Older Pasatiempo Golf Club neighborhood + surrounding hillside homes. Higher-end electrical work + occasional PSPS exposure.
Pasatiempo is the area around the Pasatiempo Golf Club + surrounding hillside neighborhoods between Santa Cruz and Scotts Valley. Housing mix: 1925–1965 country-club-era homes + newer custom hillside builds + scattered older properties. Electrical work tends toward whole-home design + premium installations — Tesla Wall Connectors with cable management, integrated solar+battery setups, smart-home wiring.
PSPS exposure is moderate — between coastal cities (low) and the San Lorenzo Valley (very high). Generator + battery demand exists but isn't the dominant conversation. Pasatiempo is unincorporated Santa Cruz County, so permits go through County Planning; we handle that as part of every quote.
Pasatiempo customer pattern. Span panel + smart switches + integrated EV + solar+battery.
Specific to the country-club-era stock.
“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!”
Pasatiempo is unincorporated Santa Cruz County — permits go through County Planning, even though Scotts Valley and Santa Cruz city limits are both minutes away.
