Question Answers

My home's electrical meter feels hot to the touch. What should I do?

An overheating electrical meter is a serious safety concern common in older San Francisco homes, often due to outdated panels or overloaded circuits. We recommend turning off non-essential power and calling us immediately for an emergency electrical inspection. Our electricians will diagnose the cause, which could be a faulty meter base, loose connections, or an overloaded main panel, and perform the necessary repair, such as circuit breaker repair or a full panel upgrade, to restore safe operation.

What electrical upgrades do you recommend for a pre-1950s San Francisco home?

For older homes, we typically recommend a full electrical inspection first. Key upgrades often include replacing a fuse box with a modern circuit breaker panel, installing GFCI outlets in kitchens and bathrooms, updating aluminum wiring, and ensuring adequate circuits for modern appliances. We also frequently install whole-house surge protection and can assess your capacity for additions like an electric vehicle charging station. These upgrades address the aging infrastructure, improve safety, and bring your home up to current code standards.

Can you handle both the electrical and carpentry work for a kitchen appliance installation?

Absolutely. As a full-service handyman company, we manage the entire project. For example, installing a new garbage disposal or built-in oven often requires both electrical work (new outlet or circuit) and carpentry (modifying cabinetry). Our team includes licensed electricians and skilled handymen, so we coordinate all aspects—from the circuit breaker installation and wire repair to the final handyman cleaning—ensuring a seamless, code-compliant, and tidy completion for your San Francisco home.
