Ms Sparky Electric

Is your current electrical panel overloaded? Is it time to upgrade your electrical panel to one that can handle the electrical load of a modern home or business?

Ms. Sparky Electric has been upgrading electrical panels in Encinitas, Carlsbad, and throughout North County for many years. Our licensed electricians can help you choose the best electrical panel for your home or business and provide expert installation. We can also pull all the necessary permits and coordinate with SDG&E and the appropriate city departments for your electrical panel upgrade.

When to Replace and Upgrade the Electrical Panel in Your Carlsbad or Encinitas Home

If your home still has a 100-Amp panel, you should strongly consider replacing it with a 200-Amp panel, since a 100-Amp panel is typically inadequate for most homes in North County. Here are several other reasons why your home may be due for an electrical panel upgrade:

  • Your home is more than 20 years old, and the panel has never been upgraded
  • You want to add an electric vehicle charging station
  • You want to add solar panels to your home
  • You have replaced (or intend to replace) your gas appliances with electric versions (stoves, dryers, water heaters, etc.)
  • You will be adding an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) to your property

What Type of Electrical Panel Do I Need for My Home in Carlsbad or Encinitas?

If you’re not sure what type of system you need, an electrician from Ms. Sparky can do a load calculation to ensure that your new system will support your home’s electrical usage.

Sometimes, adding a single circuit or two is adequate and can be installed to the existing service without a total upgrade. When this is the case, we won’t try to upsell you on a full panel replacement. However, when a total electrical panel upgrade is necessary, we always install a solar-rated panel that will be able to accommodate solar panels, should you choose to install them in the future.

California Laws Make Panel Upgrades Necessary

In recent years, the California legislature has passed multiple laws that are meant to encourage residents to move from gas-powered vehicles and appliances to electric ones. There are also incentives for California homeowners to install solar panels. If your home is not currently equipped to handle the increased power usage that these types of changes will require, you should consider upgrading your electrical panel now. At the very least, a panel upgrade will add value to your home when it comes time to sell it. Savvy home buyers appreciate this type of upgrade and will often pay extra for it.

Electrical Panel Upgrades for Businesses in Carlsbad and Encinitas

Ms. Sparky Electric isn’t just a residential electrician. We can provide electrical services, including electrical panel upgrades, for businesses in North County as well. If you own a commercial property that you think may need a panel upgrade, contact us for an assessment of your current panel.

    I just wanted to tell you how delighted I was yesterday with Jeremy and his work on my touch plate lights.  He was able to diagnose the problem even with some mis marked stuff in the touch plate box, and he got everything working perfect again.  Jeremy was punctual, professional and he had a lot of good ideas as I move forward on my house. I inherited the house I grew up in, I have my daughter living there right now, but she is building a house closer to work, and she will be moving out in the summer.  I won't be doing any of the HGTV insane rip out walls and add rooms stuff to it, but I do need to move the plumbing, electrical and windows into the 21st century.  As I have started doing research on contractors, you were on my short list for electricians just because you are local and have such an awesome Yelp score. Jeremy was a perfect advertisement for your company, and I look forward to working with you to help me figure out what I can and can't do as I start re-doing my house on Hillcrest Dr. Thanks again for your great service

    Mary was a consummate professional-not only does she do excellent work, she has an eye for design and placement.  Best of all, she cleans up really well, every day!  She was always on time, prepared and eager to get started.  When I do my bathrooms, Ms Sparky has the job.

    Ms Sparky did some electrical upgrades at my home.  Mary pulled all the permits, did the work in a professional manner, and always left the worksite clean at the end of the day.  Since Mary is very knowledgeable and trustworthy I would definitely use her services again.  Moreover, I also recommend her to my friends and colleagues.

    Having known Mary for many years, I knew exactly who to call when it was time to outfit my shop with electrical for tools, equipment, air handlers, additional circuits, lighting and 220V. I was confident that Mary and her team would be able to handle all my needs. She discussed my goals and shop layout and was able to deliver exactly what I was hoping for. Everything is to code, the conduit is clean and attractive and everything works great, no hiccups. In addition to her proficiency and professionalism, Mary is also just a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her!
