About Los Angeles
First Electric is a licensed C-10 shop based in La Mirada (C-10 #1120441). Within Los Angeles we cover the Downtown LA and East LA corridors we actually reach from La Mirada: homes and small commercial suites, not a citywide invent.
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.
Available in These Locations
We provide electrical repairs services in cities throughout our service area.
Frequently Asked Questions About Electrical Repairs
Process Questions
We do not give blind estimates over the phone. After we understand your Los Angeles project and, when needed, visit the site, we provide a custom written quote with scope and pricing spelled out. Call (657) 239-6331 to start.
Most diagnostics take about an hour on site. Complex intermittent faults can take longer. You get a clear explanation and a custom written quote before we start paid repair work beyond the diagnostic.
Like-for-like minor repairs often do not; new circuits, service changes, and many replacements do. We tell you upfront when a permit is required and handle it.
Service Questions
Tripping breakers, dead outlets, flickering lights, failed switches, damaged wiring, GFCI/AFCI faults, and most residential or light-commercial troubleshooting. If it is sparking or smelling like smoke, treat it as an emergency.
Dimming often points to loose connections, an overloaded circuit, or a panel that is near capacity. We diagnose the circuit and panel safely. If dimming is new or getting worse, get it checked soon.
Yes. We replace overloaded panels, upgrade services when needed, and coordinate inspections. Every job is different. We provide a custom quote after we see your site. Typical panel upgrade projects often start around $4,957 in labor (14 hours at our standard rate) before materials, permits, and scope; there is no one-size-fits-all maximum.

"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."
