01 · Panel upgrades

100 A to 200 A, in a day.

The most common job we do in Sunnyvale. A new 200 A main panel, every circuit landed on a new breaker, grounding electrode system brought to current code, and the meter base replaced if PG&E asks for it. We handle the PG&E service-change request and the city permit; you handle nothing.

A finished 200-amp panel with the door open, breakers labeled, conduit bonded and tidy.

On site: 1 day
Power off: About 6 hours
Permit: City of Sunnyvale + PG&E
Lead time: 2–3 weeks (PG&E schedule)
What's included: Load calculation for the house as it is and as you plan it

PG&E service-change application and both site visits

200 A main panel, new breakers, AFCI/GFCI where required

Grounding rods, water-pipe bond, intersystem bonding bridge

Printed panel schedule and labels on every breaker

City final inspection, permit card emailed to you

02 · EV chargers

Level 2 charging on a dedicated circuit.

We install the charger you already bought or supply one, such as a Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint Home Flex, Emporia or Wallbox. Or we install a NEMA 14-50 outlet if you'd rather keep the mobile connector. A load calculation comes first: about a third of our customers find their existing panel can take a 40 A circuit without an upgrade.

On site: Half a day
Circuit: 40–60 A, 240 V, dedicated
Permit: Yes, with final inspection
Lead time: Within a week
What's included: Load calculation and panel check before anything is ordered

Breaker, conductor and conduit sized for the charger's rating

Charger mounted at the height that suits your car's port

Cable hook or retractor, GFCI protection as the code requires

Wi-Fi set-up and a first charge with you watching

Permit, inspection, and the paperwork utilities ask for on rebates

03 · Rewiring

Old wire out, room by room.

We replace both knob-and-tube from the 1920s bungalows near Murphy Avenue and aluminum branch circuits from the 1960s Eichlers. Whole-house or one circuit at a time, with as few wall openings as the attic and crawlspace allow. Every opening is patched and sanded, ready for paint.

On site: 1–3 weeks
Power off: One circuit at a time
Permit: Yes, rough and final
Live in the house?: Yes, usually
What's included: Circuit map of the house before we start, so you know what's on what

New copper NM-B or MC cable, new boxes, new devices

AFCI breakers in bedrooms and living areas, GFCI in wet areas

Smoke and CO alarms interconnected, as the inspector will ask

Drywall patched and textured to match; paint by you or your painter

Rough and final inspections, with a written insurer letter if you need one

04 · Lighting

Layers of light, no flicker.

Recessed LED cans laid out on a plan, not by eye. Pendants over the island on their own dimmer. Under-cabinet strips with the driver hidden in a cabinet. Outside, low-voltage path and uplighting on a timer. We match dimmers to lamps because that's where the flicker comes from.

On site: 1–2 days
Fixtures: Yours or ours
Permit: When a new circuit is added
Color temperature: 2700 K–3000 K, your call
What's included: A lighting plan on your floor plan, with can spacing and switch legs

Dimmer and lamp compatibility checked before we order

Ceiling and wall openings patched; attic work where the ceiling can stay

Low-voltage transformer, cable in trench, fixtures aimed at night

Smart switches (Lutron Caséta or similar) if you want them

Old fixtures taken away

05 · Troubleshooting

Find it, write it down, fix it.

A breaker that trips every few days. Half the bedroom dead. Lights that dim when the dryer starts. A GFCI that won't reset. We bring a tester, a thermal camera and a clamp meter, find the fault, and show you before we fix it. Most repairs happen on the first visit.

Emergencies: 24/7, usually within 2 hours
Diagnosis: In writing, with photos
Repair: Same visit when parts are on the van
What's included: Voltage, continuity and load readings at the panel and the fault

Thermal scan of the panel and suspect devices

A written cause and a fixed quote before any repair starts

Breakers, GFCI/AFCI devices and common receptacles carried on the van

Loose-neutral, backstab and overheated-splice repairs

A follow-up call a week later to confirm it stayed fixed

Not us

What we hand to someone else.

Solar arrays and batteries, commercial tenant improvements, AV and network racks. We know good people for each and will give you their numbers. If your job is one of the five above, tell us what's tripping or call (408) 555-0147.
