An electrical contractor that knows Berkeley, Alameda County
Homes around Berkeley span more than a century of building, from pre-war houses with knob-and-tube remnants and 60-amp services to 1960s ranch homes and new all-electric construction. That mix means the same street can need a simple outlet repair at one address and a full service upgrade at the next.
Bay Area households are adding load quickly: EV chargers, heat pump water heaters, induction ranges and home batteries. Older 100-amp panels in Berkeley often can't absorb that without a load calculation and, sometimes, an upgrade. Wind-driven safety shutoffs in the hills also make backup power a common request.

What customers say
After two long outages we had a standby generator put in. They sized it properly instead of pushing the biggest unit, and showed us how the transfer switch works.
I called about one dead bathroom outlet. The electrician found a failed GFCI upstream, replaced it, tested every outlet on the circuit and was gone in under an hour.
Three ceiling fans installed where there were only light fixtures before. They swapped in fan-rated boxes and balanced all three. Quiet and solid.
