What we typically see in Del Mar

Del Mar housing varies widely. Older beach houses from the 1950s-1970s have aged systems where original wiring is sometimes still in service. Custom homes from various eras have whatever the original architect specified. Newer luxury construction has modern wiring with extensive smart-home and high-end lighting integration. Salt air corrodes outdoor terminations.
