Many Novato projects touch more than one trade. A heat pump needs a circuit. An electric water heater needs both plumbing and power. We are a family-owned electrician in Novato that also does plumbing, heating and cooling, so one contractor can plan the whole job. That means fewer phone calls and fewer handoffs for you.

Electric water heater installation and replacement in Novato is a good example. We install the heater, including heat pump models, and our electricians run or check the circuit it needs. You deal with one company and one schedule. Installations come with a free estimate. If the panel is the limit, we tell you before the work starts.

We also handle the standalone electrical jobs: panel upgrades and replacement, rewiring, outlets, GFCI protection, lighting and EV chargers. Novato homes are served from our San Rafael office. Seniors save $250 on an install or $50 on a repair. Veterans save $200 on an install or $50 on a repair. Financing is available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a plumber or an electrician install a hot water heater in Novato?

It takes both trades when the heater is electric. The plumbing side connects water lines and the relief valve. The electrical side supplies the circuit. We do both, so one contractor handles the installation and replacement of the water heater, including heat pump water heaters. You get one estimate and one schedule.

What is involved in electric water heater replacement in Novato?

We remove the old tank, set the new heater, connect the water lines and check the electrical supply. If you want to switch to a heat pump water heater, the circuit may need to change, and we plan that before installation day. Tell us what you have now and we will explain the steps.

Do you offer emergency electrician service in Novato?

Call us if a circuit is dead, a breaker will not stay on or an outlet is hot. Unplug anything on a hot outlet. Same-day service available in Novato. Call now. If you smell burning or see smoke, get everyone out and call 911 first.

Can you coordinate a heat pump installation with the electrical work?

Yes. We install heat pumps and run the circuit for them, so the equipment and the wiring are planned together. Before installation we check whether the existing panel has room for the new load. If it does not, we explain the panel options in the same estimate.

What does outdated wiring replacement involve?

Outdated wiring shows up as two-prong outlets, aluminum wiring, cloth-covered or exposed wires, and breakers or fuses that give constant trouble. We inspect what is behind the walls where we can reach it and explain whether a few circuits need work or whether a larger rewire makes sense. Not every older house needs a full rewire.
