About Placentia
First Electric provides residential and commercial electrical services in Placentia, CA. Placentia's residential areas feature homes built from the 1950s through modern developments, creating a range of electrical system ages. Many older homes have 100-amp panels designed for simpler times, struggling with today's needs including home offices, EV chargers, multiple air conditioning units, and numerous electronic devices. Newer properties frequently require EV charger installation, smart home wiring, and electrical upgrades for additions or remodels.
