(833) 652-8933Electrical work in Berkeley, CA
Most calls we take in Berkeley 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.

Typical circuit CAT6What Berkeley calls us about
Six of the situations that come up most across Alameda County, and what each one usually turns out to be.
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.
Adding an EV, heat pump or ADU
All of these need a load calculation. If existing demand plus the new load exceeds your service, the upgrade comes first.
Panel is rusted or wet
Water in an enclosure corrodes bus stabs and creates high-resistance connections. Once rust reaches the bus, the panel is done.
Wi-Fi dead spots
More mesh nodes on bad backhaul won't fix it. A CAT6 run to a ceiling access point will, permanently.
Ceiling fan wobbles or the box is loose
Standard boxes are not rated for fan loads. We install a fan-rated brace box, which is the actual fix for a wobble.
Only two outlets in the room
Older Berkeley bedrooms were wired for a lamp and a clock. We extend the circuit or run a new one, depending on existing load.
Why Berkeley calls us
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.
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.
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.
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.
Berkeley service area
We cover every neighborhood in Berkeley plus the surrounding towns, so a nearby address is never a problem.

What Berkeley customers say
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.
