Electrician near me in Oakland and Alameda County
The Bay Area has some of the highest rates of EV ownership and home electrification in the country, and many Oakland homes were wired long before either existed. A large part of our work in Alameda County is helping older electrical systems catch up: more capacity at the panel, grounded circuits in place of two-wire cable, and protection that meets current code.
Most Oakland addresses get their power from PG&E, and we coordinate service upgrades, meter work and reconnections with them.
We cover Oakland ZIP codes 94601, 94602, 94603, 94605, 94606, 94607, 94609 and 94610 and the rest of the city's ZIP codes.
