Why Upland Homeowners Choose SPD Electric

Upland is unique among Inland Empire cities. Within just a few miles you’ll find historic Craftsman homes from the 1910s, post-war ranch homes from the 1950s, mid-century moderns, 1980s tract developments, and luxury estates in San Antonio Heights at the foothills. 

Each type of home has different electrical needs — and SPD Electric brings the right approach to each.

Experience With Every Home Type

From restoring electrical in 1910 Craftsman bungalows to upgrading 200-amp service in 5,000 sq ft San Antonio Heights estates, we have experience with the full range of homes you’ll find in Upland.

Foothill Property Experience

San Antonio Heights and the foothill areas have unique electrical considerations — longer service entrance runs, larger square footage requiring higher capacity, and outdoor electrical for pools and landscaping. We understand foothill home electrical work.

Right Next Door to Rancho Cucamonga

Our headquarters is just 5-7 miles from Upland — the closest non-Rancho city we serve. Faster arrival times, easier scheduling, and direct accountability from a local owner-operated electrical contractor.

Electrical Services We Provide in Upland

Complete residential electrical services tailored to Upland’s diverse housing.

Electrical Panel Upgrade

Upgrade your panel from 100-amp to 200-amp service. Particularly common in Historic Upland Craftsman homes still on original electrical service, and in San Antonio Heights estates that need 400-amp service for large square footage.

EV Charger Installation

EVITP-certified Level 2 EV charger installation for Upland homeowners. We install all major brands — Tesla Wall Connector, Wallbox, ChargePoint, Emporia, Grizzl-E. Many Upland homeowners qualify for SCE Charge Ready Home rebates up to $4,200.

FPE & Zinsco Panel Replacement

Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels installed in Upland homes from the 1950s-1980s have known safety defects. Many insurance companies require their replacement. We safely remove and replace these recalled panels.

400-Amp Service Upgrades

San Antonio Heights and other foothill estates often need 400-amp electrical service to handle multiple HVAC systems, large square footage, pools, hot tubs, and home theater systems. We install code-compliant 400-amp service.

Electrical Troubleshooting

Diagnose and fix electrical problems — flickering lights, tripping breakers, dead outlets, faulty switches. Particularly valuable in older Historic Upland homes where electrical issues can stem from decades-old systems.

Outdoor & Landscape Electrical

San Antonio Heights and other foothill homes often have substantial outdoor electrical — pool equipment, landscape lighting, outdoor kitchens, gazebos, and water features. We install code-compliant outdoor circuits with proper GFCI protection.

Electrical Issues Common in Upland Homes

Upland’s wide range of home ages and sizes means different electrical issues in different neighborhoods. Here’s what we encounter most often when serving Upland customers:

01

Historic Upland Original Electrical Service

Many Historic Upland Craftsman homes still operate on their original electrical service — 60-amp or 100-amp panels installed nearly a century ago. These systems weren’t designed for modern electrical loads and need updating.

02

San Antonio Heights Estates Need More Capacity

Large foothill estates often need higher-capacity electrical service. A 5,000+ sq ft home with multiple HVAC systems, electric appliances, pool equipment, and EV chargers can easily max out a 200-amp service. 400-amp upgrades are common in this area.

03

Federal Pacific Panel Replacement

Upland homes built in the 1960s-1980s commonly received Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels — both linked to safety defects. Insurance companies increasingly require these be replaced. We safely replace recalled panels with modern equivalents.

04

Outdated Outdoor Electrical

Upland’s mature yards often have outdated outdoor outlets, landscape lighting, and pool equipment wiring that no longer meets current GFCI requirements. We update outdoor electrical to current safety standards.
