## Electrical work in Santa Cruz, CA

Electrical work in Santa Cruz 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 Santa Cruz calls us about

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

### 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 Santa Cruz

### 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 Santa Cruz

### 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 Santa Cruz jobs.

Panel upgrade in Santa Cruz

### 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 Santa Cruz

### Sparking or burning outlet

Kill the circuit at the panel and call. Loose back-stab connections and failed devices arc behind the plate, and arcing is what starts wall fires.

Emergency electrician in Santa Cruz

### No GFCI in the kitchen or bath

Wet-location circuits need it. Adding protection at the first device in the run covers everything downstream.

## Why Santa Cruz calls us

### 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.

### Permits and inspections handled

Panel upgrades, EV circuits and rewires get permitted and inspected. We pull the paperwork and meet the inspector.

### 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.

## Santa Cruz service area

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

## What Santa Cruz customers say

★★★★★

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

Hugo S.Outlet installation · Santa Cruz
★★★★★

Six recessed lights in the living room and a dimmer that finally doesn't buzz. They laid the whole layout out on the ceiling with tape first, which I appreciated.

Tom R.Lighting installation · Santa Cruz

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