I recently had the pleasure of working with Delcollo Electric, specifically with the talented team of Darrell, Jyair, and Jack. We needed a new Tesla EV charger installed for our recently acquired electric car, and I couldn't be more pleased with the exceptional service they provided. Right from the start, their professionalism and attention to detail were evident. Before beginning the installation, they took the time to thoroughly explain the process, ensuring that I was well-informed about the work they were about to undertake. This transparency immediately instilled confidence in their expertise. The actual installation work was nothing short of pristine. Darrell, Jyair, and Jack displayed a remarkable level of skill and precision throughout the entire process. They worked efficiently and accurately, showcasing their proficiency in handling electrical projects. I was particularly impressed with their commitment to maintaining a clean and organized work environment, both inside and outside my property. What sets Delcollo Electric apart is not only the quality of their work but also their respect for the customer and their property. It was evident that they treated my home with care, leaving no mess behind and taking the necessary precautions to ensure the safety of the surroundings. In addition to their technical competence, the team exhibited excellent communication skills. They were patient in answering my questions, addressing any concerns I had, and providing valuable insights into the optimal functioning of the newly installed EV charger. Overall, my experience with Delcollo Electric was outstanding, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services. The combination of their expertise, professionalism, and genuine respect for the customer make them a standout choice for any electrical project. I am extremely satisfied with the new Tesla EV charger installation, and without a doubt, I will be reaching out to Delcollo Electric for any future electrical needs. Thank you, Darrell, Jyair, and Jack, for a job well done!

After searching for an electrician on a snowy Friday afternoon and finding the best appointment looked like a maybe Monday. I was lucky to find Delcollo with someone available. I do not care if this was luck, the work was fast and well done and I am forever grateful.

Dellcollo Electric is the only electrician I would call; they are prompt, efficient and professional. I had fixtures and faulty switches replaces, and they were happy to explain everything to me. They do not waste time or your money, making Delcollo a trusted, cost effective choice for home electrical repair. I feel safer knowing the job was done right.

The two Dal Callo electricians arrived early and immediately got down to business. Some what to my relief, it took some to unravel the "Creature" manner in which the trouble some switch had been wired; one they did, they replaced the old wires & brought things up to code. We're relieved and very pleased.
Description of Work: In the course of remodeling the kitchen of our 1928 built home, we discovered some electrical issues. Some of the I was able to resolve; however, I could not figure out the connections for a three way switch for the exterior lights. After 3 unsuccessful attempts; I checked Angie's list and sought ask for help.

I called provider and agreed to a time and date. The provider called five minutes later and requested a different time and date, which I agreed to. I waited four hours for the provider to show up. When I called them, they said they had me scheduled for the original time and date and not the alternate time and date. The provider called back and wanted to set up a different time, but if they can't keep a simple appointment how can I trust their electric work.
Description of Work: The provider failed to show for the scheduled appointment

Response from Delcollo Electric
Mr. [Member name removed] I am sorry for you inconvenience, we do try very hard to schedule work that fits our customers needs. Sometime things happen that are out of our control. An electrician typically leaves with several service call tickets in the morning, we have to use our best judgment on how long each service call will take. Sometimes it take longer and sometimes shorter than anticipated to find and repair an electrical issue and that will cause the days planned schedule to not go as planned. We have discussed this's in our office and are working on a solution that would be equitable to both parties. Thank you for your comments as it helps us improve our service . Dan Delcollo

Terrible, an utter nightmare.? I had never been sued before and the amount in controversy was trivial.? The suit was petty, vexatious and mean-spirited.? The company is cannot be trusted.
Description of Work: Provider gave a quoted price, did the job and doubled the price the pre-quoted price. When I complained that it was in excess of the quoted price, Delcollo sued me for the difference, which was lesss than $100. The suit affected my credit but the credit reporting agency agreed with me and removed it. Delcollo came to the house to do a chandelier job and forgot to bring a ladder which was a basic requirement to do a job of this nature.

