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.

Service Questions
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 Before you buy a home or small commercial property, we inspect the electrical system for deal-breakers: outdated panels, aluminum branch wiring red flags, overloaded services, and obvious hazards, so you can negotiate or budget with facts.
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.
