You flip a switch and the lights work. Your outlets handle everything you plug in without tripping breakers. Your electrical panel isn’t making weird noises or giving off burning smells that keep you awake at night.
That’s what happens when electrical work gets done right. No more wondering if that flickering light is going to cause a fire. No more resetting circuit breakers three times a day because your panel can’t handle your microwave and coffee maker running at the same time.
You get electrical systems that work reliably, safely, and without the constant worry that something’s going to go wrong when you’re not home. Your family stays safe, your appliances get the power they need, and you stop thinking about your electrical system because it just works.
We’ve been handling electrical work in Fremont for years. We know the older neighborhoods where panels need upgrading and the newer developments where smart home integration is priority one. We’re licensed, insured, and we show up when we say we will.
Many Fremont homes need panel upgrades to handle modern electrical loads. Your 1980s panel wasn’t designed for electric vehicle chargers, high-efficiency HVAC systems, and all the devices we use today. We upgrade panels properly so you can use your appliances without constant breaker trips.
We’re Better Business Bureau accredited because we do the work right the first time. You work with electricians who wear shoe covers, keep clean vehicles, and clean up the job site when we’re done.
First, we evaluate your current electrical system and identify what needs attention. This includes checking your panel capacity, looking for code violations, and determining the right solution for your electrical demands. We explain what we found in plain language, not technical jargon that leaves you confused.
Next, we handle any permit applications with the city of Fremont and coordinate with PG&E if we need to disconnect power. You don’t deal with bureaucracy or utility companies—we manage that entire process for you.
The installation typically takes 4-6 hours depending on your electrical setup. We protect your home with drop cloths and careful debris removal. Your electrical work comes with warranty coverage on both materials and workmanship, plus documentation for your insurance company and future home sales.

Emergency calls get priority response—we typically respond within 2-4 hours, often sooner depending on your location in Fremont.

Fremont’s older homes often need specialized attention. Homes built before 1990 frequently have panels that can’t safely handle modern electrical loads. We’ve upgraded panels in neighborhoods throughout Fremont, from older tract homes to custom properties, and we understand the unique challenges these homes present.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. Most electrical work in Fremont requires permits from the city—panel upgrades, new circuits, rewiring, and service changes all need permits and inspections. We handle all permit applications and coordinate inspections for work that requires them.
Your panel probably needs upgrading if it’s over 25 years old, uses fuses instead of circuit breakers, or can’t handle your electrical needs without frequent trips. Signs include flickering lights when appliances turn on, warm or discolored panel covers, burning smells, or breakers that trip repeatedly.
Many Fremont homes built before 1990 have panels that can’t safely handle modern electrical loads. We can inspect your panel and electrical system to determine if an upgrade is necessary for safety and functionality. The inspection also identifies any code violations that need correction.
Electrical service costs depend on what needs to be done. Simple repairs like replacing outlets or switches typically cost $150-300. More complex work like panel upgrades or rewiring can range from $1,500-5,000 depending on your home’s size and electrical needs.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. Emergency calls may include additional fees for after-hours service, but we’ll always tell you the total cost before we begin. Most homeowners find the investment pays for itself through increased home value and lower insurance premiums.
Most electrical work in Fremont requires permits from the city. Panel upgrades, new circuits, rewiring, and electrical service changes all need permits and inspections. Simple repairs like replacing outlets or switches usually don’t require permits.
We handle all permit applications and coordinate inspections for work that requires them. This protects you legally and ensures the work meets current electrical codes. Working without proper permits can create problems with insurance claims and home sales.
Most electrical panel replacements take 4-6 hours once we start work. However, the complete process includes permit approval time, which typically takes 3-5 business days in Fremont. We coordinate with PG&E for the power disconnect and reconnection, which adds about an hour to the installation day.
Your power is only off during the actual panel installation, not during the permit waiting period. We schedule the work at your convenience and keep you informed throughout the entire process so there are no surprises.
First, check if your main breaker has tripped and try resetting it once. If that doesn’t work, or if you smell burning or see sparks, don’t touch anything else and call an electrician immediately. The problem could be with your main electrical service, a damaged service line, or internal wiring issues.
These aren’t DIY repairs and can be dangerous to investigate without proper training and equipment. We typically respond to emergency electrical calls within 2-4 hours, often sooner depending on our current schedule and your location in Fremont. Safety issues always take precedence over scheduled maintenance work.
Yes, many Fremont homeowners combine electrical panel replacement with service upgrades from 100 to 200 amps. This requires additional work including new service cables, meter base replacement, and coordination with PG&E. Service upgrades make sense if you’re adding electric vehicle charging, pool equipment, or major appliances.
We’ll assess your current electrical service capacity and recommend whether an upgrade benefits your home. The additional cost is often worthwhile for the increased electrical capacity and home value. Many Fremont homes built before 1990 need service upgrades along with panel replacement.
