PowerRoute Electric & Plumbing handles electrical work for homes across Burbank, from Magnolia Park and the Rancho Equestrian District to the Burbank Hills and Downtown. Our licensed electricians troubleshoot and repair problems, replace breakers, install lighting and dedicated circuits, and handle electrical panel upgrades and EV charger installs.
Burbank has its own utility and its own building department, so electrical work here is permitted by the City of Burbank and powered by Burbank Water and Power. We take care of both, and every installation follows the California Electrical Code. Before you call, our guide to common household electrical problems helps you describe what you are seeing.
Popular Projects
Most of our Burbank calls fall into three kinds of jobs.
Many Burbank homes still run on the 60 or 100 amp panel they were built with. Central air, induction ranges, EV chargers and home offices all need more capacity. We check your load, size the new service, usually to 200 amps, and handle the Burbank Water and Power service planning and the City of Burbank permit. Planning an upgrade? Read our electrical panel upgrade cost guide.
We install Level 2 chargers for most makes, including Tesla Wall Connectors, on a dedicated circuit sized for the charger. BWP offers a residential EV charging station rebate, with more when a panel upgrade is part of the job, and it needs the finaled City of Burbank permit we provide. For budgeting, see what EV charger installation costs in Los Angeles.
Kitchen remodels, garage conversions and ADUs need new circuits, often a subpanel and sometimes a larger service before they can pass inspection. We plan the wiring with your contractor or designer, pull the permit and meet the city inspector.
