## What Capitola calls us about

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

### 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 Capitola

### 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.

### No GFCI in the kitchen or bath

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

Outlets and switches in Capitola

### 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 Capitola

### One outlet quit working

We check for a tripped GFCI upstream, then open the run and look for a failed back-stab or loose neutral. It is almost always a connection, not the outlet itself.

Electrical repair in Capitola

### Thermostat needs a C-wire

Common in older homes. We pull a new thermostat cable rather than relying on power-stealing adapters that cause intermittent faults.

## Why Capitola calls us

### 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.

### 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.

## What Capitola customers say

★★★★★

Standby generator install. They sized it to what we actually use rather than the biggest unit, then walked me through the transfer switch and the exercise cycle.

Renee B.Generator · Capitola
★★★★★

Bought a 1948 house with cloth wiring. They phased the rewire so we always had power in half the house, and gave us paperwork our insurer accepted.

Sofia M.Rewiring · Capitola
★★★★★

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.
