Long Beach issues we see with pre-purchase electrical inspection
- Overloaded 100A services: dryer, AC, and kitchen trip the main when they run together
- Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or Pushmatic panels that still turn up here: warm breakers or a main that will not stay reset

- Shared neutrals and kitchens remodeled without a service upgrade: lights flicker when the laundry starts
- Dead outlets and GFCI that will not hold after a storm or a bathroom remodel
About Long Beach
First Electric is a licensed C-10 shop based in La Mirada (C-10 #1120441). We cover homes and small commercial suites across Long Beach: Downtown Long Beach, Belmont Shore, and East Long Beach.
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.
