"Half the kitchen went dead on a Saturday. Found a burned neutral in a backstabbed outlet in 40 minutes, pigtailed the whole run properly. Charged exactly the quoted flat rate."

Wired right.
Inspected. Done.
Flickering lights and warm outlets aren't quirks — they're symptoms. Torrent Electric troubleshoots to the actual fault, fixes it to current NEC code, and stands behind it in writing. Same-day service, 24/7 for real emergencies.
The signature check
Is your house trying to tell you something?
Electrical fires rarely come out of nowhere — your wiring warns you first. Tick every box you've noticed in the last six months. Be honest. Nobody's watching.
Full service, one truck
What we do all day
Residential and light commercial. Every tech carries a meter, a torque screwdriver, and the current code book — and knows how to use all three.
Troubleshooting & repair
Dead circuits, mystery trips, half-hot outlets. $89 diagnostic, credited toward the repair when you say go.
Panel & service upgrades
100A to 200A swaps, meter-base replacement, and retiring hazard-brand panels — Federal Pacific and Zinsco, we're looking at you.
EV chargers
Level 2 (240V/48A) installs with load calculation, permit, and a NEMA 14-50 or hardwired unit. Most homes: $850–$1,600 installed.
Lighting & ceiling fans
Recessed LED retrofits, undercabinet runs, exterior security lighting, and fan installs on new switched circuits — no lamp-cord shortcuts.
Whole-home surge & safety
Type 2 surge protection at the panel ($325 installed), AFCI/GFCI breaker upgrades, and smoke/CO detector circuits.
Generators & transfer switches
Portable-generator inlet kits and interlock installs, plus standby generator hookups sized off your real load, not a guess.
The big one
Still on a 100-amp panel?
In 1985, 100 amps ran a house fine. Then came the hot tub, the induction range, the heat pump, and the EV in the driveway. Here's the honest math on what your service can carry.
| Service | Handles | EV + electric range + heat pump? |
|---|---|---|
| 100A | Lights, plugs, gas appliances, window AC | No — expect nuisance trips |
| 150A | Central AC, electric dryer, one big extra | Tight — load management needed |
| 200A | Modern all-electric home with room to grow | Yes — with capacity to spare |
Not sure what you have? Open your panel door and read the main breaker — the big number is your service size. Or text us a photo and we'll tell you.
On the record
Short reviews. Like our invoices.
"They flagged our Federal Pacific panel during a fan install, showed me the documentation on why, and swapped it to 200A the following Tuesday. Inspector signed off first visit."
"EV charger installed in about four hours, clean conduit run through the garage. Scheduling took a week longer than I hoped — worth the wait, but book ahead."
