## Electrical work in Atherton, CA

Electrical work in Atherton covers a wide spread of housing. Postwar homes with two-prong outlets and no ground, seventies additions on undersized panels, and new builds where the only complaint is that nobody put an outlet where the desk went. Rupert Electrical Solutions handles all of it, and quotes the job before starting it.

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 Atherton calls us about

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

### Zinsco or Federal Pacific panel

These breakers have a documented history of failing to trip under fault. Replacement is the only real remedy, and it is one of our most common Atherton jobs.

Panel upgrade in Atherton

### Need power on a kitchen island

Islands need receptacles, and we can bring them up cleanly through a cabinet or a pop-up device without tearing up the counter.

Outlets and switches in Atherton

### 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.

Generator installation in Atherton

### Equipment needs a new feeder

New machinery often needs its own three-phase circuit and disconnect. We size it, land it and coordinate the shutdown for a slow hour.

Commercial electrical in Atherton

### 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 Atherton

### Breaker keeps tripping

A breaker doing its job means something downstream is pulling too much current or shorting. We meter the circuit, isolate the fault and repair it rather than swapping the breaker and hoping.

## Why Atherton 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.

### 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.

### 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.

## What Atherton customers say

★★★★★

Kitchen breaker kept popping whenever we ran the microwave and kettle. They put in a dedicated circuit instead of just telling us to use one appliance at a time.

Alicia G.Dedicated circuit · Atherton
★★★★★

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.

Ken A.Commercial repair · Atherton
★★★★★

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.
