Benefits

Modern Electrical Solutions

We future‑proof your home’s power with scalable designs: dedicated 20A circuits for home offices, 240V capacity for induction cooking and EV charging, and spare conduit paths from panel to garage for later additions. We deploy smart load centers and energy monitors (e.g., app‑enabled breakers, whole‑home surge protection) for insight and control. Meticulous load calculations, voltage‑drop considerations, and panel schedule updates ensure today’s upgrade won’t limit your next one.

Guaranteed Code Compliance

Shaffer Construction manages your Culver City electrical permit end‑to‑end. We design to the California Electrical Code (based on the NEC), Title 24, and local amendments—ensuring GFCI in garages/outdoors, AFCI in habitable spaces, and tamper‑resistant receptacles where required. We submit documentation, coordinate inspections with the City of Culver City Building and Safety Division, and provide as‑built labeling so your panel and receptacles clearly indicate dedicated circuits for inspectors and future service.

Highly Skilled Craftsmanship

We use top‑tier materials—copper conductors sized correctly (12 AWG for 20A, 10 AWG for 30A, 8 AWG for 40A and up as required), THHN/THWN in EMT conduit for garages and exteriors, and spec‑grade or locking receptacles where appropriate. Our techs torque lugs to manufacturer specs, secure cables within code spacing, and maintain proper clearances. Thermal imaging and verification tests confirm solid connections and balanced loads. Clean routing, neat bends, and thorough labeling deliver a professional finish you can trust.

Personalized Planning and Design

Every home is different. We start with an on‑site assessment of appliance specs, panel capacity, and routing options through attics, crawl spaces, or finished walls. We evaluate drywall vs. plaster, stucco penetrations, and HOA constraints, then draft a circuit plan with breaker size, wire gauge, and receptacle type (NEMA 5‑20R, 6‑20R, 14‑50R, or hardwire). You’ll get a clear scope, fixed pricing per circuit, and a schedule that minimizes downtime and disruption.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit in Culver City to add a dedicated circuit?+

Yes. The City of Culver City Building and Safety Division requires an electrical permit for new circuits. We handle the application and inspection scheduling for you. Simple residential dedicated circuits often move quickly, with permitting and inspection typically completed within 1–3 weeks, depending on City workload and your availability.

My home has plaster walls. Can you add a new circuit without major damage?+

Yes. We specialize in minimally invasive methods for plaster-and-lath and stucco. We route through attics, crawl spaces, or garages, core precise openings, use fish tapes and flexible bits, and patch small access points. Exterior runs may use EMT conduit painted to match. Our goal is a clean install that preserves your home’s character.

Will my dedicated circuit need GFCI or AFCI protection?+

It depends on the location and use. California Electrical Code generally requires GFCI in garages, outdoors, bathrooms, and near sinks; AFCI is required in most habitable areas. Some appliances specify breaker type as well. We design to code and manufacturer instructions, selecting standard, GFCI, or combination AFCI/GFCI breakers or receptacles as appropriate.

Can my older 100A service support an induction range or EV charger?+

Sometimes, but not always. We perform a load calculation to determine feasibility. An induction range often needs a 40–50A circuit; a Level 2 EV charger can draw 30–50A. If the calculation is tight, options include load management devices, a smart breaker solution, or a service/panel upgrade. We’ll present the safest, most cost‑effective path.

I live in a Fox Hills condo with an HOA. How do you handle approvals?+

We provide a packet with scope, spec sheets, routing diagrams, and insurance certificates your HOA typically requires. We coordinate common‑area access, work hours, and inspection timing to respect building rules. Once approved, we obtain the City permit and complete the installation with minimal disruption to neighbors.
