South San Francisco Electrician — Powering Homes, Offices & Industry
Why South San Francisco Is Unique
Known as “The Industrial City,” South San Francisco is home to warehouses, biotech labs, office parks, and residential neighborhoods all side by side. That means the electrical needs here range from heavy-duty commercial panels and dedicated circuits to safe home wiring for family houses and apartments.
In older homes, I often find aluminum wiring or undersized breaker panels that struggle with modern kitchens, dryers, and EV chargers. In commercial buildings, the challenge is maintaining 3-phase systems, surge protection, and backup power to keep businesses running smoothly.
What I Typically See in South San Francisco
- Warehouse and office circuits overloaded with computers, HVAC, or machinery.
- Old residential panels without enough breaker capacity for today’s appliances.
- Apartment complexes with shared circuits and outdated service gear.
- Commercial kitchens needing dedicated 20A and 30A circuits.
- EV charger demand in residential garages and company parking lots.
- Lack of surge protection for sensitive biotech and office equipment.
Common Fixes I Do in South San Francisco
- Panel upgrades for homes, apartments, and light industrial spaces.
- Rewiring older homes with modern copper wiring and grounding.
- 3-phase service work for offices, labs, and warehouses.
- EV charger installs — from Tesla Wall Connectors to universal Level 2 stations.
- Dedicated circuits for commercial kitchens, HVAC, and heavy appliances.
- Whole-building surge protection for labs and IT-heavy offices.
“South San Francisco calls are often split — half residential upgrades, half commercial work in warehouses and offices. Both need safe, reliable power.”
