Common Electrical Projects in San Jose Homes

Electrical Panel Upgrades

Many older San Jose homes still have 100-amp or even 60-amp electrical panels that can't handle modern electrical demands. If you're adding solar panels, installing an EV charger, or simply running out of circuit breaker space, a panel upgrade to 200 amps is essential. Our electricians handle panel upgrades throughout San Jose, coordinating with PG&E for smooth installation.

EV Charger Installation for San Jose Drivers

San Jose has one of the highest EV adoption rates in the country. Whether you drive a Tesla, Rivian, Chevy Bolt, or any electric vehicle, we can install a Level 2 home charger. We're Tesla Certified Installers and can also install ChargePoint, JuiceBox, and other universal chargers. Most installations include a panel upgrade assessment to ensure your home can handle the additional load.

Solar Panel Installation

San Jose's sunny climate makes it ideal for solar energy. We design and install complete solar systems using premium equipment from Tesla, Enphase, and FranklinWH. Take advantage of PG&E net metering to dramatically reduce your electricity bills. Many San Jose homeowners pair solar with battery storage for backup power during outages.

Whole-House Rewiring

Older San Jose homes (pre-1970s) often need complete rewiring to meet modern safety standards. We handle whole-house rewiring projects, replacing outdated knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring with modern copper wiring, GFCI protection, and AFCI breakers.
