San Jacinto has character that sets it apart—from the historic downtown that remembers the valley's agricultural roots to the hillside properties with mountain views, from Valle Vista's rural charm to the established neighborhoods near San Jacinto High School. Since 2006, Summit Electric has been the trusted electrician for San Jacinto homeowners who value honest work, fair pricing, and electrical contractors who understand both small-town living and modern electrical needs.
We know San Jacinto. We understand that many properties here have acreage rather than typical suburban lots, that agricultural electrical needs differ from standard residential work, and that distance from major utility infrastructure sometimes creates unique challenges. Whether you're in downtown San Jacinto, Valle Vista, Soboba, or the mountain communities, we provide reliable electrical service tailored to your property's specific requirements.
From panel upgrades that support well pumps and agricultural equipment to generator installations essential for properties distant from emergency services, from barn and outbuilding electrical to landscape lighting for large properties—we're the electrical contractor San Jacinto residents trust for work done right the first time.
Call (951) 550-4832 for honest electrical service throughout San Jacinto and the valley.
We Understand Rural & Agricultural Electrical Needs. San Jacinto isn't cookie-cutter suburbia. Many properties here have acreage, agricultural operations, horse facilities, or simply more space than typical tract homes. These properties have electrical needs that suburban-focused electricians might not fully understand.
We've worked on hundreds of San Jacinto properties with unique requirements—well pump electrical systems, irrigation pump controls, barn and stable electrical, shop and workshop circuits for tools and equipment, long runs to outbuildings requiring proper wire sizing and voltage drop calculations, agricultural equipment circuits, and outdoor electrical for large properties.
We understand the electrical demands of rural living. Well pumps draw significant starting current and need proper circuit protection. Irrigation systems require controls that handle pump loads reliably. Barns and workshops need adequate lighting and outlets for tools. Large properties need electrical planning that accounts for distance and voltage drop.
Whether you're running a small agricultural operation, keeping horses, or simply enjoying space and privacy on acreage, we provide electrical solutions appropriate for your property.
San Jacinto covers diverse geography—from downtown and established neighborhoods to Valle Vista's rural character to hillside properties with mountain views to Soboba and surrounding areas. We serve the entire valley and maintain reasonable response times despite the area's spread-out character.
For electrical emergencies—power failures, electrical problems affecting well water access, barn electrical issues, equipment failures—we typically arrive within 75-90 minutes anywhere in San Jacinto Valley. We understand that rural properties sometimes have electrical emergencies that urban electricians might not encounter, and we're equipped to handle them.
We serve all San Jacinto areas: downtown San Jacinto, Valle Vista, Soboba, Seven Hills, mountain communities, and surrounding valley properties. If you're in the 92582, 92583, or surrounding areas, we provide professional electrical service.
Properties distant from town centers or in hillside areas sometimes experience longer power restoration times during outages than properties on main utility routes. For homes relying on well pumps for water, properties with livestock requiring water and ventilation, or simply for comfort and security, backup generators aren't luxuries—they're practical necessities.
We install standby generators sized appropriately for San Jacinto properties, including agricultural needs, well pump automatic operation, barn and animal facility power, and whole-house backup for residential comfort and safety. We handle natural gas or propane connections, automatic transfer switches, proper sizing for your loads, and permits and inspections.
For properties with propane, we coordinate tank sizing to ensure adequate fuel capacity for extended generator operation. We position generators appropriately for property layout, security, and noise considerations.
San Jacinto residents value straight talk and honest pricing. We provide exactly that. When we quote electrical work, the price includes everything—labor, materials, permits, travel, everything. No surprise fees, no last-minute upsells, no pressure tactics. The price we quote is the price you pay unless you ask us to do additional work beyond the original scope.
We understand San Jacinto's working-class character and agricultural economy. We provide quality electrical work at fair prices. We don't inflate quotes for rural properties, we don't charge extra for "travel" within our service area, and we don't take advantage of properties distant from alternative service providers. We built our reputation on honest work and fair dealing, and that's what you'll receive.
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. We've pulled hundreds of permits through Riverside County Building & Safety (San Jacinto's building department) and understand the specific requirements for San Jacinto properties.
Electrical work requiring permits—panel upgrades, outbuilding electrical, agricultural electrical installations, generator installations, major remodels—gets handled properly through the county. We prepare applications, submit them, pay fees (included in quotes), schedule inspections, and ensure final approval. You don't need to navigate county processes—we manage everything.
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 rapidly in Murrieta's eco-conscious communities. If you drive a Tesla, Rivian, Ford Lightning, Chevy Bolt, or any EV, home charging is essential—it's more convenient than public stations and costs significantly less per charge. We install all major EV charger brands, including Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint Home, JuiceBox, Wallbox, and Grizzl-E. Our installation service includes electrical capacity assessment to ensure your panel can handle the load, permit application and approval with the city, proper 240-volt circuit installation (40-60 amp depending on your vehicle and needs), professional charger mounting and connection, and final inspection. We also help you understand available incentives—federal tax credits up to $1,000, California Clean Vehicle Rebate Project, and potential SCE utility rebates. Many Murrieta residents reduce their installation costs by 30-40% through these programs

Many San Jacinto homes and properties have outdated electrical panels inadequate for modern demands. Homes with well pumps, workshops with tools and equipment, agricultural operations, and simply modern residential loads often exceed capacity of older 100-amp panels. Upgrading to 200-amp service provides capacity for all your needs plus room for future expansion.Our panel upgrades include proper sizing for your specific loads, consideration of well pump starting currents, adequate circuits for shops and outbuildings, and capacity for future additions. We handle permits through Riverside County and coordinate inspections.

