Rewiring Craftsman and Mid-Century Homes in San Diego

North Park, Normal Heights and Kensington are full of bungalows that still run on cloth-wrapped wire and two-prong outlets. Charming house. Tired wiring. We trace what is actually in the walls, ground the outlets that need it and replace old runs before they turn into a scorch mark behind a switch plate.

We also map the circuits so you finally know which breaker kills the kitchen. Plenty of our rewiring and repair work starts with a homeowner who just wanted one new outlet.

Panel Upgrades in San Diego Timed Around Your SDG&E Appointment

A panel upgrade here runs on two calendars: ours and SDG&E's. The utility has to disconnect and reconnect service, so the job only works if the electrician is ready the day SDG&E shows up. We plan around that date instead of making you reschedule it.

Bigger loads like heat pumps, induction ranges and car chargers are why most San Diego homeowners call about panels now. We size the new service for what you plan to add, not just what you have today. See the full list of panel, breaker and wiring services we handle.

EV Charger Installation for San Diego Garages and Driveways

Most EV calls we get in the city are Level 2 chargers going into a detached garage or onto a driveway wall. The charger is the easy part. The real question is whether your panel has room and how far the wire has to run. We check both before quoting.

If you are still picking hardware, our EV charger installation page covers the options for homes and businesses.

Salt Air Corrosion Repairs from Point Loma to Pacific Beach

Live within a few blocks of the water in Ocean Beach, Point Loma or PB and you have seen what the marine layer does to metal. Exterior outlets go green. Porch light sockets seize. Breakers in an outdoor panel start tripping for no clear reason. We replace corroded parts with weather-rated covers and fittings so the fix lasts more than one winter.

Clairemont and Tierrasanta Tract Homes With Breakers That Keep Tripping

Postwar tract neighborhoods were wired for a toaster and a TV. Add a space heater, a gaming PC and a microwave on one circuit and the breaker gives up. We find the overloaded circuit, split the load and add dedicated lines where the kitchen or laundry needs them.

Some houses from the late 1960s and early 1970s were built with aluminum branch wiring. It is fixable. We repair the connections properly so you do not have to rewire the whole house.

Fast Electrical Response in San Diego During Business Hours

We work Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm, and we do not pretend to be a 24-hour shop. What we do promise is speed inside those hours. Emergency calls often get a truck on site within the hour. If you are hunting for an electrician near me because half the house just went dark, call us first. A real person answers or calls you back.

LED Lighting Upgrades for San Diego Kitchens, Patios and Storefronts

Recessed cans in a dark kitchen. Dimmers that actually dim LEDs without flicker. Patio and flood lights for a backyard in Mission Hills or a side yard in Linda Vista. We also retrofit old fluorescent fixtures and ballasts to LED for shops and offices, which cuts the bill and ends the buzzing.

CKT 08

Commercial Electrical Contractor Work Across San Diego

As an electrical contractor we take on offices, retail suites and rental buildings across the city: parking lot lights, lighting retrofits, new circuits for equipment and the steady repair calls property managers deal with every month. We can also set up charging stations for a business lot or a shared garage.
