I forgot to write this review sooner. I had too much load on a Circuit Breaker which it would trip. I wanted to put the microwave on a new Circuit Breaker. I contacted Dalcon and they sent a weasel technician who first started showing a booklet about his degree and how good he is. Then he started bullshitting and then recommending that the best option is to replace the electrical panel and all the Circuit Breakers for $2525.47. Surely I knew that my house is 20 years old and it does not need a new electrical panel and this crook is trying to rip me off. Later that week I called another company with good reviews. They came by and gave me an estimate of $450. Within 2 hours they got a new Circuit Breaker installed in electrical panel with new wiring to the microwave which is working perfectly for a while now. read more

I hired Dalcon to do a range of projects at our house ranging from trivial (replace an outside flood fixture) to major (replace the electric panel). David Lee was very detailed in his estimate, and provided recommendations for the projects we were considering. Dalcon was a bit higher than the other bids I received, but they were willing to match the other bids. David and his team started the work within two weeks of accepting their bid, and completed it faster than they promised. They showed up when they said they would be here, did good quality work (everything worked the first time), and cleaned up after themselves. Very professional, courteous, and trustworthy. I'd definitely hire them again. read more

I hired Dalcon to do major electrical work in my garage. They installed recess lighting, dimmers, 220 outlet, gfi outlets, motion detector lights, upgrade of panel, major, major work. Yes, they ran into some trouble and they were very upfront about the cost and the options. They gave me 1,2,3 options and were thorough in their explanations. The work was done neatly, efficiently, and thoroughly. Billy was the epitome of old school customer service. He is personable, hard-working, and truly cares about his trade. I referred to him as high maintenance because he wanted the screws on the face plates to all be pointing straight up and down. He looks like a member of ZZ Top, but don't let that scare you, he is the type of person and worker you wish everyone was coming to your house. I couldn't be happier with the service and the completed work. Highly recommend. read more

It's my first time using Yelp for this type of service. I wanted to install some lights in my home, and their website showed they do offer this type of service. I was pleasantly surprised by how professional and friendly they were. I'd definitely return if I'm in need of any other electrical work. read more

My home was built in the 30's, so I had to remove the old knob-in-tube wiring and update my electrical to meet today's standards. From start to finish, I couldn't have been more pleased with my experience with Dalcon Electric. Rafael, Jack, and Christian were all very professional, timely, and responsive. I would highly recommend this company. read more

I called them as recommended from Angie's List. I asked for a estimate for a minor electric issue. I read the reviews and was hoping for the best. I was not given an estimate over the phone. If I would have gotten at least an estimate I would have told them not to bother. To my shock, the job I requested would take no more that 15 minutes, as it was to change a motion light. I was told it would cost $250! The part only cost me $20. I was then told off hand with Dalcon I could get it done for $100. I said NO THANK YOU! They might be a good company, but I would not know nor would I recommend them. read more

The electrician show up on time. Check out the problem and change the broken breaker.

Dan Demaree came out to my mother's home and did some electrical work. showed up on time, gave me very clear expectations of the work, time required to do it and the cost right up front. His work was clean and he did it with a great attitude. Thank you Dan for a great experience! -Mark read more

Carlos, Enrique and Christian did an amazing job rewiring one of my rooms. They didn't make any holes in the walls, which was really appreciated. Carlos went above and beyond to ensure I was happy and left my house very clean. I would definitely hire this team again! read more

Two stars because they showed up on time and were courteous, and I always appreciate that. I don't think they were upfront with the total price. The repairs needed and done were not difficult or time consuming and the few parts not expensive. Total bill was over $700. Definitely excessive! read more

Our GFI went out and needed to be replaced. This is the second time I have called them and they provided great service both times. They called when they were on their way over within the 2 hour window that was provided, found the problem and made the repair. They cleaned up and were genuinely nice people. Awesome customer service, I would highly recommend them. read more

