About La Mirada

La Mirada is our home base — most calls start here before we roll to Buena Park, Fullerton, or Whittier. Housing spans 1960s–1980s tracts where 100A panels were sized for far fewer circuits than today’s kitchens, mini-splits, and home offices. We model load before recommending panel upgrades or whole-home rewires, replace unsafe gear, and coordinate permits with the city. Commercial clients on Beach and Imperial corridors get the same standard: clear scope, code-compliant work, and communication you can rely on.

"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!"

Is a 100-amp panel enough for an EV charger in La Mirada?
