Popular Projects
Most of our Arcadia calls fall into three kinds of jobs.
Larger Arcadia homes, and older ranch houses adding central air, EV chargers and remodeled kitchens, often outgrow their original panel. We check your load, size the new service, usually to 200 amps, and handle the Southern California Edison service steps and the City of Arcadia permit. If you are still comparing quotes, read how to choose the right electrician for your home.
We install Level 2 chargers for most makes, including Tesla Wall Connectors, on a dedicated circuit sized for the charger. Arcadia is Southern California Edison territory, so any utility EV programs come from SCE, and we handle the City of Arcadia permit and its EV charger checklist.
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 Arcadia permit and meet the inspector. See the signs your home needs whole-house surge protection.
