About Nelson Day Electrical & Engineering
Nelson Day Electrical & Engineering is a small business run by Nelson Day, a mechanical engineer and licensed electrical contractor based in the Joshua Tree area. With over twenty years of industry experience, he currently works full-time across the high desert as an independent contractor, mostly alongside homeowners and owner-builders who need their electrical systems repaired, upgraded, or built from scratch.
Licenses & Qualifications
His background sits in two places at once: the engineering side and the hands-on electrical side. Nelson holds Electrical License 1101954 as a Master Electrician and a Professional Engineering license in mechanical engineering. He’s a SoCal Edison Approved Contractor and a certified Tesla and SolarEdge technician. On solar work and permit-heavy projects, that mix matters, because one person handles the engineering, the wiring, and the paperwork.
Most jobs start with a problem to solve. A system that isn’t behaving. An upgrade that has to pass inspection. A solar install that needs a licensed contractor to sign off. A growing share of his work comes from homeowners making changes to qualify for government energy incentives, and those upgrades often call for permits that a licensed contractor has to approve. If you feel stuck in that process, that’s exactly the kind of thing he helps sort out.
The Local Advantage
Working with a small business means you deal directly with the person doing the work. When you reach out, you talk to Nelson. He plans the job, does the work to code, and stands behind the result, and you’ll know what’s happening at each step. There’s no call center and no handoff to a crew you’ve never met.
What Drives Service
Ask him why he does it, and the answer is simple: the satisfaction of a job done well and a problem solved for someone who needed the help. That’s the standard he brings to every panel upgrade, troubleshooting call, and solar installation.
