"I would be remise if I did not share that I am a retired engineer with 30 years of experience. Having said that, I know what I needed but electrical or low voltage is not my expertise. After a few quotes and discussion with various vendors it was not difficult for me selecting HKY Electric and communication For the job. Yousif was extremely profession. He not only listened to my needs but also offered much better options I went along with. He is an absolute craftsman. His quality of work was impeccable. Since we decided to run the cables behind the walls so they would not be present a choice many hesitate to pursue… He was extremely careful cutting the required access into the dry wall. He restored them to the point my wife needed me to point their locations when she arrived home because you simply could not notice them. Absolutely professional. The quote was unmatched to the other ridiculous offers but the end result speaks for itself. Feel free to reach out to me directly if you desire the see this piece of work upfront. That is how confident if feel about his work. My cell is 619-908-0884 Tony."

"Marvin provided a detailed estimate that my condo homeowners association board could easily approve. He was extra thorough and flexible in making the electrical changes in my laundry room needed for my new washer and dryer. He ensured that everything was completed to my satisfaction and followed up afterwards too! I would definitely hire Marvin again for additional work in my home."

"All projects were completely quickly with no problems afterward. The technicians were knowledgeable, organized, and patient. They assisted me with connecting my smart phone with the video doorbell and ensured that it was working before they left. My ceiling was much higher than expected. A phone call to Roque Jaime, the owner, resulted in a taller ladder being delivered by Roque within 30 minutes. I selected MJ Electric's quote because out of the many calls I made Roque Jaime was the only electrician that understood and explained my options for installing the video doorbell. I'm very pleased with the work they did for me."

"Once we were able to schedule and align on a time to visit, Keith did extremely high-quality work at our home, handling a number of issues with electrical outlets, ethernet/coaxial panels, and light switches with extreme care and effectiveness. My wife and I feel great with the repairs and upgrades Keith performed. We'd highly recommend him for his quality work --"

"Where other companies just assumed a generic installation, Walter Electric spent a lot of time planning a customized arrangement that worked best for our particular layout. They gave more options and suggestions, and it made all the difference in the end. I would definitely recommend them to anyone thinking about lighting installation!"

"From getting an estimate and receiving the information related to the upgrade on my electrical panel based on having an older home which was grandfathered in. I felt more at ease and comfortable with the upgrade from Keil, the technician was professional and so was staff that provided the estimate. I would never hesitate on hiring Keil for all of my electrical needs. "

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 "

"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"

FAQs for electrical for home addition or remodel installation projects in El Cajon, CA

There are several telltale signs that your home is due for an electrical upgrade. You may need to rewire your house if your lights are constantly flickering or your circuit breaker keeps tripping. If you feel mild electric shocks when you touch light switches, hear buzzing sounds, or notice burning smells, you may need to rewire your house, too. Discolored or burnt-looking switches and faceplates are another crucial warning sign. 

Properly installed copper wiring in a residential property can last as long as 50 to 100 years in some cases, but many homes over 30 years old are due for an upgrade. That’s the timeline that many experts recommend, even if it is only a partial update to accommodate technological advancements, increased power demands, and changing safety requirements. 

At $3 to $5 per square foot, the cost to wire a 2,000-square-foot house ranges from $6,000 to $10,000, on average. This can depend on many factors, like the age and complexity of the house and how easy it is for contractors to access the areas they need to get the job done. Opening and repairing walls can further add to your total cost.