I had a problem with my light switch and scheduled an appointment with another company for the following week. On the morning of my appointment, that company called me to inform me my appointment was being cancelled because their technician had a personal issue. I found this very unprofessional because they should have sent a substitute. So they referred me to Dalcon Electric instead. I called Dalcon, and fortunately, they had an opening on the very same day at 3pm. I was elated because I couldn't wait another week. However, it gets better. I get a call from Dalcon a few minutes later, and they said their technician could arrive earlier at 11am. I said great! The technician arrived on time. His name was Carlos F. He quickly diagnosed my problem, gave me an estimate, and promptly fixed my problem. He was very courteous and professional, and ensured that I was fully satisfied. I told him I was quite satisfied with his work. Then I asked him to look at a problem I had with an outlet. He gladly took a look at it and told me what the problem was. I decided to have it fixed at another time. However, he did not charge me for the extra time he spent on it. I would not hesitate to call Dalcon again. Thanks Carlos. Good job! read more

We had an electrical emergency in our office and lost power. We called a lot of electricians and Dalcon was the first to respond. They were quick, courteous and professional and helped us get our business running again. Since then, we have hired Dave and his crew (Jack and Billy) to help us with other electrical issues. They replaced over 50 outdated electrical outlets and installed electric emergency exit signs above all the exits in our building with minimal disruption to our business. Everyone that came to our office was on-time and professional. Every interaction I had with the office staff (Sarah and Suzanne) was pleasant. The owner, Dave, even came in person to go over the work to be done in our office and make sure we understood the process. They provided by far the best quote for the service we needed and even called when they had openings in their schedule to get our projects done sooner. We would definitely hire Dalcon Electric again. read more

I blew out a circuit or two on Sunday, and on Monday I called several electricians around the Palo Alto area. Only Dalcon could come that same day. They would charge a service fee, but it would be deducted from any work done. Their electrician, Brandon, determined that an internal sub-panel needed to be replaced. He got back to me the same day with an estimate by email which he followed up with a phone call. They could come on Wed., but I could not make that, so we arranged for Thurs. morning. Brandon was held up in traffic so the office called me to tell me he would be delayed. When he came he did a great job, clean, neat, and relatively quiet. Knowing that I would need the television while he was working, he managed to never turn off the tv's power, even though he turned off most of the rest of the house. The wall around the panel is restored to good condition. I don't even need to get a handyman to patch and paint around where the work was done. And the price was very reasonable! I will certainly use them again. read more

My circuit breaker kept tripping and so I called an electrician, the first company wanted almost $7,000 to change a control panel. We then contacted Dalcon electric company and they gave us a reasonable quote. They changed my whole panel in less than a day and were really professional, the guys that came out were Carlos and Raphael. They diud great. My family has power now and we even upgraded to more amps. Thank you guys so much, and i highly recommend this place to everyone, forgot to mention Carlos is coming back tomorrow to walk around and make sureaure everything is ok. read more

Second time using Dalcon Electric, and very happy with their fast response and ease of scheduling. Technician Carlos went above and beyond not just fixing the problem but picking up the replacement fan that wasn't in the service call. Thank you for a thorough clean job! read more

Outstanding experience with Eric. Excellent communicator, knows his stuff, got it done quickly and right. And didn't complain about having to do the work in an incredibly tiny crawl space! :) Thanks Eric! read more

Needed some urgent weekend work to repair a hot wire -- Dalcon showed up on-time (Sat at 3pm; appointment made that morning) and completed the work right then and there. I'd specifically like to highlight Joshua Richie and Chris Alton -- these are the two electricians who came to the house. Very professional, friendly, clean. Answered all of my questions and offered expert advice. We had guests over that same night who asked for Dalcon's info after I shared our positive experience. Dalcon will be our go-to Electric service moving forward... I already have two additional jobs for them in mind! read more

