Your lights work when you flip the switch. Your outlets don’t spark or feel hot to the touch. Your circuit breakers stop tripping every time you run the dishwasher and microwave together.
That’s what proper electrical work looks like. No more wondering if that flickering light is going to cause a fire. No more resetting breakers or dealing with outlets that barely hold a plug.
You get electrical systems that work the way they should—safely, efficiently, and without the constant worry that something’s about to go wrong.
We’ve been handling San Rafael’s electrical needs for over two decades. We’re not the new guys trying to figure things out—we’re the team that’s seen every type of electrical problem these older Marin County homes can throw at us.
Our electricians wear uniforms, use shoe covers, and clean up after every job. We show up when we say we will and explain what we’re doing in plain English, not technical jargon that leaves you confused.
We’re Better Business Bureau accredited and fully licensed with the California Contractors State License Board. Every job comes with a two-year warranty on parts and labor because we stand behind our work.
First, we show up on time for your appointment. Our electrician will listen to what’s happening and take a thorough look at your electrical system—not just the obvious problem area.
We’ll diagnose what’s actually wrong and explain it in terms that make sense. Then we’ll give you options. Sometimes there’s a simple fix, sometimes you need a bigger solution, but you’ll know exactly what you’re dealing with before any work starts.
Once you give us the go-ahead, we get to work. We use quality materials, follow all safety codes, and clean up when we’re done. You’ll know the job is finished correctly, and it’ll stay that way.

We handle everything from basic outlet repairs to complete electrical panel upgrades. Panel changeouts, whole-house rewiring, circuit installations, lighting upgrades—if it involves electricity in your home, we do it.
San Rafael’s older homes often need electrical updates to handle modern appliances and technology. We’ve upgraded countless Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels that are known fire hazards. We’ve rewired homes with knob-and-tube wiring that’s decades past its prime.
We also install EV charging stations, backup generators, and smart home systems. Whether you’re dealing with an emergency or planning an upgrade, we have the experience to handle it safely and correctly.
Electrical panel upgrades in San Rafael typically run between $850 to $4,000, depending on the amperage and complexity of the installation. A straightforward 100-amp to 200-amp upgrade usually costs around $3,000.
The final price depends on factors like whether your service is overhead or underground, if we need to relocate the panel, and what additional electrical work is required. Underground service upgrades cost more because of the trenching involved.
We provide upfront pricing before any work begins, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprises, no hidden fees.
Not necessarily. Panel upgrades and house rewiring are two separate projects, though they sometimes go together.
If your existing wiring is in good condition—modern NM cable that’s properly sized and insulated—we can simply connect it to the new panel. But if you have old knob-and-tube wiring, cloth-insulated wiring, or undersized circuits, a complete rewire makes sense for safety and functionality.
We’ll inspect your existing wiring during the panel assessment and let you know what we recommend. Many San Rafael homes built in the 1950s and 1960s benefit from rewiring, but it’s not automatically required just because you’re upgrading the panel.
Circuit breakers that trip frequently, lights that flicker or dim when you turn on appliances, outlets that feel warm or don’t hold plugs securely, and burning smells near electrical components are all red flags.
You might also notice your energy bills creeping up—old electrical systems are inefficient and waste power. If you’re using extension cords regularly because you don’t have enough outlets, or if your home was built before 1980 and hasn’t had electrical updates, it’s time for an inspection.
Don’t ignore these warning signs. Electrical problems don’t fix themselves, and they can become dangerous quickly. A quick inspection can identify issues before they become expensive emergencies.
Most electrical panel replacements take 6 to 8 hours to complete. We typically start in the morning and have your power restored by late afternoon.
The timeline can vary depending on the complexity of your installation. If we’re upgrading from overhead to underground service, or if there are complications with the existing wiring, it might take longer.
We coordinate with PG&E for the power shutoff and restoration, and we’ll keep you informed throughout the process. You won’t be without power any longer than necessary.
