Between Felton and Boulder Creek. Older valley homes + custom mountain builds. PSPS + generator work standard.
Ben Lomond is the small mountain community between Felton and Boulder Creek. Same San Lorenzo Valley electrical reality as those two — long service runs, PSPS shutoffs, older mountain housing with mixed electrical stock.
The Ben Lomond housing tilts a little older than Felton on average — more 1900s–1940s mountain cabins, fewer modern custom builds. Electrical stock is highly variable; we often find FPE, Zinsco, or knob and tube mixed in with later additions. Comprehensive rewires + panel upgrades are common.
Like Felton + Boulder Creek, generator + battery work is standard. PSPS shutoffs are part of Ben Lomond life.
Permits go through Santa Cruz County Planning.
Standard San Lorenzo Valley configuration.
Common Ben Lomond project. Multiple generations of electrical work means thorough inspection first.
“Thank you to the Sunrise Electrical Contracting team for updating the new main electrical system on my mom's home after the storm damaged the power lines and home equipment this winter… They replaced Main Service Upgrade Overhead, and added a Sub-Panel Install/Replacement Outdoors… the team of Branden, Jimmy, Ian, and Tylor worked long hours during the storm for a few days to get us up and running again before the next storm arrived.”
“Sunrise Electrical rewired our house, replacing the old knob-and-tube wiring with seamless, safe, and up-to-code wiring at a very reasonable price. They were incredibly efficient, worked cleanly, and addressed all our questions and concerns with care. We can't recommend them highly enough!”
“Branden & his experienced crew installed a Level 2 electric charger together with an extra 240v outlet in our Live Oak garage. They were informed, congenial, & professional and their work was timely and permitted as required by the County. (The cost of the County permit was 53% of the entire project cost — no 5 stars for the County.) I highly recommend Sunrise Electrical!”
