Electrical Services in San Jose & Surrounding Areas

Update 8/2025

Still my go to electrical contractor. On time, plenty of communication, professional.
Converting from propane to an electric BBQ (firewise change).
Needed a new outlet on a 20 amp circuit that had an old 15 amp style socket. These are the guys I trust to keep us safe.

Update 9/2020 - Upgraded some thermostat wiring for me with a difficult routing. Professional and quick.

Update - Jason and Josh again came through for me. In the midst of a heat wave, they were able to come to the other end of the county and fix an electrical problem at my mother's house. Got the outlets for the portable AC and lift chair back working and made the wiring safer to boot.

Original - Could not ask for better. Jason installed a new 40 amp circuit and an EVo charger for our car. (No more slow 110 charging. Yeah!) While working in our breaker panel he noted a dangerous situation left by a previous contractor who upgraded our air conditioning.

(Side note kind of disappointing the inspector didn't notice that the other contractor put in a bigger breaker on a wire that was too small. Luckily the wire insulation had just started to bubble and it didn't catch fire.)

Within a week they were able to fit us in to replace the faulty circuit as well as rewire our garage lighting to eliminate some creative but scary runs of extension cords and re-purposed outlets. Now I have bright lights and when I look up, I don't see wires draped everywhere.

We connected with Jason of Dollens Electric through our equally excellent general contractor Dan Mackey. (Who by the way had nothing to do with the faulty circuit or the creative garage lighting.)

Lastly a thank you to Jason's son Josh who got to do the crawling under the house.

very professional yet friendly Looking forward to continuing with Dollens Electric

They put in a ceiling fan for us and did a good job at a reasonable price. They are a great family company. I would definitely use them again.

Great service in installing an EVSE in my home. Very knowledgeable and explained the installation process.

After my car charger arrived I scheduled an appointment for the install, and Joshua came a couple days later. He was on time, knowledgeable, very professional, and did an amazing install of my Wallbox and Powermeter for a great price. I appreciated that he offered to install the power wires through the back for a cleaner install. He also explained to me what he was doing, and gave me chances for input on how everything should be laid out on the wall.

I had a hard time finding a contractor who wanted to install a power meter for dynamic energy monitoring over an expensive DCC. On my first call with them they recommended an Emporia Pro which is the cheapest option for dynamic load management, so I knew that they had the best for the customer in mind. I decided to go with Wallbox's offering instead; although I picked a less common method for dynamic load management Joshua had no issues wiring everything and it was great to see that he took in my input instead of just telling me I had to install a costly DCC. I also liked that he already had a lot of prior experience installing Wallbox's car charger.

Thank you for an amazing install. Support Local!

Called for an estimate and Jason came out the next day and we received the estimate within a few hours. The work began two days later. Josh was very good at explaining what he was doing and let us know if something he saw was concerning. Both Josh and Brian were very neat and left the job site clean. The estimate was very clear as to the cost of each part of the project. The final cost was exactly what was estimated. Also received a senior discount, which was very much appreciated. Thanks to Jason, Josh and Brian.

Highly efficient service. Provided the best solution to charge our new Tesla avoiding purchase of a costly charger. Installed a 50amp line and outlet. Highly recommended.

Used again today to troubleshoot a couple of problems (Solved) and replace a ceiling fan (looks and works great). These guys are still the best.

I was pleased when they briefly reviewed an installation manual to make sure they remembered exactly how the brand worked. It was obvious Joshua already knew how to make the installation but he doubled checked anyway. (I'm glad I'm not the only person who still refers to a manual.)

Call/use them; you won't be sorry.

Jason is the BEST

Dollens Electric installed a natural gas fired standby generator for me in May Last year. Jason called me and came to service the unit. The generator works like a charm every time we had PG&E outage. The best thing I have ever done for myself. They are professional and efficient. Unlike a lot of contractor, there was no fuss.. it is a large generator, they got it in a tight spot, yet met all the codes. Very nice.

Dollens Electric did a great job for us in setting up the irrigation system for the Christmas Tree Farm.

Service was excellent and professional. Jason and Josh answered all my questions and gave good feedback. I will use again. Thank you!

The electrician, who is a son of the owner, was extremely knowledgeable, professional, prompt and expedient. He offered several options to my service request, but did so without pressure of any kind. The job was done quickly and with perfection. I highly recommend.

Excellent Service

Great service -- all of the above

Very thorough and informative whole house fan, chandelier and kitchen hood thru roof job. Josh explained in details and provided suggestions to protect my old circuits also.

Wanted to replace very old track lighting in living room with can lights. Submitted an estimate request on a Sunday night, Jason came out first thing Monday morning to check out the project and provided a timely and reasonable estimate later that day and followed up with a phone call. Work was completed today, one week later! Josh, Elijah, and Ricky were respectful of our home, took great care to keep things clean and were very pleasant. I don't know why we put this project off for so long! We finally have decent lighting in our living room! Will definitely use Dollens Electric for any future home projects/maintenance!

Punctual and thorough service with helpful future maintenance ideas.?

Trustworthy very much describes Dollens Electric. Jason and his team including Josh and Elijah are reliable, honest, and efficient. I have used Dollens for major and small jobs and they stand by their work and rightfully so. Don't be fooled by cheap quotes that lure you in with the thought of getting major work done for a cheap cheap price. You get what you pay for and with Dollens, you get a great job for a fair price. Dollens is my go-to electrician.

Jason seemed to know the possible cause for the problem when I told him that the parts of the house were losing power gradually, and he was right!! He came out on the same day and fixed the problem (burnt crimp in junction box in the garage) within an hour!! Excellent!

Prompt, and they explained everything in detail

Professional, fair pricing, and stayed late to get complete the job. Excellent workmanship and could not recommend more.

These guys are great. Had power fail at one of our outbuildings; they offered to come fix it on Xmas eve but I said after Christmas was fine. They came out on time, got it fixed, all good. Highly recommended!

Excellent service & very competitive pricing. Would definitely use Dollens again & recommend them to others.

Excellent service with courteous and knowledgeable men

They have helped us a couple of times now. Will continue to use them going forward.

I apologize for leaving a 1 star review earlier. I wanted to leave a review for another electrician service with similar name.

The guys who came out listened to what I wanted to get done and got right on it. I’m very pleased with their work. More business to come!

Very pleasant and professional, but very expensive for 20 minutes of work.

Very easy to work with. Good suggestions were offered. Work is always first-rate.

Josh & Elijah did excellent work in replacing our electric panel. They were polite, professional & answered any questions I had. The work area was cleaned after they left. They even cleaned out my rain gutter & spout - above & beyond service!!

Great service, courteous and efficient. I will engage Dollens for my panel replacement as well.

Arrived on time and very capable with the installation and fixes

Dollen's Electric are our one-stop shop for anything electrical! Great family business! Give them yours!

We recently bought a vehicle and I contacted Jason and he came right away. The next day his son Josh, cousin Elijah, and their friend came by to install our 240 volt outlet with precision and quality. I would go to them again.

We had a great experience with Dollens Electric—they helped us replace old wiring, install new outlets, and install bathroom fans in our home (including adding the vents through the roof). They were very personable and easy to talk to, and it was easy to see that they put a lot of care into their work. We're looking forward to working with them again soon!

Installed a whole house fan that is quiet and effective. Greatly reduces A/C cost. Workers are fast and efficient and cleaned up 100%. Quality products.

This company is great. They were always on time and great at communicating both time estimates and costs. They are very thorough, knew current codes inside...
