Your local electrician in Los Altos, Santa Clara County
Homes around Los Altos 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 Los Altos 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.
ZIP codes we serve in Los Altos: 94022, 94023, 94024.

Questions about hiring an electrician in Los Altos
Do you handle both residential and commercial work in Los Altos?
We do. See residential electrician services for homes and rentals, and commercial electrician services for offices, retail, restaurants and warehouses.
How much does an electrician cost in Los Altos, CA?
It depends on the job. Repairs and small installations are quoted as a fixed price on site before work begins. Larger projects such as panels, rewiring and generators get a written, itemized quote after a site visit.
Which areas around Los Altos do you cover?
All of Los Altos plus nearby Stanford, Mountain View and Portola Valley, and the rest of Santa Clara County. If you are not sure whether you're in range, call (888) 633-7804 and ask.
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Los Altos?
Many jobs do. Panel upgrades, new circuits, rewiring, EV chargers and generators usually need a permit and inspection through the local building department. Like-for-like repairs often don't. We tell you up front and handle the paperwork when one is needed.
Can you help with an older home in Los Altos?
Yes. Start with an electrical inspection if you're unsure what the house needs. From there we can repair, upgrade in stages or plan a full rewire.
In customers' words
Half the house went dark at 9 pm and an outlet smelled hot. They talked me through shutting off the breaker and had someone at the door that night. He fixed a burned connection and checked the rest of the circuit.
They installed our Level 2 charger in the garage and explained the load calculation in plain English. Clean conduit run, no mess, and the price matched the quote.
Twelve recessed lights and two dimmers in the living room, done in a day with no patching needed. The layout advice alone was worth the call.
