What We Do

Electrical services built around your home's needs

From simple outlet replacements to complete whole-house rewires, we handle residential electrical work with the same attention to detail whether the job is small or large.

Panel Upgrades

Old panels can't keep up with modern living. We upgrade your electrical panel to safely handle today's power demands — from EV chargers to home offices.

Lighting Installation

Recessed lights, pendant fixtures, landscape lighting — we design and install lighting that transforms how your home feels, functions, and looks.

Rewiring & Repair

Knob-and-tube, aluminum wiring, faulty outlets — we identify hazards and bring your home's wiring up to current safety standards with clean, code-compliant work.

Whole-Home Services

New construction, major remodels, or additions — we handle the electrical rough-in and finish work so your project stays on schedule and up to code.

Smart Home Wiring

Smart switches, thermostats, security systems, and whole-home automation — we wire and configure the technology that makes your home work for you.

Emergency Electrical

Power outages, sparking outlets, burning smells — when electrical problems can't wait, we respond quickly to keep your family safe and your home running.

About Us

We don't just fix wires — we protect what matters most in your home.

CenCal Electric has been serving Richmond homeowners and the greater Bay Area for over two decades. We started as a one-person operation with a truck, a tool belt, and a commitment to doing electrical work the right way — no shortcuts, no surprises, no cut-rate corners.

Today, that same commitment drives everything we do. When you call us, you're getting an electrician who treats your home like it's their own. We show up on time, explain what we're doing and why, and leave your space cleaner than we found it.

Whether it's a flickering light that's been bothering you for months or a full panel replacement for your expanding family, we bring the same care and craftsmanship to every job — big or small.

What our Richmond neighbors say about us

"CenCal Electric upgraded our 200-amp panel and added circuits for our home office. They were punctual, professional, and left our basement cleaner than they found it. Highly recommend."

"We had an old knob-and-tube situation in our 1940s bungalow. CenCal Electric rewired the entire first floor safely and efficiently. They explained everything and the pricing was exactly what they quoted."
