I had Dan come out for a minor electrical issue. He was able to come out same day and fix the issue I had. His price was reasonable and had clear communication.

We wanted additional outlets into our restrooms and set out on the wondrous journey of getting quotes and searching for the right person to do the job. A few quotes in from other electricians and we were able to finally get Dan to come by to do our quote. Dan has vast knowledge and was able to explain why he would be able to do our project correctly and save us thousands. Dan was punctual with the appointment and did a very clean install for us, perfect for what our needs were. Dan was considerate, efficient and professional. We could not have asked for more. Thanks Dan for the great work, we will continue to use you and spread the good word for all of our electrical household needs!

I reached out requesting assistance with replacing a light fixture and repairing an under the kitchen cabinet light. Dan recommended replacing all the under the cabinet lights with LED due to chronic issues with under the cabinet lights. I purchased the LED lights and Dan came out and replaced all 3 lights and installed the new light fixture. $250 minimum for 2 hours of work. Dan did it all within 2 hours. I would recommend Dan and will be contacting him again for any future needs.

This company is great! I have used them for two projects - EV charge installation and repairing my refrigerator fuse.  Dan was great both times the work turned out really well and he was reasonably priced.  I will definitely continue to use him for any electrical issues.

We bought our first home in July and have been wanting to update the chandeliers. Found Dan Matthews electric on Yelp, read through the reviews and contacted him. Dan was prompt and did great work! We love our new lights!! We will need to replace some ceiling fans in the future and will definitely be calling again!

Thank you guys so much!

Thank you, Dan! Not only did he respond promptly to our arc'ing circuit breaker issue, Dan identified some loose connections in the breaker panel, did some reconfiguration, and made sure all was well before leaving. Great communication via text around arrival times and general updates (there's a bad joke in there somewhere about not being left in dark regarding his whereabouts...). Anyway, besides his reasonable rates, Dan Matthews Electric is another example of why you should support your local business. Not too often you can call someone and get if fixed same day (at least in my case). A++.

Dan came out to do two small projects for us. One was the installation of 4 outlets in our outdoor kitchen island (still a frame), and an additional outlet along a wall in the backyard. All 5 outlets were installed to code (GFCI, covers, etc.). One was not quite in the position I wanted, which was my fault for not being explicit. He came back on another day and moved it to the place I wanted without any issue!

He also installed a new outlet in our kids' bathroom. Took him about an hour and the result is clean and professional.

I recommend Dan for your electrical needs.

Dan has done two projects for me. He replaced a light fixture on my front porch and today he replaced five malfunctioning Wemo switches around my house. Both times he was easy to get in touch with and responded quickly. Today he texted me to let me know he had an unexpected opening, so I was able to get my job done a week early and in under one hour! He is very knowledgeable and experienced and just a nice guy! Give him a call, you won't regret it!

Dan came out and installed a new ceiling fan box and ceiling fan for us replacing a light fixture and box that wasn't rated for a ceiling fan. He communicated up front his expectations on the timing and price including materials and made an adjustment during the installation for parts not needed off the price. Dan is clearly experienced, professional, observant, and courteous. If you're in need of electrical installation work done I highly recommend his services.

Dan installed an EV charger for us. He helped us figure out the best place to put it, installed it for a very fair price, got the work done quickly, and was a great communicator throughout the process. He did great work and it came out looking really nice and clean. Highly recommend Dan, and will definitely choose him again for our next project.

Well what can I say Dan was an absolute pleasure to work with. Arrived on time and pulled nothing back. Very upfront and honest love the results. He installed two Ring cameras both of which were placed with no pre-existing floodlight connections. Power was Tun off of existing power blocks. Made sure I understood his intentions prior to install so I would not be caught off guard. Minor hiccup but he caught it in time and came right back out the next day to make things right. Wonderful work attitude and will definitely be looking to him for future work. Thanks again Dan. Look to Dan Matthews for your electric needs great work at a fair price.

Dan is awesome! He is sincere and extremely helpful.

