Residential Electrical Services in Los Angeles

Los Angeles has one of the oldest housing inventories in California, and many homes still run on 60 or 100 amp service that was never designed for EV chargers, central air and remodeled kitchens. Our licensed electricians handle troubleshooting and repairs, electrical panel upgrades in Los Angeles, dedicated circuits and subpanels, rewiring and EV chargers.

We also work with property managers, HOAs, apartment owners and businesses. Office, retail, restaurant and tenant improvement work sits on our commercial electrician page. We are based in Van Nuys and cover the San Fernando Valley and the rest of the city. Planning an upgrade? Read our electrical panel upgrade cost guide. Flickering lights, warm outlets, and tripping breakers each have a likely cause. Our list of common electrical problems homeowners run into walks through them.

What Los Angeles Homeowners Call Us About

Most of our Los Angeles calls fall into three kinds of jobs.

Electrical Panel Upgrades

Many Los Angeles homes still run on outdated 60 or 100 amp service. We check your load, size the new service, usually to 200 amps, and handle the LADWP service steps and the LADBS permit.

EV Charger Installation

We install Level 2 chargers for most makes, including Tesla Wall Connectors, on a dedicated circuit sized for the charger. LADWP offers a residential EV charger rebate for a qualified Level 2 charger installed by a licensed C-10 electrical contractor with a permit, and we provide the permit paperwork. For budgeting, see what EV charger installation costs in Los Angeles.

Remodel and ADU Wiring

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 LADBS permit and meet the inspector.

How It Works

Four simple steps from your first call to a finished, inspected job.

1. Call or Request a Quote

Call (323) 616-2829 or send the form. We ask a few questions and set a time to look at the job.

2. Written Price

A licensed electrician checks the work on site and gives you the scope and the price in writing before anything starts.

3. Permit and Work

We pull the LADBS permit, coordinate with LADWP when the service changes, and complete the work to code.

4. Inspection and Warranty

We meet the inspector, test everything, and back the job with our 2-year labor warranty.

Los Angeles Permits and LADWP

Homes and businesses in the City of Los Angeles get power from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), and electrical permits come from the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS).

LADBS Electrical Permits

Panel upgrades, new circuits, rewiring and hard-wired EV chargers need an LADBS electrical permit. We apply for it.

LADWP Service Changes

When the main service gets bigger, LADWP handles the disconnect, reconnect and meter. We coordinate it with the utility.

City Inspection

An LADBS inspector checks permitted work. We book the inspection and meet the inspector on site.

LADWP EV Rebates

LADWP runs a residential EV charger rebate for a Level 2 charger installed by a licensed C-10 contractor with a permit. Amounts are set by LADWP.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I shopped around for the best rate and service to install two generators. I found Powerroute Electric through a friend and have now referred them to 4 of our friends and neighbors. They are amazing and deliver great service and pricing.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is 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.

Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about electrical services in Los Angeles.

Do I need a permit for a panel upgrade or EV charger in Los Angeles?

Yes. Panel replacements, service upgrades, new circuits and hard-wired EV chargers need an electrical permit and inspection from the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS). We apply for the permit and book the inspection.

Who is the electric utility in Los Angeles?

In the City of Los Angeles the utility is the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP). Some nearby cities, such as Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena and Santa Monica, use a different utility. Service upgrades and rebates follow the utility's rules.

Does LADWP offer an EV charger rebate?

Yes. LADWP offers residential customers a rebate on a qualified Level 2 home charger installed by a licensed C-10 contractor with a permit, with more for income-qualified customers. Amounts and terms are set by LADWP and can change, so check the current program on LADWP's website.

How do I know if my electrical panel is undersized or overloaded?

Common signs include breakers that trip often, lights that dim or flicker when large appliances turn on, and heat or buzzing at the panel. We check the load and tell you whether an upgrade is needed.

Do you work on apartment buildings and commercial properties?

Yes. We work with property managers, HOAs, apartment owners, offices, retail shops and restaurants, and we schedule around tenants and business hours where possible.

Can you connect multiple high power appliances to a single circuit?

No. High-power appliances need their own dedicated circuits. Sharing one circuit creates a fire hazard and causes the breaker to trip.

What areas of Los Angeles do you serve?

The San Fernando Valley, Hollywood, Silver Lake, Echo Park, Los Feliz, Mid Wilshire, Koreatown, Northeast LA and nearby cities such as Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena.
