MAIN 200AOutlet & Switch Installation in Costa Mesa, CA
Extension cords under rugs and power strips daisy-chained behind the sofa are the two most common things we find in Costa Mesa homes, and both trace back to the same problem: not enough outlets in the right places.

Situations we see in Costa Mesa
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.
Only two outlets in the room
Older Costa Mesa bedrooms were wired for a lamp and a clock. We extend the circuit or run a new one, depending on existing load.
No GFCI in the kitchen or bath
Wet-location circuits need it. Adding protection at the first device in the run covers everything downstream.
Outlet won't hold a plug
Worn contacts. A loose receptacle arcs under load, and replacement is a ten-minute job worth doing immediately.

Reviews from Orange County
Hot tub circuit and disconnect. Permit, inspection, everything. Showed up when they said and cleaned up after.
Owen H.Hot tub wiring · Costa MesaAdded 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 · Costa MesaKitchen breaker kept popping whenever we ran the microwave and kettle. They put in a dedicated circuit instead of just telling us to use one appliance at a time.
Alicia G.Dedicated circuit · Costa MesaOutlet & Switch Installation in Costa Mesa — questions
Can you add an outlet on an outside wall?
Yes, with a weather-resistant receptacle and an in-use cover. That is the correct assembly for a location exposed to rain or sprinklers.
Can you install smart switches and outlets?
Yes. The catch is that many smart devices need a neutral in the switch box, which older Costa Mesa homes often lack. We check first and tell you before you buy.
How much does it cost to add an outlet in Costa Mesa?
A new receptacle on an existing nearby circuit is the low end. Cost rises if we have to run a new home run from the panel or open finished walls. Call (833) 652-8933 and we will quote your specific spot.
What is a dedicated circuit and do I need one?
It is a circuit serving one appliance only. Microwaves, window AC units, space heaters and shop tools all want one, and it is the permanent fix for a breaker that trips whenever two things run at once.
Do I need GFCI outlets in my Costa Mesa home?
In kitchens, bathrooms, garages, laundry areas, unfinished basements and anywhere outdoors, yes. If your house predates those requirements it very likely has none.
