From our Google reviews
“Cory from ASL came to our house to provide a more precise estimate for our project. Unfortunately, we do not have enough room in the electric panel to add another 240v breaker. He told us the bad news even though that means no business for ASL. He also shared his honest opinions on what we could do and did not charge us the fee for his visit.”
“Walter was prompt and able to check our breaker that we wanted him to look at. Upon returning with the new information I gave him he was able to find the root of a different problem that needed to be fixed.”
Power for barns and outbuildings
Running power to a barn, arena, workshop or guest house usually means a feeder from the main panel to a subpanel in the outbuilding, often through an underground conduit. The feeder is sized for the building's loads, such as lighting, fans, water heaters for troughs, tools and outlets, and the outbuilding needs proper grounding and protection, including GFCI where required. Barns are dusty and sometimes damp, so we choose fixtures and devices suited to the environment.
Updating older homes near the Mission
Older homes near the Mission and in the Los Rios area may have small services, ungrounded circuits and wiring added over many decades. Updating them takes care: routing new wire through attics and crawl spaces, protecting original finishes, and choosing fixtures that suit the home. We start with an evaluation and give you options, from targeted repairs to a full update.
