Minor Electrical in San Francisco and the Peninsula

What’s in the lane

Like-for-like swaps are the lane: light fixtures and fans onto existing boxes, switches, dimmers, and outlets replaced, smart devices — thermostats, doorbells, locks, switches — installed, paired, and left working. Everything tested, wall plates straight, breakers labeled a little better than we found them.

When a job goes past that — new circuits, panel work, EV chargers — we coordinate a licensed electrician from our vetted bench: we source, schedule, and manage the work, and you get one invoice and one thread.

How we approach it

Power off and verified dead at the box before anything comes apart — no exceptions. Connections are made to the fixture’s own spec, grounds carried through, and plates left flush and level rather than cocked at an angle. Smart devices aren’t done until they’re actually paired and responding on your phone, because a doorbell that installs but won’t connect isn’t installed. Where we find something outside the like-for-like lane — a warm outlet, a questionable splice, an over-loaded circuit — we flag it plainly instead of burying it behind a new cover plate.

When to book it

Stack the small electrical onto a visit as it accumulates: the fixtures waiting in their boxes, the dimmer you keep meaning to add, the dead outlet in the hallway. Grouping them means one power-down and one pass instead of a separate call for each. If the list turns out to need a licensed electrician, that’s our problem to coordinate, not yours to chase.

Commonly paired with: minor plumbing — the other half of the small-fix list — and doors & windows when smart locks and hardware are on it.
