Rafael did a wonderful job. very professional. sensitive to our financial situation. sincerely shows he is interested in our safety.
Description of Work: I needed 110 outlet placed in kitchen for conversion of electric to gas cooktop. He was able to put in the outlet we needed. I was so impressed with Rafael Romero I asked him to come back to check some light switches that were not working consistently. Rafael found we had aluminum wiring that was not safe. He replaced four switches that were obviously from the 1950's. He is going to come back to do a home safety evaluation next week.

Went so well. Plus Angel, the technician is polite, well mannered, and a good communicator, explaining to me about the proper installation of lights and wirings.
Description of Work: Installed lights at my driveway, side of the house and backyard. Opened up a new electrical conduit wiring from outlet located at my living room to outside concrete wall after which an electrical pipe was put into place and a motion sensor was installed. Excellent job and expertise performed by Angel of Dalcon Electric, Chestnut St., San Jose, CA. Angel made sure wirings were properly placed for safety thus avoid electrical hazard.

Carlos showed up at the agreed upon time and performed the work in less than the amount that was estimated. He had explained to me that the time estimate was an outside time estimate in order to have time to deal with any unanticipated work that almost always comes up when you do home projects. In this case everything went smoothly and the job was done faster than expected, which I appreciated. They cleaned up the work area and threw in some free caulking to cover the hole needed for the power cord. If you want a real pro to do the work, Carlos is your man, representing the Dalcon company as knowledgable, professional and courteous.
Description of Work: I hired Dalcon to install an electrical outlet for the porch area. Carlos Figueroa was sent to do the estimate. He was very professional, thorough, courteous and respectful of our property from the moment he showed up. He actually crawled into the attic to verify what would need to be done, unlike another contractor who eyeballed things from the outside and a third one who only asked for pictures. He explained to me Dalcon's pricing policy and work warranty. The price was about the same as one of the other contractors but Carlos' professionalism won Dalcon the work.

We originally contacted them because they were open on Sundays. As it turns out, it was a great decision. Carlos and his co-workers were very professional and friendly and explained everything to my mom. They did a great job, which is reason enough to hire them back. But, Carlos makes the experience even more positive. My mom was very impressed with him and Carlos treated her very well, taking time to explain things, and showing her what he was doing. We would definitely hire them again and would recommend them to anyone needing work done.
Description of Work: We had some problems with some lights not working. Carlos from Dalcon Electric came out to let us know that it was the wiring. He suggested some additional work to get everything up to code (the house is older). They replaced the panel, wiring, and some outlets.

Carlos showed up right on time, did an assessment of the electrical panel, tested all the circuit breakers (it wasn't clear which one(s) tripped since they all seemed OK), jiggled and tweaks the tripped circuit breakers inside and got them to reset. He then explained to me very clearly the issues with the panel (age, corrosion, deterioration, etc.) and suggested repair work. Since I'm only a tenant, I put him in touch with the homeowner.
Description of Work: Circuit breakers tripped but wouldn't reset. On a very hot Sunday afternoon, we lost power to part of the house. While other electricians would charge between $100 and $250 just to show up, Dalcon was willing to come for free the next morning.

They were professional, quick and took care of the job. They left the house cleaner than when they arrived. There is work that we are planning in the future and we have already spoken with them about it. It will be a while before we can get back to them, but we will definitely do that.
Description of Work: They had just done extensive electrical work here at the house. We were having the kitchen done and in the process, we discovered that we had more extensive work than we had planned on, and they helped us through that whole process. It was a long-term thing, they worked on various parts mostly in the kitchen area. I had recessed lighting put into 3 rooms and they had to rewire the kitchen. During that time, we discovered some previous problems with the electrical wiring under the kitchen that was improper, and probably even dangerous. They gave me an assessment for that and went ahead and completely redid it.

The person was very professional and explained the charges for what I thought the issue might be. It turned out to be a wire was disconnected and not a circuit breaker blown. He quickly set things right and adjusted some things. My only complaint is that although the estimated work was to be a bit complicated it turned out that it was a lot simpler than expected. The person could have adjusted the fee at least a little to reflect the minimal amount of work actually done. He didn't do that. I would think about using them again, but I may try another group based on the lack of even considering doing that even when asked.
Description of Work: A light bulb replacement caused a spark. I had replaced a light switch and then the light did not work. I thought that the circuit breaker might have gone out. I called to have things checked out to see what I might have done wrong.

