Tri-Phase Electric

PALO ALTO / ELECTRICAL SERVICES

Electrical work in Palo Alto.

We help Palo Alto property owners plan electrical panel replacement, EV charging, and LED lighting with local utility coordination in mind. Our work also includes electrical installations for remodels, homes, and business spaces.

LET’S TALK ABOUT YOUR PROJECT

Include the utility connection in the plan.

For panel work, show us the existing meter area and tell us whether service arrives overhead or underground. Palo Alto’s utility guidance explains that some upgrades involve changes to service connections or underground conduit, so we review that possibility before settling the installation scope.

Tell us about the property, the work you have in mind, and your preferred timing. We’ll contact you to discuss the next steps for a free estimate.

LOCAL PROJECT PLANNING

Permits and coordination in Palo Alto.

Palo Alto’s panel-upgrade guidance distinguishes City building permits from Utilities Engineering coordination. Panel placement and connection requirements need local review. We coordinate the electrical scope with the City and the applicable utility team rather than assume a PG&E process applies.

Questions before you start.

Should I assume PG&E’s panel process applies in Palo Alto?

No. Start with the utility serving your property. Palo Alto publishes its own electric-service requirements and Utilities Engineering process; we confirm the applicable coordination for your address.

Does installing a charger always mean a larger panel?

No. We first assess the existing capacity and proposed equipment. Palo Alto’s guidance encourages considering equipment choices and load-management options before deciding a service increase is necessary.
