Situations we see in Novato
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.
Outlet won't hold a plug
Worn contacts. A loose receptacle arcs under load, and replacement is a ten-minute job worth doing immediately.
No GFCI in the kitchen or bath
Wet-location circuits need it. Adding protection at the first device in the run covers everything downstream.
Only two outlets in the room
Older Novato bedrooms were wired for a lamp and a clock. We extend the circuit or run a new one, depending on existing load.

Reviews from Marin County
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 · NovatoHot tub circuit and disconnect. Permit, inspection, everything. Showed up when they said and cleaned up after.
Owen H.Hot tub wiring · NovatoAdded 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 · NovatoOutlet & Switch Installation in Novato — questions
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.
How much does it cost to add an outlet in Novato?
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.
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.
Do I need GFCI outlets in my Novato 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 install smart switches and outlets?
Yes. The catch is that many smart devices need a neutral in the switch box, which older Novato homes often lack. We check first and tell you before you buy.
