Electrician in Long Beach

RG Electric is a licensed, bonded, and insured electrical contractor serving Long Beach, California. We provide safe, code-compliant electrical services for homeowners, property managers, and commercial property owners throughout the area.

Long Beach includes a wide range of older homes, apartment buildings, and commercial properties that often require electrical upgrades to meet modern safety standards and insurance requirements. Aging infrastructure, increased electrical demand, and unpermitted modifications are common challenges throughout the city.

RG Electric specializes in identifying unsafe electrical conditions, correcting code violations, and completing permit-ready electrical work that passes inspection. Whether you are managing a multi-unit building or maintaining a residential property, our focus is long-term safety, reliability, and clear communication.

Common Electrical Issues in Long Beach

Many Long Beach properties were built decades ago and were never designed to support today’s electrical usage. Over time, panels, wiring, and electrical components wear out or are modified without permits, creating hidden safety risks.

We frequently encounter flickering lights, frequent breaker trips, partial power outages, outdated outlets, missing GFCI protection, overloaded circuits, and electrical panels that no longer meet current code or insurance standards.

These issues are often uncovered during insurance reviews, real estate transactions, or city inspections. Addressing them early helps reduce fire hazards, avoid inspection delays, and prevent costly emergency electrical repairs.

Electrical Panel Upgrades in Long Beach

Electrical panel upgrades are one of the most important services we provide in Long Beach. Many homes and apartment buildings still rely on outdated panels that were never designed to handle modern appliances, EV chargers, or increased electrical demand.

RG Electric regularly replaces unsafe and outdated electrical panels, including Zinsco, Federal Pacific (FPE), Challenger, and Pushmatic panels. These panels are known fire hazards and are frequently flagged by insurance companies and inspectors, even when they appear to be functioning.

Upgrading outdated panels improves electrical reliability, reduces liability, and helps property owners remain compliant with insurance and inspection requirements.

We perform main panel replacements and subpanel upgrades for residential homes, apartment complexes, and commercial properties. Our team handles permits, coordinates inspections, and ensures all work complies with current California electrical code.

Electrical Repairs for Homes and Businesses

Electrical repairs are often the first sign of deeper system problems. Long Beach homeowners and business owners commonly contact us for outlets that stop working, circuits that trip repeatedly, or unexplained power loss.

RG Electric performs professional diagnostics to identify the root cause of the issue, not just the symptom. We explain what is happening, why it matters, and what is required to correct the problem safely and permanently.

All diagnostic and repair work is evaluated against current California electrical code and inspection standards, especially in older Long Beach buildings where hidden hazards are common.

Electrical Replacements and Safety Upgrades

Many Long Beach properties require electrical replacements rather than repairs. This includes outdated outlets, switches, fixtures, and components that no longer meet modern safety requirements.

RG Electric installs modern, code-compliant electrical components, including GFCI outlets where required and tamper-resistant receptacles for improved safety. These upgrades help reduce shock hazards and improve overall system reliability.

We replace electrical fixtures and devices rather than attempting unsafe or temporary repairs.

Electrical Installations in Long Beach

RG Electric provides professional electrical installations for Long Beach homes and businesses, including lighting upgrades, dedicated circuits, surge protection, and EV charger installations.
