Brett is the electrician I send people to in San Diego. When an inspection or appraisal turns up an electrical issue, or a buyer wants a 200 amp panel so they can add an EV charger or solar, you want someone licensed who pulls the permit, shows up when he says he will and does the work right the first time. Brett has held his license since 2010, carries an A+ with the BBB, and covers most of the county. He is who I would call for my own house.

Paying for the project
This is where I come in. How my clients pay for the work, and what to know before the loan.
Fixed-rate HELOC
A panel upgrade, EV charger or solar tie-in is a natural fit for a HELOC. Draw what the job costs and leave the rate on your first mortgage alone.
See HELOC options →HELOC vs. cash-out refinance
If your first mortgage rate is close to today's, a cash-out refinance can fund the electrical work and a bigger remodel in one loan. Here is how to decide.
Read the guide →Inspection vs. appraisal
Electrical issues show up on both, and they are handled differently. Know which one can hold up your loan and which one is for your information.
