Panel upgrades, rewiring, EV chargers, and lighting for San Leandro homeowners. Estudillo Estates to Washington Manor.
San Leandro grew fast after WWII — thousands of homes went up in the 1940s, 50s, and 60s. Well-built tract homes with hardwood floors and solid bones. But the electrical systems were designed for a different era. 60-amp and 100-amp panels, aluminum branch wiring, two-prong ungrounded outlets are still common throughout the city.
Today those same homes run ACs, home offices, electric dryers, and increasingly EV chargers. Original panels can't keep up. Breakers trip, lights flicker, homeowners discover they can't add the circuits they need. A 200A panel upgrade solves all of it — the single most common job we do in San Leandro.
Oakland-based, minutes from San Leandro. We pull permits through the City of San Leandro Building Division, coordinate PG&E, and schedule inspections — Estudillo Estates panel swap or Washington Manor EV charger, start to finish.
Four issues on almost every San Leandro walkthrough. Post-war tract construction runs a consistent pattern.

Why us in San Leandro
We do these every week. PG&E scheduling, city permit, install, and inspection — all handled. Tiered pricing by drop distance.
1970s kitchen adds used aluminum. Code accepts copper-aluminum pigtails at every device. We do the whole house in a day.

Many 1950s homes in San Leandro have aluminum wiring or undersized panels (60A–100A). If your lights dim when the AC kicks on, breakers trip regularly, or you're planning a kitchen remodel, an upgrade is likely overdue. We'll assess during a walkthrough.
It depends on your current panel capacity. If you have a 200A panel with available slots, usually yes. If you're at 100A, you'll likely need to upgrade first.
Most 100A to 200A upgrades are done in one day. PG&E meter coordination adds 1–2 weeks. We handle all the scheduling and paperwork.
Real tiers based on distance from the PG&E drop: within 10 ft = $5,000–$6,000; 10–30 ft or multiple pipes = $7,000–$8,000; beyond 30 ft (with PG&E approval) = $10,000–$12,000. Your price depends on distance and existing panel condition.
Not always. Some homes just need a panel upgrade and a few new circuits. Others — especially homes with aluminum branch wiring — benefit from a full rewire. We'll assess during the walkthrough and give you honest options.
