Balboa Peninsula defines classic Southern California beach living. This historic Newport Beach neighborhood stretches from Newport Pier to Balboa Pier, featuring a unique mix of original beach cottages, modern rebuilds, and oceanfront estates. Properties here face distinctive electrical challenges that require specialized expertise.
Pelican Coast Electric has served Balboa Peninsula homeowners for years, understanding the specific needs of this densely developed coastal area. From beachfront properties with ocean exposure to bayfront homes facing Newport Harbor, we handle the electrical complexities that come with peninsula living. Our licensed electricians work throughout the peninsula, from the Oceanfront boardwalk to bayside neighborhoods.
Our team knows Balboa Peninsula. We’ve upgraded panels in 1950s beach cottages near Balboa Village, installed outdoor electrical systems on rooftop decks with harbor views, and rewired historic homes throughout the peninsula. When you hire us, you’re working with licensed electricians who’ve completed hundreds of peninsula projects and understand the challenges of working in this unique coastal neighborhood.
Upgrade your Balboa Peninsula home’s electrical panel to handle modern demands. We replace outdated 60-amp and 100-amp panels with 200-amp service that safely powers air conditioning, kitchen appliances, home offices, and EV chargers. Our installations fit tight peninsula spaces, meet current codes, and include proper surge protection. We’ve upgraded panels in beach cottages near Newport Pier, bayfront homes, and throughout the peninsula where older properties need increased capacity. If you’re adding major appliances or planning renovations, a panel upgrade is often the first step.
Install a Level 2 home EV charger for convenient overnight charging on the peninsula. We handle all aspects of installation including assessing your panel capacity, running dedicated 240-volt circuits, and mounting the charger in your garage or carport. Peninsula properties often have limited parking space, so we find optimal placement solutions. We install chargers for Tesla, Rivian, Ford, BMW, and all electric vehicle brands. We provide the same EV charger installation service throughout Newport Beach and Orange County.
Power outages can happen anytime, and Balboa Peninsula isn’t immune. Whether it’s scheduled maintenance by SCE or unexpected outages, a whole-home generator keeps your lights on, refrigerator running, and home comfortable. We’re authorized Generac dealers and have installed backup generators throughout the Balboa Peninsula and surrounding Newport Beach neighborhoods.
We handle everything, from electrical connections to ongoing maintenance. Learn more about our generator services.
Balboa Peninsula estates feature sophisticated automation systems for lighting, climate control, security, and entertainment. Integrating these systems requires extensive low-voltage wiring, dedicated circuits for network equipment, and electrical infrastructure that supports whole-home automation.

We design and install electrical foundations that enable seamless smart home functionality throughout your property.

Balboa Peninsula represents Newport Beach’s original beach community, with many homes dating from the 1930s through 1960s. The narrow peninsula stretches between the Pacific Ocean and Newport Harbor, creating a unique environment where properties face either ocean surf or calm bay waters. This double coastal exposure influences every aspect of homeownership, including electrical systems. The peninsula’s density means homes sit on compact lots with limited space for electrical equipment. Many original cottages have been rebuilt or extensively renovated, but some still retain original electrical systems inadequate for modern living. Constant salt air from both sides accelerates corrosion of outdoor electrical components and requires specialized materials.
Balboa Peninsula homeowners treasure their beachfront location and invest heavily in outdoor living spaces that define coastal living. Rooftop decks maximize ocean and harbor views on compact lots, while ground-level patios extend limited indoor space for year-round entertaining. Beach access, boardwalk proximity, and the laid-back village atmosphere from Newport Pier to Balboa Pier make this neighborhood special. Professional electrical work here must account for space constraints, harsh environmental conditions from both ocean and bay exposure, and the high standards of peninsula residents. Whether it’s powering rooftop decks, outdoor kitchens, or modernizing vintage cottages, electrical installations must balance functionality with the unique challenges of peninsula living.
