Whole House Rewiring across Los Gatos
We cover all of Los Gatos, from downtown out to the newer subdivisions on the edge of town, plus the neighboring communities of Monte Sereno, Scotts Valley and Saratoga.
Los Gatos sits in Santa Cruz County, and the electrical work here reflects that mix: older housing stock that needs grounding, capacity and device upgrades, alongside newer construction that simply needs more circuits than it was built with. Crews route through the Central Coast daily, so travel time to a call in Los Gatos is short.

Recent Los Gatos feedback
We rewired in stages so we could keep living here. They planned the access holes where the patcher could actually fix them, which I did not expect.
Ellen and Ray M.Los Gatos, CAOld fuse box gone, 200 amp service in, inspection passed the first time. Clear communication the whole way through.
Bethany W.Los Gatos, CAOur restaurant cannot close, so they did the panel work overnight. Walked in the next morning to everything working and the floor cleaner than we left it.
Nadia F.Los Gatos, CAWhole House Rewiring in Los Gatos — questions we get asked
Is aluminum wiring dangerous?
Aluminum branch wiring from the 1960s and 70s is not inherently unusable, but its connections loosen and overheat over time. Remediation with listed connectors or replacement resolves it.
Do I have to move out during a rewire?
Usually not. We work in phases and keep power on to the areas you are using. Larger Santa Cruz County projects sometimes have a day or two where it is easier to be elsewhere.
Will you patch the drywall?
We cut planned, patch-ready access and coordinate closely with your patcher or painter. Ask and we will quote the rewire with patching included.
How do I know if I have knob and tube wiring?
Look in the attic or basement for individual wires running through white ceramic knobs and tubes. Two-prong outlets throughout and a fuse box are strong supporting signs.
How much does it cost to rewire a house in Los Gatos?
Whole-home rewires in Los Gatos are priced by square footage, circuit count and access — a single-story home with an accessible attic and crawlspace costs far less than a two-story plaster home. We walk it, then give one firm number.
