Our Services

Replacing worn and aging systems American Electrical upgrades electrical panels and wiring for all kinds of electrical systems and appliances, including washers, dryers, microwaves and heaters,as well as lighting for security, landscapes and home interiors.

To comply with the current fire and safety standards, insurance companies now require that homeowners replace their fuse boxes with circuit breaker panels. Even the old Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Panel/Breaker Hazard Summary breaker panels installed in homes built in the 1950s, 60s and 70s are documented to be a fire hazard.

The upgrades shown are conversions from overhead PG&E poles to underground systems in three-unit, two-unit, single-family and one-unit residences.


American Electrical works with homeowners and contractors on their remodels and renovation projects. Whether we are using plans, following personal instructions or designing and building, we will give you the service and quality you expect for a competitive price. Your satisfaction is our goal.
