"I live "off the grid" so 100% of my electricity is from solar panels and battery storage. Recently my 21 year old system was starting to fail forcing me to continually run my generator. After researching and spending a large amount of time reading reviews online I contacted TARGET ELECTRIC & SOLAR for a quote. The next day they sent out an ELECTRICIAN to assess my needs and requirements. The following day I had a formal written quote. I had a few minor changes so they revised the quote. I told them I had an upcoming surgery scheduled so the timing was critical. I had just gone to Costco and loaded my freezer with over $300 in frozen food and that was going to melt down. The owner of Target Electric offered to let me put my food in his church/community centers freezers. I used my own church's freezers. Who does that? Target Electric laid out a three tier payment schedule and we got the project started. The components were shipped directly to my home and within a day or two the cre"

"I am just now beginning to experience issues with my place after buying nearly three years ago and I am needing to hire some professionals to assist. Marvin was excellent in his diagnosis of the issue as well as finding the parts to remedy my malfunctioning light fixture. He was always on time and and was pleasant company while he worked. He did not charge for a service call which was a breath of fresh air and he was more than fair with the price. I will definitely be hiring him again in the future. Thanks again, Marvin!"

"I had spoken with Charles by phone and he had made suggestions for an appropriate transfer switch (6-circuit) and he suggested that I investigate Panasonic fans.  Panasonic fans have very good reviews online.  I purchased the parts myself.  Charles arrived on time with an apprentice (Russell).  I asked about installing a connection in our backyard for my generator to power the transfer switch.  Charles looked at our vaulted ceilings and property lines and concluded that the power line would need to be installed externally through a conduit.  It would not be easy to put the conduit underground because of existing concrete that blocks the way.  The conduit would need to be above ground along the base of the house and partially through a neighbor's yard, which would probably violate CC&Rs.  I decided against that, we will just use a long cord during emergencies.  We worked through identifying the six circuits to connect to the transfer switch.  He and Russell then installed the transfer switch and the bathroom fans.  When they finished the transfer switch, we connected the generator for an end-to-end test.  It started badly because the generator was running rough (I had never started it before).  Russell suggested that we open the choke, and it started running much better!  Everything was done in less time than I had expected in spite of the training that was being done.  Charles was doing most of the technical work and teaching Russell.  He was charging a flat rate, so taking time to teach was not an issue.  Russell was doing much of the carpentry work and did a very nice clean-up job.  They both were attentive and professional.  I would not hesitate to recommend them or to have them do additional work.

Small jobs welcome

"I can’t speak highly enough about Jason and his team at Mr Sparky North County for the work they do at my home in Carlsbad. I needed a number of small electrical jobs done at my home and had previously had other Electricians out who were way expensive for installing new outlets, and updating my old ones. I found them polite, knowledgeable and performed the work quickly, and cleaned up after themselves"

FAQs for generator repair projects in San Diego, CA

Always start by confirming the pro’s license number, insurance coverage, and experience level. Visit the electrician’s website, scan recent customer reviews, and verify credentials with your local labor department. Request proof of liability insurance and at least two references that you can contact. These quick checks take only a few minutes but go a long way toward ensuring safe, code-compliant work and protecting your home in the event of an issue.

Grouping several electrical jobs into one appointment means you pay a single service-call fee and one set of travel expenses. Instead of asking a pro to return three separate times for outlets, switches, and fixtures, have everything tackled in one visit. The electrician stays productive, and you avoid extra trip charges, often shaving a sizable chunk off the final bill without compromising quality.

DIY electrical work can be dangerous and, in many areas, illegal without a license. One miswired connection risks shocks, fires, or expensive damage. Licensed electricians carry the right tools, follow local code, and know how to shut down power safely before they start. Hiring a pro may cost more upfront, but it protects your home, family, and insurance coverage in the long run.
