Why EJ

Electrical work is a licensed-professional job

It’s the one trade where a shortcut can cost you the house. Here’s how EJ treats it.

Safety first, always

Licensed, insured, and working to current NEC code. Every repair is tested and verified before we call it done.

Upfront, in writing

Diagnosis first, then an exact written quote you approve before work starts. No meter running.

Panels to fixtures

Breakers, panels, outlets, lighting, EV chargers, surge protection, generators — one licensed team for all of it.

Code & permits handled

Where permits apply, we pull them — and the work passes inspection the first time.

Warning Signs

Warning signs your wiring is waving at you

Electrical problems announce themselves. Two or more of these deserve a licensed look — soon:

A breaker trips again right after you reset it
Lights flicker when appliances kick on
Outlets or switches feel warm, buzz, or spark
A faint burning smell you can’t locate
Two-prong outlets, or no GFCI near water
A Zinsco or Federal Pacific era panel

Seeing two or more of these? Have a licensed electrician take a look before it gets worse — (650) 434-4432.

How It Works

Diagnosed safely, fixed to code

The process is built around one thing: nobody guesses with electricity.

1

Describe the symptoms

Call or send the form — anything that smells hot or won’t reset gets priority.

2

Same-day diagnostic

A licensed electrician traces the actual fault with a meter — not by swapping parts until something works.

3

Exact written quote

You see the price and the why before any work starts. Approve it, or take the findings and think it over.

4

Repaired, tested, verified

Fixed to current code, load-tested, and labeled — with permits pulled where they’re required.

The Difference

A licensed electrician vs. “a guy who does electrical”

Most electrical horror stories start with an unlicensed shortcut. The difference is in the details.

Repair or Upgrade?

Repair it — or upgrade the panel?

We fix what can be fixed. But some panels have earned retirement. The honest split:

A targeted repair is enough when…

  • One circuit or device is at fault and the rest test clean
  • It’s a worn outlet, switch, or fixture — not the panel
  • Your panel is modern with capacity to spare
  • The fix restores full, safe function for years

The upgrade is the safe call when…

  • It’s a Zinsco or Federal Pacific era panel
  • Breakers trip whenever two big loads run together
  • There’s no capacity for an EV charger, ADU, or heat pump
  • There are scorch marks, buzzing, or aluminum branch wiring
Panel verdicts come with photos and the load math — you see why, not just a price.

Good Questions

Electrical repair, answered

Straight answers — the same ones we give on the phone.

Can you come out the same day for an electrical problem?
Yes — same-day diagnostic visits are available across the South Bay. If something feels unsafe (burning smell, hot outlet, breaker that won’t reset), say so when you call and we’ll prioritize it.
What does the $49 electrical inspection cover?
It’s a first-time-customer special covering outlets and switches — a licensed electrician checks the problem areas and gives you straight answers plus a written quote for any repair. One coupon per appointment; current terms apply.
Are your electricians licensed and insured?
Yes. EJ Home Services is licensed (CSLB #826797) and insured, and our electrical work follows current NEC code requirements. This is not a handyman side gig.
How do I know if my panel needs to be upgraded?
Warning signs: breakers that trip whenever two big appliances run, a Zinsco or Federal Pacific panel, scorch marks, buzzing, or no capacity left for things like an EV charger. We’ll give you the load math and photos — not just a price — so you can see why.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes. Where a permit is required, we pull it and the work is done to pass inspection the first time. You get code-compliant work with paper to prove it.
