Electrical work pricing depends on what needs to be done, but you’ll get an upfront quote before any work starts. Simple jobs like outlet installations typically run $150-300, while panel upgrades can range from $1,500-3,500 depending on your home’s needs. Emergency calls may include a service fee, but that gets applied to the repair cost if you choose to move forward. We believe in transparent pricing – no surprises, no hidden fees, no “we found something else” charges after we’ve started working.
Yes, we handle electrical emergencies that can’t wait until regular business hours. Power outages affecting part of your home, burning smells from outlets or panels, sparking switches, or any electrical issue that poses an immediate safety risk. We prioritize emergency calls because electrical problems can quickly become dangerous. When you call for emergency service, we’ll walk you through any immediate safety steps you should take and get someone to your home as quickly as possible to resolve the problem safely.
Absolutely. We’re fully licensed by the California Contractors State License Board to perform electrical work in San Rafael and throughout Marin County. We’re also bonded and insured for your protection. All our electrical work meets California electrical code requirements and passes inspection. You can verify our license status anytime through the CSLB website. Working with unlicensed electricians puts your home, family, and insurance coverage at risk – it’s not worth saving a few dollars upfront when the consequences can be so serious.
If your home still has a fuse box, uses breakers that trip frequently, or was built before 1980, your electrical panel probably needs upgrading. Modern homes use significantly more electricity than older panels were designed to handle. Signs you need an upgrade include lights dimming when you run appliances, not having enough circuits for your electrical needs, or getting shocked when you touch appliances. Panel upgrades also become necessary when adding major appliances, home additions, or electric vehicle charging stations. We can assess your current panel and help you determine if an upgrade makes sense for your situation.
Simple jobs like installing outlets or replacing switches usually take 1-2 hours. More complex work like troubleshooting electrical problems can take 2-4 hours depending on what we find. Panel upgrades typically require a full day, sometimes two days for larger homes or complex installations. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we provide your quote, and we’ll keep you updated if anything changes during the work. Most electrical repairs can be completed the same day, but some jobs require permits or inspections that can extend the timeline.
