Brea issues we see with pre-purchase electrical inspection
- Overloaded 100A services: dryer, AC, and kitchen trip the main when they run together
- Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or Pushmatic panels that still turn up here: warm breakers or a main that will not stay reset
- Aluminum or ungrounded branch circuits: two-prong rooms that fail a buyer inspection
- Shared neutrals and kitchens remodeled without a service upgrade: lights flicker when the laundry starts
- Dead outlets and GFCI that will not hold after a storm or a bathroom remodel
About Brea
First Electric is a licensed C-10 shop based in La Mirada (C-10 #1120441). We cover homes and small commercial suites across Brea: Downtown Brea, East Brea, and West Brea.
People call when something stopped working: a dead receptacle, a breaker that will not hold, half a house dark, or a panel that feels warm. We fix that first. When the service is maxed out (no spare slots, unsafe gear, or load that will not support an ADU or Level 2 charger), we plan the upgrade honestly and pull the permit. Fire or life-safety emergency? Call 911 first, then us.

Service Questions
A safety inspection reviews outlets, GFCI/AFCI protection, grounding, panel condition, visible wiring hazards, and common safety issues so you know what is unsafe before it fails. We document findings in plain English and prioritize what should be fixed first.
A panel inspection focuses on the service equipment: breakers, bus condition, double-taps, corrosion, grounding/bonding, labeling, and whether the panel can safely support your loads. It is the right first step before a panel upgrade quote.
Yes. Before you buy a home or small commercial property, we inspect the electrical system for deal-breakers: outdated panels, aluminum branch wiring red flags, overloaded services, and obvious hazards, so you can negotiate or budget with facts.
Often yes for straightforward repairs when the schedule allows. Call (657) 239-6331; we diagnose on site and write a custom quote before parts go in. Hazardous conditions get priority.
Yes. We replace overloaded panels, upgrade services when needed, and coordinate inspections. Every job is different. We provide a custom quote after we see your site. Typical panel upgrade projects often start around $4,957 in labor (14 hours at our standard rate) before materials, permits, and scope; there is no one-size-fits-all maximum.
