Towers EC serves Martinez out of our Vacaville headquarters. When you call for electrical work in Martinez, you get Steve Torres, CA Lic. 847255, 30+ years as a master electrician. Not a dispatcher, not a subcontracted crew. The person who answers is the person who shows up.
Before Towers EC, Steve built his diagnostic method working on Navy electrical systems and server room infrastructure for the early internet. That background shows on every job: we find the actual fault, pull the permit, pass the inspection, and guarantee the installation labor for life.
Martinez is the Contra Costa County seat, a refinery town on the Carquinez Strait with a deep historic core. The downtown and the older neighborhoods around it are full of early-twentieth-century homes, the kind with original panels, knob-and-tube still in the walls, and a century of remodels layered on top. That older stock is steady panel-upgrade and rewiring work. Up in the hills and the later subdivisions the housing is newer but often built to the minimum service, so the work there leans toward added circuits and capacity. As the county seat, Martinez also carries a base of civic and commercial buildings with their own electrical needs. We reach Martinez from Vacaville just across the Benicia bridge, which makes it one of the closer stops on our Contra Costa route.

What Towers EC Does In Martinez
The historic downtown and the older neighborhoods around it are where most of our Martinez work lives. These are homes from the early twentieth century, built in the refinery and county-seat era, and many still run their original service and original wiring. A 1920s Martinez home can have a small fused panel, knob-and-tube in the walls, and no grounding to modern standards. We bring those homes current: replacing live knob-and-tube, running new grounded circuits, and setting a panel that can carry how the home is actually used today. It is careful work in homes worth doing right, and it is some of the most common work we do here.
Panel Upgrades And Service Changes
An older Martinez service usually cannot support what a household runs now, central air, a kitchen remodel, a heat pump, an EV charger, and in many cases the work you want done will not pass an inspection until the service is brought current. We run a real load calculation, upgrade to 200 amps where it fits, and pull the City of Martinez permit so the new service is inspected and signed off. We size to where the home is headed, not to barely pass.
Diagnostics And Newer-Home Work
On any Martinez repair we find the actual fault before we quote it, which in century-old homes means tracing problems back through layers of past work. That is what three decades in the tools is for. In the hill subdivisions and later builds the wiring is sound but minimal, so the work there is more often adding the circuits and capacity the household needs. You do not pay for a fix until we know what it is.
Permits, Inspection, Lifetime Labor Warranty
Every Martinez job that needs a permit gets one, pulled through the city, with the inspection scheduled by us and the documentation handed to you at the end. Every installation, knob-and-tube replacement included, is backed by a lifetime warranty on the labor, covered for as long as you own the property.
