Finding a licensed electrician that you can trust to service or repair your property can be difficult. While some electricians offer free consultations or other specials, they often do not have the skills or expertise necessary to efficiently perform the service you need. At Dalcon, Inc., we have over 30 years of combined experience providing high-quality electrical services for our neighbors in San Jose and the surrounding areas and are definitely able to take care of any issue you run into big, or small!

"Carlos F. was very professional and courteous. He was able to fix my electrical issue promptly & kudos to Dalcon, Inc for providing same day service. Great work & customer service. Would definitely recommend!"

Integrity and quality! Profit and speed is the priority of most companies today, many do not care about quality, safety, reliability! When it comes to VOLTEX, you will be impressed by our approach to business. Yes we will do the job 1 day longer, 1 dollar more expensive, but we will give an extended warranty on their work and many years of trouble-free work that will ultimately save your budget, time, and safety.

"Voltyx went great. Both techs (Erik and Vladimir) were professional and hard working. The dispatcher/project manager (Roman) was courteous and very easy to work with."

Our electricians specialize in panel upgrades, whole house rewiring, whole house fans, photovoltaic solar systems, lighting design, recessed lighting, retrofit, remodel and additions, electric vehicle charging stations, and electrical troubleshooting. Founded in 2005 we are a multifaceted provider of contracting services to San Jose and South Bay Area . During the past years we have added several services products to our offerings. We are now a significant provider of solar power systems to the foothill region of central California in Calaveras and Amador counties.

"Jason responded to my Angi request within 5 minutes of my entry. When I described my problem, he let me know that if I bought a different kind of light bulb I would not need an electrician. My florescent light bulbs had gone out in my laundry room and when I bought new ones at the store, they said they required the removal of wiring to the ballast and work had to be done by a knowledgeable expert. Jason let me know there are replacement LED bulbs that don't require rewiring and he texted me a link to ones at Home Depot. Yay! This was great, not just because of the cost savings, but because my house is for sell and I need the lights working ASAP for a broker tour this week."

FAQs for ceiling fan installation projects in Palo Alto, CA

Adding a fan to a pergola, gazebo, or other outdoor living space costs between $250 and $3,000. If you need wiring, expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $1,500 or more for the circuit, switch, and electrical boxes. You'll also need to make sure you purchase one that's outdoor-specific with weather-resistant construction.

You need an electrician to install a ceiling fan if new wiring or circuit modifications are required. Installing a ceiling fan involves electrical and mechanical expertise, and working with electricity can be dangerous without proper experience. If replacing an existing fan or light fixture where wiring is already in place, a handyperson can perform the installation. However, for new installations, complex setups, or any situation involving electrical work, it's essential to hire a local licensed electrician to ensure the job is done safely and complies with local codes.

You should get a ceiling fan that matches the decor of your home. Out-of-place styles stick out and may detract from the home's resale value later. If you're unsure which design to go with, talk to an interior designer.

Interior decorators cost around $2,000 to $12,000, but they create a plan for your entire home. You can choose from every possible style, from traditional carved oak to slick stainless steel to fans resembling old airplane propellers.

The size of your room will dictate the appropriate fan size. For exceptionally large rooms, consider installing more than one ceiling fan. Use the following guidelines to determine the fan size you should purchase based on your room's size:

  • For rooms up to 75 square feet, choose a fan with a blade span of 29–36 inches.

  • For rooms 80–175 square feet, choose a fan with a blade span of 42–48 inches.

  • For rooms 180–350 square feet, choose a fan with a blade span of 52–56 inches.

  • For rooms larger than 350 square feet, choose a fan with a blade span of 60 inches or larger.

A fan costs around $44 to $88 annually if you run it nonstop. That's assuming it costs about $0.05 to $0.09 to run a fan every hour based on a range of 50 to 80 kilowatts per hour and an average national rate of $0.11 per kilowatt hour for electricity.

Installing a ceiling fan involves several steps:

  1. Turn off the power at the breaker box.

  2. Remove the old fixture and disconnect wiring.

  3. Install support braces if needed.

  4. Attach the new fan housing to the existing box.

  5. Connect the wiring according to code and manufacturer instructions.

  6. Assemble the fan components.

  7. Restore power and test the fan.

Working with electricity can be dangerous. If you're not experienced with electrical work, it's wise to hire a professional to ensure a safe and proper installation.
