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.
Four simple steps from your first call to a finished, inspected job.
Call (323) 616-2829 or send the form. We ask a few questions and set a time to look at the job.
A licensed electrician checks the work on site and gives you the scope and the price in writing before anything starts.
We pull the City of Burbank permit, coordinate with BWP when the service changes, and complete the work to code.
We meet the city inspector, test everything, and back the job with our 2-year labor warranty.
Burbank homes get power from Burbank Water and Power (BWP), the city-owned utility, not LADWP or Southern California Edison. Electrical permits come from the City of Burbank Building and Safety Division at 150 N. Third Street.
Panel upgrades, new circuits, rewiring and hard-wired EV chargers need a City of Burbank permit. We apply over the counter or online.
When the main service gets bigger, BWP asks for a meter spot request and service planning approval before the permit. We prepare it.
A Burbank inspector checks permitted work. We book the inspection and meet the inspector on site.
BWP runs an EV charging station rebate that requires a finaled permit. Amounts are set by BWP, so we point you to the current program.

I haven’t personally hired PowerRoute Electric for their services, but I’ve worked alongside them on several jobs over the past year and a half before it was out to the public. From what I’ve seen firsthand, they take their work seriously. They show up on time, communicate clearly, and put effort into getting the job done right. Their team is respectful and seems to care about doing things the right way, not just the fast way. They’re not perfect—no company is—but they’ve consistently shown up and done what they said they would, which goes a long way in this line of work. If you’re considering hiring them, based on what I’ve experienced working with them on-site, they’re reliable and professional. I’d trust them on a job of my own.Posted on Google![]()

Power Route was fast, efficient, organized and knowledgeable when working on solving my electrical issues. They went above and beyond by giving us a breakdown of what the cheaper option vs the best solution would look like in terms of cost and long term solution. Power Route was very transparent and delivered high quality work . Fixed our flickering lights, our overload issues, provided a water heater solution and installed 2 car chargers. Everything is working great and we have not had an issue. Would definitely recommend.Posted on Google![]()
