Treasure Island Electrician in San Francisco Bay — Old Bases, New Living

Why Treasure Island Is Unique

Treasure Island is unlike anywhere else in the Bay. Originally built as a naval base, many of its buildings still carry aging electrical systems from the mid-20th century. At the same time, new apartments and developments are popping up, demanding modern wiring, EV chargers, and reliable power for everyday living.

Because the island sits in the middle of the Bay, moisture and salt air cause fast corrosion on panels, outdoor outlets, and lighting. In older units, I often find aluminum wiring, ungrounded receptacles, or fuse boxes that can’t handle today’s loads. New builds, on the other hand, require careful load balancing for EV charging stations, kitchen appliances, and HVAC systems.

What I Typically See on Treasure Island

Old military housing with outdated breaker panels and original wiring.
Moisture damage on outdoor circuits, lights, and conduits.
Overloaded kitchens running modern appliances on limited circuits.
No GFCI protection in bathrooms, garages, and outdoor outlets.
New developments needing EV chargers, modern lighting, and smart home wiring.

Common Fixes I Do on Treasure Island

Panel upgrades — replacing fuse boxes with modern breaker panels, adding AFCI/GFCI protection.
Rewiring old housing — swapping out aluminum/cloth wiring for copper with proper grounding.
Weatherproofing outdoor systems — corrosion-resistant conduit, outlets, and lighting.
EV charger installs — Tesla Wall Connector, Level 2 chargers (NEMA 14-50, J1772).
Dedicated circuits for kitchens, HVAC, and laundry in both old and new homes.
Lighting upgrades for streets, apartments, and small businesses along the waterfront.

“On Treasure Island, I’ve seen everything from original Navy base wiring to brand-new EV charger installs — it’s one of the most unique places I work.”

If you live or run a business on Treasure Island, safe wiring and panel upgrades are key to keeping your space reliable and ready for the future.
