Costa Mesa isn’t just another Orange County city, it’s a community with distinct electrical challenges that require specialized knowledge. The city’s housing stock spans seven decades, from post-war homes built in the 1940s and 50s with outdated electrical systems, to modern developments with complex smart home integration. Each era presents unique challenges that generic electricians often mishandle.
Your coastal location creates specific electrical vulnerabilities. Salt air from the nearby Pacific accelerates corrosion on outdoor electrical components, panel connections, and even indoor wiring in poorly sealed homes. We’ve seen countless electrical failures in Costa Mesa caused by corrosion that inland electricians wouldn’t recognize until it’s too late. Our material specifications and installation techniques account for coastal environmental factors that directly impact your electrical system’s longevity and safety.
Costa Mesa’s commercial landscape is equally demanding. From high-end retail requiring precision lighting and power distribution, to restaurants with heavy-duty kitchen electrical loads, to creative studios with specific power quality requirements, commercial electrical work here demands expertise beyond residential experience. We’ve completed hundreds of commercial projects throughout Costa Mesa, understanding not just the technical requirements but also the permitting processes, inspection standards, and timeline pressures businesses face.
The diversity of Costa Mesa properties means cookie-cutter solutions don’t work. A Mesa Verde ranch home from 1962 needs completely different electrical considerations than a South Coast Metro high-rise condo. Medical offices have different power requirements than retail spaces. We assess each property individually, designing solutions that address your specific situation rather than applying generic approaches that often fail.
All Thingz Electric provides comprehensive electrical solutions designed specifically for Costa Mesa's residential and commercial properties. Every service we offer reflects years of experience solving real electrical challenges in this community. From emergency repairs that can't wait to complex installations requiring meticulous planning, we bring the same commitment to excellence to every project.

Business operations depend on reliable electrical infrastructure. We provide commercial electrical services that minimize downtime, meet code requirements, and support your business objectives.
Electrical Panel Upgrades & Service Increases
Most Costa Mesa homes built before 1990 operate on 100-amp electrical services designed for a different era. Modern homes need 200-amp or 400-amp services to safely power air conditioning, electric vehicles, home offices, and today’s appliances. We upgrade electrical panels and service capacity, ensuring your system handles current and future electrical demands without safety compromises.
Emergency Electrical Repairs
Electrical problems don’t schedule themselves for convenient times. Sparking outlets, burning smells from electrical panels, circuits that won’t reset, and complete power loss require immediate professional response. Our emergency electricians arrive equipped to diagnose and repair urgent electrical issues, restoring safety and power when you need it most.
Complete Home Rewiring
Older Costa Mesa homes often have outdated wiring that poses fire hazards and can’t support modern electrical loads. We specialize in whole-home rewiring that brings your electrical system up to current code standards, improves safety, adds capacity for new circuits, and increases your property value, all while minimizing disruption to your daily life.
EV Charger Installation
Electric vehicle charging requires proper electrical infrastructure most older homes lack. We install Level 2 charging stations (240-volt, same power as your dryer) that fully charge vehicles overnight. Our installations include load calculations, panel capacity assessment, proper permitting, and code-compliant installation that works reliably for years.
Backup Generator Systems
Power outages disrupt everything from home comfort to business operations. We install whole-home and commercial standby generators that automatically activate during power failures, keeping critical systems running. Our generator installations include transfer switches, proper fuel connections, permitting, and thorough testing.
Kitchen & Bathroom Electrical
Kitchen and bathroom remodels demand substantial electrical updates. Modern kitchens need dedicated circuits for appliances, GFCI protection on all countertop outlets, proper range and microwave circuits, and under-cabinet lighting. Bathrooms require GFCI protection, ventilation fan wiring, and adequate lighting circuits, all properly permitted and inspected.
Smart Home Electrical Systems
Modern homes benefit from integrated electrical automation. We install smart lighting controls, whole-home automation systems, automated window treatments, smart thermostats with proper wiring, and integrated security systems, all designed to work together seamlessly while remaining user-friendly.
Landscape & Outdoor Electrical
Your outdoor spaces need proper electrical infrastructure for lighting, entertainment, and functionality. We install landscape lighting systems, pool and spa electrical with required safety features, outdoor kitchen circuits, patio heater power, and outlets for outdoor living areas, all built to withstand coastal environmental conditions.
Commercial Tenant Improvements
Costa Mesa’s dynamic business community requires flexible electrical contractors who deliver quality work on tight timelines. We provide electrical services for retail build-outs, restaurant installations with heavy-duty kitchen power, office electrical systems, and specialized commercial applications, managing permits, coordinating with general contractors, and meeting inspection deadlines.
