Electrical Services in San Jose, CA
San Jose, CA electricians serve a mix of mid-century ranches in Willow Glen and Cambrian, dense Silicon Valley new builds, and tech-corridor families adding EVs and battery storage. Common jobs: 200A panel upgrades, Level 2 EV chargers on PG&E service, solar/battery integration, and ADU sub-panel adds. Brands stocked: Square D, Eaton, Tesla Wall Connector, Enphase, SolarEdge, Generac.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Permit for an EV charger?
- Yes — San Jose Building Division requires a permit for new 240V circuits. Many straightforward EV installs go through online express permitting.
- Solar+battery permit — fast track?
- Yes — SolarAPP+ allows same-day automated permits for qualifying residential PV+storage installs in San Jose. Significantly faster than traditional plan check.
- PSPS — how many days of backup do I need?
- South Bay PSPS events typically 1–3 days. One Powerwall (13.5 kWh) covers managed loads ~24h; two cover 48h+ with normal AC use.
- ADU sub-panel — service upgrade required?
- Title 24 load calc determines this. Many existing 200A services handle an ADU; otherwise upgrade to 200A with a sub-feed to the ADU. PG&E meter split rarely needed.
