Millbrae Electrician — Safe Wiring for Modern Homes and Families

Why Millbrae Is Unique

Millbrae sits just north of SFO and mixes mid-century family homes with modern condos and apartments. In older houses, I often see aluminum wiring, ungrounded outlets, and undersized panels. Meanwhile, newer builds are asking for EV chargers, dedicated circuits for high-load appliances, and smart home wiring for lights, security, and solar integration.

Because Millbrae is near the Bay, fog and moisture are common issues for outdoor outlets and lighting. Homeowners often want upgrades that make their systems safe while adding modern capacity for appliances, offices, and cars.

What I Typically See in Millbrae

  • Old breaker panels running out of space for new circuits.
  • Aluminum or cloth wiring in mid-century homes.
  • EV charger demand in garages and driveways (Tesla Wall Connector, Level 2 chargers).
  • Smart home setups needing proper wiring for lighting, thermostats, and security systems.
  • Outdoor circuits corroded by fog and Bay moisture.
  • Kitchens and laundry needing dedicated 20A circuits to prevent overloads.

Common Fixes I Do in Millbrae

  • Panel upgrades with AFCI/GFCI protection and more breaker capacity.
  • Rewiring older homes with safe copper wiring and proper grounding.
  • EV charger installs with load balancing and dedicated circuits.
  • Smart home wiring for lighting, automation, and solar-ready systems.
  • Outdoor wiring upgrades with weatherproof fixtures and conduit.
  • Dedicated circuits for kitchens, laundry, and garages.

“Most Millbrae calls are for EV chargers, panel upgrades, and smart home wiring — families here want modern systems that are safe and reliable.”

If your Millbrae home needs safer wiring, a new panel, or smart upgrades, I can help make your system ready for today and the future.
