Our Work
Benefits
Future-Ready Electrical Solutions
We modernize your electrical with smart, scalable solutions: energy‑monitoring panels (Leviton or Schneider Wiser Energy), whole‑facility surge protection, networked lighting controls (nLight, Vive, or Enlighted), and demand‑responsive Title 24 sequences. Where it makes sense, we design spare capacity and conduit paths for future kitchen gear, EV chargers, or IT racks. Our documentation includes updated one‑line diagrams and panel schedules so expansions are easy and fully code‑compliant.
Expert Compliance and Permitting
We manage LADBS permits, plan submittals, and inspections end‑to‑end. Our corrections meet the Los Angeles Electrical Code (based on the California Electrical Code, Title 24 Part 3) and applicable energy requirements (Title 24 Part 6). We verify working clearances (CEC 110.26), GFCI/AFCI coverage (CEC 210.8/210.12), equipment grounding and bonding (CEC 250), and lighting controls acceptance testing requirements. You get a clear report, photos, and inspector‑ready documentation.
Trusted, Quality Workmanship
We use durable, code‑compliant materials: copper THHN/THWN‑2 conductors in EMT, industrial‑grade steel boxes, UL‑listed weatherproof in‑use covers, and commercial‑rated devices (Hubbell, Leviton, Legrand). Panels and breakers from Siemens/Square D are installed with torque‑verified terminations and arc‑fault/ground‑fault protection where required. We label everything to LADBS expectations and perform thermal imaging to catch hot spots before we call for inspection.
Custom Assessments and Plans
Every space is different. We start with a targeted assessment: review the correction notice, map circuits, measure loads, and check grounding/bonding. Then we create a phased correction plan that minimizes business disruption—often scheduling high‑impact work after hours. You’ll see line‑item costs, permit needs, and a realistic schedule. If you’re a tenant, we coordinate with your landlord or property manager for approvals and access.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for minor electrical corrections in Atwater Village?+
Many minor corrections require an LADBS electrical permit, even if the work seems small. Device replacements, GFCI additions, or small circuit fixes typically go under an over‑the‑counter permit; service changes, new feeders, or large lighting control scopes may require plan check. We evaluate your list, pull any required permits, and schedule inspections to keep you compliant.
How long will my business be disrupted during corrections?+
Most projects are 1–5 days depending on scope. We isolate areas, schedule panel shutdowns after hours, and stage materials to work quickly. For cafés and retail on Glendale Blvd, we often do noisy or power‑down tasks overnight. Our goal is to keep POS, refrigeration, and life‑safety systems running while we correct violations.
