We chose them because of the online recommendations. We were very, very satisfied with them. They were quite good. They did an excellent job of dealing with the town.
Description of Work: They put in a new ground, brought the house up to code, inspected the house, and put in new lighting in the kitchen.

John Adams was excellent. A+ Personable. Trustworthy. Efficient. Knowledgeable. Well-experienced. On time. Performed diagnosis and intervention on the same day, partly in my absence. Later returned to give back key. Honored my Angie's list coupon. Told me how the ballasts had come to wear out so soon. At the end, showed me how to install overhead fan light w/out extra charge. I would ask for him by name next time. I've found my electrician!
Description of Work: John Adams diagnosed my under-cabinet kitchen lights (not working for 2 years). Found 3 of 4 required new ballasts; 4th was ok. Required lamp replacement. Procured the replacement ballasts; installed in my absence. All in the same day. Notable because other electrician said replacement ballasts could not be found. (Also helped replace a light in overhead fan.)

Hiyas Overall experience very positive! As an ex tradesman myself the work was excellent!
Description of Work: Hi, I had two security outside lights fail. Rey Flores arrived early. Very friendly and customer oriented. Rey got right to work and found the lighting fixtures defected. Both! I myself tried to repair thinking it was a simple problem, Rey said it’s the two units. Rey immediately procure two new units, set-up position and tested photo-cells for operation. They worked perfect! As soon as you drive in or walk near the house they come on. We signed a yearly contract getting a discount on the light fixtures and coverage inspection of our house electrical system within a year’s time. Lights are guaranteed! All’s well that ends well, thank you. John Lehner

I had a lot of work done by them. I spent around $1,000 on that work. He was extremely responsive and even if he could not at the time he said he would he would call and reschedule, so I really like him.
Description of Work: I used Dalcon Electric about 2 years ago and he fixed exterior and interior lighting, fixed interior individual outlets that weren’t working, fixed a garbage disposal and tuned up and did troubleshooting on exterior lights that went out.

The contractors that we had used originally were not very good. My interaction with Dalcon Electric was very good. I can speak highly about them. I would definitely recommend them to anybody. They were very professional too. It was a good deal for the money that I paid. I would definitely use their services in the future too.
Description of Work: We used the services of Dalcon Electric in April. They went through my whole house and checked all the electrical wiring and fixed a number of things which were not wired properly.

Very professional and John worked with us on a number of different options, budget constraints, etc. the team even rebuilt the pendant lights we had to use other existing hardware to get just the look we wanted. I'm so proud of our kitchen, if I could attach a picture to show it off, I would... Would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: John and his crew spent 5 + days at our house prior to our moving in, adding canister lights in several locations, under cabinet lighting in kitchen, new pendant lighting and switches, huge ceiling fan in the vaulted living room ceiling, ceiling fan and light in another room (with weird ceiling angles), etc. Always on time and cleaned up daily. Also had to work around other contractor teams for painters, flooring, carpenters, etc.

Wonderful. I called and reached John Adams at 8:00. He told me his schedule and gave me a call back time to determine when I should meet him. He called on time with an update; the current job was taking longer and he would call back with an update at a set time. Again he called right on time. He came; assessed the problem; went out to purchse the piece he needed. The entrie job was finished within an hour and 1/2. He was very courteous and polite. Price very reasonable. I would use Dalcon again.
Description of Work: Fixed an electrical outlet fixture which was old; the globe would not go on. I knew something ws wrong with the socket.

All of the work was done as expected and finished in less than a day. They were present when the city inspector checked the work and he did not require any changes.
Description of Work: We had a new tankless water heater installed and a recirculating pump that both needed an electrical connection. They installed a switch for the tankless so we can switch it off without pulling a plug out of the wall. They installed an outlet for the recirculating pump.

As mentioned above, things went well. I believe that the work done was necessary and that it is unlikely I would have solved the problem without John's help. I also think I understand the situation well enough to decide whether any further work is needed. I should also mention that I called Dalcon at about 10 AM and the response was in my experience very fast (John was here at 3 PM which was what I was told over the telephone.) John made every effort to see that things were done correctly, that I understood what was being done and why, and that the price was fair.
Description of Work: We had chronic trouble with a GFI outlet in our bathroom. Finally, a new GFI outlet I installed did not solve the problem . John Adams of Dalcon came over and went through the situation with me. John was friendly, thorough, and professional. My impression was that he understood well what he was doing. After completely checking the outlet and the junction box, he installed an outlet with a higher amperage rating. At present the problem is solved. There is a 90-day guarantee on the work done. John let me know what to check if any problem reoccurs.

John Adams carefully advised us on how to achieve what we wanted. He advised on how to do the work economically. He came when he said he would, and he completed the work to our great satisfaction. He and his partner also cleaned up carefully. Apart from the occasion of a death in his family, he was easy to reach, even at odd hours.

