San Diego electrical work has specific challenges. Coastal salt air corrodes outdoor panels and disconnects in Encinitas and La Jolla. PSPS shutoffs push backup-power demand in Ramona and Julian. EV adoption in Poway and San Marcos pushes panel upgrades. We know the county, the code, and the equipment.

How much does a 200-amp panel upgrade cost?
Most 100A → 200A panel upgrades run $2,800 to $4,200 installed, including the permit, new meter socket, main breaker, grounding, and SDG&E coordination. Long meter-to-panel runs or exterior weatherheads add cost. Ask for a written quote before any work starts.
Can the electrician install an EV charger and help with rebate paperwork?
Yes. Most Level 2 home installs run $850 to $1,800 depending on panel-to-charger distance and conduit run. The electrician runs a load calc to confirm panel capacity, pulls the permit, and gives you the receipts and breakdown for SDG&E rebate filings.
Does the electrician pull permits and stay through inspection?
The electrician who takes the job pulls the permit for panel upgrades, EV chargers, generator installs, and new circuits. They meet the inspector and stay on site through sign-off. Insurers can deny claims tied to unpermitted work, and unpermitted work creates disclosure problems at resale.
