Power Your Home with Confidence with a Trusted Mobile Home Electrician

Flickering lights, tripping breakers, or outdated panels in your mobile home can be frustrating and even dangerous, putting your safety and comfort at risk every single day.

Left unresolved, mobile home wiring faults cause appliance damage, trip hazards, and in worst cases fires. Aluminum branch wiring and original 60A panels in pre-1990 mobile homes add extra risk that stick-built homes do not share.

Our Mobile Home Electrician service provides expert diagnostics, repairs, and upgrades that meet all safety codes, ensuring your home is powered properly, safely, and ready for everyday living.

Mobile Home Electrical Services We Handle

From a single dead outlet to a full service-entrance rebuild, here is the work our crews handle on mobile and manufactured homes every week:

Panel and breaker upgrades

Replacing 60A or 100A fuse boxes with 125A or 200A breaker panels rated for manufactured homes.

Outlet, switch, and GFCI/AFCI replacements

Dead outlets, scorched switches, and bathroom or kitchen GFCI/AFCI outlet installation brought up to current California code.

Whole-home rewiring and aluminum-to-copper pigtailing

Full whole house rewiring for older mobile homes and AlumiConn pigtail repairs at every device for aluminum branch wiring.

Outdoor meter base and service entrance

Pedestal meter base replacements, weatherheads, riser conduit, and bonding for the service drop on park-set and private-lot mobile homes.

Subpanels and dedicated circuits

Subpanels and dedicated circuits for HVAC, electric dryers, electric ranges, and 50A RV-style feeders for park-model trailers.

Troubleshooting and repair

Diagnosing flickering lights, dead outlets, nuisance breaker trips, hot switch plates, and burning smells before they become fire risks.

Real Electrical Issues Solved by a Mobile Home Electrician

Old Fuse Box Can’t Handle Modern Appliances

Problem: You can’t run the microwave and AC at the same time without blowing a fuse.
Solution: We replace 60A and 100A mobile-home fuse panels with 125A or 200A breaker panels rated for manufactured homes. Permit-ready, AHJ-coordinated, same-week turnaround in most cases.

Outlets Don’t Work in Half the Rooms

Problem: Some outlets are completely dead, making it hard to charge devices or use appliances.
Solution: Our electrician will trace and repair faulty wiring or connections to restore full power and functionality throughout your mobile home.

Constant Breaker Trips When Using the Heater

Problem: Every time the space heater runs, the breaker trips, leaving you in the cold.
Solution: We assess your load capacity and install dedicated circuits to support high-energy appliances without overloading your system.

Pre-1976 vs Post-1976 Manufactured Homes

Mobile homes built before June 15, 1976 follow pre-HUD state codes and usually have aluminum branch wiring, 60A fuse panels, and non-grounded outlets. Manufactured homes built after June 15, 1976 meet the federal HUD Code and use copper wiring plus modern breaker panels. Both can be brought up to current California electrical code safely. Our crews have wired, re-wired, and permitted both eras.

Permits and Inspections for California Mobile Homes

Most mobile home electrical work in California requires a permit from the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). In Santa Clara County that is the San Jose Building Department or the county Planning Office. In Butte County it is the Butte County Building Division or the Chico Building Department inside city limits. HCD may be the AHJ for units still registered with California Housing and Community Development. We pull the permit, book the inspection, and finish with a passing sign-off on every job.

Our San Jose crew services mobile home parks throughout Santa Clara County, including communities in Willow Glen, Berryessa, Evergreen, and Almaden. Most appointments are scheduled within three business days. Call (408) 266-5351 for a free quote.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mobile Home Electrical Work

If you’re experiencing frequent breaker trips, dimming lights, or an outdated fuse box, it may be time for an upgrade to ensure safety and accommodate modern electrical demands.

Yes! We can add outlets, lighting fixtures, or even ceiling fans to your mobile home’s electrical system safely and efficiently, all while adhering to code requirements.

Yes. We work on both pre-1976 mobile homes built to state codes and post-1976 manufactured homes built to HUD Code. Both can be brought up to current California electrical code. Older units often need panel replacement, service-entrance work, grounding upgrades, and aluminum wiring remediation.

In most cases, yes. We handle all the necessary permits and inspections to ensure your electrical work complies with local regulations.

Most electrical projects, like panel upgrades or outlet installations, take between a few hours to a day. We’ll provide a clear timeline after assessing your specific needs.

Most single-wide mobile homes ran on 60A or 100A panels from the factory. Modern manufactured homes and remodeled mobile homes generally need a 125A or 200A panel to handle central HVAC, electric water heaters, EV charging, and modern appliances. We size the panel based on a Title 24 load calculation.

Aluminum branch wiring installed before 1977 can loosen at terminations over time and create heat at outlets and switches. We fix it two ways: full rewire to copper, or AlumiConn and copper pigtailing at each device. Both are California code-compliant when installed by a licensed electrician.

Yes. We handle both park-model mobile homes and manufactured homes on private lots across San Jose, Chico, and the surrounding areas. Park rules sometimes require coordination with the park owner for panel or service-entrance work. We manage that on your behalf.

Yes. Mobile home EV charger installs usually require a service-panel upgrade to 125A or 200A first. We run the load calculation, confirm capacity, install the charger, and pull the permit. See our home EV charger installation page for details.

A single-outlet repair runs in the low hundreds, a panel upgrade on a mobile home typically runs between $2,400 and $4,800 depending on service size and meter base location, and a full rewire on a single-wide ranges from $8,000 to $18,000. See our panel upgrade cost breakdown for California specifics. Call (408) 266-5351 or (530) 907-7961 for a free quote.