Electrical Troubleshooting & Diagnostics
Some electrical problems aren’t obvious. Circuits that trip intermittently, outlets that work sometimes but not others, mysterious voltage fluctuations, and unexplained electrical behavior require diagnostic expertise. We systematically identify root causes and implement permanent repairs rather than temporary fixes.
Lighting Design & Installation
Professional lighting design transforms spaces while improving functionality and reducing energy costs. We provide recessed lighting installation, LED retrofit and upgrades, exterior security and architectural lighting, landscape lighting design, and specialized applications like art gallery lighting or restaurant ambiance systems.
Electrical Code Compliance & Safety Inspections
Properties that fail electrical inspections need expert remediation. We correct electrical code violations, update systems to meet current standards, prepare properties for sale inspections, and provide comprehensive electrical safety evaluations that identify potential hazards before they cause problems.

If your Costa Mesa home has an older 100-amp panel, upgrading is essential for safety and modern usage. Homes today demand far more electricity—EV chargers, central AC, home offices, large appliances, and multiple devices all add load. Undersized panels cause overloaded circuits, tripping breakers, and are a leading fire risk. We assess your current and future electrical needs and recommend the appropriate service size, often upgrading to 200 or 400 amps for safe, reliable operation.
Timeline depends on the project. Simple repairs or outlet replacements take 1–2 hours, adding a circuit or ceiling fan 2–4 hours, EV charger installation 4–8 hours, and panel upgrades 6–10 hours for standard cases. Whole-home rewiring or complex commercial projects can take days to weeks. We provide realistic estimates, keep you informed, and schedule strategically to minimize disruption, responding immediately to emergencies.
Call us immediately for burning smells, sparking or arcing, hot outlets or switches, breakers that trip repeatedly, smoke, water exposure, complete power loss, or buzzing/crackling sounds. These indicate fire, electrocution, or major system failure risks. Our emergency electricians are available 24/7 to diagnose and resolve urgent issues safely.
Yes, we handle all Costa Mesa electrical permits and inspections, including panel upgrades, service changes, new circuits, generators, major renovations, and commercial projects. We prepare applications, submit documentation, schedule inspections, and coordinate with city inspectors to ensure compliance. Proper permitting protects you legally, ensures work is performed safely, and prevents costly rework or insurance issues.
Electrical costs reflect expertise, safety, materials, licensing, insurance, permits, tools, and post-installation support. Experienced electricians invest in proper assessment, high-quality components, and code-compliant installation. Lower-priced quotes often cut corners, sacrificing reliability, safety, or accountability. With All Thingz Electric, you’re paying for safe, lasting solutions backed by licensed professionals and warranties.
Make our visit as efficient as possible by taking a few simple preparation steps:
GFCI Protection in Wet Locations
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets are required in all bathrooms, kitchen countertop outlets, garages, outdoor outlets, laundry areas, and within six feet of sinks. GFCI outlets detect dangerous ground faults and immediately shut off power, preventing electrocution. Older Costa Mesa homes often lack GFCI protection in required locations, this isn’t grandfathered; it’s a serious safety deficiency we correct during service upgrades or remodels.
AFCI Protection for Living Spaces
Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) breakers are required on circuits serving bedrooms, living rooms, and most other living spaces. AFCIs detect dangerous arcing conditions that can start fires and shut off power before damage occurs. When we upgrade panels or add circuits, current code requires AFCI protection on affected circuits.
Proper Wire Sizing and Circuit Loading
Electrical circuits must use appropriately sized wire for their amperage rating. 15-amp circuits require 14-gauge wire minimum, while 20-amp circuits need 12-gauge wire. Circuits cannot be loaded beyond 80% of their rated capacity for continuous loads. Improper wire sizing or overloaded circuits cause overheating and fire hazards.
Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
California requires hardwired smoke detectors in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of your home. Carbon monoxide detectors are required outside sleeping areas. Detectors must be interconnected so activation of one triggers all units. When we perform major electrical work, we ensure your property meets current detector requirements.
Tamper-Resistant Receptacles
All newly installed outlets in areas accessible to children must be tamper-resistant. These outlets have internal shutters preventing children from inserting objects into slots. This is a critical safety requirement for families with young children.
Proper Outdoor Electrical Installation
Outdoor electrical components must use weatherproof enclosures rated for wet locations, include proper GFCI protection, and be installed with appropriate burial depth for underground wiring. Coastal Costa Mesa locations require additional corrosion protection beyond minimum code requirements.
