Situations we see in Portola Valley
No power in the house
We start at the meter and service entrance, then work in: main lugs, main breaker, feeders, then branch circuits. That order finds the real fault fast instead of guessing at outlets.
Flickering lights
Usually a loose neutral, a failing connection in the panel, or a shared circuit that is overloaded. Whole-house flicker points at the service side and needs same-day attention.
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.
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.

Reviews from San Mateo County
Breaker tripped Sunday night and I got a call back in about ten minutes. Tech found a bad connection in a junction box behind the closet, fixed it that night, and the price was what he said on the phone.
Marcus D.Emergency repair · Portola ValleyAdded 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 · Portola ValleyBought 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.

Do you charge extra for nights and weekends in Portola Valley?
You get the price before we start, so there are no surprise after-hours multipliers added at the end. Call (833) 652-8933 and we will quote the visit up front.
How fast can an emergency electrician get to my house in Portola Valley?
Most emergency calls in Portola Valley get a technician the same hour, and we quote you a real arrival window on the phone rather than a vague promise. Call (833) 652-8933 and the dispatcher will tell you where the nearest van is.
Can you restore power to my Portola Valley business tonight?
Yes. Temporary power, feeder repairs and panel replacements are the bulk of our after-hours commercial work in San Mateo County, and we schedule around your opening hours so the doors stay open.
There is a burning smell near an outlet. What should I do right now?
Turn that circuit off at the panel, unplug anything on it, do not use it again, and call (833) 652-8933. A burning or fishy plastic smell is arcing or overheating insulation, and it is the single most urgent electrical call we take.
My breaker keeps tripping. Is that an emergency?
If it trips once during a storm, reset it. If it trips again immediately, or trips when nothing new is plugged in, stop resetting it and call. Repeated tripping means a fault that is heating something up inside a wall.
