About

City Electric Works Inc. in Allied Gardens is a commercial and residential electrical contractor operating from 5173 Waring Road in San Diego's 92120 ZIP since 1978. The company holds CSLB #378275 for C-10 Electrical and CSLB #748133 for B General Building, a dual-license combination that allows it to serve as prime contractor on design-build projects where electrical scope drives the overall construction. Tenant improvement work forms a core revenue line, with City Electric handling the full electrical buildout—panel sizing, branch circuit layout, lighting design, fire alarm integration, and data cabling—for new commercial spaces and office reconfigurations across San Diego. The HVAC tie-in on commercial tenant improvements runs through contractors such as Comfort Air Conditioning & Heating in the same Allied Gardens market, where electrical and mechanical trades coordinate on shared ceiling plenums and equipment circuits. Waring Road serves as the main commercial strip for Allied Gardens, concentrating the neighborhood's small business district between Orcutt Avenue and Zion Avenue just south of the 8 freeway. City Electric also partners with SDG&E on utility coordination for new service installations and meter upgrades, managing the permitting and inspection sequence that connects commercial and residential projects to the grid. Residential services cover panel upgrades from older 100-amp fuse boxes to 200-amp breaker panels, whole-house rewiring for pre-1970s homes, EV charger circuit installation, and code-compliance inspections. For Allied Gardens remodeling projects where electrical scope runs alongside structural and finish work, D & L Builders Inc. handles the general contracting side of full home renovations in the same neighborhood. The Waring Road location puts City Electric within a short radius of the Kaiser Permanente Zion campus and the residential streets of Del Cerro and San Carlos that share the 92120 service territory.