Many San Jacinto properties benefit substantially from backup generators—properties on well water, agricultural operations with livestock, homes distant from town centers, and properties in hillside areas. Generators keep well pumps operating during outages, provide power for barn ventilation and water for animals, maintain home comfort and food refrigeration, and support home offices and security systems.We install standby generators sized for your property's needs, connected to natural gas or propane, configured with automatic transfer switches, and permitted properly. We help you determine appropriate sizing based on your actual requirements, not oversized units that cost more than necessary.

Properties relying on wells for water face serious problems when pump electrical systems fail. Common issues include incorrect circuit sizing causing nuisance tripping, deteriorated wire insulation from underground exposure, lightning damage to pump controls and motors, failed pump control switches and pressure switches, and undersized panels inadequate for pump starting current.
Well pumps draw substantial starting current—often 3-4 times their running current. Circuits must be sized appropriately, and panels must have capacity to handle this momentary high demand without affecting other circuits. We size well pump circuits properly and ensure your panel can support reliable operation.
Running electrical service 100, 200, or more feet to barns, workshops, or outbuildings creates voltage drop challenges. Standard wire sizing adequate for short runs causes excessive voltage drop over distance, resulting in lights that dim, motors that struggle or overheat, and equipment that doesn't operate properly.
We calculate voltage drop for your specific distances and loads, upsize wire appropriately to maintain proper voltage at destination, and verify adequate voltage at panels and outlets. Proper wire sizing costs more upfront but prevents problems and equipment damage from low voltage.
San Jacinto has many older homes and properties with electrical systems from the 1960s-80s. These systems often have undersized panels (60-100 amps), aluminum wiring requiring special handling, outdated outlets lacking GFCI protection in kitchens and bathrooms, insufficient circuits for modern loads, and deteriorated insulation and connections from age.
We upgrade older electrical systems comprehensively—panel replacements with adequate capacity, aluminum wiring remediation where present, GFCI outlets in required locations, additional circuits for modern demands, and complete inspection of connections and components. Upgrading prevents fires and ensures safe, reliable operation.
Agricultural operations have specialized electrical needs that standard residential electrical doesn't address. Equipment requiring three-phase power, high-starting-current motors for pumps and machinery, outdoor electrical exposed to weather and dust, and intermittent high loads all create challenges requiring agricultural electrical expertise.
We've worked with numerous San Jacinto agricultural operations, providing appropriate electrical solutions—three-phase service when needed, properly sized circuits for equipment, weatherproof installations in agricultural environments, and planning that accommodates operational requirements.
Some San Jacinto properties are distant from main utility lines, creating challenges for electrical service. Long service runs from utility poles, voltage drop from the utility transformer to the property, and sometimes undersized utility service for property needs all require attention.
We work with Southern California Edison to ensure adequate utility service to properties, coordinate service upgrades when necessary, and design property electrical systems that work within utility limitations. Sometimes this means oversizing internal wiring to compensate for voltage drop from distant utility connections.
We're familiar with all San Jacinto areas and their specific characteristics:
No matter where you're located in the 92582, 92583, or surrounding valley areas, we provide electrical service appropriate for your property type.
San Jacinto electrical permits are handled through Riverside County Building & Safety. Permits are required for panel upgrades, new circuits, outbuilding electrical, agricultural installations, generator installations, and major remodels.
County inspectors cover large territories and schedule efficiently. Our experience with county processes ensures your project proceeds smoothly without delays.
For panel upgrades, new service installations, and sometimes agricultural electrical, we coordinate with SCE for meter service. We manage SCE relationships, including scheduling disconnects, completing work during disconnect periods, requesting reconnection, and coordinating service upgrades when necessary for property needs.
Distance from town doesn't mean you should accept substandard electrical work. Rural and agricultural properties often have more complex electrical needs than standard residential, and the work requires specialized knowledge. We don't treat San Jacinto properties as "simple" jobs—we bring the same professionalism and expertise to every project regardless of location.
Electrical problems on rural properties can affect not just homes but also livestock, agricultural operations, and water access. We understand these stakes, and we don't compromise on safety. Proper electrical work protects people, animals, and livelihoods.
Unpermitted electrical work creates problems when selling property. County records showing permitted electrical work protect your property value and demonstrate work was done legally and professionally. We handle all permits to protect your investment.
