Your electrical system should safely support your lights, appliances, heating and cooling equipment, water heater, and everyday technology. When breakers keep tripping, outlets stop working, or new equipment needs more power, our electricians begin by evaluating the existing system and explaining what the work requires.

We provide electrical safety inspections, home rewiring, meter-main work, light fixtures, outlets, generators, panel upgrades, and more. Recommendations are based on your home’s electrical system and the work you actually need.

San Rafael homes range from older Gerstle Park properties to remodeled hillside homes and mid-century Eichlers in Terra Linda. Those homes can have very different panels, wiring, additions, and electrical demands, so we do not take a one-size-fits-all approach.

Electrical work is also commonly needed during heat pump installations, water heater projects, and larger home improvements. With electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and building licenses under one company, John Owens Services can often coordinate the related trades.
