Commercial Breaker Panel Service & Maintenance in Venice

In coastal zones like Venice, we recommend annual panel maintenance, or semi‑annual if your equipment experiences heavy loads (restaurants, refrigerated retail). Salt air accelerates corrosion, so regular cleaning, torque checks, and inspections are vital. For newer, climate‑controlled interiors with low loads, a 18–24‑month interval may be acceptable—paired with an annual infrared scan to catch emerging hot spots.

Routine maintenance—tightening, cleaning, breaker testing, labeling—does not require a permit. If we replace the entire panel, increase ampacity, relocate service equipment, or add new circuits, LADBS permits and inspections will be required. Exterior service changes in the Venice Coastal Zone may also require Coastal Commission review. We’ll advise and manage all permitting if upgrades are needed.

Yes. We frequently schedule early mornings, late nights, or mid‑afternoon lulls for Abbot Kinney shops, boardwalk retailers, and restaurants near Washington Boulevard. A typical panel service takes 2–4 hours, and we coordinate lockout/tagout, backup power needs, and communication with staff to minimize disruption. You’ll know exactly when the power will be off and when it will return.

Frequent breaker trips, warm or discolored breakers, a buzzing or crackling sound, a burning odor, or visible corrosion warrant immediate service. In Venice, white salt residue inside enclosures or rusted hardware are red flags. If you notice flickering lights when equipment starts, that can indicate loose terminations or an overloaded panel. Call us for a fast assessment.

Absolutely. We maintain main switchboards, distribution panels, and tenant subpanels, and we can coordinate with property managers, HOAs, and LADWP for safe meter pulls when needed. We can also add panel SPDs, improve labeling and directories across suites, and provide submetering or monitoring to help allocate energy costs accurately.
