About
Operating in San Diego since 2006, Smith Electrical Contractors, Inc. brings nearly 20 years of licensed electrical experience to commercial clients across San Diego County. The firm's core competency is electrical panelboard and service upgrades — a high-demand need for retail centers, multifamily properties, and mixed-use buildings transitioning to higher electrical loads driven by EV charging infrastructure and modern tenant equipment. Smith handles the full panelboard upgrade lifecycle: permitting, SDGE utility coordination, new grounding per NEC code, breaker labeling, stucco repair, and final inspection sign-off — reducing administrative burden for property managers and facility directors who need a single accountable contractor. For commercial properties adding EV charging stations, Smith is a Tesla-recommended installer certified to deploy Tesla Wall Connectors alongside other Level 2 EVSE solutions. This positions the firm well for office parking structures, retail lots, and multifamily common areas pursuing EV-ready compliance or tenant amenity upgrades. The contractor also holds Tesla Powerwall certification, offering battery backup and backup power subpanel installations relevant to retail and light commercial facilities seeking resilience against SDG&E outages. Solar PV design and installation is handled under the Smith Solar division, providing commercial-leaning customers a path toward on-site generation to offset utility costs. General commercial electrical scope includes lighting system installations, exterior and site lighting, signage, remodels, new construction rough-in, and troubleshooting across office, warehouse, and retail environments. Facility managers in San Diego County evaluating Smith Electrical Contractors can expect a locally owned firm with established utility relationships, a fully stocked service fleet, and documented experience navigating San Diego permitting processes — practical advantages when managing electrical upgrades across income-producing properties.
