Residential Complete Electrical Rewiring in Echo Park
Live in a Victorian on Carroll Avenue or a craftsman bungalow near Echo Park Lake that still has aging wiring? Shaffer Construction, Inc. delivers meticulous, code-compliant whole-home rewiring tailored to Echo Park's historic housing stock and busy, lived-in homes. We protect your plaster and finishes, coordinate permits with LADBS, and keep essential power on so daily life continues. From undersized panels to ungrounded outlets, we replace risky, inefficient systems with modern, safe wiring—designed for today's loads, smart tech, and future upgrades like EV charging. Expect clear communication, clean worksites, and on-time inspections.
Our Work
Benefits
Modern Systems for Modern Living
We future‑proof your rewire with dedicated circuits for HVAC, induction cooking, and home-office loads; whole‑home surge protection; and AFCI/GFCI protection. We can rough‑in conduit for EV charging, battery storage, or solar-ready interconnections, and integrate smart panels (SPAN, Schneider Wiser) or load‑management devices. Low‑voltage options include Cat6 data, PoE for cameras, and structured media panels—concealed cleanly to preserve historic interiors while keeping upgrade paths open.
Meeting All Compliance Codes
Shaffer Construction manages the entire permitting process with LADBS, prepares panel schedules and load calculations, and meets California Electrical Code, Title 24, and Los Angeles amendments. We handle rough and final inspections, coordinate LADWP service upgrades, and protect historic exteriors when HPOZ rules apply. Expect labeled circuits, panel directories, and test documentation that make maintenance and future additions straightforward and compliant.
Expert Workmanship Every Time
Our licensed electricians use UL‑listed materials—Eaton/Siemens/Square D panels, THHN/THWN conductors in EMT where required, and NM‑B or MC cable where permitted. We install tamper‑resistant, properly grounded receptacles, metal boxes where needed, and neat, secure supports. Arc‑fault and ground‑fault protection, bonding of metal piping and gas lines, and robust grounding electrodes (including Ufer where present) come standard. Clean, organized wiring and meticulous terminations mean safer systems with fewer callbacks.
Customized Rewiring Solutions
Every rewire begins with a detailed assessment: panel capacity, device counts, circuit mapping, and finish preservation strategy. We draft a room‑by‑room circuit plan tailored to your appliances, lighting preferences, and future needs. For historic interiors, we prioritize attic and crawlspace fishing, strategic device placement, and patch‑minimizing techniques. You receive a clear scope, schedule, and phasing plan that fits your occupancy and budget.
What We Offer
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to move out during a complete rewire in Echo Park?+
Usually not. We phase the work so essential circuits—refrigeration, Wi‑Fi, basic lighting—remain powered. We set dust barriers, work room‑by‑room, and coordinate short outages for panel tie‑ins. Larger homes or extensive plaster repair might benefit from a short stay elsewhere, but most projects are completed with homeowners on site.
How do permits and inspections work with LADBS and HPOZ in Angelino Heights?+
We submit your permit to LADBS, schedule rough and final inspections, and coordinate LADWP for any service upgrade. If your home falls within the Angelino Heights HPOZ, we review visibility of exterior electrical components and follow the Office of Historic Resources guidelines to preserve historic character while meeting code.
