Frequently Asked Questions

Sunrise is a Santa Cruz County electrical contractor — founded in 2022 by Branden H. The whole company is built around service work for existing homes — see About for the founder story.

Sunrise = “where the day starts.” Santa Cruz County faces east into the Monterey Bay; sunrise is when the coastal light is at its best. The name is local + literal.

Yes — owned and operated by Branden H. Not a franchise, not part of a national chain, not VC-backed. Family-run + locally accountable.

You get a written number before any work starts — always. We don't publish price ranges on the site yet: we won't put up a range until it's derived from enough verified completed-job data to be honest, and we'd rather quote your actual job than show a teaser number. See Methodology for the standard published ranges will have to meet. The free inspection or quote process gets you a real price, usually the same visit.

Yes — through GoGreen Home (a California state-backed loan program for clean energy + electrical safety upgrades). Eligibility depends on the project — GoGreen covers qualifying energy-efficiency upgrades, and panel work when it's tied to one. You choose your lender inside the GoGreen portal; we're not part of that selection. We'll tell you straight whether your project qualifies.

Yes — every quote is free, and we don't pressure you to schedule work. We give you a quote so you have real information to make a decision; what you do with it is up to you.

Yes — Visa / Mastercard / Discover / Amex via our payment processor. We also accept ACH transfers, checks, and financing through GoGreen Home.

20-year workmanship warranty on every installation. Transferable to the next homeowner. See warranty for full terms.

Our workmanship — the quality of how we did the work. Installation labor, defects in our installation, Sunrise-installed materials. See the warranty page for what's covered + what's not.

Yes, with written assignment to the new owner. The warranty period continues from the original install date — it doesn't reset on transfer.

For most jobs, yes — we schedule by tech assignment. For larger jobs, multiple techs may work the project. We tell you who's coming, and you can ask for a specific tech on follow-up work.

Drop cloths down. Materials hauled away. Dust vacuumed up. Space left the way we found it — better, actually. We don't do drywall repair (that's a finish-contractor job), but we leave the work area clean.

Tell us. We'll come back and make it right. If we can't make it right, we'll refund the labor portion of the invoice. We've had this happen rarely; we'd rather hear about a problem and fix it than have a customer post a 1-star review.
