Panel upgrades first, then recessed lighting, kitchens & remodels and repairs — every piece here is work Licata Electric does. Tap one for the details, or call and describe what you’ve got.

No. 01

Electrical Panel Upgrades

The main focus. A new main service panel with room for the kitchen, the EV charger or the heat pump — and the City and SDG&E side handled.

See it → No. 02

Recessed Lighting

Can lights, pot lights, recessed cans — whatever you call them, laid out and installed with dimmers that work.

See it → No. 03

Kitchen & Remodel Electrical

Kitchens, remodels and additions — new circuits, appliance power, outlets where the new layout needs them and the lighting on top.

See it → No. 04

Electrical Repairs

Breakers that trip, outlets that quit, lights that flicker — found, fixed and done clean.

See it → No. 05

Lighting & Landscape

Pendants, under-cabinet light, exterior and landscape lighting — the lighting beyond the cans.

See it → No. 06

Residential

Homes wired right — new circuits, outlets, remodel wiring and the stuff the last guy got wrong.

See it → No. 07

Commercial

Restaurants, offices and storefronts — tenant improvements and lighting that works for business.

See it → No. 08

EV Charging

Home and business EV chargers, installed with the circuit and panel capacity to back them up.

See it → No. 09

Solar & Storage

Battery backup and solar electrical — so the lights stay on when the grid doesn’t.

From the feed

One circuit to six.

A 1955 kitchen, in James’s own words from @licataelectricinc. This is the kind of remodel work that ends up on the wall.

Six circuits where there used to be one
New induction cooktop and oven
Receptacles hidden under the cabinets for a clean backsplash
Low-voltage dim-controlled lighting through the house

licataelectricincInstagram · November 22, 2022

“This was a fun remodel, the homeowner left it up to us to handle their lighting design. This 1955 home previously only had 1 circuit supplying their kitchen. They now have 6 circuits and a new electric induction cooktop/oven. NO MORE BREAKERS TRIPPING! All receptacles are hidden under the cabinetry to get that clean looking backsplash. Commercial low-voltage dim controlled lighting was installed throughout the house and you can really tell the difference in the dimming capability. The 45 degree tape light channel for the under cabinet lighting helps illuminates the whole countertop.”

The shop

The logo’s not a clip-art bolt.

Licata Electric, Inc. is James Licata’s shop in San Diego, in business since March 2020 — and the Frankenstein skeleton gripping two live wires is the whole attitude: respect the power, do the work right, and have a little fun with it. It’s on the hoodies too.
