Simi Valley's mix of hillside, equestrian, and established valley homes — all in Southern California Edison territory — keeps us busy with panel and service upgrades, Level 2 EV charger installs, generators, dedicated circuits, and rewiring built to stand up to the heat and the Santa Ana winds.
Genius Electric Corp is an owner-operated, 24-hour electrician serving Simi Valley and the surrounding communities over the Santa Susana Pass. Simi Valley is Southern California Edison (SCE) territory, and the local conditions are hard on an electrical system: long, hot summers and Santa Ana winds bake and stress outdoor meter-mains, breakers, and AC disconnects, while EV chargers, heat pumps, and modern AC push older panels past what they were built for. When you call, you get the owner — who shows up, explains your options in plain English, and does the work himself.
From the hillside and equestrian properties around the Bridle Path and Santa Susana Knolls to the established neighborhoods in Sinaloa, Texas Tract, and the newer homes in Wood Ranch and Big Sky, we handle the work these homes actually need: panel and service upgrades, the dedicated 240-volt circuit a Level 2 EV charger needs to charge at full speed, sub-panels for shops and outbuildings, generators and transfer switches, rewiring, and emergency repairs. Every job is done to code, priced fairly up front, and left spotless — day or night.
This Simi Valley home had a rusted, failing exterior meter-main that could no longer safely carry the load. We tore out the old service, set a new main-breaker panel and meter, then ran a clean EMT conduit circuit through the garage to a hardwired 240-volt Level 2 EV charger — two hots and a ground landed and torqued to spec. The result is safe, modern service and full-speed home charging, the same panel-to-EV work SCE's Charge Ready Home rebate is built around. Swipe through the photos to see the job from the finished panel back to the day it started.

Simi Valley 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.
I was looking to replace 3 bathroom ventilation fans. Edgar-the owner of Genius Electric Corp. came and explained the installation process and allowed me to listen to the three different fans speeds and choose which one I prefer to use. After installing all 3 fans, he made sure the work area was clean. I would recommend Genius Electric Corp. to anyone who needs an electrician. Thank you Edgar for replacing all 3 of my bathroom ventilation fans.

I have been looking for a reliable electrical guy in the AV for years and I've finally found one! Edgar was great! He was able to come out quickly and gave me a fair price for the work I requested. He did a great job and I really felt like I could trust him. He was respectful of my home and cleaned up after himself before he left. I would highly recommend Genius Electric!

I had a wonderful experience with Genius Electric Corp! Edgar was absolutely fantastic—he was incredibly diligent, professional, and truly took his time to locate and fix the issue I was having. It's clear he cares about doing the job right. On top of that, the price was very reasonable—much better than I expected for such quality work. What really impressed me was that he cleaned up everything afterward, leaving the space spotless. I highly recommend Genius Electric Corp and will definitely be calling them again for any future electrical needs. Five stars all the way!

Who is the electric utility in Simi Valley?
Southern California Edison (SCE) serves Simi Valley — SCE owns and maintains the lines and the meter, delivers your power, and handles service upgrades, outages, and billing. That also means Simi Valley homeowners can look at SCE's EV-charger rebate program when upgrading a panel for home charging. For panel upgrades, meter-mains, and interconnection, the utility we coordinate with is SCE.
Is there a rebate for upgrading my panel for an EV charger in Simi Valley?
Simi Valley is SCE territory, so your project may qualify for SCE's Charge Ready Home program. It rebates upgrading a 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 we handle the rest. Ask when you call, or see our EV rebates page.
Do you work on the hillside and equestrian properties around the Bridle Path?
Yes. Simi Valley's hillside lots and horse properties — around the Bridle Path, Santa Susana Knolls, and the north-side canyons — often have detached garages, barns, shops, and pumps that need sub-panels, dedicated circuits, long conduit runs, and backup power. We handle service upgrades, trenching, and generator and transfer-switch installs on these larger properties.
