Whole House Rewiring across Pacifica
We cover all of Pacifica, from downtown out to the newer subdivisions on the edge of town, plus the neighboring communities of San Bruno, South San Francisco and Colma.
Pacifica sits in San Mateo 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 Peninsula daily, so travel time to a call in Pacifica is short.

Recent Pacifica 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.Pacifica, CARecessed lighting in the living room and hallway. They marked the layout on the floor first and asked before cutting. No flicker on the dimmers.
Curtis B.Pacifica, CASmart switches finally work because they pulled neutrals into the boxes. Two other installers had told me it was not possible.
Jae P.Pacifica, CAWhole House Rewiring in Pacifica — questions we get asked
How much does it cost to rewire a house in Pacifica?
Whole-home rewires in Pacifica 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.
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.
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 San Mateo County projects sometimes have a day or two where it is easier to be elsewhere.
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.
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.
