Licensed electricians for Marin and Sonoma County homes

John Owens Services has served Marin and Sonoma County homes since 1986 and holds California contractor license #501853, including C-10 Electrical. Our electricians handle electrical repair and troubleshooting, home rewiring, electrical panel upgrades, lighting installation, EV charger installation and generators, and we explain the options before recommending work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an electrical panel upgrade for an EV charger or heat pump?

Not necessarily. We assess existing demand, circuit space, equipment condition and the new load. The result may be a dedicated circuit, compatible load management, or a panel and service upgrade. A 200-amp panel is not a universal requirement.

What affects the cost of electrical work in Marin and Sonoma counties?

Price depends on the type of repair or installation, how easy the wiring is to reach, the equipment, and any meter, utility, permit or patching work. We assess the project and explain exactly what the estimate includes.

Which areas do your electricians serve?

We serve homes throughout Marin and Sonoma County, including Mill Valley, Novato, Petaluma, San Rafael, Santa Rosa, Tiburon, Larkspur, Corte Madera, Kentfield, San Anselmo and Sebastopol. Use the city links below or contact us to confirm service for your address.

Can you coordinate electrical work with other home services?

Yes. When the approved project includes related plumbing, heating, cooling, water heating or building work, our teams can often coordinate the work through one company.

How do I know if my home’s electrical wiring is outdated?

Flickering lights, old or damaged wire materials, and sparking outlets or switches are signs that your wiring may need an upgrade.

Why does my GFCI outlet keep tripping?

It could be from a faulty appliance, a problem with the downstream wiring, water that has gotten into the electrical box, or the outlet itself is faulty.

What should I do if an electrical outlet feels hot?

Unplug all your devices from that outlet and turn off power to that room to prevent a fire until an electrician can come inspect the issue.

What are the warning signs of an overloaded electrical panel?

Lights that frequently dim or flicker, circuit breakers that trip constantly, hot switch plates, or scorch marks around the panel or outlets are signs that the panel is overloaded.

What electrical upgrades should I consider for an older home?

In a modern home, upgrading to GFCI outlets in specific areas, upgrading to a 200-amp panel, replacing old wiring, and having a whole-home surge protector installed are things to consider.
