About Downey
First Electric provides residential and commercial electrical services in Downey, CA. Downey's mid-century homes built in the 1940s and 1950s 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 We specialize in upgrading mid-century homes while preserving architectural character, updating outdated wiring, installing GFCI and AFCI protection, and ensuring systems meet current California Electrical Code.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 Downey permit applications.

It depends on the lease. Some landlords deliver a vanilla shell allowance; others push TI electrical to the tenant. We work with tenants, GCs, and property managers in Downey and price only the electrical scope you own under the agreement.
Yes. Commercial TI and upgrades require permits under the CEC/NEC and local amendments. We pull permits and coordinate inspections around your build schedule.
Service Questions
Sometimes. Attic and crawlspace fishing can replace many runs with limited patching. Fully concealed damage, plaster lath, or slab homes may need more opening. We scope the least-invasive path that still meets CEC/NEC and inspection.
Age alone is not the rule — condition is. Many 60–70 year old Downey homes still have original cloth, knob-and-tube, ungrounded circuits, or overloaded panels. If circuits are brittle, ungrounded, aluminum branch wire, or failing inspection/insurance review, a partial or full rewire is often the right long-term fix.
Panel upgrades for older homes, EV charger installation, electrical repairs, and electrical remodels are most common in Downey. We're experienced with Downey's electrical needs and building codes.
