Transforming Electrical Safety in Bay Area

At UV Electric, we pride ourselves on being your trusted partner for all electrical needs, particularly in the Bay Area where we have a solid reputation for excellence. Recently, we had the pleasure of working with Alexandre C., who reached out to us to address some pressing electrical safety concerns in their home.

The Challenge

Alexandre's home had old knob-and-tube wiring, which is not only outdated but also poses significant safety risks. With an emphasis on compliance with local regulations, Alexandre sought our help to upgrade the electrical system throughout the property. They contacted five other electricians, and we were honored that they chose us based on our thorough proposal and reasonable pricing. Alexandre noted the comprehensive nature of our assessment process, highlighting how we opened all the outlets to fully understand the scope of work before providing a bid.

Our Solution

Understanding the urgency and scope of the project, our team got to work. Here’s a summary of what we accomplished:

• Permit Submissions: We handled the necessary paperwork to submit a permit to the city, which involved coordinating with Alexandre to provide the required floor plans. Rita, our dedicated team member, ensured transparent communication throughout this process.

• Protecting Your Home: Before starting the electrical work, we took precautions by covering the floors and furniture to prevent any damage during construction.

• Full Rewiring: We rewired the home using Romex wiring, ensuring that it met current safety standards. Our approach included running new lines through the attic and crawl space, carefully avoiding any structural issues.

• Updating Outlets: Alexandre needed additional outlets and switches to enhance functionality. We positioned new outlets strategically and moved existing ones out of the baseboard, providing safer and more convenient access.

• Sub-panel Relocation and Safety Installations: We relocated the sub-panel to a safer location and installed hardwired interconnected smoke and carbon detectors in all required rooms to ensure that safety was prioritized.

• Finishing Touches: After accessing the walls for wiring, our team meticulously closed up all drywalls. We left every area clean and pristine, addressing any concerns along the way.

One of our team members even took the initiative to fix an outside light’s motion sensor for free, showcasing our commitment to customer satisfaction.

The Result

While the project took slightly longer than initially anticipated—something expected with construction—our communication remained a priority. Alexandre commended us for our responsiveness, stating that there was never a need to follow up as we were consistently available for updates.

Upon completion, we ensured that everything was up to standard but didn't stop there. When Alexandre pointed out minor issues with two baseboards not being fully caulked, we promptly returned and resolved the issue to their satisfaction.

"Overall, I've been very satisfied with Junior and his team. I'll hire him again for more work." - Alexandre C. --- Homeowner
