Horizon Lighting | Top-Rated Electrical Company in Irvine, CA

We recommend a two-part approach. First, our electricians can inspect and upgrade your home's main electrical panel to ensure proper grounding, which is a critical first line of defense. Second, we can install whole-house surge protection devices at your panel. This system works behind the scenes to divert dangerous voltage spikes from the grid or internal sources away from your sensitive electronics, offering more comprehensive protection than standard power strips. Given the local grid's susceptibility to surges, this is a prudent investment for Irvine homes.

Absolutely. Our licensed electricians are proficient in all forms of wire installation, which is the backbone of adding new major electrical systems. For an EV charger, we assess your home's electrical capacity, run the appropriate gauge wiring from your panel to the installation location, and ensure everything is up to current code for safety and performance. The same meticulous process applies to generator hookups, where proper wiring is crucial for safe automatic transfer during a power outage. We handle the entire installation from permit to final inspection.

Our electric inspections are thorough safety check-ups for your home's electrical system. We examine your main service panel for wear, overheating, or outdated components like Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels common in older Southern California homes. We test circuits, check grounding systems, inspect outlets for proper wiring and GFCI/AFCI protection, and evaluate the condition of visible wiring. For Irvine homes, we pay special attention to connections for solar inverters and whole-house surge protection. The goal is to identify potential hazards—like faulty wiring that could cause a fire or equipment failure—before they become emergencies.
