Our Work
Benefits
Future-Proof Electrical Solutions
We design corrections that meet today’s code and anticipate tomorrow’s needs. Our team integrates networked lighting controls (Title 24-ready), smart panels with energy monitoring, surge protective devices at service/distribution, and scalable conduit/cabinet sizing for future tenants. We label circuits, update single-line diagrams, and balance phases for cleaner power to AV and POS equipment. Where appropriate, we build EV-charger readiness, solar-ready provisions, and dedicated circuits for planned kitchen or IT upgrades—so your Echo Park space stays compliant as it grows.
Code Experts for Compliance
We handle LADBS electrical permits, plan check submittals, and scheduling of rough and final inspections. Our corrections align with the California Electrical Code (based on the NEC) and City of Los Angeles amendments, plus Title 24 lighting controls and acceptance testing. For fire alarm or sprinkler tie-ins, we coordinate with LAFD and your fire-life-safety vendors. You receive an inspection-ready package: load calcs where required, updated panel schedules, equipment specs, torque logs, and as-built markups for smooth approvals.
Experienced, Trusted Workmanship
Our electricians use listed, code-compliant materials: copper THHN/THWN-2 conductors in EMT or MC where appropriate, NEMA-rated enclosures, and Siemens/Square D panels. We correct grounding and bonding with proper GECs, bonding jumpers, and labeled terminations. Every connection is torqued to manufacturer specs and documented. We test with IR thermal scans, receptacle/ground impedance testers, and circuit tracers. Labels are engraved or laminated to last in commercial environments. You get durable, clean installs that inspectors—and insurance adjusters—respect.
Custom Compliance Assessments
We start with a site walk to review correction notices, equipment, and operating hours. Then we draft a prioritized plan that sequences work to minimize downtime. Our designers perform Article 220 load calcs as needed, update single-line diagrams, and produce panel schedules. If appearance matters (e.g., historic storefronts), we propose routes that minimize visual impact while satisfying code. You’ll receive a clear scope, timeline, and permit path before we mobilize.
What We Offer
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you clear an LADBS electrical correction in Echo Park?+
Simple, non-permit items can be resolved within 1–3 days. If an electrical permit or plan check is required, typical LADBS timelines are 2–4 weeks, after which we complete work in 1–5 days depending on scope. We’ll sequence life-safety items first and request the earliest inspection to minimize operational impact.
Can you work after hours to avoid disrupting our café or retail space?+
Yes. For busy storefronts on Sunset or Glendale, we commonly schedule evening or early-morning work. We can isolate circuits, provide temporary power where feasible, and phase corrections by area. We coordinate shutoffs with LADWP if needed, and we plan noisy or dust-producing tasks outside your peak hours.
What if my building is in the Angelino Heights HPOZ?+
We respect HPOZ guidelines by routing conduits discreetly, reusing concealed paths, and matching finishes on visible surfaces. We’ll propose solutions that preserve historic facades while meeting code. If exterior work is necessary, we coordinate with ownership and, when applicable, seek approvals to balance aesthetics and compliance.
Do you coordinate with fire alarm vendors for life-safety compliance?+
Absolutely. If electrical corrections touch alarm power supplies, notification appliances, or monitoring, we’ll coordinate with your fire alarm company and LAFD as required. We schedule impairment windows, maintain egress lighting, and document as-built conditions so final sign-offs proceed smoothly without compromising safety.
