Menifee is California's success story—incorporated in 2008, it's one of the state's newest cities and one of its fastest-growing communities. Since 2006, Summit Electric has been serving Menifee residents through this remarkable transformation, providing reliable electrical services for homes ranging from established Sun City properties to brand-new developments in Audie Murphy Ranch and everywhere in between.
We understand Menifee's unique character. This isn't just another suburban sprawl—it's a community that blends active retirement living in Sun City with young families in newer developments, creating diverse electrical needs that span multiple generations. Whether you need accessibility-focused electrical solutions for aging-in-place, solar panel integration for energy independence, or modern smart home wiring for tech-savvy homeowners, we bring the expertise Menifee properties require.
From the established neighborhoods around Sun City to the newest communities still under construction, we serve every corner of Menifee with the same commitment to quality, safety, and honest service. When you call Summit Electric, you're getting licensed electricians who treat your home with respect and do the job right the first time.
Call (951) 550-4832 for professional electrical service throughout Menifee.
We've Served Menifee Through Its Remarkable Growth. We started serving this area before Menifee even became a city. When the communities of Sun City, Quail Valley, and Romoland voted to incorporate in 2008, we were already working in the area. We've watched Menifee grow from three separate communities into one of California's fastest-growing cities, and we've provided electrical services throughout this transformation.
This history matters because we understand Menifee's diverse housing stock. Sun City homes built in the 1960s-80s have different electrical needs than homes in Paloma Del Sol built in the 2000s or the newest construction in Audie Murphy Ranch. We've worked on all of them, and we know exactly what each era of Menifee construction requires.
Our experience means we can assess your home quickly, identify common issues for your neighborhood and home age, and recommend appropriate solutions. We don't need to guess—we've probably worked on dozens of homes just like yours.
Menifee's demographics are uniquely diverse. Sun City remains one of California's premier active adult communities for residents 55+, while newer areas attract young families and first-time homeowners. This creates electrical needs that span multiple generations, and we're equipped to serve all of them.
For Sun City and other mature communities, we understand accessibility considerations—light switches at appropriate heights, adequate lighting to prevent falls, backup power for medical equipment, easy-to-use controls for arthritis-affected hands, and electrical systems that support aging-in-place modifications. We've completed hundreds of electrical projects in Sun City with sensitivity to the unique needs of older adults.
For younger families in newer Menifee neighborhoods, we focus on different priorities—panel capacity for growing electrical demands, EV charger installations, smart home integration, outdoor living space electrical, and child safety features like tamper-resistant outlets and GFCI protection.
Whatever your age or stage of life, we provide electrical solutions tailored to your specific needs.
Menifee has one of the highest solar panel adoption rates in Riverside County. The combination of abundant sunshine, environmental consciousness, and desire for energy independence makes solar extremely popular here. We work regularly with solar installation companies to provide the electrical integration these systems require.
Solar panel systems need proper electrical integration, including panel upgrades to accommodate solar input, proper disconnect switches and safety equipment, electrical connections from panels to inverters to your home, net metering setup coordination with Southern California Edison, and backup battery system integration (like Tesla Powerwall).
We don't install solar panels ourselves, but we provide the critical electrical work that makes solar systems function safely and efficiently. If you're considering solar for your Menifee home, or if you have solar and need electrical work, we have the expertise to integrate everything properly.
Menifee covers approximately 47 square miles from Sun City in the northwest to Heritage Lake in the southeast. Despite this size, we maintain quick response times throughout the entire city because we serve the Inland Empire strategically and keep our service area well-positioned.
For electrical emergencies—power failures, sparking outlets, burning smells, tripped breakers that won't reset—we typically arrive within 60-75 minutes anywhere in Menifee. We keep electricians available 24/7 because electrical problems don't respect schedules, and emergencies often happen at the worst possible times.
We serve every Menifee neighborhood: Sun City, Paloma Del Sol, Audie Murphy Ranch, Heritage Lake, Quail Valley, Romoland, and all developing areas. If you're in the 92584, 92585, or 92586 zip codes, we're your local electrical contractor.
Every electrician on our team holds a valid California C-10 electrical contractor license. We're fully insured with comprehensive liability and workers' compensation coverage. More importantly, we've pulled hundreds of permits through the City of Menifee Community Development Department, and we understand Menifee's specific requirements.
Menifee requires electrical permits for panel upgrades, circuit additions, solar electrical integration, EV charger installations, major remodels, and generator installations. We handle the complete permit process—application preparation and submission, fee payment (included in quotes), plan review coordination, inspection scheduling, and final approval. You don't need to visit City Hall or navigate bureaucratic processes. We manage everything professionally.
Highly recommended by us! We used Summit for our EV Charger upgrade and installing a subpanel for some outdoor upgrades at our place in Idyllwild. Matt is very responsive and got us quotes and a plan quickly. The work was great and we will use him again for our future electrical work.

Electric vehicle ownership is growing throughout Menifee. Home charging is essential—it's more convenient and significantly cheaper than public charging. We install all major EV charger brands including Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint Home, JuiceBox, and Wallbox.Our installation includes electrical capacity assessment, permit filing with the city, proper 240-volt circuit installation, professional charger mounting and wiring, and final inspection. We help you understand available incentives—federal tax credits, California rebates, and SCE utility programs.

