Looking for a trusted Burbank electrician? We understand your neighborhood. Power Route Electric works throughout Burbank, from historic Magnolia Park homes to the modern properties near Downtown.
Power Route Electric brings professional electrical services to Burbank homes and businesses. Our licensed electricians have worked on everything from vintage 1940s wiring to cutting-edge smart home systems.
Burbank sits at the base of the Verdugo Mountains in Los Angeles County. Over 100,000 people live in this 17.4 square mile city known worldwide for entertainment production.
The city’s character comes from mixing old and new. Historic neighborhoods feature charming bungalows from the 1940s. Downtown areas showcase modern mixed-use developments. Entertainment facilities need industrial-grade electrical infrastructure.
This variety creates interesting electrical challenges. A Magnolia Park craftsman needs different care than a new smart home near Downtown. Production facilities have power demands most electricians have never seen.
Burbank summers are hot and dry. Air conditioners run constantly. Electrical systems work hardest during these months. Undersized systems fail under the load. We design electrical infrastructure for Burbank’s climate reality.
Most established neighborhoods were built between 1940 and 1970. These homes are hitting the age where major electrical upgrades become necessary. Original 60 or 100 amp service doesn’t support modern living. We help homeowners modernize their electrical systems safely and correctly.
We handle every type of home electrical work in Burbank. Your 1940s bungalow needs different care than new construction, and we know how to work on both.
Electrical problems don't wait for business hours. We answer emergency calls 24/7 in Burbank.
Burbank businesses count on us to keep the power on. We work on offices, retail spaces, restaurants, and entertainment facilities across the city.
We work in every part of Burbank. Here’s where you’ll find us.
This historic neighborhood has some of Burbank’s oldest homes. Most were built in the 1940s and need thoughtful electrical upgrades. We specialize in modernizing these systems without destroying original character.
Mid-century homes in Rancho are hitting the age where electrical panels need upgrades. We’ve done dozens of panel replacements in this neighborhood.
Production companies, studios, and media businesses need serious electrical infrastructure. We understand the high-power demands of professional equipment.
Mixed-use buildings downtown need electricians who handle both residential and commercial work. We do both.
These post-war family homes are adding modern loads like EV chargers and central air. Original electrical systems weren’t built for today’s demands.
We’re in this established neighborhood regularly doing repairs, upgrades, and remodels.
High-end homes near Toluca Lake need sophisticated electrical work. We install advanced lighting systems, whole-home automation, and luxury amenities.
Businesses near Hollywood Burbank Airport call us for commercial and light industrial electrical service.

We’re not trying to cover all of Los Angeles County. Focusing on Burbank and nearby communities means we get to you faster. We know the neighborhoods. We understand the common electrical issues in different areas.
When you call with an emergency at 10 PM, we arrive in less than an hour. When we work on your 1950s home, we’ve probably worked on similar homes on your street. Local focus matters.
Every electrician carries current California licensing through the California Contractors State License Board. We maintain full insurance coverage. All permits go through the City of Burbank Building and Safety Department properly.
Check your electrician’s credentials. Unlicensed work creates safety hazards and legal problems. It complicates home sales later. We provide proof of licensing and insurance upfront.
We give you a complete price before beginning work. What we quote is what you pay. No hidden fees. No surprise charges. No inflated bills.
We explain the work, why it needs to be done, and what it costs. You approve everything before we touch a wire.
We use premium electrical components. Our work exceeds minimum code requirements because code minimums are exactly that: minimums.
Electrical work lives inside your walls for 30 or 40 years. Cheap materials and rushed installation create problems. We install systems built to last.

