Watts Electric - San Mateo's Expert Electrical Repair

Flickering lights in older San Mateo homes are often due to loose connections, outdated wiring, or overloaded circuits—common issues we see from past DIY work. It's a safety concern that shouldn't be ignored. We'll perform a thorough electrical inspection to pinpoint the exact cause, which is typically in the affected circuit's connections, switches, or the main panel. From there, we can securely repair loose connections, upgrade wiring if needed, or recommend a panel update to ensure your home's electrical system is safe and stable.

Installing an electric vehicle charging station starts with a site evaluation of your San Mateo home's electrical panel and capacity. My 19 years of experience, including work as a foreman on commercial projects, ensures we assess your system's ability to handle the new load safely. We handle the entire process: securing any necessary permits, professionally installing a dedicated circuit from your panel to the garage, mounting the charger, and performing all final testing. Our goal is a seamless, code-compliant installation so you can charge your vehicle reliably and safely.

An electrical inspection is a critical diagnostic step. With my background as a journeyman and foreman, I've seen how existing wiring and connections can impact new work. Before a panel upgrade or any major installation, we need to understand the complete condition of your home's system. The inspection reveals the capacity of your current wiring, identifies any outdated or unsafe components (like aluminum wiring), and ensures the new panel will integrate properly. This proactive approach prevents future problems, ensures compliance with San Mateo codes, and guarantees the safety and performance of your upgraded electrical system.
