Services
Los Altos homeowners and business owners expect electrical work to be done right the first time. We understand that. In a community known for well-kept homes, thoughtful remodels, quiet neighborhoods, and high standards, safe and dependable electrical work matters. At Drummond Electric, we help customers in Los Altos with everything from small electrical repairs to full upgrades for panels, lighting, EV chargers, and remodel wiring.
We are a family-owned, licensed and insured electrical company serving Los Altos and the surrounding South Bay. Our approach is simple: show up professional, troubleshoot carefully, explain the issue clearly, and do clean, code-compliant work with safety first. If something electrical is not working the way it should, we do not guess. We take the time to find the real cause and fix it.
We offer residential and commercial electrical services tailored to the needs of older homes, updated properties, new additions, and local businesses. Our work includes:
Many of the calls we get start the same way: another contractor could not find the problem, or the customer wants peace of mind before moving forward with a project. We help with both. Our team regularly solves issues like flickering lights, tripped breakers, partial power loss, failed outlets, overloaded circuits, unsafe wiring, and panel concerns that other electricians may miss.
Because safety is at the center of our work, we also look for hidden risks. That can include damaged wiring, uncovered junction boxes, worn devices, incorrect bulb loads, corroded aluminum wiring, or panels that are over-circuited. These are the kinds of electrical hazards that can affect both safety and daily comfort at home.
Los Altos has a mix of established homes and beautifully updated properties. That means electrical needs can vary a lot from one home to the next. One house may need rewiring or grounding improvements, while the next needs a new subpanel, recessed lighting, or a Level 2 EV charger. We are used to that range of work, and we tailor our recommendations to the property, the load needs, and your goals.
If you are planning a renovation, adding an ADU, upgrading a kitchen, finishing a garage workshop, or improving outdoor living space, we can handle the electrical side from start to finish. We also work with business owners who need dependable commercial electrical service with minimal disruption.
We proudly serve customers across Los Altos, including North Los Altos, South Los Altos, Central Los Altos, Woodland Acres, Country Club, and nearby residential neighborhoods. Whether your property is near downtown, in a quiet cul-de-sac, or along the edges of Los Altos Hills, we are ready to help with reliable electrical service.
If you need an electrician in Los Altos for troubleshooting, a panel upgrade, lighting installation, EV charger setup, or safety inspection, we would be glad to help. Contact Drummond Electric today to schedule service or request a free estimate. We make the process easy, and we stand behind our work.

We just bought our first home, and we were desperate for a lighting upgrade. Our house still had the original lighting configuration as each room had a switch controlling a single wall outlet for a lamp. We got multiple quotes from electricians and ultimately went with Drummond Electric. Trent came out for the initial quote, provided his professional recommendations and feedback, was extremely personable and fair. We ended up having over 40 recessed lights installed, outdoor lights replaced, security cameras installed, and wired smoke detectors installed. We also included additional items after the initial quote, which Trent and his team took in stride and was able to accommodate all the additions. Trent’s entire team was extremely professional, worked quickly, and they were able to give us exactly what we wanted while providing their professional recommendations. They all went the extra mile during the installation process and installed full electric outlets alongside our outdoor security cameras which will allow us to easily power christmas lights, something we didn’t know we wanted or needed but are extremely grateful that they did! We highly recommend Trent and the Drummond Electric team, we are planning future electrical upgrades and Drummond Electric will be our first call.
