Ochoa Electric · Chula Vista, CA
Need a veteran-owned electrician in Chula Vista who answers the phone? Ochoa Electric is a short drive down the road in Imperial Beach and has wired, fixed and upgraded South Bay homes since 2001. Owner Edward Ochoa learned the trade in the Navy. West side bungalow or brand-new Otay Ranch build, we work on both.
West of the 805, a lot of Chula Vista was built in the 1950s and 60s. Those houses are solid, but the wiring was sized for a different century. Two-prong outlets, ungrounded circuits, a fuse box nobody has opened in years. We test what is there, ground what needs grounding and replace the runs that are past their life.
East side homes are newer, and they come with newer problems. Smart switches that drop off the Wi-Fi. Arc-fault breakers that trip every time the vacuum runs. Builder-grade fixtures that fail early. We work with current technology every day and sort out the gear other crews would rather not touch.
That includes troubleshooting, breaker swaps and new circuits for kitchens and home offices.
If you drive the 805 or I-5 north every morning, charging at home saves real time. We install Level 2 chargers in garages across Chula Vista, check that your panel can carry the load and run the circuit cleanly. Details on equipment are on our home EV charger installation page.
Most of our Chula Vista calls are everyday residential electrician jobs: ceiling fans, new outlets, GFI replacements, dead switches, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. When you call an electrician in Chula Vista for a small job, it should still get done right. A fan that wobbles over a bed is worth fixing today.
A warm breaker, a buzzing panel or a main that keeps tripping should not wait. We replace failed breakers, upgrade undersized panels and bring older service up to current code. If you are planning solar, a heat pump or an EV, we size the panel for it now so you only pay for the upgrade once. Read about our panel and service upgrades.
Plenty of Chula Vista households commute to Naval Base San Diego on 32nd Street or North Island across the bay. Edward started his electrical career in the Navy and still serves in the Reserve, so he knows what a deployment schedule does to a home repair list. We work around it.

The older storefronts along Third Avenue have seen decades of remodels, and the wiring shows it. We handle tenant improvements, lighting retrofits to LED, exterior signage circuits and parking lot lights for small businesses and offices around town.
Power out in half the house? Burning smell from an outlet? We work Monday to Friday, 8 am to 5 pm, and during those hours emergency calls often get a truck on site within the hour. If you are searching electrician near me from Chula Vista, our Imperial Beach base puts us closer than most. An electrician in Chula Vista should not take all day to show up.
Landlords and property managers keep us on speed dial for turnover repairs, tenant calls and safety checks. We coordinate access, fix it once and send clear notes on what was done. More tenants are asking for EV charging too, and we can add chargers for rental and multi-unit properties.
Chula Vista sits right in the middle of our service area. We also cover National City, Spring Valley, La Presa and Coronado. Across the city line, our San Diego licensed electricians handle work from Point Loma to the eastern neighborhoods, and our home turf is covered on the Imperial Beach electrical services page.
