We handle the full range of residential electrical services Mountain View homeowners need. Panel upgrades for homes that have outgrown their electrical capacity – especially important since Mountain View requires 200-amp service for single-family homes. Outlet and switch installations, ceiling fan installations, and whole-house surge protection to keep your electronics safe.
Emergency electrical repairs when something goes wrong at the worst possible time. Code updates to bring older homes up to current safety standards, which is crucial in Mountain View where many homes were built before modern electrical codes. Smart home wiring for the technology you want to add.
Mountain View’s mix of older and newer homes means we work on everything from vintage properties that need careful electrical updates to recent construction requiring modern electrical solutions. We’ve handled the electrical challenges specific to this area, from the established neighborhoods near Castro Street to the family developments on the east side. Every job gets the same attention to detail, whether it’s a simple outlet repair or a complete electrical panel replacement.
Electrical work costs vary depending on the complexity of the job, materials needed, and local permit requirements. Simple repairs like fixing an outlet typically cost $150-300, while major projects like electrical panel upgrades range from $1,500-4,000 or more.
We provide free estimates for all electrical work so you know the exact cost before committing. Our upfront pricing includes labor, materials, and any permit fees – no surprise charges or hidden costs after the job is complete.

Absolutely. Sugar Bear Home Services is fully licensed, bonded, and insured to perform electrical work throughout Mountain View and the Bay Area. We maintain all required California electrical contractor licenses and stay current with local electrical codes and permit requirements.
When you hire us, you’re working with legitimate electrical professionals who can legally perform electrical work in your area. We also understand Mountain View’s specific requirements, like the city’s mandate for 200-amp electrical panels in single-family homes and proper grounding and bonding when panels are replaced.
Yes, we handle all permit applications and coordinate with Mountain View’s building department for required inspections. Most electrical work in Mountain View requires permits, especially panel upgrades, new circuits, and major electrical installations.
We know what documentation the city needs and how to get approvals without delays. This includes understanding Mountain View’s specific requirements for electrical panel upgrades and ensuring all work meets California Electric Code standards. After installation, we coordinate with city inspectors to verify everything meets code so you have properly approved electrical work.
Older Mountain View homes often have electrical panels with insufficient capacity – typically 60 to 100 amps when modern homes need 200 amps to handle today’s electrical demands. This leads to frequent breaker trips, especially when running multiple appliances simultaneously.
Many older homes also have fewer circuits than needed, forcing appliances to share power and creating overload situations. Some homes built before the 1960s still have outdated fuse boxes instead of modern circuit breakers, which don’t provide the same level of safety. We also see homes that need additional outlets to eliminate the need for extension cords and power strips, which can create safety hazards when overloaded.
Yes, we warranty all our electrical work because we stand behind the quality of our services. The specific warranty terms depend on the type of work performed, but we guarantee our workmanship and will return to address any issues related to the electrical work we completed at no additional cost.
This warranty gives you peace of mind knowing that if something goes wrong with our work, we’ll make it right. We use quality electrical materials and follow proper installation procedures to minimize the likelihood of future problems. Our goal is electrical work that lasts and keeps your family safe for years to come.
