Typical circuit CAT6What East Palo Alto calls us about
Six of the situations that come up most across San Mateo County, and what each one usually turns out to be.
New LEDs flicker or buzz
The dimmer and the driver are mismatched. Swapping to a compatible ELV or forward-phase dimmer usually ends it immediately.
Smart switch has no neutral
Older East Palo Alto switch loops carry no neutral. We either pull one, relocate the switch leg, or specify a no-neutral device that works with your fixture.
Not sure what size to buy
We meter and calculate rather than estimate. Most East Palo Alto homes land between 14kW and 26kW depending on AC, well pumps and electric ranges.
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.
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.
Kitchen has dark counters
Overhead cans light the floor, not the work surface. Under-cabinet lighting fixes the shadow your body casts when you stand at the counter.
Why East Palo Alto 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.
Permits and inspections handled
Panel upgrades, EV circuits and rewires get permitted and inspected. We pull the paperwork and meet the inspector.

What East Palo Alto 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 · East Palo AltoSmart switches wouldn't work because there was no neutral. They pulled one, got everything on Lutron, and set up the scenes before leaving.
