Marin County's seat and largest city, San Rafael sits at the foot of Mount Tamalpais with a historic downtown, the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Marin Civic Center, and a mix of healthcare, professional services, and light industry. Heavy winter rainfall, hillside landslide risk, bayfront marsh, and high seismicity shape its engineering challenges.

What we design

From service entrance to the last receptacle, Torch engineers San Rafael electrical systems to pass plan check cleanly. That means accurate load calculations, one-lines that match the panel schedules, lighting controls per Title 24, Part 6, and utility coordination with PG&E, Southern California Edison, or SDG&E handled before the San Rafael building department ever sees the drawings.

  • San Rafael healthcare and medical office buildings projects frequently trigger service upgrades — we size panels, switchgear, and feeders for the real connected load plus code-required spare capacity, so the San Rafael building department sees fault-current and load calculations that match the one-line diagram.
  • Power distribution across a San Rafael healthcare and medical office buildings means transformer sizing, voltage drop on long feeders, and selective coordination of overcurrent devices — the details that keep a California facility running instead of tripping offline.
  • Utility coordination with PG&E, Southern California Edison, or SDG&E handled up front — service applications, metering requirements, and available-fault-current letters — so the San Rafael electrical permit never stalls waiting on the utility.
  • San Rafael, CA electrical plan check focuses on load calculations, panel schedules, and one-line accuracy — our submittals answer those comments before the reviewer writes them, which is why our permits move.
  • Lighting layouts and controls for San Rafael healthcare and medical office buildings engineered to Title 24, Part 6: photometric plans, daylighting zones, and occupancy/vacancy controls that pass California's energy review without post-permit value engineering.
