Full Electrical Overhaul – Multi-Level Home Upgrade
We started by confirming with PG&E that relocating the main panel to the front of the house would work—then installed a full 200A overhead service and a 200A subpanel near the original meter. We added 20 new 15–20A circuits and 81 tamper-proof outlets, all protected by Fire Guard AFCI breakers.
The home now features dimmers in every room, occupancy and humidity sensors in each bathroom, and new Panasonic fan/light combos. Hardwired smoke and CO detectors were installed throughout. We also added surge protection to cover the entire home with a 5-year equipment warranty.
Dedicated 240V circuits and breakers were installed for the dryer and heavy loads, with a new 100A breaker for future needs. Clean, safe, and code-compliant—done right.

🚨 Small Fixes, Big Impact! 💡💨
In Orinda, we helped a homeowner freshen up their space with a few key upgrades: we installed a new bathroom ceiling fan to improve airflow and prevent moisture buildup, swapped out an old vanity light for a new customer-supplied fixture, and replaced the under-cabinet tube lighting in the kitchen for brighter, more efficient task lighting.
Simple upgrades like these go a long way toward comfort, safety, and style. If your lighting or ventilation needs an upgrade — we’ve got you!

Power issues in the kitchen and living room traced back to an outdated service panel—likely original to the home. We performed a full 200A overhead service replacement, installed new grounding, whole-home surge protection, and upgraded the panel with AFCI and 240V breakers for added safety. New circuits were run for essential appliances, and we replaced several GFCIs, a range receptacle, and lighting fixtures. We also installed interconnected smoke/CO alarms for extra peace of mind. Keeping our elders safe and powered up, one home at a time. 💪⚡️

Meter Relocation & Service Upgrade for Insurance Compliance
To help a customer meet insurance requirements, we relocated 6 electrical meters—each with its own 50A disconnect. Due to the location of windows, we likely had to shift the meters either to the opposite wall or about 15–20 feet down the same wall, behind a wooden door. We also utilized access points in the crawlspace and garage to efficiently run wiring. This job included a complete 320–400A service replacement, complete with a new main panel, upgraded wiring, and conduit.

EV Charger + Surge Protection Options ⚡🚗
We visited a home today to plan a Tesla charger install on a full 200A panel. After review, we offered 4 solutions:
1️⃣ Remove the junction box, upsize conduit, reroute wiring, and install a surge protector with tandem breakers to make space.
2️⃣ Same as above, but without the surge protector (shorter charger warranty).
3️⃣ Run surface-mounted conduit above chimney/windows to charger location, with surge protector + tandem breakers.
4️⃣ Same as #3 but without surge protection.
💡 A whole home surge protector defends your EV charger, fridge, furnace, and more from power surges—and extends your Tesla charger warranty to 5 years.

Breaker kept tripping when the oven was in use — even after a recent replacement by building maintenance. The customer noticed it began when using the oven at 450°F and worsened to the point where even the stovetop caused trips. We inspected the panel and found loose connections at the breaker terminals. After properly tightening them, we tested the oven at full capacity — no more trips! Another solid fix from Spark Smith Electric. 🔧🔥⚡

Downtown Oakland High-Rise LED Strip Replacement
Our team was called out to the 15th floor of the AC Hotel & Residence Inn in Downtown Oakland to replace a 20-foot LED strip light. The fixture was mounted on the side of the building, requiring use of a swing gate (window washing platform) to access safely. We coordinated with building management to certify and operate the platform, and accessed the lighting panel located on the roof. This kind of work takes skill, safety, and solid communication—right in our wheelhouse.

We stopped by to assess lighting upgrades and came up with multiple solutions to brighten up the space while keeping a clean, uniform look. We’re replacing old fixtures with new 6" LED disc lights, upgrading all 2x4 fluorescents to ballast-bypass LED tubes with consistent color temperature (4000K–5000K), and adding disc lights where it’s too dim—especially in the photo and treatment rooms. We’ll also replace any burnt-out bulbs to bring everything back to life. Finally, we’re protecting their investment by installing whole-business surge protection to keep all electronics safe from unexpected utility surges.

Installed a new EV charger setup for a customer upgrading from single-family to townhouse living. The charger needed to be in the shared front carport, so we ran a 240V 50A circuit in ¾" conduit up to 50 feet from the panel, installed a 120V tandem breaker, replaced an old range receptacle with an EV-ready outlet, and upgraded the cover to a rain-tight, in-use model for protection.
Safe, clean, and future-ready charging right where it’s needed.
