What Homeowners Need to Know
Whole-Home Rewiring
Older homes with outdated aluminum wiring, cloth-wrapped conductors, or knob-and-tube systems pose serious fire risks. A whole-home rewire replaces all wiring with modern copper conductors, brings your panel up to current code, and adds capacity for today's electrical demands — air conditioning, EV chargers, home offices, and more. We work room by room to minimize disruption to your daily life.
200-Amp Panel Upgrades
Most older homes were built with 100-amp or even 60-amp service — insufficient for modern living. An upgrade to 200-amp service provides the capacity for central air, kitchen appliances, hot tubs, EV charging, and home workshops. We handle the utility coordination, permitting, and final inspection to ensure a seamless upgrade.
Surge Protection
California's foothill communities are particularly vulnerable to power surges from lightning, utility switching, and wildfire-related grid fluctuations. Whole-house surge protection guards your appliances, electronics, HVAC systems, and smart home devices from catastrophic voltage spikes. A small investment that protects thousands of dollars in equipment.
Ceiling Fan Installation
Proper installation requires secure mounting to rated junction boxes, correct wiring for separate fan and light controls, and balanced blade alignment. We install everything from standard residential ceiling fans to large-format commercial fans in great rooms and covered patios.
Dedicated Circuits
Modern kitchens, home offices, and workshops require dedicated 20-amp circuits for high-draw appliances — dishwashers, microwaves, laser printers, power tools, and server equipment. We install dedicated circuits with proper breaker sizing and wire gauge to prevent tripping and ensure safe operation.
Troubleshooting & Repair
Flickering lights, tripping breakers, hot outlets, dead circuits — electrical problems don't wait for convenient times. We offer responsive service calls to diagnose and fix issues quickly. Our electricians carry fully stocked trucks so most common repairs can be completed in a single visit.
