"Burgin Brothers Electric Inc. was just the electrical company I needed to update my wiring. I recently did a remodel of the back unit of my duplex and Mark helped me with the electrical part of it. Mark and his company were so gracious and helped me out tremendously by also installing a kitchen hood vent and a bathroom exhaust fan. He is also extremely affordable. How I know this is that in the recent past I had an electrician add two circuits to my front unit. That electrician was extremely expensive and did not even complete the work, and other estimates I was given for my back unit were also just as expensive. I strongly advise that if you have Mark and his company come do any work for you, don't let anyone else handle your breaker panel; let him take over. He will clean it up for you. Any new circuits you have installed will be up to code. Mark knows how to analyze your system and will put in the proper safety features. He is remarkable, patient and helped me plan out my system so that it would work efficiently. I am very satisfied with Mark and his work ethic and I highly recommend Burgin Brothers Electric Inc."

"Outstanding service. Arrived for bid and ultimately the work at agreed upon times. Performed a thorough diagnosis and replaced the faulty GFI outlet quickly and professionally. A separate outlet that I assumed was connected to the same GFI, was actually connected elsewhere. He found the correct GFI and reset it as well. This work was done during COVID times and they arrived with masks and kept their distance. I would highly recommend MJ Electric for their professionalism, timeliness, a fair pricing."

Customers say: Quick response

"Steve did several items for me. Installed a smart thermostat, ring doorbell, switched out several lights and installed a new solar outdoor light. All was done with no fuss and he made sure I understood the devices and their operation before he left. Would have no hesitation in recommending Steve and plan to use him for all my electrical needs in the future."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

When hiring electrical professionals in La Mesa, prioritize those with proven experience in local home styles and neighborhood regulations. Verify they are knowledgeable about area-specific building codes and utility company requirements. Ask for references from recent projects in La Mesa, and confirm they carry proper insurance. Comparing multiple quotes and ensuring prompt response times can help you find a reliable, qualified electrician for your needs.

Helpful?

In La Mesa, electrical panels often require upgrades to support modern appliances and electronics. Kitchens and bathrooms may need GFCI outlets for safety, while outdoor areas like patios and pool lighting are prone to wear from weather exposure. With rising demand for electric vehicles, garage outlets and dedicated charging circuits are increasingly common upgrades. Regularly check HVAC system wiring, especially before peak summer usage.

Helpful?

As a new homeowner in La Mesa, begin with a comprehensive electrical inspection, especially if your home is over 20 years old. Upgrade to GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor spaces for added safety. Consider replacing smoke detectors with hardwired models and evaluating your electrical panel for capacity upgrades. Adding extra outlets for modern devices and preparing your garage for electric vehicle charging are also smart first steps.

Helpful?

Before starting any electrical project in La Mesa, carefully review your property’s age and electrical history, as older homes may have hidden issues like outdated wiring. Contact the local building department to clarify permit requirements and expected timelines. Notify your HOA if applicable, and discuss your plans with neighbors if work might cause noise or parking disruptions. Scheduling a pre-project inspection can help identify potential obstacles early.

Helpful?

In La Mesa, persistent flickering lights, frequent circuit breaker trips, or outlets that feel warm to the touch can signal underlying electrical problems. Pay close attention to burning odors or buzzing sounds, as these may indicate faulty wiring. Homes with older electrical panels or exposed wiring are especially vulnerable. Moisture from irrigation or coastal air can also accelerate corrosion, increasing the risk of significant repairs.
