Old or damaged wiring behind your walls can quietly turn into a real safety problem, which is exactly where our electrical rewiring service comes in. We handle whole-home and partial jobs, swap out knob-and-tube and aluminum wiring, replace service entrances and meter sockets, and take care of grounding, bonding, and any code corrections along the way.
Our services for electrical panel upgrades cover main panel replacements, subpanel installs, fuse box swaps, meter upgrades, and added capacity, all done to code and coordinated with the utility company. Giving your property more electrical headroom means you can add appliances, a charger, or a remodel down the road without overloading the system.
Power outages are just part of life around the Santa Cruz Mountains, and a good backup plan keeps your home running when the grid goes dark. Through our generator services, we install whole-home and standby generators, wire up transfer switches and interlock kits, handle hookups, and handle troubleshooting and maintenance once everything is in place.
Charging your EV at home should be quick and hassle-free, and our EV charger installation service makes that happen. We set up Level 2 and Tesla chargers, run dedicated EV circuits, run load calculations and panel capacity checks, and handle the permits so everything is safe and up to code.
Plugging too many things into one overworked circuit is a fast track to tripped breakers and frustration. Our circuit installation and dedicated circuits service give power-hungry items their own line, from kitchen, laundry, and garage circuits to hot tubs, spas, pool equipment, and HVAC systems.
Knowing what's going on inside your walls brings real peace of mind, especially in an older home or one you just bought. Our electrical inspections and safety services include home and real estate inspections, safety audits, code compliance reviews, smoke and carbon monoxide detector installation, whole-home surge protection, and ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) and arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) upgrades.
Starting fresh on a new build or opening up walls for a remodel is the perfect time to get the electrical done right. We provide new construction and remodel wiring services for new and custom homes, accessory dwelling units, garages, shops, home additions, and kitchen and bathroom remodels, plus design consultations to plan it all out.
Keeping a business up and running depends on electrical that works as hard as you do. Our commercial electrical services cover rewiring, tenant improvements, service upgrades, panel installations, lighting retrofits, dedicated equipment circuits, troubleshooting and repairs, code corrections, and metal-clad and armored cable work.
Our company provides electrical services throughout Scotts Valley, Santa Cruz, Watsonville, Aptos, Capitola, Soquel, Live Oak, Felton, Boulder Creek, Ben Lomond, and many nearby communities.
Old wiring has a way of hiding its problems until something goes wrong, whether it's a knob-and-tube setup from decades ago or aluminum wiring well past its prime. Our rewiring work covers whole-home and partial jobs, knob-and-tube and aluminum replacement, circuit additions, service entrance and meter socket replacement, and grounding and bonding upgrades that keep your home safe. Any code corrections that come up get handled in the same visit, so nothing gets left half-finished.
A panel that buzzes, trips, or struggles to keep up with a modern household usually needs more than a quick fix. We replace outdated main panels and fuse boxes, install subpanels, upgrade your electrical service to increase capacity, and coordinate with the utility to ensure the entire system complies with code. That extra headroom means you can add appliances, a charger, or a home addition down the line without worrying the panel will choke.

An electrician in Scotts Valley, CA, typically installs, repairs, upgrades, and inspects electrical systems for homes and businesses. That can include wiring, electrical panels, generators, EV chargers, dedicated circuits, lighting, safety devices, and code-related fixes that help your property run safely and reliably.
Call a licensed electrician when you notice flickering lights, buzzing sounds, warm outlets, burning smells, frequently tripped breakers, outdated wiring, or anything that makes your electrical system feel unsafe. Electrical work can get risky fast, so bringing in a pro helps protect your home, your equipment, and the people inside.
Your home may need electrical rewiring if it has knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum wiring, old cloth-covered wiring, ungrounded outlets, frequent breaker trips, or rooms that can't support modern appliances and devices. A licensed electrician can inspect the system, explain what looks outdated or unsafe, and recommend whole-home or partial rewiring when needed.
An electrical panel upgrade may be needed if your panel is outdated, overloaded, damaged, full, or unable to support newer electrical needs such as EV charging, generator equipment, remodels, additions, HVAC systems, or large appliances. Upgrading the panel can increase your home's capacity and help your electrical system handle daily use without constant breaker trips.
Electrical inspections help identify hidden problems before they become bigger safety concerns, especially in older homes, recently purchased homes, remodels, or properties with frequent electrical issues. During an inspection, an electrician can check wiring, panels, breakers, grounding, outlets, GFCI protection, AFCI protection, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and other important parts of the system.
