Situations we see in Los Gatos
No GFCI in the kitchen or bath
Wet-location circuits need it. Adding protection at the first device in the run covers everything downstream.
Outlet won't hold a plug
Worn contacts. A loose receptacle arcs under load, and replacement is a ten-minute job worth doing immediately.
Only two outlets in the room
Older Los Gatos bedrooms were wired for a lamp and a clock. We extend the circuit or run a new one, depending on existing load.
Need power on a kitchen island
Islands need receptacles, and we can bring them up cleanly through a cabinet or a pop-up device without tearing up the counter.

Reviews from Santa Cruz County
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 · Los GatosBought 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 · Los GatosZinsco panel replaced. Straight quote, one day of work, and they handled the utility disconnect scheduling so I didn't have to call anyone.

Can you install smart switches and outlets?
Yes. The catch is that many smart devices need a neutral in the switch box, which older Los Gatos homes often lack. We check first and tell you before you buy.
Do I need GFCI outlets in my Los Gatos home?
In kitchens, bathrooms, garages, laundry areas, unfinished basements and anywhere outdoors, yes. If your house predates those requirements it very likely has none.
Can you add an outlet on an outside wall?
Yes, with a weather-resistant receptacle and an in-use cover. That is the correct assembly for a location exposed to rain or sprinklers.
What is a dedicated circuit and do I need one?
It is a circuit serving one appliance only. Microwaves, window AC units, space heaters and shop tools all want one, and it is the permanent fix for a breaker that trips whenever two things run at once.
How much does it cost to add an outlet in Los Gatos?
A new receptacle on an existing nearby circuit is the low end. Cost rises if we have to run a new home run from the panel or open finished walls. Call (833) 652-8933 and we will quote your specific spot.
