Electrical Repair and Wiring for Homes and Small Businesses

A dead outlet, a breaker that will not stay on, a smell you cannot place: electrical problems are stressful, and many are unsafe to leave alone.

Dorn Electric handles electrical repair and wiring for homes and small businesses across Southern California. The team looks for the real cause instead of patching the symptom, so the fix lasts.

What We Take On

Troubleshooting: dead outlets, tripping breakers, flickering lights and unexplained power loss.
Outlets and switches: new outlets, replacements, GFCI protection and broken sockets.
Rewiring: from a single room to a whole older home.
Dedicated circuits: for appliances, hot tubs, workshops and other heavy loads.
Smoke detectors: hardwired and interconnected alarms.
Surge protection: shielding electronics and appliances.
Safety inspections: a full check of the panel, wiring and outlets, useful before buying a home.
Remodel wiring: new circuits and fixtures for renovated spaces.

When to Call Right Away

Some problems can wait for a scheduled visit. These should not:

Burning smells, sparks or smoke from an outlet or panel
Outlets or switch plates that feel hot
Buzzing or crackling sounds
Repeated breaker trips: see why breakers keep tripping
Lights that dim when appliances start: see why lights flicker

If you see sparks or smell burning, switch off power at the panel if it is safe to do so, and call us. If there is a fire, call 911.

Questions We Hear Often

What kinds of repairs do you handle?

Outlets, switches, breakers, wiring faults, lighting problems, appliance circuits and general troubleshooting for homes and small businesses.

Why do my breakers or outlets keep failing?

Overloaded circuits, worn breakers, loose connections and aging wiring are the usual causes. An inspection finds which one it is so the problem does not return.

Do you rewire whole houses?

Yes. Rewiring is common in older homes with outdated or undersized wiring. The scope and timeline depend on the size and layout of the home.

Is an electrical inspection worth it?

It is a good idea before buying a home, adding major appliances or if the house is more than 25 years old. It flags anything unsafe or out of date.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Yeah no, terrible experience, and with Mike Dorn specifically. I went with this company for my electrical issue because of all the good reviews haha. I made a mistake in thinking I needed a new breaker and agreed over text to pay 225 for him to replace it but when they came down to my house it turned out the switch just needed a harder push to turn on and no need for any kind of repair. I apologized and Mike right away started going on and on about replacing my breaker anyway for 225 since he already came "all the way down here" all the way down from Apple valley to Hesperia by the way, and his gas, and his time I apparently just wasted. Would not leave. I offered 50 to get this man to stop his tantrum and got a little eye roll and more talk about his precious 2 min I just wasted, not to mention he had initially told me 2-4pm that same day and then rescheduled for the next day instead but this is all about Mike and his time guys, then he said something about 125 and I was like ok done just to get him off my yard😂. He shook my hand, got his smile back, and acted like a decent person again after payment haha. His work partner Richard was very, very nice maybe one day hopefully he can get away from Mike. Mike if you're reading this, thanks for nothing! You are extremely unprofessional and untrustworthy with no common decency behind your fake friendly little act you have going. Enjoy the 125 you needed it that bad I guess to harass someone like that over an honest mistake😂

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outstanding service! I contacted Mike to replace an outdated electrical panel. I had tried other contractors/electricians before Mike. Most wouldn’t even respond to requests. When I called Mike he answered the phone himself. He provided a quick estimate and scheduled the work within a week. Extremely satisfied with the workmanship. He even did a couple extras at no charge. You won’t be disappointed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I live in the middle of Timbuktu.  But when I called Dorn Electric, they said we handle that area.

If you want fast and financially feasible electrical work performed effortlessly and your home left in order....call them now.

We are 1000% satisfied with the services performed.  4 outdoor lights, 1 ceiling fan install and 1 corrected, 2 smoke detectors and transferred a light switch from an outer wall to an inner wall installed in no time.

Punctual, Personable and Professional.

Thank you doesn't express our gratitude for their services.
