Electrical Services We Offer in Hillcrest

EV Charger Installation

Hillcrest has one of the highest rates of EV adoption in central San Diego. We install Level 2 home charging stations for Tesla, Rivian, BMW, Mercedes, and all major EV brands. Most installs are completed in a single day. Stop relying on overnight Level 1 charging — a properly sized 240V circuit gets you 30–40 miles of range per hour.

Solar + Battery Systems

We install and wire Tesla Powerwall 3 and Enphase 10C battery systems for Hillcrest homeowners looking for energy independence and protection against grid outages. As a SPAN-authorized installer and certified Powerwall installer, we handle the full electrical scope of your solar project.

Electrical Panel Upgrades

Hillcrest is full of Craftsman bungalows and Spanish Colonial homes built in the 1920s through 1940s — beautiful properties that often carry original or outdated electrical panels underneath. Those panels weren't designed for EV chargers, solar systems, or modern appliance loads. We upgrade panels to 200A and install SPAN smart panels that give you circuit-level control and real-time energy monitoring from your phone.

General Electrical Repairs

Flickering lights, tripped breakers, outlets that don't work — we diagnose and fix residential electrical issues quickly and cleanly. No job too small.
