Electrician in Northridge

RG Electric is a licensed, bonded, and insured electrical contractor serving Northridge and the surrounding San Fernando Valley. We work with homeowners, property managers, and multi-unit building owners who need safe, code-compliant electrical work performed correctly the first time.

Northridge has a wide mix of older homes, apartment buildings, and commercial properties, many of which still rely on outdated panels, aging wiring, or electrical systems that no longer meet current California code or insurance requirements. RG Electric helps property owners stay compliant, reduce fire risk, and avoid inspection or insurance issues.

Whether you are dealing with an electrical outage, planning a panel upgrade, or managing a multi-unit property, our team provides clear communication, proper permits, and professional workmanship backed by experience.

Common Electrical Issues in Northridge

Many properties in Northridge were built decades ago, long before today’s electrical demands and safety standards. As a result, we frequently encounter systems that are undersized, improperly modified, or no longer acceptable under current codes.

Some of the most common electrical problems we see in Northridge homes and buildings include frequent breaker tripping, partial power outages, overheating panels, outdated outlets, missing GFCI protection, and wiring that lacks proper grounding. In multi-unit properties, these issues are often compounded by tenant usage and years of unpermitted work.

These problems are not just inconveniences. They can lead to fire hazards, failed inspections, and insurance coverage complications if left unaddressed.

Electrical Panel Upgrades in Northridge

Electrical panel upgrades are one of the most important services we provide in Northridge. Many properties still contain outdated or recalled panels that are known to be fire hazards or are flagged by insurance companies.

RG Electric regularly replaces unsafe panels such as Zinsco, Federal Pacific (FPE), Challenger, and Pushmatic. These panels may still appear to function, but they often fail to trip properly and no longer meet modern safety or insurance standards.

We handle panel replacements and subpanel upgrades for single-family homes, apartment buildings, and commercial properties. Our team manages permits, coordinates inspections, and ensures the installation meets all applicable California and local codes.

Electrical Repairs for Homes and Businesses

Electrical repairs are often the first reason customers contact us. A kitchen losing power, outlets no longer working, or breakers constantly tripping are common signs of deeper electrical issues.

RG Electric performs professional diagnostics to identify the root cause of the problem, not just the symptom. Once the issue is identified, we provide a clear explanation and a straightforward estimate before any repair work begins.

Our repair services are available for both residential and commercial properties and are performed with safety, code compliance, and long-term reliability in mind.

Electrical Replacements and Safety Upgrades

In many Northridge properties, outdated electrical components need to be replaced rather than repaired. This includes old outlets, switches, fixtures, and devices that no longer meet current safety standards.

We install GFCI outlets where required, upgrade outlets to tamper-resistant models for child safety, correct grounding issues, and replace worn or damaged electrical components. These upgrades help reduce shock hazards, improve reliability, and bring properties closer to full code compliance.

All replacements are performed according to code, and we do not cut corners or perform unsafe shortcut work.

Electrical Installations in Northridge

RG Electric handles a wide range of electrical installations for Northridge properties. This includes lighting replacements, dedicated circuits, surge protection, and EV charger installations.

EV chargers are becoming increasingly common in Northridge. By code, these chargers require dedicated circuits and properly sized panels. We assess your existing electrical system and install EV charging equipment safely and correctly.
