California Power and Light

California Power and Light is a full-service electrical contracting firm that serves residential, commercial and industrial clients throughout Santa Clara County. The family-owned and operated company handles electrical projects of every size, from smaller jobs like fixture replacements, telephone wiring and general troubleshooting to larger jobs like lighting retrofits, exterior and interior landscape lighting installations, and tenant improvements.

Owner Henry Acosta says his favorite part of the electrical contracting business is seeing the positive reactions of clients after their lighting issues are successfully resolved. “A lot of people take electricity for granted, so when the lights go out, it can be a really inconvenient experience. Our customers always tell us how grateful they are for our hands-on expertise.”

California Power and Light is known for its comprehensive diagnostic capabilities, which allow its technicians to determine each customer’s exact electrical problem before any work begins, thus reducing the amount of time and money spent on their project. “We also use our diagnostic abilities to present our customers with all the different possibilities that can result from a certain type of electrical service,” adds Mr. Acosta. “Once they know the exact option they want, they feel more confident in the entire process.”
