## What El Cerrito calls us about

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

### Half the outlets in a room dead

Classic mid-run failure. We split the circuit and work from both ends until the dead leg shows up, then repair the joint properly.

### No space left in the panel

Double-tapped breakers and tandem cheaters are a sign the panel is full. A 200 amp replacement gives you 40 or more spaces and room for the next ten years.

Panel upgrade in El Cerrito

### 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 El Cerrito

### Existing generator won't start on outage

Usually the transfer switch, the battery or the exercise routine, not the engine. We diagnose the switching first.

### Detached garage with a small feeder

Often the existing feeder can't carry a charger. A new subpanel and feeder is the durable answer.

EV charger installation in El Cerrito

### 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 El Cerrito calls us

### 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.

### 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.

### 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 El Cerrito customers say

★★★★★

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

Owen H.Hot tub wiring · El Cerrito
★★★★★

Flickering through the whole house turned out to be a loose neutral at the service. They found it in under an hour when two other companies had shrugged.

Bill T.Troubleshooting · El Cerrito
★★★★★

Added outlets to three bedrooms and a weatherproof one out back. Cuts were small, patches were tidy, and everything got labeled at the panel.
