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

Situations we see in Scotts Valley
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 Scotts Valley 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 Cruz County
Our restaurant lost the walk-in circuit on a Friday. They came out after close, traced it to a failed feeder lug, and we opened Saturday on time.
Ken A.Commercial repair · Scotts ValleyFlickering through the whole house turned out to be a loose neutral at the service. They found it in under an hour when two other companies had shrugged.
Bill T.Troubleshooting · Scotts ValleyBreaker 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 · Scotts ValleyOutlet & Switch Installation in Scotts Valley — 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 Scotts Valley homes often lack. We check first and tell you before you buy.
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.
Do I need GFCI outlets in my Scotts Valley home?
In kitchens, bathrooms, garages, laundry areas, unfinished basements and anywhere outdoors, yes. If your house predates those requirements it very likely has none.
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 Scotts Valley?
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.
