## Electrical work in Portola Valley, CA

Most calls we take in Portola Valley 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 Portola Valley calls us about

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

### Doorbell chimes weakly or not at all

Video doorbells need more power than a 1960s transformer delivers. Replacing it is a small job with an immediate result.

Smart home wiring in Portola Valley

### Insurance flagged knob and tube

Carriers in San Mateo County increasingly require removal. We document what was replaced so you have something to send the underwriter.

Rewiring in Portola Valley

### Lighting bill is too high

High bay and troffer LED retrofits are the fastest payback in a commercial building, and they usually improve light levels at the same time.

### 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 Portola Valley

### New LEDs flicker or buzz

The dimmer and the driver are mismatched. Swapping to a compatible ELV or forward-phase dimmer usually ends it immediately.

### Not enough service capacity

Either upgrade the service, or install a load management device that throttles the charger when the house is busy. Both are real options and we price both.

## Why Portola Valley calls us

### One company for the whole job

Repairs, panels, generators, EV charging, lighting and low voltage under one number, so you are not coordinating three trades.

### 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.

### 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.

### 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.

## What Portola Valley customers say

★★★★★

Warehouse high bay retrofit to LED. Did it over a weekend so we never stopped shipping, and the place is twice as bright.

Greg L.Warehouse lighting · Portola Valley
★★★★★

Tesla Wall Connector in the garage, clean conduit run, done in an afternoon. They talked me out of a panel upgrade I didn't actually need.

Devon W.EV charger · Portola Valley
★★★★★

GFCI in the bathroom kept tripping. They found real leakage in an old fixture rather than just replacing the GFCI and calling it done.
