Electrical Services in Gilroy

Whether it's a simple outlet repair or a complex commercial build-out, our electricians deliver professional results every time.

Generator Installation

A properly installed standby generator protects your family, your food supply, and your medical equipment. We pull all permits and ensure code-compliant connections every time.

Carbon Monoxide Detector Installation

Carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless, making professional detector placement critical. Properly installed CO detectors give your family early warning before dangerous levels build up.

Recessed Lighting Installation

We map out fixture placement for optimal light coverage, cut precise ceiling openings, run new circuits as needed, and install IC-rated housings that are safe for insulated ceilings.

Electrical Repair Services

From flickering lights and dead outlets to tripping breakers and buzzing switches, fast electrical repairs restore your home to safe, reliable operation and give you peace of mind.

Security Camera Wiring

We run Cat6 or coax cable from each camera location to your DVR or NVR, mount cameras at optimal angles, install weatherproof junction boxes, and power everything through a centralized system.

Ceiling Fan Installation

Ceiling fans involve heavy fixtures and live wiring above your head. Our licensed electricians ensure every connection is secure, every mount is load-rated, and every fan runs safely.

Ring Doorbell Installation

Improper doorbell wiring can damage your transformer or void your warranty. Our electricians verify voltage, test connections, and ensure your Ring operates safely and reliably.

Landscape Lighting Installation

Outdoor wiring must withstand moisture, temperature swings, and soil contact. Our electricians use UL-listed wet-rated fixtures, GFCI-protected circuits, and proper burial depths to ensure lasting safety.

Electrical Inspection

We examine your panel, wiring, outlets, switches, grounding system, and GFCI protection room by room, then deliver a detailed written report with findings and recommended corrections.

Indoor Lighting Installation

We remove old fixtures, upgrade the electrical box if needed, connect and mount the new fixture securely, and test dimmer compatibility so your lights perform exactly as expected.

EV Charger Installation

We assess your panel capacity, install a dedicated 240V circuit, mount the charging unit in your garage or driveway, and handle all permits and inspections from start to finish.

Outlet Installation

Add outlets exactly where you need them and eliminate extension cord clutter. New outlets improve convenience, reduce fire hazards, and increase your home value.

Circuit Breaker Repair

We test the suspect breaker with calibrated equipment, check for loose bus connections and signs of arcing, replace the faulty breaker with a matching UL-listed unit, and load-test the circuit.

Electrical Troubleshooting

Stop guessing why your power is acting up. Professional electrical troubleshooting pinpoints hidden problems fast, saving you time and preventing damage to your home and devices.

Commercial Electrician Services

Commercial electrical work requires strict code compliance, proper load calculations, and coordination with inspectors and general contractors. Our licensed commercial electricians deliver permitted, inspected, and insured work on every project.

Smoke Detector Installation

Working smoke detectors cut your risk of dying in a home fire nearly in half. Hardwired, interconnected units alert your entire household the moment smoke is detected anywhere.

Electrical Installation Services

We review your project requirements, pull necessary permits, install wiring and devices using commercial-grade materials, and schedule the final inspection to close out the permit properly.

Electrical Panel Upgrade

We disconnect the utility feed, swap your outdated panel for a modern load center, re-land every circuit on correctly rated breakers, and coordinate the final inspection with your municipality.

Whole House Surge Protector

A whole-house surge protector shields every appliance, device, and electronic system in your home from voltage spikes. One device at the panel protects thousands of dollars in equipment.

Hot Tub / Pool Electrical Wiring

We install a dedicated 240V circuit from your panel to the equipment pad, wire the GFCI disconnect within sight of the unit, bond all metal components, and verify ground fault protection.

Electrical Wiring & Rewiring

Homes built before 1980 often have degraded insulation, undersized circuits, or knob-and-tube wiring that insurance companies flag as unacceptable. Our licensed electricians bring your wiring up to current NEC standards.

Smart Home Electrical

Smart devices need proper wiring to function reliably. Many older homes lack neutral wires in switch boxes, causing flickering or device failure. Our electricians verify and upgrade wiring so your smart home works right.

Aluminum Wiring Replacement

We carefully remove aluminum branch circuit wiring, pull new copper conductors through your existing pathways, terminate every connection at outlets, switches, and the panel, and restore your walls.
