Panel Upgrades in Santa Fe Springs
Warehouse and light-industrial panel upgrades in Santa Fe Springs need accurate load calcs for Community Development plan check, including three-phase where the building requires it. Carmenita and Telegraph tenants usually care more about when the bay goes dark than about a generic upgrade brochure. We size for real production load, coordinate SCE when the meter moves, and write the outage window into the quote. We do not install utility transformers or industrial switchgear.

About Santa Fe Springs
First Electric is a licensed C-10 shop based in La Mirada (C-10 #1120441). We cover Lake Center homes, Los Nietos edges, and light industrial / warehouse suites along Telegraph, Carmenita, and Pioneer.
People call when something stopped working: a dead receptacle, a breaker that will not hold, a panel that feels warm, or a tenant suite that lost power before opening. We fix that first. When the service is maxed out or the code path requires a feeder or panel change, we plan the cutover so a machine bay is not dark longer than the swap. Fire or life-safety emergency? Call 911 first, then us.
How a commercial panel upgrade works
Assess load and gear
We review the existing panel, connected loads, and planned equipment so the upgrade matches real demand.
Custom written quote
Every job is different. We provide a custom quote after we see your site. Call (657) 239-6331 to schedule around your hours.
Permit and utility
Building permit, inspection, and SCE coordination when the meter or service ampacity changes.
Install in a planned outage
Power is off for the swap. We land circuits cleanly, test, and meet inspection with downtime planned up front.
Timeline
Many small commercial change-outs land in one extended outage window (often 6–12 hours). Utility appointments or larger gear can add schedule time.