Many Menifee homes—particularly in Sun City and older neighborhoods—have outdated electrical panels that can't support modern demands. If your home has 100-amp service or an obsolete panel brand (Federal Pacific, Zinsco), upgrading to modern 200-amp service improves safety and provides capacity for solar systems, EV chargers, modern appliances, and future needs. Our upgrade process includes comprehensive load assessment, permit filing with the City of Menifee, coordination with SCE for meter service, professional installation with modern components, proper labeling for convenience, and final city inspection. Most upgrades are complete in one day.

Proper lighting improves safety, functionality, and home appearance. We install recessed lighting for modern aesthetics, LED conversions for energy efficiency, landscape and security lighting, motion sensor lights for safety, outdoor entertainment area lighting, and smart lighting systems. LED technology saves money on your SCE electric bill while providing excellent illumination.

Power outages in Menifee are rare but can occur during high winds or extreme heat. For homes with medical equipment, home offices, or simply for peace of mind, backup generators provide automatic power within seconds of an outage. We install Generac, Kohler, and Cummins standby generators with automatic transfer switches, complete with natural gas or propane connection, electrical integration, permits, and inspection.

Sun City homes built in the 1960s-80s typically have 100-amp electrical service that was adequate when built but struggles with modern demands. These homes now have central air conditioning running constantly during summer, updated kitchen appliances, medical equipment, and often solar panel systems—all demanding far more power than original electrical systems were designed to provide.
Signs your Menifee home needs a panel upgrade:
We complete panel upgrades in Sun City and other established Menifee neighborhoods regularly. The upgrade improves safety, supports modern needs, and often satisfies insurance requirements.
Many Menifee homeowners install solar panels to reduce electricity costs and increase energy independence. However, solar systems require electrical panel capacity to handle power flowing both to and from your home. Older panels often lack this capacity.
Solar electrical integration typically requires:
We work with solar installers to ensure your electrical system can support solar safely and efficiently. Sometimes this means a panel upgrade before solar installation; sometimes it's integrated work—we coordinate everything properly.
Many Sun City and other Menifee residents rely on medical equipment—CPAP machines, oxygen concentrators, mobility devices, refrigerated medications. Power reliability is critical. We provide solutions including dedicated circuits for medical equipment, whole-house surge protection, backup generator systems for automatic power during outages, and electrical system inspections to prevent failures.
Sun City homes and other older Menifee properties sometimes have electrical systems that create accessibility challenges for aging residents—light switches too high or low for wheelchair users, inadequate lighting creating fall hazards, outlets in difficult-to-reach locations, and complex electrical controls difficult for arthritis-affected hands.
We modify electrical systems to improve accessibility while respecting the home's character. This might include relocating switches and outlets, adding task lighting in critical areas, installing motion-sensor lights for automatic illumination, and integrating smart home controls that work via voice commands or simple smartphone apps.
Newer Menifee neighborhoods—Audie Murphy Ranch, newer sections of Heritage Lake, and other developing areas—have modern electrical systems but homeowners quickly add demands the builder didn't anticipate. Home offices with substantial equipment, EV chargers, outdoor living spaces with full kitchens, and smart home systems all require electrical capacity beyond basic builder installations.
We help new homeowners plan electrical additions properly—ensuring adequate capacity, proper permits, and safe installations that don't compromise the home's electrical system.
We're familiar with every Menifee neighborhood and the specific characteristics of each area
No matter where you live in the 92584, 92585, or 92586 zip codes, we provide professional electrical service with expertise in Menifee's diverse communities.
The City of Menifee requires electrical permits for most work beyond basic repairs—panel upgrades, circuit additions, solar electrical integration, EV charger installations, major remodels, and generator installations.
We handle the complete permit process:
Menifee's building department is professional and enforces California Electrical Code thoroughly. Our experience ensures your project proceeds smoothly without delays.
For panel upgrades and solar integration, we coordinate with SCE for meter disconnection/reconnection and net metering setup. We manage all SCE relationships, including scheduling, completing work during disconnect periods, requesting reconnection, and coordinating service upgrades when necessary.
We work regularly with solar installation companies serving Menifee. We coordinate electrical work to ensure seamless integration—proper timing of panel upgrades, electrical connections meeting all codes, inspection coordination, and final system commissioning. Your solar system works properly because the electrical foundation is correct.
Electrical work done incorrectly creates fire hazards, electrocution risks, and equipment damage. We've seen results of DIY work and unlicensed installations—dangerous conditions hidden in walls that could cause fires, improper connections creating shock hazards, and systems that fail when needed most.
Every electrician on our team has extensive training and experience. We follow California Electrical Code exactly, use proper materials, test thoroughly, and stand behind our work with warranties. When Summit Electric completes electrical work in your Menifee home, you can trust it's safe.
Unpermitted electrical work creates problems when selling your home. Buyers discover unpermitted work during inspections, demand corrections or price reductions, or walk away entirely. We pull permits for all work requiring them, protecting your investment and providing documentation that work was done legally and passed inspection.
Menifee residents value quality, honesty, and professionalism. We share these values. We don't cut corners, use substandard materials, or rush jobs for profit. We take pride in electrical work that meets the standards Menifee homeowners expect and deserve.
