Upgrading Costa Mesa’s Mid-Century Homes

A large share of Costa Mesa’s homes were built in the 1950s and 1960s. Many still have original panels, limited circuits and ungrounded outlets. These are the projects we do most often in the city:

Panel and service upgrades. Moving from 60 or 100 amps to 200 amps gives your home room for central air, modern kitchens, EV chargers and ADUs. Learn about our panel upgrade services, or check the 7 signs it’s time to upgrade your panel.

Rewiring. Replacing cloth-insulated or ungrounded wiring improves safety and makes remodels easier. See our whole house rewiring page.

ADUs and garage conversions. Costa Mesa has seen many ADU projects. We plan load calculations, subpanels and dedicated circuits so your ADU is permitted and powered correctly.

Troubleshooting. Breakers that keep tripping, dead outlets and flickering lights are common in older homes. Our electrical troubleshooting finds the root cause. You can also read why your circuit breaker keeps tripping.

Commercial work. We support Costa Mesa offices, retail and restaurants with tenant improvements, lighting retrofits and maintenance through our commercial electrical services.
