Rewiring · South San Francisco, California
House rewiring in South San Francisco is the long-term answer when a home still runs on knob and tube, cloth-sheathed cable or aluminium branch circuits. We plan whole house rewiring in South San Francisco, California room by room so you keep power in the parts of the house you are living in while the old wiring comes out.
Scope of work

We work across South San Francisco 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
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.
They did our tenant improvement over three nights so we never closed. Panel, subpanel, twenty new circuits and all the display lighting. Invoiced exactly what was quoted.
Recessed lighting in a vaulted living room, which everyone else told me would need a soffit. They laid it out, showed me the spacing on paper first, and it looks like it came with the house.
Questions
Less than most people expect. We work circuit by circuit and stage the job so you keep power in the rooms you are actually using. Access is usually through attic, crawlspace and small targeted openings rather than opening every wall.
Two-prong outlets throughout, a fuse box, cloth-covered cable in the basement, warm switch plates, or lights that dim whenever an appliance starts. Knob and tube and aluminium branch circuits are the two that most often force the decision.
Not always. Where a full replacement is not practical, approved connectors at every device and junction are an accepted remediation. We will tell you which route makes sense for your house and what each one costs.
Yes. Most South San Francisco rewires are done with the family still in place. We agree in advance which rooms lose power on which days.
Yes. EV charger installation in South San Francisco includes a load calculation on your existing service, the dedicated circuit, and the Level 2 charger, Tesla Wall Connector or NEMA 14-50 outlet. If the panel cannot carry it, we will tell you what the upgrade costs before you commit.
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.
