What we do in San Jose
San Jose runs the full electrical spectrum. Pre-1950 Craftsman and bungalow stock in Willow Glen, Naglee Park, and the Rose Garden still carries knob-and-tube. Cambrian and Almaden builds from the late 60s and early 70s often have aluminum branch wiring. Modern commercial, manufacturing, and biotech sit in Edenvale, Berryessa, and the airport corridor.
Monte Power & Electric handles all of it from one shop. Same crew on a residential 200A panel upgrade and a 1,600A three-phase commercial main. The fastest emergency response in our service area sits here too, because the trucks are based in San Jose.
