Electrician near me in Portola Valley and San Mateo County

The Bay Area has some of the highest rates of EV ownership and home electrification in the country, and many Portola Valley homes were wired long before either existed. A large part of our work in San Mateo 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 Portola Valley addresses get their power from PG&E, and we coordinate service upgrades, meter work and reconnections with them.
