From troubleshooting electrical problems to installing new circuits, lighting, and panel upgrades, John Owens Services provides professional residential electrical services in Santa Rosa. We have served Marin and Sonoma County homeowners for over 30 years with superior electrical work.
Your electrical system should safely support your lighting, 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, new circuits, light fixtures, outlets, generators, panel upgrades, and more. Recommendations are based on the condition of your electrical system and the needs of your home.
Santa Rosa includes older central neighborhoods, established suburban homes, rural properties, and homes that have been expanded or remodeled over time. These properties can have very different panels, wiring, additions, and electrical demands, so we do not use 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.

200-amp panels are recommended for a heat pump. It is a good idea to have a licensed electrician perform a load calculation.
It can be normal for a quick flicker in the lights to happen when a larger electrical appliance kicks in, since this is due to the burst of startup electricity. More frequent dimming in the lights may indicate an overloaded circuit.
While both a generator and battery backup would be equally viable options, the choice will come down to your personal energy requirements, the frequency of outages in your area, and your budget.
A constantly tripping breaker could point to a worn out or overloaded circuit. It also might mean wires are touching somewhere that is causing a short circuit, or you have a faulty appliance. It is best for an electrician to inspect the issue.
