What We Offer
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit in Culver City for electrical corrections?+
Most corrections beyond simple device replacements require an electrical permit from the City of Culver City Building and Safety Division. Panel replacements, service upgrades, new circuits, and life-safety work typically need permits and inspections. Minor like-for-like device swaps may not, but we’ll verify case-by-case and handle the permit process so your project stays compliant.
How long will code corrections take and will my business need to close?+
Most correction scopes complete in 1–5 days. We plan phased or after-hours work to limit disruption—often keeping your business open while we isolate areas. Brief power shutdowns are scheduled in advance, typically early morning or late evening, and we provide temporary lighting or power where needed to maintain operations.
What are the most common violations you see in Culver City?+
Frequent issues include mislabeled or obsolete panels, missing GFCI protection at sinks, improper grounding/bonding, open junction boxes, overloaded circuits, and non-commissioned Title 24 lighting controls. In older buildings, we also encounter deteriorated outdoor enclosures and corroded conduit, plus exit/egress lighting that fails foot-candle or functional tests.
Can you help with Title 24 acceptance testing and documentation?+
Yes. We program occupancy/vacancy sensors, daylighting zones, and time controls to meet required sequences and perform acceptance testing. We provide the completed forms and supporting photos/data for closeout, ensuring your lighting system passes inspection and operates efficiently.
Do you coordinate with the utility for service upgrades?+
When corrections involve service capacity or meter changes, we coordinate with the serving utility and the City for clearances and cutovers. We handle scheduling, required drawings, and onsite support during the switchover to minimize downtime.
