## What El Cajon calls us about

Six of the situations that come up most across San Diego County, and what each one usually turns out to be.

### Zinsco or Federal Pacific panel

These breakers have a documented history of failing to trip under fault. Replacement is the only real remedy, and it is one of our most common El Cajon jobs.

Panel upgrade in El Cajon

### Need power on a kitchen island

Islands need receptacles, and we can bring them up cleanly through a cabinet or a pop-up device without tearing up the counter.

Outlets and switches in El Cajon

### Breaker keeps tripping

A breaker doing its job means something downstream is pulling too much current or shorting. We meter the circuit, isolate the fault and repair it rather than swapping the breaker and hoping.

### Flickering lights

Usually a loose neutral, a failing connection in the panel, or a shared circuit that is overloaded. Whole-house flicker points at the service side and needs same-day attention.

### Existing generator won't start on outage

Usually the transfer switch, the battery or the exercise routine, not the engine. We diagnose the switching first.

### Ceiling fan wobbles or the box is loose

Standard boxes are not rated for fan loads. We install a fan-rated brace box, which is the actual fix for a wobble.

## Why El Cajon calls us

### Answered around the clock

A real dispatcher picks up at 3am, not a voicemail box that gets checked on Monday. Electrical faults get worse while they wait.

### One company for the whole job

Repairs, panels, generators, EV charging, lighting and low voltage under one number, so you are not coordinating three trades.

### Diagnosis before parts

We meter the circuit and find the actual fault. Swapping devices until something works is expensive for you and tells you nothing about why it failed.

### Flat price before work starts

You approve a number, then we work. No hourly meter running while a technician looks for parts, and no after-hours surcharge appearing on the invoice.

## El Cajon service area

We cover every neighborhood in El Cajon plus the surrounding towns, so a nearby address is never a problem.

## What El Cajon customers say

★★★★★

Added outlets to three bedrooms and a weatherproof one out back. Cuts were small, patches were tidy, and everything got labeled at the panel.

Hugo S.Outlet installation · El Cajon
★★★★★

Smart switches wouldn't work because there was no neutral. They pulled one, got everything on Lutron, and set up the scenes before leaving.

Chantal P.Smart home wiring · El Cajon
★★★★★

Zinsco panel replaced. Straight quote, one day of work, and they handled the utility disconnect scheduling so I didn't have to call anyone.
