Business Background
Born into a construction family, I've been immersed in the world of tools since childhood, accumulating over 25 years of hands-on electrical experience. As the licensed, insured, and bonded owner of Santucci Electric in Tustin, I bring that deep trade knowledge to every project. My business has grown through word of mouth in Orange County by focusing on reliable craftsmanship and clear communication. I specialize in residential electrical work, from troubleshooting power outages and short circuits to performing essential upgrades like main panel replacements and adding 240v circuits for garages and backyard amenities. I work closely with homeowners, general contractors, and realtors on remodels and room additions, ensuring all work meets code, is properly permitted, and receives city sign-off. My goal is to provide electrical solutions that are safe, functional, and built to last.
Question Answers
My Tustin home has an old 100-amp panel. Why should I consider upgrading to 200 amps, and what does the process involve?
Many older homes in Tustin have 100-amp panels that can't handle the modern electrical load from multiple appliances, EV chargers, or home additions. An upgrade to 200 amps provides the capacity you need for safety and convenience. At Santucci Electric, we handle the entire process: starting with a load calculation to ensure your home's needs are met, obtaining the necessary permits from the City of Tustin, performing the panel swap to current code, and scheduling the final inspection for sign-off. It's a comprehensive service we specialize in.
I'm losing power in parts of my house and am worried about underground cable damage, which I've heard is common here. Can you help diagnose and fix this?
Absolutely. Soil shifts in our area can indeed damage underground service cables, leading to intermittent power loss or complete failure. We start with a thorough inspection to pinpoint the issue, whether it's at the panel, in the wiring, or the underground service line itself. If the problem is with the buried cable, we coordinate the repair or replacement, ensuring the new installation is robust and up to code for the local soil conditions. Our troubleshooting focuses on finding a lasting solution.
We're adding a room and need more outlets and lighting. Do you work with contractors, and how do you ensure the new circuits won't overload my panel?
Yes, we frequently collaborate with general contractors on room additions and remodels. A key part of our service is performing load calculations on your existing electrical panel before adding any new 240v or 120v circuits. This math ensures your upgraded system can safely handle the increased demand from the new space without risking future overloads or tripped breakers. We handle all wiring, outlet, and light fixture installations per code and secure the required permits for a seamless project.
