200A Panel & EV Charger — Los Gatos
A Los Gatos homeowner wanted a Tesla Wall Connector, but the original 100A panel was already maxed out. We upgraded to a 200A Eaton service, coordinated the PG&E meter swap, pulled the city permit, and ran a dedicated 60A EV circuit — powered back up the same afternoon.
- Before: Maxed-out 100A panel, no room for an EV circuit
- After: 200A Eaton service + dedicated 60A Tesla Wall Connector
- Timeline: Permit pulled, installed, and re-energized in one day
- Outcome: EV-ready, with headroom for a future heat pump

Los Gatos Electrical Questions
Do you serve Los Gatos hillside homes?
Yes — we regularly work on hillside properties in Los Gatos Mountains, Shannon Hills, and Monte Sereno. We're experienced with long conduit runs, generator installations, and the unique challenges of hillside electrical work.
Can you rewire a historic Los Gatos home?
Absolutely. We specialize in rewiring older homes while preserving original plaster, wood trim, and architectural details. We use fish tape and minimize wall openings whenever possible.
Does Los Gatos require permits for electrical work?
Yes — the Town of Los Gatos requires permits for most electrical work. For homes in unincorporated areas, Santa Clara County issues permits. We handle the process for both jurisdictions.
Can you install a whole-home generator in Los Gatos?
Yes — Los Gatos hillside homes are prone to power outages, especially during storms and PSPS events. We install Generac and Kohler whole-home generators with automatic transfer switches.
How much does a panel upgrade cost in Los Gatos?
Panel upgrades in Los Gatos typically run $2,500-$5,000 depending on home size and existing conditions. Hillside homes may cost more due to longer conduit runs and PG&E coordination.
