Electrician in Pacifica, CA — Local Expert for Coastal Homes

Hi, I’m Roman, an electrician based in Pacifica. I’ve been working in this field since 2015 — over the years I’ve seen it all: breakers tripping in old houses, running new lines for modern lighting, or installing EV chargers in coastal garages.

Why Pacifica Is Unique

Pacifica sits right on the ocean, and electricity here plays by its own rules. Salt air and constant fog speed up corrosion on panels and connections, especially in homes around Sharp Park. People often notice sparking breakers, heating outlets, or outdoor lights burning out much faster than expected.

Fairmont & Vallemar: Old Wiring Systems

In Fairmont and Vallemar, many houses still run on aluminum wiring from the 60s–70s, twisted splices without junction boxes, and outdated panels without AFCI protection. These setups struggle with today’s heavy appliances like electric stoves, dryers, or home office equipment. Rewiring and panel upgrades are some of the most common calls here.

Linda Mar & Park Pacifica: EV Charging in Demand

Closer to the beach in Linda Mar and Park Pacifica, EV chargers are in high demand. Popular installs include the Tesla Wall Connector, as well as universal Level 2 chargers (NEMA 14-50, J1772). To keep these running safely alongside ovens, dryers, and other household loads, I often add dedicated lines and balance the panel capacity carefully.

Rockaway Beach: Reliable Power for Coastal Businesses

Rockaway Beach is lined with hotels, cafés, and small shops where even short outages can cost money. The top priorities here are dedicated circuits for refrigerators and kitchen equipment, surge protection for sensitive electronics, and GFCIs in wet areas. Backup solutions — from transfer switches to small generators — are also common requests.

“Most of my calls in Pacifica come down to the same story: salt air, old wiring, and modern appliances that push systems to their limits. Fixing these makes homes safer and businesses more reliable.”
