Old Beach Town Wiring, Modern Power Needs
Encinitas — Leucadia, Cardiff, Old Encinitas — grew up as a surf town of small bungalows and ranch homes. A lot of that original electrical is still in the walls: 60-amp services, ungrounded outlets, panels from manufacturers that don't exist anymore.
The AC wave. Encinitas is warming up, and homes that never needed air conditioning are adding mini-splits and central AC. A 100-amp panel from 1975 doesn't have room. We do 200-amp upgrades constantly here — usually the same week as the HVAC install.
Remodels uncover surprises. Open up a Leucadia cottage wall and you'll find the last 50 years of DIY: splices without boxes, undersized wire, mystery circuits. We sort it out and bring it to code as part of the remodel — or as a standalone safety inspection before you buy.
EVs and home offices. Like the rest of the coast, Encinitas is going electric — home chargers, dedicated office circuits, and lighting upgrades that make older homes feel new.
