Local Expertise
Electrical Work in San Francisco's Older Housing Stock
San Francisco’s electrical challenges are shaped by its housing stock. A large share of the city’s homes are Victorian and Edwardian buildings built before 1930, many of which still have knob-and-tube wiring, undersized subpanels, or ungrounded circuits left over from earlier renovations. When an electrician in San Francisco opens up a wall in one of these homes, it’s common to find wiring that was never intended to run today’s appliance loads, microwaves, EV chargers, and multiple space heaters on a single circuit built for a couple of lamps.
