plug issue. Very honest person. He was super reasonable for labor and parts. Definitely will call him up again if I have any electric issues around the house (:
We had another electrician wire for a machine that was coming in on a Monday morning. Well the cable ended up being 5"" too short and we had to have it fixed asap because the installer came from out of town.
Our electrician wouldn't answer his phone so we started calling around looking for an electrician. After calling 4 electricians and no answer Dale finally answered.
We told him our dilemma, he had an appointment coming up but said he could come take a look real quick. He came over right away, saw what we needed, took off to the cable place, brought back the cable, wired it and we were up and running!
I highly recommend Dale, very easy to work with, GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!
