Quick answer
Do you rewire homes in Commerce?
Yes when the branch wiring itself is the problem (aluminum, ungrounded, cloth), not only the panel. We cover Commerce from our La Mirada shop. We scope panel-only versus rewire-heavy after a walkthrough. Every job is different. We provide a custom quote after we see your site. Typical whole-home rewire or major upgrade projects often start around $9,913 in labor (28 hours at our standard rate) before materials, permits, and scope; there is no one-size-fits-all maximum. Call (657) 239-6331.

Whole-home rewires in Residential Commerce fix aluminum or ungrounded branch circuits when that is the root problem. A panel change alone does not fix rooms that fail inspection. We quote after a walkthrough.

Commerce issues we see with electrical upgrades
- Warehouse and flex-space panels that run hot or trip under tenant machinery load
- Tenant-suite faults: dead circuits before opening, no spare slots for TI work
- Overloaded residential services in nearby tracts: dryer and AC trip the main together
- Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or Pushmatic panels that still turn up in mid-century houses: warm breakers or a main that will not stay reset
- Dead outlets and GFCI that will not hold after a remodel or storm
About Commerce
First Electric is a licensed C-10 shop based in La Mirada (C-10 #1120441). We cover homes and small commercial suites across Commerce: Downtown Commerce, Industrial District, and Residential Commerce.
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.
How a major upgrade / rewire goes
Walk the house
We look at the panel, accessible wiring, and problem rooms. You get an honest scope: partial vs whole-home, and whether the panel must change too.
Written plan and quote
Every job is different. We provide a custom quote after we see your site. Includes what walls or ceilings we expect to open, sequencing, and how we keep parts of the house livable when possible.
Permit and protect
We pull permits, protect floors and finished areas, and stage the work so inspection milestones are clear.
Pull wire, device, inspect
New circuits, grounding, AFCI/GFCI where required, devices, and final testing before city sign-off.
Timeline
Partial upgrades may take a few days. Whole-home rewires often run longer depending on access, finishes, and inspection cycles. We set expectations after the walkthrough.
Why trust us with a rewire
Right-size the scope
We recommend the smallest correct fix. Full gut only when the wiring system warrants it.
Code and inspection
California Electrical Code compliance and city inspection are built into the plan, not optional extras.

Often yes for phased rewires. We keep critical circuits online when possible and schedule room-by-room outages. Full gut rewires during major remodels are easier when the home is vacant. We plan power phasing with you before opening walls.
Smaller targeted rewires may take a few days; whole-home projects often take one to several weeks depending on access and patch scope. Remodel coordination can stretch the calendar. Your custom quote includes a realistic schedule.
