FAQs
How did you get started in the electrical trade?
I apprenticed with Walter Underhill (another local Marin electrician) for five years before getting my license and going into business for myself in 2005. Walter’s work is absolutely excellent, and he taught me to continue in that tradition. Since going into business for myself, I have worked with Whitcomb Construction, Apperson & Hoog as well as Gail Koren, Chris Hodge and other realtors.
What type of electrical work do you do?
We specialize in new and remodel residential electrical work, as well as light commercial. Just a few of our common jobs are:
– Upgrading a dangerous old fusebox or Zinsco electrical panel.
– Adding recessed lighting to supplement or replace existing lighting.
– Troubleshooting outlets that have stopped working.
– Kitchen and bath remodels.
Do I need a transfer switch for my generator?
Hoffman Electric no longer installs transfer switches for generators. This is because transfer switch installation costs can be very expensive ($2,000 to $10,000) and these installations can be complicated to navigate through the red tape with different city building departments.
Instead of a transfer switch, you can power a few appliances during a power outage with a portable generator plugged into an outdoor outlet. This is a much simpler and more affordable option.
We offer generator through-the-wall transfer kits as an alternative to transfer switches. These kits are easy to install and are also more affordable than transfer switches.
