FAQs
What qualifies as a “rapid-response” electrical repair in Delano?
A rapid-response call is any situation that poses an immediate safety risk or could lead to significant property damage if not addressed quickly—such as power outages affecting critical circuits, burning smells from panels or outlets, sparking fixtures, tripped breakers that will not reset, or storm-related electrical damage. Our Delano-based dispatch team prioritizes these calls and aims to have a certified electrician on-site within 60–90 minutes, day or night.
Are your electricians licensed and insured to work in Delano, CA?
Yes. Every technician who responds to your home or business holds a current California C-10 electrical contractor’s license, carries at least $1 million in liability insurance, and is covered by workers’ compensation. We also secure any required City of Delano permits for larger repair projects to ensure code compliance and inspection approval.
How much will an emergency electrical repair cost?
We keep pricing transparent. There is a flat dispatch fee that covers travel and the first 30 minutes of diagnostic work. After diagnosing the issue, the technician presents a written, up-front quote that includes parts, labor, taxes, and permit fees (if needed). You choose whether to proceed—no hidden charges or hourly surprises. We accept major credit cards, checks, and offer financing on repairs over $500.
Can you repair older wiring and electrical panels common in Delano’s mid-century homes?
Absolutely. Many Delano properties were built between the 1950s and 1980s and still use original aluminum branch circuits or Federal Pacific/Stab-Lok panels. Our team has specialized training and stock on hand to correct aluminum wiring terminations, install AFCI/GFCI protection, and replace outdated or unsafe panels. We’ll also bring the system up to current NEC standards so you can safely add modern appliances or solar later on.
What safety steps should I take while waiting for the electrician to arrive?
1. If you smell burning or see smoke, shut off the main breaker immediately and evacuate if flames are present. 2. Do not touch any sparking outlet, switch, or exposed wire—electric shock can occur even if the breaker is tripped. 3. Unplug sensitive electronics to prevent surge damage, especially during brownouts or partial power. 4. Keep the area clear so the technician has quick access to the panel, attic, or crawl space. If you believe there is a fire or someone has been shocked, call 911 first, then our emergency line.
Do you offer after-hours and weekend coverage in case my power fails outside normal business hours?
Yes. Our Delano rapid-response team operates 24/7/365, including holidays. A real dispatcher—never an answering service—answers your call, gathers key details, and sends the closest on-call electrician with a fully stocked service vehicle. Because we carry common breakers, receptacles, switches, and wiring on board, over 90 % of emergency repairs are completed during the first visit, no matter the hour.
