Sunnyvale combines established residential neighborhoods, Eichler-era and mid-century homes, newer townhomes and apartments, and major office and light industrial districts. These properties often need very different electrical solutions—from careful rewiring in an occupied home to added power for EV charging or equipment in a commercial space.
ARC Electrical Services provides licensed electrical repair and installation throughout Sunnyvale, with attention to the building’s existing system, the permit path, and the customer’s future electrical needs.
ARC Electrical Services provides licensed residential and light commercial electrical work across San Jose. We diagnose the actual cause, explain the options, coordinate permits when required, and complete the work with a focus on safety, reliability, and clean installation.

Sunnyvale’s Permit Center uses online services for applications, permit searches, payments, and inspection scheduling. The City lists an online single-family EV charger permit pathway when the charging equipment connects to an existing electrical panel and the project meets the stated qualifications.
Projects that add significant load or modify the service may require more detailed review and PG&E coordination. Silicon Valley Clean Energy supplies electric generation for most Sunnyvale customers while PG&E delivers electricity and maintains the distribution system.
ARC verifies the correct permit route rather than assuming every EV charger or panel project qualifies for an instant or simplified permit.
