"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."

"Sean and his team did an excellent job fixing my electrical issue. I had Target Electric address an electrical problem at my Airbnb while guests stayed there. They were in and out promptly, leaving me and my Airbnb guests very happy. I will absolutely use Target Electric again for future projects."

"I needed a complete redo of my 1970s electrical. He gave me a good estimate. Then I added a bunch of stuff. It was around Christmas too. But they were available and squeezed in my emergency between their other appointments. Minus half a start for a couple unfinished plug plates but really no biggie. My project I'm sure was annoying and Walter Electric was awesome!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

For electrical projects in San Diego, select high-quality, code-compliant materials such as NM-B wire for indoor use and THWN-2 for conduit installations. Outdoor projects should use UV- and corrosion-resistant supplies, especially in coastal neighborhoods. Install GFCI outlets in bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor areas, and consider whole-home surge protection. Upgrading to a 200-amp panel helps meet future needs like solar or EV charging, aligning with CA standards.

Helpful?

Electrical systems in San Diego benefit from proactive maintenance. Test GFCI outlets monthly, especially in homes near the coast. Inspect your electrical panel annually for signs of corrosion or wear, and clean outdoor fixtures every few months to remove dust and debris. Replace smoke detector batteries twice a year, and schedule a professional inspection every few years to ensure your system stays safe and efficient.

Helpful?

In San Diego, the timeline for electrical projects depends on complexity. Simple installations, like adding outlets or switches, usually take just a few hours. Upgrading an electrical panel can require one to two days, while whole-house rewiring may take up to a week. Factoring in permit approvals, inspections, and possible HOA reviews can extend the process, so it’s wise to plan ahead for a smooth experience.

Helpful?

In San Diego, homeowners often overlook necessary permits, ignore local energy codes, or use indoor-rated materials for outdoor projects. Failing to plan for future upgrades like solar panels or EV charging can limit your home’s flexibility. Overloading circuits, misplacing GFCI outlets, and neglecting corrosion protection near the coast are frequent errors that can lead to safety hazards or expensive repairs down the road.

Helpful?

Completing electrical projects in San Diego can significantly boost your home’s value and resale appeal. Modernizing your electrical panel, adding smart home features, or installing EV charging stations are highly desirable upgrades in today’s market. Energy-efficient lighting and updated wiring that complies with current codes also give buyers peace of mind about safety and long-term savings, making your property more attractive when you decide to sell.
