Ochoa Electric · Coronado, CA
Ochoa Electric is a Coronado electrician with a Navy story that fits the island. Edward Ochoa started his electrical career in the Navy and still serves in the Reserve, and his crew has been repairing and wiring homes, beach rentals and businesses around San Diego Bay since 2001. We drive in up the Silver Strand from Imperial Beach, so bridge traffic never decides when we show up.
Most contractors reach Coronado over the bridge and sit in the same backup you do. We come from the other direction. Our base is in Imperial Beach, at the south end of Highway 75, so the Cays, the Shores and the Village are a straight shot up the Strand. That is a big part of why a Coronado electrician from our crew can often be at your door fast.
Rental and beach rental repairs are a specialty of ours. The owner lives in Arizona, the next guests arrive Friday and the outlets by the patio just quit. If you are searching for an electrician near me from out of state, we are the call. We work with owners and property managers, get in and out between bookings and send photos of the fix. Typical jobs are on our list of electrical repairs.
Ocean air is hard on anything metal. Exterior outlets turn green, porch light sockets seize and outdoor breakers trip without warning. Homes close to the beach see it first. We replace corroded parts with weather-rated covers, fixtures and fittings so you are not calling about the same outlet next year.
Some of the Village's oldest cottages and bungalows date back to the early 1900s, and the wiring inside some of them is nearly as old. Plaster walls, two-prong outlets and circuits that were added one at a time over decades. We plan the route carefully to keep holes in the plaster to a minimum.

With Naval Air Station North Island on one end of town and the Naval Amphibious Base on the Strand, a lot of Coronado houses change hands or tenants every few years. PCS season means landlords need repairs done before move-in and families need things fixed fast. A Coronado electrician who served knows how tight those windows are.
Many Coronado homes have a garage that opens onto the alley, set apart from the main house. That usually means a longer wire run and a closer look at the panel. We check both, then quote. Learn more about Level 2 EV charger installation for homes.
Evenings outside are the reason people live here. We install patio lights, path lights, outdoor fixtures rated for salt air and LED upgrades for indoor rooms. Dimmers and timers too, so the yard is lit when you want it and dark when you don't.
As an electrical contractor we take on storefronts on Orange Avenue, offices and condo buildings, including HOA common areas, garages and parking lot lights. Buildings that want to add shared charging stations for residents can start with a capacity check from us.
We work Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm. Not a 24-hour outfit, and we say so. During those hours we respond quickly, and urgent jobs often get a truck there within the hour. We are licensed and insured, and when you look up an electrician near me on the island, you get a person on the phone, not a call center.
Our Coronado electrician crew covers the Village, Coronado Shores and Coronado Cays. We are based at the other end of the Strand, and our Imperial Beach electrical service is where it all started. Across the bay, we run a local electrical repair service in National City and cover the whole city of San Diego. East County homeowners should see our La Presa electrician page.
