Electrical Contractor and Electrician Service, San Diego, CA

Thanks for visiting the Prism Electric blog page!
Electrical repairs and remodeling are the topic of this posting. Many homes and buildings in San Diego, CA and the surrounding areas have been around for decades. Our clients often need significant repairs or replacement of electrical devices or equipment to ensure safe and reliable operation of their electrical system.  Below is a photo of an electrical panel that had damaged bussing due to improper circuit loads and age of equipment. Below that photo, is a photo of a newly installed electrical panel with arc-fault circuit breakers protecting bedroom circuits.

  

Worn or outdated equipment should be replaced or repaired before unsafe symptoms appear. Phase and load balancing and proper circuit loads provide safe, efficient operation of equipment. Symptoms like a buzzing or fizzing sound at your electrical panel or a device location indicate the need for de-energizing the associated circuit or equipment, and immediate replacement or repair of the equipment by a licensed electrical contractor. Flickering lights, intermittent power loss or tripping circuit breakers are also symptoms of deeper electrical issues that require immediate attention. If you own an older home or building and can't remember the last time you had a safety consultation for your electrical system, contact Prism Electric for an on site consultation and safety evaluation. 

The progress of technology in our industry provides many opportunities for our clients to enhance the safety of existing wiring and equipment, and enhance economic value of the system output through remodeling. Lighting fixture and control upgrades can not only enhance safety, but also provide immediate energy savings and environmental kindness. Modern circuit breakers offer a variety of protection types and new devices can replace worn outdated plugs and switches also enhancing safety and efficiency. Many other options are available to our clients to create a safer more economical electrical system.

Feel free to contact me directly for an on site consultation.

Cordially,

Upgrade Your Electrical Service

Welcome to the PRISM ELECTRIC blog page:

We provide Commercial and Residential Electrical contracting services to clients across the San Diego, CA area. Many of our clients who are home owners, find themselves in need of upgrading the amperage of their electrical service panel to make it possible for additional loads to be incorporated into the system, like a spa, pool equipment, air conditioning, or for additional loads required by a home remodel. Another reason we often encounter, is replacing an existing service panel that is no longer safe, due to deterioration or age of the equipment. Most home owners' initial reaction is feeling that the project wil be extremely complicated and inconvenient. Not so. Typically we schedule a panel replacement date through the city building department and SDG&E, within two weeks of contracting the project, and complete the change out in a single day. The process of upgrading the system can be scheduled as early as two weeks from the initial contract date through PRISM ELECTRIC, and involves either overhead or underground service conductors to be upgraded in size. Overhead services require the conduit rising through the roof / structure to be replaced and upsized for larger service entrance conductor installation, and underground services normally require trenching to SDG&E's nearest point of connection, for upsizing the underground conduit between that SDG&E service connection and the home electrical service, so larger service lateral conductors can be provided by SDG&E. PRISM ELECTRIC coordinates the entire project for clientele, from planning and permitting to installations and inspections, to achieve a smooth construction schedule and convenient process throughout the electrical construction and project scope. We provide consulting services to clients across the greater San Diego, CA area to ensure that the safety of existing electrical is maintained or acheived through replacement of equipment and apperatus, or that the new equipment is sized correctly for the incorporation of new or future load additions. You can contact me personally through the company website at www.prismelectricsocal.com , on the estimate request page or provided contact phone numbers on the site. Above are two photos from related projects. Thanks for your interest in our services!
