About Bell Gardens

First Electric provides residential and commercial electrical services in Bell Gardens, CA. Bell Gardens's mid-century homes built during the post-World War II boom typically have 60 to 100-amp electrical panels that struggle with modern demands including multiple air conditioning units, home offices, EV chargers, and smart home devices. Many homeowners discover their panels are at capacity when adding appliances, installing EV chargers, or undertaking remodels. We specialize in upgrading mid-century homes while preserving architectural character, updating outdated wiring, installing GFCI and AFCI protection, and ensuring systems meet current California Electrical Code. We handle all Bell Gardens permit applications.

Service Questions

What electrical updates are typically needed in a remodel?

Kitchens and baths usually need dedicated appliance circuits, GFCI/AFCI protection, updated lighting/switching, and enough receptacle spacing for the finished layout. We design to the CEC and your cabinet/fixture plans so inspection is not a surprise.

Do kitchens and laundry rooms need GFCI?

Yes under CEC/NEC 210.8 for dwelling units — kitchen countertop receptacles and laundry areas require GFCI protection. Refrigerator circuits have specific rules depending on the adopted code cycle; we apply what your inspector enforces.

Are GFCI outlets required in older homes?

Existing untouched circuits may be grandfathered until modified. When we remodel a kitchen or bath, replace receptacles in GFCI-required locations, or add circuits, the CEC generally requires GFCI protection for those outlets. Upgrading GFCI/AFCI during a remodel is both a code and safety win.

"I had a previous electrician give a very high quote to fix my ceiling fan/light so I wanted to get another quote. Michael was very responsive and we were able to quickly schedule an appointment to easily fix the problem at a fair price. If you're looking for an electrician in La Mirada, I'd highly recommend Michael at First Electric!"