(removed member name) this work was actually complete in 2001 and you are still upset 14 years later to give us a poor grade. The facts are you are an attorney and thought you didn't have to pay us for services rendered. We did have to take you to court for 300.00 it was the principal and not the money. We had our day in court and the Judge agreed with us and ordered you to pay us. So instead of agreeing that you may have been wrong you decided to go on line even 14 years later and say bad things about us. I'm sorry you feel that way, We have been in business 40 years and we work hard every day to do a good job at a fair price

We had an appointment for a free estimate one time, he didn't show up. He apologized. He was late the next time. The quote was way higher than the other electrians, almost double. He was talking like he had to rewire my whole circuit breaker box to install a special kind of breaker for the new outlets. There was space for 4 regular breakers. I don't know why a special breaker had to be installed. I went with a company who guaranteed that they wouldn't go over the quoted price and charges less if the job took less time. They installed breakers that were exactly the same as the breakers I have installed in my breaker box.
Description of Work: Provided a free estimate for 5 new outlets. Three indoors and two outdoors.

Hi [Member name removed] I would check with the local electrical inspection agency, as the code says all new receptacles indoor and outdoor must be either on a ground fault or arc fault breaker or device, they are very expensive and are not the same breakers that are in your existing panel. this could be why our cost was more. We thank you for the opportunity Dan Delcollo

Putting in the transformer was fine and the price was fair. We thought maybe the GFI tripped the fuse on the sauna, but he could not fix the issue. He did spend some time here looking and testing it out, but he could not get it to heat up. He was honest enough to tell me before coming out that he did not know much about saunas. He did install a new GFI, it worked temporarily, but then would stop. Everyone was courteous and nice, but they just could not get this problem fixed.
Description of Work: They had to replace a transformer and took a look at the sauna, as it was not heating.

This is the second time I've used Delcollo Electric, Inc. services. The workmen were on time, prepared to do the work, completed the job in a professional manner, asked questions about specifics, inspected the finished work with me, and cleaned up after themselves. Their work is high quality, done with care, and at a fair price. I would recommend Delcollo to anyone needing household electrical work done.

8AM appointment, they arrived 1 hour late (a little after 9 o'clock). At 8:25, I called the office, and the operator was not particularly nice and especially not apologetic. She said the appointment was at 8:30, but they were running 20 minutes late, with no explanation. Surprising they were so late considering this was the first appointment of they day. Guys were nice. One guy was being trained, and was supervised the entire time. The service took 15 minutes. Pricing: $275 was the quoted price. Service took 15 minutes. I couldn't believe they would charge so much for a 15 minute service.

Delcollo electricians are prompt, courteous, and professional. They fully explained what they were going to do and were willing to change some things for me at the last minute, including adding an additional fan to another room. They were very clean, neat and efficient, and never complained about crawling into the attic space to run wires on one of the hottest days of the year! I think that the pricing was fair, and by the hour (plus a few additional parts). They worked steadily without breaks until the job was completed, so I felt like I really got what I paid for. I would use them again without reservation.
Description of Work: Installed 4 new ceiling fans where there were no outlets/electric, revised wiring to plugs and switches.

The estimator was personable. I asked him who would be sent out (checking on their experience and things). He gave me the name of a person. The person who came out was not the person the estimator indicated would be coming out. The helper who worked with the electrician was great and a hard worker. The electrician who came out was slow moving, a chauvenist, a know it all. He charged me for more time than he was supposed to. He did not fix one of the safety issue. He saved that issue (flickering light in guestroom - a concern due to aluminum wiring) for the end of the day and then seemed not to want to deal with it. He then said something about it being the switch, which he replaced. He also told me to replace the light bulb. Those were not the problems. A couple of days later, I saw sparks flying out of an outlet in that room. My house could have caught fire if the spark had caught my curtains (with my kids upstairs!). I called a different electrician, Gentle Ben. They came out and fixed the problem. On 8/16/09, after the Delcollo Electrician left, I looked at the bill closely and saw that he charged me for about 45 more minutes than he should have. I called the estimator and spoke with him about this. He said he'd talk to the electrician and call me back. He never did, presumably because I'd already paid the bill with a check and signed their "work performed" form.
Description of Work: I had a list of items that needed attention (replace attic fan due to smoke detector going off / flickering lights in guestroom (a concern due to aluminum wiring) / adding outlets / issues with outlets / switches etc.). I went over the list with the electrician at the beginning of the job (and the estimator prior to the electrian coming out), indicating that I wanted the safety items addressed first and the "comfort" items addressed after the safety items.
