CVE

Chula Vista Electric, known as CVE, is a family-owned electrical contractor that has served Southern California since 1925. The company handles commercial, healthcare and industrial electrical work, network systems, medium and high voltage projects, renewable energy and preventive maintenance, covering design-build, installation, maintenance and repairs. Past projects listed on its site include SeaWorld San Diego and the San Diego Zoo.

CVE has its main facility in Santee and a second office in Imperial. The phone line is staffed 24/7 for emergency calls, and new projects can start with an estimate request through the website. The company has a full-time safety director and puts its crews through in-house training, including medium voltage and NFPA 70E courses, so neighbors can expect careful work on larger jobs too.
