Common Questions

My San Jose home has old aluminum wiring, which I've heard can be a fire hazard. Can you help?

Yes, addressing aluminum wiring is a common and important service for us. Many older homes in the Santa Clara Valley have this wiring, which can loosen over time and create a fire risk. Our licensed electricians are experienced in evaluating aluminum wiring systems and performing safe repairs or upgrades, such as adding copper pigtails at connections or recommending a full panel and circuit replacement to modern, safer standards. We prioritize making your home's electrical system safe and reliable.

I'm considering an electric vehicle and need a home charging station installed. What does that process involve?

Installing an EV charging station is a popular service we provide. The process starts with a consultation to assess your home's electrical panel capacity and determine the optimal location for the charger. Many installations require a panel upgrade or a dedicated new circuit. With over 50 years of expertise in the area, we handle the entire process—from obtaining any necessary permits to the final installation and inspection—ensuring your charger is installed safely and efficiently for daily use.

What sets a family-owned electrician like yours apart from larger companies?

As a family-run business started in 1964, we've built our reputation on personal accountability and long-term relationships. Don and Jeff Wade are directly involved in the work, bringing a combined 80+ years of local experience to every job. This means you get consistent, knowledgeable service from the owners themselves. We take pride in our craftsmanship and customer care, treating each home as if it were our own, which has been the cornerstone of our service in Santa Clara County for generations.
