Colma Electrician — Safe Wiring for a Small but Unique Town

Why Colma Is Unique

Colma may be a small town, but it has its share of homes, apartments, and service buildings. Many residential properties here were built decades ago, with outdated wiring and undersized breaker panels. On the commercial side, shops and service centers often need reliable circuits for lighting, refrigeration, and equipment.

Because Colma is surrounded by hills and frequent fog, moisture and corrosion are common issues for outdoor outlets, lighting, and breaker panels. Old wiring setups struggle with modern appliances, EV chargers, and today’s home office loads.

What I Typically See in Colma

  • Old breaker panels with limited capacity and no AFCI/GFCI protection.
  • Ungrounded outlets and aluminum branch wiring in older homes.
  • Outdoor lighting failures due to fog and corrosion.
  • Small shops with overloaded circuits powering refrigeration and lighting.
  • Garage conversions needing new dedicated circuits and outlets.

Common Fixes I Do in Colma

  • Panel upgrades with modern breaker capacity and protection.
  • Rewiring older homes with safe copper wiring and grounding.
  • GFCI protection for bathrooms, kitchens, garages, and outdoor areas.
  • Dedicated circuits for garages, shops, and heavy-use appliances.
  • Outdoor wiring upgrades with weatherproof conduit and outlets.

“Colma might be small, but I see the same issues as in larger cities — old wiring, corroded panels, and homes that need safer, modern power.”
