Electrical built for Tahoe’s climate
South Lake Tahoe sits at the top of El Dorado County, where winter storms and extended PG&E outages are simply part of life. That is why so much of our Tahoe work is backup power: battery systems and generators that keep the heat, water, and lights on when the grid goes down at the worst possible time.
We also wire EV chargers for the heavy Tesla and EV traffic the lake draws, and we handle panels and service upgrades for everything from weekend cabins to full-time homes. Snow load, altitude, and vacation-home realities change how a job should be done, and we build for them.
Tahoe is a drive for us, and we plan for it. Every visit is scheduled properly so your project gets done right in one trip, permitted and inspected where it needs to be.

A real battery backup and electrical project we completed for a South Lake Tahoe home.
For a Tahoe home, backup power is not a luxury, it is how you ride out a winter storm when the grid drops for hours or days. We installed the battery and backup equipment, tied it into the home’s electrical properly, and left it clean and labeled. If you want your Tahoe home to keep running through the next outage, this is the work.

“I have used Jake for multiple projects on my house. Easy to work with and very fair on pricing. Would highly recommend him, especially for solar or car chargers. His pricing breakdown was great. Loved working with someone who wasn’t trying to take advantage of me.”
“I cannot say enough about Bodie Electric and Jake. The service was phenomenal and the job was a big one. He handled it with such professionalism, even all the PG&E stuff. I would highly recommend Bodie Electric for a small or a very large job.”
