More ways we can help
Repairs, improvements & peace of mind.
Lights out, a breaker that will not reset, a warm outlet or a burning smell. Call and we get someone moving. Same-day service when the schedule allows.
Many Bay Area homes built before 1950 still run on knob and tube. We replace it so you can insulate, get insured and stop worrying about it.
Aluminum wiring, cloth wiring, too few circuits for a modern kitchen. We rewire room by room with minimal disruption and patch as we go.
Recessed lighting, under-cabinet, landscape and exterior, dimmers and smart switches. Laid out cleanly and centered where they belong.
Buying, selling, or just unsure about an old panel? A thorough inspection with a written report and straight answers, not a sales pitch.
Tenant improvements, service upgrades, lighting retrofits and dedicated circuits for shops, restaurants, clinics and offices.

“Fair price, great service, and excellent communication.”
“Alex took the time to debug my panels and found I had plenty of amperage for my projects, when other electricians were trying to upsell me on more amps than I needed. He was also the only one ensuring we get a permit and do everything the right way.”
“TopTech Electrical was incredible. Alex was very responsive and came out same day.”
