New Construction & Remodel Electrical in Costa Mesa & Orange County
Whether you're building a custom home, adding an ADU, or remodeling your kitchen — the electrical system is the backbone of the project. Wilson Electric provides complete electrical design, rough wiring, trim-out, and inspection coordination for residential and commercial construction projects throughout Orange County.
We work directly with general contractors, custom home builders, and homeowners throughout Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, and surrounding cities. As a licensed C10 electrical contractor, we pull our own permits and stand behind our work through every inspection.
New Construction Electrical Services
Complete home wiring. From underground service entrance to panel installation, rough-in wiring, device and fixture trim-out, and final inspection — we handle the entire electrical scope.
ADU electrical. Accessory dwelling units require their own electrical service, panel, and metering in most cases. We've wired ADUs throughout Orange County and understand the specific permit requirements.
Electrical design & load calculations. We can develop the electrical plan alongside your architect or contractor, or work from existing plans. Load calculations are included to ensure your panel is sized correctly from day one.
Code compliance & permits. Every new construction project requires permits. We manage the permit process and schedule inspections with the city at each required phase.
Energy-efficient solutions. We install LED lighting systems, energy monitoring circuits, and EV-ready infrastructure in new builds to meet California Title 24 requirements and beyond.
Backup power & generator hookups. Whole-home generator connections, transfer switches, and battery backup systems for new construction.
Remodel Electrical Services
Kitchen & bathroom remodels. Adding circuits for new appliances, moving outlets, installing under-cabinet lighting, or upgrading to GFCI protection — we handle all remodel electrical scopes.
Room additions. New living space requires new circuits, outlets, lighting, and often a panel upgrade to handle the added load.
Whole-home rewires. Older homes with aluminum wiring, knob-and-tube, or undersized circuits can be fully rewired to current NEC standards.
Smart home pre-wiring. New construction and major remodels are the ideal time to pre-wire for smart lighting, automated shading, security cameras, and home audio.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with general contractors?
Yes. Wilson Electric works as the electrical subcontractor on projects managed by GCs throughout Orange County. We're familiar with construction schedules, phased inspections, and coordinating with other trades.
What is rough-in vs trim-out electrical?
Rough-in is the phase where wiring is run through walls and ceilings before drywall is installed. Trim-out (also called finish) is when devices, outlets, fixtures, and covers are installed after drywall and paint. Wilson Electric handles both phases.
Do you wire ADUs in Costa Mesa and Newport Beach?
Yes. We've wired ADUs throughout Costa Mesa and Orange County. ADUs typically require their own electrical meter, panel, and service entrance, in addition to all interior wiring.
Can you handle the electrical for a kitchen remodel?
Yes. Kitchen remodels commonly require dedicated circuits for the refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, garbage disposal, and countertop outlets (GFCI-protected per NEC). We handle the full kitchen electrical scope.
Do you provide electrical plans?
We can develop basic electrical layout plans for permit submittal, or work from architect-provided plans. For complex commercial projects requiring stamped drawings, we can refer you to an electrical engineer.
