Sheet E-001 / Residential electrical, Los Gatos
EV chargers, panel upgrades and lighting for homes in Los Gatos and the hills around it. We draw every job before we cut a single hole, so you see the plan and the price first.
(408) 555-0139Office Mon to Fri, 7am to 5pm. Emergency calls answered 24/7.
Every circuit in your house leaves from one box in the garage or on the side wall. Before we quote anything, we open it, count spaces, read the main breaker and check for the brands and wiring that inspectors flag.
Kitchens need their own 20 amp counter circuits, GFCI protection near water, and lights you can actually cook under. We lay out recessed cans, pendants and under cabinet strips on a ceiling plan, then put each layer on its own dimmer.
A Level 2 charger is one dedicated circuit, but the size of that circuit depends on what your panel can spare. We measure the run, check the load, and tell you if a 40 or 48 amp charger fits without an upgrade.
When the power drops, a battery or generator keeps the circuits you choose running: fridge, lights, Wi-Fi, the well pump if you have one. We size it to what you actually use, not to the biggest box on the shelf.
Six kinds of work, one crew. Pick a breaker to open its sheet.
Tell us your panel, the charger and how far the wire has to go. The sheet shows the math line by line, the same rates we quote from.
| Base install: breaker, first 10 ft, mounting, testing | $650 to $900 |
|---|---|
| 20 ft beyond 10, surface conduit at $14 to $20 | $280 to $400 |
| Permit and inspection | $180 to $350 |
| Total, each end rounded to $25 | $1,100 to $1,650 |
Charger hardware is not included: $450 to $700 is typical.
This is an estimate, not a load calculation. We do the real load calc on site, per the electrical code, before we quote.
Burning smell, a buzzing panel, a breaker that will not reset, or a wire down in the yard. Do not wait for Monday.
