We handle code-compliant wiring and electrical upgrades for comfortable, efficient backyard living spaces.
At RzN Electric, we help homeowners power ADUs the right way. If you are building a backyard unit, garage conversion, in-law suite, or detached living space, the electrical work has to be safe, efficient, and fully code-compliant. We handle ADU electrical services from start to finish, so your new space is ready for comfortable daily living.
Since 2016, we have served Vallejo and the East Bay as a licensed, locally owned family business. We know what it takes to wire small living spaces for real-world use. Our goal is simple: give you a dependable electrical system that supports modern appliances, lighting, HVAC, and everyday power needs without cutting corners.
Every ADU project is different, but most require careful planning, proper load calculations, and clean installation work. We provide complete electrical solutions for new ADUs, conversions, and electrical upgrades tied to accessory dwelling units.
An ADU is more than an extra room. It is a full living space, and the electrical system should support that. We install wiring for general power, lighting, kitchen use, bathroom safety, heating and cooling equipment, entertainment devices, internet-related equipment, and outdoor access areas. We think through how the space will actually be used, so the placement of outlets, switches, and fixtures makes sense for day-to-day life.
That includes practical details like enough receptacles in living areas, dedicated appliance circuits in compact kitchens, bathroom GFCI outlets, exterior lights at entry points, and properly sized circuits for HVAC and water heating systems. Good planning up front helps avoid overloaded circuits, poor outlet placement, and costly changes later.
Many ADU projects need more electrical capacity than the original home was designed for. We review your existing service and determine whether your property needs a panel upgrade, subpanel, or new feeder line to safely support the added load. This is an important step in any ADU electrical installation, especially when the unit will have a kitchen, laundry, electric water heater, or dedicated heating and cooling system.
We make sure the electrical distribution is sized correctly for both the main home and the ADU. That helps protect your system, reduces nuisance breaker trips, and supports reliable operation over the long term. If your current panel is outdated or full, we can recommend practical upgrade options that fit your project and budget.
ADU electrical work must meet current code requirements. We take that seriously. Our work is performed with close attention to electrical safety, permit requirements, and inspection standards. From circuit protection to grounding and bonding, we focus on the details that help your project pass inspection and stay safe for the people using the space.
We also install the safety devices your ADU needs, including proper AFCI and GFCI protection where required, tamper-resistant receptacles, and hardwired smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. These are not small details. They are essential parts of a code-compliant ADU electrical system.
We help homeowners build ADUs that are comfortable and efficient to operate. That can include LED lighting, dimmer controls, smart switches, energy-conscious circuit planning, and wiring for efficient electric appliances. If you want your accessory dwelling unit to feel modern and easy to maintain, we can recommend solutions that improve convenience without overcomplicating the system.
We also plan for future needs where possible. That may mean adding space for additional circuits, preparing for an EV charger, or installing a panel setup that gives you room to grow later. A little foresight during construction can save a lot of time and money down the road.
We provide ADU electrical services for a wide range of project types. Some customers are building a detached backyard unit from the ground up. Others are converting a garage, updating an existing in-law suite, or bringing older wiring up to current standards. We can step in at the planning stage or help finish a project that needs electrical corrections or upgrades.
For older structures, we often find wiring issues that need to be addressed before the space can be safely used as a legal living area. That may include replacing outdated wiring, adding grounded outlets, upgrading service equipment, correcting unsafe connections, or separating overloaded circuits. We explain what we find clearly and offer straightforward recommendations.
When you hire us for ADU electrical work, you are getting a local team that understands how to do the job safely and professionally. We are licensed, locally owned, and committed to customer-first service. We show up ready to work, communicate clearly, and provide transparent pricing so you know what to expect.

Our focus is always on safe, reliable solutions that support your long-term goals for the property.

We start with a site visit to review your ADU plans, service load, panel capacity, subpanel needs, outlets, lighting, HVAC circuits, and appliance wiring. Then we give you a clear quote and timeline, usually within 1 to 2 days, so you know exactly what to expect.
Once approved, we schedule the work and coordinate with your builder or remodel team to install rough-in wiring, dedicated circuits, GFCI and AFCI protection, meter or panel upgrades, and smart layout solutions. We follow California code, keep the jobsite clean, and keep you updated at every stage.
Before we wrap up, we test every circuit, device, switch, fixture, and safety component to make sure your ADU is dependable and ready for daily use. We handle final inspection readiness, walk you through the completed system, and answer questions so you feel confident from day one.
If you're planning a new ADU, garage conversion, or backyard unit, these are the questions we hear most often. We want you to feel informed, confident, and ready to move forward with safe, code-compliant electrical work.
Reviews
See what customers appreciate most—clear communication, safe work, and reliable electrical service.
“This 5-star review is for RzN's excellent communication, honest pricing and prompt responses. Rickey was very pleasant to work with, very responsive and his quote was competitive and honest. We did not, however, got to work with him due to reasons out of our control. But we will definitely hire RzN in a heartbeat next time, and highly recommend them to anyone.”
“Although we ultimately chose another contractor for this project, I had a very positive experience working with Rickey during the bidding process. He was extremely responsive, friendly, and professional from start to finish. He took the time to answer all of our questions, explain the scope of work, and patiently walk us through the pricing and installation process. His communication was excellent, and he was proactive in following up and making himself available whenever we needed clarification. His pricing was also very reasonable and transparent, which we appreciated. Based on our interactions, I would definitely consider Rickey for future electrical work and would feel comfortable recommending him to friends and family.”
