Electrician in Torrance

RG Electric is a licensed, bonded, and insured electrical contractor serving Torrance, California. We provide safe, code-compliant electrical services for homeowners, property managers, and commercial property owners who need reliable electrical systems that meet current standards.

Torrance has a wide mix of older homes, apartment buildings, and commercial properties that were not designed to handle today’s electrical demand. As buildings age, electrical systems often fall behind modern code requirements and insurance expectations, even if they appear to be functioning.

RG Electric specializes in identifying electrical hazards, correcting code violations, and completing permit-ready electrical work that passes inspection. Our electricians focus on long-term safety, reliability, and clear communication, helping property owners avoid last-minute emergencies and compliance issues.

Common Electrical Issues in Torrance Properties

Many Torrance properties experience electrical problems tied to aging infrastructure and increased power usage. Homes and apartment buildings built decades ago were not designed for modern appliances, HVAC systems, EV chargers, or expanded electrical loads.

We frequently encounter flickering lights, frequently tripping breakers, partial power outages, worn outlets, missing GFCI protection, overloaded circuits, and panels that no longer meet current safety or insurance standards.

In multi-unit properties, these issues are often discovered during insurance reviews, HOA inspections, or tenant complaints. Addressing problems early helps reduce fire risk, prevent system failures, and avoid delays caused by failed inspections.

Electrical Panel Upgrades in Torrance

Electrical panel upgrades are one of the most important services we provide in Torrance. Many properties still rely on outdated panels that were never designed to handle modern electrical demand or increased usage.

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

Upgrading an outdated panel improves system stability, increases capacity for future upgrades, and helps property owners remain compliant with insurance and inspection requirements. For apartment buildings, panel upgrades also reduce liability and tenant safety concerns.

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. Torrance homeowners and business owners commonly contact us for outlets that stop working, circuits that trip repeatedly, or unexplained power loss.

RG Electric performs structured diagnostics to identify the root cause of the issue, not just the symptom. This approach helps prevent repeat failures and ensures repairs are completed correctly the first time.

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

Electrical Replacements and Safety Upgrades

Many Torrance properties require electrical replacements rather than repairs. Outdated outlets, switches, and fixtures can loosen, overheat, or fail to provide adequate protection against electrical faults.

RG Electric replaces electrical components with modern, code-compliant materials, including GFCI outlets where required and tamper-resistant receptacles for improved safety. These upgrades are especially important in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas.

We do not repair electrical devices or fixtures. Replacement ensures safety, compliance, and long-term reliability for both residential and commercial properties.

Electrical Installations in Torrance

RG Electric provides professional electrical installations for Torrance homes and businesses, including lighting upgrades, dedicated circuits, whole-house surge protection, and EV charger installations.

EV charger installations require dedicated circuits and sufficient panel capacity. In many cases, panel or subpanel upgrades are required before installation can be completed safely and according to code.

Our electricians evaluate your existing electrical system and recommend solutions that support both current needs and future expansion.

Electrical Services for Property Managers and HOAs

Property managers and HOA boards in Torrance often face electrical requirements driven by insurance carriers and city inspections. Outdated panels, missing safety protections, and unpermitted work can delay approvals or put coverage at risk.

RG Electric provides permit-ready work, certificates of insurance when required, and clear communication throughout every project. Our experience with multi-unit properties helps managers plan upgrades proactively instead of responding to emergencies.

Emergency Electrical Services in Torrance

Electrical emergencies such as burning smells, buzzing panels, sparking outlets, or sudden power loss should never be ignored. These conditions often indicate serious hazards.
