Local Business Description
Hello, I'm Jeremy Collins. Thank you for visiting my business page. I began my career in the electrical trade at 15, learning through my family's business before moving to the desert in 1995. I spent years honing my skills, including about seven years wiring custom homes in Big Horn, before founding Collins Electrical Services in 2000. Since then, I've been dedicated to serving the Palm Desert community, applying my extensive experience in everything from custom home construction and residential remodels to specialized installations like home theaters, landscape lighting, and network cabling. My focus is on providing reliable, expert electrical solutions for your home or business.

Q&A
What's involved in an electrical panel change-out, and why might I need one?
An electrical panel change-out involves replacing your home's main service panel, which is the central hub for all your circuits. Many older homes in Palm Desert have panels that can't handle the increased electrical load from modern appliances, multiple air conditioners, or adding an electric vehicle charger. Our process includes a thorough inspection, obtaining any necessary permits from the local jurisdiction, safely installing a new panel with adequate capacity, and ensuring your entire system is up to current safety codes. This upgrade is crucial for safety and enables you to power your home reliably.
My outdoor outlet stopped working after a rain. Can you fix this common desert issue?
Absolutely. Water intrusion in outdoor outlets is a frequent problem here, especially with our occasional heavy rains and landscape irrigation. We diagnose the issue, which often involves damaged weatherproof seals or internal corrosion. Our repair or replacement service includes installing new, code-compliant GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets with proper weatherproof covers to protect against moisture. This not only restores power but, more importantly, eliminates a serious shock hazard for you and your family.
Do you handle the wiring and setup for a full home theater system?
Yes, we provide complete home theater installation and calibration. Our service goes beyond just mounting the TV. We handle all necessary electrical work, such as installing dedicated circuits and outlets for clean power, running in-wall speaker and network cables for a tidy setup, and integrating low-voltage wiring for components. With my background in custom homes and specialized systems, I ensure your audio, video, and control systems are properly installed and calibrated for optimal performance in your Palm Desert home.
