You flip the switch and everything works. Your family sleeps better knowing the electrical system won’t catch fire in the middle of the night. Modern appliances, home offices, smart devices, and air conditioning all run smoothly without constant worry about electrical capacity or safety hazards.
No more circuit breakers tripping when you’re trying to cook dinner and run the dishwasher. No more flickering lights when the AC kicks on. Your electrical system handles whatever you throw at it, from charging your electric vehicle to powering that new home theater setup.
Most importantly, you have peace of mind. Old electrical panels cause thousands of house fires every year, especially those Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels installed in many Burlingame homes decades ago. A properly upgraded electrical system eliminates that risk entirely.
We’ve been upgrading electrical panels throughout the Peninsula since 2001. We understand the unique challenges of Burlingame homes, from the post-war construction boom to the modern renovations happening in neighborhoods like Crosswinds and Mills Estate.
Our electricians are licensed, insured, and familiar with San Mateo County electrical codes. We’ve replaced hundreds of outdated panels in homes just like yours, and we know exactly what it takes to bring your electrical system up to modern standards safely and efficiently.
What sets us apart is our professionalism. We wear shoe covers, use uniforms, keep clean vehicles, and clean up the job site when we’re done. We also take time to diagnose problems correctly, provide multiple repair options, and fix the issue right the first time.
First, we assess your current electrical panel and your home’s power needs. We check for code violations, measure electrical loads, and determine the right panel size for your situation. Most Burlingame homes need 200-amp service to handle modern electrical demands.
Next, we coordinate with PG&E to safely disconnect power. We remove your old panel and install the new one, connecting all circuits and ensuring everything meets current electrical codes. We test every circuit to make sure everything works properly.
Finally, we schedule the city inspection to approve the work. The whole process typically takes 4-6 hours, and you’re back to full power the same day. We coordinate with PG&E to minimize power outage time, typically 1-2 hours while we make the final connections.
