Comprehensive Electrical Services in Temecula & Murrieta, CA
Lock and Alert Electrical offers a complete range of residential and commercial electrical services for customers in Temecula, Murrieta, and surrounding areas. Our licensed electricians stay current with the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements and emerging technologies to deliver safe, efficient, and long-lasting solutions for every project.
Electrical Panel Upgrades & Breaker Box Replacement
Your electrical panel is the heart of your home’s power system. Older panels — especially Federal Pacific StabLok, Zinsco, Pushmatic, and fuse box models — are known safety hazards that can cause electrical fires and fail to trip during overloads. If your home still runs on a 60-amp or 100-amp panel, it likely cannot support today’s demands including air conditioning, electric ranges, EV chargers, and home offices.
We specialize in 100A to 200A panel upgrades, 200A to 400A upgrades for larger homes, sub-panel installations for workshops, garages, and ADUs, and complete breaker box replacements. All permit applications, city inspections, and utility coordination (SCE / SDG&E) are handled for you.
Warning signs you need an upgrade: frequent breaker trips, flickering or dimming lights, burning smell near the panel, warm or discolored breakers, reliance on extension cords, or plans to add an EV charger, hot tub, or workshop equipment.
EV Charger Installation — Level 2 Home & Commercial Charging
Lock and Alert Electrical provides professional Level 2 (240V) EV charger installation for all major brands: Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint Home Flex, JuiceBox, ClipperCreek, Enel X JuicePole, Grizzl-E, Emporia, and Wallbox Pulsar Plus.
Our services include: electrical load calculations, dedicated 240V / 50-amp circuit installation, conduit runs from panel to garage or carport, panel upgrades when needed, NEMA 14-50 outlet installation for portable chargers, city permits, and assistance with California rebates and federal EV tax credits.
We also install commercial EV charging stations for apartment complexes, condo HOAs, office buildings, retail locations, restaurants, hotels, and fleet depots throughout Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee, and the Inland Empire.
Whole-House Rewiring & Electrical Repair
Homes built before the 1980s may contain hazardous wiring that poses serious fire risks. Knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch circuit wiring, cloth-wrapped wiring, and undersized conductors are common findings in older Temecula and Murrieta properties.
We provide complete whole-house rewiring, partial rewiring, aluminum wiring remediation (COPALUM or AlumiConn connectors), knob-and-tube replacement, grounding upgrades, and installation of GFCI outlets (kitchens, bathrooms, garages, outdoor), AFCI breakers (bedrooms, living areas), and tamper-resistant receptacles.
We also handle everyday electrical repairs: dead outlets, flickering lights, tripping breakers, buzzing switches, warm cover plates, sparking receptacles, and intermittent power loss. Our Lock and Alert Electrical technicians perform thorough electrical troubleshooting to find root causes — not just symptoms.
Interior & Exterior Lighting Design and Installation
Lighting transforms the look, feel, safety, and energy efficiency of any property. We install recessed lighting (can lights), pendant lights, chandeliers, track lighting, under-cabinet kitchen lighting, vanity lighting, LED retrofits, dimmer switches, and smart lighting controls (Lutron Caseta, Leviton Decora Smart, Philips Hue).
Exterior and landscape lighting: security floodlights, motion-sensor lights, pathway illumination, deck and patio lighting, pool lighting, accent uplighting, driveway lighting, and commercial parking lot lighting. We also install and replace ceiling fans with or without integrated lighting.
Smart Home Automation & Whole-Home Technology
Transform your home with smart thermostats (Nest, ecobee, Honeywell), video doorbells (Ring, Nest, Arlo), security cameras, smart locks, smart lighting, motorized shades, whole-home audio (Sonos, in-wall speakers), and comprehensive alarm and security systems.
We handle all low-voltage wiring, structured cabling (Cat6/Cat6a Ethernet, coaxial, HDMI), dedicated circuits for media rooms, and network infrastructure. Compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, and Control4.
Standby Generator Installation & Backup Power
Power outages from PSPS events, Santa Ana winds, summer heat waves, and aging infrastructure can leave your home without power for hours or days. A whole-house standby generator restores power automatically within seconds.
We install generators from Generac, Kohler, Cummins, Briggs & Stratton, and Champion. Full-service installation includes load sizing, concrete pad, automatic transfer switch (ATS), gas line coordination, city permits, and maintenance plans. We also install portable generator hookups (manual transfer switches and inlet boxes).