I decided to do a retrofit project on my own and was under the impression that I had done something wrong. I called Dan and explained the situation. He understood everything right away.

I had some specific concerns about particular aspects of what I had done, but he assured me that although I may have taken a more complicated approach to do the job, I was in good shape and didn't need to worry.  

I am so glad I called Dan! He saved me so much time and headache. I would highly recommend him.

No wonder Dan has 5 stars!  I can backup the other reviews.  Dan answers his phone, comes over right away and can schedule the job super quick. I needed him to install 10 Leviton Wifi switches for my kids room because well, kids don't know how to turn off lights and rolling blackouts are so not fun in California.  

I ordered all the switches from Amazon and checked them all before Dan came over. He got to work right away and it took him a little longer than anticipated because I didn't have a neutral wire for the switches.  Towards the end of the project we realized that Amazon put the wrong switch in the wrong box (must have been a return) and I couldn't hook the switch up to the app.  Dan felt so bad he tried to stay and take it out and put the old one back, free of charge, but the switch works I just cannot link to our Wifi and app.  This is an Amazon problem.  

Dan's work was so great!  I am super weird about my paint.  Some electricians I have to repaint a wall when they are done, but Dan's work was so clean and he lined up the wall plates and the screw lines perfectly and cleaned up after himself.  Will definitely be calling him again for future projects.  Also love he is local!

We were extremely pleased with the entire process working with Dan Matthews Electric. From first contact to completion Dan is a consummate professional. We needed to replace light fixtures in our family room and entryway and have a new light installed in our dining room. Dan and his son took great care to minimize the dust and debris when working through the sheetrock and creating a new mounting fixture and modifying the existing switch outlet. The entryway light needed to be relocated which required the installation of a new support bar for the heavier new light. While installing the new light switch Dan discovered that the dimmer function for our kitchen lights was wired incorrectly. He quickly fixed that problem as well despite not being within the original scope of the quote. The finished job looks amazing, the price was fair, and we will definitely be contacting Dan for any future electrical work we encounter.

Dan did a great job. He is very reasonably priced. We had 8 outdoor lights replaced the final one proved a challenge due to the old light fitting  positioning. Dan fixed the problem and the result is perfect. I'd highly recommend him!

Dan was on time, professional, (even started to remove his shoes when he saw we didn't wear shoes in house) and finished in timely manner.  Would hire again!  Will most likely be calling him to install some more lights and fans.

We were looking to convert our aging, broken glass cooktop to a gas range. The electrical was setup for 220.
I had gotten 2 previous quotes for the job with ridiculously high estimates.
Dan gave me an estimate via yelp and was confident throughout the process.
Converted the breaker and outlet box with all nessecary parts on hand, in less than 2 hours.
Dan is a consumate professional and pleasant to work with.
Dan made a stressful process easy and got our kitchen back on track in one easy job.
We highly recommend his skills for any and all electrician needs you may have.
5 stars...!

I stumbled upon some electrical issues when i was trying to replace a fountain pump and emailed three companies. Dan was the only one who called back. We originally set up an appointment without scheduling the time of day. When i tried to contact him later about a time, i was worried because i did not receive a reply. I found out later he wasn't well and so that one gets a pass. . .

He is Covid-safe, is professional, diagnosed the problem, installed a GFI and made a couple more recommendations about my options for the circuit in question. I asked if i could tag along behind him so i could learn and he had no problem with this.

Then we went up in the attic where i had some Romex cable that was poorly routed. He quickly fixed this, making sure everything was done professionally (keeping the new junction box in an out of the way location, routing the new cable and securing it, etc.). He does good work.

The price was a bit higher than others i had contacted but for the service, I'll take that any day. Thanks Dan!

Dan recently installed two Goal Zero home integration kits to work with my main breaker box.
These two home integration kits allow me to safely switch a total of 8 circuits from my main breaker box to Goal Zero battery power.

Dan did a great job. Very neat installation, very professional.
Communication prior to the job was great.
Dan arrived on time and worked very efficiently while keeping my power on until the last 30 minutes or so of the install.

