Installers were professional in conduct, quickly assessed the best location for unit, covered the work area to protect furniture and other items, quickly finished the job and thoroughly cleaned up. Gave us a rundown on the operation. I will use this company for future electrical installations.

I needed power run to 5 rooms in my home so I could install ceiling fans before summer. Called DE and John was very helpful in helping me decide what needed to get done. His quotes were 10-20% less than the numbers I had in mind so there was no need to haggle. His crew came early and were very professional and knocked out the work in half the time I expected them to. They were very clean as well using plastic tarps and cleaning up after. They Also have a 20ft a-frame ladder to get high ceilings like mine which saves a lot of money and time not having to rent scaffolding and set it up!! Will DEFINITELY use them for future work!!!!

I was very impressed with Direct Electric and the whole house fans I had installed. They were very responsive and helpful on the phone. John did an excellent job of understanding my wants and needs. Once they arrived they even adjusted their original proposal once they arrived, saving me about $700. They went above and beyond, performing excellent work in no time at all, and even re-routed some wiring behind the drywall at no extra cost to me. I will be calling Direct Electric again.
Response from Direct Electric Company
"Hope you are enjoying your QuietCool whole house fans Will! As the weather heats up you will wonder how you ever lived without :) Glad you are happy with the service we provided. Thanks"

Quick friendly service. They were able to fix a "handymans" work without any problem. Plan on using them again for other lighting needs.

Justin and Jordan were very courteous and professional. Justin came back cheerfully and promptly to work in the rain to fix miswiring that caused some lights of the lights he installed not to work.
