Or call (707) 803-6332We Map New Circuits At The Panel First
A garage conversion, an ADU or a kitchen opened up in a Green Valley remodel all begin in the same spot: the panel. Steve checks the spare capacity and the open breaker spaces, then lays out each new circuit with its breaker and wire size on paper. Only after that does a single box get cut into the drywall.
That habit runs through Steve’s whole career. Navy electrician first, then union work wiring the server rooms behind the early internet, then years leading crews that rewired buildings for other contractors. He files with the City of Fairfield building department, meets the inspector, and puts a lifetime warranty on the installation labor once the job is signed off.
Schedule A Free On-Site Scope- Layout on paper first: Circuit, breaker and wire size get settled before any wall is opened.
- ADUs and conversions: A subpanel fed from the main, sized for what the new unit will actually run.
- Tenant improvements: Power for a tenant’s equipment, including a transformer and subpanel when the gear needs a different voltage.
- City permits handled: Application, inspection visits and the final sign-off stay on our side of the desk.
- Labor covered for life: The installation workmanship is warrantied for good. Materials fall outside that coverage.
Work That Rides Along With A New Install
New circuits rarely arrive alone. These pages cover the work that tends to show up next to an install in Fairfield.
Panel Upgrades
When the numbers show the existing service cannot carry the added circuits, the panel gets done first. Read about our panel upgrade work in Fairfield.
Lighting Contractor
Recessed cans, under-cabinet strips and exterior fixtures are often part of the same remodel and get drawn into the same circuit layout. More on lighting design and install in Fairfield.
Generator Installation
If backup power is on your list for later, we can leave panel space and a clear route for the inlet or transfer switch while the walls are open. See backup power for Fairfield homes.
Electrical Repair
Opening walls in an older house can turn up a failing splice or a scorched device, and that gets repaired before anything new is tied in. That work is on our Fairfield repair page.

What People Ask Before New Wiring Goes In
Do you wire tenant improvements in Fairfield business spaces?
Yes. A new tenant often brings equipment the suite was never wired for. We work out what the machines draw, add the circuits, and when the gear runs on a different voltage, set a step-down transformer with its own subpanel. Permits go through the city, and the work is scheduled around the business.
Does a new circuit need a permit in Fairfield?
Most new circuits do, and the City of Fairfield building department decides what qualifies. We would rather file for one than guess. Steve handles the application, the inspector looks at the rough wiring before the walls close, and you keep the final sign-off with your house records.
Can you add circuits to a finished home without tearing up the walls?
Usually the damage stays small. Attic access, crawl spaces, existing chases and careful fishing let us run most new circuits through a few small openings. Where a cut has to happen, we keep it clean and place it where it patches easily, and we point out every opening before we make it.
How early should I call about a remodel or addition?
Call while the plans are still taking shape, before framing wraps up. Coming in early lets Steve size the circuits, flag any panel capacity issue, and get the electrical onto the permit with the rest of the project. Getting called after the walls close means more time and more drywall.
Do I need a panel upgrade before adding new circuits in my Fairfield home?
Sometimes. It depends on what the existing service can carry and what you are adding. A garage workshop, an EV charger, a kitchen remodel, or an ADU each add real load, and on an older Fairfield home the original panel may already be near its limit. We run a load calculation before installing anything, so we know whether the panel can take the new circuits or needs upgrading first. That up-front math is what keeps the finished work from tripping breakers under normal use.
Can you handle the electrical for a Fairfield ADU or garage conversion?
Yes. ADUs and garage conversions are a big part of the new installation work we do around Fairfield, and the electrical is where a lot of these projects get held up. A converted unit needs its own circuits for the kitchen, the bath, heating and cooling, and lighting, and it usually needs a subpanel fed from the main so the added load is carried cleanly. We plan the feed, size the subpanel for what the unit will run, and lay out the circuits to current code with the AFCI and GFCI protection an inspector will look for. Then we pull the permit and schedule the inspection with the city so the finished unit is signed off and legal.
Commercial And Residential
Fairfield is one of the most commercially active cities in Solano County, with retail corridors along West Texas Street and Travis Boulevard, industrial and warehouse space near Travis Air Force Base, and a steady stream of tenant improvement and new construction activity. Towers EC covers electrical installation work throughout Fairfield, from the older neighborhoods in the west part of the city where the housing stock was built in the 1950s and 1960s, to the newer subdivisions on the east side.
Residential Installation In Fairfield
New circuit installation for garage workshops, EV chargers, kitchen appliances, and outdoor lighting. Panel upgrades when the existing service capacity does not meet the load. ADU and guest unit electrical buildouts. Rewiring projects on older homes where the original wiring has deteriorated or does not meet current code. Whole-home generator installation with automatic transfer switching for properties where backup power matters.
Commercial Installation In Fairfield
Tenant improvement wiring, service upgrades for buildings changing tenant use, lighting fixture installation in retail and restaurant spaces, three-phase panel work for equipment-heavy commercial tenants, and coordination with Fairfield’s building department on permit applications and inspections. We know how the building department works, how to schedule an inspection to avoid delays, and how to document the work so the general contractor can keep their timeline moving.
Planned From The Panel Out
The difference between an installation that works for 30 years and one that causes trouble within a year usually comes down to whether the service was sized for the real load before the first circuit went in. We start at the panel. A load calculation tells us whether the existing service can carry what you are adding, or whether the panel needs an upgrade first. Skipping that step is how a kitchen remodel ends up tripping a breaker every time the oven and the dishwasher run together, or how a shop addition browns out the lights when the compressor kicks on. We do the math up front so the finished work behaves the way it should under full load, years after the inspector has signed off.
That planning matters more in Fairfield because the housing and commercial stock is so mixed. A 1955 ranch on the west side and a recent east-side build have completely different starting points, and a tenant suite that used to be a quiet office becomes a problem when a new tenant brings in equipment the circuits were never meant to feed. We scope the install for what the space will actually carry, build it to current code, pull the permit, and pass the inspection. Installation labor carries a lifetime warranty. If our work fails, we come back at no labor charge. Call (707) 803-6332 for a free on-site scope.
EV Chargers And Solar-Ready Circuits
A lot of new installation work in Fairfield right now is EV charging. A Level 2 charger draws real amperage, and dropping one in without checking the service is how people end up with a garage circuit that trips every time the car and the dryer run together. We look at the panel first, run the load numbers, and set the charger on its own properly sized circuit with the right breaker and wire gauge for the run to the garage or driveway. If the panel does not have the room or the capacity, we tell you that up front instead of forcing a charger onto a service that cannot hold it. The same goes for homes getting ready for solar or a battery. Getting the service and the mounting locations planned before the panels go on the roof saves a second round of trenching and conduit later.
New installation also means the smaller circuits that make a house work the way people expect. A dedicated 20 amp run for a garage freezer or a shop tool. Weatherproof outdoor receptacles on GFCI protection for the patio and the front of the house. Bathroom and kitchen circuits brought up to the counts the current code wants. Hardwired smoke and carbon monoxide detection tied together so they all sound at once. None of these are glamorous, but they are the circuits people notice when they are missing, and doing them right the first time in a Fairfield home means clean drywall cuts, honest labeling at the panel, and a finished job that passes inspection without a punch list.
