Scope of work
Whether you searched for emergency electrician Menlo Park, 24 hour electrician Menlo Park or simply electrician near me, this is the crew that turns up. We work across Menlo Park and the neighbouring California towns, and we give you the price for the described work before anything starts.
How it goes
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
Two EVs, one 100 amp panel, and three other companies who said it could not be done. Ascot did the load calc, upgraded the service and put in load-sharing chargers. Both cars charge overnight now.
Our 1948 place still had knob and tube in the attic. They rewired it in stages so we never lost power to the bedrooms, and patched better than the last contractor we hired.
Breaker tripped every few days for a year. Two other electricians replaced the breaker. Ascot found a back-stabbed outlet behind a bookcase in about forty minutes. Fixed and done.
Questions
Burning smells, smoke, sparking or hot outlets, a breaker that trips instantly every time you reset it, exposed conductors, water in a panel, or a total loss of power that is not affecting your neighbours. Any of those, call (888) 592-6466 now rather than waiting.
Yes — nights, weekends and holidays. (888) 592-6466 reaches a person, not a message box, and we will tell you on the call whether this is something you should shut off at the panel before we arrive.
That usually points at your service entrance, main breaker or a lost leg on the incoming service rather than a utility outage. Stop resetting the main and call an emergency electrician in Menlo Park — repeated resets on a fault make things worse.
Switch off the breaker feeding that outlet if you can identify it safely, do not use it, and call (888) 592-6466. Do not pull the cover plate off yourself. A burning smell means heat, and heat in a wall cavity is how electrical fires start.
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.
Yes, on any work that requires one — service and panel upgrades, rewires, new circuits in some jurisdictions, and most commercial work. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection as part of the job.
