Straightforward quote, no upsell, showed up when they said. Added four outlets and a dedicated circuit for the freezer in half a day.

Storm took out our weatherhead. Ascot got the temporary sorted the same afternoon and the permanent repair inspected within the week.

Ceiling fans in four bedrooms, none of which had fan-rated boxes. They braced every one properly instead of just hanging them off the old box.

Questions

Outlet & Switch Installation San Jose — FAQs

Where are GFCI outlets required?

Kitchens, bathrooms, garages, unfinished basements, crawlspaces, laundry areas, outdoors and anywhere near a sink. If your San Jose home predates the requirement, adding them is quick and inexpensive.

Can you add an outlet where there is nothing?

Yes. Most rooms can take an extra outlet with no visible damage, fed from a nearby circuit or a new dedicated one where the load requires it.

Why does my outlet feel warm?

A warm or discoloured receptacle means a poor connection making heat, usually a back-stabbed wire or a worn contact. Stop using it and call (888) 592-6466 — this is one of the more common starting points for electrical fires.

What is a dedicated circuit and do I need one?

It is a circuit serving one appliance only. Microwaves, dishwashers, window AC units, freezers, space heaters and workshop tools all benefit, and some are required to have one.

Do you work on both homes and businesses in San Jose?

Both. Residential work covers repairs, remodels, rewires and installations. Commercial work covers offices, retail, restaurants and warehouses in San Jose, and we schedule it outside your trading hours where we can.

My San Jose house still has a fuse box. Is that a problem?

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 San Jose homeowners upgrade when they add an EV charger, an AC unit or a kitchen.
