When your circuit breakers keep tripping or your electrical panel can’t handle your family’s power needs, you need an electrician who takes the time to diagnose the real problem. Not someone who rushes through a quick fix that fails in six months.
You get a thorough assessment of your entire electrical system. We identify what’s causing the issues and give you multiple options to solve them permanently. No surprises, no shortcuts, no coming back to fix the same problem twice.
Your family deserves reliable power that keeps the lights on, appliances running, and everyone safe from electrical hazards.

East Palo Alto homes often need electrical panel upgrades to handle modern appliances and technology. We’ve helped hundreds of families upgrade safely while taking advantage of local rebate programs that can save you $1,000 or more.
First, we listen to what’s happening with your electrical system. Flickering lights, tripping breakers, outlets that don’t work – we want to understand the full picture before we start.
Next, we perform a thorough diagnostic inspection of your electrical panel, wiring, and affected circuits. This takes time, but it’s how we find the root cause instead of just treating symptoms.
Then we explain exactly what we found and give you multiple options to fix it. We discuss the pros and cons of each approach so you can make the best decision for your family and budget. Once you approve the work, we complete it with a two-year parts and labor warranty.

Our electrical services cover everything your East Palo Alto home needs. Panel upgrades and whole-house rewires are our specialty, but we also handle electrical repairs, outlet installations, and safety inspections.
Many East Palo Alto homes were built when families used far less electricity. Today’s households need electrical systems that can safely power computers, large appliances, electric vehicle chargers, and smart home technology. We upgrade your electrical infrastructure to meet these modern demands.
With local rebate programs offering up to $1,000 for electrical panel upgrades, now is an excellent time to improve your home’s electrical system. We help you navigate these programs and ensure your upgrade qualifies for maximum savings.
Your electrical panel needs upgrading if you’re experiencing frequent circuit breaker trips, especially when using multiple appliances at once. Other warning signs include flickering lights when appliances turn on, warm electrical panels, or burning smells near your electrical box.
Most East Palo Alto homes built before 1990 have electrical panels designed for much lower power demands than today’s families require. If your panel is over 25 years old or you’re adding major appliances like electric vehicle chargers, an upgrade is likely necessary.
We perform a complete electrical assessment to determine if your current panel can safely handle your family’s power needs or if an upgrade would improve safety and reliability.
Our electrical inspection covers your entire electrical system from the main panel to individual outlets and switches. We check for code violations, safety hazards, outdated wiring, and components that may fail soon.
During the inspection, we test GFCI outlets, verify proper grounding, examine wire connections, and assess your electrical panel’s condition. We also look for signs of electrical problems like scorched outlets, loose connections, or overloaded circuits.
You receive a detailed report explaining any issues we found, recommended repairs or upgrades, and timeline for addressing safety concerns. This inspection helps prevent electrical fires and ensures your family’s safety.
Yes, we provide emergency electrical repairs for East Palo Alto residents when you’re dealing with power outages, electrical hazards, or safety concerns that can’t wait until regular business hours.
Emergency situations include complete power loss, electrical panels that are hot to the touch, burning smells from electrical components, or sparking outlets. These problems pose immediate safety risks and require professional attention right away.
We prioritize emergency calls and work to restore safe electrical service to your home as quickly as possible. Our emergency repairs come with the same two-year warranty as our regular electrical work.
Electrical panel upgrade costs in East Palo Alto typically range from $2,500 to $6,000 depending on your home’s specific needs and the amperage upgrade required. However, local rebate programs can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
East Palo Alto residents may qualify for up to $1,000 in rebates for electrical panel upgrades, plus additional incentives for energy-efficient improvements. We help you understand which programs apply to your situation and handle the rebate paperwork.

Most electrical repairs in East Palo Alto homes take 2-4 hours to complete, but the timeline depends on the complexity of the problem and what we discover during our diagnostic process.
Simple repairs like replacing outlets or switches can often be completed in under an hour. More complex issues like rewiring circuits or troubleshooting electrical problems may take several hours to diagnose and repair properly.
We take the time needed to fix electrical problems correctly the first time rather than rushing through quick fixes that fail later. Our thorough approach means you won’t have the same electrical problem again in six months.
