What we do in Los Gatos

From an Almond Grove rewire to a Los Gatos Hills standby generator.

Los Gatos runs heavily residential. Older Craftsman and Victorian stock around downtown and Almond Grove still carries knob-and-tube. Mid-century homes in Belgatos Park and the early hill builds frequently have aluminum branch wiring. Newer construction in the foothills sits on PG&E lines that lose power during PSPS season.

Generator installs and battery backup are a heavier share of the queue here than in flatter cities. Add panel upgrades to clear EV charger and battery headroom, plus the steady stream of downtown commercial tenant improvements along Santa Cruz Avenue, and the work covers most of what Los Gatos homeowners and small business owners ask for.

  • Hills + downtown Generator scope and downtown TI density.
  • 75-105 min Typical emergency arrival from San Jose base.
  • $2M General liability coverage on every job.

Quick answers

Los Gatos
questions.

Five of the most-asked from Los Gatos customers. More on the dedicated contact page or by phone.

  • How fast can you get to a Los Gatos address?
    Most Los Gatos addresses see a tech on site within 75 to 105 minutes for emergency dispatch. Hill addresses up Highway 17 or off Black Road run longer. The dispatcher gives a real ETA when the call comes in.
  • What neighborhoods do you cover?
    All of Los Gatos and the unincorporated hills. That includes downtown Los Gatos and Old Town, Almond Grove, Belgatos Park, Blossom Hill, Vasona, Glenridge, Surmont, the Los Gatos Hills, and Monte Sereno.
  • Do you handle the Town of Los Gatos permit process?
    Yes. Permits are pulled through the Town of Los Gatos Community Development Department and inspections scheduled with the AHJ directly. Customers don't fill out a form.
  • Do you work on older Los Gatos homes?
    Yes. Pre-1950 stock around downtown Los Gatos and Almond Grove often has knob-and-tube wiring. Mid-century homes in Belgatos Park and the early hill builds often carry aluminum branch wiring. Both are remediable, with insurance closeout documentation included.
  • Do you install generators for the Los Gatos Hills?
    Yes. The Los Gatos Hills get hit hard by PG&E PSPS shutoffs every fire season. Whole-home and high-capacity standby generators are a regular scope, often paired with battery backup for extended outages.
