Our History

Founded in San Francisco in 1905, Century Electric began during a time when electricity was transforming everyday life. Since then, we’ve grown alongside the city—adapting through generations of change while staying grounded in the same core values: honesty, craftsmanship, and expertise.

Over the decades, we’ve helped homeowners, property owners, and businesses navigate every stage of electrical evolution—from early knob-and-tube wiring to today’s advanced, high-efficiency systems. Through it all, we’ve remained committed to keeping Bay Area properties safe, functional, and future-ready.
