MAIN 200AOutlet & Switch Installation in Mountain View, CA
Extension cords under rugs and power strips daisy-chained behind the sofa are the two most common things we find in Mountain View homes, and both trace back to the same problem: not enough outlets in the right places.

Situations we see in Mountain View
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.
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 Mountain View bedrooms were wired for a lamp and a clock. We extend the circuit or run a new one, depending on existing load.

Reviews from Santa Clara County
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 · Mountain ViewWe 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.
Priya N.Panel upgrade · Mountain ViewSmart switches wouldn't work because there was no neutral. They pulled one, got everything on Lutron, and set up the scenes before leaving.
Chantal P.Smart home wiring · Mountain ViewOutlet & Switch Installation in Mountain View — questions
Can you install smart switches and outlets?
Yes. The catch is that many smart devices need a neutral in the switch box, which older Mountain View homes often lack. We check first and tell you before you buy.
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 Mountain View?
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.
Do I need GFCI outlets in my Mountain View 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.
