Smart Home · Menlo Park, California
Smart home wiring in Menlo Park usually fails on one detail: the switch box has no neutral. We run the neutral, install the smart switches and dimmers, power the doorbell and cameras properly and leave you with a system that still works when the Wi-Fi hiccups.

Scope of work
Whether you searched for smart home electrician Menlo Park, smart home wiring 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
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.
Generator install went in ahead of the schedule they gave us. Transfer switch cut over during the October shutoff without us noticing until we saw the neighbours' lights out.
Questions
Either we run a neutral to the box, or we fit a smart switch designed for no-neutral installs. Running the neutral is more reliable long term, and in most Menlo Park homes it is easier than people assume.
Yes. Most doorbell problems are an undersized old transformer. We fit the right transformer and wiring so the camera does not brown out every time it records.
Yes — Cat6 data drops, structured wiring panels and clean network closets, run alongside the electrical rather than tangled through it.
It should. We specify and wire systems so the wall switch always works locally, with the app as a layer on top rather than the only way to turn a light on.
Routine repairs in Menlo Park 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.
