Most electrical contractors hire out. Towers EC is different. Steve Torres, Master Electrician with CA Lic. 847255, has spent 30+ years building a reputation on one thing: when you call, the person who answers is the person who shows up. From tenant improvements to generator installations, from panel upgrades to troubleshooting intermittent faults, we’ve seen it all and fixed it all.
Electrical problems usually aren’t simple. A flickering light, a dead outlet, a breaker that keeps tripping. Those are symptoms, not the problem. The real work is diagnosis. We trace the fault back to where it actually starts, whether that’s a loose neutral, an overloaded circuit, or a panel that was never sized for the load it carries now. Guessing at electrical work is how people end up paying twice and still living with the fault.
That diagnostic habit comes from the work this company was built on. Years in the Navy as an electrician, then time in the union building the server rooms that kept the early internet running. That work didn’t allow for blips, so the standard was simple: find the real cause, fix it once, and prove it holds. The same precision goes into a Vacaville panel upgrade or a tripping kitchen circuit today.
We also don’t upsell. If a single breaker fixes your problem, you get a single breaker, not a full panel you didn’t need. We tell you what the work actually requires, what it’ll cost on a free scope, and what’s worth doing now versus later. Happy customers are the only reputation that matters, and you don’t earn that by selling people work they don’t need.

Why The Master License Matters
A lot of people don’t know there’s a difference between a journeyman and a master electrician, and on most service calls it never comes up. A journeyman is fully licensed to do electrical work under a contractor’s license. A master electrician has gone further: more years in the field, a tougher state exam, and the authority to pull permits and hold the contractor’s license in their own name. That last part is the one that actually affects you.
CA Lic. 847255 is that master designation. It means the person responsible for the work on your property is the same person standing behind the permit, the inspection, and the code compliance. There’s no trainee crew running a job while the licensed name stays back at the shop. When an inspector signs off on a Towers EC panel or service, that approval traces straight back to the license number on the truck.
For a homeowner or a commercial property owner, that’s the difference between hoping the work was done right and knowing it was. Electrical work that’s done wrong doesn’t always show up the day it’s installed. It shows up later, as a warm panel, a nuisance trip, or worse. A master license is a thirty-year track record that the work was done to the standard the first time. That’s also why the lifetime warranty on install labor is on the table: when you do it right, standing behind it costs you nothing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a Master Electrician and a regular electrician?
A journeyman is fully licensed to do electrical work under a contractor’s license. A master electrician has cleared a tougher state exam, carries additional liability, and can pull permits and hold the contractor’s license in their own name. CA Lic. 847255 is that master designation. In practice it means the person responsible for the work is the same person standing behind the permit, the inspection, and the code sign-off, not a remote name on a license while a trainee crew runs the job.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Commercial is our primary focus, including tenant improvements, industrial panels, generator systems, and lighting retrofits. A lot of that comes out of years building server-room infrastructure, where the systems had to be precise and the work had to hold. We also take residential work, especially panel upgrades and whole-home generator installs. If your project is more complex than a standard service call, that’s the work this company was built for.
How much does an electrician cost in Vacaville?
Diagnostic work is typically a flat call-out fee, and project work is quoted after an on-site look so the number reflects what your job actually needs. We don’t charge extra for pulling permits or scheduling inspections, because those are part of doing the job right, not add-ons. You also won’t get sold work you don’t need: if a single breaker solves the problem, that’s what you pay for. Call (707) 803-6332 for a free scope.
How quickly can you respond to an electrical emergency?
We aim for same-day response on active electrical faults during business hours, which are Monday through Friday 7am to 6pm and Saturday 10am to 2pm. A dead circuit, a breaker that keeps tripping, or a panel that’s warm to the touch is worth handling right away, since those are symptoms of something that won’t fix itself. If you’re dealing with a safety issue like burning smell, sparking, or scorched outlets, call us directly at (707) 803-6332 rather than waiting on a form.
Do you serve areas outside Vacaville?
Yes. Vacaville is home base, but we cover roughly a 50-mile radius from there. That includes all of Solano County plus Napa, Sonoma, Marin, Contra Costa, Alameda, and Yolo counties, reaching from the North Bay across the East Bay and into the Napa Valley. If you’re not sure whether you’re inside the radius, call (707) 803-6332 and we’ll tell you straight, no runaround.
