Common Questions

Things homeowners actually ask.

Are you a licensed electrical contractor?

Yes. SOT Electric Inc is a California State-licensed C-10 electrical contractor. Our CSLB license number is 1062166. Every job we perform is under that license, with permits pulled and inspections completed where required.

Do you pull permits?

Always, when the work requires one. Panel upgrades, service changes, rewires, new circuits that cross walls or ceilings, and most EV charger installs all require permits, and we pull them and meet the inspector on site. Skipping permits is how homeowners end up with insurance denials and failed real-estate disclosures later.

What areas do you serve?

We serve west Contra Costa County — Richmond, El Cerrito, Albany, Pinole, Hercules, San Pablo, El Sobrante, and Crockett are our core cities. Call us if you are nearby and not sure.

How much does a 200A panel upgrade cost?

It depends on the house, the current service location, PG&E coordination, and whether the meter base needs to move. Honest range for a standard 200A upgrade in west Contra Costa is typically a few thousand dollars — we give every customer a written quote before any work starts.

Can you install a Level 2 EV charger?

Yes — that is one of our most common jobs. We load-calc your existing panel, run a dedicated 240V circuit in the correct gauge, install your charger (Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, Grizzl-E, Emporia, whatever you have), and pull the permit.

Do you work on weekends or emergencies?

Regular hours are Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm. For dangerous situations — sparking panels, burning smells, dead service — call us anyway and we will triage.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes. Our labor is guaranteed, and the materials we install carry their manufacturer warranties. We stand behind every job under CSLB license #1062166.

Do you handle commercial electrical work?

Small to medium commercial — tenant improvements, service upgrades, lighting, troubleshooting, and remodels. We are not the right fit for ground-up industrial projects, but for service calls and TIs across west Contra Costa, yes.
