ASL
Your local electrician in Dana Point
Dana Point has older roots than its incorporation date of January 1, 1989 suggests. Capistrano Beach has Spanish-style homes from the late 1920s, and Lantern Village has 1920s houses from the town's early days. Dana Point Harbor opened in 1971, and today about 33,000 people live in neighborhoods from Lantern Village and Capistrano Beach to Monarch Beach and The Strands at Headlands.
That range of homes means a wide range of electrical needs. Older homes may have small services, ungrounded circuits and wiring from several eras, while newer homes call for upgrades like EV chargers and smart lighting. Coastal exposure affects exterior fixtures and equipment across the city, and harbor-area remodels are common.

From our Google reviews
“Walter was prompt and able to check our breaker that we wanted him to look at. Upon returning with the new information I gave him he was able to find the root of a different problem that needed to be fixed.”
“We had issues with our patio lights not turning on. They came out and explained the problem and proposed solutions. This is our third time using ASL electric and will continue using them for any of our electrical issues/projects.”
Updating the electrical in an older Dana Point home
In a home from the 1920s through the 1960s, it is common to find a small service, ungrounded circuits, and additions wired at different times by different people. Before a remodel or an EV charger, we recommend an evaluation of the panel and wiring. It tells you what is safe to keep, what should be replaced first and whether the service needs to grow, so you can plan and budget with real numbers.
Electrical for harbor-area remodels
Remodels near the harbor and coast often add kitchens, decks and outdoor living areas, all of which need new circuits and lighting. Exterior work should use weather-resistant outlets with in-use covers, GFCI protection and fixtures suited to salt air. We plan the electrical with your contractor so the design, the permit and the inspection go smoothly.
