Long underground feeders
The panel is not always next to the street. We locate the run, the pull points, and the trench path before we price the work.

Hillside Electrical Work in Los Altos Hills
Los Altos Hills is not the Town of Los Altos. Lots are larger, streets are steeper, and many houses sit on wells, septic, and long underground feeders. The electrical plan has to respect setbacks, trenching, and a service that may be a long walk from the garage.
Executive Electric upgrades panels, installs Level 2 chargers, and sets standby generators for Los Altos Hills homes. We file with the Town of Los Altos Hills and coordinate PG&E when the transformer, meter, or drop is part of the job.
Public safety shutoffs hit the foothills. A whole-home standby generator with an automatic transfer switch is a common request here, along with circuits for wells and HVAC that have to stay up during an outage.
Commercial work in town is limited. We still handle schools, town facilities, and home-based shops or studios the same way we handle residential service: permitted, inspected, and sized for the real load.

Common Electrical Challenges in Los Altos Hills
Wells, pumps, and HVAC on backup
A generator that ignores the well is not useful. We list the circuits you keep during a shutoff and size the unit to that list.
Steep sites and setbacks
Pad location, gas piping, and clearances are tighter on hillside lots. Town review cares about placement, not just the kW rating.
This is not Los Altos city
Permits, lot rules, and access differ from the Town of Los Altos. We file in the right jurisdiction so the inspection is not delayed.

Questions About Electrical Work in Los Altos Hills
Is this the same as Los Altos city permits?
No. Los Altos Hills is a separate town. We file with the Town of Los Altos Hills, not the City of Los Altos, unless the property actually sits in Los Altos.
Can you install a standby generator on a hillside lot?
Yes. We check setbacks, pad access, gas, and the transfer-switch location, then pull the town permit.
Do you handle well and pump circuits on backup power?
Yes. Those loads go on the generator plan so the house still has water during a shutoff.
Can you add an EV charger if the panel is far from the garage?
Yes. Long homeruns are common here. We price the circuit honestly instead of assuming a 20-foot garage wall.
Do you also work in Los Altos?
Yes. Los Altos has its own page. Hills properties need this one because the lots, shutoffs, and permits are different.
About Los Altos Hills, California
Los Altos Hills is still a town of large lots, barns, and hillside pastures, not a downtown grid. Electrical work follows that layout: long underground feeders, wells, and generators on properties that sit far from the street.
Los Altos Hills is a residential town in the foothills above Los Altos. The housing is spread out, services are often underground, and fire-season shutoffs are a real planning item, not a footnote.
Town rules on generators, trenching, and grading are specific. We treat Los Altos Hills as its own jurisdiction, separate from Los Altos city permits.
