    Shaun was great. Replaced our fuse box and installed a smart meter. He was a pleasure to deal with and took the time to explain everything to us. Very happy with the job DM Electrical did.

    We had a power outage across half our office and couldn't find the issue. DM sent an experienced electrician who solved it within 20 minutes. Extremely professional, clean and efficient. We can't recommend Dan and the team highly enough.
