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 San Rafael?

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.

How do permits work for electrical projects in San Rafael?

Confirm the permit and inspection requirements for your project with the City. San Rafael directs new applications to OpenGov; the official notice links to the current platform. See San Rafael notice and current permit-platform link.

Should I mention future appliances when planning a new circuit?

Yes. Tell us about planned EV charging, electric water heating, cooking or heating equipment, even if it will be installed later. Assessing those plans together helps establish the scope without assuming every new appliance requires a larger electrical service.
