Local Service
We are electricians who are available for you around the clock. When your power goes out or you need electrical work, you want an electrician who knows the area and can respond any time of day or night. We’ve been serving homeowners and businesses since 2015, handling everything from tripped breakers to complete panel replacements across Orange County.
This coastal environment creates specific electrical challenges. Salt air from the Pacific Ocean accelerates corrosion of electrical components, older homes built during the 1960s-1970s boom often have outdated wiring, and beachfront properties face constant exposure to moisture and humidity. If you own property in Huntington Harbour, you’re dealing with marine electrical requirements for docks and boat lifts on top of standard residential needs. We understand these local conditions and have the expertise to handle any electrical situation.
We serve every part of Huntington Beach, from the beachfront properties along PCH to the residential neighborhoods east of Beach Boulevard.
From beachfront homes near the Pier to family houses in the residential areas, we handle electrical work throughout Huntington Beach. We know which neighborhoods still have Federal Pacific panels that need immediate replacement, which areas have severe salt air corrosion issues, and what it takes to bring 1960s-era homes up to modern electrical standards.
From Main Street restaurants to Pacific City retailers, Huntington Beach businesses need electrical contractors who understand coastal commercial properties. We work with property managers, restaurant owners, retail tenants, and office buildings throughout the city.
Beach cities have their own power issues. Marine layer moisture gets into connections, summer heat maxes out the grid when everyone’s running AC, and coastal storms can cause outages that last longer than inland areas. When your power goes out or you’re dealing with partial power loss in certain rooms, we respond 24/7 to diagnose and restore electrical service.
This is the number one call we get from Huntington Beach homeowners. Most homes here were built in the 70s with electrical systems not designed for today. You didn’t have home offices, EV chargers, multiple large-screen TVs, and modern kitchen appliances back then. When breakers trip constantly, especially when you run the AC or use multiple appliances at once, it’s your panel telling you it can’t keep up with 2025 living.
If you’re within a few blocks of the ocean, you know this problem. Outdoor light fixtures corrode and fail, outlet covers rust through, weatherproof boxes deteriorate, and connections in your meter base or main panel get crusty. That salty ocean air eats through standard electrical hardware fast. This causes flickering lights, outlets that stop working, and in severe cases, dangerous arcing that can start fires.
Walk into your garage and look at your electrical panel. If you see “Federal Pacific” or “Zinsco” on it, you’ve got a documented fire hazard. These panels were installed in thousands of Huntington Beach homes during the building boom, and they fail to trip when circuits overload. That means wires can overheat inside your walls without the breaker shutting off. Insurance companies know about this and many won’t cover homes with these panels anymore.
Every part of Tustin has different electrical issues based on when homes were built and how they’re used today.
The northwestern coastal neighborhood bordering Seal Beach. These are mostly older beach cottages and homes from the 1960s-70s that need panel upgrades, rewiring, and outdoor electrical that resists coastal corrosion. Direct ocean exposure makes electrical maintenance more frequent here.
The heart of the city around Main Street and the Pier. This area has a mix of beachfront properties, older commercial buildings from the 1960s-70s, and the newer Pacific City development. We handle everything from restaurant electrical systems to residential panel upgrades for the condos and homes near the beach.
Northern Huntington Beach near the Bolsa Chica Wetlands and State Beach. Mix of older residential homes and newer construction near Brightwater. We handle panel upgrades for older homes and full electrical installations for new construction, plus outdoor lighting and EV charger installations.
We serve properties along the eastern Huntington Beach border near Beach Boulevard and the 405 freeway. Residents in this area call us for panel upgrades, EV charger installations, and electrical repairs throughout the year.
We serve neighborhoods on the Huntington Beach border along Magnolia Street and Brookhurst Street. Many homeowners here contact us for panel upgrades, EV charger installations, and electrical work because we respond faster than Fountain Valley contractors.
Upscale gated community near the Huntington Club golf course and Huntington State Beach. Luxury homes here often need smart home automation, landscape lighting systems, backup generators, and high-capacity electrical panels for large properties with pools, spas, and outdoor living spaces.
