A R Electric: Certified Electrical Services Serving San Francisco 94116

Congratulations on your remodel! For a San Francisco kitchen, we typically handle under-cabinet lighting installation, adding or relocating GFCI outlets to meet code, installing dedicated circuits for major appliances, and upgrading your lighting with energy-efficient fixtures or dimmers. As a licensed C10 contractor, we also coordinate any necessary electrical panel upgrades to support your new appliances and ensure everything is permitted and inspected properly. We can integrate these elements seamlessly into your remodel timeline.

Yes, this is very common here. San Francisco's moist, salty air often causes corrosion in outdoor lighting circuits and connections. Additionally, rodent damage to exterior wiring is a frequent problem. We start by safely troubleshooting the circuit to locate the fault—whether it's a corroded connection, damaged wire from pests, or a faulty fixture. Our repair involves replacing any compromised components with weather-resistant materials and, if needed, implementing solutions to help protect the wiring from future rodent activity and corrosion.

Installing a home EV charger is a great investment. The process begins with a consultation where we assess your home's electrical capacity, often at your main panel. Many San Francisco homes require a panel upgrade to support the new 240-volt circuit. We handle the entire installation, including running the proper wiring from your panel to the desired location, mounting the charger, and ensuring it's on a dedicated circuit. As a licensed contractor, we also manage any required permits and coordinate with PG&E if a service upgrade is necessary, providing you with a safe, code-compliant installation ready for daily use.
