When your home or business needs an electrician in San Diego, you need someone you can trust to show up on time, diagnose the problem accurately, and fix it safely. EZ Eletric has been the go-to licensed electrical contractor for San Diego homeowners since 2005 — handling everything from tripped breakers and faulty outlets to full panel upgrades and EV charger installations.

San Diego's residential housing stock — much of it built in the 1960s–1980s — runs on aging 100-amp panels that weren't designed for today's energy loads. Smart home devices, EV chargers, and modern appliances are pushing those systems to their limits. EZ Eletric upgrades more San Diego electrical panels than any other local contractor.

    Electrical Services in San Diego

    Electrical Panel Upgrade

    Older San Diego homes often have 100-amp panels that can't safely handle modern electrical loads. Signs you need an upgrade: breakers tripping frequently, flickering lights, burning smell from the panel, or you're adding an EV charger or major appliance.
    Cost in San Diego: $1,500–$3,200 for a 200-amp panel upgrade (includes permits, inspection, and labor).

    EV Charger Installation San Diego

    California's ZEV mandate means more San Diego homeowners need Level 2 EV chargers (240V/40–80A). EZ Eletric installs ChargePoint, Tesla Wall Connector, JuiceBox, and Enel X chargers. We pull all permits from the City of San Diego and handle SDG&E interconnection paperwork.
    Cost: $500–$1,200 including dedicated circuit, NEMA 14-50 outlet or hardwired charger, and permit.

    Electrical Repair

    From single outlets to whole-house rewiring, EZ Eletric handles all residential and commercial electrical repairs in San Diego County. Common repairs include GFCI outlet replacement ($80–$150), circuit breaker replacement ($150–$300), and aluminum wiring remediation.

    Recessed Lighting & Lighting Installation

    San Diego homeowners remodeling kitchens and living rooms trust EZ Eletric for recessed lighting installation. We install LED recessed cans, under-cabinet lighting, and outdoor landscape lighting across San Diego.

    Generator Installation & Backup Power

    San Diego's wildfire risk and SDG&E PSPS shutoffs have driven demand for whole-home generators and battery backup systems. EZ Eletric installs Generac, Kohler, and Briggs & Stratton standby generators, as well as Tesla Powerwall and Enphase IQ Battery storage systems.

    How to Hire a Licensed Electrician in San Diego

    • Verify the license. All electricians in California must hold a C-10 (Electrical) license from the CSLB. Verify any contractor at cslb.ca.gov in under 60 seconds.
    • Check for insurance. Your electrician must carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation. Ask for a certificate of insurance before work begins.
    • Pull permits for major work. Panel upgrades, EV charger installations, and new circuits require permits from the City of San Diego or applicable municipality. If your contractor doesn't mention permits, that's a red flag.
    • Get a written estimate. San Diego electricians are required to provide written estimates for jobs over $500. Never accept verbal-only quotes for major electrical work.
    • Verify the work passes inspection. After panel upgrades and EV charger installations, the city inspects the work. EZ Eletric schedules all inspections and is present at every inspection.
