Wiring Services

What wiring really does in your home

Every circuit is a loop that carries current from a breaker to a load and safely back on the neutral, with a separate equipment grounding path for faults. When a circuit is properly sized, terminated to the correct breaker, and routed in listed cable or conduit, breakers can protect people and equipment the way they were designed. When connections loosen, insulation deteriorates, or too many devices share one circuit, you see dimming lights, hot outlets, nuisance trips, and in the worst cases, arcing and fire risk.

Our wiring services, tailored for Los Angeles properties

We handle new circuits, additions, and full or partial rewiring for houses, condos, and multi-unit buildings. Typical scopes include kitchen and laundry circuits, EV charger and range upgrades, ADU sub-panels, dedicated circuits for HVAC and servers, and safe rewiring in older plaster or knob-and-tube areas. We label everything clearly and provide photos for your records. For larger projects, see our commercial electrical services.

Rewiring older homes, aluminum and cloth insulation

Much of LA’s housing stock predates modern load demands. We routinely replace brittle cloth-covered conductors, correct mixed neutrals and grounds, and make safe transitions where aluminum branch circuits exist. Our approach is minimally invasive: we plan routes carefully, use existing chases where possible, and patch neatly. If your main panel is a legacy brand or undersized, we may recommend a panel upgrade to support new circuits safely.

Pools, spas, and outdoor wiring

Water and electricity demand careful planning. For pools and hot tubs we verify bonding, install GFCI protection, and provide properly sized feeders and sub-panels with clear labeling. We route conduit to protect against impact and UV, and we coordinate inspections so your equipment can start up on schedule. Pair outdoor circuits with outdoor lighting for safe paths and entries.

Common symptoms that point to wiring problems

Flickering or dimming when large appliances start, warm or discolored outlets, buzzing switches, a persistent burning smell, or breakers that trip repeatedly are warning signs. Power tools that sag or electronics that reset under load often indicate voltage drop or overloaded general-purpose circuits. These issues are fixable: we balance loads, add dedicated circuits, repair damaged conductors, and replace worn devices. For frequent breaker trips and heat at the panel, we evaluate the bus and may recommend circuit breaker service or a new sub-panel.

Our process, from estimate to final inspection

Start by sharing photos of your main panel with the door open, any sub-panels, and the areas you want served. We confirm scope and provide a clear estimate. On site we protect finishes, map existing circuits, and pull the necessary permits. New wiring is sized for the continuous load, routed in listed cable or conduit, and supported at proper intervals. We test GFCI and AFCI devices where required, torque terminations to listing, and update your panel directory. We meet the inspector and close out with labeled photos for your files.

Costs and timeline

Pricing depends on circuit length, in-wall versus surface-mounted runs, attic or crawlspace access, patching needs, and whether a panel or sub-panel upgrade is required. Many single-circuit additions finish the same day once on site; multi-room rewires vary by walls and finishes. To speed quoting, include distances, desired outlet or equipment locations, and any known issues like tripping breakers or warm receptacles when you request an estimate.

Related services

Plan wiring work alongside complementary upgrades for best results: electrical panel upgrades, EV charger circuits, indoor lighting, outdoor lighting, and emergency electrical repairs.

Frequently asked questions

In most cases yes. We pull permits, meet the inspector, and provide documentation at closeout.

Often. We use attics, crawlspaces, and strategic access points to minimize patching, then repair small openings neatly.

Aluminum requires special terminations and care. We make safe transitions and replace or reterminate where needed to reduce heat and looseness over time.

That is often voltage drop or an overloaded circuit. We balance loads, add dedicated circuits, or upsize conductors for long runs.
