Electrical Wiring Services in Los Angeles

Updated November 2025
Reliable, code-compliant electrical wiring is the foundation of a safe, efficient home or commercial property. Whether you’re adding new circuits for modern appliances, building an ADU, upgrading an older home, or addressing overload issues, RG Electric delivers professional wiring solutions across the greater Los Angeles area. Our licensed C-10 electricians prioritize safety, clean installation practices, energy efficiency, and long-term durability—all while handling permits, inspections, and documentation for you.

Why Proper Electrical Wiring Matters in Your Home or Building

Electrical wiring forms the hidden network that powers everything in your property. Each circuit creates a complete loop: power flows from the breaker through the hot conductor to your devices or appliances, then safely returns via the neutral wire. A separate equipment grounding conductor provides a low-resistance path for fault current, allowing breakers or GFCIs to trip quickly and prevent shocks or fires.

When wiring is correctly sized, securely terminated, and protected in approved cable or conduit, your system operates efficiently and safely. Poor wiring—loose connections, overloaded circuits, deteriorated insulation, or improper grounding—leads to symptoms like flickering lights, warm outlets, frequent breaker trips, voltage drops, and increased fire risk. In Los Angeles, where many homes date back decades and now support high-demand devices like EVs, home offices, and smart systems, updating wiring is often essential for safety and performance.

Comprehensive Wiring Services for Los Angeles Properties

RG Electric provides full-spectrum wiring services for residential and multi-unit properties throughout LA County. We specialize in new circuit installations, extensions, partial or complete rewires, and code corrections. Common projects include:

• Dedicated circuits for kitchens, laundry rooms, home theaters, and workshops
• High-amperage lines for electric ranges, dryers, EV chargers, and tankless water heaters
• Sub-panel installations for ADUs, garages, or additions
• Whole-home surge protection integration
• Data and low-voltage wiring for networks, security systems, and smart home setups

We use premium materials, route cables neatly, secure them properly, and label every circuit and junction box for future reference. Homeowners receive detailed photos and documentation. For commercial or large-scale needs, explore our commercial electrical services.

Safe Rewiring for Older Los Angeles Homes

Many Los Angeles neighborhoods feature homes built before the 1970s with outdated wiring systems—knob-and-tube, cloth-insulated conductors, or aluminum branch circuits. These can become brittle, unsafe under modern loads, or non-compliant with current NEC standards.

Our team performs minimally invasive rewires: we carefully map existing routes, fish new Romex or MC cable through walls and attics, avoid unnecessary demolition, and restore drywall or plaster neatly. We also address common legacy issues like shared neutrals, ungrounded outlets, and undersized service entrances. Often, a rewiring project pairs perfectly with an electrical panel upgrade to accommodate today’s power demands safely.

Specialized Wiring for Pools, Spas, and Outdoor Features

Outdoor electrical installations require extra precautions due to moisture, UV exposure, and physical damage risks. For pools, spas, fountains, and landscape systems, we install proper equipotential bonding grids, GFCI-protected circuits, weatherproof enclosures, and correctly sized feeders.

We bury conduit at code depth, use direct-burial cable where appropriate, and ensure all equipment meets Los Angeles swimming pool electrical requirements. Combine these circuits with professional outdoor lighting for enhanced safety and ambiance around patios, walkways, and entries.

Signs You May Need Wiring Repairs or Upgrades

Don’t ignore these common indicators of underlying wiring issues:

• Lights flickering or dimming when appliances turn on
• Warm, discolored, or buzzing outlets and switches
• Frequent circuit breaker trips or blown fuses
• Burning smells or scorch marks near devices
• Power tools losing speed or electronics resetting unexpectedly
• Two-prong ungrounded outlets in older rooms

These problems are often resolved by load balancing, dedicated circuit additions, conductor repairs, or device replacements. Persistent panel overheating may require circuit breaker evaluation or sub-panel installation.

Our Step-by-Step Wiring Process

We make every project straightforward and stress-free:

1. Initial Consultation – Send photos of your panel (door open), sub-panels, and target areas. We discuss your needs and provide a detailed estimate.
2. Planning & Permitting – We design the optimal routing, select appropriate materials, and pull required LADBS permits.
3. Installation – Our crew protects your floors and furniture, installs wiring to exact code standards, torques all connections, and tests every circuit.
4. Inspection & Closeout – We coordinate and pass city inspection, update your panel directory, and supply labeled photos plus as-built documentation.

Typical Costs and Project Timelines

Costs vary based on run length, accessibility (attic/crawlspace vs. finished walls), conduit requirements, drywall patching, and any necessary panel work. Simple dedicated circuit additions often complete in one day; full-home rewires span several days to weeks depending on size and finishes.
