Company Overview
I'm Jeff Draper, President of Dwelling Electric, a licensed and insured family-owned electrical company serving San Diego since 2010. With a career in residential electrical work that began in 1998, I bring over two decades of experience, including a residential electrical certification held by only a small percentage of electricians in California. My background started in new construction, which gave me a deep understanding of how homes are wired from the ground up. This expertise now translates directly to troubleshooting and upgrading existing systems for local homeowners. At Dwelling Electric, we focus on clear communication, clean workmanship, and reliable service for everything from EV charger installations and panel upgrades to lighting repairs and inspections.

Q&A
As a San Diego homeowner, how do you handle common local electrical problems like outdoor lighting corrosion or solar inverter wiring issues?
San Diego's coastal climate can lead to corrosion in outdoor lighting circuits, and solar system wiring can develop faults over time. We address this by first performing a thorough inspection to identify the specific points of failure. For outdoor lighting, we often recommend and install corrosion-resistant components and proper waterproofing to prevent future issues. For solar inverter wiring, our experience with electrical load calculations and system diagnostics allows us to safely troubleshoot and repair connections to ensure your solar investment is operating efficiently and safely, complying with all local codes.
What does your residential electrical certification mean for my home project?
My residential electrical certification is a specialized designation focused solely on home electrical systems, held by a small fraction of certified electricians in California. For your project, it means you're working with an expert who understands the specific requirements and potential challenges of residential wiring, from older San Diego homes to new constructions. This certification underscores our deep knowledge in areas like panel upgrades, circuit troubleshooting, and ensuring all work meets the strict safety standards for California dwellings, giving you added confidence in the quality and compliance of our work.
Can you help with installing an electric vehicle charger at my home?
Yes, EV charger installation is one of our specialties. We work with popular brands like Tesla, Emporia, JuiceBox, and Wallbox. The process starts with an assessment of your home's electrical panel to ensure it can handle the added load safely. We then handle the entire installation, including any necessary circuit breaker upgrades, proper wiring, and mounting the unit. We ensure the installation is up to code and optimized for your daily use, providing a reliable and fast-charging solution right at home.
