Raw Electric - Los Altos's Local Electrical Services

Our thorough electrical inspection is a preventative check-up for your home's entire electrical system. We examine your main service panel, wiring, outlets, switches, and safety devices like GFCIs and AFCIs. The goal is to identify potential hazards, code violations, or components that are aging or overloaded. For Los Altos residents, this is especially important to catch issues before they lead to power surges that can damage sensitive electronics. We provide a clear, detailed report of our findings and practical recommendations to keep your home safe and efficient.

Many older homes in Los Altos were built before the modern demand for high-powered appliances, multiple computers, and electric vehicle chargers. An outdated panel may not have the capacity (measured in amps) to handle this increased load safely, which can cause frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, or even become a fire risk. Our panel upgrade service replaces your old panel with a new, higher-capacity unit that meets current safety codes and provides the stable, robust power your contemporary household requires.

Before founding Raw Electric, I spent many years working directly with teams of electricians on commercial construction sites. This experience gave me direct insight into the scale, planning, and code compliance required for commercial projects. I understand the importance of minimizing business disruption and completing work efficiently. Whether it's a storefront, office, or other commercial space in Los Altos, I apply that same disciplined, team-oriented approach to ensure your electrical systems support your business operations reliably.
