D C Electrical Northwest Ltd reviewers often describe the electricians they dealt with as polite, professional and tidy. Several reviewers mention feeling safe with the electrician in their home and that care was taken with the property. Some reviewers say they would use the company again or recommend it, and one says the firm came out at short notice to make a smoke-producing extractor fan safe. One reviewer was happy overall but advises sourcing your own materials after being charged £302.40 for a hob they later found for £159 at Currys and £170 at Argos. Another reviewer says a £500 EICR report led to a £6,250 rewire recommendation that three independent electricians said was unnecessary, and reports receiving no breakdown when they asked for one.
Very personable, very friendly. We have an all female staff - I was the only one in to have some of our light fittings changed and felt safe with the electrician that came to help. I felt like it was reasonably priced too. :)
Another excellent job from these guys, replacing dodgy downlights and a CO alarm, have used them before on other work in the house. Whoever they send is polite, professional and do a good job. Highly recommend.
So professional and reliable. Really appreciate the time taken to properly scope and plan jobs and also the care taken when in my home. Will only ever use these guys and would highly recommend.
Gaynor was really helpful over the phone in understanding what I needed and arranging a visit at a suitable time. The service I received overall was fantastic, will be using their services again.
Just had some work done at home, reasonable price and very reliable, many thanks guys
I needed to remove and relocate 2 plug sockets during a refurbishment at home. They had used them a few years back and gave them a call. The estimate was actually a little over than the actual invoice which was a nice surprise. very satisfied with the work that was done. The workmen worked hard, and were very professional and pleasant ant tidied everything away on completion. I recommend them,
Excellent customer service right from start. The initial phone calls I spoke to a lovely lady Gaynor couple of times who managed to get me an appt the next day! Electrical engineer arrived, Kyle, what a lovely, polite guy, so helpful and explained everything, he went above and beyond. Ensured everything was clean, neat and tidy. I was surprised he carried on throughout the rain! Passionate about the service he delivered. Thank you 🙏
I can’t fault DC Electrical in any way My daughter in law recommended them to my daughter and my daughter recommended them to me. I had seen the work they had done on my daughters house and it was an easy decision to use them myself. Very professional, friendly,polite and very knowledgeable staff. It’s easy to decide to use DC Electrical
Overall I was happy with the service that I received from DC Electrical - the staff are friendly / polite and they were able to get an electrician out to fix my issue quickly. However... I would advise anyone who uses them in future to source your own materials! I was charged £302.40 for a hob which I subsequently realised I could have purchased from Currys for £159 or Argos for £170. Obviously this was my error for not shopping around, but I was very surprised (almost to the point of disbelief) to learn that the suppliers they use charge almost double what I could have sourced myself.
Would definitely recommend this company. I had to turn the electricity off due to smoke coming out of the extractor fan. Its difficult to get tradespeople at the moment but they came out in a few hours so I would have peace of mind about the fault by making it safe and making sure I could turn the supply on again. Very helpful and professional. Really helped me out at short notice and the price was more than reasonable too.
Excellent
Sadly after 15 years using this company we realised they were ripping us off. We paid £500 for a EICR report on our new home, the result they recommended a £6250 full rewire. We got 3 independent electricians to review the report and look at house and quote the works, all 3 said we didn't need a rewire at all, just a new consumer unit at cost of approx £1000. Works now complete and no surprises no rewire needed. Readings recorded on report completely wrong. Wish I had questioned all estimates and works for last 15 years now. Loyalty isn't rewarded. They itemised items on the report incorrectly to try to scare us into a full rewire, electricians we now know have guidelines on what to categorise things on these reports, they have ignored that completely. And the readings they gave were literally just wrong and in some cases impossible to have read. 3 independent electricians have told us this. We then asked for a breakdown and price of the essential work necessary to make the house safe and received nothing back from them.
Great service!!
I was referred to DC Electrical (Darryl) and his firm through my kitchen installer and can not rate Darryl's firm highly enough. He has been very responsive and won't leave the job until everyone is satisfied (including himself). There are not many tradesmen that make the effort to call (I was out of the UK) and send pictures to make sure that everything I had asked was done the way I wanted. Even when one LED spot light seemed never to work again, Darryl threw in a spare transformer for free - I can not recommend him highly enough and will use him again and again as new household renovation projects spring up!
