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.

What do customers say about electrical repairs from First Electric?

Process Questions

Do I need permits for electrical work?

Most electrical work requires permits for code and safety compliance. We handle permit acquisition and ensure your work meets local codes and regulations. Permit handling is included in our service when required.

What should I expect during an electrical service call?

A licensed electrician arrives on time, assesses your needs, and explains the work. You get a custom quote and we start only after you approve. We clean up and verify everything works before we leave.

Do you provide warranties on your work?

Yes. We provide warranties on all installations and repairs. Terms depend on the work; we explain coverage in your quote and provide warranty information in writing.

Will you clean up after the work is done?

Yes. We remove all debris, materials, and tools and leave your property as we found it. Your satisfaction includes a clean, tidy space when we're done.

How long does EV charger installation take?

Most EV charger installations are done in one visit, often within a few hours. We confirm your panel can support the charger and complete wiring and mounting in the same trip. Timeline depends on panel capacity and installation type.

Do electrical repairs require permits?

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

Often not without a load evaluation. EV chargers add continuous load; many La Mirada homes already run near limit on 100A service. We measure real usage, then recommend a panel or service upgrade only if the math requires it.

"Do not use! They charged me $190 to "diagnose and repair". The technician they sent out did not listen to my issues, but instead just reset the breakers and told me to upgrade my box. He did not diagnose the actual problem and he did not repair anything. Instead they used it to try to upsell me. THEN, they refused to even send me quotes so that I could look over what they were offering. They insisted they must set up an additional meeting and meet in person before they would give me any quotes. Any company that does this is very shady and this is an immediate red flag! This is disrespectful of my time and is only necessary if you know your quote is not competitive and you need a hard sell. There are better electrical companies out there. Don't waste your time and money."

"Michael diagnosed our circuit breaker tripping (ended up being a tricky issue related to an outdoor outlet) and ultimately fixed the issue. He explained everything clearly, including general electrical best practices, and also provided advice, suggestions, and quotes for other electrical work around the house. He was professional and friendly throughout, and we never felt like we were being upsold or pressured."

"Our project was to have recessed lighting installed in livingroom, center ceiling fan wiring in dining area, hide wiring in wall for TV and components, and repair outlet. We searched companies on Yelp and decided to call First Electric after reading many positive comments from customers. Michael responded promptly and provided us with quotes for different options. We didn't have to look any further. We were sold by Michael's demeanor, professionalism and honesty. He started the job in a timely manner and was very thorough making sure every detail was to his and our satisfaction. First Electric is now our preferred choice for all our electrical needs."

"Thank you, Michael! Not only was Michael highly recommended, but he delivered...and delivered more reasonably than any of the other bids I got. He was professional, kind, and ensured everything was working before he left because another electrician had tried to do the same but it only worked intermittently. He was able to rewire an outlet in my hall closet that is deep and dark and find the issue to repair somehow. Now I can see to organize the closet! Thanks so much! Highly recommend!"

"Considering I interact with all kinds of contractors in my line of work, I know how much of a pain they can be to deal with so I d give out 5 stars lightly. Working with Michael was an absolute breeze from start to finish. He responded to my request promptly, took my call right away, was upfront with pricing, showed up on time, very friendly, explained everything clearly, didn’t try to upsell me on unnecessary work and got the outlet replaced in half an hour. I would not hesitate to call him again and will happily recommend him to anyone I know in the area who needs an electrician. This is the kind of customer service you want."
