Trusted Electrical Services for Corona Del Mar Homeowners

Corona Del Mar is one of Newport Beach’s most desirable neighborhoods, known for its village charm, stunning beaches, and hillside homes with Pacific views. From the beach cottages near Little Corona to the hillside estates overlooking Crystal Cove, this community values quality, reliability, and professionals who understand the area.

Pelican Coast Electric has served Corona Del Mar since 2015. We’re not just another electrical contractor passing through, we’re the electricians homeowners and businesses here call when they need reliable service, whether it’s upgrading an electrical panel in Cameo Shores, installing a whole-home generator near Harbor View Hills, or adding EV chargers for residents in Irvine Terrace.

Our team knows Corona Del Mar. We’ve worked on beach cottages in the village, hillside homes on the bluffs, and commercial properties along Pacific Coast Highway. When you hire us, you’re working with licensed electricians who’ve completed hundreds of projects in this neighborhood and understand what local properties need.

Circuit breakers trip frequently in Corona Del Mar homes, particularly in older properties built in the 1960s through 1980s. This often signals overloaded circuits or outdated 60-amp and 100-amp panels that cannot handle modern electrical demands like central air, kitchen appliances, home offices, and EV chargers. We upgrade panels to 200-amp service throughout Corona Del Mar, from beach cottages in the Village to hillside homes in Harbor View Hills, ensuring your electrical system meets current codes and safely powers your entire home.

Commercial Electrical Overloads

Retail spaces near the Village and restaurant kitchens along Pacific Coast Highway frequently experience electrical overloads. Modern commercial equipment like point-of-sale systems, commercial refrigeration, kitchen appliances, and outdoor dining lighting demands more power than older buildings were designed to handle. Tripped breakers and system failures disrupt business operations and affect your bottom line. We upgrade commercial electrical panels, install dedicated circuits for high-demand equipment, and ensure your Corona Del Mar business runs smoothly without electrical interruptions that cost you time and money.

Power Outages Without Backup Power

Power outages can happen anytime, and Corona Del Mar 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 Corona Del Mar and surrounding Newport Beach neighborhoods.

We handle everything, from electrical connections to ongoing maintenance. Learn more about our generator services.

Smart Home Integration in Corona Del Mar

Modern Corona Del Mar 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. Older homes being renovated also need updated electrical systems capable of supporting smart technology. We design and install electrical foundations that enable seamless smart home functionality throughout your property.
