Wirestate is based in Ontario, California and works across the Inland Empire, Los Angeles, and Orange County. Cities we serve regularly include Los Angeles, Anaheim, Irvine, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Riverside, and San Bernardino. If your project sits somewhere else in Southern California, call or email and we will tell you plainly whether it is in range.

A 200 amp panel upgrade in the Inland Empire typically runs about $3,500 to $8,000 all in. A simple like for like swap with no utility work lands toward the low end. Anything that touches the service mast, requires trenching, or turns into a fuller rewire pushes it higher.

A Level 2 EV charger circuit usually runs about $600 to $2,500 installed, depending on how far the charger sits from the panel and whether the panel has room for a new 40 or 50 amp circuit. If the panel is full, a subpanel or a full service upgrade comes first, and that is priced separately. We tell you which case you are in before any work starts.

Every job starts with a written estimate before any work begins, valid for 30 days from the date it is issued. If the scope changes once work is underway, it goes through a written change order. Verbal approvals are not authorized and are not billed. Estimates are based on visible and accessible conditions, so anything hidden that turns up once walls or panels are open, like damaged wiring or a code violation nobody could see beforehand, is priced and approved as a change order at that point, not folded silently into the original number.

A typical kitchen remodel electrical rough-in runs 2 to 5 working days on site, depending on scope: how many new circuits, whether the panel needs upgrading or relocating, recessed lighting count, and whether existing wiring is reused or replaced. A rough-in that also includes new dedicated circuits for the range, microwave, and refrigerator plus an island or chandelier circuit sits on the longer end of that range. Rough-in happens after demo and before drywall, so it gets scheduled around the general contractor's timeline, not the other way around.

Wirestate designs and installs smart lighting control, security camera systems, climate automation, and access control, built to actually work together instead of as separate apps that do not talk to each other. This runs through the same electrical and low voltage project management as the rest of the job, so wiring, panel capacity, and network infrastructure get planned before installation day instead of worked around after.

Yes. Backup power, generator hookups, and automatic or manual transfer switches are handled as part of electrical and low voltage project management. The right setup depends on whether you want to back up the whole house or just critical circuits like the refrigerator, a well pump, and a few outlets and lights, and that changes both the generator size and the transfer switch needed. We scope that with you before pricing it, since guessing the load wrong is the most common way this gets overpriced or undersized.

Both. Wirestate manages commercial and residential projects, from a single family panel upgrade to larger industrial electrical work like machine power circuits and production power feeds for manufacturing clients. The process is the same either way: scope defined up front, one written estimate, one accountable operator running the job and the trades on it.

Quotes for the same sounding job vary because two contractors are rarely bidding the same actual scope. A written estimate that spells out exactly what is and is not included is the only way to compare two numbers honestly. If a price sounds too good, ask what it excludes before you sign.

Hiring an electrician directly gets you one trade for one scope. If the job also touches low voltage, smart home, or general construction, you are now coordinating multiple people yourself. For a simple one trade job, either path works fine. For anything that spans multiple trades or a full remodel, one operator closes the gaps that usually cost money when nobody owns the whole job.

Design to the objective first. A camera that only needs to detect movement at the back fence is a different camera than one that has to identify a face at the front door, so we set the goal per location, then pick lens, resolution, mounting height and lighting to hit it. Coverage cones overlap so no camera has a blind spot another camera cannot see, including the cameras themselves. Every camera is hardwired PoE, recording to an NVR on the property, with the switch and recorder on a UPS so a power cut does not blind the system. Cloud backup is optional, a local recorder is not.

Electrical scope management from preconstruction through closeout: scheduling and installation sequencing, manpower planning, subcontractor and vendor coordination, material procurement and delivery timing, RFI preparation, change order documentation, and progress reporting. We have run this on commercial, industrial, healthcare, higher education, tenant improvement and residential projects, and we run the small jobs with the same system as the big ones.

Yes. Structured cabling and Ethernet, security cameras and NVRs, access control, networking and PoE, audio and video distribution, and the smart home systems that ride on that backbone. Low voltage gets planned with the line voltage work so conduit, pathways and power are in the right place before drywall, not cut in after.

All of it. 120 and 240 volt residential services, 120 and 208 volt three phase for offices and retail, and 277 and 480 volt three phase distribution for industrial buildings, warehouses and large mechanical loads. Our project manager's background is commercial and industrial distribution first, so a 480 volt switchgear coordination is familiar ground, not a stretch.

Our project manager has 15 plus years in commercial electrical construction, including field and coordination roles on a $70 million OSHPD hospital expansion in Upland (emergency power, life safety and critical distribution), a one million square foot automated cold storage distribution center in Rialto, a multi building student housing development at Pitzer College, and a ground up Costco warehouse and fuel station in San Juan Capistrano. That is the standard we bring to a kitchen remodel or a 200 amp service.

Procore for project management, Bluebeam Revu for drawings and markups, written schedules with installation sequencing, an RFI and change order log, and a weekly progress report so the owner always knows where the money and the schedule stand. Every change is a written change order before work proceeds.

A University of California, Irvine Project Management Principles and Practices certificate (completed January 2026), Procore Mastery in Construction Project Management (completed March 2026), a four year Associated Builders and Contractors electrical apprenticeship, and 15 plus years in the field on commercial and industrial electrical projects. Formal project management on top of hands on trade experience is the combination most contractors do not have.
