Permits

Permits and inspections

Not every job requires a permit. When the local AHJ requires one, we pull it, schedule the inspection, and stay with the job until it passes. No paperwork on you.

Warranty

What's covered

Written warranty: 5-year on outlets, fixtures, and EV chargers; 10-year on wire and breakers; lifetime on panelboxes and surge protection. Parts and labor. Transfers with the home.

05 - WHO TO HIRE

Why hiring a licensed electrician matters.

For general electrical repairs, here's the honest comparison. We'd tell you the same thing if we weren't trying to win the job.

Keil Electric

A licensed electrician

Licensed electrician walks every job. Veteran-owned, family-run.

Permits pulled and inspections coordinated when required by the AHJ

5/10-year + lifetime warranty in writing. Parts and labor. Transfers with the home.

Fully insured + workers' comp on every crew

The price you sign is the price you pay

A handyman

Unlicensed for electrical

No state electrical license. Can do simple swaps but not panel work, rewires, or service upgrades.

No permits. Work won't pass inspection if the city audits it later.

No structured warranty. "Call me if something breaks" isn't enforceable.

If something they did causes a fire, your homeowner's insurance can deny the claim.

Cash discount may show up on the invoice.

DIY

Doing it yourself

Cheap, but only if everything goes right. Most electrical work involves load calc, code, and permitting.

A failed inspection means redoing the work. Selling the home later, the buyer's inspector flags it.

No warranty if something fails. Replacement is on you.

Live wiring is a real safety hazard. Most fatal home electrical accidents are DIY.

If you know what you're doing, fine. If you don't, call us first.

How general electrical repairs typically runs in El Cajon

Most general repairs complete in 2-4 hours including the test step. When the diagnostic reveals a panel issue, a circuit-wide failure, or a code-compliance gap, we tell you in writing which scope applies before any work begins.

Permits and code in California

San Diego County cities follow the California Electrical Code (CEC, based on NEC with state amendments) plus Title 24 Part 6 for energy compliance on lighting and other regulated loads. Permits run through the local AHJ, the city of San Diego, the county for unincorporated areas, or the relevant municipality. We pull the permit when required, walk any inspector, and document the close-out so future work has a clean paper trail.

Common questions for General Electrical Repairs in El Cajon

How much do general electrical repairs cost?

Most single-issue repairs are quoted in the small-job range. The cost includes the diagnostic, the repair, and the test. We quote in writing on site.

Will you do small jobs?

Yes. We do single-outlet repairs, switch replacements, and other small-scope work regularly. Many of our long-term customers started with a small repair.

Can I describe the issue over the phone?

Yes, and the description helps us bring the right parts. The actual diagnostic happens on site because we cannot test the circuit through the phone.

Do you offer estimates over the phone?

For most repair work, no. We need to test on site before committing to a fixed price. Some routine work (like a known-failed-fixture replacement) can be ballparked over the phone.
