Multiple structures on one service
Main house, ADU, pool house, and shop often share a service that was sized for one building. We add subpanels instead of overloading the original board.

Electrical Work Built for Atherton Estates
Atherton lots are large, services are often underground, and a single property can have a main house, a guest house, a pool pavilion, and a shop. One 200-amp panel in the garage does not always cover that layout. Subpanels, long feeders, and honest load calculations matter more here than a catalog charger kit.
Executive Electric upgrades services, installs Level 2 chargers, wires ADUs, and sets standby generators for Atherton homes. We file with the Town of Atherton Building Department and coordinate PG&E when the meter or transformer has to move.
The town is almost entirely residential, so the commercial work we do here is estate-scale: workshops, well equipment, landscape lighting, and property-manager scopes for multiple structures on one parcel.
Peninsula houses also add EV circuits two at a time. We check the existing service before we sell a 60-amp wall unit, and we quote the panel work as its own line when the numbers say so.

Common Electrical Challenges in Atherton
Underground utilities and long driveways
Buried feeders and distant meter spots take planning. We locate the run and the pull points before we trench or bore.
Whole-property backup power
A portable generator will not cover a well, a refrigerator wall, and two HVAC systems. We size a standby unit and a transfer switch for the loads you actually keep.
Two-car EV charging
Two Level 2 units on one estate can trip a service that looked fine on paper. We calculate both chargers against HVAC, wells, and kitchen loads.

Questions About Electrical Work in Atherton
Do you pull Atherton permits?
Yes. We file with the Town of Atherton Building Department for service changes, EV circuits, generators, and ADU wiring, then meet the inspector.
Can you wire an ADU on an existing estate service?
Often yes, with a subpanel and a load calculation. If the main service is short, we quote a service upgrade instead of squeezing the ADU onto the old board.
Do you install more than one EV charger on a property?
Yes. We calculate both circuits, look at load sharing if needed, and tell you when the service has to grow first.
Are generators allowed in Atherton?
Standby generators are common on estate lots. Placement, noise, and gas piping still need town review. We include those constraints in the plan.
Do you work with property managers?
Yes. We quote multiple structures on one parcel, schedule around occupancy, and send photos and permit records when the job closes.
About Atherton, California
Holbrook-Palmer Park and its water tower sit in the middle of Atherton, a residential Peninsula town of large lots and estate services. The electrical work matches that: multiple buildings, long driveways, and underground utilities.
Atherton is a residential town on the Peninsula in San Mateo County. Lots are large, commercial zoning is almost nonexistent, and electrical work is estate work: long feeders, multiple buildings, and equipment that has to stay quiet and permitted.
Town review is careful. Generator placement, trenching, and service changes go through the Town of Atherton Building Department. We build that timeline into the quote so you are not guessing.
Executive Electric is a San Jose based residential and commercial electrical company. Atherton is inside our regular Peninsula and South Bay coverage.
