We also troubleshoot problems, replace breakers, and install lighting and dedicated circuits.
North Hills is part of the City of Los Angeles, so electrical work here is permitted by LADBS and powered by LADWP.

Most of our North Hills calls fall into four kinds of jobs.
Many North Hills houses and apartment buildings date from the decades after World War II and still have panels sized for that era. We check your load, size the new service, usually to 200 amps, and handle the LADWP service steps and the LADBS permit. For budgeting, see what an electrical panel upgrade costs in Los Angeles.
Many North Hills homes date from the decades after World War II and still run on ungrounded two-wire circuits, cloth-insulated wire and kitchen and laundry circuits sized for that era. Homes built between about 1965 and 1974 may have aluminum branch wiring. We rewire the whole house or the worst circuits, add grounded outlets, pull the LADBS permit and meet the inspector. See our wiring repair and rewiring service.
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. 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 LADBS permit and meet the inspector.
