A&R Electric is a San Diego-based commercial electrical contractor built on two decades of field experience and a straightforward approach to doing quality work.
A&R Electric was built by two tradespeople who spent 20 years working commercial jobs before deciding to run one the right way.
We started A&R Electric because we knew what a well-run electrical contractor looked like — and more importantly, what it didn't. Clients who can't get a straight answer. Crews who don't respect the schedule. Work that barely passes inspection. We built this company to be the opposite of all of that.
Our focus is commercial work in San Diego — tenant improvements, service upgrades, energy retrofits, and EV charging infrastructure. We work directly with general contractors, property owners, and facility managers. You'll deal with ownership on every job, not a chain of project managers.
Every service is built around the demands of commercial construction in San Diego. We know the AHJ, the inspection process, and what it takes to close out a project cleanly.
Full electrical fit-outs from shell to move-in ready. We work with your GC from rough-in through trim and final inspection — coordinated, on schedule, clean work.
Outdated service infrastructure holds your building back. We design and install main service upgrades, distribution switchgear, subpanels, and metering — sized for today and tomorrow.
Reduce overhead and hit sustainability targets. We handle full LED conversions, lighting controls, occupancy sensors, and daylight harvesting — including projects that qualify for SDG&E rebate programs.
The commercial market in San Diego is moving fast on EV. We install Level 2 and DC fast charging infrastructure for offices, retail centers, parking structures, and fleet facilities — with proper load management from day one.
We know how to win a bid and we know how to deliver on it. 20 years in the trade means we've seen what separates the contractors that GCs keep calling from the ones they don't.
No layers. When you need a decision or an answer on something in the field, you're calling the people who actually run this company. Every time.
We understand how commercial projects work. We show up when we say we will, coordinate with other trades, and keep our milestones so you keep yours.
We know what San Diego inspectors look for because we've been through hundreds of inspections. First-time passes, clean documentation, no surprises at closeout.
We don't split attention between residential volume and commercial projects. Our crew, our systems, and our relationships are all built around commercial work.
We work with general contractors, property owners, and facility managers throughout San Diego. If you have a commercial project coming up, we'd like to hear about it.
