Outlets, Circuits & Heat Pumps in Berkeley
Power where you need it.
Outlets, switches and dedicated circuits
Not enough outlets, two-prong outlets with no ground, or a kitchen that trips a breaker every time the microwave and toaster run together? We add and replace outlets and switches and run new circuits so your power is where you need it.
Dryers, ranges, heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, hot tubs and workshop tools each need a dedicated circuit of their own. We size and install them to code, including the outdoor disconnect a heat pump requires.

Circuits & Heat Pumps questions
Why does my breaker keep tripping?
Usually too much load on one circuit, or a fault somewhere on it. We find the cause and fix it, which may mean adding a dedicated circuit.
Can you replace two-prong outlets?
Yes. We can replace them with grounded or GFCI-protected outlets, depending on your wiring.
