About Long Beach

First Electric provides residential and commercial electrical services in Long Beach, CA. Long Beach features a mix of residential neighborhoods, commercial districts, and waterfront properties, creating varied electrical needs. Residential areas typically have homes built from the early 1900s through modern developments, with older homes often needing panel upgrades and electrical system modernization. Waterfront properties may require specialized electrical work due to proximity to water and unique building requirements. Commercial districts require reliable commercial electrical services, including lighting upgrades and electrical maintenance for retail spaces, restaurants, and entertainment venues. We handle Long Beach's building codes and permit processes for residential, commercial, and waterfront properties.

"Michael saved us on a Sunday afternoon when one of our outlets started SMOKING! He came over, was super professional, and helped get us to a point where we could safely get the electricity turned back on. He fixed up some of our other wiring issues and gave us a couple quotes for other services (not including the attempted IT help ). He came back a few days later and installed a new microwave for us as ours had also recently gone the way of the dinosaur. Yes the house is apparently falling apart. But when we need electric help in the future, Michael is our first call. Thanks!"
