The Electrical Work We Do Most

Most of our calls in San Gabriel are for panel upgrades. We also handle repairs, car chargers, lighting and outlets, along with rewiring and cabling for homes and businesses.

Electrical Repairs

Dead outlets, flickering lights, a switch that’s warm to the touch, or a breaker that won’t stay on. We trace the trouble back to its cause, whether that’s a loose connection, a worn-out device or an overloaded circuit, and fix it properly.

Panel Upgrades

Plenty of San Gabriel homes still run on small panels or fuse boxes that can’t keep up with air conditioning, electric ranges and car chargers. We replace the old panel, update the grounding and size the new service to what the house actually uses.

EV Charger Installation

A Level 2 charger needs a circuit of its own and room in your panel to carry it. We look at the panel’s capacity first, then run the circuit to where you park and mount the charger.

Lighting and Outlets

New fixtures, recessed lights, ceiling fans, dimmers, and outlets where the extension cords keep piling up. We help you settle the details first, like where the switch goes and what’s rated for outdoors, then install it neatly.

Reviews of Our Panel and Repair Work

  • We had a 100 amp panel that was completely fried and Rey was able to replace it with a 200 amp panel, repair the stucco on the wall in just half a day! Two days later the inspector came, approved the work and we're done! Thanks Rey! Definitely recommend!

  • I was having electrical issues at my residence due to my old fuse box, so I called Rey based on these outstanding Yelp reviews. He came over the same day and explained in detail what needed to be done. Rey was able to accommodate me the same week for a new electrical panel! Rey Electric did an excellent job and they were a pleasure to deal with! Would I recommend Rey Electric? I'm doing that right now!

  • We had lost power in a portion of our home and flipping the switch on the fuse box didn't do the trick. Called Rey and he was over within the hour! He checked out the potential problem areas, located the issue and fixed it all within an hour of arrival. Rey was responsive, expertly identified the issue and very quickly fixed it! THANKS REY!

Questions We Hear on the Phone

My breaker keeps tripping. Should I worry?

A breaker that trips once when the microwave and the toaster run together is doing its job. One that trips again and again, trips with almost nothing running, or feels warm is telling you something is wrong. Unplug what was running, reset it once, and if it trips again, leave it off and give us a call.

How do I know my panel is too small?

The usual signs are breakers that trip when the air conditioner and the dryer run at the same time, lights that dim when something big starts up, no empty spaces left for a new circuit, or a fuse box still doing the job. Planning a car charger or an electric range is another good reason to look at the panel first.

Do you work in apartments, shops and offices too?

Yes. Besides houses, we work in apartments for landlords and in shops and offices for business owners. We wire new offices from the ground up, and we run computer, telephone and television cable, mount security cameras and connect kitchen appliances as well.

Can you put a car charger in at my house?

Yes. We check whether your panel has the room for it, then run a dedicated circuit to where you park and mount the charger. If the panel can’t carry the extra load, we’ll show you what we found and what it would take.

Should I try fixing a dead outlet myself?

Check the easy things first: a tripped breaker, or a GFCI outlet in the bathroom, kitchen or garage that needs resetting. If that doesn’t bring it back, or the outlet is warm, scorched or buzzing, leave it alone and have an electrician look at it.
