  • Golden Wire Electric Inc. is not a volume-driven service shop. We are a design-build electrical contractor built around planning, accountability, and execution at a higher standard. That difference shows in how projects run, how inspections go, and how systems perform long after turnover.

    Design-Build, Not Guess-and-Go

    We engage early, think through constructability, load capacity, utility requirements, and code implications before work begins. Fewer surprises. Fewer change orders. Cleaner outcomes.

    Commercial-Grade Standards on Every Job

    Whether it’s a custom home or a commercial tenant improvement, we install electrical systems the same way: organized, labeled, documented, and inspection-ready. No shortcuts. No mess.

    Utility and Code Fluency

    PG&E coordination, service upgrades, Title 24 compliance, and AHJ requirements are routine for us—not learning curves. We speak the language inspectors and utilities expect.

    Technology-Forward Execution

    From smart panels and EV infrastructure to energy management and future-ready distribution, we build systems that support growth, electrification, and modern usage—not just minimum code.

    Clean Jobsites, Professional Crews

    White-glove execution matters. Our crews respect occupied homes, active businesses, and construction schedules. Clean installs, clear communication, professional presence.

    Built for Long-Term Performance

    We don’t just “get power on.” We design systems that scale, troubleshoot cleanly, and hold up over time. That’s why general contractors, property managers, and repeat clients continue to call us back.

    Clear Communication From Day One

    We take the time to understand your project, explain options, and outline next steps. Expectations, scope, and pricing are defined upfront so there are no surprises.

    Organized, On-Time Execution

    Our crews show up prepared, work efficiently, and respect schedules. Job sites are kept clean and organized, whether in an occupied home or an active commercial space.

    Code-First, Inspection-Ready Work

    Every installation is performed to current code and utility standards. We plan for inspections from the start, reducing delays and rework.

    Professional Crews You Can Trust

    Licensed electricians, professional appearance, and respectful conduct are non-negotiable. We treat your property and project as if it were our own.

    Accountability Through Completion

    We don’t disappear after the install. Questions are answered, issues are addressed, and closeout is handled properly.

    The result is a smooth process, reliable execution, and electrical systems that perform long after the job is done.
