Fixture and fan work that checks box rating and circuit capacity first, and plans around pre-war plaster ceilings instead of punishing them.
Lighting and fan work here runs into the same two facts as everywhere in the older East Bay: ceiling boxes that were never rated for a fan's weight and movement, and switch legs wired to standards that predate modern loads. The visit checks box rating and circuit capacity before hanging anything, and in the pre-war rooms it plans around plaster ceilings that punish careless cutting. Recessed retrofits in post-war tracts are the simpler work, and the quote should say which kind of ceiling it is pricing.
Lighting is scheduled work, except where the fault is the circuit rather than the fixture: flicker across multiple fixtures, heat at a switch, or a breaker involved moves the job to the repair pages. A fan that drops its speed settings or reverses randomly is usually a control or receiver fault, a part level fix, not a new fan.
📞 PLACEHOLDERPanel replacement built on a written load calculation, sized for the charger and heat pump loads coming next, with permit and utility steps on the schedule.
Emergency triage that separates a PG&E street outage from a house fault first, then reads burning smells and buzzing panels against the wiring era in the walls.
Era honest rewiring: knob and tube behind downtown plaster, aluminum branch terminations in the tracts, each scoped room by room, never as a guess.
The two prong problem solved honestly in San Leandro's older stock: grounded rewires where access allows, labeled ground fault protection where the code recognizes it.
