Trusted Electrical Repair & Installation in Pasadena & Los Angeles

If a circuit breaker trips repeatedly after a single reset, feels warm or hot to the touch, gives off a burning odor, or immediately snaps back off upon resetting, you should stop attempting to reset it and call our 24/7 team. Repeated trips indicate serious circuit overloads, short circuits, or ground faults that require professional diagnostic meters to isolate safely.

Key indicators include flickering or dimming lights when large appliances kick on, buzzing or crackling noises behind walls, discolored or warm outlet covers, ungrounded two-prong outlets, and the presence of older knob-and-tube or cloth wiring insulation in pre-1970s Pasadena and LA homes.

Sizing depends on your target power coverage. For essential circuits (refrigeration, medical devices, lighting, security, Wi-Fi), a 9kW to 14kW generator is commonly sufficient. For whole-property backup including central HVAC, electric cooking, and EV charging, systems typically range from 20kW to 26kW+. We perform an accurate on-site load calculation before recommending a unit.

Yes. We handle residential single-family homes, historic properties, condominiums, and multi-unit residential buildings, as well as commercial offices, retail shops, restaurants, and warehouse facilities. We work on standard 120V/240V systems as well as commercial 208V/480V three-phase electrical panels.

A 200A upgrade typically includes coordinating with the local power utility (such as Pasadena Water and Power or Southern California Edison), installing a new weatherhead, heavier gauge service entrance conductors, modern meter socket enclosure, grounding electrode rods, and a new distribution panel equipped with modern AFCI/GFCI breakers.

Our primary service zone includes Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank, Arcadia, Alhambra, and Los Angeles, along with nearby communities such as South Pasadena, Altadena, San Marino, Eagle Rock, and Highland Park.

Please ensure clear, unobstructed access to the main electrical panel (at least 3 feet of clear working space in front of the box), subpanels, attic or crawlspace access points if rewiring is being evaluated, and any specific outlets or appliances experiencing faults.
