MAIN 200AElectrical emergency in Santa Cruz? Sparking outlet, burning smell, no power. Turn the circuit off and call.
(833) 652-8933Electrical work in Santa Cruz, CA
Electrical work in Santa Cruz covers a wide spread of housing. Postwar homes with two-prong outlets and no ground, seventies additions on undersized panels, and new builds where the only complaint is that nobody put an outlet where the desk went. Rupert Electrical Solutions handles all of it, and quotes the job before starting it.
Whatever the job, the sequence is the same: we look at it, we tell you what it will cost, and you decide before any work starts. If it turns out to be smaller than you feared, we say so.

Typical circuit CAT6What Santa Cruz calls us about
Six of the situations that come up most across Santa Cruz County, and what each one usually turns out to be.
Equipment needs a new feeder
New machinery often needs its own three-phase circuit and disconnect. We size it, land it and coordinate the shutdown for a slow hour.
Detached garage with a small feeder
Often the existing feeder can't carry a charger. A new subpanel and feeder is the durable answer.
Zinsco or Federal Pacific panel
These breakers have a documented history of failing to trip under fault. Replacement is the only real remedy, and it is one of our most common Santa Cruz jobs.
Doorbell chimes weakly or not at all
Video doorbells need more power than a 1960s transformer delivers. Replacing it is a small job with an immediate result.
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.
No GFCI in the kitchen or bath
Wet-location circuits need it. Adding protection at the first device in the run covers everything downstream.
Why Santa Cruz calls us
Diagnosis before parts
We meter the circuit and find the actual fault. Swapping devices until something works is expensive for you and tells you nothing about why it failed.
Flat price before work starts
You approve a number, then we work. No hourly meter running while a technician looks for parts, and no after-hours surcharge appearing on the invoice.
Permits and inspections handled
Panel upgrades, EV circuits and rewires get permitted and inspected. We pull the paperwork and meet the inspector.
Left clean and labeled
Panels get a legible directory, openings get cut straight and patch-ready, and the drop cloths come out before the tools do.
Santa Cruz service area
We cover every neighborhood in Santa Cruz plus the surrounding towns, so a nearby address is never a problem.

What Santa Cruz customers say
Added outlets to three bedrooms and a weatherproof one out back. Cuts were small, patches were tidy, and everything got labeled at the panel.
