Load calculation first
We calculate what your home actually needs today and for the next projects you're planning, so you don't overspend or come up short.
Upgrade from 100A to 200A, replace an outdated or unsafe panel, or make room for an EV charger, heat pump or solar. Permits, inspection and SDG&E coordination handled for you.
"You'll deal with me from the first call to the final walkthrough."
— Sebastian Urreta, owner & licensed electrician
Many San Diego homes still run on 100-amp panels installed decades ago, long before EV chargers, heat pumps, induction cooktops and home offices. When a panel is overloaded, breakers trip, lights dim and wiring can overheat.
SMUP Electrical sizes your new service with a proper load calculation, installs a modern panel with clearly labeled breakers, pulls the permit and coordinates the shut-off and reconnection with SDG&E, so you don't have to manage any of it.
We calculate what your home actually needs today and for the next projects you're planning, so you don't overspend or come up short.
We pull the permit, schedule the inspection and coordinate the utility disconnect and reconnect.
Clean wire management and every breaker clearly labeled, the same standard we bring to high-end homes.
We check grounding and bonding and point out any other safety issues we find, so nothing is hidden behind the cover.
In California, electrical work over $500 (labor + materials), and any job that needs a permit, requires a CSLB C-10 licensed contractor. SMUP Electrical is licensed (#1155780) and insured, so your insurance and your home's resale value stay protected.