I feel that I am now prepared for any surprise power outages 2021 and the future years will bring.

I will definitely call Dan again when I need any electrical work done.

Dan and his staff installed multiple LED lights across our kitchen, dining, and family room.  He retrofitted 6 florescent can lights in the kitchen to match the new lights placed in the family and dining room.  Dan and staff were clean, arrived on time, and wore a mask as requested.

Our story! It started with a electrical power problem in the back of the house that shut the power off to one of the bedrooms and another bedroom that share the same wall. I checked the breakers in the house and none of the breakers were tripped, so the power problem was directly in those rooms. I researched on the Internet and found Dan Matthews electric, and contacted this company. From the very beginning when I made contact with Dan  (the owner) the service was exceptional and superior.
I made an appointment and Dan arrived to my residence promptly and on time.  He immediately researched and discovered where the problem was and was able to tackle and handle the issue. Dan's work was very professional and he was very meticulous on making sure that everything was corrected and done the right way. I am very satisfied with this business and I highly recommend this electrician to anybody that has a residential electrical problem. I know I'll be keeping Dan's number. Thank you  Dan Matthews electrical. This is a awesome Business. Fair and great prices.

Dan and his grandson did an amazing job installing several recessed canisters around the home. They are quick, efficient and take the time to do the job right. Before they left, they cleaned everything up.. looked better than when they arrived.
I will go to Dan with all of my future electrical needs.

Anyhow, last year Dan helped out with mounting tvs, installing light fixtures, and fixing a ceiling fan.  He was very punctual, courteous of my schedule (I told you I'm BUSY), and was able to get all the work done a timely manner.  Bay Area folks who need electrical work done, reach out to Dan.  He'll treat ya right -

Smoke alarms chirped frequently because they were over 10 years old.  Alarms were hardwired into electrical system.  I was unable to identify power source in electrical box.  I telephoned a highly recommended local electrician for help a couple of times, but never received a return call

I found Dan on Google.  He arrived next day and within a college of hours replaced all 10 alarms with alarms I had purchased at Costco.  He also hooked up my Ring doorbell.

Efficient, pleasant, prompt, professional, clean service.
Cost was reasonable.

Love to work with Dan on my home projects. He installed the charging outlet in our garage in a timely manner and simplistic style, so we followed up with a request to add ceiling lights in multiple rooms. Dan brought his grandson to help with installing the lights during the weekend without extra charge and we greatly appreciate the final results. If I have any future electrical needs, Dan would be my No.1 number to call.

Dan Matthews was great! The work I needed was done in a timely matter. I needed my ADT uninstalled as ADT will not remove it, only restart your service. He also installed RING products: new floodlights and doorbell. He is very knowledgeable, clean and attentive to detail. Will definitely continue to contact for future home projects and review each job.

After several unreturned calls from other electricians, I headed to Yelp to look for someone reliable.  I found that reliable electrician in Dan. He returned my message within the hour and I was on his schedule in a day.  He is knowledgeable, professional, and very reasonably priced.  He came to fix two outlets, but helped us with much more.  He will be our electrician in the future.  I highly recommend him.

Dan has helped us to fix our track light. He has patiently tested the entire light fixture for the cause of the issue and after finding it, he explained the problem to us in plain English. We are so thankful that our lights are on again, but fixing it is no simple task as it is not installed in a convenient location to access in the kitchen. Dan is highly recommended.

He installed a 220V circuit and car charger for us. Excellent Service and Cost from Dan Matthews Electric. He returned my call within 30 minutes, was in the area and stopped by 15 minutes later to give us a quote. We agreed upon a date at that time. He finished the project within time frame and budget. DM Electric pricing was significantly under all other electricians we asked for quotes. Will have him back for any future electrical projects.

Dan was great.  He installed a 220V circuit and car charger for me.  The circuit install was straightforward and done quickly.  The charger came later and due to a vagary of my house's design, the charger didn't fit as is but Dan made some additional modifications which allowed it to be installed without compromise.
