Electrician services in San Mateo

Every service below has its own page for San Mateo, with what is included, typical costs and answers to common questions.

Local electrician in San Mateo for repairs and installations

People call an electrical contractor in San Mateo for two reasons: something has stopped working, or something new needs power. We do both. Every job starts with listening, then testing, then a written price. You will know what we are going to do, what it costs and how long it will take before we pick up a tool.

Residential electrician in San Mateo

Homeowners looking for an affordable electrician in San Mateo tend to want the same things: a fair price, a tidy job and an electrician who explains things. That is how we work, whether we are adding one outlet, installing ceiling fans throughout the house or replacing a breaker box that has reached the end of its life.

Commercial electrician and electrical contractor in San Mateo

Electrical contractors in San Mateo need to be responsive, because a business without power is losing money. Our commercial team handles office electrical installation, restaurant and retail wiring, warehouse lighting and three-phase equipment power, with written scopes and permits handled.

Electrician near me in San Mateo and San Mateo County

The Bay Area has some of the highest rates of EV ownership and home electrification in the country, and many San Mateo 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 San Mateo addresses get their power from PG&E, and we coordinate service upgrades, meter work and reconnections with them.

We cover San Mateo ZIP codes 94401, 94402, 94403 and 94404.
