Garage & Workshop Electrical in Santa Cruz, CA
Builders in Santa Cruz gave most garages one light and one outlet. Our electricians bring garages up to real-world use with GFCI outlets on every wall, ceiling LED fixtures, dedicated circuits for compressors and freezers, and clean conduit runs that look like they belong.
Garage & Workshop Electrical services we provide in Santa Cruz
- GFCI outlet installation on every garage wall
- LED shop lighting and motion-sensor lights
- 240V circuits for welders, compressors and lifts
- Sub panels for detached garages and shops
- Underground feeders to detached buildings
- Garage conversion and ADU wiring
- EV charger circuits and outlets
- Garage door opener and exterior outlet circuits
We start by talking through how you use the space in your Santa Cruz garage, then design a layout: outlets at bench height, a ceiling grid of LED fixtures, and circuits sized for the biggest tools. Surface conduit keeps things clean on finished walls; in unfinished garages we run wiring in the framing.
Detached garages and shops in Santa Cruz and neighboring Mount Hermon, Capitola and Soquel get a sub panel fed by an underground run, with their own grounding electrode. We handle permits and inspections for every project in Santa Cruz County.

- Bright, even LED lighting instead of one bare bulb
