After nearly a decade with Triad Electric, he earned his contractor's license and established his own business. In 2020, he acquired Triad Electric, bringing his career full circle.

Common Questions

What should I do if my home has old wiring or I'm concerned about wildfire safety in Santa Cruz?

In Santa Cruz, where older homes and wildfire-related power safety are common concerns, we recommend a professional electrical inspection. Our team can assess your attic wiring, electrical panel, and overall system health to identify risks like short circuits or outdated components. We can harden your home's electrical system, recommend upgrades for safety during Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS), and ensure your wiring meets current codes. Proactive maintenance and modern panel installations can significantly enhance safety for your family and property.

Do you handle electric vehicle charging station installation for Santa Cruz homes?

Yes, we are experienced in EV charging station installation for Santa Cruz residents. Our team handles the full process, from assessing your home's electrical capacity and panel to installing a dedicated circuit and the charging unit itself. We ensure the installation is up to code, efficient, and integrates safely with your home's existing electrical system. Given our long history with design/build projects in the area, we can provide a reliable setup that meets your daily charging needs.

My circuit breaker keeps tripping. Can you help diagnose and fix the problem?

Absolutely. Frequent breaker trips often indicate an overloaded circuit, a short, or a faulty breaker. Our electricians will first diagnose the root cause, which could involve inspecting the panel, testing the breaker, and checking the connected wiring and outlets. We then provide a clear solution, which may involve repairing or replacing the breaker, adding a new circuit, or upgrading your electrical panel if it's outdated. With our background in both residential repair and complex commercial systems, we efficiently resolve these issues to restore safe, reliable power to your home.
