Towers EC serves Richmond out of our Vacaville headquarters. When you call for electrical work in Richmond, 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.
Richmond is an older industrial city on the Contra Costa shoreline, and its housing carries that history. Much of the stock dates to the early and mid 1900s, built during the shipyard and refinery boom, which puts a lot of Richmond homes squarely in panel-upgrade and knob-and-tube replacement territory. The historic Point Richmond district has some of the oldest of it, charming homes on small lots with services that were never sized for a modern household. Along the waterfront and through the city’s industrial and commercial zones there is a steady stream of older buildings being put to new uses, which is its own kind of electrical work. From Vacaville we reach Richmond down Interstate 80 along the bay, and it sits on our regular Contra Costa rotation.

Permits for panel upgrades, knob-and-tube replacement, and service changes in Richmond go through the City of Richmond building regulations division, and we file the application and schedule the inspection ourselves.

What Towers EC Does In Richmond
Richmond’s older housing is the heart of our work here. Homes built in the early and mid 1900s during the shipyard and refinery years often still run their original wiring and original service, neither of which was meant for the way a household uses power today. Point Richmond has some of the oldest of it. A 1920s home there can have a small fused service, no grounding to speak of, and decades of patched-in additions. We bring those homes up to current: replacing knob-and-tube where it is still live, running new grounded circuits, and setting a panel that can carry the load.
Panel Upgrades And Service Changes
Most Richmond homes that call us need the panel addressed. An undersized or obsolete service cannot support a kitchen remodel, a heat pump, or an EV charger, and in many cases it cannot pass an inspection on the work you actually want done until the service is current. We run a real load calculation, upgrade to 200 amps where it fits, and pull the City of Richmond permit so the new service is inspected and signed off. We size to where the home is going, not to the bare minimum.
Diagnostics And Commercial Reuse
On any Richmond repair we find the real fault before we quote it, which in century-old homes means tracing a problem back through layers of past work. That is what three decades in the tools is for. Along the waterfront and through Richmond’s industrial and commercial zones, older buildings are constantly being put to new uses, and that adaptive reuse needs electrical reworked for the new occupancy, lighting, added circuits, panel capacity, and code compliance. You do not pay for a fix until we know what it is.
Permits, Inspection, Lifetime Labor Warranty
Every Richmond 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.