Walk through Magnolia Park or older parts of Rancho and you’ll see beautiful homes from the 1940s through 1960s. These homes have charm and character. They also have 60 or 100 amp electrical panels designed for a different era.
Your grandparents had a refrigerator, maybe a window AC unit, and some lights. You have central air conditioning, multiple computers, smart TVs, an EV charger, and dozens of other devices pulling power constantly.
The math doesn’t work. Original electrical systems can’t handle modern loads safely. We see the same issues repeatedly: two-prong outlets without grounding, insufficient circuits, knob and tube wiring, and panels that trip constantly.
We upgrade these systems properly. New panels, modern wiring, proper grounding, and enough circuits for how you actually live. Your home keeps its character while getting safe, reliable electrical service.
You added central air conditioning last summer. Your panel started tripping. Then you bought an electric vehicle and now you need a charger. More tripping. Your home office has multiple computers and monitors. The lights dim when everything runs at once.
These are symptoms of an overloaded electrical panel. Your panel is doing its job by tripping, protecting your home from overheated wires and potential fires. The problem is you’ve exceeded what your system was designed to handle.
Most Burbank homes we work on need 200 amp service. Older homes often have only 100 amps. Larger properties with extensive electrical demands need 400 amp service. We evaluate your actual usage and size the system correctly.
Burbank summers are brutal. Air conditioners run for hours every day. Older electrical systems struggle under this constant load.
We see undersized wiring, missing disconnect boxes, wrong breaker sizes, and AC units sharing circuits with other equipment. All of these create problems. Your AC doesn’t cool properly, breakers trip on hot days, and the system wears out faster.
AC systems need dedicated circuits with correct wire sizing and proper breakers. We install electrical infrastructure that supports reliable cooling without overloading your system.
If your Burbank home was built between 1965 and 1974, check your wiring. Many homes from this period have aluminum branch circuit wiring. This seemed like a good idea at the time. Copper prices were high and aluminum offered a cheaper alternative.
The problem is aluminum expands and contracts more than copper when it heats and cools. Over decades, this causes connections to loosen. Loose connections create heat. Heat creates fire hazards.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission studied this extensively. Homes with aluminum wiring are 55 times more likely to have fire hazard conditions at outlets.
We handle this three ways. Complete rewiring with copper is the permanent solution. COPALUM crimp connections at every outlet and switch is another approach. AlumiConn connectors provide aluminum-to-copper transitions. We evaluate your situation and recommend the right fix.
You pull into your driveway and plug in your EV. Walk inside and turn on the air conditioning. Start cooking dinner. Open your laptop for some evening work. The panel trips.
This scenario plays out in Burbank homes daily. Original electrical systems weren’t designed for simultaneous high-power loads. Something has to give.
We design electrical systems for how you actually live. Proper panel sizing, adequate circuits, correct wire gauges, and capacity for future additions. You shouldn’t have to choose between charging your car and running your AC.
Some older Burbank homes still have active knob and tube wiring from the 1920s through 1940s. This system used ceramic knobs and tubes to route wiring through framing. The wiring itself has cloth insulation.
This worked fine for the light bulbs and radios of 1930. Today’s electrical loads exceed its safe capacity by orders of magnitude. The cloth insulation deteriorates over time. You end up with exposed conductors inside your walls.
Insurance companies often refuse coverage for homes with active knob and tube wiring. They understand the fire risk. According to the National Fire Protection Association, electrical failures are a leading cause of home fires in the United States.
We replace these outdated systems completely. Modern wiring, proper panels, correct grounding, and safe operation. Your insurance company will be happy. More importantly, your home will be safe.

Yes. We manage the entire permit process with the City of Burbank Building and Safety Department. You don't need to visit city offices or figure out what paperwork they want.
We know which projects need permits and which don't. Simple repairs usually don't require permits. Panel upgrades, new circuits, and major modifications do. We handle submissions, inspections, and final approvals.
Older homes are where we do most of our work. We upgrade panels from 60 or 100 amps to 200 or 400 amps. We rewire homes with outdated or dangerous wiring. We replace aluminum wiring and remove old knob and tube systems. We install proper grounding, GFCI outlets, and AFCI breakers.
Our approach respects your home's character. We route new wiring through existing pathways when possible. We match fixtures and covers to your home's era. We protect your walls and repair any openings we make.
Yes. We install Tesla Wall Connectors, universal Level 2 chargers, and commercial charging stations.
First we check your electrical panel. Most EV chargers need dedicated 240-volt circuits with 40 to 60 amp breakers. Your panel needs space and capacity for this load. If not, we upgrade your panel first.
Then we mount the charger, run proper wiring, install the correct breaker, and test everything. We pull permits and schedule inspections. You end up with a safe, code-compliant charging station.
We work in Glendale, North Hollywood, Toluca Lake, Sun Valley, Studio City, and Sherman Oaks. Our service area focuses on Burbank and immediately surrounding cities for fast response.
Costs depend on what you need done. Replacing an outlet costs less than upgrading your entire panel. We provide free estimates.
You get detailed pricing before work starts. We explain the work and the cost. You approve the price. No surprise charges show up later. What we quote is what you pay.
Panel work is a big part of what we do. We diagnose tripping breakers, replace failed breakers, upgrade undersized panels, and install new panels for additions or remodels.
Common problems include breakers that trip frequently, buzzing sounds, burning smells, warm panel covers, rust or corrosion, and panels without enough circuits. These need immediate attention.
Call an electrician right away if you notice burning smells near outlets or your panel, sparks from outlets or switches, outlets or switches that feel warm, lights flickering throughout the house, breakers that trip repeatedly, buzzing sounds, or outlet covers that look discolored.
These symptoms mean something is wrong. Electrical fires usually start small and grow. Don't ignore warning signs.
Yes. We install recessed lighting, chandeliers, ceiling fans, landscape lighting, and LED upgrades throughout Burbank homes and businesses. Proper lighting transforms spaces while improving energy efficiency.
Upgrading to LED lighting can reduce your energy consumption significantly. The U.S. Department of Energy reports that LED bulbs use at least 75% less energy than traditional incandescent lighting.
