PowerRoute Electric & Plumbing handles electrical work for homes across Glendale, from Rossmoyne and Adams Hill to Verdugo Woodlands, Chevy Chase Canyon and Montrose. Our licensed electricians troubleshoot and repair problems, replace breakers, install lighting and dedicated circuits, and handle electrical panel upgrades and EV charger installs.
Glendale runs its own utility and its own permit office, so electrical work here is permitted by the City of Glendale and powered by Glendale Water and Power. Need plumbing too? See our Glendale plumbers. Flickering lights, warm outlets, and tripping breakers each have a likely cause. Our list of common electrical problems homeowners run into walks through them.

Popular Projects
Most of our Glendale calls fall into three kinds of jobs.
Glendale’s period homes, many built from the 1920s to the 1940s, often still have their original 60 or 100 amp service. We check your load, size the new service, usually to 200 amps, and handle the Glendale Water and Power service steps and the City of Glendale permit.
We install Level 2 chargers for most makes, including Tesla Wall Connectors, on a dedicated circuit sized for the charger. Glendale Water and Power offers rebates for residential EV charging stations and for a panel upgrade needed to add one. Our guide to EV charger installation costs breaks down the price drivers.
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 City of Glendale permit and meet the 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 Glendale permit, coordinate with Glendale Water and Power when the service changes, and complete the work to code.
We meet the inspector, test everything, and back the job with our 2-year labor warranty.
Glendale homes get power from Glendale Water and Power (GWP), the city-owned utility, not LADWP or Southern California Edison. Electrical permits come from the City of Glendale Permit Services Center at 633 E. Broadway.
Straightforward residential electrical permits are usually issued online through Glendale's permit portal without plan check. We apply for it.
When the main service gets bigger, GWP disconnects and reconnects the power and sets the meter. We coordinate it with the utility.
A Glendale inspector checks permitted work. We book the inspection and meet the inspector on site.
GWP offers rebates for residential EV charging stations and for a panel upgrade needed to add one. Amounts are set by GWP, so we point you to the current program.

Got Questions?
Common questions about electrical services in Glendale.
Yes. Panel replacements, service upgrades, new circuits and hard-wired EV chargers need an electrical permit and inspection from the City of Glendale. Straightforward residential permits are usually issued online. We apply for the permit and book the inspection.
Glendale Water and Power (GWP), the city-owned utility. Glendale is not served by LADWP or Southern California Edison, so utility steps and rebates follow GWP's rules.
Yes. GWP offers rebates for residential EV charging stations and for a panel upgrade needed to add one. Amounts and terms are set by GWP and can change, so check the current program on GWP's website.
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.
Yes. We plan the new circuits, add a subpanel or larger service when the load needs it, pull the permit and meet the inspector.
No. High-power appliances need their own dedicated circuits. Sharing one circuit creates a fire hazard and causes the breaker to trip.
