"Dave is very knowledgeable and friendly. We had a burned fuse box (for the air con). He replaced it with one that was state-of-the art. Made sure that the air con was working properly; made sure the outlet to the washer and dryer room was properly functioning. He was so prompt in coming for a free estimate. He came with another worker, and completely the job in less than an hour. Our cost was $250, a nice surprise, considering our last electrician bill was $700 (breaker outlet, and, to add insult to injury, DEFECTIVE work on the triple switch right). It was wonderful to take care of this so efficiently since we are selling a house. Thanks, Dave! Thanks Homeadvisor!"

"Brandon (Sunrise Electrical) responded next day to my email. Visited job day after, explained replacement and upgrade to main (burned up) panel, current grounding requirements, , and permit process. Submitted bid next day. This type of work may be twice as expensive as youâ re thinking, but you probably need licensed, bonded , etc. with good equipment and crew. We were confident they would do the job as described. They worked hard to prioritize our repairs even though the our county was in the midst of disastrous storms and there were several emergencies they were dealing with concurrently. Their work included exterior stucco around new panel and crawling under house to attach the new ground wire. They compted us a fix of an adjacent gate latch and repair of a suspect circuit in the garage. Will hire again for repairs or upgrades."

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!

"My Tech James was the best. He put my worries to ease before installing my chandelier. Very prompt, professional and knew exactly what he was doing. He put on booties to walk in the house and came with a broom and dust pan. Extremely happy with this project."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Santa Cruz, CA

Electrical wiring can last between 50 and 70 years if properly installed and maintained. However, factors like moisture damage and overloading outlets can shorten this lifespan. To extend your wiring's life, unplug electronics when not in use, avoid overloading outlets, and schedule regular electrical inspections every five to ten years.

If your house was built in the 1960s and hasn't been rewired, it likely needs it. Older homes may have outdated wiring like knob-and-tube, which poses fire risks due to flammable insulation. Rewiring ensures safety and may also require updating your circuit panel, outlets, switches, and fixtures. Contact a local electrician to help with your rewiring needs.

Yes, rewiring your house is worth it, especially if your wiring is outdated. It improves safety by reducing fire risks and can increase your property's value. However, you may not need a full rewire. A home inspector can tell you if a partial rewire will bring your home up to code.

Yes, you can sometimes rewire a house without removing walls. Electricians might access wiring through attics, basements, or crawl spaces, or make small holes to run new wires. However, this isn't always possible, and in some cases, removing sections of walls is necessary to ensure the wiring is installed safely and meets code.

A house should typically be rewired every 25 years to maintain safety. Over time, wiring deteriorates, increasing fire risks. Regular electrical inspections every five to ten years help assess the need for rewiring. Staying proactive with maintenance ensures a safe, efficient electrical system and prevents potential hazards before they become serious issues.