The work was completed that same day. I thought the prices was very fair. Rafael was polite and professional. I would recommend Dalcon, and specifically Rafael.

Dalcon made service call, identified PG&E feed as impaired on one of the hot legs. They inspected all sub-panels and did thorough maintenance. They returned to the house when PG&E arrived and co-ordinated power off to service the main panel and then confirmed that new PG&E hookup was working. All OK now.

My circuit breaker needed to be replaced and I was in a bind given that Christmas dinner was coming up. In short, I was ripped off. Given the high reviews, I gave them a call and they said they charge a minimum fee of $80 for sending an electrician come over and diagnose any problems. I said fine, and the person arrived a few hours later. He asked if he could come in a sit down to discuss the options, and I already had a bad feeling since my sales senses were firing off. He then proceeded to do a full series of questions to what other problems I might have but in the end, he said that I would likely need to replace my entire breaker box which would cost about $6,000 since there was a small slightly melted plastic rail in my box. I was very skeptical, that this small piece couldn't be replaced since I've done a lot of electrical work myself in the past and most items are replaceable. Anyway, I opted for just the breaker to be replaced since that is the real problem and he wanted to charge around $310 for it. I was in a real bind given that we were trying to prep for a big dinner cooking session that night and so I asked him to clarify if that's the only price and that the other line items such as the minimum fee of $79 for showing up wouldn't be added in addition. He said no, the $310 was the only amount I needed to pay. Given that it was Christmas Eve and I didn't have time to look for other options or do shop around to do this myself, I said fine just go do it. 5 minutes later, he came back and said he was done and coyly wrote $400 to be charged to my credit card and I asked him ***, you should it would be $310 and he said oh no we needed to add the $79 min charge as well. At this point I was pretty livid and figured get out of my house and I'll be writing a bad review and just complain to your boss. The contract was written very clearly that it should be only $310 and that the $79 was a minimum spend, not an additional cost. I've called them 3 times already left messages, and even got someone on the line who said they would have a supervisor call me back. Haven't heard back from them. Overall, I would encourage everyone to NOT trust this company and call a more honest and reputable company to do business with that doesn't try to charge you $400 for 5 minutes worth of work for a $10 part, or worst try to sell you a $6,000 big job for something this small. I saw the same breaker @HomeDepot for $9.99. My only advice is to call and ask for rough quotes ahead of time in the future.

Response from Dalcon Electric
The customer called on Dec 23rd, the Friday before Christmas Eve because he heard sparking noises coming from his panel. At the time we were fully booked on our schedule, but due to the severity of his issue, we re-routed our technician to help. We told him there would be a standard fee and he agreed. Upon arrival our technician inspected the panel and it was his recommendation that the panel be replaced. He did not pressure the customer and instead offered a more affordable option of replacing only the breaker. Our technicians are trained to evaluate the entire situation and based on years of training and experience, to offer their best advice on the solution. We stand by our technicians recommendation that the panel needed replacement. We have seen far too many electrical problems addressed with the "quick fix" approach only to develop into larger more costly problems down the road. However, we always give the customer options and this customer chose to only replace the breaker. Your report of 5 mins later is a bit inaccurate as I show based on our vehicle GPS tracking, that our technician was at the address for well over an hour. In the end the breaker was replaced and the issue was temporarily resolved at the customers request. I apologize for the misunderstanding in regards to the service fee and I will work with our technicians and office staff to make sure we clarify that going forward. Also, due to the New Years Holiday we were out of the office and unable to respond to your calls until now. I appreciate your response as well as all comments good and bad as they help our company improve.

After a thorough examination of our home, Rey clearly explained the work he recommended and prioritized the areas that needed addressing first for safety reasons. Carlos and Angel were prompt, professional and a pleasure to have in our home. They kept us informed of progress and finished the job sooner than we thought it would take and cleaned up completely afterward. For future upgrades on our electrical system we plan on relying on Dalcon and this crew specifically again.
