Electrician in Tarzana

If you need a licensed electrician in Tarzana, RG Electric provides code compliant electrical repairs, panel upgrades, safety replacements, and new installations for homeowners, property managers, and select commercial properties. We’re built for the realities of Los Angeles area electrical work, older homes, remodels, multi unit buildings, and insurance driven upgrades that have to be done correctly.

Tarzana has a wide mix of properties, including older ranch style homes, remodeled family homes, hillside pockets, and multi unit buildings along major corridors. Many electrical systems have been expanded over time, sometimes with a patchwork of past repairs. When you combine that with modern demand from HVAC, kitchens, pool and spa equipment, home offices, and EV chargers, electrical capacity and safety become real concerns, even when “everything seems to work.”

RG Electric is licensed, bonded, and insured. We follow code to the teeth, we don’t cut corners, and we explain what we find so you understand why the work is needed and what options make the most sense.

Common electrical issues in Tarzana

Many service calls in Tarzana start with one symptom, then uncover a bigger cause. A kitchen outlet stops working, a bedroom loses power, breakers start tripping more often, or lights flicker when the AC kicks on. These problems can point to overloaded circuits, failing breakers, worn outlets, loose connections, or wiring that is no longer in good condition.

In older homes, we also see missing GFCI protection near water, improper grounding, outdated panels, and previous work that was not done to current standards. In homes with pools, spas, or outdoor lighting, weather exposure and age can create additional safety risks if devices and connections are not properly protected.

If you notice warm outlets, buzzing, burning smells, repeated trips, or partial power loss, don’t ignore it. Those are warning signs that should be evaluated by a licensed electrician. Always consult a licensed electrician like RG Electric before working on electrical systems.

Electrical panel upgrades in Tarzana

Electrical panels are one of the most important safety components in any property. In Tarzana, panel upgrades are often needed when a home is remodeled, when new loads are added, or when insurance requires an outdated panel to be replaced. A panel can look “fine” from the outside while still being a fire risk, an inspection problem, or simply too small for modern usage.

RG Electric provides professional electrical panel services, including main panel replacements, subpanel upgrades, and breaker related corrections when appropriate. We’re experienced with older, higher risk panel types commonly found in Los Angeles area properties, and we help you understand what’s installed, what the risks are, and what a code compliant upgrade should include.

If your panel shows corrosion, scorching, a burning smell, unusual heat, buzzing or crackling sounds, or breakers that will not reset, treat it as urgent. The safest next step is a professional evaluation and a clear plan, not a temporary workaround.

Electrical repairs for homes and businesses

When something stops working, the goal is not just to get power back on, it’s to make sure the fix is safe and durable. RG Electric provides reliable electrical repair services in Tarzana, including troubleshooting shorts, restoring power to dead circuits, correcting loose connections, replacing failed outlets and switches, and addressing nuisance tripping.

We also correct problems caused by unqualified electrical work. A common issue we see is the wrong type of outlet installed in the wrong place, like a standard receptacle where a GFCI is required. These are not “minor” mistakes, they can be serious safety hazards and they can create inspection and insurance problems later.

Note on devices and fixtures: in many cases, items like ceiling fans and light fixtures are replaced rather than repaired internally. If the safest path is replacement, we’ll explain why and help you choose an appropriate option.

Electrical replacements and safety upgrades

Safety upgrades are often the fastest way to reduce risk in Tarzana homes and rentals. This includes replacing worn outlets and switches, upgrading protection near water, improving grounding, and correcting common code issues that show up during remodels or inspections.

GFCI protection, which stands for Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter, is required in many areas where moisture is present, such as kitchens, bathrooms, garages, laundry areas, and outdoor locations. If your Tarzana home still has older outlets near sinks or outside that are not properly protected, upgrading them is a straightforward step toward a safer electrical system.

For outlet and switch replacements, troubleshooting, and code compliant upgrades, visit our electrical switches and outlets service page.

We also install whole home surge protection in appropriate situations, especially when homeowners are investing in electronics, HVAC equipment, or a home office setup. Learn more about whole house surge protectors.

Electrical installations in Tarzana

Tarzana homeowners often upgrade lighting, add circuits during remodels, and install higher demand equipment. RG Electric handles electrical installations that are planned correctly and completed to code, including dedicated circuits, indoor and outdoor lighting, and EV charging support.

If you’re adding an EV charger, the electrical work matters as much as the charger itself. EV charging typically requires a dedicated circuit and proper capacity planning at the panel. We’ll evaluate your setup and recommend a safe, code compliant approach. Learn more about our EV charger installation services.

If your project involves new wiring runs, upgrades during a remodel, or planning for future loads, our team can also support broader wiring scope. See our wiring services page for details.

Commercial and multi unit electrical services

RG Electric has strong experience with multi unit buildings and commercial electrical work across Los Angeles. In Tarzana, we support building owners, property managers, and businesses that need reliable communication, inspection ready work, and professional documentation.

Our commercial electrical services include panel and subpanel upgrades, lighting improvements, code corrections, dedicated circuits for equipment, and troubleshooting that minimizes disruption for tenants and customers. If your project requires permits or a certificate of insurance, we understand what commercial clients need and we keep the process straightforward.

Electrical services for property managers and HOAs

If you manage apartments, condos, or HOA properties in Tarzana, electrical work is often tied to liability and compliance, not just convenience. Insurance carriers increasingly flag outdated panels and unsafe electrical conditions, and city inspections can reveal issues that delay a project if they are not handled correctly.

RG Electric is a good fit for property managers because we communicate clearly, we provide clean estimates, and we complete work to current standards. Whether you need a panel replacement program, unit turn electrical corrections, GFCI upgrades, or fast troubleshooting for tenant complaints, we help you move quickly without cutting corners.

Emergency electrical services

When there’s a sudden outage, burning smell, sparking outlet, or repeated breaker trips that won’t stop, you may be dealing with a serious hazard. RG Electric provides emergency electrical repairs for urgent problems in Tarzana and nearby areas, based on availability.

If you believe there is an immediate danger, turn off power to the affected area if it is safe to do so and contact a licensed electrician right away.
