Local electrician in Santa Cruz for repairs and installations

People call an electrical contractor in Santa Cruz 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 Santa Cruz

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.

Electrician near me in Santa Cruz and Santa Cruz County

The marine layer that keeps Santa Cruz cool is hard on electrical equipment. Moisture and salt corrode outdoor panels, meter bases, boxes and fixtures, and older beach-area and downtown homes in Santa Cruz County often combine that wear with original wiring. We use corrosion-resistant materials and seal exterior work carefully.

Most Santa Cruz addresses get their power from PG&E, and we coordinate service upgrades, meter work and reconnections with them.

We cover Santa Cruz ZIP codes 95060, 95062, 95064 and 95065.
