Full-service electrical contracting

Licensed electricians for homes and businesses.

CaliVolt is a licensed CSLB C-10 electrical contractor. Our own crew handles residential service calls, repairs, EV chargers, lighting, outlets and new circuits, troubleshooting, and commercial builds, and we pull a permit for every job. A licensed electrician walks the job and quotes a fixed price within 24 hours; the visit and the quote are free for residential work. Most service work is finished the same day or within a few days.

Six services. One licensed crew.

Our own California-licensed electricians do the work. Every job is permitted, inspected, and covered by our workmanship warranty.

Main electrical panel upgrades

From 100A or older split panels up to modern 200A+ service. Required for many solar installs and EV chargers.

When to consider

  • Your home was built before 1990 and still has the original panel
  • You're planning EV charging or solar (most need 200A minimum)
  • You see flickering, breakers trip often, or you smell anything hot near the panel
Panel upgrade details

Whole-home re-wires

Replace original wiring in older homes. We bring knob-and-tube, aluminum branch circuits, and ungrounded outlets up to current code.

When to consider

  • Pre-1965 home with original wiring still in place
  • Aluminum wiring (fire risk; many insurers now require replacement)
  • A major remodel, when rewiring is easier and cheaper

EV charger installation

Level 2 home charging: Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, Wallbox, JuiceBox, Emporia. Pair it with solar for cheaper charging.

When to consider

  • You bought (or plan to buy) any EV
  • You want to charge overnight at home rates
  • You want to time-shift charging to solar production hours

Lighting & fixtures

Recessed cans, pendants, chandeliers, under-cabinet, outdoor landscape, dimmer + smart-switch installation.

When to consider

  • Adding rooms during a remodel
  • Replacing original incandescent with LED + smart controls
  • Outdoor lighting: pathways, eaves, security floods

Residential & commercial wiring

New circuits, dedicated 240V lines, sub-panels, room additions, commercial buildouts. Up to 400A service.

When to consider

  • Room additions or new construction
  • Adding 240V appliances (range, dryer, hot tub, welder)
  • Commercial tenant improvements
  • Workshop or detached structures needing their own service
Industrial & commercial

Custom electrical solutions

Generator interlock kits, transfer switches, surge protection, smart home wiring, anything we haven't listed.

When to consider

  • Whole-home generator setup or interlock kit
  • Whole-home surge protection
  • Smart home rewiring (Lutron, Crestron, smart panels)
  • Anything you're not sure about. Call us.

EV chargers, lighting, and outlets.

Three jobs make up most of what we get called for. Here's what each one covers.

EV Charger Installation

We install Level 2 EV chargers at homes, multi-family buildings, and commercial parking. We work with Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, Wallbox, JuiceBox, Emporia, or the unit that shipped with the car.

Every EV charger install starts with a panel capacity assessment. A Level 2 charger pulls 40–60A continuously, and plenty of older 100A services can't carry that on top of the AC, range, and dryer. If your panel is short, we quote the upgrade alongside the charger so it's one permit, one crew, one trip.

  • Level 2 charger wiring on a dedicated 240V circuit
  • Panel capacity assessment and load calculation for EV loads
  • Home, multi-family, and commercial EV charger installation
  • Permitted and inspected on every install

Lighting Installation & Repair

Interior and exterior lighting: recessed cans, pendants, chandeliers, under-cabinet strips, landscape and pathway lights, security floods, and parking-lot poles.

Retrofits are our most common lighting job. We pull dated incandescent or fluorescent fixtures, replace them with LED, and add dimmers or smart switches while the walls are open. We also troubleshoot lighting that's already installed: flickering cans, dead switch legs, buzzing dimmers, and exterior circuits that quit after a storm.

  • Recessed lighting installation and retrofit
  • Fixture upgrades, interior, exterior, and landscape
  • LED conversions with dimmers and smart switches
  • Lighting repair and troubleshooting

Outlet & Plug Installation

Adding outlets where you need them, replacing worn ones, and fixing the ones that stopped working. Kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and any exterior location need GFCI protection, and most new branch circuits need AFCI as well. We wire to current California code.

New appliance? A dishwasher, range, dryer, hot tub, or shop compressor almost always wants its own dedicated circuit instead of sharing one. And if an outlet is dead, warm to the touch, sparking, or tripping a breaker, we trace the circuit and find the actual fault rather than just swapping the device.

  • Outlet installation, replacement, and repair
  • GFCI and AFCI protection brought up to current code
  • New dedicated circuits for appliances, including 240V
  • Dead, hot, or tripping outlet troubleshooting

Permitted. Inspected. Warrantied.

We pull a city permit for every electrical job. Every job is inspected. Every job carries the same 10-year workmanship warranty as our solar installs.

Unpermitted electrical work can cost you insurance coverage and resale value. We don't do it.

How we price the work.

A licensed electrician walks the job first. The visit and the quote are free for residential work under 100 miles from our service centers.

You get a fixed price in writing. The number on the proposal is the number you pay. If we find something unexpected mid-job, we stop and call you before adding anything.

Jobs over $5,000 take a 50% deposit. The balance is due after the inspection is signed off.
