## Electrical work in Berkeley, CA

Most calls we take in Berkeley fall into three groups: something stopped working, something needs adding, or something needs more capacity than the house currently has. Rupert Electrical Solutions covers all three, from a single dead receptacle to a full service upgrade with a new 200 amp panel.

Whatever the job, the sequence is the same: we look at it, we tell you what it will cost, and you decide before any work starts. If it turns out to be smaller than you feared, we say so.

## What Berkeley calls us about

Six of the situations that come up most across Alameda County, and what each one usually turns out to be.

### Two-prong outlets everywhere

No equipment ground means no fault path. Rewiring the branch circuits is the real fix, though GFCI protection is a legitimate interim step in some cases.

Rewiring in Berkeley

### Adding an EV, heat pump or ADU

All of these need a load calculation. If existing demand plus the new load exceeds your service, the upgrade comes first.

Panel upgrade in Berkeley

### Panel is rusted or wet

Water in an enclosure corrodes bus stabs and creates high-resistance connections. Once rust reaches the bus, the panel is done.

Panel upgrade in Berkeley

### Wi-Fi dead spots

More mesh nodes on bad backhaul won't fix it. A CAT6 run to a ceiling access point will, permanently.

Smart home wiring in Berkeley

### Ceiling fan wobbles or the box is loose

Standard boxes are not rated for fan loads. We install a fan-rated brace box, which is the actual fix for a wobble.

Lighting installation in Berkeley

### Only two outlets in the room

Older Berkeley bedrooms were wired for a lamp and a clock. We extend the circuit or run a new one, depending on existing load.

## Why Berkeley calls us

### Answered around the clock

A real dispatcher picks up at 3am, not a voicemail box that gets checked on Monday. Electrical faults get worse while they wait.

### Left clean and labeled

Panels get a legible directory, openings get cut straight and patch-ready, and the drop cloths come out before the tools do.

### Flat price before work starts

You approve a number, then we work. No hourly meter running while a technician looks for parts, and no after-hours surcharge appearing on the invoice.

### Diagnosis before parts

We meter the circuit and find the actual fault. Swapping devices until something works is expensive for you and tells you nothing about why it failed.

## Berkeley service area

We cover every neighborhood in Berkeley plus the surrounding towns, so a nearby address is never a problem.

## What Berkeley customers say

★★★★★

We needed a 200 amp panel before our EV charger install. They did the load calculation, pulled the permit, and had the whole thing done and inspected in a week.

Priya N.Panel upgrade · Berkeley
★★★★★

Hot tub circuit and disconnect. Permit, inspection, everything. Showed up when they said and cleaned up after.

Owen H.Hot tub wiring · Berkeley
★★★★★

Our restaurant lost the walk-in circuit on a Friday. They came out after close, traced it to a failed feeder lug, and we opened Saturday on time.
