Your Electrical Problems Actually Get Solved

You flip a switch and the lights work. Every time. Your outlets don’t spark, your breakers don’t trip randomly, and you’re not wondering if that burning smell means you need to call 911.

That’s what proper electrical work looks like. No more jerry-rigged solutions that create bigger problems down the road. No more wondering if your electrical system is a fire hazard waiting to happen.

When your electrical system works the way it should, you stop thinking about it entirely. You plug in your devices, flip your switches, and everything just works. That’s the difference between a quick fix and electrical work done right by a licensed electrician who knows Hayward’s electrical codes inside and out.

How much does electrical work cost in Hayward?

Electrical work costs depend on what needs to be done, but we give you upfront pricing before we start any work. Simple outlet replacements might run $150-200, while panel upgrades typically range from $1,500-3,000 depending on your home’s needs. Emergency calls have a service fee, but that gets applied to the repair cost if you hire us. We don’t surprise you with hidden charges or inflated prices after we’re already in your home. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we touch anything.

Do I really need a licensed electrician for electrical work?

California law requires licensed electricians for most electrical work, and for good reason. Electrical mistakes can kill people or burn down houses. A licensed electrician knows current electrical codes, has liability insurance, and pulls proper permits when required. We’ve fixed countless dangerous DIY electrical jobs that seemed fine until they weren’t. Your homeowner’s insurance might not cover electrical fires caused by unlicensed work. The permit and inspection process exists to keep you safe, not to make your life difficult.

How long does an electrical panel upgrade take?

Most residential panel upgrades take 6-8 hours of work, usually completed in one day. We coordinate with PG&E to shut off power to your home, remove the old panel, install the new one, and restore power the same day. You’ll be without electricity for a few hours while we make the connections, but we work efficiently to minimize downtime. Complex jobs or homes requiring additional electrical work might take longer, but we’ll explain the timeline upfront so you can plan accordingly.

What's the difference between 100-amp and 200-amp electrical service?

A 200-amp service can handle roughly twice the electrical load of a 100-amp service. Most modern homes need 200-amp service to run central air conditioning, electric appliances, EV chargers, and all the electronics we use today without tripping breakers. If you’re constantly resetting breakers or can’t run multiple appliances at once, you probably need a service upgrade. Older Hayward homes often have 100-amp or even 60-amp service that made sense decades ago but can’t handle today’s electrical demands. We can evaluate your current usage and recommend the right service size for your needs.

Can you install EV chargers in Hayward homes?

Yes, we install Level 2 EV chargers for electric vehicles throughout Hayward. Most EV charger installations require a 240-volt circuit and proper permits from the city. We handle the entire process: evaluating your electrical panel capacity, installing the dedicated circuit, mounting the charger, and coordinating permits and inspections. Installation typically takes 3-4 hours depending on the distance from your panel to the charging location. We work with all major EV charger brands and can recommend the best option for your vehicle and charging needs.

Do you offer emergency electrical service in Hayward?

We provide emergency electrical service for dangerous situations like sparking outlets, burning smells, or complete power loss. True electrical emergencies get priority response because they can be life-threatening. We’re available for urgent repairs that can’t wait until normal business hours. However, not every electrical problem is an emergency – a single non-working outlet can usually wait until the next business day. We’ll help you determine if your situation needs immediate attention or can be scheduled as a regular service call to save you the emergency service fee.
