Sparc Electric - San Mateo's Local Electrical Company

Yes, meter overheating is a frequent concern in our area, often due to older infrastructure or increased home energy demands. This is a serious safety risk that can lead to power outages or fire. We strongly advise turning off major appliances and contacting us or your utility provider immediately. As your local electrician, we can safely inspect the meter base, main panel connections, and overall service capacity to diagnose and resolve the root cause, ensuring your home's electrical system is safe and up to current standards.

Given our region's experience with wildfire-related Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS), a standby generator provides crucial backup power. It automatically kicks in during an outage, keeping your lights, refrigeration, and essential systems running. Our team, with over a decade of local experience, can assess your home's power needs, handle all permits, and perform a professional installation that integrates safely with your existing electrical panel. This proactive step offers significant peace of mind for San Mateo families, especially during fire season.

An electrical panel upgrade replaces your home's main circuit breaker box, which is the heart of your electrical system. It's often needed when adding major appliances, an EV charger, or a generator, or if you have an older home with a fuse box or a panel that's frequently tripping. Our process includes a thorough inspection of your current system, ensuring the new panel meets all local codes and has ample capacity for your family's current and future needs. We handle everything from permits to the final inspection, ensuring a safe and reliable upgrade.
