Installed a new customer-supplied Ring camera floodlight combo over the center of this garage.

We pulled power from an existing garage outlet, ran the wiring neatly through conduit, and brought it over to the new floodlight location. Now the customer has better lighting, better security, and full camera access through the Ring app.

Clean install, everything working properly, and another happy customer.

Small closet wiring cleanup in Thousand Oaks ⚡️

This customer had an existing switch and outlet in a closet under the stairs that was not done properly or up to code.

We cleaned everything up by running the wiring through the wall the right way, installing a new switch and outlet, and setting it up so the switch controls the outlet for the existing closet light.

Now everything looks cleaner, works properly, and is brought up to code.

Customer’s happy, and we’re on to the next one.

⚡ Another EV charger install completed out in Thousand Oaks. We ran a new dedicated circuit directly from the main electrical panel and installed a new NEMA 14-50 outlet right behind the panel in the garage for a clean and efficient setup. We also mounted the customer-supplied EV charger and got everything up and running safely and up to code. Now they’ve got fast charging at home and are ready to go. Customer’s super happy — on to the next one. 🔋⚡

Cleaned up an outdoor electrical setup out in Santa Rosa Valley using existing power that had been previously run by a retired electrician. We upgraded everything properly and safely by installing new weather-resistant GFI outlets with bubble covers, then ran new conduit up to a switch location and over to a switched outlet setup. All conduit was bent clean and precise for a professional finished look, and every outdoor location is now fully GFI protected and up to code. We also replaced another existing GFI location to make sure the whole setup was safe and reliable for the customer. Everything came out super clean and the customer’s happy. On to the next one ⚡

⚡️ Garage Rewire & Cleanup Out in Camarillo ⚡️

Went to a customer’s house where the garage wiring was definitely not installed properly. There were extension cords, exposed Romex, unsafe connections, and wiring run everywhere with no real organization or protection.

We went in, cleaned everything up, removed the unsafe wiring, rewired the existing lighting properly, added new outlet locations, and brought everything back up to code using surface-mounted conduit and MC cable for a clean, professional finish.

Now everything is safe, functional, and looks 100x better. Customer’s happy and we’re on to the next one. 💡⚡️

Hey, Ventura County Homeowners!
Do you have an electricity backup solution when the grid goes down?

Having a reliable backup power plan is essential for homeowners, especially if you have young children or a home office.

We offer expert residential backup ⚡generator planning and installation services for individuals seeking a more cost-effective solution compared to a 🏡whole-home ‘standby’ generator or 🔋battery backup system.

✅Interlock Kit Installations – A smart solution that lets you safely power key circuits by integrating the generator directly into your main panel.

✅Transfer Switch Setups – Best for larger systems or future whole-home power options — gives you a reliable, code-compliant connection.

Why Backup Power Matters:
• Keeps essential systems running like refrigeration & essential circuits
• Offers peace of mind and comfort during outages — especially during extreme weather.

Call us today to schedule a consultation on your backup generator options, we’re experts in residential electrical  and we’re locals based in Thousand Oaks ⚡

Power outages? Not a problem ⚡

Customer wanted reliable backup power using a portable generator, but the main panel wasn’t set up for an interlock kit. So we built a better solution.

We installed a dedicated sub-panel for essential circuits — refrigerators, freezers, lighting, and key outlets — so when the power goes out, they’re still up and running.

Added an interlock kit to the sub-panel and a clean exterior inlet for easy generator hookup. Safe, code-compliant, and ready when it matters most.

Another home protected and ready to go.
