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 We specialize in upgrading mid-century homes while preserving architectural character, updating outdated wiring, installing GFCI and AFCI protection, and ensuring systems meet current California Electrical Code.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

Service Questions
Warm switch/outlet plates, flickering lights, odd smells at receptacles, aluminum conductors visible in boxes, or breakers that trip under moderate load. Do not ignore heat at terminations — call (657) 239-6331 for diagnosis.
Generally no. Covering energized knob-and-tube with insulation can create a heat and fire hazard and is restricted under common CEC/NEC and energy-code practices. De-energize and rewire before insulating those cavities.
Signs include two-prong ungrounded outlets, warm outlets, frequent trips, lights dimming when appliances start, cloth or knob-and-tube in the attic, aluminum branch circuits, or an insurer/inspector flag. We open accessible areas and give an honest panel-only vs rewire recommendation.
Panel upgrades for older homes, EV charger installation, electrical repairs, and electrical remodels are most common in Paramount. We're experienced with Paramount's electrical needs and building codes.
"I recently had lighting fixtures installed and a full electrical inspection done, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The technician arrived on time, worked efficiently, and showed great attention to detail with every fixture installed. The lighting looks ama…" — Zoey Cameron, 5-star review.
Pricing Questions
Rewire pricing depends on access (attic/crawlspace vs walls open), knob-and-tube or aluminum remediation, panel condition, and finish repairs. A ~2000 sq ft home is not a fixed package price. Every job is different — we provide a custom quote after we see your site. Typical whole-home rewire or major upgrade projects often start around $9,913 in labor (28 hours at our standard rate) before materials, permits, and scope; there is no one-size-fits-all maximum.
