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 We specialize in upgrading mid-century homes while preserving architectural character, updating outdated wiring, installing GFCI and AFCI protection, and ensuring systems meet current California Electrical Code.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

What Lakewood Customers Say
Trusted by homeowners in Lakewood
Aaron S.
Lakewood, CA
"Service was great and professional and completed job within the estimated time. Will use again in the future."
Bianca R.
Lakewood, CA
"Michael is great! One of our switches in the house stopped working out of no where. We tried to turn the breaker off and on but nothing seemed to work so we took to yelp to request some quotes. Michael's quote was reasonable and he was able to come the next day. He was patient with us and took the time to educate us as well. He crawled into the attic and found that a wire was short and after fixing it we were back in business. I would definitely use him again and recommend him to other people!"
