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 We specialize in upgrading mid-century homes while preserving architectural character, updating outdated wiring, installing GFCI and AFCI protection, and ensuring systems meet current California Electrical Code.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.

Under recent NEC/CEC cycles, AFCI is required for most dwelling unit living areas — bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, hallways, closets, and similar. Exact room lists follow the code edition your city adopted. We install listed AFCI breakers or combination devices where the AHJ requires them.
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.
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.

"Michael was awesome. Helped us replace/upgrade a couple of light fixtures and did a great job. The lights give our place a more modern look. He was efficient and I would definitely recommend!"
Steph G.
Fullerton, CA
"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!"
