“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.”
Twin Lakes electrician — coastal service
Between Santa Cruz and Capitola. Beach-adjacent. Salt-air panel work the bread-and-butter.
Twin Lakes is the coastal band between Santa Cruz and Capitola — mid-century housing dominated by salt-air-corrosion-driven panel work. Same realities as Pleasure Point + East Cliff. EV charger demand high. Vacation rental compliance common.
Jurisdictionally, Twin Lakes is part of the unincorporated Live Oak coastal strip — permits go through Santa Cruz County Planning, not the City of Santa Cruz. Simple permits are often same- or next-day; more complex scopes can take longer — we pull the permit and give you the realistic timeline with your quote.
Every kind of electrical work in Twin Lakes.
What people here actually call us about.
“Coastal panel replacement”
Standard Twin Lakes call.
“Beach rental needs to pass County STR compliance”
Twin Lakes is unincorporated County, so the County Vacation Rental Ordinance applies — GFCI proximity, hardwired smoke + CO, guest-load circuits. We know the checklist.
“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!”
