What an incredible electrical contractor! I will use D.S. Burkholder for all my future electrical work and highly recommend them! They did an excellent job with a new light/fan installation - prompt, fast, professional and affordable. And then were even more amazing with another job that required investigating what was tripping the breakers in an apartment and how/whether to upgrade the network to avoid future issues - they investigated the issue, educated my tenants, and didn't even take payment for their time. What incredible professionalism and impressive customer service!! Highly recommended.
Richard was a great help! Before having him come out we tried to fix some wiring issues over video call. He walked us through some options and we were able to figure out the issue pretty quickly! We had been having this issue for a while and we were really happy that he could help us resolve it! Thanks again Richard!

Had them come to replace 50 year old outlets and switches. We're very quick to respond and very quick to schedule the work. Did a fantastic job at a fair price.
Terry and Mike did an amazing job changing my 20 feet high chandelier and installing some more lights in our newly purchased house. They provided me the quote before starting the work so that there were no surprises. I did also get a quote for a remodel which was delivered on time, which I appreciate a lot. Thank you!

Mike called ahead to make sure it was ok to arrive earlier than planned. He was really nice and luckily the issue was just a tripped breaker. Richard had called me before setting up my appt and had tried to troubleshoot with me over the phone. Our breaker box is old and apparently mislabeled, so had I known what a tripped breaker looked like I would have realized it was a different one. Haha!!! Mike showed me which breaker was tripped and how to reset it and then checked to make sure power was back on in the room that lost it. He also showed me why my space heater tripped it and how to prevent that in the future. While I hope to not have a lot of electrical issues, I am absolutely calling DS Burkholder again if I need help!
