Why Chico calls us
Every circuit we touch gets labelled at the panel, and every hole we open gets closed. You should be able to read your own panel a year later.
Single outlets through three-phase machine hook-ups, with commercial work scheduled nights and weekends so your floor stays open.
The same line takes routine bookings and 3am emergencies. No answering service that takes a message and calls you back next business day.
You get the number for the work described before any tools come out. If the scope changes we stop and tell you what changed and what it costs.
Panel upgrades, rewires and service work get permitted and inspected as part of the job, with the utility coordinated on our end.
Intermittent faults get traced to the actual failure point. We would rather spend an hour finding it than sell you three parts that were never the problem.
Tell us what is happening and where. Emergencies get triaged on the phone — sometimes the first thing we do is tell you which breaker to shut off before we arrive.
We open the panel, test the affected circuits and tell you what is actually wrong, including the parts you would rather not hear.
One number for the work described, before it starts. Options where there are options — the repair now versus the replacement that stops it recurring.
We do the job, label the circuits, clean the space and walk you through what changed and what to watch for.
Reviews
Old fuse box, 60 amp service, and a kitchen remodel booked in six weeks. They handled the utility coordination and the inspection so I did not have to.
Smart switches in a 1970s house with no neutrals anywhere. They ran neutrals to nine boxes and everything works from the app and from the wall.
Straightforward quote, no upsell, showed up when they said. Added four outlets and a dedicated circuit for the freezer in half a day.
Questions
Three common causes: too much load on one circuit, a short somewhere on the run, or a failing breaker. A breaker that trips instantly on reset usually means a short and should not be reset repeatedly. Call (888) 592-6466 and we will trace it.
Both. Residential work covers repairs, remodels, rewires and installations. Commercial work covers offices, retail, restaurants and warehouses in Chico, and we schedule it outside your trading hours where we can.
It is not automatically dangerous, but it is a limit. Fuse boxes cap what you can add, insurers increasingly ask about them, and replacements get harder to source. Most Chico homeowners upgrade when they add an EV charger, an AC unit or a kitchen.
Yes, including knob and tube and aluminium branch-circuit replacement. We rewire Chico homes in stages so you keep power in the rooms you are living in, and we work with your schedule rather than shutting the house down for a week.
Yes. Our Chico emergency line is answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays. Call (888) 592-6466 for no power, sparking outlets, burning smells, breakers that will not reset or any electrical fault you do not want to leave overnight.
Routine repairs in Chico are usually same-day or next-morning. Emergency calls are dispatched immediately and we give you an honest arrival window on the phone rather than a vague four-hour block.
Small jobs such as outlet or switch installation are typically a flat price. Larger work like a panel upgrade or a rewire is quoted after we look at the existing service. Either way you get the number in writing before the work starts, and it does not move unless the scope does.
