Inland Empire · Electrical Panel Upgrades & Rewiring
Electrician in San Bernardino, CA
The IE anchor city, where older homes and busy commercial sites need rewiring, code upgrades, and EV charging infrastructure.
Your owner-operated electrician in San Bernardino
Genius Electric Corp is an owner-operated, 24-hour electrician serving San Bernardino, the county seat and anchor of the Inland Empire at the foot of the San Bernardino Mountains and the gateway to Cajon Pass. A lot of the city is older housing stock — Route 66-era bungalows, mid-century tract homes, and long-standing commercial buildings along Hospitality Lane and the I-215 corridor — where original wiring, undersized panels, and worn service equipment struggle with today's loads, triple-digit summers, and Santa Ana wind events. When you call, the owner answers — he meets you at the panel, tells you plainly what he sees, and does the work with his own hands.
For San Bernardino homes and businesses we upgrade panels and service to 200 and 400 amps, rewire aging and hazardous circuits, install generators and transfer switches for outage-prone stretches, wire Level 2 EV chargers and dedicated circuits, add lighting and surge protection, and trace faults back to their root cause. Whether it's a historic home near Arrowview or Del Rosa, a foothill property up in Verdemont, or a storefront in the University District, the work is permitted and inspected. San Bernardino is Southern California Edison (SCE) territory, so we can also help you tap SCE's EV-charger rebates. The price is straight, the panel is left cleaner than we found it, and the phone reaches us at any hour — the same as it does across the rest of the Inland Empire.

EV charger rebates for San Bernardino homeowners
San Bernardino is in SCE territory, so eligible homeowners can get money back on the panel upgrade and 240-volt circuit an EV charger needs — up to $4,200 through Charge Ready Home for income-qualified households. As an approved contractor, we help you apply, then handle the permit, the paperwork, and a clean install.
Rebates are run by Southern California Edison: you apply and prequalify with them directly, and eligibility and final amounts depend on your household and electrical panel. Ask us when you call.

Who is my electric utility in San Bernardino, and can you help with EV-charger rebates?
The city of San Bernardino is served by Southern California Edison (SCE). Because you're in SCE territory, you may qualify for SCE's Charge Ready Home program, which helps cover upgrading your panel to 200 amps and installing the dedicated 240-volt circuit a Level 2 charger needs — up to $4,200 for income-qualified households and up to $2,100 for homes in a designated disadvantaged community. SCE sets eligibility and the final amount; you prequalify with them, and as an approved contractor we handle the permit, paperwork, and installation.
My older San Bernardino house has a panel that keeps tripping — can you upgrade it?
Yes. Much of the city's housing predates modern electrical demand, so we regularly replace 60- and 100-amp panels, old fuse boxes, and aging Zinsco or Federal Pacific equipment with 200-amp service, and we rewire circuits that were never meant to run AC, EV charging, and today's appliances all at once. We pull the permit and get the work inspected so it's safe and documented.
Do you really answer calls 24 hours a day?
We do. Electrical problems — a dead panel during a summer heat wave, a burning smell, half a house gone dark — don't wait for business hours, so we take calls around the clock across San Bernardino and the wider Inland Empire. You get the owner on the phone, not a call center or an answering service.
Do you handle commercial and industrial sites, or just homes?
Both. Alongside residential work we take on commercial and light-industrial jobs common around Hospitality Lane, the I-215 corridor, and the city's warehouse districts — service and panel upgrades, subpanels and dedicated circuits, lighting retrofits, and troubleshooting. We cover San Bernardino and the surrounding Inland Empire, from Los Angeles out toward Barstow.