They were great. They were prompt and on time. The total price of the work done came up to be exactly same as their initial quote. They also helped me in coordinating with the contractors who did my solar work and helped me pull all my permits in the city and got that done for me and kept me in the loop the whole time. They were excellent. There was only one small glitch which was taken care of and which they owed up completely. They lost my final payment-check but they called me up immediately and found it eventually, then returned it to me so that I can void it. They had a file with a lot of paper work and so I completely understand the error that happened. I was so pleased with their work and their follow up. I would totally recommend them.
Description of Work: They installed a new hood vent, an electrical panel that needed to be done for solar work, a new ceiling fan with light fixture and also fixed two other electrical outlets in the house.

Overall, John was wonderful. He showed me the breaker and where it had slowly been melting. The previous owners of the house, when they remodeled the master bedroom had put all the lights in the master bedroom, the walk-in closet, the bathroom (including the Jacuzzi tub) and all the outlets in entire the room, plus the outside on one breaker. This was more current than that breaker can handle! He quoted us a price for rewiring the master bath on a separate circuit, which we will do, once we pay off the deck repair (we can't fall through the deck). So, now that we know what is on the circuit breaker, we will be VERY CAREFUL about what is turned on in those rooms at the same time. John was great, not only in taking the time to check what was on the breaker, but in telling us what could be done to remedy the problem in the future.
Description of Work: I called the company early in the afternoon because we lost power in the master bedroom and some outlets outside. We were also having repair work done on the deck outside. John Adams answered the phone and said that he was very busy that day, but he would be there between 4:00 P.M. and 5:00 P.M. He showed up close to 5:00 P.M. Once he found the problem, of course he didn't have the correct breaker with him. So he went out and bought a new one and to replace the old one. Its been a few weeks since this happened, so my price estimate may be off.

The only bad news is that the work went a bit slower than I would have liked. Luckily, my Dad is retired and could stay at my place during the work. All of the new lights and the ceiling fan look and work great. I'm very pleased with the quality of the work and will be calling on Dalcon for any future electrical work I need done.
Description of Work: I had my whole house rewired due to some problems with the original wiring. This included a complete replacement of the main panel and fuses. In addition to the rewire, I had them: 1) install a ceiling fan 2) redo the lighting in both bathrooms, 3) add lights to the garage 4) add connections for an AC unit.

I asked for an estimate for miscellaneous items of work in my house. The estimate guy did come out promptly. However, it took several weeks, a couple of phone calls/emails and we finally got an estimate of over $2,000 for the work. About a month later my husband and I decided that we would like to go forward with the work but wanted to have Dalcon revise the estimate after removing two of the items of work. I emailed our contact at Dalcon with this request. Unfortunately, despite repeated emails to the contractor, I got no response back. I did leave messages with on his voice mail and another message at the contractor's voice mail as well. Several months later, my husband said he did get a telephone call and that I was supposed to send out another email to a different email address. But basically, Dalcon dropped the ball on this job for us and I am looking at another electrician at this point.

John Adams of Dalcon Electric, made us very comfortable with his low key demeanor and quality of experience. In addition to him working in our kitchen and laundry room area we had him redo some outside lighting work. DALCON Electric is our electrical team. Lastly, as a insurance agent we will recommend DALCON Electric to all of our clients in need of electrical services.
Description of Work: We were having system overloads with the electrical going dead. We could not get the electric to come back on so we looked for an electrician on Angie's List and called several electricians, John Adams of DALCON Electric was quick to call us back. He came out to our home, assessed the situation, got our electricity back on and recommended corrections to electrical outlets which made them safer.

They arrived right on time. John and 2 others walked through the house with me, conferring on exactly what I wanted done. They all were very polite, knowledgeable and professional. I did have to call them back 2 times. The first time they didn't get back to me for several weeks but after that they bent over backward to respond immediately and get everything taken care of.

Having just moved into a new rental house, the landlord allowed us to ground some of the outlets in the house because of some electrical equipment we'd wanted to protect. After talking to two other companies, I called Dalcon. I was hesitant only because of the costs quoted on Angie's List. John, our contact, came out and answered all my questions and then quoted me a price that was the cheapest of the three, as well as the shortest work time of one day. On the day of the work, the two employees (and I'm forgetting their names, but they were great) installed and fixed everything in the span of one day. When they found the exposed wire and the floating outlet box, they fixed both of them at minimal cost. When they were working on the outlet to the garbage disposal, they forgot to add the switch back in the loop, but came back two days later to fix that quickly. All in all, it was a great experience.
Description of Work: 1) Provided and installed 15 grounding circuits. 2) Provided and installed 5 GFCI outlets. 3) Corrected the reverse polarity on one outlet. 4) Checked and fixes an exterior outlet with a GFCI. 5) Fixed a box that was floating in the wall. 6) Sheathed exposed wiring in metal for protection.
