Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit to replace outlets and switches in Culver City?+

Simple like-for-like device replacements typically don’t require a permit. If you’re adding new outlets, relocating switches, running new circuits, or modifying your panel, Culver City’s Building and Safety Division generally requires permits and inspections. We’ll confirm your project scope, file permits as needed, and coordinate inspections. Most permits for small residential work move in 1–3 weeks.

Can you convert my two-prong outlets in a 1930s bungalow to three-prong safely?+

Yes. We test for an existing grounding path (such as metal conduit). If none exists, options include installing GFCI protection with “No Equipment Ground” labeling, or running new grounded circuits for full compliance. We’ll discuss pros/cons, costs, and, if needed, panel updates to ensure safety without damaging original plaster or tile.

Will smart dimmers work with my LED fixtures without flicker?+

They can—when matched correctly. We specify dimmers compatible with your LED drivers, set low-end trim to prevent flicker, and, in older homes without a neutral, use systems like Lutron Caséta that can operate reliably. We’ll test a sample location first and recommend dimmable bulbs certified for use with the chosen dimmer.
