Electrical Services for Homes, Businesses & Construction

From an outlet that stopped working to a complete electrical system for a new home, J.I.C. Electric handles repairs, upgrades, remodels, construction and outdoor electrical work throughout Southern California.

You don't need to know the technical name of the service you need. Start with the problem you're experiencing, or with what you're planning to build, change or upgrade.

Category 01 — New construction

New Construction Electrical

Building electrical systems from the ground up requires decisions long before switches and fixtures go on the walls.

J.I.C. Electric provides electrical work for new homes, additions, ADUs and other construction projects, coordinating the electrical system with the way the finished property will actually be used.

Remodel Electrical

Remodeling changes how a space is used — and often changes what the electrical system needs to support.

Panel & Service Upgrades

The electrical panel is where the property’s circuits and available capacity come together.

When equipment is aging, damaged, undersized or unable to support new electrical loads, J.I.C. Electric can evaluate what the property needs and determine the appropriate upgrade.

Category 04 — Repairs

Troubleshooting & Repairs

You do not need to diagnose an electrical problem before calling an electrician.

If something stopped working, keeps tripping, flickers, buzzes or simply does not seem right, start with the symptom. J.I.C. Electric can trace the problem and determine the appropriate repair.

Experience behind the work

Electrical Work Backed by Approximately 20 Years of Experience

Electrical systems vary from property to property and project to project. J.I.C. Electric brings approximately 20 years of hands-on electrical experience to troubleshooting, upgrades, remodeling, construction and larger project work.

Whether the project begins with an electrical problem or a set of construction plans, the first step is the same: understanding what the property actually needs.

FAQ

Electrical Service FAQ

The questions that come up most before a first call. Service-specific questions are answered on each service page.

+I don't know which electrical service I need. Can I still contact you?

Yes. Describe what is happening or what you are planning. You do not need to diagnose the electrical system yourself — determining the right service is part of the first conversation.

+Do you handle both small electrical repairs and larger projects?

Yes. Single-device and single-circuit repairs are normal work, alongside remodels, panel upgrades and ground-up construction. Availability for a given project is confirmed when you inquire.

+Can you work with my general contractor or builder?

Yes. J.I.C. regularly works as the electrical subcontractor on residential projects, from the plan set and the construction schedule.

Electrical Subcontracting for Builders →
+Can you help determine whether my panel has enough electrical capacity?

Yes. Electrical capacity is evaluated with a load calculation as part of planning for new loads — EV charging, an ADU, electric appliances, HVAC or an addition.

Panel & Service Upgrades →
+Can I send photos of the electrical problem or project?

Yes, if it is safe to take them. Photos of the panel, the device or the space usually shorten the first conversation considerably.

+Do you provide electrical work for remodels?

Yes — kitchens, bathrooms, additions and whole-home renovations, including the circuits and wiring behind the walls.

Remodel Electrical →
+Do you provide electrical work for new construction?

Yes — new homes, additions and ADUs, from plan review and rough-in through trim and final inspection.

New Construction Electrical →
+Do you install EV chargers?

Yes. Capacity is evaluated first, then the dedicated circuit and connection for compatible charging equipment.

EV Charger Installation →
+Do you install 240V circuits?

Yes — for ranges, dryers, saunas, spas, heat pumps, shop equipment and charging, sized from the equipment requirements.

Dedicated 120V & 240V Circuits →
+What areas do you serve?

North County San Diego, San Diego County, Orange County, Riverside County and Los Angeles County, with coverage planned by project type.

Service Areas →
+Can I contact J.I.C. before my construction project starts?

Yes, and earlier is better. Service size, panel location and load decisions are nearly free during planning and expensive after framing.
