Electrical design, distribution, installation and service for custom homes and estates, starting from load calculations and use.
Complex homes need electrical infrastructure planned around both the architecture and the connected systems it serves. Regent5 coordinates service equipment, distribution, lighting, equipment rooms, technology loads, shade power, exterior systems and pathways early so the field installation follows a documented design instead of becoming a series of late compromises.
EV charging, heat pumps, induction cooking, pools, spas, elevators, lighting, batteries, generators and multiple structures can push a residence beyond conventional service capacity. Regent5 evaluates demand and plans 320A, 400A, 600A, 800A, 1000A and up to 2000A infrastructure where appropriate, coordinating utility requirements, metering, switchgear, distribution and future capacity. Service capacity, approvals and scheduling depend on the serving utility and project requirements.
For high-end residential renovations and existing-estate upgrades, Regent5 evaluates how the electrical infrastructure supports the next phase of the home: distribution, controls, equipment loads and documentation are reviewed alongside the renovation and technology plan. Faults that cross system boundaries are diagnosed in the same frame, from circuits, breakers and panels to utility-power issues, lighting-control faults and backup-power interfaces. Where power quality is part of the problem, the solution can extend to surge protection, conditioning, UPS and voltage-stabilization strategies.
Batteries, generators, solar, smart panels, load management, EV charging, surge protection and UPS should be designed as part of the electrical architecture rather than added as isolated products. Regent5 coordinates service capacity, transfer equipment, critical loads, controls and protection around the property's resilience goals.
Regent5 develops electrical and technology documentation in-house for the portions of work within our scope. Depending on the project, that can include plans, one-lines, panel schedules, lighting-control layouts, pathways, equipment-room plans, EV and backup-power interfaces, and coordination drawings used with the architect, engineer of record and builder.
The strongest projects keep design intent connected to field execution. Regent5's smart home electricians and low-voltage technicians coordinate electrical distribution, lighting control, shading, automation, networking, security, AV and resilient power from preconstruction through installation, programming and commissioning, reducing handoffs between otherwise separate trades.

Long-term ownership is easier when panels, circuits, equipment locations and pathways are labeled, documented and accessible. We plan for service and future expansion so additional EVs, batteries, lighting, automation or property structures can be evaluated without unnecessary disruption to finished architecture.
Regent5 coordinates electrical infrastructure with technology, lighting, backup power and automation so high-performance homes are designed as one system.
Main service, feeders, panels and distribution are coordinated around load, expansion and utility requirements.
Major electrical loads are evaluated early to support service sizing, backup-power design and future capacity.
Lighting circuits, control panels, drivers and fixture requirements are coordinated with architectural lighting design, including Lutron HomeWorks QSX or RadioRA 3 where those systems form the lighting-control architecture.
KOHLER standby generators, batteries, transfer equipment and critical-load priorities are integrated into the electrical plan.
EV charging, heaters, pools, pumps, kitchens and other major loads are coordinated with available capacity.
Dedicated circuits, cooling interfaces, surge protection and UPS support are coordinated for technology racks.
Landscape lighting, gates, heaters, outdoor kitchens and site equipment are coordinated with underground pathways and controls.
Surge protection and power-quality strategies help protect sensitive electronics and integrated systems.
Service upgrades and utility interfaces are coordinated around project schedule, available infrastructure and permit requirements.
Final verification aligns electrical systems with lighting, automation, backup power and technology requirements.
Where we work.
Regent5 provides residential electrical design-build for custom homes and estates throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, Marin, Napa and Sonoma, and the Monterey Peninsula, with its own high-end residential electricians carrying the estate electrical contractor scope. Select engagements extend to Santa Barbara, the Los Angeles area, and Orange County. Utility conditions vary by jurisdiction; Palo Alto projects, for example, involve the city's municipal utility rather than PG&E.
A service upgrade may be needed when planned loads such as EV charging, electric HVAC, induction cooking, pools, lighting, AV, batteries or other equipment exceed existing capacity or when the utility service no longer supports the project scope.
The ratings describe available service capacity, but the right size depends on calculated demand, utility rules, distribution design and future loads. Large estates may require multiple panels, larger services or more advanced distribution strategies.
Plan charger locations, conduit, circuit capacity, load management, utility limits and future vehicle count before concrete and finishes are complete. Large homes may benefit from multiple chargers or managed charging rather than simply adding maximum-size circuits.
Design-build coordination can reduce handoffs between engineering, field installation and technology systems. It is especially useful where lighting control, shades, AV, security, backup power and automation intersect with electrical work.
A fair question, and the answer depends on the property. Cost is driven by calculated demand and service size, major loads such as EV charging, electric HVAC and pools, lighting control, backup power from batteries or generators, and existing conditions and access. A number without drawings or a site visit would mislead, so the next step is a consultation at the Regent5 Showroom & Design Center in San Carlos.
Often yes. Upgrades can include service equipment, panels, surge protection, EV charging, generators, batteries, lighting controls and selective rewiring, depending on existing conditions and access.