After reading a bunch of these reviews, I called Dalcon Electric to help me find my existing doorbell transformer and determine if it had the right voltage to power my new video doorbell. I was able to get an appointment for the same day, and Rey Inez came right on time. After searching a few places, he found the transformer wired into the power switch for my furnace, and it was indeed under powered. Rey took the time to show me how it was wired, and also where it stated the voltage. But he also measured the voltage at the existing doorbell just to be sure. He gave me the written price, said he needed to acquire the correct transformer and schedule a return visit to install it. Before he left, I asked him if he could also help me locate a replacement cover for one of my undercabinet fluorescent fixtures, which I had broken. I had been searching all over both online and off and hadn't been able to find one, as the fixture was pretty old. Rey took it as a challenge and said he would see what he could find by the time he returned to install the transformer. Today, he was back, the installation of the transformer was pretty straightforward, and the video doorbell worked right away. And he even installed a new power switch for the furnace for free. But more amazing, Rey had found the replacement cover for my undercabinet light, which turned out to be a ~$12 item on Amazon! He was able to figure out the right search terms to use to find it, while I was having no luck. I really appreciate that Rey followed through on everything, and overall did a fantastic job. I highly recommend this company and would not hesitate to call them again. read more

Dalcon Electric is great. David Lee is a professional and knows his craft. .The job was to install a 240V circuit, David and Hector Ortiz, did it in half a day.The lay out was nice and clean. Definitely will call them again for future projects read more

I needed an electrician ASAP, they were the first ones to respond. I am very happy with the attention to detail and work they provided! They replaced a burnt electrical outlet, and I'm very pleased with the work and the price. read more

Carlos from Dalcon came out on a Saturday as scheduled, and diagnosed our electrical problems immediately. I was thoroughly impressed by his knowledge, workmanship, and professionalism. He went above and beyond to answer all our questions, and we were left satisfied and safer! The dispatchers also were extremely responsive and efficient in setting up the appointment. We will be calling on Dalcon for our future electrical needs! read more

Carlos from Dalcon Electric was a pleasure to work with to fix my broken bathroom light switches. He came right on time, was courteous from the start to the finish and very friendly. Originally I had decided to try and fix the switches myself but got smarter mid way through it and realized I needed a professional. I'm glad I made the call. To be completely honest I had no idea which Electrician to call. I called a different Electrician before Dalcon, only to have the guy completely ignore my texts and follow up calls on when he would show up. He wasted my entire Sunday. Finally I decided to go to Yelp and pick a good reviewed company. If Carlos is like his coworkers, then Dalcon Electric will not let you down. read more

Very professional, knowledgeable and organized. Were prompt, efficient and courteous. Have used them several times and always been satisfied read more

Worst experience I ever had. They claim there's no charge for them to come out, but when they get there, they will charge you $479 for a consultation and diagnostic fee. It's true, you have a choice to either agree or not to their consultation fee, and in desperation, I agreed since they were already at my home at that point (but never again). That's just the first red flag. At least other companies are upfront about their charges. For example, when you call in, most companies will say "it will cost you X dollars for us to come out during emergency hours or you can wait and it will cost you nothing...". Secondly, they say they will email you a full report, which they never did; instead, they sent pictures through text with no detailed report, and proceeded to quote you thousands of dollars. They quoted me a $7K-$9K range. I had multiple certified & licensed electrian come by and none of which charged a consultation fee, and it cost a fraction of what Dalcon quoted. To share how drastic of the quote difference ... the final costs with another company ended up being $850 (inclusive of rewiring) compared to what Dalcon quoted me. Whoever reads this review can decide for themselves, but I will never work with this company again. I hope others don't fall into their trap. read more

I am writing this on behalf of my elderly mother who had work done by Chris and others from Dalcon. She appreciated their arrival on time and their cleanliness in working in and around the house. The scope of their abilities to correct the issues was amazing. Their thoroughness in working with permits and handling all aspects of the job was appreciated. They did the work on time and treated her and the work professionally. read more

