What Our Customers Say About Us
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do you offer upfront pricing or free estimates for electrical work?
Yes, we believe in complete transparency. Because we pride ourselves on thorough, accurate diagnostics, we identify the exact root of your electrical issue before any work begins. This allows us to provide you with clear, upfront pricing and viable options, so you are never surprised by hidden fees on your final bill.
Do you provide emergency electrical repairs in San Jose and Santa Clara County?
Absolutely. Electrical hazards like sparking panels, dead circuits, or sudden power loss don't wait for regular business hours. As a local, family-owned business, we provide prompt and reliable emergency troubleshooting to restore your power safely and give you immediate peace of mind.
How do I know if my home needs an electrical panel upgrade?
Many older homes in the Bay Area still operate on 100-amp panels, which are often insufficient for modern demands like EV charging stations, hot tubs, or new HVAC systems. If your breakers trip frequently, your lights flicker, or you are planning a major appliance upgrade, our experts can perform a comprehensive safety inspection to determine if a panel upgrade or subpanel is required to keep your home code-compliant and safe.
Is Dollens Electric fully licensed and insured?
Yes. We are a fully licensed, bonded, and insured C-10 electrical contractor serving the Bay Area since 2005. Whether we are rewiring a single room or outfitting a commercial building, we pull the necessary permits and ensure every job meets or exceeds strict California electrical codes and safety standards.
