The Verdict
Wiring Innovations handles complex AV and electrical projects with the kind of care that keeps customers calling back for years. One San Diego homeowner has used them six times since 2010 for everything from solar panels to sound zones to security systems, with no complaints. Reviews show 101 mentions of workmanship quality with zero negative comments, often praising the owner Javier's ability to hide conduits in attics, patch drywall the same day, and complete Cat6 installs in less time than competitors. What sets them apart is range: they'll mount your TV, wire ethernet through challenging walls, install recessed lighting, troubleshoot antenna placement, and come back for free if a connection doesn't work. In one case a reviewer lost power to a third of the house after closing escrow and Javier fixed wiring issues that weren't even part of the original job, no charge. The verdict makes sense if you want one licensed electrician who can handle multiple projects rather than coordinating three separate contractors. Just don't expect cutting-edge smart home integration or solar-specific warranties; this is a master electrician who added solar, not a dedicated solar firm.
If you need an installer who can run Cat6 through your attic, mount four TVs, patch the drywall, and install a solar array all in the same month, Javier will do it well. But if you want a company that only does solar and offers specialized equipment warranties, look elsewhere.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Edel V. lost power to about one-third of her home shortly after closing escrow. She called Javier, who arrived promptly, diagnosed the issue and restored electricity with professional, no-nonsense efficiency. She found his pricing fair and his honesty and reliability refreshing — traits she called a rare find. Beyond the agreed work he also corrected unrelated wiring problems without adding them to the bill, a gesture she remembers most clearly. She now tells neighbors they probably won’t need to look any further than Javier when an electrician is required, because he fixed the unexpected issues out of kindness rather than as a line item.
After relying on Wiring Innovations for years to wire six big-screen TVs and sound systems at home, two at work, arrays of ceiling lights and countless repairs, Dave E. jumped at the chance to use them for solar. In March they completed two separate roof-mounted installations totaling 26 panels, and he hasn’t had an electric bill since. The crew moved quickly, charged a reasonable price and kept the job professional. Javier, a master electrician, routed all wiring through the roof into the attic and down through the garage to a control box, avoiding any unsightly conduits or exterior wiring. The control box and associated components were placed neatly and unobtrusively so the system looks tidy from the yard. Having compared larger solar companies and found higher prices and mixed reviews, he ended up with a cleaner, more affordable installation that immediately eliminated his electric bill — the kind of neat, behind-the-scenes workmanship that made the difference.
This homeowner hired Javier from Wiring Innovations to handle a multi-room tech overhaul: five Ethernet drops scattered around the house, a couple of coax fixes after cable-company mistakes, and hanging three TVs — including moving power behind a TV and running Ethernet and HDMI in-wall. Javier showed up responsive and flexible; he texted when he was unexpectedly in the area and squeezed in the quote early, then completed the job that same week. He worked fast but chose the tougher, cleaner route when possible — even after being told an exterior run was acceptable, he fished the second-floor cable through an interior wall so nothing would show. Despite that extra effort, he finished five drops, coax work, and the three TV installs in less time than another company had taken to do four drops at the reviewer’s other house. The workmanship felt professional: neat, small holes, plates that fit, all cables tested, and a drywall repair person Javier recommended left impeccable patches. What stuck with them was the combination of same‑week responsiveness and the decision to do the harder interior routing for a much cleaner final result.

What You Can Expect
Mike brought Wiring Innovations into his Santee family home beginning in 2010 and worked with them through 2014, then again in 2021, for a string of electrical and home-technology projects. He found Javier and his team consistently professional, courteous and knowledgeable, and they designed systems that fit the budget while exceeding expectations. Javier engineered a zoned entertainment setup around the family-room flat-panel TV so music and audio from iPods and other devices played through the bedroom and the outdoor patio, cleaned up any quirks when Mike accidentally pulled a wire or pushed the wrong button, and stuck with troubleshooting until everything behaved. The crew also installed custom ceiling fans in multiple rooms and handled the drywall touch-ups afterward, leaving the repairs immaculate. Wiring Innovations installed a home security system without issues, then later added accent and outdoor BBQ lighting so Mike and his wife can actually grill at night with the stainless grill perfectly lit. He walked away more than satisfied with the workmanship, the ongoing support, and the small finishing details — especially the spotless drywall repairs and the new outdoor lights.
Irena first hired Javier a couple of years ago when she bought her house, and she called him back recently to tackle a cluster of electrical and media upgrades. In a single visit of under six hours he mounted a large flat-screen TV with all the wiring concealed so it looks seamless, added several new outlets, swapped out a couple of chandeliers, and installed a Ring system—running a new hardwired doorbell where none existed. He arrived on time, kept her updated through every step, and moved quickly without sacrificing workmanship. When he had to open walls, he brought in his own drywall guy and left the patches finished the same day, so the whole job felt polished rather than messy. What stuck with her was the combination of speed and the invisible finish—hidden wires and repaired walls—so she knows who she’ll call next time she needs electrical work.
Dinah J. had cut the cable cord a couple of years earlier and, after buying a TV antenna to get local news, found herself propping the antenna in the living room for two months while deciding where to mount it. She called Wiring Innovations; Javier dropped by one afternoon, sized up the situation, and explained a couple of placement options. Two days later he returned, installed the antenna so there are no awkward wires trailing through the room, and left the work area cleaner than he found it. Local reception came back beautifully, the price felt reasonable, and she walked away relieved and a little annoyed she hadn’t called sooner. Having used the company for three years, she plans to bring them back for upcoming remodeling — and the detail that stuck with her most is how neat and fast Javier’s work was: tidy installation, no visible wiring, and local programming restored almost immediately.