We had one of 7 new smoke detectors go bad in the first 6 months. Office staff were quick to call us back. Carlos came out the next morning and replaced it under warranty. He was thorough, courteous, and prompt. DW - Newark read more

Eric was fantastic. It was unexpected that someone relatively young could be so knowledgeable and able to identify trouble points in a 95 year old home. Eric articulated clearly in layman's terms the issues with an antiquated home electrical system. read more

Chris and Josh turned up within hours of my request. They did a great job and would not only recommend them but would use them again. Also, there was no mystery to their pricing. read more

This is the third time Dalcon has come through for me. This time Brandin came out to install a new ceiling fan and switch out a light kit on a 30 year old ceiling fan. He worked fast, was clean, and my new fan doesn't even wobble. Thank you! read more

Carlos F. and Angel did a very good job of installing proper lightings in my garage and bathrooms. They removed all hazardous wirings and cords and installed new ones. They put new switches and even installed a new LED motion sensor in front of my house, thus made my home safer to live. As I summarized, the job is complicated but with their knowledge and expertise, they knew what to do. They are patient, courteous, and hardworking people, with thorough understanding of how to solve the problems of customers. These people, Carlos and Angel are main assets of Dalcon Electric Co and are also contributing to the prestigious name of the company, with excellent service, I'm giving them five (5) stars. read more

Dan Brenner was excellent. Incredibly efficient, fast, professional and friendly. I would highly recommend him.

What a great experience! Chris and Josh have been rewiring our home from aluminum to copper. We had lost power to parts of our home. They discovered that there had been a small fire in our furnace and replaced the outlet so it allows higher voltage and is up to standard. They are beyond professional and explain everything in great detail. Their knowledge and workmanship is outstanding, they are a pleasure to have around, and they clean up after! read more

The service I got from Dalcon Electric was prompt & very professional. Though I got a call from them on the morning of my scheduled appointment saying that won't be able to make it due to some fire emergency, their team member Carlos still made it to inspect my place on the same day evening. They had provided me with other electician's numbers in the morning to help, which i feel is a very courteous thing to do! Carlos was very knowledgeable, humble & efficient in his work. Giving me an estimate of how much it would cost, he explained very well what had gone wrong. Next day he came in with his team with the needed LED lights & installed the whole unit within no time. He is observant & gave me suggestions regarding safety of other electric connections at my place too. The team was quick & thorough with their work. I will definitely call them again if needed, & recommend Dalcon Electric to anyone who needs trusted & fast help. read more

Had a great experience. Not saying everything went perfectly but for the things that happened they were right on the ball and addressed them. So nice to work with professionals! read more

I had a hard electrical problem with getting my dishwasher installed. The old one was hard wired in a shoddy manner by the previous owner and Lowes would refuse to install the new dishwasher until the electrical work was fixed up. I had called other electricians for estimates and they would either flake on me or tell me they don't want to do the job, but Dalcon came to my rescue! Omar (from Dalcon) had to rework it so that it satisfies the spacing requirements and brings it up to code. He did this with excellence and high quality customer service. Recommend! read more

My smock detector was beeping and I tried to replace the old battery with a fresh new battery and also cleaned the detector. It didn't help. Then I called Dalton Electric and they came out on time. It was extremely easy to communicate with a technician. He was pleasant and likable. He recommended to replace the old smoke detector, went to a store to get it, and professionally finished the job. read more

Half the power was off in my house because of a blown circuit. Their technician, Carlos, came out in the evening when I was off work so we could have power in our house. This was a lifesaver, especially since only one of the other three companies I called about service called me back. They are professional and helpful. Highly recommended. read more

Dalcon Electric and its employees are great. I had the pleasure to work with Carlos. He went over and beyond to make sure the job was done right. Thank you Carlos! read more

Carlos came on time and got new outlets installed nicely. Both Carlos and their customer service communicates well and very responsive.