Here’s what we handle beyond standard electrical repairs.
Over 75% of Huntington Beach homes were built before 1983. If that’s your house and you haven’t upgraded the panel, you’re probably dealing with 100-amp service that barely keeps up. We upgrade to 200-amp or 400-amp panels, coordinate with SCE for the meter swap, and handle city permits. The whole process usually takes one day, and you’ll stop tripping breakers every time you use multiple appliances.
Everyone wants a Level 2 EV charger in their garage. The problem? Your 100-amp panel probably can’t handle it. We do the full assessment, checking your existing load, calculating what your panel can handle, and either finding creative solutions or upgrading your service. We install ChargePoint, JuiceBox, Tesla Wall Connectors, and other major brands.
If you’re close to the beach, you know outdoor fixtures don’t last. We’re talking lights, outlets, anything exposed. The salt air corrodes everything fast. For properties near the water, we use stainless steel and marine-grade materials that actually hold up. It costs more but you’re not replacing corroded fixtures every few years.
Huntington Harbour properties with docks need someone who knows marine electrical codes. We install and service boat lift motors, dock lighting, shore power outlets, and all the underwater stuff. It’s specialized work with different requirements than regular residential, and the saltwater environment makes everything corrode even faster than regular coastal exposure.
Emergency electrical issues can’t wait. Our licensed electricians are available 24/7 for urgent electrical repairs and service calls throughout Orange County.
We hold a valid California electrical contractor license and maintain comprehensive insurance. All our electricians are licensed, bonded, and undergo regular continuing education.
We understand the area's unique electrical challenges, from coastal corrosion to HOA requirements in gated communities. Our electricians know local building codes and permit requirements.
Unlike many electrical contractors, we're available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether you need emergency repairs at midnight or want to schedule routine electrical work, we're here to help.
Our commitment to quality workmanship and customer satisfaction has earned us consistently excellent reviews. We stand behind our work with solid warranties and reliable follow-up service.
Yes, we provide electrical services throughout Huntington Beach including Downtown and Main Street, Huntington Harbour, Sunset Beach, and all residential neighborhoods. We also serve adjacent cities like Fountain Valley, Westminster, and Costa Mesa.
Yes. We have electricians on call every night, every weekend, and every holiday. If you call at midnight because your electrical panel is smoking or you’ve lost power, a real person answers and we dispatch a truck immediately. We charge emergency rates for after-hours calls, but we’re there when you actually need us. For non-emergency work, we schedule appointments during business hours at standard rates.
Salt air from the Pacific Ocean is the culprit. Salt particles suspended in ocean air settle on electrical components and act like an electrolyte, accelerating corrosion dramatically. This affects outdoor fixtures, meter bases, conduit connections, and anything exposed to the elements. Standard hardware that lasts 20 years inland might corrode through in 3-5 years near the beach. That’s why we use coastal-grade stainless steel and marine-rated materials for all outdoor electrical work.
For true emergencies, power outages, smoking panels, burning smells, sparking outlets, we typically arrive within 60-90 minutes anywhere in Huntington Beach. We keep trucks fully stocked so we can handle most emergency repairs on the spot without needing to make parts runs. For urgent but non-emergency issues, we can usually get someone out the same day or next day depending on our schedule.
We pull all required permits through the City of Huntington Beach, for work that requires them. This includes panel upgrades, service upgrades, EV charger installations, rewiring work, and new circuit installations. We handle the entire permit process, submitting plans, scheduling inspections, and dealing with any corrections the inspector requires. Permit costs are included in our project quotes so there are no surprises. We also work with HOAs when required to get architectural approval for exterior work like EV chargers or generator installations.
Many Huntington Beach estates require 400-amp service or multiple electrical panels to support whole-home automation, multiple HVAC systems, pool equipment, EV charging, and extensive lighting systems. During our consultation, we assess your current and future electrical demands and recommend the appropriate electrical infrastructure.
Put in your details below to get in touch with us. Most of the time, we offer free consultations for things like panel upgrades and other services, so we’ll be in contact with you after submitting this form.
