Residential Electrical Services in West Hollywood

From pre-1960 apartment buildings to luxury condos and storefronts along Sunset Boulevard and Santa Monica Boulevard, West Hollywood properties often run on electrical systems that were not built for today’s loads. We regularly find Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels, aluminum wiring, ungrounded outlets and knob and tube remnants. Our licensed electricians handle panel upgrades, rewiring, EV chargers and repairs.

We work with condo owners, HOAs, property managers and businesses such as restaurants, salons and retail shops, and we schedule to keep disruption to tenants and customers low. See our commercial electrician services for business work. Landlords should also read our guide to panel upgrades in rent-controlled units. 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 West Hollywood Homeowners Call Us About

Most of our West Hollywood calls fall into three kinds of jobs.

Electrical Panel Upgrades

Older West Hollywood buildings often still have obsolete panels, including Federal Pacific and Zinsco models. We check your load, size the new service, usually to 200 amps, and handle the Southern California Edison service steps and the City of West Hollywood permit. For budgeting, see what an electrical panel upgrade costs in Los Angeles.

EV Charger Installation

We install Level 2 chargers for most makes, including Tesla Wall Connectors, on a dedicated circuit sized for the charger. West Hollywood is Southern California Edison territory, so any utility EV programs come from SCE, and we handle the City of West Hollywood permit.

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 City of West Hollywood 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 City of West Hollywood permit, coordinate with Southern California Edison 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.

West Hollywood Permits and Southern California Edison

West Hollywood is its own city, not part of the City of Los Angeles. Homes and businesses get power from Southern California Edison (SCE), and electrical permits come from the City of West Hollywood Building and Safety Division.

Electrical Permits

Panel upgrades, new circuits, rewiring and hard-wired EV chargers need a City of West Hollywood permit. We prepare and submit it.

SCE Service Changes

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

City Inspection

A City of West Hollywood inspector checks permitted work. We book the inspection and meet the inspector on site.

Condos and HOAs

Multi-unit buildings often need HOA or property manager sign-off before panel or EV work. We provide the scope and paperwork they ask for.

     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.

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 West Hollywood.

Do I need a permit for a panel upgrade or EV charger in West Hollywood?

Yes. Panel replacements, service upgrades, new circuits and hard-wired EV chargers need an electrical permit and inspection from the City of West Hollywood Building and Safety Division. We apply for the permit and book the inspection.

Who is the electric utility in West Hollywood?

Southern California Edison (SCE). Service upgrades that change the meter or main service are coordinated with SCE.

Are there EV charger rebates in West Hollywood?

Utility EV charger programs in West Hollywood come from Southern California Edison, and they change over time. Check SCE's website for current programs. We handle the City of West Hollywood permit and the installation.

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.

Can you wire a kitchen remodel or ADU in West Hollywood?

Yes. We plan the new circuits, add a subpanel or larger service when the load needs it, pull the permit and meet the inspector.

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.

Should I replace a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel?

Both brands show up often in older West Hollywood buildings and are widely flagged by inspectors and insurers. We inspect the panel and give you a written price to replace it with a modern panel.

What areas near West Hollywood do you serve?

All of West Hollywood, plus Hollywood, Beverly Grove, Fairfax, Mid Wilshire and the rest of Los Angeles.
