Our Work



Benefits
Advanced, Future-Ready Solutions
We future-proof your facility by blending precise diagnostics with modern solutions. Using thermal imaging, power-quality analyzers, and data logging, we pinpoint faults before they become failures. We install scalable gear—smart panels, networked lighting controls compliant with Title 24, high-SCCR switchgear, whole-building surge protection, and dedicated, conditioned circuits for AV/IT. Our repairs anticipate growth, leaving space and capacity for added loads like EV chargers, expanded editing suites, and upgraded HVAC.
Navigating Compliance and Permits
Our team navigates permitting with the City of Burbank Building and Safety Division and coordinates inspections to minimize downtime. We repair and label to the 2022 California Electrical Code (CEC), NFPA 70E safety practices, and Title 24 lighting requirements. From panel corrections to emergency egress lighting, we document work with photos, torque logs, and updated panel schedules so you have a clear record of compliance for landlords, insurers, and auditors.
Trusted Workmanship, Every Time
Expect meticulous workmanship: copper THHN/THWN-2 conductors in EMT, listed fittings, accurately torqued lugs, and thermal checks before turnover. We use trusted components from Eaton, Square D/Schneider, and Siemens, and specify commercial-grade devices and surge protection. Lockout/tagout, arc-rated PPE, and energized work protocols protect your operations and our team. We stand behind our repairs and focus on fixes that last—not band-aids.
Tailored Diagnostic Approach
Every facility is different. We start with a load assessment and circuit tracing, then develop a plan that fits your operations—night work for Downtown Burbank retailers, or windowed shutdowns for suites near the Chandler Bikeway. We produce single-line diagrams when needed, coordinate with Burbank Water and Power for meter pulls, and provide options that balance budget, speed, and scalability. You get clear pricing and a defined path to resolution.
What We Offer
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you work after hours to avoid disrupting our business in Downtown Burbank?+
Yes. We regularly schedule night and early-morning work windows for restaurants, retailers, and offices along San Fernando Boulevard and nearby streets. We can also phase repairs by area to keep critical operations running. Let us know your access constraints and we’ll build a plan that balances speed, safety, and minimal downtime.
Do commercial electrical repairs in Burbank require a permit?+
It depends on scope. Like-for-like component replacement may be eligible for over-the-counter permits, while panel work, new circuits, or emergency system repairs typically require a permit and inspection. We evaluate each job, advise on requirements, file with the City of Burbank Building and Safety Division when needed, and schedule inspections to keep your project compliant.
Our studio equipment has flicker and audio hum—is that an electrical issue?+
Often, yes. Power-quality problems—harmonics from LED drivers, shared neutrals, or poor grounding—can cause flicker and audio interference. We use analyzers to measure THD, voltage sags, and neutral currents, then correct issues with proper grounding/bonding, dedicated circuits, or harmonic mitigation. We also verify dimmer and control compatibility to stop nuisance effects in edit bays and stages.
How fast can you respond to a tripping breaker or partial outage near the airport or Empire Center?+
For most Burbank addresses, we can dispatch same day and arrive within a defined service window. Many troubleshooting calls are resolved in 1–4 hours. If parts are needed, we source locally for same-day pickup whenever possible. For service disconnects or meter pulls, we coordinate with Burbank Water and Power to expedite restoration.
Can you handle Title 24 lighting control issues and acceptance testing?+
Yes. We diagnose noncompliant sensor layouts, misprogrammed timeclocks, and failed drivers or relays. We bring systems back to code, document settings, and coordinate Title 24 Lighting Controls Acceptance Testing through qualified technicians when required. You’ll receive a clear report and as-built notes for your records and future maintenance.
