Panel upgrades, whole-house rewiring, outlet installation, electrical inspections, and emergency repairs. We handle the electrical work that keeps Sausalito homes safe and functional.
Many Sausalito homes were built when electrical demands were much lower. Your 1960s panel wasn’t designed for today’s electronics, appliances, and charging needs. We upgrade systems to handle modern life safely.
Our most requested services include electrical panel changeouts, service panel upgrades, meter panel installations, and whole-house rewires. These aren’t just electrical upgrades—they’re safety investments that protect your family and your property value.
If your lights dim when you turn on appliances, your breakers trip frequently, or you have a panel from the 1960s-70s, you likely need an upgrade. Many Sausalito homes have panels that can’t handle modern electrical loads safely.
Look for these warning signs: hot outlets, burning smells, aluminum wiring, or a panel with fewer than 100 amps. Homes built before 1980 often have outdated systems that create fire hazards.
We provide free electrical inspections to assess your panel’s condition and capacity. Most Sausalito homes benefit from upgrading to 200-amp service to handle today’s electrical demands safely.
Panel upgrade costs in Sausalito typically range from $4,500 to $9,500 for overhead service, depending on your home’s specific requirements and the panel size you need. Underground service upgrades cost more due to additional complexity.
The final cost depends on factors like your current panel condition, whether we need to upgrade your meter, accessibility of the electrical room, and local permit requirements. We provide upfront pricing so you know exactly what you’re paying.
Most Sausalito homeowners choose 200-amp panels to handle modern appliances, electric vehicle charging, and future electrical needs. The investment pays for itself through improved safety and increased home value.
Yes, most electrical work in Sausalito requires permits, especially panel upgrades, rewiring, and new circuit installation. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service.
Permits ensure your electrical work meets current safety codes and gets properly inspected. This protects you legally and ensures the work is done safely. Unpermitted electrical work can cause problems when you sell your home.
We’re familiar with Sausalito’s permitting process and work directly with local inspectors. You don’t need to worry about paperwork or scheduling inspections—we manage the entire process from start to finish.
Complete rewiring typically takes 3-7 days for most Sausalito homes, depending on the house size, accessibility, and scope of work. We work efficiently while maintaining quality and safety standards.
The timeline depends on factors like your home’s age, current wiring condition, number of circuits needed, and whether walls need to be opened. We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you informed throughout the process.
We coordinate with you to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Power is restored to essential circuits each evening so you’re not left without electricity overnight during the rewiring process.
We’ve been family-owned since 2001, focusing on professionalism that many contractors skip. Our electricians wear uniforms, use shoe covers, keep clean vehicles, and always clean up completely after finishing work.
We take time to diagnose problems properly instead of rushing to expensive solutions. You get multiple repair options with upfront pricing, plus a two-year warranty covering parts and labor on all our work.
We’re licensed, insured, and Better Business Bureau recommended. Most importantly, we’re local contractors who understand Sausalito’s electrical challenges and building requirements. We’re here when you need us, not just when it’s convenient for us.
Yes, we provide emergency electrical service throughout Sausalito. Electrical emergencies like power outages, sparking outlets, or burning smells require immediate professional attention for safety reasons.
We respond quickly to electrical emergencies because we understand that electrical problems can be dangerous and disruptive. Our electricians carry fully stocked vehicles with common parts and diagnostic equipment.
Call us immediately if you smell burning, see sparks, have outlets that feel hot, or experience sudden power loss. Don’t attempt DIY repairs on emergency electrical issues—they require professional expertise to resolve safely.
