Electrical Repairs in Lakewood
Lakewood Center and East Lakewood mid-century homes call for repairs first: dead receptacles, tripped GFCI, flickering lights, and breakers that will not hold when laundry and AC overlap. Center-area tracts still show shared-neutral quirks under remodel kitchen load. We repair what failed, then talk capacity only if the board itself is the limit. Many repairs start with a $189 diagnostic credited if you hire.

About Lakewood
First Electric is a licensed C-10 shop based in La Mirada (C-10 #1120441). We cover homes and small commercial suites across Lakewood: Lakewood Center, East Lakewood, and West Lakewood.
People call when something stopped working: a dead receptacle, a breaker that will not hold, half a house dark, or a panel that feels warm. We fix that first. When the service is maxed out (no spare slots, unsafe gear, or load that will not support an ADU or Level 2 charger), we plan the upgrade honestly and pull the permit. Fire or life-safety emergency? Call 911 first, then us.
How a repair visit goes
You call, we listen
Tell us what failed, when it started, and whether breakers trip or anything smells hot. Call (657) 239-6331. We schedule a tech or prioritize unsafe conditions.
Diagnose before we price the fix
On site we find the root cause, not just the symptom. You get a clear explanation and a custom written quote before we change parts.
Repair and test
We make the repair to California Electrical Code practices, restore power safely, and test the circuit under load when that matters.
Honest next steps
If the panel, feeder, or wiring is the real problem, we document it. No surprise “while we are here” markup without your OK.
Timeline
Many repairs finish the same day (about 1–4 hours once we are on site). Parts special-order or permit-required corrections take longer; we say so up front.
Why homeowners call us for repairs
Phone-first, human answer
Call (657) 239-6331; a real person answers, not an AI phone tree. That is how we book service calls.
Licensed C-10 work
C-10 #1120441. Electrical contracting for hire in California is licensed work. We pull permits when the repair requires them.
Custom quote after we see it
Complex faults are not priced from a script. $189 diagnostic credited toward the job if you hire. Written quote for the scope we found, no cookie-cutter estimate.
Repair before upsell
Service and repair calls lead our mix. We recommend a panel upgrade or rewire only when the diagnosis says you need it.

"This company is great! Had an outlet that wasn't working no matter what I tried. From setting up the appointment with Leah to when Michael and Joshua came out.

"I had two light blurbs flickering. Michael was able to diagnose problem quickly and make repair I would definitely recommend them"
"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."
Janice M.
Whittier, CA
"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!"
