Business Profile
My name is Mike, and Simply Electric is my Milpitas-based business. My journey started with a BS in Electrical Engineering in 1997, leading to a 17-year career in the high-tech industry here in Silicon Valley. For a decade of that time, I worked alongside a close friend, also an engineer, at his commercial electrical company, gaining hands-on field experience. When my tech role was outsourced in 2015, I saw an opportunity to turn my passion into my profession. Now, I operate Simply Electric with my family in mind—my wife, teenage son, and young daughter are my inspiration to build a reliable, trustworthy local service. We serve our neighbors from a fully stocked mobile van, ensuring we have the right tools and parts on hand to complete jobs efficiently without delays. Our approach combines deep technical knowledge with clear communication and a commitment to safety, treating every home as if it were our own.
Common Questions
What's the advantage of your fully equipped mobile van for Milpitas homeowners?
Our van is stocked like a warehouse on wheels with professional-grade tools and common materials. For Milpitas residents, this means we can often diagnose and fix common electrical issues in a single visit. Whether it's a corroded outdoor lighting circuit or a faulty outlet, we aim to resolve it on the spot, saving you time and the hassle of waiting for follow-up appointments.
I'm considering an EV charger installation. What should I know about the process?
Installing an EV charger, like a NEMA 14-50 outlet or a dedicated charging station, often requires a panel assessment. We check if your current electrical panel can handle the new load safely. For many Milpitas homes, especially older ones, this might involve a panel upgrade to meet code and ensure safety. We handle the entire process, from permitting to final inspection, ensuring a reliable setup for your vehicle.
How do you address unsafe DIY electrical work found during an inspection?
It's a common issue we see. Our approach is to clearly explain what we find, why it's a hazard, and provide a straightforward plan to correct it. We prioritize safety and code compliance without judgment. Whether it's improperly wired circuits or overloaded panels, we'll detail the necessary repairs—like circuit breaker or wire replacement—to bring your Milpitas home up to current electrical standards.
