Repairs and safety

Something stopped working, feels warm, tingles or keeps tripping? It is much safer to call a licensed electrician than to try the repair yourself.

Troubleshooting and repair

Lost power in part of the house, or equipment that stopped working? A technician comes out to troubleshoot and diagnose the problem, explains it clearly and gives you repair options before any work starts.

Service call $79, diagnostic $89Troubleshooting in detail

Electrical fire damage repair

Before any repair, a qualified electrician inspects the damage: burned wires and melted outlets you can see, damage hidden in walls and ceilings, and the state of the panel, circuits and grounding. Then we repair or rewire.

Knob and tube and aluminum wiring

Both are common in older homes, and both can overheat and cause a fire if not properly installed or repaired. We inspect for wear and faulty connections, then recommend repairs or a rewire, with outlets and switches made for aluminum wiring.

GFCI, outlets and switches

GFCI outlets cut the power when current leaks, protecting against shock and helping prevent fires. We install and service them, fix outlets and switches that are warm or not working, replace two-prong outlets and add outlets where you are short.

Electrical inspection

If it has been five years or more since your last electrical inspection, call to schedule one. We check your panel, wiring and devices against the National Electrical Code, which matters when you buy, sell or renovate.

Quick response, friendly and efficient service from Steve. Replaced a malfunctioning GFI, installed a new one in our other bathroom, and rewired another problem outlet. We’ll call again the next time we need an electrician.

Extremely professional and competent electrical experts; Nick quickly troubleshot and repaired all previous faulty wiring. Taurus Electrical will explain everything they’re doing and provide guidance on options and ways forward. Honest hardworking folks that not only provide solutions, but don’t pressure recommendations that aren’t necessary. A “go-to” company from now on!

Panels and power

The panel is the center of your home's electrical system. Keeping it current keeps everything downstream safe.

Main service panel upgrades

Electrical panels should be upgraded every ten years so they keep processing power safely. We replace main panels up to 400 amps and add sub-panels from 30 to 200 amps, including Zinsco replacements, pull permits when needed and work with PG&E and city inspectors.

Sub-panels from $975, main panels from $7,000Panel upgrades in detail

Whole-home surge protection

Surges come from lightning, from large appliances cycling on and off, even from ants in an outdoor sub-panel. A surge protector at the panel protects every appliance and device in the house.

Home backup generators

Backup power is essential during rolling blackouts. We install portable generator transfer switches, including interlock and Reliance Controls, hook up home standby generators, and maintain or upgrade the one you have.

Transfer switch $1,250 to $2,500

Dedicated circuits

New appliances, 240 V tools and EV chargers need a circuit of their own. We work out the best route and method to power them, at home or in the office.

Whole-house rewiring

In older homes, faulty wiring and poor grounding are a fire risk. We rewire to current code and bring outlets and switches up to match.

Smoke detectors

We install and maintain smoke detection so every alarm in the house is properly wired and working.

EV, spa and outdoor living

The bigger loads a modern home adds: an electric car, a hot tub, lights and fans outside.

Taurus is a great company to work with. We had a lot of electrical work that needed to be done on a house we had purchased. They treated us with respect throughout the process. Steve gave us an estimated time line and stuck to it. Nick was also always very professional with the work he did, always polite and courteous. Both took time to explain things to us and answer questions as they came up. We do have some more electrical work that will need to be done eventually, and we will definitely be calling Taurus again.

Great service. Showed up exactly on time (first for any technician in my life), and was done in the expected amount of time. Very professional service and quality job. They worked with me to create changes to my garage and were able to achieve what I wanted safely and correctly. Definitely recommend and will be using them for additional projects in the future.

Steve at Taurus Electrical did a great job for Fairfield Pacific Little League. He quickly helped resolve electrical issues in our concessions stand that we've been dealing with for years. Would highly recommend.
