Electrical services in Corona Del Mar, CA
Electrical Panel Upgrade
Corona del Mar's housing stock is a mix of original beach cottages and post-war bungalows built in the 1940s–1960s — many still running on 100-amp panels with vintage wiring — alongside newer luxury custom homes and mid-century modern remodels. The older cottages are frequently being renovated into high-value properties, and the electrical systems often need full upgrades to support the new scope.
Wilson Electric upgrades residential panels throughout Corona del Mar to 200A or 400A service. We coordinate with Southern California Edison, pull all required permits through the Newport Beach Building Department, and pass the city inspection — all included.
Pricing: $3,500–$5,500 for most residential main service panel upgrades. Free on-site assessments available.
