Your lights stay on. Your breakers stop tripping. Your electrical system handles everything you throw at it without breaking a sweat.
That’s what happens when electrical work gets done right. No more wondering if that flickering light means trouble. No more resetting breakers every time you run the dishwasher and microwave together.
You get reliable power that works with your life, not against it. Professional electrical services mean your home’s electrical system actually supports the way you live today—whether that’s charging your electric vehicle, running central air, or powering all the smart devices that make life easier.
We’ve been handling electrical work in Hayward, CA neighborhoods since 2001. We’re the third-generation company that shows up in clean uniforms, wears shoe covers, and cleans up after the job.
We work throughout Hayward’s neighborhoods, from the older homes near downtown to the newer developments in the hills. We know which electrical panels fail most often and why your 1970s breaker box can’t handle today’s electrical demands.
You’re working with licensed, insured electricians who are Better Business Bureau accredited and have replaced hundreds of electrical systems in homes just like yours. Not someone learning on your dime.
First, we evaluate your current electrical panel and your home’s power needs. This isn’t just about replacing what’s there—it’s about sizing the new panel correctly for how you actually use electricity.
We handle all permit applications with the City of Hayward and coordinate required inspections. Your power is only off during the actual installation day, which takes 4-6 hours.
We coordinate with PG&E for power disconnection in the morning and reconnection once work is complete and inspected. The complete process spans several days due to permitting, but you’re only without power for one day. We take care of all the paperwork, inspections, and coordination so you don’t have to.

Most modern Hayward, CA homes need 200-amp electrical service to handle today’s electrical demands. Older homes with 100-amp or 150-amp panels often can’t support central air conditioning, electric vehicle charging, hot tubs, or multiple large appliances running simultaneously.
We handle everything from replacing a single outlet to rewiring entire homes. Emergency repairs for dangerous situations like sparking outlets or burning smells get priority response because they can be life-threatening.
EV charger installations require a 240-volt circuit and proper permits from the city. We handle the entire process: evaluating your electrical panel capacity, installing the dedicated circuit, mounting the charger, and coordinating permits and inspections. Many Hayward homes built before the 1980s need service upgrades before adding EV charging capability.
Circuit breakers that trip frequently, especially when running normal appliances, usually signal an overloaded or failing electrical panel. Other warning signs include a burning smell near the panel, rust or corrosion on the panel box, flickering lights when appliances start up, or an electrical panel over 25 years old.
Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels should be replaced immediately due to known safety issues. If your home inspection flagged electrical concerns or you can’t get homeowner’s insurance due to your electrical panel, replacement is necessary.
If you’re constantly resetting breakers or can’t run multiple appliances at once, you probably need a service upgrade from your current 100-amp or 60-amp service to modern 200-amp capacity. This is especially common in older Hayward, CA homes that were built when electrical demands were much lower.
Most modern homes need 200-amp service to run central air conditioning, electric appliances, EV chargers, and all the electronics we use today without tripping breakers. Older Hayward, CA homes often have 100-amp or even 60-amp service that made sense decades ago but can’t handle today’s electrical demands.
We calculate your electrical load based on your home’s square footage, appliances, and electrical usage patterns. Homes over 2,000 square feet or with electric heating, pools, or EV charging definitely need 200-amp service.
Smaller homes might function adequately with 150-amp panels if electrical demands are modest, but 200-amp service provides room for future electrical needs and prevents overloading issues. This investment typically increases home value and often reduces homeowner insurance premiums.
Yes, electrical panel replacement requires permits from the City of Hayward and must pass electrical inspection before PG&E will reconnect power. We handle all permit applications and schedule required inspections as part of our service.
California law requires licensed electricians for most electrical work, and for good reason. Attempting electrical panel replacement without permits creates serious liability issues and violates local electrical codes.
Insurance companies typically won’t cover damage from unpermitted electrical work, and you’ll face liability issues if problems occur later. PG&E won’t reconnect power without proper permits and electrical inspection approval. The permit process requires a licensed contractor’s signature, which we provide as part of our comprehensive service.
The actual electrical panel installation takes 4-6 hours, but the complete process spans several days due to permitting and inspections. We submit permit applications to the City of Hayward, which typically takes 2-3 business days for approval.
After installation, we schedule the required electrical inspection, usually available within 24-48 hours. Your power is only off during the actual installation day.
We coordinate with PG&E for power disconnection in the morning and reconnection once work is complete and inspected. This ensures your electrical work meets all safety codes and legal requirements. We handle all the scheduling and coordination so you don’t have to take multiple days off work or manage the process yourself.
Electrical work costs depend on what needs to be done, but we give you upfront pricing before we start any work. Simple outlet replacements might run $150-200, while panel upgrades typically range from $1,500-3,000 depending on your home’s needs.
Emergency calls have a service fee, but that gets applied to the repair cost if you hire us. We don’t surprise you with hidden charges or inflated prices after we’re already in your home.
You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we touch anything. Many Hayward, CA homes need electrical service upgrades along with panel replacement, which affects the total investment but ensures your electrical system can handle modern power demands. This investment typically increases home value by $3,000-5,000 and often reduces homeowner insurance premiums.
Yes, we install Level 2 EV chargers for electric vehicles throughout Hayward, CA. Most EV charger installations require a 240-volt circuit and proper permits from the city.
We handle the entire process: evaluating your electrical panel capacity, installing the dedicated circuit, mounting the charger, and coordinating permits and inspections. If your current panel doesn’t have adequate capacity, we’ll recommend upgrading to 200-amp service first.
The installation includes running the dedicated 240-volt line from your electrical panel to the charging location, mounting the charging unit, and ensuring everything meets current electrical codes and safety requirements. Many older Hayward, CA homes need panel upgrades before adding EV charging capability, but we can handle both projects efficiently.