Call (951) 294-4321 immediately for any electrical emergency.
Whole-House Surge Protection
Power surges from lightning, grid fluctuations, and appliance cycling can destroy electronics and appliances. A whole-house surge protector at your main panel protects everything — TVs, computers, smart devices, refrigerators, HVAC, and more.
We install SPDs from Eaton, Siemens, Square D, and Leviton, plus point-of-use protection for home theaters, server rooms, and medical devices. Especially important for homes with generators and solar systems.
Electrical Inspections & Safety Evaluations
Professional electrical inspections for homebuyers, sellers, property managers, and insurance companies. We cover: panel condition and capacity, wiring type, grounding and bonding, GFCI/AFCI protection, outlets, switches, smoke/CO detectors, and NEC code compliance.
You receive a detailed written report with findings, recommendations, and prioritized repair options from Lock and Alert Electrical.
Dedicated Circuit Installation & Outlet Additions
We install dedicated 120V and 240V circuits for: home offices, hot tubs and spas, EV chargers, electric ranges, HVAC systems, workshops (table saws, welders, compressors), home theaters, server racks, and medical equipment.
We add outlets anywhere you need them — including GFCI outlets for wet locations, USB outlets, and 240V outlets (NEMA 14-30, 14-50, 6-50) for dryers, ranges, and welders.
Smoke Detector, CO Detector & Fire Safety
California law requires working smoke detectors in every bedroom and on every floor, plus carbon monoxide detectors in homes with fuel-burning appliances. We install, replace, and upgrade hardwired, interconnected smoke and CO detectors for full code compliance.
We replace outdated battery-only units with modern hardwired detectors with battery backup, install combination smoke/CO units, and ensure proper interconnection. Also available for rental property compliance.
Pool, Spa & Hot Tub Electrical Wiring
Pool and spa electrical work requires specialized knowledge of NEC Article 680 covering bonding, grounding, GFCI protection, and clearance distances. We provide code-compliant installations for new pools, pool pumps and motors, pool heaters, pool lighting, hot tub hookups (50-amp 240V), automated pool controls, and pool equipment sub-panels.
Solar Panel Electrical Connections & Battery Storage
We provide the essential electrical work supporting solar installations: panel upgrades for inverter connections, solar-ready sub-panels, meter base upgrades, battery storage wiring (Tesla Powerwall, Enphase IQ, Generac PWRcell, FranklinWH), and critical loads sub-panels for battery prioritization.
Outdoor Electrical & Landscape Lighting
Weatherproof outdoor outlets, outdoor kitchen and BBQ island hookups, patio and pergola lighting, string light installations, outdoor ceiling fans, electric gate circuits, and complete landscape lighting systems — pathway lights, well lights, spotlights, step lights, and bollards using energy-efficient low-voltage LED technology.
Structured Cabling, Data Wiring & Low-Voltage

How do I know if my home needs an electrical panel upgrade?
Warning signs: frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, burning smell near the panel, warm breakers, a fuse box instead of breakers, a Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or Pushmatic panel, 60- or 100-amp service, reliance on extension cords, or plans to add an EV charger, hot tub, solar, or major appliances. Lock and Alert Electrical offers free panel inspections.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. We provide free, no-obligation on-site estimates for all scheduled electrical work. Our Lock and Alert Electrical technician evaluates the project, answers your questions, and gives you a detailed written quote with no hidden fees.
Is aluminum wiring in my home dangerous?
Aluminum branch circuit wiring (1960s–1970s homes) is a recognized fire hazard due to oxidation and loose connections. We provide aluminum wiring remediation using approved COPALUM or AlumiConn connectors at every connection point, or complete copper rewiring for the most thorough solution.
Can you install a dedicated circuit for my hot tub, office, or workshop?
Yes. We install dedicated 120V and 240V circuits for hot tubs, spas, home offices, workshops, EV chargers, electric ranges, HVAC, sump pumps, servers, and medical equipment. Dedicated circuits prevent overloading and eliminate nuisance breaker trips.
How much does EV charger installation cost at home?
A Level 2 home EV charger installation typically costs $500–$2,500 (not including the charger unit) depending on panel capacity, distance from panel to garage, and whether a panel upgrade is needed. California utility rebates and federal tax credits can significantly reduce your cost.
Do you provide electrical inspections for home purchases?
